How can such a wrong answer get so many points? Clones and forge forks are unrelated. First, GitHub or GitLab cannot and could not link clones together without analyzing the remotes of each clone.

FFS it’s a tech community…

Forks do not exist in git. It’s a GitHub feature, and a massive blunder at the same time.

Is there a downside? I’m confused.

I don’t understand the downvotes. You’re right on all points. If the task is too big, it can take years from testing another solution to using it for real.

Back when Nginx started, Apache was the only alternative and a big pain in the ass. That’s how it became popular.

That’s boring. Altman wants to save the world whatever that means, not solve the shitty problems that poor people have.

• Medium sucks
• Clickbait
• After reading a few pages, what is the point of this article? There are hundreds of pages of conversation, WTF?

Only Americans seem to say this. Why? I’ve seen a lot of couples at work and no one minds.

I even gave an example

You haven’t given an example. Where are your sources?

It is their project, but no company will use it if it’s broken on Windows.

Funny because in France it’s a word used as the N-word for white people, like “crackers” in the USA.

I learned Python and regular expressions to download hundreds of pictures from 4chan. Good times.

God. I didn’t knew that Drew was such a language nazi. If you want to write a Go clone, it must be useful for everyone. Even Emacs is available on Windows officially.

That’s a good reason. I used my Java skills to crack a shareware (a solitaire game) because I had no money.

Ruby because it was the first popular Japanese language. I wrote a few useful scripts and it was nice. Then it was swallowed by Rails, and killed by Python. No one uses it around me but it was fun.

AI spam I guess.

They don’t protect my privacy because they have a disadvantage though. That’s not at all what the GDPR is all about. Same for the other laws.

That and the fact that they released 3 games instead of a thousands games all at once 10 years ago.

At least we still have best Russia, which is… the best Russia we’ll ever have.

Yet another AI scam is never a bad idea if you want to get funds.
