But Homebrew wasn't (and isn't) better than MacPorts, either.

They both work well (we can and do quibble about the internal mechanics of each), and appeal to different groups of people.

My theory is that Homebrew was announced at exactly the right time in the MacOS adoption curve. A huge number of new users arrived with no existing knowledge of MacPorts or Fink. Most of them didn't know they needed a package manager at first, but when the momentum picked up, Homebrew was the new option with a better web page, a more collaborative working model, and hosted at GitHub (also ascendant).

I'd also argue that similar factors were involved in Linux's popularity over BSD in the 1990s.

Timing, environment, adequacy, and luck. All are required. Superiority is not.
Worth noting that this doesn't actually affect the behaviour of a single user at this point in time.

> Thanks, Matt, that's great to see. Note that that's the effect of the change in comment 37, which only affects Android. The desktop change is blocked on a planned experiment in M88. A wide rollout probably won't happen until late February or early March, at which point we expect an additional reduction in root traffic. [0]

They were doing the DNS interception check on Android, but a different path of code was actually doing the checks (in a different way). Android was basically sending out useless requests.

Let me know when Republicans start getting blocked for their political philosophy rooted in evidence and opinion, and I'll start being concerned.

As long as people of any party regurgitate lies about election results against all evidence, and those lies seem to be fomenting violence, I'm leaning towards "it's okay" to remove them from certain sites.

I disagree the big platforms should be common carriers. I think ISPs and datacenters should be.

Demanding is a spectrum. There is the request, which is a humble suggestion, something of no consequence. But if you are heavily invested already in a project (e.g. your life in some way depends on it, note I’m not saying workflow because it doesn’t need to be work), it is in both parties’ interests for that weight to be communicated somehow. In the extreme case that might be, “I am going to have to stop using this application if X is not changed.” As a project maintainer, that’s a good thing to know since for every comment there are probably at least 10 silent participants with the same view.
If you’re investing in an SPAC, you should know this already. Everything is transparent, so I don’t see what the loophole is, or who or how anyone is getting bamboozled?

Company wants to go public with higher guarantee of price, they go with SPAC. Investor wants higher return, they invest in SPAC, but there is no higher return without higher risk.
Not everyone agrees with any given central authority. In religion especially this is often over relatively complex reasons that outsiders probably aren't in a position to try and navigate. You need only to refer to religious history and it's many wars to see this: the tri-part nature of Christ, the exact date of Easter, the shaving of heads in early English history, etc.

Nor should we start allowing the Church of England to press Google into service putting it's agenda forward. We recognize that dissent is an important part of free speech!

This stuff could all be false flag on the US side.

We worked on this stuff for so long and have so much experience with ballistic missiles it's probably pointless as the article said.

For all anyone knows the X-37 is fully operational with orbital ballistic weapons that would greatly outclass hypersonic missiles. Weapons accelerated from orbit would be very fast, require way less energy, be smaller so it could be holding more of them than we realize, give a target far less warning & time to react.

All the research stuff could be a smokescreen. It's been hanging around in orbit for more than a decade cloaked in mystery.
Good site! Starts off on a rather high level, but also features detailed step-by-step instructions for accomplishing certain tasks. Well done, whoever made it!
Perhaps it’s because I play games I expect to be more realistic in nature. When I complain about resolution I’m not talking about beat saber.

I never really feel fully submerged in VR. I blame that on a few things:

1. Resolution. This is the big one for me.

2. Headset. The weight, fogging up (like you mentioned), the fact that I can still tell it’s there.

3. Sound (you mentioned part of this). Sound is important for full submerging.
It's definitely true that AWS customers spend more than Godaddy customers, for sure. But I still reject the idea that you have to use AWS (or will in the near future). There are literally hundreds of hosting providers out there, thousands if you include places that will run your own hardware. In my own career only half of my jobs have depended on AWS in any capacity; the rest used other hosting providers or self hosted.

In a very real way, a founder today has more options for hosting than they do for catered lunch.
I think it's probably fair that when this is all presumably past, we'll conclude that some of the measures that we took and that many feel very strongly about weren't super-effective. (And a lot of it boils down to dumb luck.) On the other hand, there have been mitigating measures to some degree in most places so I can't seriously argue that we should have just have said "screw it. Let's just pretend that everything's normal." and act accordingly.
I wouldn't call it vanity; it's too harsh and unfair. It paints people who are enthusiastic about their accomplishments in a negative light. People shouldn't be ashamed to be proud of their honest work.

Showcasing isn't essential, but it can increase the enjoyment and it can benefit the others. That's why we have art galleries, trade fairs, talent shows, and Show HN threads.

