Like homebrew maybe? ;-)


homebrew is non-commercial and updates on-run, rather than in the background, but frankly yes

if they had a commercial offering I think they have the brand trust to make this work


They have that trust because all the software installed by homebrew is open source.


Not necessarily all open source, homebrew-cask has been merged into brew and you have e.g. Jetbrains IDEs and Zoom available.

Personally I use homebrew-cask to manage almost all applications and their updates, turning auto-updating off in almost all apps. That way I am in control and can update when it is convenient, know if an update broke something, etc.

Edit, using:

- https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle

There's actually a little wheel at the back of the volume thingie where you can "scroll" to the next and previous track, etc.


Isn't this exactly what every dating site out there promises to do?


How? For ex. Tinder, We can only see some basic details about the person. How can we know about the behavior or his/her likes. For ex. If given a choice between Ice-cream and Chocolate, which one s/he would prefer. Does there exist an app where we can match based on our choices?


Sadly, I just copy them around using my local NAS.


First: I love the idea behind IPFS and decentralized storage and I'm sure there will be some valid use cases.

But: There's already tech available enabling these very use cases (see https://webtorrent.io/) and the adoption is pretty low. Plus IPFS doesn't solve the problem of disappearing peers at all. If no one's willing to mirror your awesome IPFS page, it will be gone the same way as with centralized hosting.

Fun Fact: IPFS is not BlockChain tech.


That's pretty amazing, nice work!

The company I work for has a similar tool (no fancy API yet, though) which shows the latency from some AWS regions to "the world" via different transit providers.

You can check it out at https://latency-test.datapath.io/.

The reason we only have three AWS regions at the moment is that we're using real hardware to do the measurement on network level.


Well, first of all, talk to the team. To every single person involved. Be it the CTO or the intern. Have someone who has been on the team for some time onboard you and find out what the current obstacles are. Then just grab one task and start working. You'll find the place you're needed most automatically.


I don't favor this because then you get someones outdated view of the product, if at all. In an ideal world, yeah, you should get onboarding, and some walk throughs from the current developers. In reality this rarely happens in my experience. The code deployed to production is the ultimate source of the truth.

I recently witnessed an instance when a senior develoer heavily relied on others for information as you suggest. The team was failing to deliver the manager was incompetent. This senior developer I hired on with was made a scapegoat and blamed for slowing down the team and causing missed deadlines. This was absurd of course, but she got away with it, and he was fired.
