Thanks! Maintainer of MOTIS here. We're planning to bring support for NeTEx, SIRI and OJP to MOTIS and with those formats a lot of features that are only available with those formats but not with GTFS(-RT) (yet). But having them implemented will also help us to quickly activate them for GTFS(-RT) once GTFS(-RT) gains support.

Regarding the size I would guess that if htmz would be extended to have the same features as htmx, it would also be similar in size? Would it make sense to modularize htmx in order to only pay for what you really use to support adding features without necessarily increasing the downloaded size?

Let's assume, Hetzner or OVH themself would just take Ubicloud and offer this as a service without paying any money to Ubicloud. In this case, many customers would just use the Hetzner/OVH offer (everything from the same vendor = more convenient) and Ubicloud has no way to make money. The AGPL license would not prevent IaaS providers from doing so. I think it's not easy to build a stable business as a company if everything is OpenSource. If Ubicloud would be a pure community project, that would be a different story.

Even with if the third party provider makes no improvements, they can still provide it cheaper because ubicloud pays the development costs? This is a business threat that would not be mitigated by AGPL-3.0?

I presented about MOTIS Project. Happy to share with you all the all the algorithmic details, our tech stack, etc, if you're interested. In the talk I just wanted to give a broad overview of what is MOTIS. I think it's really hard to explain data model, tech stack, or algorithms in depth in the time I had for my talk (10min).

When reading the title I thought that it is about complexity of linear search vs. better alternatives like hash sets/maps, or at least sorted data structures (binary search).

But if having linear complexity is fine, std::find_if/any_of/none_of/all_of/etc. are of course fine and you should prefer the version that's most expressive.

Maybe your content is against the rules of YouTube or you want to have a custom paywall for your premium content. Maybe you just don't want Google to collect data about your users. You will be in trouble when Google cancels your account without prior notice.

I don't think that the main purpose of AppImage and containers is to hide technical debt. Being able to package an application 1x to run on many Linux distributions is a huge plus - notably if you don't want to waste resources supporting Ubuntu, RHEL, Gentoo, Arch, etc. by maintaing a separate package for each and every Linux package manager out there.

The same is true for Docker: having a consistent environment is just very useful.
