Well, sort of... but mostly it's not 'setting up from scratch' and instead is a handful of generic configurations for Nginx, etc.

How about repeatability? What happens when you need to set up a fresh dev environment again? Do you do all of this by hand again vs. using Docker or similar tools to build repeatable infrastructure?


It's a balancing act of using the right toolset with regards to project complexity. Are your current bash scripts simple to maintain and scaling with the project? If so, perhaps it's best to leave them for now. If not, then consider more powerful tools such as Ansible to handle configuration management.

With that being said, I'm working on a mildly complex K8S project which grew to a point where it made sense to switch to Ansible. We're still using one or two bash scripts, but everything else has been ported. I won't look back!


Wow, this is one of the ugliest new languages I've seen in a very long time. The author wonders why popularization is nowhere to be found... I think it's quite obvious just by skimming the first few pages of the tutorial.


Syntax-wise, MANOOL is a homoiconic programming language. It has its advantages and drawbacks, as everything, but it is definitely not designed to cause first good impression to those who are not familiar with such concept (seen, e.g., in CommonLisp, Scheme, or Clojure, which are considered incomprehensible by some people).

But what do you think about the article idea itself (apart from the syntax matters as it is orthogonal anyway)?


Hmm, aesthetics is a matter of taste...


Oh god, no. Apple should very much stay out of the SAAS business and stick with their hardware and OS expertise.


It’s a bit late for that. Services were 22% of total sales in Apple’s last quarter (13 billion vs 58 billion) and almost 40% of their gross margin (13348-4622)/(58313-35943) = 39%)

Edit: that requires interpreting “SAAS” fairly wide, but I think that’s warranted in the context of “writing their own search engine”.


Are you speaking from personal preference or from a business perspective?


Here's a tip for anyone that feels the same way: Better Touch Tool.

I used to HATE the touch bar, but after installing BTT and making a few customizations, the touch bar is now my friend.

Oh, and the new 16" macbook with a slightly smaller touch bar and the addition of a proper ESC key makes it a dream tool.


You could always just embed your own twitter feed, depending on how much content you intend on posting.


Yes, Photos will de-dupe on import. Import everything and only the originals should remain in the library.


Thanks! Was surprised Apple didn’t manage this. So photo libraries are a folder with an internal managed database of image metadata and attributes? Does it internally order Masters by date of photo or date of import?


The author is a designer, and so I'm puzzled by the choice they've made to use faint header and typeface colors... the whole page looks washed-out, except for the images. Very strange.


I tried, but the article lost my interest after several typos and terrible usage of bold + italic, which makes it mostly unreadable.


With less than 500 votes so far, I'd hardly call this an adequate sample of the worldwide developer community.
