This doesn't seem like hindering anything. There's no legal block, there's no stopping you from RTFM and following the steps, it's not as if the author is even hiding the steps.

Paying for convenience isn't a hinderance. You just want the convenience at zero price.

I'd like to know more about your setup.

We're a small startup building infrastructure for developers. We do address problems like what you describe: enforcement of the exact library version requirements for each codebase, reduction of artifact egress costs, integration into the Jenkins workflow as well as into IDE for devs and QA, and more.

We've been looking for game devs who'd be interested in what we're doing. Please reach out if you're interested.

Windows and Mac support is much better these days.

However, the case insensitive file system in Windows makes it annoying to use with *nix systems.

I do this in two steps:

1. An "stignore.txt" at the root of a shared directory. This gets automatically synced to every device.

2. "#include stignore.txt" in '.stignore' that I need to manually write on every new device.

He's suggesting that, but it is extremely unlikely that he didn't know. Oh? Is there any evidence to back up that claim?

Sounds like the journalists are doing their job. Sounds like the death of investigative journalism.

Unless you want to claim that Google is now a tool of the Government (A), then your point of censorship and free speech are moot.

(A): This extraordinary claim would require extraordinary evidence.

Why are we still falling for this crap?

We fall for this because a subset of us has been provoked to point out the obvious flaw in the headline or the summary and another subset has been provoked into defending the part that isn't flawed.

I alternated between feeling like this was a question worth answering and feeling like a dick for answering this with your own words.

This is exactly what we're doing at my startup. The vision is to let anyone check out any repository and just run one command that works irrespective of the actual build tool to compile those sources in the right environment and get you binaries in the end.

One of my all time favorites has been the Jefferey Mogul paper on Receive Livelock: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2008/readings/mogul96usenix...

I read it first as a normal CS paper, but later started seeing it as a commentary on an extremely busy work life.

Right there in the first paragraph: "... receive livelock, in which the system spends all its time processing interrupts, to the exclusion of other tasks..."

Does this remind you of anything?
