I'm comparing to macports. I remember a brew update that removed an old version of openssl causing all of my older ruby packages to fail. Now I would definitely not use ruby 1.9.x in production but I sometimes do have to be able to run locally antique codebases that haven't been used in a long time. I was caught off guard because a simple install of an unrelated application with homebrew destroyed a big part of my work flow.

Macports never did this and kept libraries side by side cleanly.

Now, this is from the point of view of a software developer with a specific niche requirement. For normal users, from a security standpoint, it would most likely make sense to remove old versions of openssl.
My (limited) experience debugging Typescript/Node, Typescript/Browser, PHP using IntelliJ and Docker has been pretty much like this:

1. Open a port on the container for debugging

2. Tell the debugger in the container what's the port it should use (if you're not using the default one)

3. Tell the IDE what port it can use to connect to the debugger (if you're not using the default).

4. Debug it!

For things like Typescript you might need some extra trickery because it's all transpiled, so you'll need to make sure your sourcemaps are set up correctly, but that's not overly difficult.

It did take me several hours to work everything out and write a README so that every time we get a new hire / someone sets up a new PC they can just follow the instructions. I'd say it was time well spent.

> I feel like it's not too much effort to swing by someone's office and have a discussion with them

Well there is a modern trend that's supposed to help with this too: open plan offices. No need to swing by their office, they're already right there (this has indeed been my working environment for most of my career).

It's all a bit different at the moment of course, but my team regularly video calls each other to discuss things that would take too long over text.
Seconded, port select is great as is port variant.
I just thought that it would be nice to have a site like "You Might Not Need Jquery" (http://youmightnotneedjquery.com), but one that helps to find alternatives to Flash features.
"Various applied aspects of the problem of psychological
influence have been widely studied in psychology
abroad. Every year, a large quantity of works is pub-
lished on the issues of persuasion, suggestion, and
placing psychological pressure on people in various
situations. Recently, it has been observed that Soviet
scholars have increased their interest in this problem.
A significant number of books have appeared in which
directly or indirectly, issues of psychological influence are covered. The problems of educational, managerial and propaganda influence have been studied. "

Aka marketing and corps use the same tricks as ABC agents trying to get you to act in their interest, against your own best interest. Without any exaggeration.

My marketing class was more brutal than this - turn on some music so that individuals lose track of time and become more impulsive, turn on music that alienates "undesirables" loitering around the store, lightning to make clothing look most appealing in the mirror, form rapport as a salesperson so the customer feels like they are declining a close friend once they walk away from a sale. Etc.

You mean SQL Proxy available on the VM/container where the application runs and application connecting locally to the proxy?

I can see how it sometimes may make the application simpler and maybe, potentially, how you can have single proxy to serve multiple tenants (containers with applications) so that they maybe don't have to keep their own pools of connections.

The services would talk to each other locally and use the proxy to talk to the database using single connection pool.

But I don't see how this couldn't be as effective with TCP loopback (which actually is hacked to not invoke any TCP).

Granted, domain sockets are bit faster than localhost (https://redis.io/topics/benchmarks) but if this makes difference for your application you are likely using wrong architecture.

I've been exploring a bit what an early-primary "atoms up" learning progression variant might look like, if it emphasized atoms as nuclei. I've needed some nucleosynthesis, and stars and stuff swirling 'round the galaxy in deep time, but not much stellar evolution. Not that you couldn't teach it, but it doesn't seem required here.

Hazen's mineral evolution story was made into a NOVA. Some years back, before the NOVA, it had anecdotally been used down to high-school, but he didn't know of any attempts at middle or primary school. But it seems the usual science education dynamic is no one trying, or doing a miserable job of it, rather than hitting a rigid accessibility envelope.

The cluefulness cost space can be surprisingly shaped. Teach a 5-year old that sunlight is white, and so is the Sun, and after that second bit, they're already less confused there than most first-tier astronomy and physical sciences graduate students. I suggest we've little idea yet how early much of science might be taught, because we've been half-assing it.

In the case of Swift, they actually took this advice to heart - and hired Max to help them do it.

