> Landing still requires a lot of fuel, which needs fuel to be carried up.

That's true, and that reduces the payload of the returning stage. To have it working, you either have to reduce the payload or to increase the size of the stage. In both cases the payload weight to liftoff weight decreases.

> It was a waste and still is.

That's false, as in exchange the operator gets the stage back to be reused on the next flight. That's usually a huge saving in costs. Fuel is relatively cheap, and to make a rocket somewhat bigger or a payload somewhat smaller does relatively small change to the price of a kilogram to LEO comparing to the opportunity not to pay for the stage hardware on the next flight.

Overall SpaceX made a huge improvement in costs and moved the world launch industry quite a bit forward.

I get why you would prefer it clean but its just too much overhead for me. I naturally make lots of changes together - especially on a complex feature, you need to build things in a "full-stack" way horizontally so you can test as you go. Then pulling things apart into "clean" atomic commits later just takes too much time and I don't really know how to do it efficiently.
The fact that the EUPL is available in all the official languages of the Member States of the European Union is a very important aspect of the license for me. This means I could reasonably fight for the freedom of my software in the local courts available to me in my home country, which does not have English as an official language.

As the European Commission claims on their site, as one of the reasons they chose to create a new license instead of relying on those already available:

> The licence should have equal legal value in many languages.

In addition, the EUPL is not any license text some (from a legal perspective random) people came up with, but the text of the license was written and voted into law by the EU itself, therefore it can and does rightfully claim the following, which is invaluable to me as a FLOSS author residing in the EU.

> any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License [...] will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union [...]

So even if the local courts interpretation in my home country falls short, the Court of Justice of the European Union will surely take into account the intended purpose of this license as laid out by the legislators of the EU.

Creator of Cicada here. I mentioned this in another thread, but I have an experimental "GitHub Actions to Cicada" converter tool I'm working on that makes it easier to import GHA workflows to Cicada. GitHub already has an importer tool to import other git providers to GHA, but of course they don't have any export features.

Like you said, there are lots of intricate details you need to get right, and each CI/CD provider has a different ethos about how CI should be done. What I'm trying to do with Cicada is create one workflow format that gives you the power of GitHub Actions with their numerous event triggers, but make it work for other providers like Gitlab. Having one format that works with many providers is better than converting multiple formats back and forth, IMO.

B&W mode is great until you're trying look at photos or watch videos. I wish there was a setting in the operating system to remove color from UI elements and not videos or images. Or turn B&W on/off for certain apps, like photos and youtube.

Insisting on highly organized git history is like insisting on particular order of cleaning. History is not the product itself. It is not the code itself. It is less important and matters only a little.

In the rare situation when I have to read it, I am perfectly ok looking at previous commit too or whatever. It is still less overall work then what people describe in here.

Even with room, I do not want my room infinitely clean. I am ok when books are not ordered by height and color for example. I do not need t-shirst ordered by color either.
That only covers the incentive for the lawyer for one isolated case. But since such a lawyer will probably take many such cases (and often against the same banks), we must examine the incentives of such a lawyer more closely. The incentive of such a lawyer is to keep taking such cases, which means it is actually in the lawyer’s interest to deliberately lose some amount of such cases, in order to keep it profitable for the bank to keep debanking customers, thereby ensuring that the lawyer has enough business.

Curating the commit history takes like 10' per PR and can easily repay in hours of work when some bug hits. Or when you want to tell the junior that wants to implement X for A, why don't you take a look on this one commit where we implement X for B?
The most widely useful method to manage changes in repos is:

1. Open a new branch and do development there. You can rebase and force-push all you want.
2. When ready for review, open a PR of the branch, and never rebase again.
3. On approval, Squash-Merge your PRs and include a merge comment linking to the PR.

This way you can "clean up" your development history in your branch, maintain history of changes requested in a PR, the entire development history is available at the PR link later, and you can revert an entire PR by reverting a single commit.

There's a plenty of better*-designed systems, problem is no one (except a few opinionated geeks) cares [enough] so they're unlikely to ever beat Git unless a miracle happens (aka a major industry leader will make something trendy by promoting it).

For example, Darcs (older) and Pijul (newer) are based on patch theory, so Git's rebase issues are moot there.

*) Of course, "better" is subjective.

my grade school had a computer with a drum reader with fingers that would rotate. you would punch holes in each row to write your program. it had switches and lamps for input output for basic arithmetic functions. does anyone remember these or have a picture?

In high school we had the teletype and used rolls of punched tape to enter programs on a PDP-8.

At CMU they a IBM 360 batch processing we used for our fortran programming class. it used punched card readers. Our programs were always do Friday (Thursday Midnight). The batch process time from card reader input to compile and printout was close to an hour. My study group would write and enter our initial version, then hop in the car and go to Ally's bar for a piture of Iron City beer. We would come back, get our results (5 errors, 6 warnings) make the changes and re-enter, hop in the car for another pitcher. Came back and slowly got the number of errors and warnings lower. After 5 edits we came back and our errors were back to where we started. A case of diminishing returns I guess.
Well yes, that's precisely my point. A grocery store being a mile away doesn't make a neighborhood unwalkable. This is contrary to what Sohcahtoa82 said, citing a grocery store a mile away making that neighborhood unwalkable.

> "It's not even close to anything. Even the metro line is about a mile walk. The nearest grocery store is over a mile away."

If you want to take advantage of a walkable neighborhood, then you shouldn't be complaining about a mile. A mile is nothing. Before WFH I was walking two miles to work and two miles back every day, and that doesn't count all the other places I walked to every day (another one or two miles for lunch, and another one or two miles in the evening.) And I still managed to gain weight with that routine.. Somebody complaining about one mile sounds like a joke. If you actually want a walkable neighborhood, you should be prepared to walk.

In bizarro land, maybe, but in the US if one side breaches, the agreement very much not null and void.

The legal terms for disappearing in a puff of smoke, should you wish to know more, are “void” and “voidable,” generally speaking.

> Today many web developers are taught that in order to do so-called modern web development they need to use JavaScript frameworks [...] Likewise, back-end development must not take place without spinning up yet another pile of framework glue just to send a single byte of information to the browser.

Matching complexity of the solution, to the complexity of your problem I think is a good goal to have. You don't need a ton of framework-y stuff to ship your blog. 100% agree.

However, I do not want to work on a complex web app with only homegrown-structure. You'll end up building something like a framework anyway. Maybe without JS, maybe without any dependancies, but you're still going to make some sort of structured framework to make your life easier. Maybe that's a benefit if you consider it building only the minimum framework you really need, but there's value to not reinventing the proverbial wheel.

In people's experience with these sorts of tools, have they assisted with maintainance of codebases? This might be directly, or indirectly via more readable, bette organized code.

The reason I ask is that these tools seem to excel in helping to write new code. In my experience I think there is an upper limit to the amount of code a single developer can maintain. Eventually you can't keep everything in your head, so maintaining it becomes more effort as you need to stop to familiarize yourself with something.

If these tools help to write more code, but do not assist with maintainance, I wonder if we're going to see masses of new code written really quickly, and then everything grinds to a halt, because no one has an intimate understanding of what was written?
