urgh. What is old is new. "Copilot" is the new omniname, what ".NET" was for a previous generation.

Unnecessary _now_ perhaps, but not unnecessary when lodash was written. In 2009, when underscore.js came out (from which lodash was a fork) Array.every() was not something you could rely on. Chrome just came out a year earlier (and didn't support Array.every until version 4) and half the world was on IE 6-7-8

It got baked into the silicon valley culture for some reason. When the rebellious innovators à la Wozniak and the Berkeley folks merged with trillions of VC spewing finance bros, a weird amalgam was created where while everything is in reality about money, it needs to be sugar coated with drivel about wanting to change the world and solve world hunger via the application of middle out compression algorithms

requiring an account on day one makes me wary that the whole thing is pre-enshitified.

Why do you think NetBSD is more popular? Of all the BSDs FreeBSD is by far the most widely used.

Docker on freebsd's been abandonware for a few years now.

Or a causal thing....reddit being down means that some number of people switch to hackernews to pass time.

the entire point of TPP Was to exclude China...

Steve Job's return to Apple was not like this at all. For all his faults Jobs was never as erratic as Musk, and he never pulled stunts like causing 80% of the staff to be fired or leave, nor did he ever lock the buildings in Cupertino.

Due to timezones? or is there something in Japanese culture that makes friday meetings disliked?

If Github had planned downtime every 3 months people would scream bloody murder, so the point stands that github's uptime is almost surely better than someone who selfhosts.

The irony is that the Canadian (and Quebec) government usually get flak for shoveling money and favours to Bombardier, not for refraining from doing it.

ZFS on linux uses the system tooling for SMB and NFS. Like if you `zfs share` a dataset, it modifies the system /etc/smb.conf or /etc/exports.

which goes back to the confusing UI. why should there be a different scroll bar to use than the standard one?

which is why phpbb or even (god forbid) reddit is more ergonomic to use for me. If the thread is enormous, then split it into pages. And if it's not enormous, the discourse solution ends up being heavier and slower than just loading the whole discussion at once.

Discourse's voodoo ends up being more annoying to me than useful, not unlike infinite scrolling.

(obviously this is all subjective..I can only speak to the fact that I get annoyed by it and thus instinctively avoid discourse when I can)
