I published my own list on reddit a while ago of the reasons. And not a single media mention, the entire change in perception was either through Wikileaks’ actions and words, entirely through reading mostly their own Twitter. Edit, found it

Why bother? If the people making the thing can't be bothered documenting it you're going to fight an uphill battle. In the long run, for better or for worse, code is documentation. If the code isn't available there'll be

I especially like the bit where HTML in a row actually gets parsed by PGAdmin 4. Apparently it does strip dangerous content, after some playing around with it, but holy hell, why would it be a good idea to even have this functionality? I&#x

I found that rearranging by desired output seemed to work better, especially once you consider that compression works best on repeated longer strings. With minification as it stands you're forced to have the longer strings once, with t
