Here's my hot take: they're victims of a pump-and-dump, only instead of enticed by the promise of a get-rich-quick scheme, they're experiencing groupthink while people encouraging and controlling this narrative are running aw

It's crazy to me that the open source world has completely standardized on a closed (and now Microsoft) product like GitHub. I'm sure someone would have implemented this feature for them by now if it was free software.

I mean, the article is pretty lean. It basically says, "Don't use OAuth because if you're locked out of your account on the OAuth provider, you won't be able to sign in." I don't disagree with that. I don'

Golang does have https://proxy.golang.org/ , which is fairly recent, but yes this is absolutely a problem in Go. See the "go-bindata" problem.

A common practice is to introduce services that handle shared functionality. One common example is, instead of having a shared library that reads & verifies JWTs, use a gateway service that handles this before requests reach the upstrea

Honestly, it's probably because it's marketed towards gamers. It's a really useful product for sure but the gamer marketing definitely affects people's perception.

The GPL has always been criticized for its definition of distribution, which allows companies to host SaaS offerings of GPL software without having to make their modifications available. Hosting a GPL-licensed server and receiving network a

When can I buy a TV without smart features? I don't doubt that my smart TV is reporting some data about my usage, but I barely have a choice in the matter.

It's a bit sad. With a bit of money and some connections, you have access to a botnet large enough to cause some serious downtime.

Yup. Ozark Electric Cooperative in Fayetteville, AR started a gigabit ISP for all of its customers. 1 gb/s internet with no caps for like $80/month. I was so sad when I had to move further north where there's only Cox.

I love protobuf for this reason. Personally I've opted for Twirp instead of gRPC, as gRPC has a lot of baggage, and streaming is really not necessary for me. We've had to drop-in-replace, or add a validation or access layer servic

How accessible are open-source slack competitors like Mattermost? I feel for you. I'm blind in one eye and am at a pretty high risk of going blind in the other because of it. I do my best to make sure the things I build are accessible;

I'm unfamiliar with the topic. I know that sodas are loaded with sugar, but what about these energy drinks with 0 sugar? Wouldn't the only really bad thing about them is that they corrode your teeth like soda does?

I think the only real issue I have with json/yaml/toml/etc is the fact that the options available to me aren't obvious. I have to go digging through documentation to find out what keys are available and what values they
