• Some questions about programming in OSX (macOS)

  There's Homebrew and MacPorts for MacOS which you can use to install lots of open source software, however I personally prefer to create a Docker container with Alpine Linux, share a development directory with the host, and install whatever I need inside the container thus avoiding cluttering my system. The disadvantage of Docker is that it isn't trivial to get started.

• M1 MacBook Air for studies (IT)

  m1 macs have done amazingly for my dev work and for my studies. using a package manager like homebrew or macports generally makes the experience of setting up tooling far better than trying to do the same thing on windows.

• Macbooks for rails just don't make sense no more

  Even without MDM, some level of consistency with your coworkers is important. Over the years, I've troubleshot dozens of setup and configuration issues with folks' macOS machines, and if you're the "odd duck" at the company, you'll find yourself on your own for performing tasks or resolving issues that your peers either haven't faced, or don't know how to resolve. As a small example, my current company uses Macs for development, and as a result, all of our setup and onboarding instructions are written for macOS, depend on homebrew, etc. While using Linux is not prohibited, you're completely on your own for getting everything set up and working, and troubleshooting issues with your machine.

• Enjoy the classic Snake arcade game in your terminal
  dev.to | 2021-07-11

  Previously, the game was only packaged for Linux which comprise but a tiny fraction of the desktop / laptop user base, while the larger macOS user base could only obtain it from source or through development tools such as npm and Docker. But no more! I have recently decided to package the game for Homebrew which should be more familiar to end users, and also make it easier for users of mainstream Linux distributions to obtain the game as well by publishing packages to Ubuntu PPA and Fedora COPR, as opposed to offering the packages directly on GitHub. So let's get started!

  If you look at the PR they sent to Homebrew, they defined it as an alias for their existing flags for turning off analytics. That doesn't look like an overreach to me? https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/6745/commits/f255f63d4...

  The maintainer just stated it without further explanation. Searching for "HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS" does reveal some other references[1], and it seems that there are some other places where this may need to be added such as "Library/Homebrew/env_config.rb", but I don't know anything about homebrew.

  I do think it's very much a minimal-effort PR. It's hardly a PR at all: at the very least the tests and documentation should have been updated, and actually writing out some more rationale would help as well. I certainly wouldn't send a PR like this, at least not without the text "this is a proposal, and if accepted I will update the tests and documentation as well".
