Could you explain how NAT is relevant to the growth of walled gardens to someone was born after the development of the World Wide Web?

I fundamentally disagree. The reason synchronous video communication continues to dominate is because it's more information dense than text in many situations, and more interactive than asynchronous alternatives. Asynchronous communica

All the problems with streaming you mentioned are completely artificial. They are not actual technological problems with streaming.

Eh, all those could be remedied with relatively small changes, and the commenter's point is clear regardless.

How antifacist became a dirty word in the minds of many Americans is baffling to me. Also, the fact that people are taking the antifa stuff seriously and Republicans are just parroting Trump on the matter is ridiculous. I just skimmed throu

Worth noting that as far as I can tell, only the first one is from a group calling itself antifascist, and the triangle is a different orientation.

I really like listening to the worker talk about computers at 14:28. He conveyed much of the same thoughts we still have about computers and automation.

I feel like you didn't read the comment you replied to carefully. Did you have GB upload speeds with cable too?

Without Section 230, if I host a unmoderated social network, could I face liability if one person libeled another using my website? My understanding was yes, but your comment suggests otherwise.

A class action may be possible. Or reporting them to the relevant prosecutor or consumer protection agency.

In addition to the reasons GitHub is "bad", people may just prefer to use other hosting platforms.

Gitpay also appears to work with Bitbucket.

Seriously, they just unilaterally decided to take money from projects? Am I understanding this right? Surely that's a huge breach of contract.

Clojure and Go seem like two of the least comparable languages to me. They basically have no commonalities. Comparing Java, Kotlin, or Scala to Go seems more valuable to me.

I agree with you in this case, since master is used by itself, similarly to master key. But I'll try to provide some insight into the argument specifically regarding master and slave used together. > How do terms become trivial whe

If everyone adopted this mindset, there'd be no new programming languages because no one would learn them until they'd been around for 20 years. Sometimes it makes sense for companies to take a risk on a new technology.

Is there any way to mitigate code execution issues (besides just fixing bugs)? Because allow code execution might be a pretty big deal breaker in certain contexts.

IA likely also agree that creators should be paid.

Are you being sarcastic? Where exactly do you depend on knowing the name of the default branch of an unnamed repository, and how do you handle cases where people delete the master branch.

I was somewhat aware of Bitkeeper, but crucially, 1. There are no slave branches. 2. "My impression" was my impression as someone new to git. I'm extrapolating other people, but I think it's fair to say that many (most?)

Master is already not consistent. For some repos it's the development branch, for some it's the stable branch, for some it's something else, for some it doesn't exist.

Yes, there are legitimately people who believe the master-slave terminology trivializes American slavery. They are mostly in the U.S. and probably a minority of programmers but they exist. But in this case, there's not even a slave bra

I assume this only applies to new repositories.

I'm a strong supporter of social justice. I don't really object to people putting in work to change language like that if they think it's important. Especially when the work required is minimal. That said, this is slightly ri
