Homebrew is not really pro in any way: they force updates, deprecate old software that is still widely in use, the maintainers are always very combative and dont allow any discussions or other opinions.
In the end it's a package manager for consumers that hand holds you and is not really useful in a pro context.
I've been meaning to jump to macports anyway, maybe ill do it now...
I know, is there any point in calling it Homebrew anymore when it's like an extension of the App Store?

The Museum of London site (now closed as they prepare to move to their new site, coincidentally near the AWS HQ), and there was a window you could look down on part of the wall, which you can also see from the other side of the road near Barbican. I won't give directions, as that seems futile anywhere near Barbican, but I had only just thought about how weird it is that there is wall at Tower Hill, and wall at Barbican - they can't be the same run of wall as it was built, can they? That'd be immense...
I used to eat lunch at Bastion 14, although you can't get anywhere near it now. There was plenty of old wall at Moorgate that was very open access.

fyi, the account confirmation email redirects and ends up on a tab with address localhost:3000. looks like it did work, i was able to login after that, but many users may assume it failed and give up
Took me to my local grafana instance, which was a surprise :D

An excellent piece of work, although needed and continues to need more horsepower than I have readily available. UI not super-useful but I am going to dig in and see if the API can be utilized to get what I would like - better exposure of underlying file structure to quickly navigate by date.

The only thing tolerant society must not tolerate, is intolerance.
Never debate with Nazis or other bad faith actors.

Wow! When that one DHH blog went around the other day, I didn't actually pay attention to who the author was. All I saw was yet another bigoted rant and just skimmed it and rolled my eyes. (e: here it is to save people the effort: https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64 )
I should not have skimmed it. From your link:
> In the same post he praises Tommy Robinson (actual name Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon), a right-wing agitator with several convictions for violent offences and a long history of association with far-right groups such as the English Defence League and the British Nationalist Party. He then goes on to describe those that attended last weekend’s far-right rally in London as “perfectly normal, peaceful Brits” protesting against the “demographic nightmare” that has enveloped London, despite the violence and disorder they caused.
> To all of that he ads a dash of Islamophobia, citing “Pakistani rape gangs” as one of the reasons for the unrest, repeating a weaponised trope borne from a long since discredited report from the Quilliam Foundation, an organisation with ties to both the the US Tea Party, and Tommy Robinson himself.
This is ... disqualifying. That's the best word I can summon here to express my dismay. This is a crossed line. Absolutely nutso.
edit2: Uh wow I really should not have skimmed it. Here's one paragraph from DHH's blog itself:
> Which brings us back to Robinson's powerful march yesterday. The banner said "March for Freedom", and focused as much on that now distant-to-the-Brits concept of free speech, as it did on restoring national pride. And for good reason! The totalitarian descent into censorious darkness in Britain has been as swift as its demographic shift.
Well, if that doesn't speak volumes as to DHH's values, I don't know what does.
OMFG
This post is full of outright nonsense. I was in Central London last Saturday and watched a lot of it go down, before heading to Islington and then catching the last dregs of the crowd nearer Euston and chatting in the pub with some of them.
As a "native Brit" and "native Londoner" that DHH wouldn't recognise as such, he can absolutely do one.

And Canada, and Australia.
I didn’t really want to switch to VSC but the extensions made it easy to find things that you just couldn’t do in IntelliJ, and… I haven’t looked back. Haven’t really missed the suite at all.
