how is (2) likely to be benign and not plagiarism? It is completely different from leaving an author comment in a draft...such a weird take.

terraform has nothing to do with terraforming either

uuids are ubiquitous and easy and implemented in many languages in the standard library - therefore a dev can get near-guaranteed uniqueness without thinking too hard about it.

Until another standard similar to what the article is suggesting becomes widely implemented in standard libraries then uuid isn't going anywhere, although in principle I agree with many of the arguments presented.

For music this is the case AFAIK.

Ah, I will concede I probably am just a huge idiot then. I suppose I don't often find myself needing to bootstrap a linux OS in this way.

Nix reminds me about that xkcd comic about standards. It seems to be to be solving a problem solved in a much better way by other alternatives with the mindset of IT from a bygone era.

I may just not really be the target demo, or maybe am just a huge idiot, but I struggle to see the appeal, especially when you hear about the occasional horror stories about complex and/or broken environments, or the vim-like overhead to learn it properly.

>She recommends that app users stop scrolling and talking to other matches once they have found nine people they feel some level of connection with, and dedicate their time to really trying to get to know those people first.

That really seems like quite a lot to me...

I think the latter point about "less ceremony" is extremely debatable especially on a larger project.

Very surprised this is getting downvoted, I think in two years from now everyone will be singing this exact song when the next flavour of the month arrives.

The sad thing is Spotify used to have a really, really, really good native client.

Spotify have been continually reducing their offering since inception. This reminds me of when they stopped supporting Djay, a djay software where you could mix spotify tracks. It was genuinely a super useful bit of kit.

Instead their devs waste time on useless features and UI rewrites that they have to go back and re-add old features to and never seem to optimise for performance.

I hope that is the developer of this site having a sense of humour.
