   Regarding free services, one could have said the same thing about Orkut or Myspace. Community tends to flock in via one door, and flock out via another door, as long as the product or service is free. In this case however, completely agree

   Answer: No jurisdictive boundary. When you transfer to a bank account, it cannot move out of the country's jurisdiction without triggering multiple regulatory touchpoints. It's not easy to cash the money out overseas. But when you

   Complexity != Importance. Airbnb is investing in their business, in what they believe (and they probably know from their numbers) will grow their future. They don't have to rationalize it only if there is complexity involved.

   People ignore the clearing house because they don't see it, they don't interact with it, and they don't have a customer contract with it. For all their practical purposes, the clearing house doesn't exist. It's obvi

   Critically speaking about Wayland for what Wayland is, reporting bugs, asking for enhancements, this is good. The author is not speaking about closing down the bug board or enhancement feedback. But criticizing Wayland on a pure comparison

    I've found sites using Material UI guidelines (heavy use of cards and navbar hamburger) especially culpable to this. Huge gap of greyish whitespace with a hamburger in the left. Someone else mentioned bootstrap in the other thread too.

    Not exactly the same. As I mentioned in the comment, you have direct access to the Linux OS when you host. Open as in access to the underlying OS is open. You can configure it, install packages that you want, etc. When you run AWS Elasticse

    Popular OSS licenses were designed in an era to allow direct customers (businesses) to directly install and use the software, and redistribution means only distributing the package. Nobody at that time knew or predicted that SaaS (let alone

    Looks more like reliability vs speed. Small & fast compilers skimp out on various safety checks and edge cases. Yeah it might mean segfaults and crashes in weird archs and situations, but it's fast on perfect machines.

    What I hate is, it's orders of magnitude more toxic for kids. Hyper-amplification of bad recommendations. For sure, Youtube's (bad) impact on current generation children will be felt (in a bad way) for many upcoming generations to

    You are comparing a runtime API (Win32/Xorg) with a compile-time library (GTK). They are totally different. It's totally fine for a library to have new versions, and for those new versions to be breaking. You can run two applicati

    That's really weird to hear. If you build an app with GTK3 today, it's still going to work for 10 years. It's compiled into the application, it's not a runtime API. Even if you upgrade GNOME to some futuristic 10 year ve

    Thanks for correcting the link [1]. And yes, the voting machines have evolved to deal with that as well. Now, the printed paper is clearly displayed, the citizen looks at it and then they press OK if it's fine, and it falls straight in
