> 5901 packages in homebrew-core versus about 11000 ports in MacPorts (not counting subports).

Good to know that it is still actually bigger, but that’s really only relevant to me if it’s a superset of Homebrew’s registry, and in the past I have found packages I needed that were in Homebrew but not MacPorts. If I had to guess I would bet MacPorts has a lot of older stuff in it.

> Package freshness depends on contributions.

Of course, I understand this. It’s the main reason I have to use Homebrew. I don’t want to have to maintain my own packages.

> If you need to manage proprietary and/or binary GUI apps with a package manager, you could still use Homebrew casks for that and MacPorts for everything else.

This is what I mean about being ideological. What benefit do I get from installing two different package managers when one would suffice? It’s definitely not enough to merit doing so.
Or you talked to different people. My impression is that frame.io is interesting for marketing agencies and freelancers collaborating (on an ad for instance) and not for people who make movies.
Guess one of my companies or the recipients should have made news articles about it throughout the last decade

A while back I built an ad/not-an-ad classifier for TV frames based purely on pixels (i.e. not prior knowledge of specific ads). One of the interesting findings -- perhaps obvious in retrospect -- was that ad frames were on average brighter than content frames.
Established landlords have friends on the local council, and can determine who gets a building permit. Prices are set by the two or three biggest players, who all know each other. That stuff happens all the time.
I am reasonable enough to see truth in both sides of this argument. Not bad.

With flat currency it is possible to have a well-designed banking system with mechanisms for boring human pen-and-paper recourse in case of fraud. El Salvador probably doesn't have one, but they can create one. With Bitcoin, they cannot, by design.
You cherry-picked a few things where VSCode has some extension support, but I can assure you that the differences are huge.

> The latter is "Rename symbol",

No, I'm talking about linter warnings providing smart fixes, which overall are not provided by the Go plugin, and is a mixed bag with other languages. GoLand has tons of fixes for things like unused arguments, inconsistent receiver names, incorrect spelling, and so on. And the fixes are previewed before they are applied.

But let's look at "Rename symbol". As an example of how primitive VSCode is, consider this in Go. If the rename doesn't work — for example, because it results in a conflict with an existing name in some file — it will just abort; it's all or nothing. GoLand, meanwhile, allows you to inspect the refactor preview and tweak the places where there are problems, before you apply the whole thing.

VSCode also has no awareness of implementations. If you try to rename, in IDEA, a method implemented from an interface, it will suggest altering all implementations, including the interface it came from. IDEA even goes further and will pick up strings that look related, such as in mocks, debug strings, comments, and so on.

> [Git support]

I have used GitLens, but the experience is vastly inferior to IDEA's. With GitLens, you have to compare the entire working tree (by selecting both versions to compare), which gets shown as a (not live!) snapshot in the left sidebar. You then have to click the file to compare. In IDEA, you simply select "Compare with Branch...", "Compare with Revision..." or any of the many other comparison methods, and you get the diff for the current file.

I also vastly prefer IDEA's diff UI, which can collapse unchanged portions (like classic UNIX diff). And while VSCode aligns the files strictly by inserting gaps, IDEA will cleverly align the code with visual markers, which I find much more readable. (IDEA has a toggle for the VSCode mode, of course. It also supports unified diffing as a toggle.)

I guess the GitHub PR extension has similar functionality as IDEA's, but the UI is primitive in comparison.
Rhodes vs. Wurli: how to tell the difference [video]
You’ll probably “love doing” anything where you have autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

I love problem solving and mentoring people.

I would be happy doing this in any context. My career is in software development but if I worked at a bakery, restaurant, or any other job or company I can think of I’d probably find ways to build teams, mentor people, and solve the hard problems.

For the first few years of my career I tried to build things that I was interested in and would obsess about the thing but was in love with the process itself. Later in my career I would look for companies with a mission and a purpose that I loved and a founding team and leaders I aligned with.

I don’t think loving what you do day to day is important or even loving the mission or end goal. A job can just be a job and you can use maximize for free time and/or compensation and use them as the autonomy part for how to spend your free time to master something for a given purpose. That purpose can be something bigger than yourself or just your own personal fulfillment which is also worthwhile.

