> Also, runtime errors are ok if they happen in your test cases. Yes, but if some errors can be caught sooner by your linter/IDE/typechecker then it speeds up development. Would you rather be notified of a type mismatch immedia

Agreed. The majority are beginning to realize that strong type systems are actually helpful instead of a mandatory annoyance. Most programming I've done in the past has been with python (no type hinting) or languages with weak static t

I find it slightly odd that sourceforge is so highly shunned after the malware incidents, while various other large companies [eg. microsoft (dodgy behaviour in skype, etc.), facebook (spying, selling data), lenovo (superfish), etc.] have b

Yeah you're right... :( At least it gives a better user experience because there isn't all the pre-installed bloatware.

Yeah sadly even though you can install a rom like Lineageos, many apps require the google play services installed, which then requires the Gapps to be flashed. Which kinda defeats the purpose... :'(

Disappointed this list doesn't include Matrix/Riot as an alternative to Hangouts/Allo. Also there are many Google Drive alternatives including Syncthing (p2p), Dropbox, Nextcloud/Owncloud (selfhosted), Sugarsync, SpiderO

A plus for neomutt is that it integrates nicely with notmuch for searching emails.

Arch would be a nice choice for your description - the base install comes with a minimal selection of software, so you can easily add what you want without there being any bloat. However it doesn't come with a graphical installer. A de

Hmm yeah that sounds like it could work better. Are there any disadvantages of using /etc/cron.d over crontab though? It seems that doing it that way would require root access on the client/minion, but I guess running as root

Thanks for that explanation! pull vs push mode makes sense. Yes, none of the modules I've seen can efficiently work with configuration stored in a single file like crontabs. For example, the salt module needs to read and write the enti
