I find the price jump at 5gb for Migadu pretty steep. I’m carrying around 2 decades of emails so I’d need the next size up for sure and that brings it in Fastmail territory without providing all the bells ans whistles Fastmail has. (E.g. 1Password masked mail integration, iOS push)

At least in ruby theres mayor code bases using stripes sorbet and the official RBS standard for type hints. Notably its big code bases with large amounts of developers, fitting in with the trend most people in this discussion point to.

I agree. It seems like an effort to criticize issues of late stage capitalism without sounding like a socialist.

There’s also strong overlaps with Varoufakis’ “Technofeudalism”, I.e. construction companies living in autodesks fiefdom.

While is share the praise for Ruby's hash I find the argument that it might be daunting for a developer (of any persuasion) to pick between a `SortedList` and `Dictionary` worrying.

Looking forward to the CCC talk of somebody using a homemade low powered xray machine to retrieve the code without cutting the note.

Besides the badly written smart contract I'm also struggling to grok what exactly is Dutch about this auction. It's not that the price of something keeps dropping until somebody makes a bid.

Instead everybody pays the lowest bid? Does everybody get a token as well? Why would anybody bid more than the reserve im this model?

  Many systems using other “preferred languages” also
  implement some form of GIL (e.g., Javascript’s V8 machine,
  CPython); we don’t hear complaints about it, because these
  languages have a rapport for heavy lifting and parallel tasks.
As a python developer i almost fell off my chair when i read this section. We don't hear complaints about the GIL in python? I love the article's tone in general but that's some heavy Gell-Mann Amnesia or filtered news sources :)

weird game theory view here, would you not be incentivized to never finish the book because people might be waiting for that 1.0 moment to cancel their subscription?

As much as i like lunduke usually, i find it a bit unreflected to just say "we are stupid for banning our founders" without acknowledging anything they might have done wrong. I do agree that the pitchforks approach to public disagreements should not be our (or anybodies) default. But "leave our founders alone" is not a policy I'd personally subscribe too either.

Also vaguely poking fun at therapy as if it was a punishment for something is just plain immature.
