> It's probably easier to archive stuff when it's centralised to one platform. If only all the platforms used the same protocol that allowed you to easily clone code from any of them just by changing the URL. Oh, wait…

Good to know. Do you think Codeberg is actually faster than GitHub now?

I prefer an editor that I can customize to my liking and I don't have a conflict of interest with the developers.

But it doesn't respect the code's license.

I'm guessing they mean that, but according to ForgePerf, GitHub is better in that regard. https://forgeperf.org/

It's not a “legitimate gripe” if you can safely ignore it and it won't affect you (as long as you use a consistent naming style).

What is hard to understand about “the climate is changing for the worse because of the heavy usage of fossil fuels, so we need to limit using them as much as possible”?

The main page has a huge prominent “Get Free Trial” button, while the “Sign In” button is small and hidden in the menu. A common dark pattern. The performance is sluggish. There's always a lot of buttons and stuff on the screen that mo

That wouldn't work. robots.txt is not enforceable.

The terms of service explicitly say that GitHub is not allowed to use your code for commercial purposes.

That's an unrelated meaning of the word “order”. In this case, we have statements that all get executed, but in a specific order. There's no choosing between anything. What you're referring to is ordering in the mathematical

Obviously you could do that in this case, I just wanted to come up with a complicated formula.

Yeah, I realize that now. That's even worse. So you'll have to write something like int aa,twoa,twoab,bb,aaplustwoab,aaplustwoabplusbb; if (ckd_mul(a,a,&aa)) { return error; } if (ckd_mul(2,a,&twoa)) { return

Excuse me, but I'm still offended by the word “miscalculations”. It implies that calculations can be wrong, which dehumanizes people with dyscalculia.

Obviously dereferencing a freed pointer is incorrect behavior, but what harm is there in using its numerical value?

The DOM API, which is objectively the most important JavaScript library, has an inconsistent naming convention. Specifically, it can't decide whether it wants to treat acronyms/initialisms as words. See for example getElementById
