Funny enough I started something like that as a ruby library and stopped when I got to the query language shim because I just ran out of time and motivation. https://github.com/wa9ace/squongo

I'm almost certain they are referring to this blog post https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-d...

I experience much the same things GP does and I like to take a stab at replying to some of your fears. It would have been perfectly acceptable to my circle of family and friends to say that I and my wife would not have kids. Having children is not for everyone, especially those that are afraid of losing their personal time. I definitely miss the amount of personal freedom and time I had on my hands before and kick myself for not realizing at the time how much personal time I had, not that it would have changed my behavior, but to just have appreciated what I had at the time more fully. Having said all of that nothing compares to the joy my son brings me every day, and there's no amount of crying and fighting he could do that would make me yearn for the time before his existence. For those on the fence, I would say it is better to not have children if you're uncertain. Having children should feel like a leap of faith that you're ready to take together, not one you feel you have to take despite your fear because of a biological clock or possible regret. Everything in life has a season, and you will go through many seasons. I only get 1 year with my 2 year old. Then I'll only get 1 year with my 3 year old. The seasons of life will come again (hopefully) when I have more free time and my son pursues his own passions in life. The time I spend playing with him while my partner cooks dinner, or that my partner spends with him while I clean the dishes is fleeting as is all of life. I'll blink and he'll be a grown man and I'll have all the free time in the world again. Live for today, and hope for tomorrow. If you want all of your todays and tomorrows to be yours and your partner's to enjoy with each other only, the choice to not have children easy. I chose to experience fatherhood and was privileged to make that choice without pressure either way and with my partner's support. Live life exactly how you want and be kind.

I installed arm ruby via arm homebrew using `brew install ruby` and it's working. Anything requiring the ffi gem will not compile at the moment though.

Do you have a search engine that you prefer to use that claims not to store said information that I might try?

I normally read a good chunk, if not all of the code of a dependency before I add it to my projects except in the case of community standard things (in Ruby) such as ActiveSupport or Sequel. Going over a prospective dependency a few months ago bore fruit in proving why you should always do this. NewsAPI is a neat little API for fetching news whose docs just so happen to show a ruby gem. Being the lazy developer I am I’d like to use the gem than build another API client, but before I did that I read the source as one should. Low and behold what do I find but the evil eval in the code for a dirt simple API client. No thanks.

I wonder how this will affect java minecraft on the mac. Does LWJGL have a Metal backend?

They did. In the demo in the About This Mac window it said macOS 11.

Like daringfireball met with pinboard tweets, and decided to write about dev, ham radio, politics, and motorcycles.

Pipes was such a good product and sorely missed. Is there anything equivalent to it today?

Yeah I feel like it's a very similar idea, however WhatsApp did get it's start for $1 a year after the first year iirc?

Looks like it got axed https://ncees.org/ncees-discontinuing-pe-software-engineerin...

I made this recently just because I wanted to prove to myself that it was possible to have a modern frontend application without all the overhead of build tooling and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. You can use some of the most important things in browsers today like CSS variables, and ES module imports.

Agreed, going to take a proctored test is such a huge barrier to entry.

Any form of encryption on amateur radio frequencies is prohibited under FCC Rules Part §97.113 Prohibited transmissions Section 4 http://www.arrl.org/part-97-text. This makes things like TCP/IP over HAM frequencies legal (as seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMPRNet) but not SSL traffic. No business transaction required.

IIRC last time I poked at their enterprise image and dumped the code there were bits of custom type annotations. That was around 2-3 years ago.

Thanks for this, I hadn't seen it before. That example is much better commented and documented than mine.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Aside from the FCC database link someone else posted there's also https://www.qrz.com

I don't claim to speak for the parent, but my difference in opinion comes from the fact that when tested, the red team managed to get banned weapons and mock explosives through TSA 95% of the time.

I'd like to point out that Brave never has replaced ads on websites, only blocked them, and in the future will only replace ads on websites whose owner explicitly signed up to let Brave replace their ads. This comment from the Community Manager lays out reasonably well why they're using this model https://www.reddit.com/r/BATProject/comments/8j4uiy/fud_from...

With brave you can make money as a publisher here https://brave.com/publishers/ Essentially, people browsing with brave who have put some amount of money in a wallet will disburse at the end of a cycle some funds to each publisher based on how much attention they spent on each site.

This is by design. They list all the things they do to de-googlify Chromium https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-... including removing the translation code so that information is not transmitted to google. See also this thread on ProtonMail+Chrome https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18490458

Obligatory Brave recommendation as well which is built on their own degooglified chromium. They list what they've removed here https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-...

I'm not sure if this fits your use case, but it's what I plan on ordering soon https://www.ixsystems.com/freenas-mini/#buyawesomefreenasmin...

https://ruby.social is geared towards Rubyists but by no means is it restricted to only that topic.

How about a cli tool to cache and build those modules/native extensions all at once? We could call that Deno Package Manager.
