Publishing it on GitHub is optional; you can publish it anywhere accessible. And unlike these journals, it doesn't cost you anything to access free software. In fact, paywalling it makes it unfree.

VIM and self-hosted ollama for free? Nothing stopping you to build the world you want really.

You are mentioning a civil war that happened a decade ago that is by no means exclusive to Hezbollah. I couldn't care less what their founders wrote, but, strangely, they care about the rule of Islam in Israel when their president is a

Yes, a flood of immigration combined with systematically displacing the local population. See the Nakba and Settler movement.

Nice, using Islam as a scapegoat. Lebanon is a democratic republic that has 43.4% Christian population. If that is their intention, why not focus on their country first rather than attacking Israel?

I think we can all agree that the ancient Roman and Byzantine empires were not exactly gold standards in protecting human rights. However, the fact that something was done to the Jews thousands of years ago does not make it acceptable to do

You forgot to mention your neighbor razed the yard and killed some relatives too. Throwing some Molotovs, while it may not justified, is still an expected reaction.

Aren't the async situation in Rust is because the designer want Rust not to be opinionated and be flexible? i.e. you can choose not to have runtime in your app or using runtime that fit your particular needs.

Just bash script isn't enough if there's no automated process that run it every time developers make changes to your main/release repository trunk. If you still run it manually to verify your build, then it's not a CI. I

More apt comparison, should we erase Meinkampf or Das Kapital or any books that inspire violences (for example, the holy books) from existence?

Wrong mindset. You still need to support the developers somehow. I still bought games/movies but get the non-DRM version just for the convenience i.e. not having to start launcher for playing games.

Doing politicking on Twitter is fine as long as they don't bring it into work places. This is the reason why I don't follow my boss or any of my colleagues on Twitter beside that I don't do socmed much anyway.

It's not the tech that makes Twitter interesting, it's the already established networking power. You can clone the tech but you can't clone the social part.

Which has benefit so that you can see past messages. This why I think Telegram is a perfect place for hosting public groups chat (like an IRC but with better usability).

The analogy to Formula 1 isn't apt either. It can be the wheel, the engine or the steer. But it's no way a whole "car".

I had an opposite experience. Go code is just like other code in any other languages. It still can be abused to be unholy mess. I see a Go code that have channels all over the place that it's hard to follow the program flow, a function
