There's also a CLA with full copyright assignment, so yeah, I'd steer clear of that one: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/blob/main/CLA.md

What do you mean by 'manage?' In your mind, what are you planning to do in the future that you need my full copyright as a change owner?
Re:MinIO is now in maintenance-mode

Then it's not the CLA that ensures project survivability. It's the strong core team you mentioned.

That doesn't require full copyright assignment, though, right?

In the context of code, where review bandwidth is the bottleneck, I think it's spot on. In the arts, comparatively -- be they writing, drawing, or music -- you can feel almost at a glance that something is off. There's a bit of a vibe check thing going on, and if that doesn't pass, it's back to the drawing board. You don't inherit technical debt like you do with code.

I do the same. Case in point: I started to follow someone's blog because of their technical achievements, then I realized I don't like their political views _at all_, but I keep them on the list mostly to keep myself on my toes.

If you think of it as 'a implements b', it makes sense for both lifetimes and (other) subtypes: If lifetime `a` implements `b`, it is obviously valid for `b` (and maybe longer).

Why is it okay to drop not-full chunks? The article doesn't explain that and I'm stupid.
Edit: I just realized that the function where non-full chunks are dropped is just the one for finding the pivot, not the one for finding the median. I understand now.

Re:The Greatest Educational Life Hack: Learning Math Ahead of Time

Don't get me wrong, the grammar is definitely easy to understand, but IMHO that's just another point for the 'learn early in life, or struggle' opinion. Adults have a much easier time with more complicated grammatical rules (hi, German!) or even rules with lots of exceptions (hello, Russian!). But having to remember how to spell and pronounce every other word is akin to hell for an adult. (I'm already struggling with it while learning Russian.)
Still doesn't hold a candle to Mandarin or Japanese, of course. These guys are just on a level of their own. :)
