Which leads to problems: see systemd. Also, to be clear, Linux is relatively small compared to Google or Microsoft, or indeed many corporations codebases. Someone could conceivably read the entire Linux kernel codebase. That's not true

Its important to read that line in context: >There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. The zen of python isn't saying "only have one way to do anything" it says "have at least one obvious w

I'm curious, because this is something that I was interested in doing for brick and mortar universities, what aspects do you use to do your recommendations. That is, is it just a x/5 rating per user that is thrown into a latent fa

But it does matter to a lot of people, which I think is the thing. There will absolutely be people who are willing to sacrifice some ease-of-use in the name of additional privacy, but it seems that those people are in the minority, and that

Why not Safari or Opera? Competition is good. You can make a standards based browser and then add additional features that others can't or won't provide. Building it in house gives them more control. Do you think Mozilla would hav
