it happens all the time in bash. i write some and there’s no error but everyone complains that i didn’t use brainfuck

Yes, 100 projects from the Fat Head would make sense.

Do you have any way to establish that these 100 more often come from the Long Tail?

If an app includes 50 well-known big projects and 1000 small projects, the sum result can still be that small projects make up for a large fraction of the code.

I understand your point that this is possible. It is an assumption to assume it is most likely the case however.

I would expect the Fat Head of most used open source projects to make up the vast majority of the open source code included in apps. It is not a common practice to include 1000 small projects into a code base for an app, or even 100.

Is it not reasonable then to expect that the 77% of app code from open source is because the most popular app building blocks are open source? Aren’t the popular open source languages, frameworks, and databases are themselves big enough to exceed the number lines of internally written code for the app business logic most of the time?

For example, if I make a “small” electron app its going to be 90% or more open source because the electron base is so large already.

The insight that a majority of open source projects are small contributions by hobby developers, and that it is their summed joint effort what matters, is very interesting.

The vast majority of open source projects are by hobby developers but how much of those projects make up the 77% of the open source included in apps mentioned in the study?

The author assumes an even distribution but I challenge that.

The most popular (Top listed by Github, Gitlab, etc) open source languages (python, typescript, etc), frameworks (rails, flutter, react, etc), and databases (postgres, mongo, redis etc) are all either directly corporately funded (Google, Microsoft, Meta, etc) and/or have robust foundations and sustainability plans.

I would expect these to make up the vast majority of the open source code in modern apps.

Its a culture issue. Sadly, a lot of places have a very body shaming culture and raise people to be ashamed of their own bodies being seen. In my experience, cultures that include nude sauna do not have this kind of body shaming.

Imagine if you moved to a new country. When you got there you found that everyone in town shaves off their right eyebrow. They shame anyone who doesn’t. If you were raised from birth to feel that having a right eyebrow is shameful, then you would also feel shame at not shaving yours.

The good news is that you can get over body shame. Spend enough time around people who don’t practice such shame and eventually you get used to it and feel fine. Look at the complete chill at which that family does nude sauna. You are not different than them other than some of the ideas you were raised. You can change your mind if you want to.

I agree, I enjoy a series rewatch a lot more if enough time has passed to forget some of the details.

In general I think I’m more likely to rewatch movies multiple times. Especially long time favorites.

I don’t think I’ve rewatched any show more than 2-3 times and even that is pretty unusual for me. I need a good 5+ years in between. The show I have rewatched the most is The IT Crowd.

The model of record player you choose will have a direct impact on your experience.

At the bottom you have the cheap suitcase players with built-in speakers. These will play your records but the speakers aren’t great. People often find that many records won’t play well (or at all) on these cheap players. A record players is a machine and the cheap ones aren’t very tunable and have very low tolerances for scratched or imperfect records.

A nice player with a full size platter, anti-skate, and a counter weight will happily play the same records that won’t play on the cheap suitcase players. These more expensive players will not have built-in speakers so you also need amplified speakers or an amp+speakers. The sound quality will depend on what speakers you buy but will certainly be better than a suitcase player.

Then you have the high end luxury models. These can cost more than some cars! Are they worth it, well that’s up to you and your budget!

What does “optimized for desktop use over Tor” mean? Please explain the optimizations.

I mostly look at people’s mouths when they speak. Is that weird?

Knowing hardly anything about the original, I’m fully enjoying the live action series.

They help me a lot but they aren’t a magic cure.

I want 2011-2012 on repeat

People want to believe because they wish badly for the money. Back in the late 90s my friends and I keep seeing papers advertising a guarenteed money making system for only $2.

Finallt one of my friends could not resist and ordered it.

He got instructions to put signs all over offering the money making system for $2.

“As you paid for it you can see that it works.”

Tipping when they visit places where it isn’t normal or expexted.

And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al.

Ah yes, it’s safe to dance!

I grew up on MTV when it was music videos and once again I have “mtv” on the cable I get with my apt but it’s called Xite. It’s 24/7 music videos. I put it on in the background almost daily.
