Yeah, I thought I had edited my post to say it doesn't look to still be alive (apparently I did not!) - that's a shame, having diversity in this space is good.

The thing you want then is `fink`, which literally uses dpkg and apt.

> Why would a license like this be considered non-free when the GPL is free? Do you consider the SSPL to be free? If so, this would be. If not, it probably would not be. Why does SSPL require unsatisfiable numbers of dependencies by the

It’s been a while since I’ve used one, but I’m fairly sure the common debuggers for C#, F#, Rust and Java would all behave correctly when breakpointed like this.

Interesting source - looks like it means “GA” service, rather than “public” per se. The SQS beta was also available to the public.

Well then why not just integrate it into the compiler and make them errors?

Using code per the terms of the license is one thing. Stealing it it another, and that is what Microsoft appear to have done.

I see the opposite in most Java programs: poor organization with packages based on a type of thing (eg models, controllers) rather than related behaviors. Go doesn’t have warnings, which is great - if something is worth warning about, it is

I actually can’t think of a better way to do so.

Bazel RBE and IOT Core come to mind.

The very first sentence of this article contains an error: > Over the past 19 years (S3 was launched on March 14th 2006, as the first public AWS service), object storage has become the gold standard for storing large amounts of data in t

That rather depends on your ability to evaluate what you get. I have no qualms telling non-technical people "buy USB-C chargers from the Apple Store", knowing perfectly well what quality I will get. However, you can't even gu

The biggest problem with everything NotBazel in this space is IDE support. JetBrains have already moved their build for IntelliJ to it, and are aggressively adding native first party support.

One gives up a decent amount of control for the first 12m, then a bunch more at 100m. Unless you work there, you frankly have no idea how much control the founders have.

This does look interesting! I’ll take a closer look.

By far my biggest complaint about the GitHub pull request model right now is that it doesn't treat the eventual commit message of a squashed commit (or even independent commits that will be rebased on the target) as part of the review

Why would they not allow it? They've published the source to numerous old products (including MS-DOS[1]), and they own GitHub... [1]: https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS

I interpret "our policy doesn't allow it" as "I don't want to work here".

I've found that tailscale.com sometimes gets blocked by overzealous content filters as "VPN software".

I'm not sure I'd call Rust a "niche language" any more (perhaps in ~2018) - it's in common use across many big technology companies.

iOS grants just the contacts you select - including “none” to apps. WhatsApp works fine in that regime.

It's worth noting Apple (likely) do this with the SOCs - the bucketed variants with fewer operational GPU cores are the output. They just don't do it with the packaging.

I believe the colloquial definition has changed substantially over the last ~100 years in the US. As a concrete example, Travis Heights (part of Austin) was initially advertised as "Austin's first suburb", but is very much in

Both Slack and Teams can be configured to be HIPAA-compliant (as I already mentioned). Note that iMessage is NOT HIPAA-compliant.

None of those are desktop applications, all work on Android and iPhones alike. All are more suitable for your use cases than SMS, iMessage or RCS.

Have you considered using something like Slack or Discord or (can’t believe I’m suggesting this) Teams, all of which sound like they’d be more suited to your use case? This does not sound like an impossible stretch, works on more device typ

i have found nothing in my usage to suggest that current Siri can reliably open a garage door. Or do anything else - it’s actively worse than 5 years ago.
