The question is: are they willing to compromise growth for QoS. So far the answer is a resounding: "no". They are deliberately sacrificing the experience of existing users to gain new ones.

Yes, Bill Gates worked like a maniac and didn't see his family. His wife took care of the kids. I think that's a terrible example to set (I wouldn't want to do it) but each to their own.

Before kids I would also become depressed if I worked remotely full time. But today my "alone time" is already pretty much gone outside work hours so I don't mind being by myself during the day.

Not saying Google tried and failed - they may just have realised that actually winning this was never an option.

Github beat basically every Code hosting platform out there. Probably dusins of Github-like startups tried and failed because Github did so well.

So whether Google Code "wanted to win" or not doesn't really take away anything from the posts argument that Github won due to timing and taste.

> What are some common rules that get applied?

This is specifically answered under "Categories and Their Definitions":

> Compromised: This is a list of known compromised hosts, confirmed and updated daily as well.

> Scan: Things to detect reconnaissance and probing. Nessus, Nikto, portscanning, etc. Early warning stuff.

> SpamHaus: This ruleset takes a daily list of known spammers and spam networks as researched by Spamhaus.

> Web Apps: Rules for very specific web applications.

So React shouldn't get new, powerful features because some people might (ab)use them for simple websites that don't need it? That's bollocks and I'm sure you can see that. If you are generally annoyed about this, go rant on Twitter - no reason to do it here.

Bottom-line: some cities can never be be great for bikes. But most can but just aren't.

You can easily ride 3 bikes next to each other (and also four if you want). A single slow transporter won't block the traffic on wide lanes like this.

A transporter bike can carry 2-3 kids easily. It's the most convenient, cheap and healthy option. As soon as the kids are old enough they get their own bike.

Of course, it's convenient to have access to a car a couple of times a month. But definitely not on a daily basis.

Turns our, it's not so black and white...

In a study from the 1980s: > However, most studies have shown that dark characters on a light background are superior to light characters on a dark background (when the refresh rate is fairly high). For example, Bauer and Cavonius (1980) found that participants were 26% more accurate in reading text when they read it with dark characters on a light background. Reference: Bauer, D., & Cavonius, C., R. (1980)

So perhaps dark mode actually puts more strain on the eyes? At least when the user is not in a dark room.

Very interested to hear about similar research done in this area.
