The members of the pedophile club are way richer, more influential and have a vastly greater quality of life than you.

Same problem with JavaScript's NPM. And Python's PIP.

I think the FBI/CIA/NSA could afford 8000 nodes if they wanted to.

I think this is a common practice in every country. If the tax payer is at fault, the tax payer pays. If the treasury is at fault, the tax payer still pays.

Hoping that journalists pick up on cases like these and spread the word wide enough is... optimistic, to say the least.

A much better solution is to build incentives into the legal system, like tgsovlerkhgsel suggested. The problem isn't that bad actors abuse the system, the problem is that the system allows bad actors to abuse it.

Are you saying this new plastic will also clog up our oceans?

It is too bad it is up to the founders themselves to offer liquidity to employees. Founders are financially incentivized to not offer anything, so you're counting on their sense of justice and morals to overcome their sense of personal gain. This should be regulated.

(Yes, this is a political opinion. No, I am not American.)

Glad I switched to Ubuntu

Have we come full circle? Docker was made to create a stable environment for an executable to be run in. Now we're making executables out of the stable environment... should we run that executable in a docker image too?

Wouldn't be surprised if Unity is developing their own multimedia engine they want to sell. Shitty practices like this is what makes me want to get into politics.

I looked for any mention of hosting your own server on the repo's readme and could not find it. This is not readily available information so stop shaming people for not finding it.

But thank you for sharing the link that was helpful

I'd prefer the other way around. If the language was verbose but its tools (IDEs, analyzer extension) hid redundant info from you.

I might not be against that...

Assigning variables or calling methods (when you discard the return value) would look the same as is typical in many languages:

    int x = foo(); // foo() returns int but we can see that in what type x is
    foo(); // we don't care what foo() returns
Named variables in method calls would have to have the type so as to not hide what type a method-as-parameter returns:

    CoolObject cool_obj = bar(int arg1: foo())

I can't remember which language, but there is one where every number is a double and there is no int type.

Is Onyx like that? I don't know. It would take me maybe two minutes to look up. The point is I have to look it up to be certain when that certainty could be part of the language.
