General-purpose deduplication sounds good in theory but tends not to work out in practice. IPFS uses a rolling hash with variable-sized pieces, in an attempt to deduplicate data rysnc-style. However, in practice, it doesn't actually make a difference, and adds complexity for no reason.
This is stupid good advice. I use quicksilver as a launcher, and by putting bookmarks in a folder, I can index them and launch them like any other app or document on disk. Thanks for writing this up!
I definitely don't think Just will ever unseat Make. Just doesn't have file-based dependencies, so it's not a build system, just a command runner.
As far as unseating Make as a command runner, I think that might just take Just being available in more places, since one of the main advantages of Make that many users cite is that it's available everywhere. Just is already available in a lot of package repos, but not all of them. Finally packaging Just for Debian[0] would help a lot.
One time me and a friend having an animated conversation on the 7th floor of Soda hall at Berkeley and William Kahan came out and gave us a coupon for Sizzlers. I think that was his way of telling us to get the fuck out.
If this law comes into effect, consumers will pay the increased cost of delivery of 7 years of software updates when they purchase new phones.
Smartphone makers don't sell new phones with a higher price tag and the guarantee of 7 years of software updates, likely because consumers would prefer a lower price and no guarantee.
Thus, the law would effectively force people to buy something that they don't want.
The fact that consumers don't want phones with 7 years of guaranteed updates (if they did, they would be willing to pay more for them, and smartphone makers would happily oblige) means that the impact on resale values would likely be small, or that consumers are unlikely to try to resell their phones.
