This is a good example of what understanding your tools can give you. Answer is new or novel approaches to the old problems. Ability to create a patch from any diff is really really usefull. If you have wip changes, but don’t want to commit it to, then creating a patch is a quite easy way to go.
If you use a programming language which behaviour depends on the symbols that you hiding 90% of the time (I am talking about line ends and whitespace types) you will have a bad time. No amount of gitattributing or autocrlf magic will save you. You will suffer and you will get a phantom bugs if your editor and diff viewer will not show you “whitespace” changes.
And at the same time any programming language that will break due to whitespace should be chastised and laugh upon. Whitespace type should never be significant modifier for behaviour.
Also YAML can fuck off right into the sun.
I am very very skeptic about this whole DORA org and approach and adoption. I have a greatest respect to the DevOps philosophy, but from DORA I only got a baseless/faceless metrics. Maybe it is also Google driving it that gives me additional rejection impulses. I am quite skeptic at what and how Google does and this colors my perception of all thing it produces.
Why can’t there be a normal P2P project handling exchange of information and/or modern fiat in the same way (Something like Paypal, but transactions have no middleman)?
Firstly because money is a physical, cultural and social construct so it can’t be changed on purely informational basis. Someone still need to share burden of proof and they want to be compensated for the labor. So until we get a StarTrek replicators (mean we remove need to spend money on basic need and survuval of whole human race) this is a state we are in.
In short blockchain and crypto don’t solve any real world problem. It solves problem that it itself creates.
I can sell you amazing knife and it will fix the world hunger, but only if you can buy bread and sharpen the knife. This is crypto sell point in the nutshell.
Blockchain is little different as it solves the problem of provable chain of evidence, but it is not economically viable due costs needed to run it for organisations that require it. Any problem that blockchain can solve require that all information for this will be stored on blockchain. And physical object information is not stored on blockchain, so data input errors/malpractice is still the problem and this reduce blockchain effectiveness to the basically zero.
Dan Olson aka foldablehuman have an amazing series of video essays regarding all the crypto blockchain and web3 scam running around. I highly recommend them. It just a sea of information regarding current state of things with crypto/blockchain business.
There is no love if you dont constructor it. Then you would need to initialize it or use existing instance to borrow. You can even extend from Respect or Humor as a starting point, there is no need to implement Love from scratch.
