There's already a rate limit on pulls. All this does is make that rate limit more inconvenient by making it hourly instead of allowing you to amortize it over 6 hours. 10 per hour is slightly lower than 100 per 6 hours, but not in any

It's not a limitation of the internet, it's a fundamental property of communication. Imagine trying to validate that all letters sent to your company are written by special company-provided typewriters and you would run into the s

If an endpoint costs a lot to run, implement rate limits and return 429 status codes so callers know that they're calling too often. That endpoint will be expensive regardless of whether it's your own app or a third party that&#x2

In my personal view, this seems a little overbearing. If you expose an API, and you want to tell a user that they are "unauthorized" to use it, it should return a 401 status code so that the caller knows they're unauthorized.

If all that's missing is 'a nasm compatible assembler', did they try just swapping it out for nasm, which seems to have a readily available alpine package? https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/m

Yeah, because no one on Linux or Mac would clone a git repo they just found out about and blindly run the setup scripts listed in the readme. And no one would pipe a script downloaded with wget/curl directly into bash. And nobody would

Maybe that's a harsh lesson in making promises that can't be delivered? Or, more likely, no lessons will be learned and people will still trust what the company says in the future for arbitrary reasons.

Seems like the best way for somebody to get over a bad thing that they did in their past is to be forthright in acknowledging that they did the bad thing, and show through their actions how they've become a better person. In other word

> It also allows for much easier reverting of specific changes in case some part of a topic needs removed. I guess I struggle to see where reverting entire commits makes more sense than just deleting the offending code in a new commit.

That seems like significantly more work for marginal (if any) benefit over just having a single squash commit per PR. I don't think I've ever found myself in a situation where I needed more granularity than the PR level when looki

When you are charging people extra for the features you're promising will exist in the future, it seems reasonable to call that fraud if you never deliver.

I think what they're getting at is that for something low quality is less likely to have survived for a hundred years to even be a contender in this race.

As far as I'm aware, the DMCA doesn't have any sort of exception for archival, but it does have one for software interoperability, which emulators definitely are, regardless of how current the hardware being emulated is.

Perhaps that's true, but not because it would be piracy. Backing up media for personal has a pretty strong fair use claim, so I don't think it should be considered copyright infringement. But there is also the DMCA, and the anti-c