I plan to retire from tech in a few years and do something else, not because I no longer love it but because I want to try new aspects of problem solving etc. would love to sell physical goods like a cafe or plant store or something.

It sounds like maybe you’re framing the problem wrong. Instead of looking for a magical feeling from the day to day tasks of a specific role or field, try to think about society, how you want to fit into it and what you want your contribution to be (purpose), find a company or non profit or whatever that is trying to move the needle on that topic and have that impact, and then look for roles where you can develop mastery and have autonomy.

Alternatively try different hobbies and interest and try to find one that inspires you. Founder, musician, scientist, philosopher, etc. who inspires you or looks cool. In awe of the guitarist from led zeppelin and then pick up a guitar and work at it every day to develop mastery. Once you reach some level of mastery in some thing you can better reason about other things you might be interested in in a personal or professional context.
They probably did the math: they don't need the order taking machine to take less time than making the meal itself. If they made it so you could place an order in 1 second you'd still be in their store for a while. "Might as well bombard them with ads!"
I think it's critically different from advertising because the art is also the product itself. You're meant to enjoy the art for what it is. An ad on the other hand, is meant to encourage you to buy a separate product; this can be effective even if you absolutely hate the ad.

A more apt comparison would be a company giving out free samples. If you get a free sample of a delicious new cheese brand, you might talk about it to others and raise their public profile. But that only works if the cheese is delicious. On the other hand, an ad might just rudely scream "KRAFT MAC AND CHEESE" at you for twenty seconds in hopes of subconsciously leading you to buy their product when you see it in the store later that week.
If you ever see a $40 hamburger, it will be because of capitalistic forces - what the market can bear - and not the cost.

But he's so young and wears a baseball cap! Surely he cannot be like all the others.
I guess the argument here is that those ads are designed for men, but they're designed to prey on an extremely primitive, kind of circular logic: "you would look like this if you bought this underwear." Sort of a "this man is desirable to women, please act like him."

I am pretty iffy about that kind of detailed psychological reading into people, it's not completely clear to me that people internalize those ads in that way, and I suspect a lot of people internalize ads completely differently from each other, so I question if any of those explanations are actually generalizable. But I guess it's somewhat reasonable, maybe, to make the argument that male model ads are trying to say something like, "this is the clothing that attractive men wear, and if you were attractive you'd buy this." Or even, "this man is attractive and thus obviously has his life put together, and maybe you'd feel more like him if you had his brand of underwear on."

But I'm much more sympathetic to and supportive of extremely broad statements like, "both sexy women ads and sexy men ads influence beauty standards in sometimes unhealthy/unobtainable directions regardless of the intent/purpose of the ad." I feel like getting super-specific about what exactly is running through a man's mind when they see an ad for underwear is when we start to get uncomfortably close to pseudoscience. But the much broader statement feels a lot less like pseudoscience, it does seem fairly clear that beauty standards are influenced by advertising (and by other things too, advertising is just one aspect of this).
I thought ACH was negative-confirmation-only, and a "clawback" is really just a delayed "nope" message instead of revoking or undoing a previously issued "ok" message, simply because there is no "ok" message.

How on earth was ACH's design approved in the first place? It violates practically every principle of good transactional system design.
> Can I just paint over it, or rip it apart?

That's what Banksy does and says "yes" to.

> No, that would be vandalism.

So what? That's just a word.

> As much as I hate ads, THEY have re-arranged the world by paying for it in a free market, and we must respect that.

LOL, but why "must we"? You have no reasoning, no justification.

