I made (refined an existing one I found in a gist) a little script recently that does this more efficiently with bare repos and bundles: https://github.com/JarvusInnovations/fed-git-backups

The thing is, there really is no such thing as a "free market" as most who are in love with the term envision ALL markets are BORN of regulations. A market is what emerges when you lay some shared ground rules: here's what a

Such an over-engineered API and then you use 1 and 0 instead of boolean for the fundamentally boolean thing that's the whole fking point lol, I'm out

^ This right here. This article is pretty hogwash IMO Points 1 and 3 aren't relevant if they aren't recording the data. Companies in other jurisdictions have no magic invulnerability you can trust to their data getting out (legall

Chef's Habitat is a really powerful nix-like system that I find to be a bit more practical. Like nix though it suffers from being a complete paradigm shift that people coming in from the imperative OS world struggle trying to map their

I hope the team is thinking of dusting of GitBook Editor too

I've switched from GitBook mostly to mkdocs-material for technical docs

Chef Habitat might be more what you're looking for in that regard, it very much feels like an intellectual derivative of NixOS and focuses on the cloud native story

WordPress is an excellent example of a malleable system Proper software engineers will poo-poo all day on WordPress' bad architecture and the messes users make with it But also, it has empowered millions to create and by some estimates

Good recommendation, thanks!

To give some examples, think about what Linux does for operating systems and what WordPress does for publishing. The antidote for mainframes wasn't every individual maintaining their own system, it was every individual having the right

And to add to that, the more generic saas systems you cobble together, the shorter the likely time window until one of them gets acquired/folds/pivots and disrupts you Invested in building your workflow on a SaaS system and it&#x2

Just do it and see what happens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Most certainly use a library at least for building and parsing messages. All the complexity is in figuring out how to use your particular library and figuring out any quirks in the systems your

On top of all this there's the theory that gas giants typically migrate towards their star, it may be rare for a gas giant like Jupiter to find a stable orbit where it can shield the habitable zone Another thing making earth rare is it

There's a lot of value in removing all the plumbing you typically find at the start of node project to handle basic things like routing. I'm a big fan of moving all that "outside" the app This might seem silly if all you

Counting an IP address as PII is kind of crappy, you need a court order to turn an IP alone into PII. Operators should be free to log traffic at the network level, PII should only come into play once you're asking someone to provide pe

That loses one of the big benefit though: being able to take breaks from the tight lace and restore it easily on the go I can't imagine the weight couldn't be cut down to the same order of magnitude you're looking at for a sh

I'm not so sure about the point that the software would need to not change. This will be really interesting to see play out as digital natives age. One school of thought is that we've learned a new generation of things, another sc

Ideally an app could be a big _help_ to friends and family (assuming someone has those). I'm surprised the author didn't get into this question at all, they sort of touched on the app being an alternative to friends and family con