I specifically asked about how "They need sincere search engines, that's all." What exactly content creators should do about it? Make their own, sacrificing time from their main hobby? Maybe one already exists. But then they need to tell their potential fans about it. How would they contact them? They might not even be aware they exist. I guess they could wait until the new sincere search engine reaches critical mass. But what until then?

As for the "wide audience", consider this. At one point in their lives, fans were part of the wide audience. They weren't born fans; they became them over time. So why shouldn't the content creators try to capture new fans from the larger audience? They don't have to - becoming too mainstream is a thing after all. But if they choose to do so, why not? Unless you oppose the creators growing their fans and popularity, in which case I don't know what to say.

It's very interesting that you can use such a feature to triangulate a location, I never thought of that.

I discovered a "secure" and "private" dating app, that just sent the location of the users directly through the API, and then it was up to the clients to do the calculation: http://kaspergrubbe.com/teazr-a-secure-dating-app-with-secur...

What about hypersonic anti-ship missiles? I guess generally speaking, missiles against moving targets. Perhaps that's useful? US Navy sure seems concerned about those being deployed by China.

That said, ballistic missiles can actually maneuver quite a bit during the terminal.

Also, I always understood that the very impossibility of confusing them with ballistic missiles headed for Moscow was the decisive feature.

I think the softwre side answers are there, just pump more high quality information in faster and it's easily solved. The problem is i just punts it to hardware. Both the lenovo product and hololens have absymal fovs and resolution but you can at least look to the real world great. Otoh normal headsets can display the virtual world in great detail and double the fov but not only is it taxing on the hardware to do so you need to bring in the real world insted. In either scenario you get pretty bad tradeoffs at this point, and I've tried both approaches for quite a while.
Article makes the case for exoatmospheric ballistic missiles as a superior technology based on lack of drag. For intercontinental ranges, the argument probably holds. For short and medium ranges, particularly air-to-ship and ship-to-ship, the advantage of hypersonic trajectories becomes apparent in that there is very little time from launch to impact and very little time for interception / countermeasures.

TLDR: This seems to be about boost-glide vehicles, where the real action is in really fast conventional missiles like these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3M22_Zircon.
I agree. Is Brew perfect? No, far from it. But I think that given the tools available at the time, Brew is the right balance between technically good and being really easy to use. The dependence on git means speed isn't great, especially if you don't use it often, but it keeps things simple and maintainable. I also think it's been fantastic to see the level of support from the community and the efforts of the maintainers. For example, merging Linuxbrew back into Homebrew itself.

Honestly I can't imagine using my mac without Brew.

Someone replied to my claim that it's a font earlier with a link to the original. It definitely is still a font, but apparently there is an original Russian document.
> There, I said it.

What a waste of bytes and bandwidth. "[homebrew] It’s the worst package manager I’ve used" is true for all users that have only used one package manager. The opposite claim ("it's the best I've used") would simultaneously be true.

You could at least have mentioned _why_ and that could have kickstarted a meaningful discussion, but instead your comment is the equivalent on a thumbs down in a youtube video.
I get that. The question is whether there are the same high levels on all foods, or there is something very wrong on baby food pipelines only. And which food types are the most affected, which I didn't manage to understand from a cursory look at the document.
You’ve got this completely backwards. Short sellers by definition have massive implications. And worse, they have limited upside and theoretically unlimited downside. Unlike the bulls who have limited downside and unlimited upside.

And that’s before we get to the fact that the markets are rigged against short sellers (e.g., there are circuit breakers that pause trading activity when prices are plummeting. There is no such circuit breaker when prices are rising steeply). There’s also massive information transparency issues. Pretty much everyone who is charged with making private company information public has extremely significant financial incentives to skew that information to be as positive as possible.
That looks perfect.
What does the phrase "ploughsare-type filtration of techniques into the private sector" mean?
I started my career in an aerospace parts company, what they made was fairly unique globally (and through various acquisitions they had no real domestic competition in the US, which guaranteed them many contracts). Many of my colleagues could not understand how the company was so well off when our products were being sold so cheap. I had to remind them that everything we made had a 5-10 year mandatory refresh cycle and no commercial, and few military, aircraft operators were going to manage that on their own (actually testing the LRUs and sensors, refurbing them, and replacing them). Everything came back to us for a guaranteed income stream over 20-100 years, depending on the expected life of the aircraft.

If you can swing a DOD or DOD-adjacent supply contract for an aircraft, you're probably set for life.
I used MacPorts before hombrew. Homebrew "just worked", MacPorts sucked.

Maybe I was too dumb to use MacPorts, but all other MacPort used I knew back then all moved to homebrew very quickly.

Given the moving nature of the OSX toolchain and directory structure, having your third party package manager integrated into the system toolchain increasingly feels like a bad idea.

