Just as Go.

> I also guess his main concern with Flash was, that he couldn't control the proprietary plattform.

Oh, the irony.

You can use ArchUnit[1] or similar frameworks to impose the constraints.

What are you talking about exactly?

iOS GMail App > Settings > Default Apps

You cannot choose Firefox or Brave but you certainly can choose Safari.

New comment by livesinhel in "Stop Taking Regular Notes; Use a Zettelkasten Instead"

I share your frustration. However, it makes sense, if you think about it. Having to give a note a title makes you think it through, and with Zettelkasten you can easily split it into many atomic notes, each covering their own thing.

As a workaround, you can have one note dedicated to all your random notes, which you can periodically review and reorganize.

> Arbitrary rules like line width (and I assure you, those rules ARE arbitrary) help exactly 0 people per day, and cause problems for more than 0 people per day.

Linters' line length rules solve a problem of useless bikeshedding and introduce consistence to the code. This already helps everyone involved in reading and writing the code.

1.2 Europe's 740 million people speak in at least 24 languages. This makes it much more difficult to scale internationally. That's why there's so many doppelgänger companies in different EU countries — it's more likely that somebody will create a regional clone of your successful business than you'll be able to scale.

How can this be? Do you have regular stand-up meetings?
