So, the browsers have to provide some means for choosing the desired translation engine (add-on API maybe?) and this is a standard API which all of the providers should implement.

right?

Well, jj is actually very nice in this regard, because:

1. it works on top of git — you keep using all the same infrastructure (GitHub, etc.) 2. in your local repositories you still have access to git-tools, as jj maintains git and its own states in sync.

After all of these months with jj I still find myself using GitUp when I need to review a long chain of commits or do some quick repo-archeology. And, from time to time, I even use Idea's merge tools because their "magic wand" saves a lot of time.

I mentioned this in the first part of series

Important part of caddy’s configuration are their defaults. For example TLS and automatic certificates are on by default. It covers the most useful use case by default.

Ferron is different.

Is that a choice or just something you didn’t work on yet?

It’s usually the difference between having a low-level api and high-level api. iOS gives a lot “for free”.

Creating stuff from scratch is not a fun experience

But logs are stored on IRC as well. It’s not a part of standard protocol, but a lot of ir c-servers can do that automatically and there are boys which do that not to mention personal archives. The difference is that end-users don’t have easy access to this logs. And on discord they do (because it is a part of protocol)

No one is supposed to. It goes like this: 1. DMCA request (take them down, they use our copyrighted stuff!), 2. opposition (no, we do not agree! Do not take us down), 3. the process with lawyers and judges starts

An expectation is that “wrongdoers” just do not bother to oppose and everything works faster.

Then there are corporate policies which make this weirder (like YouTube who says: “if people send too many dmca request towards you, we chose not to see you as a customer”. But this has nothing to do with law)

Why do I need service workers as standalone programs on the backend? What am I missing by not running them? Looks like another way to run server app

Fair question
