For certain projects I monetize, there are reasons I don’t share the code.

Patents don’t magically find people infringing your intellectual property. The owness is on you.

That being said, I have bills to pay, and mouths to feed. Giving my solutions away for free, doesn’t help those issues.

eh… no. its not.

• coming from an actual developer.

Lets say, you work somewhere, that does, say… https decryption and/or logs stuff… or the firewall just blocks stuff in general.

And, you want to say, access that stuff.

Well, you can route your web traffic through a ssh connection, instead of it going out the traditional path. This allows you to bypass content filtering, etc.

Its, essentially like having a VPN tunnel, routing your traffic. Amazing feature.

Amateurs.

I have evolved from using file extensions, and instead, don’t use any extension!

Cough… oracle.

Select …

From basetable a Left join jointable b on b.leftside = a.id Left join othertable c on c.id = b.otherside

Honestly, I am all good with getting rid of the drives.

I hardly ever touch CDs these days. I keep a spare USB reader, for making a backup copy of a music CD or movie DVD/Blueray, which I use, maybe twice a year.

I have boxes of DVDs and Blu-ray in the garage, and I don’t ever use them. Matter of fact, if I wanted to use them, I’d have to go find a blueray player to actually play them with.

I do all of my gaming on PC, and I don’t think I have physically purchased a game in over a decade. Steam/GoG are both quite nice.

System Certificates

Aka, you cannot untrust google’s certs. And google can do whatever the fuck they want, and you cannot change or alter that behaviour.

So, if google wants to publish a root CA, that allows them to act on behalf of any other domain, they can do that. etc.

I’d love to see the same comparison with more real-world use-cases.

Code golf, is mostly pretty simple use-cases, which have been optimized many times over.

When, you build out an application with a user-interface, proper event handling, etc… c++ is MUCH more verbose then c# for example, and they are ranked pretty close together.

yea… every modern IDE makes it extremely obvious of the unicode character…

SO… yea…

If you really wanted to be evil, zero-width space is the worst.
