Thanks. I agree the onus shouldn't be on you to figure out how to do sophisticated things, and it should basically just work without breaking your system. However! You shouldn't be using your system package manager to install Pyth

It seems to install into /opt/homebrew/ now, whereas previously it used /usr/local.

I'm definitely going to be reading this blog post, and probably others by this person. They sound amazing and his work sounds amazing. So I'm not the sort of person to ignore someone's technical work because of their style or

No. If you’re not an experienced python programmer then I can see that your comment might seem like a witty contribution. But I was actually providing good advice.

Homebrew isn’t unreliable — I’ve used it for more than a decade with no problem. What’s an actual problem you have with it? Perhaps others here could help you.

Why did you want to `brew install virtualenv`? That’s no longer the current way to work with python. Virtual environments are now in the standard library: python -m venv /my/directory I’ve never had any problem with homebr

Is that a joke? Your one example of real world value of crypto is that you can buy something on 4chan?

Great! I sort of see that in the "typing" one the candidate manages to solve the problem using type-level (compile-time) computations alone. But I can assure you that for the majority of Hacker News readers, trying to read the &qu

They're all quite amazing pieces of writing, and very funny. Are there some people who understand the technical content?

What are the plans for preventing people from simulating sexual encounters with virtual likenesses of real people? It seems that in order to prevent that, we need some sort of security technology preventing me from being able to create comp

I agree that you should consider whether it’s good for your life / what you want or not. All options are available. (I’m also 10 years in)

It does seem a bit controversial to develop a relationship with neovim without approaching emacs. I wonder if they even asked on emacs-devel, I’m sure they’ll have got a friendly response …oh hang on…

However it, err, looks like some things did need fixing in PHP v7.

Yeah, I think people differ a lot over this. E.g. there are lots of people who seem to want as much info in their shell prompts as possible, and all sort of system resources monitors on display all the time. I'm not an extremist on thi

The GitLens VSCode plugin is nice, but (1) Very annoying that the default is to show blame all the time when the cursor moves to a new line. Who would want that? It just made me strongly dislike the plugin at first encounter, until I'd

A good trick for removing unintelligent content from google search results on any general computing issue is to prefix the search terms with "linux". And I'm a Mac user :)

If I were in that position I would consider studying while on the job. Is there anything in the realm of computer science or adjacent areas that appeals to you to study? Maybe get a serious ramp-up in an area that you'd like to work in

So is there anything to be done about this? It seems from this thread that the conclusion is that companies cannot avoid constantly seeking growth, and yet that growth ultimately destroys internal social mechanics / culture.

No, there is not, because the question is asked in the conditional tense: notice that it starts with the words "Say you wanted ...". It's invalid to criticize a conditional statement for the nature of its premise. A condition

Right, thanks. Don't get me wrong, I like Haskell (though haven't got good at it yet; keep getting lost somewhere between fmap and applicatives/monads). However, I prefer the comprehension and `do` version over your `fmap` ex

OK, I definitely believe you that it's the right thing to do and that the pilot knew what they were doing (in your case and in the Colombian Amazon), but, my suggestion is that that sort of scare is more common with the very old DC3s.

My partner and I were recently in Amazonian Colombia. One of the routes to a small indigenous community was serviced by a DC3. If you're not familiar with Amazonia, indigenous communities are poor communities of people usually growing
