I'm wondering if all the resources that went to Wayland for the past TEN years were directed to slowly evolve X11 to the same direction we would be in a worse or better situation. It seems to me very similar to the Python2/Python3

I think it greatly depends on the kind of startup you have in mind. Traffic is one of the worst things about living in Istanbul, but as a founder if you choose properly where you leave and where to have your office you can use public transp

It's a pity that robots.txt doesn't let you specify what the crawler can do with the resources it's allowed to fetch. I think that if we had such a feature (or something similar, like a "License" header) standardize

I don't like the idea of putting your whole home directory under git. First of all for most files manual versioning is overkill; you probably only need to share them and for that something like for Dropbox or Syncthing; this together w

Anecdote, but I had once a broken SATA controller that would send borked data to the disks. That was tricky because the disks were correctly writing the data sent to them and from the OS side all the operations were completed successfully.
