There is definitely a long gap between "Don't care about env at all" and "Preventing everything being built because it hassles some small animal". I'm afraid and you and many people are biasing towards the other end even if you believe you are a white knight.

Anyway, I'm not in UK so I don't care. Good luck.

> GTK is by various definitions the most popular, widespread GUI toolkit on Linux that makes your app fit into _most_ ecosystems.

I disagree. Qt is also quite popular and much better at adapting to the environment it runs in.

It ultimately depends on a company's risk appetite.

Some companies specify that packages need to be hosted on their internal repository/artifactory, and for these companies, pyx might be a good tool.

Exactly, allowing employees to install pypi packages from the internet isn't different to allowing them to install any software from the internet.

Why do you want to reward effort? I’ll just push a boulder uphill all day and accomplish nothing and then come with my hand out.

Also, in your opinion what is the correct proportion of wealth received to legitimate, valuable effort, and vision contributed? I’d love an answer that is an integer percentage, like “43%.”

Until everything starts using DoH (DNS over HTTPS). There is pretty much no reason to use anything else as a consumer nowadays.

In fact, most web browsers are using DoH, so pihole is useless in that regard.

I've seen lots of negative comments (and negative moderation) on HN toward content sourced from Fox News and The Washington Times (and other "conservative" outlets). This article seems to claim that those two employed the only journalists actually pursuing this story, and that other outlets (such as The Washington Post) were actively trying to discredit or sabotage their work.

I'm in the small minority that only gets news by reading, and the stuff I read comes from many different politically biased views. Do this for a while and you'll see that the bias is always present (one way or the other), but the news stories themselves still usually have (at least some) merit.

Technical users reporting bugs like this with a mail client should endeavour to find out if they are serious about the issue. The initial reporter worked for Sun Microsystems.

Which web app or startup uses them?

Well with that question you neatly define the bubble that you inhabit.

https://db-engines.com/en/ranking ranks Oracle at number 1 and MS Sql Server at number 3, their method being a broad range of statistics based on job offers and web search statistics.
