The most common reason is that a quick manual step is needed before publishing. Nothing malicious. Often it is just removing paths used during dev from Cargo.toml. Should it be automated? Sure, but that is extra work.
I agree that position is nonesense. I mean, the single best defense against supply chain attacks is to bring everything in house. Is that reasonable? No…
Help normalize saying no? As an OSS maintainer, the sense of entitlement many have is quite frustrating. After years in OSS, I have built up a thick skin and am fine saying no, but many aren't.
You are very confidently incorrect. So incorrect, it is hard to even start correcting you.
* Inflation is not caused by "putting your money somewhere" What on earth.
* At a high level, inflation is caused by either "too much money chasing too few goods" and/or the cost of producing the goods rising. Money supply can increase without causing inflation if the supply of goods can also increase. In short, the supply of money can increase without causing inflation if productivity rises to match it.
* Most people do not "put money" in loans what are you even talking about there?
* Bank loans do not automatically increase the supply of money. When a loan is taken out, it is (mostly) deposited to another bank, resulting in a net-zero change in money. Increasing the supply of money requires the federal reserve to take steps.
> In short, the supply of money can increase without causing inflation if productivity rises to match it.
You're actually agreeing with me. Money supply must be backed up by real wealth and production.
That's not how things work in current times. We have nearly zero interest rates, and currencies are backed up by literally nothing.
> Most people do not "put money" in loans what are you even talking about there?
Fractional reserve banking. Banks loan out the cash you deposit. They "efficiently allocate" the money in their custody.
> Inflation is not caused by "putting your money somewhere" What on earth.
It absolutely is. Banks can easily turn thousands of dollars into hundreds of thousands of dollars by repeatedly loaning out the exact same dollars numerous times.
It's some kind of society wide financial call stack. Too many defaults and everything starts unwinding.
> Bank loans do not automatically increase the supply of money.
Obviously they do.
Imagine you deposit $100 at your bank. It takes your $100 and loans out $90 of it to someone else. There are now $190 dollars in circulation.
Whoever took the loan goes off and spends it. Eventually it gets deposited back into a bank. Then the bank loans out $81 out of that $90. There are now $271 dollars in circulation.
And it keeps going.
You can inflate bitcoin via this algorithm.

Irrelevant. Banks form interconnected systems. They all settle debts and accounts with each other.
> Increasing the supply of money requires the federal reserve to take steps.
The physical supply of money is irrelevant. It contributes only a small fraction of the circulating money supply. Money is numbers in bank databases now. They could run the money printers 24/7 and they'd never even come close to catching up to the inflation caused by banks.
I doubt it. Eating healthy is already cheap and easy (rice & legumes as a base, fresh or frozen veggies based on what is cheapest at the time). It just doesn’t taste as good and gets boring fast.
I respect that some prefer just to use SQL, but that isn't where most stand.
Also, instead of a reactionary "all ORMs are trash," where ORM probably means different things to different people, maybe you could provide some value to the conversation by providing specific points and/or arguments supporting your feelings about ORMs. At the very least, you could provide some citation to an article that does the summarization.
Canada and the UK (among others) have toyed with these kind of "use it or lose it" penalties for unnecessary empty premises. I think they're a great idea, but they don't seem popular, maybe because the benefits are spread widely while the costs are paid by relatively few, but politically powerful, landowners.
IMO corporate ownership isn't bad as corporations rent housing to individuals who can't afford mortgages. Let's say corporations are 100% banned from the housing market. 85% of Americans cannot qualify for a mortgage, where would they live?
