API/SSH keys can easily be swapped, it's more hassle than it's worth. Be glad they didn't choose to spread the payload of one of the 100 ransomware groups with affiliate programs.

Most language users will follow the "spirit" of the language - e.g. Bill is against package managers, people who use his language mostly agree with his ideas, and there's not a hug…

"Vendoring step" You cannot make this shit up. You're providing a library. That library has dependencies (although it shouldn't). You've written that library to work against a spec…

No, I did not suggest that, in fact in the very comment you're replying to I said: My point was not that running all that on one computer is a great idea... Regardless, if you want…

If you're doing 10 million transactions per week (which is likely way more than what they're pulling) that's about 16 transactions processed per second. You can add inventory manag…

You're making your customer's life miserable by having dependencies. You're a library, your customer is using you to solve a specific problem. Write the code to solve that and be d…

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If you need 40,000 servers to keep your business running (which you don't, your ~3-8 million weekly transactions can be processed on 1 compute…

The idiotic statement is yours. If the "sometimes" is important to you, you can have it - you're not the first person on the internet to play word games. But unless you can come up…

No, not everything is a trade-off. Some things are just good and some are just bad. A working permission system would be objectively good. By that I mean one where a program called…

Please read again the sentence you just typed. > We have to lock people down and physically prevent them from harming themselves. You can apply this argument to literally anything,…

"Don't use the phone." Let me just give up on banking and the proprietary 2FA app that my job requires. Guess we're going homeless to protest Google, boys.

It's not illegal to not release your software on a platform. But the mobile market is so top-heavy on both the apps and the games side, that without a few key developers - Meta, By…

Too bad there is one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_A...

Conspiracy: They're shutting it down so competitors' AI and search crawlers can't visit the links, but theirs can, since archiving efforts aside only they have the DB. Given that i…

Should I also change it on my mother's computer who doesn't speak English? We can also start distributing .bat files that change the system language along with our spreadsheets, fo…

There's a very restrictive RAM usage limit on iOS and the tab crashes when you reach it.

I wouldn't call using Bitcoin legitimately trying. Even in 2017 Monero existed, which solves both the fee and transaction time problems, and as an added bonus is way more private.

Volatility isn't an issue for the merchant - prices can be adjusted in real-time based on the cryptocurrency's value at the time of purchase, and if they don't want to be exposed, …

It really hasn't. Everything has been tried with crypto, except actually buying things with it.

Statistically so far 100% of header only C libraries that require you to define XXX_IMPLEMENTATION are fantastic, so this is probably a good library.

Yeah, I misunderstood the question. Although if you could statically link .so/.dlls and have it work reliably, it would still be a great convenience, as some libraries are really h…

Because with the current compilation model shared libraries (.so/.dll) are the output of the linker, but static libraries are input for the linker. It is historical baggage, but as…
