Sorry, but yes I am using macOS for work. I use homebrew as xcode is the issue here, not python or macOS. There are solutions to your problem, you just seem resistant to using them.

The binary installs aren't that generic in the machines I've used (mac and debian based, so covers a fair bit). It's python3.11, not python3, and the python3 "executable" is, itself a symlink to the particular binar

I'm not sure what you might mean by runtime, but a python venv does make sure you're using the same runtime. There are symlinks in the environments bin directory to the specific runtime. If you're plonking a python3.12 binary

Being able to have individuals at a different volume is something I almost desperately want in work meetings. I'd also love something that would allow me to be in several "breakout" chats at once, but not silence everything,

Getting a driving licence and being suspected of drunk driving and causing a crash are two different things. Where I'm from your blood would be drawn after you were arrested for a suspected criminal offence, not just because you had a

And even when the driver can speak, use the language, be understood and the voice controls are reliable, sometimes they don't actually want to disturb the passengers sleeping in the car just to crack the sodding window open a bit!

I've not had a frozen pizza that was as good as a mid-quality pizza place. Even the better ones cheap out on toppings, size and you don't get as much choice in what you have. I like frozen pizza well enough, and I'll get it f

I really didn't notice much difference as a consumer tbh. The restaurants I wanted to eat at ended up a wash since the food didn't do well via delivery, and the rest of them are the regular pizza, kebabs, indian and chinese takeaw

Given how they characterise GPTs in general as custom versions of chatGPT ( https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts ), I don't think it's a stretch to assume they're not being very benevolent in this trad

I tend to assume they're going to be an idiot and turn. I'm not going to yield my right of way, but I'm going to prepare to stop. Just because something is a rule, doesn't mean people are thinking properly. In the UK we

The inverse has also been suggested over the years: people who pirated at some point are more likely to pay for content now, whether or not they continue to pirate content

Except for when your data is in it. Migrating data on a running app is one of the worst things to deal with. I can understand using something simple and cut down for other things, but the DB is not the place I'd want to do that. Postgr

And to add, it's a large cost if the candidate takes the offer and doesn't work out. If a candidate is unhappy with the offer but accepts it, they are more likely to leave sooner than a candidate who is happy with the offer. Compa

I've found it also needs to work both ways. My manager can only do so much, and if I don't communicate with them, they can't do anything about it. Some of my colleagues have been horrible at remote working, not telling anyone

As are the rest of them in my experience. Zoom has been hands down the worst for me, seconded by Teams and then Meet.

I think the idea of being able to downsize (or stay where you are after paying your mortgage off) is underrated. Going into retirement with no big outgoing costs for housing outside of insurance and maintenance is a big upside of owning a h

This is one of the reasons I've stayed remote, in spite of being OK in an office environment (and sometimes preferring it). I'm moving out to a town 3 hours away, which is not really commutable into London. It's a better qual

This is something that gets trotted out every time this topic comes up. It's got little to do with the actual conversation, and it only relevant to some companies. Basically, some companies own buildings that need to be leased out and

Inflammation can also inhibit finding the cause of an issue, so saying you shouldn't treat it is probably a poor blanket statement to make.

BMI is really a tool for helping to give indications of risk factors. If you have a BMI of 15, it's likely you have risks of various diseases. It's not a slam dunk, but a risk. But if you've chatted with a health professional

If you came to visit me, you couldn't charge your car where I live. I don't have private parking, and the places you can park near me do not have any access to a plug socket. Not everyone is lucky enough to have appropriate infras

Exactly. A decent test suite will do two things: 1) Give you confidence that if you refactor something, when you do something silly it'll break the tests and show you where you went wrong quickly 2) Allow you as a developer to write ne

Heck, I have a kid in my life who has a severe peanut allergy. Going out to eat is restrictive as we can't go to some restaurants, so cooking at home is way easier on many occasions. We also like to sit an eat together "just becau

Me neither. If I'm concentrating I don't want to wear headphones all day. Even with my very comfortable ones, it's not that comfortable and as you say, it's not the same as silence, or just the quiet of a room without

From my experience, if your CEO is not competent, the business is doomed to fail without an immense amount of luck. I've worked in a startup that had funding, and a good idea, but the CEO couldn't run a business. He also wouldn&#x

In my experience, if you have more than a small complexity to your data, and you're a medium scale business (or are going in that direction), you're going to end up with this issue. And then it becomes really painful to get out of

Lego is the brand name, so it's more like calling two Nike store Nikes rather than Nike stores. Outside of North America it's more usual to refer to many Lego bricks as, well, Lego bricks or Lego pieces. If we're playing with

I've seen plenty of scenarios when a test has also given a false sense of security. It's not actually testing anything important, but looks like it does and should be, but doesn't actually catch defects. This is also a ca

Quite often people will fork so they can tinker locally. It's not odd to see forked repos without any changes, it's just someone being curious or wanting to make a contribution but not having time to go through with it.
