Just a head's up, I'm getting a 404 on the link to the relay docs (https://www.iroh.computer/docs/layers/connections) when attempting to click through.

I took a peek at the terms of service[1] when considering signing up for an account. It seemed unusual to have them in a separate language from the rest of the site.
Presuming the translation was correct I would "agree to comply with Chinese laws ... [and] grant the company a non-exclusive, free, perpetual license for global use (including modification, display, and derivative development)."
The personal plan[1] repeatedly emphasizes the word free and makes no mention of the $30+/year optional fees or what features differentiate the levels of service.

> The RUN parser currently doesn't support grouping or semicolons in commands
But then example show that it does support `&&`? Why the difference? I pretty much always write
RUN foo && \
bar && \
:
RUN set -e && \
foo ; \
bar ; \
:I prefer heredoc[1] syntax.
I find it more readable and portable.

GPLv3 is a legal landmine. In fact, GPL itself is wildly unpopular compared to more open licenses. The FSF is getting what it deserve here. Open source predates the FSF and will remain long after the FSF is dead.
Whose popularity do you champion, and what sorts of motive bring deservedness in to the discussion?

I pray to god people let go of their superstitions.
:-) Delicious irony

DON'T JINX IT!!!
I've been visiting https://polioeradication.org/ over the years, and every time I get my hopes high, discover more polio cases or polio-positive samples are discovered :(
They have a regularly updates summary: https://polioeradication.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/week...
And the most recent case was on Oct 15 in Pakistan.
I suspect science has had more to do with the reduction than superstitions like jinxes.

I get the sense that Dr. Asimov was too little of a "people person" to usefully discuss the all-too-common human urge to tell others that you are right, and they are wrong. Or positive ways to handle that urge.
OTOH, he may have been quite aware that "read more Asimov, and be more smug about being right more often" was a major motive for people buying his non-fiction writing.

Useful discussion is an interesting scope for someone with the broad, in-depth knowledge of a vast array of subjects he demonstrates in the linked essay.

The Forer Effect can't make chatGPT generate syntactically correct and functional code snippets that I use every day at work.
You make a decent point. There's a clear limitation... but a clearly worded prompt often produces more valuable content than an SEO optimized guess article.