It doesn't lesson the problem if this is to be expected from our farm practices. The title of the report says "Tainted with Dangerous Levels", so we have a problem or congress is being unnecessarily political.

If nothing else it is evidence of a societal issue that has pushed mothers away from breast feeding (where presumably the human body is able to filter background levels of heavy metals) towards consumer products harvested with no evidence for quality controls.
Then `HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE` is probably for you.

Going to add to this.

A jury of ones 'peers' is rarely the case either. Yes, they are citizens, but they are rarely of the same background, ethnicity, or social status. They are hand selected by lawyers to remove people that might be sympathetic to your plight.

I've never heard that jurors are the best and brightest among us. Often the highly educated and analytical are removed from jury pool.
> England should be able to declare whether a given group of people are members of the Church of England (organization). Wherever a centralized authority exists, that authority should have the power to declare whether or not someone is a member of the organization. The Catholic church should absolutely be able to declare some rogue sect that claims to be Catholic "unCatholic".

They should have the power to declare whether or not they consider someone to be a member of an organization. Nothing more. This goes beyond simply declaring whether or not they consider Ahmadis to be Muslims. The Pakistani government is using "anti-blasphemy" laws to silence anyone who objects to their declaration.
Eh, not sure how the word "Russian" ended up in that comment. It was an American design before it was a Russian one.[1] Plus, there was an added feature in some American plans I've read about (but can't immediately locate) of long-term loitering over adversarial territory and discharge of radioactive material.

What would it matter if it were hypersonic?

Do that many people hate the Outlook calendar? I like it (maybe a bit less in OWA, but honestly it's pretty much the same). Appointments show up, meeting rooms are pre-populated, I can see when other people are busy when writing an invite and move the meeting (or reconsider if it needs to happen at all). Oh, and when people email me invites they show up in my calendar, which doesn't work nearly as well when your calendar can't see your mailbox. Google Calendar is also fine (if a bit less comfortable).

It's not a task list, but that's a problem for Trello or something, not a calendar. (Outlook has a task list, but I'm not a big fan of it). Anything that doesn't involve meeting with other people or me being in a different location for a period of time doesn't go in a calendar. If I need to block to do deep work, I can just put a big block on the calendar and go to the task list to figure out what I need to do (and the task list probably has some sort of prioritization, anyway).

We need better productivity apps, but the calendar seems like a solved problem (unless I'm desperately out of touch and everyone hates Outlook/GCal).

Is it ok to sell weapons of war to a country engaging in ethnic cleansing, and if not - why not?

After all, the country is allowed to decide it's own rules and laws. If it decides ethnic cleansing is allowable, we should follow that right?

Of course not! Just because a country decides some action is legal doesn't make it moral or ethical - and knowingly aiding an unethical act is itself unethical! We do and should absolutely shun and punish countries engaging in things like ethnic cleansing - even if they're assisting a country that has deemed it legal.

A month is too long of a span. I think optimizing the next week, or next 3 days, is much more concrete and beneficial.

Chrome, or at least it's rendering engine, has won the World Wide Web. It was able to do this because the company that was the best at monetizing every last packet decided it wanted to own that last endpoint as well.

HTTP is a lost cause. At this point we need new protocols that are designed to be impossible to monetize. From there new browsers can be built. It'll never get to be as big as the WWW, but I think sub-Internets are the best way to ensure the spirit and creativity of the early WWW lives on.

You're not being sent to deal with people who are more or less physically healthy though, or who aren't already agitated in a threatening way.

I never believed in VR as a mainstream thing but AR keeps me curious. There's a Hololens demo on youtube that shows a bunch of virtual monitors of arbitrary size and shape floating around the user. That's potentially awesome. Think the desktop "windows" concepts but with virtual monitors, 3D UI elements where useful. This could have potential. I'd say the technology to make it workable as something you wanna wear for 8 hours a day still isn't there yet, though, and probably won't be until some major breakthrough. It's not just resolution, it's battery, contrast, size... I don't see anything I'd personally want to use with current or next-year tech.

Uhh so the author is saying that missiles designed to go faster will actually be slower because of drag? Is there a source on that claim or is it just speculation?

Right now it kind of seems like every IPO does happen this way. There's kind of a SPAC mania going on. I can name at least 5 companies that are going public through SPACs, and two more that are rumored to be doing the same soon (Virgin Orbit and Lucid Motors).
I think specialized use cases are an absolute hit on VR devices. Where else can you get consumer priced hardware that you can create a completely custom tuned to the user version without needing custom hardware? That being said I never did manage to find a customized version that was more efficient for the common use case, after all monitors/books/phone screens are already the customized optimized consumer hardware for most people.
I think the mods have to enable it for their sub.
