Homebrew and mise-en-place are the only must have apps for me (both of which are not .app applications). Everything else is pretty well context-dependant and/or built in. For Homebrew - having used Nix, Macports, and pkgsrc, I found H

Unless you mean they should get on a level and work through their differences, that’s an awful thing to say. There are over 3,000,000,000 people living in India, Pakistan, and China.

There’s (arguably) an argument to be made that Emacs configuration distributions fit that niche - Doom Emacs, Spacemacs, and Prelude provide varying flavours for different kinds of Emacs users. Apart from that, I don’t really know what an a

With respect to being open source - it’s GPL licensed (with classpath exception), and there are several vendor-supported builds of the JDK. People typically use these or OpenJDK. You only run into licensing trouble if you use the gratis, co

It’s apples and oranges comparing a studio recording to a live performance. Anyway, I think this is a similar divide to the performances of ‘Hurt’ by Nine Inch Nails and Johnny Cash. People come to each with their own preconceptions and the

It wouldn’t be up to scratch for my work anymore, but I’ve found the 2015 MacBook Pros to be a good compromise between quality hardware and being able to run a full blown free Unix-like without any trouble. (By ‘my work’ I mainly mean incl

Important to note that it’s not hard or swimming against the current - you just use the nonguix channel, which has all of those things and is a perfectly acceptable use of the system (it’s what channels are for) - but it’s not in the defaul

I really don’t understand why anyone would have their internal VC and CI/CD on the public Internet. This is exactly what VPNs are for.

Red means stop, green means go - it’s pretty obvious signalling for anyone born in the last 100 years. I’m sure it’s not going to cause mass confusion and people walking in traffic. It’s just a neat thing to do.