That said, it remains disappointing to me that unless you're producing content with Apple's hardware or building apps for the Stores, they don't really do much to help you.

For example, if you're writing client or server-side web code, they will acknowledge your existence, and are more than willing to sell you a Mac, but that's about it.

^ This doesn't even get into the concerns around all of the supporting pieces that go along with this code - e.g, documentation, training materials, and outreach - the tooling for this part of the process is voluminous in its own right.

The real life data we have is not obviously indicative of racism. Men are more than 10X more likely to be shot by police than women. Asians are less likely to be shot by police than whites. This doesn't prove police are sexist against men, or racially biased in favor of Asians.

If not fighting counts as being a warrior then the whole idea collapses as that’s what the vast majority of people spend their time not doing.

You are right, certainly there could be a fit, but finding the right place for someone implies that the hiring decision has already been made.

For me, it sounds like he applied for a standard software developer job through the standard process. Would you hire someone as a software developer without knowing the basics?

From that resume, I would see him rather in a product owner role or some other full or semi-management position.
The service you are complaining about provides optional food and shelter instead of arresting homeless people. What's wrong with that?
I've seen a reluctance to move from Java 8 because of the issues upgrading past Jigsaw (e.g. the build I'm working on today bleeds warnings about groovy doing illegal reflective access - and that's just a cosmetic issue) and so many shops decided to wait until the "LTS" Java 11 came along to make the jump.

Now that they're there and with the memory of the upgrade pain there's reluctance to upgrade again before Java 17. I think once they do that and see a much more normal upgrade path for that leap they'll be a lot more willing to track all the releases and not just the LTS ones (real or not it's perceived as being a thing).

Apple TV is about the only recent vertical I can think of where Apple hasn't outpaced its competitors in recent years, and even there it's UI is appreciably better than the competition, pricing and incredibly stupid remote being its downfall.

Because there are lenses in the headset that focus the two images at a set focal distant (between a couple of meters and infinity focus, depending on the headset).

You need glasses for the same reason one would need glasses to see a flat image several meters aways, or to see the stars as the case may be.
You probably haven't followed Tor development in the past years. obfs4 and snowflake a really cool circumvention methods that are orders of magnitude harder to detect and block than these "signal" TLS proxies.

The TLS proxy signal just advertised uses plaintext TLS SNI header to determine where to route the packets, which makes it really trivial to detect and/or block. The same cannot be said about tor.
There is plenty of paid correct info out there. You just need to look in the field of data that you're interested in.

I'm pretty sure the days of a general data encyclopedia are past us. The amount of data to gather to make it useful is going to insanely expensive, and will in general be available from many sources for free, thereby decreasing its value.
So it's up to Google and other international companies to decide which laws are diabolical, which laws are bad and which can be tolerable? Why not going all the way down and let those companies write beautiful laws and also enforce them, everywhere in the world?

Meanwhile providing money for no reason to Homebrew wouldn't make business sense. As far Apple is concerned, Homebrew works, and providing financial support wouldn't make it work better.

This is idiotic.
Slactivism is fun when you can use it to enhance your social capital, but doing the actual work is a chore.

Nowadays, most Western countries with anti-blasphemy laws on the books still have those laws precisely because they are never enforced. If they were enforced, there would be an outcry sufficient to have them immediately overturned.

It is like how the monarch in many a constitutional monarchy today technically still has power, but any actual attempt to use that power would probably lead to the end of that monarchy, at least in its current structure.
Google allowed side loading these apps, right? At least for now?
I don't get this either. It's a weird trend and goes against some fundamental rules. There is a text width and font size that is comfortably readable. It's essentially a bug!
Yes, data from real cases has significant advantages over a controlled experiment using simulations, but also significant disadvantages.

Still, a 25 times lower likelihood of shooting a suspect if they are black in the simulation-based experiment..

That is entirely corroborated by what common sense would predict given the backlash a typical police officer would expect in the event that they shoot and kill a black suspect versus a white one.

That's funny[0]. I'm not American, so don't pull the white guilt card on me.

