Author here. I don't expect people to pay me for anything. My main motivation was (and still is) to just give back, since I profit from free information and software created by oth…

May I recommend Berkeley Mono ( https://berkeleygraphics.com/typefaces/berkeley-mono/ ). It's a paid font but well worth it, given you're spending hours every day looking at it. I …

If the TLD didn’t already somewhat give it away, the fact that one of the panoramas is titled „Buero of David Sarif“ is just so very “German” – confidently using the entirely wrong…

That’s what I meant with digital services being a decade behind here. I attribute it to extreme conservatism to preserve jobs that aren’t in fact necessary. Bureaucracy is incapabl…

I believe the author’s point to be that due to no English translation available, the already involved process in Germany becomes unnecessarily hard for a non-native speaker. As a n…

The caching vs. update issue could be trivially addressed by running a daily cronjob to update the static completion file.

I believe the main point to be the common thread of increasingly infantile behavior in all of society that appears to be amplified by Twitter’s “engagement” circus.

”Chief moral officer” – is this some kind of weird in-joke or meant verbatim as stated? I don’t get it.

At this point this is the only explanation that makes any sense. Elon Musk may very well be a moron who has been incredibly lucky until now.

I thought we were discussing GitHub stars' correlation (or lack thereof) to donations. I don't see how usefulness for many people should be limited to software only. Anyway, I've s…

One of it is, in fact, a static document, basically just a very large README.md file chock full of information. It could be a book.

You know, let them. Whatever I decide to share with the world, I do for reasons of giving back. If some grab, run and foul-mouth, that’s their issue. The main idea of free culture …

What about those self-contained ones like mine?

I have done exactly this, after being fed up with GitHub. Surprising no one, if you set out to build the “social media but for code”, that’s what you get. I’m using a combination o…

GitHub stars are a useless metric. It’s basically a bookmark count. If there was any correlation between them and donations, my combined projects of 35k+ stars should make me at le…
