    Why is vendoring frowned upon, really? I mean, the tooling could still know how to fetch newer version and prepare a changeset to review and commit automatically, so updating doesn…

    Why would it decimate the Windows market? From my experience, there's a strong correlation between iPhone and Mac usage. Looking at the stats, the Win:Mac ratio is 4:1 but Android:…

    The assumption is that a "waymo bus" would be hailed by an app and the service would plan routes on demand. In such case, bus stops would be needed only in busy areas or in places …

    Good context. They're commenting only on why are they increasing some setup fees though, not justifying their existence. The Hetzner setup fees were in place already before the RAM…

    Hetzner charges a fee for setting up your bare-metal machine. Often zero for their smaller machines and for those in auction. Probably they don't want someone to order a large flee…

    There are multiple companies doing that. I was using one a few years ago, also don't remember the name, haha. I guess it's an obvious thing to sell, if you go through the process o…

    In fact, sometimes I open bash even from zsh. When pasting from a script and debugging why something doesn't work as expected, I don't want bash-like. For ad-hoc loops, bash-like w…

    Wow, that's stretching it a bit, isn't it? I'd say the spirit of open source is that others are free to modify the code and that's it. This requires a good license, the possibility…

    Hey I'm not saying it's always a better way or that all apps should be developed in a certain way. But it's a trend, people are doing it for a reason and I think I understand why. …