I've spent a total of 12 days in the US in my life, and I was pointed a gun by the police once. That's infinity percent more than in any other country I've lived visited or lived in, and I've traveled my fair share off the beaten path.

When they saw their mistake, they spouted the generic excuse that I matched a description, something that wouldn't fly in any other first world country, but is somehow accepted in the US.

Anyway, I'm white and I did nothing wrong, so I guess that officer just pointed that gun as joke with no intention to kill,[1] right?

US police kills citizens at a rate seen only in developing countries. According to the wiki[2], US police kills 10 times as often per capita as the worst European offender of significant population (France), and ranks higher than places like Angola, Colombia or Rwanda, that have insanely higher crime rates. Let that sink in, and think whether the problem is race based or not.

But don't worry, Biden won, the rates will remain the same but it will no longer be an issue worth being reported in the media ;)

>Ruffle is in the proof-of-concept stage and can currently run early Flash animations and games.

Yeah. Just like the 10,000 other Flash implementations. The problem is that SWF is very complex format and relies on proprietary codecs. Also, there are multiple runtimes to support. Like all attempts before it, simple cases will be covered but anything slightly more complicated will never work.
When do we get to install brew without sudo?
I was about to comment with a similar anecdote. Situations will be different depending on the psychiatric facilities, but there are some, usually the most expensive ones (and being expensive is not at all an indicator of being a good one), in which some physicians have no issue keeping people in there as long as there is money to be drained from the family. Worse, the psychiatric state of the patient has not necessarily improved during that costly stay.
At which point said phone is no longer available for purchase in Pakistan.

This attitude pervades tech-inclined folk's discussions of politics, as if the Internet is somehow above the laws and culture of the places where it operates, especially with regard to the global south. Just because you either don't comprehend or don't respect a given culture enough to learn about it, doesn't mean it no longer applies to you.

I of course disagree with what's happening here, but nothing Pakistan is doing here is illegal or surprising.

I love this analogy. I enjoy programming as a hobby and as a result, I like taking my time creating a product that I enjoy using.

My garden is currently 2 open-source projects focused on developer efficiency and ease of use.

dev-utils:
A simple publicly facing website (that can be run locally) that can do simple encoding, decoding, hashing, pretty printing, etc. All of these are performed using javascript so data is exfiltrated to third-parties. I found that I was using utilities online and I did not trust them so I decided to make my own. You can find the website here: https://utils.andrewcopeland.dev/

zk:
A simple not taking application that is written 100% in bash. It follows the zettelkasten note taking method which implements small notes that can be linked together. All notes are written in markdown files and can be auto-synced to a public or private github. You can find the project here: https://github.com/AndrewCopeland/zettelkasten

I only water these projects when I need to and I have no intent on commercializing them. I water them because I like them not because I want to monetize them.

It's true of C# as well. Implementing the full suite of performance tricks precludes object-oriented techniques every bit as much as it precludes functional techniques, because the fastest possible code path is rarely going to wander through a vtable.

I suppose, though, that it's always easier to throw a baby out with the bathwater when it's someone else's baby.

I can easily imagine ways that wikipedia could be better, but the reality is that compared to any other online resource, it is the best. I wish it were less political sometimes, but when I look at any other online resource, they are way more polarized. Periodically I read something (usually in HN) about wikipedia controversy, and I admit to some trepidation about their ability to stay objective as they have become so widely consulted (i.e. powerful), but if compared to any other real-world existing resource, given the current state of the internet, actually they are often by far the best.

Are you seriously arguing that teaching minimum wage parents who live from hand to mouth "financial literacy" would allow them to invest savings for their newborn?

I don't know that I've ever seen anything strictly _wrong_ in an article about mathematics, but I've certainly seen articles giving equations without defining what any of the variables are and using using very field-specific notation without defining or referencing it, making them impossible to read unless you know enough about the topic to reverse-engineer what they're talking about.

And I'm not talking something like using a Dirac delta without referencing it; I'm talking about pretty esoteric notation that is really only relevant to the topic of the article.

And of course plenty of the math articles are just not very coherently written (and yes, plenty are quite good).