This. Websites are just marketing tools to sell your product. Unless your product is the actual web-app, I would steer away from learning complex technologies. They tend to come with their own operational overhead. When in doubt, follow the KISS principle.
Based on my experience running mail servers in the past (both personal and corporate), I'd say you're wrong.
I wrote a "quick and dirty" iOS app to use to show my Vaccine card. When I showed it to my family, they all wanted a copy. Turned out the easiest way to distribute it was to submit it to the App Store! All is does is allow you to "pin" up to nine images, always giving priority to the first image. It is free, and less painful than an embedded chip :-) (It is called "PhotoPin" https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photopin/id1591061748) I am currently working on version 2.1 which will minimize launch and bring-to-foreground times.
Americans work longer hours per week and get less holidays. A typical European 37 hour work week and 3 additional weeks vacation adds up to about two months more work by US workers than Europeans. So it's not really that they're paid more in the USA, it's that US workers get less vacation and longer hours.
The articles says: "Writing my first technical book without a publisher would have been a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE!"

But why? Does a publisher provide more than some seed money and motivation? What else am I missing by not using a publisher?
"Theft implies that you are deprived of the item once it's stolen - this is not the case here."

Yeah, exactly. If I write a book, and one person buys it, and a billion people copy it from that person (and I sell just one copy in total), there is nothing wrong, because I still have my book.

I am glad that most of people dont think this way, because we would not have any books in our world.

It would make for a better discussion if you stated plainly why you think your link is interesting. Wikileaks is a hot button issue in some circles and just giving a link like this without context will raise some eyebrows.
It brings up an interesting question.

I live in Israel where there are constant conflicts about what is OK to be shown in public, especially between the religious and non-religious.
In Jerusalem for example, some ultra-orthodox often vandalize any kind of poster that shows a woman in it. They just tear-out/spray over the women on the poster. Some are ridiculous cases where they defaced a poster of an old woman who survived the holocaust:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/female-holocaust-survivors-por...

Even other groups could be pissed by posters that include things about women's hygiene or show models in swimsuits. In their eyes these are things they make a lot of effort to block from the eyes of their families, and having it in public breaches the culture and education they try to maintain. This is by itself interesting as public adverts can penetrate the most strict censorship that religious groups and cults maintain.

Seculars on the other hand can also be pissed about anti-abortion adverts, religious propaganda, scientology, etc. and ask for them to be banned.

As someone who's trying to be a "free-thinker" and tries to promote it, I think there's no point in hiding in a bubble, blocking yourself from seeing other ideas, even if they're crappy advertisements. All of this as long as the adverts/ideas fit within the aesthetics of the city they're in.

The risk of doing so is essentially losing free-thinking and some sort of communication with isolated social groups.

The reason why I think these articles score poorly is because I think my reaction is like most reactions (not all, but most). I read the article, saw the salary table, did an eyeroll, and then skimmed the rest.

Lyn Alden is a better economist than most, and this article helps explain in a simple way what causes inflation.

We have inflation because of massive government "stimulus" handouts over the last two years of the pandemic. The response to this pandemic was way overblown and has ended up destroying our economy and did no save many lives.

Everyone loves getting government checks, but if all that new printed cash has to chase a smaller supply of goods and services (as a result of shutdowns), then massive inflation hits.
No it’s not. If my savings account gets drained by someone hacking my account, the bank gives me back my money up to 250k and they have mechanisms to claw back that money from other institutions.

> After using Homebrew for only a short time, you'll have a mess on your file system. Good luck cleaning it up.

Been using Homebrew for a decade and haven’t had serious problems with it in a very long time. I do use asdf for versioning language runtimes though. I’m not saying it doesn’t have these problems, just that it’s possible to use without running into them, which is why I haven’t felt compelled to switch.

> But building from source is superior.

Not if you value your time. Also Homebrew supports it with --build-from-source, so this is really just a question of defaults. Homebrew values my time.

The article talks about how to gain Financial Independence as a software engineer. Choosing to not work at FANG or unicorn co's, will severely limit your ability to achieve FI. Whether you like it or not, people do make judgements off of where you went to school.

I've had several managers at FANG talk about how they have a bias towards top 10 schools, one even admitted that the candidates don't seem that different but he still has this bias.

The biggest boost in your career earnings came from working at (1) financial companies and (2) working at FAANG. I don't think you have enough data to say that your area of focus is what to lead to this, and I personally think it is wrong.
