I recently got to play with Lego because my daughter, who is five, got interested in it. There are attractive boxes for girls, it's called Lego Friends and the figures are a bit more life like.

What were the circumstances that people were afraid like that? For example, was this an in-house development team, or hired consultants? And how did you find out that people were afraid to ask these questions?

I particularly like this blog: https://hashtagwifi.com/blog/apple-content-caching-and-you-s...

It has the same information as Apple's official documentation, but it highlights the advanced options.

That's perhaps the difference between me and others. I like getting prompted if software attempts to read my Documents folder. I've got about a dozen packages installed via brew cask, plus a handful from the Mac App Store. The first day, most of them prompted me once or twice, but that was about the extent of it.

It's basically like the prompts you get on iOS. I don't have a problem with these either.

I'm a commandline person and often prefer to use something from Homebrew instead of the graphical equivalent. I've got a dozen or so packages (besides whatever is installed via brew cask) and it's going well for me. If you reply with the output of "brew list", I have no problem with installing and testing packages you require.

Some additional information: Core Data is the Apple-provided framework to persist your object data when you're developing software on macOS, iOS and friends. It uses SQLite as its underlying database.

I don't have anything to do with the product mentioned. It's just that as an iOS developer, I found Core Data finicky in my past projects. Often I wanted to check whether my object data was correctly saved into the underlying database, or add initial data, or edit data to test some logic. This product seems to be focused on exactly that.

But your actual experience is that it worked fine, right?

I have the idea that there's currently an atmosphere where it's fashionable to repeat other people's bad experiences. Regardless of one's own experience.

You do you, but the relentless flow of horror stories didn't stop me from upgrading and it was flawless for me. I'd recommend reading these critical pieces and seeing whether any of it actually applies to you.

If you have another (24/7 powered-on) Mac in the household, it can act as a cache: https://hashtagwifi.com/blog/apple-content-caching-and-you-s...

Yup, I came here to second Arq as well. I back up to a local Windows PC which happens to be always on. Nowadays, it's very easy to enable SSH on Windows, create an account for backups, and then point Arq to that.

The only thing that got me, is that if you configure Arq to use SSH on Windows, you have to enter disk volumes as path.

For example, if you want your backups to appear on Windows in D:\BigDisk\Backups then configure Arq to back up to /D/BigDisk/Backups. That's not an Arq thing, that's how the OpenSSH server interprets paths on Windows.

Vey interesting, especially now that big websites such as Twitter force you to give your phone number. Others coerce you in not-so-subtle ways ("because of security!!1!" -- Facebook). No matter that sooner or later, criminals will have them.

I'm looking forward to Senu expanding outside the US.

Work for equity? You mean, only work for equity? Without a salary? No. Work for a salary that's lower than the market, plus equity to make up the difference, sure.

> and so we've had many discussions internally about whether it's right for us

Many discussions? I've never been on a project where code style required anything more than 10 minutes. The tech lead would ask: "everybody okay with the defaults of this linter/editor/whatever" and we'd reply "sure".

How much time did those many discussions take, and what were the reasons you needed to put in that effort?

What I like, is that it has been coming every Friday, for years. And it's really short. This has me actually reading the links.

I'm not sure if it's a joke or not, but that web page its title has a typo. It says "langauge" instead of "language".

Which distro do you use on the server? And is Swift easily installable/upgradeable there?

> When I have to work with people who get creative and clever, it's awful

Isn't this more like a problem you have with the team, rather than a problem with the language itself?

Thanks, good information

I work in clamshell mode so much, that it wouldn't bother me too much. But nevertheless, it's going to hurt if it comes that far.

Yep, I hope so as well. I'm not sure if it's a motivation for the developer(s), but I dutifully donate each year.

If it doesn't get updated, I'll have to start looking at custom mechanical keyboards. Their controllers (some small Arduino variant) allow any random key mapping.

I'm pretty sure Parallels will come up with a solution. If you want to play with virtualizing Windows via Hypervisor.framework right now, I remember that the people from Veertu.com had Windows running via their Veertu Desktop product. But they seem to be focused on virtualizing macOS-on-macOS right now.

I think this is great, as a user. I've never liked kernel extensions, and always suspected them as a source of instability.

If you want to know how much non-Apple kernel extensions you use, use "kextstat" and filter out com.apple. In my case, I only use Karabiner:

  % kextstat | grep -v com.apple
  Index Refs Address            Size       Wired      Name (Version) UUID <Linked Against>
    185    0 0xffffff7f84cc0000 0x5000     0x5000     org.pqrs.driver.Karabiner.VirtualHIDDevice.v061000 (6.10.0) 4D004D1A-ED2F-3780-AD53-A10F286EC759 <51 6 5 3 1>

Remote.it looks pretty interesting. They have a desktop app for macOS in beta, as well.

It's not great. However, I heard something hopeful in the latest episode of the Swift Unwrapped podcast. It was mentioned how the person working on the Windows build has recently been employed by Apple.

Android, iOS? What language/tools are used?

Curiousness, not casual dismissal, is what's mentioned in the HN guidelines.

But since you ask, they do mention some of the reasons: - Apple’s Secure Enclave processor - Able to test the implementations against each other

This happened to me once. I was driving to a client while it was snowing. Google Maps told me that there was a faster, less busy way, and avoid the highway.

Yeah it was less busy -- because the locals knew damn well to avoid the crazy slick small roads. At some point, I lost control of the car and skidded off the road. Thankfully I didn't end in the ditch.

I think they mean the following. In Django, a view function, or view for short, is a Python function that takes a Web request and returns a Web response.

So a watcher view is probably a view that returns an extremely short response. It's just telling you whether more data is available, or not.

They mention websockets as an alternative that's far more complex.

Check the Hacker News Guidelines, particularly "please don't post shallow dismissals". I definitely think the blog author is onto something. This is not just a virtual desktop, this is a VPS but "administered" like any regular smartphone. Such a thing doesn't exist yet, while all the parts are there.
