I can answer that that precisely: 4. I was testing Homebrew in a virtual machine to see how it compared to MacPorts, Nix, and Pkgsrc at the time and can restore the virtual machine with Terminal still open and my complete session viewable.

Here is one more reason I use MacPorts, because it never does crap like this: $ brew search x11 x11vnc Error: GitHub API Error: API rate limit exceeded for 0.0.0.0. (But here's the good n ews: Authenticated requests get a hi

Maybe they updated the error message. Here is what it said that last time I tried Homebrew: $ brew info texlive Installing TeX from source is weird and gross, requires a lot of patches, and only builds 32-bit (and thus can't

$ sudo port install texlive +full Have you tried installing TeX Live with Homebrew? I can't even fathom using a package manager that complains about managing packages 'cause it is too hard.

Let's say you want to video chat with someone using only web browsers, you would establish a direct peer-to-peer connection with WebRTC and then you could stream H.264 video to each other. I'd say WebRTC and H.264 compliment each

Well we can split hairs over this all day, but Musk and Trump (Bernie Sanders too) fit the definition of demagogues IMO. People like the cars because they view them as antiestablishment. e.g. better than what other car makers are building —

I think the constitution is the law. Right?

I don't think I'm missing the point. You can't invoke a constitutional right for otherwise breaking the law. EDIT: I don't want to reply to everyone, but if you could invoke the first amendment in the way you all are arg

While it is pretty stupid that the state of North Dakota is issuing an arrest warrant for a journalist. I take issue with the sensational headline, she is facing 30 days in jail for misdemeanor trespassing. That isn't even remotely c

I maintain my own fork of JSC that I use on Android. I've been focused on reducing its size and hope that it one day can be way smaller than it currently is. I managed to get it down to less than 800kB when compiled for ARM.

Floating settlements in the atmosphere of Venus would be interesting. There is at least an argument to be made about settling Venus before Mars. Likewise, I'm not sure why Mars is the first choice, especially when the moon is so close.

Wow, so much naysaying here. When I hear about private plans vs government plans I think back to what Neil deGrasse Tyson said: > Private enterprise will never lead a space frontier. In all the history of human conduct, it’s as clear to

Yup, it was Ginger. The syntax was like a mix of Python and Scheme. define fib (n) if (= n 0) 0 elsif: (= n 1) 1 else: (+ (fib (- n 1)) (fib (- n 2))) println (fib 20)

I wish every programming language homepage had a small code example. I know this is a LISP-like language and I can expect it to look like any other LISP. But I still appreciate getting a glimpse of the language without having to hunt throug

I feel like this article is FUD. Nearly every professional audio interface for Mac, iPhone, or iPad has a 1/4" stereo headphone output for real studio monitor headphones. No pro is concerned that they lost the 1/8" outpu

I found pkgsrc to to be pretty great, but some of the packages are organized in odd ways and badly named. For example TexLive isn't called texlive. Same with xorg-server. I also couldn't figure out how to install Mac specific vari

MacPorts isn't without problems, but I can't use Homebrew. Just the message that is printed when you `brew install texlive` is a deal breaker. I don't want to manage packages separately from my package manager, that's cr

I do pro audio. Nobody serious is using the built-in audio interface. If you're recording, you're probably using some hardware from Apogee. If your DJing, you're probably using some hardware from Native Instruments.
