I've had the same experience, maybe three times in my life so far. Super weird.

I think they meant that Netflix Chaos Monkey is a "simulation" of the real-deal, which is sending a shaved-ape into a physical server room and pulling out physical network cables. I didn't read it as derogatory.

Same goes for most biometric security. Basically, if the security relies on scanning some visible part of the person (face, iris, fingerprint), then it can be bypassed with a photograph of the same. I recall the Windows 10 facial-unlock thi

Plus, I'm much more worried about Googles vampiric approach to personal data, rather than Apple merely making it hard to deploy software.

Maybe, but what if Apple believed he had left his job at Verge? There wouldn't be any real reason to not take that at face value. Anyway, this theory is getting too convoluted, hence almost certainly false :)

(not the person you're replying to) The implication seems to be that the parents also exhibit traits of the autism spectrum, so it's hardly surprising that their kids would do the same.

Or, he was instructed to infiltrate Apple by Verge, and was found out. The Verge burned him, he dropped out of Apple, hence why he's supposedly not on the payroll at Apple. I don't believe this of course, but hey, tinfoil.

But any one company could claim to have been affected, and produce the paperwork/numbers to back it up.

If I recall correctly, Erlang 19 was held up for a while in homebrww because the couchdb formula needed to be updated also.

Not even remotely, especially if you zoom out from the Valley Bubble.

Basically the same problem Python suffers from. You can omit block symbols from the language, but you still need a way to express an empty block.

Reminds me of the android scene, loads of random forum posts, zips uploaded to rapidshare and blind trust in hacked installers. It's been a few years since I last built a hackintosh though.

Good to know, so did the speedup come mostly from not spinning-up the Ruby VM?

by s_kilk 10y ago
Thanks for the clarification. However, if Foo depends on Bar, will homebrew track the dependency so that I can't upgrade Bar to a version incompatible with the existing installation of Foo? I recall running into that issue a while back

by s_kilk 10y ago
Doubtful, homebrew doesn't do any kind of dependency management, so it would be a strict downgrade from pip, gem, cabal, etc Edit: See comment from rogual elsewhere in this thread - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id

It would at least save the process-start overhead, plus loading the ruby vm and modules/gems.

Jeez, that's pretty bad. This seems like the most basic case that autopilot is supposed to solve, and yet it still crashes?

There's no substitute for caring, and unfortunately much of the contemporary JS/Web world just doesn't care about these issues.

Shameless plug: my personal project, BedquiltDB ( https://bedquiltdb.github.io ) provides a mongo-alike nosql api on top of PostgreSQL jsonb functionality. Why choose when you can have both? ;)
