There's variance in developer experience and skill as well. The software's purpose functions as an audience filter. There are still probably toxic people out there using your software, but not as many so they're less likely t

On the plus side, SpaceX is making launches much bigger and cheaper, which will make space-based telescopes much more affordable. Cheaper launches = more, cheaper satellites.

OpenZFS/ZFS on Linux diverged after version 28. They now use version 5000, and use feature flags instead of version numbers to allow different implementations to add their own improvements. Oracle has added some features since then as

Your anecdotes of falling without hitting your head aren't very relevant. And if you had such an accident, you might not be capable of posting here.

I do not sit in the middle of the road waiting to make a left turn on a bike. That just seems way too dangerous. Instead I ride through the intersection to the right side of the cross street, and wait to go straight through after the light

One advantage of using open source libraries is that they are often more battle tested and cover edge cases you either didn't consider or have not encountered yet. The trade off is less time spent fixing bugs, but more time spent on ma

Think Uber carpooling, minus drivers, much cheaper, and short pickup times. Maybe 6-10 person shuttles instead of sedans/SUVs in denser areas. To a car service, moving an empty vehicle is inefficient and a waste of money.

It's a bit more complicated than that. The British Empire had some battles with China in the 1800s and took over Hong Kong. Eventually in 1898 a treaty was signed effectively ceding the territory to Britain in perpetuity, but for face-

FH got delayed because they kept improving the F9, so they didn't need the FH for many of the original target payloads. Some of the delay was due to technical issues, but changes to the F9 were significant over that time period. Starsh
