"Once we had the context we needed and the alignment on what we would do, the final implementation would have been almost ceremonial. Who wants to push the button?"
This is what I've observed in my day-to-day work: the hard part is no longer typing the code but aligning on solutions, weighing tradeoffs, reaching a shared understanding, etc. For OSS I have no idea what this means except that the value of drive-by PRs has plunged to nearly zero.
Here's a Google ad impersonating the brew.sh website but linking to a malware site.
Remember, it is always 100% morally and ethically OK to use ad blockers.
today in shell scripting:
if you:
- use `#!/bin/sh` (and not /bin/bash or /usr/bin/env bash), and
- use `echo -n ...` (to say "hey, no newline at the end please)
… you will get "-n" in the output on MacOS.
afaict, i think it's a case of:
- macOS (BSDish), when in /bin/sh, faithfully recreates old /bin/sh echo, which doesn't respect -n.
- the various linuxes do not seem to bother with this, and have -n work the same as it does in bash (often because sh is an alias to bash).
the more u know etc
I'm actually a little worried that removing the vmware fusion license requirement is a sign that Broadcom is going to quit updating it. The blog post explicitly calls out that they'll keep investing in desktop virtualization which....isn't really comforting.
