I like your style!

@alexcleac I wish I had this problem.

I find it hard to contribute to others' projects, because when I have time to write a patch (i.e. not busy doing university stuff), the maintainers don't have the time to review it. And when they have the time to review it, I don't have the time to improve it.

Synchronizing free time is hard.

lol :D

Btw. IMO it's funny that there are 2 sources of truth. Would be much better if it was registrars (or even registries) signing your certs, instead of CAs. At least in case of DV certs.

I said it many times and I'm gonna say it again:
Depends on your threat model.

I don't have KDE handy, so can't test it myself. Any links where I can read about it? Is it a different thing than Konqueror?

Anyway, while having more web browsers isn't bad, what we really need is more HTML layout engines.

So:
1. people talk in the channel but you don't see it
2. you join the channel
3. you see new messages people send in the channel
4. you get disconnected
5. you're still in a channel, people know you're in the channel, and that you'll get the messages
6. your connection recovers
7. you get all the messages sent between 4. and now.

Yeah, it is important to recognize when a program is complete, and avoid adding more functionalities to it that could be made as separate programs.

He is right that for his program at the end of the blog post, having more features would be bad.

However, often having less features would be better.

Sometimes it's a good idea to sacrifice completeness for the sake of simplicity.

@poetgrant
Finally, his program has 200 lines and is a lot less readable than the one-liner it tries to replace

Using Free Software doesn't automatically give people freedom.

The freedom is in the user's ability to modify the software when it does something user doesn't like, and make it do what user wants it to do.

As long as there's someone in the world for whom modifying the software they use is not an option, be it because of license, excessive complexity, lack of time, lack of patience, or because the person is afraid or overwhelmed by the concept of modifying something - that person is not free.

What I'd like kids* to learn* is Software DIY.

typos, typos every where....

@Shamar @ekaitz_zarraga @enkiv2 @jcbrand

I think you're misunderstanding the term "Software Engineering".

It doesn't mean making good quality software. It means mass-producing software of predictable quality at predictable deadlines. The manglement turns down the quality knob until the cost-time tradeoff is acceptable, and then hits the "START" button.

What I'd like kinds to is Software DIY. Or, IOW, hacking.

I think there's another obstacle to innovation: buying in to the narrow vision of innovation that Sillicon Valley startups subscribe to.

so now Cloudflare:
- hosts website's DNS
- reverse-proxies websites
- runs a DNS over HTTPS resolver
- runs an IPFS gateway

Is it just me, or are they positioning themselves to be able to MITM everything?
