It got me until "Remove lockfiles from version control"

If it has been mass maintained by some random person in Nebraska since 2003, that is battle-tested infrastructure.

The beauty of HN: frequently comments are way more valuable than the article being shared

There are plenty of HN posts where I only read the comments because the discussion around that topic is the most interesting part.

Agreed. I've been on HN for 15 years, and IME maybe 90% of the value has come directly from comments (another 5% from links in commenters' profiles, and 5% from TFAs).

Just for completeness, there's also mu-repo: https://fabioz.github.io/mu-repo/

We've being using it for years. Very simple to setup.

Yes, it went commercial. But Conda is still free. And the community had built conda-forge to maintain packages. Conda + conda-forge can completly replace Anaconda for most people.

So even though they went commercial, they left pretty good things behind for the Open source community.

Just replace it with Miniforge: https://conda-forge.org/download/

Or mamba/micromamba as well

I use Miniforge in a commercial environment and never found a package downloading from the main channel. I'm pretty sure a recipe that does that would be blocked by conda-forge reviewers.

How much of these 9% uses Apple Pay? My bet it's just a small part. People still use Pix and physical Credit/Debit Cards. Google Pay/Apple Pay are far behind.

Considering all the major banks credit cards are able to be added to Apple Pay's wallet, my educated guess is if a person has an iPhone and a credit card, they are using it through Apple Pay most of the time. Even meal voucher cards are now able to be added to Apple Pay's wallet.

I don't have statistics readily available, but you can search for CADE's (Brazilian fair trade regulator) inquiry 08700.002893/2025-17 on Apple's refusal to support Pix on Apple Pay and comb through the documents.

> many scenarios where the only option was to pay with PIX

I guess you want to say "only option _beyond cash_ was Pix". Most places should accept Passport ID to replace CPF. But if you found hard to pay using credit cards, that has nothing to do with Pix...

I followed with this rationale in a small project and opted for PostgreSQL pub/sub instead Redis. But I went through so much trouble correctly handling PostgreSQL disconnections that I wonder if Redis wouldn't be the better choice.
