We can't swim from instinct, we have to learn. Tabula rasa is the name of the theory.

And they told me that Python is the slowest programming language and PostgreSQL has the slowest database connections.

yesterday was the second round of interview. i think it could have been worse. i confidently answered all the questions about linux commands, but there were some bad moments too, like i struggled to name the differences between a hard link and a soft link (i knew them by heart but couldn't wrap into words). i couldn't answer what a syscall is, and some others i can't remember

Swift. It's the language Apple is pouring money into. The Swift playground seems like a neat idea. Alternately, if its level of abstraction is too high and that makes you itch, you could always try Objective C I guess? :)

In other news, tookapic.com is shutting down. It launched in 2014, same as Sub. Their comments section was an inspiration for how replies look here. I will never shut down Sub now that is has this nice .com domain. I optimized the backend performance for the cost of a Netflix/Spotify subscription.

macports vs homebrew?
🏒 Lucian Marin
I only used homebrew. It has everything I need.
☮ Christopher Patti
Homebrew by a long shot. The only reason to even entertain Macports is if you have a beef with the way Homebrew is laid out. Macports purists take issue with putting things into /usr/local. My take? It works so I could care less :)

You liked macOS so much you ordered a MacBook Air?
