I updated to 4.0 and didn't get an alert about the new analytics - if I hadn't read about it here, I wouldn't even know there were different environment variables to stop analytics tracking now. I'd wager there are thous

None of this is user-friendly - all of it is obfuscated. I have to add resources to my system (env vars) in order to opt-out - and that is the issue! There are no hints/tips about this produced to educate a new user - if it weren&#x27

If glib IT policy gets in the way of development, its a fair characterization imho. Both the Homebrew developers obfuscating their analytics, and IT guys wanting to lock everything down, suffer from the same malady: glibness. Too many time

I wish we could get the industry to understand that when you build-in analytics and make it hard for people to opt out, you're using their resources. Sure, people don't pay for things like Homebrew (can they even?) - but this is n

Your life is yours, you own it. Its entirely up to you how you live it - nobody can make that decision for you. Don't spoil it by making excuses. Make goals instead, and then: attain those goals.

Definitely. And I think one of the reasons this approach is so powerful as well as being safer - when done properly - is that it follows the philosophy embodied in the OSI model. By glomming the VM onto a hierarchy of abstraction, one is

I agree with you completely, Javascript has been a step backwards from what could have been, had we been teaching teenagers to glom the VM onto C/C++ layers. This is just a much better approach than 'npm all the things' .. a

Write the code in pure Lua, ship only the LuaJIT'ed bytecode... Okay, not workable for every Lua project, but for most it'll be fine.

Great references, thanks for that! I'll add that book to my library and give it to folks when I recommend they learn the VM+execution environment technique.

Lua really is a joy, and after 40 years of software development is still one of the top ways, in my personal list, to get serious software built. I've done quite a few projects where I built a library of C modules to do the heavy lifti

And? The US used some heinous propaganda in its invasion of Iraq too - should we be holding Americans to the same standards? Media Propaganda is not nearly equivalent to official state policy.
