Ideally the merchants only need a bank account, not to sign up with all these apps that try to control the market. The client would use inter-banking payments to send the money and voila.

It's quite scary to think that a bank only fix obvious security issues after public shaming. There are a lot of internal services in a bank that are not exposed to the scrutiny of security researchers and will therefor never get patc

URLs are useless for normal people, normal people don't know what URLs are. They don't have the time for learning what it means. If they want to access a website they will Google for it and click on the first result and don't

I forgot the 3rd category, those who see the world exclusively through the functional programmer lens :-D Mapping functionally it worth it if the transformation between A and B is regular enough. But things are dirty. Some irregularities ap

Maybe that's the issue. From what I have seen, the lack of generics mainly becomes painful when working in the numerical space. If I work on mapping JSON, doing APIs and CLIs I don't really need generics. If I work on algorithms a

A VPN is point-to-point. You fire up the client on your laptop and connect to a server. That server is usually also acting as a bridge into a network. It gives your machine a presence into that other well defined network. ZeroTier is an ove

Even if Redis were to change license, the ones who would be to blame are the big cloud providers that re-package OSS products and rent them without giving anything back. They are milking the work out of these projects, taking only the oppor

Ironically AWS (and probably Google) is the reason why they had to adopt that kind of license since they are not giving back. Obviously AWS is not tied by the license but it would make sense for them to sponsor the product instead of milkin

Learning everything from scratch is a big ask not everybody is willing to jump for. Some users might feel intimidated by the amount of things to learn before they can become productive. If that gets new users in, make them comfortable until

I already have a decentralized social network and it works great, it's called brain. If my brain is not capable of remembering people then are the connections really meaningful? I don't mind using email, forums, IRC and various ch

My own silly analysis: monetisation can come at a later stage. Since the server is running on the customer's Window machine they won't have much infrastructure costs to support even if they get very popular. If the main product is

The main reason to use `curl | bash` is because it's installed almost everywhere. Everything else can be bootstrapped from that. If there was a standard `curlbash <URL> <SHA256>` program that was installed everywhere it wou

It's an unsubstantiated claim but my impression is that governments are not good at managing companies. Who gets to decide if it's better to use LibreOffice or OpenOffice? What are the features that are the most important for the

For vim users, vimwiki[1] is great. It combines the wiki with jounaling features and is easy to call up while editing any other files. Just make sure to change the default from wiki to markdown format. [1]: https://github.com&#x2
