Replication is not enough, Competition only wins if it offers lower cost or better service (or intolerable service if free), While yes, the userbase is essential, you're still ignoring the reason why the userbase is there in the first

This is not a magical achievement, github is solvent and its business model is solid, give the same amount of users to any other service and it might collapse. Any service has to scale and the more users it has the more costs it incurs, non

There's companies out there whose main source of business is wetworks, as in drone strikes and so on, microsoft going for the most unethical title, I don't think its even in the ranking. I do agree that not using it is better mora

And there's also pulseaudio, which I had to run in some games with PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90 %command%, other games you can only run in lutris, other games you can't even minimize it or it will mess up with the screen entirely.

I don't think it has anything to do with being old, this is what happens when your software gets too complex that nobody even knows the very basics. This is highlighted with the documentation, if the software's documentation becom

I would like to add that sudo make install is a bigger security risk and there is absolutely no need to run make install as root when you could target a directory that mimics / and tar it with the appropriate root permissions leaving o

You can do this in the news, basically everything you do in finance is look at charts and see trends going up or down, everyone can see it and it informs way more than a story, people do want it, What I wouldn't give for an itemized ta

If you did not return a closure, you could set the metatables __pairs to use your function's. Sadly, you could not do this without keeping some sort of cache, which would be a terrible waste of memory, but then again you're alread

Rebol is the cleanest/greatest language I've read code for but the VM is the slowest VM I've ever wrote code for, mind you I only did the first 10 exercises of euler but the only thing that has it beat is writing a shellscrip

I didn't say it was forth, I said it was concatenative. Forth itself is hard to categorize since it refuses to standardize but we all know what it looks like, I'd say its a low level language/VM that manages everything throug

Isn't this more telling though? that with vastly less developers they've built a system comparable to linux? This is what happens when you have direction.
