<p>Why are you using your personal account for work?<p>_always_ and I mean _always_ have a separate github/gitlab account for work and private things, otherwise you risk getting a lawsuit of your (former) employers. Especially if your work contract assigns all intellectual property rights to the employer.</p>

<p>The point he was making was not about the tech or tools to sign commits.<p>It was about the laziness of humans not actually reading the code thoroughly when they sign it, and therefore negating the point of ledging/signing the state of the project.</p>

<p>I kind of agree with this argument, too.<p>The process of signing a commit is used in a kind of wrong manner, I suppose, because of your mentioned points.<p>The "view of the file tree as you saw it" basically implies that signed commits aren't worth anything if the code is refactored or changed later, which inevitably it will.<p>Using tags as a reference point, however, is the idea of snapshotting a mutually agreed state between multiple parties working on the project.<p>I think you could take this a little further, and use it to implement a Q&A workflow, where e.g. a code review team and a testing team should sign a specific snapshot as "working as we saw it", and that could integrate very well if you e.g. have a semantic version epoche of your project.</p>

<p>For me, the peak of decentralization efforts were Beaker Browser [1] and Stealth [2].<p>But one project didn't make enough money and the author of the other one got doxxed into oblivion, so I guess we can't have nice things.<p>A peer to peer browser has so much potential, I wish somebody else might give it a try. Imagine the possibilities when you can just share the content with others, without needing a web server.<p>Does anybody know whether there's a decentralized (static/generated) blog for ipfs or similar? Maybe that would make a nice starting point.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker">https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/tholian-network/stealth">https://github.com/tholian-network/stealth</a></p>

<p>As if IPs matter in the golden age of IoT botnets and residential app malware.<p>You can't even block the amount of subnets that's coming for you in a DDoS attack, thinking a human is able to keep up with something like this is pretty blindsighted and naive.

<p>They release enzymes necessary for the spice/acid production. The acid counteracts those enzymes.<p>If you cut open peppers, you can see the black veins which were bit by bugs, those are the ones containing the carbon acid.<p>A better way to protect them against virusses but not against bugs that won't harm them is by combining the top of peppers with the root of potatoes, and by using moss to heal the cuts where you combined them (e.g. with a toothpick)<p>Of course that won't work on an industrial scale, hence them favoring pesticides.</p>

<p>The article doesn't contain the actual reason.<p>I'd argue that the real reason is that peppers are now mass produced in clean, bug-free, environments.<p>Which means: No bug bites, no spice.<p>If you grow peppers indoors where no bugs are, they tend to be a very mild produce. If you put them outside (and have enough insects around), they get much more spicy.<p>Of course the usage of pesticides contributes to that effect, due to bugs not having a chance to bite the fruits anymore.</p>

<p>Nothing you will ever build will work on iOS, because the minute you make money with it, Apple will kick you out.<p>Remember headphone jacks? Why do you think they got removed? Because all banking apps were using them, including paypal, square, hsbc and others - due to Apple not leaving any other option to build a credit card reader except by using an audio stream. And then even that got removed :)</p>

<p>I think they try to unify their rendering workflow, just like chromium did when they forked off blink and switched to skia.<p>In WebKit, however, that implies that they refactor the Bridge API that is used in between contexts and processes which was an internal API before and broke away often.<p>So I'd guess they start to do incremental changes on the Web API implementations first before they break too much anywhere else (e.g. sidebars, UIs, widgets, devtools are rendered differently but rely on the very same Bridge API)</p>
