This is true. My last name is Thomas but people will sometimes refer to me as Thompson, Thomason, etc. I get a lot of people asking how it's spelled,too (even native English speakers).
I agree. Isn't Homebrew primarily used to install CLI tools? Sure you have things like compilers/programming languages, but with the frequency that you install those types of things it doesn't make sense to use a dedicated app.
For somebody with an aversion to the command line I think the only reason to use Homebrew would be Cask.
I always have to laugh when, at the end of a flight, the majority of passengers jump up and elbow their way into the aisle, even though in many cases they'll be standing there for at least 5 minutes.
While sitting in the aisle seat, I've had passengers that were sitting beside me fall into my lap as they try to jostle their way by, just to get a place in the (stationary) line.
What's even funnier is when you see these people waiting around the baggage claim 10 minutes later.
When I was a teenager we did "experiments" during boarding of busses and in other similar situations. We made people jostle even more by standing in the back and saying, in a stage whisper, things like "Hey, there are still free seats!". It worked, sometimes even too well.
I elbow my way into the aisle because, like anyone over 6 feet, I don't fit comfortably into an airline seat and would dearly like to stand up. I would also like people to figure out how to get their bags out of the overhead and find their children before the aisle in front of them is clear, but I'll settle for being able to stretch.
As a fellow 6'+ person, one of the main reasons I stay seated is so that I don't have to stoop below the overhead bins and/or subject my face to the flurry of arms. :p
I thought I'd found the solution to the height + plane drama. I took a load of sleeping pills. Every time I woke up I took more. It got me from NZ to Europe feeling great, until the last 30 mins of the 30ish hour saga. I'd fallen asleep with crossed legs and my upper leg had cut return circulation off (I assume) and had gone red, swollen and painful. Somehow I limped off the plane. I think the strategy is great but DVT stockings are needed to prevent something like death occurring.
For me it depends on whether the couple minutes I save getting an earlier place in that line is going to make any difference. If I have a tight transfer to make in an unfamiliar airport, I'm standing and have my things and have moved up a few rows before the aisles get crowded. If I'm going to be waiting for baggage, you're damned right I'm staying seated, both for my benefit and anyone like me in the other case.
Totally! In domestic flights in India as soon as plane taxis to gate just about every passenger stands up. The isle gets filled and still everyone continues to stand knowing fully well that it will be 10-15 minutes before you can get off the plane. I've never really understood the reason behind this!
You're right. Part of the problem here is that the only people really talking about fairness, office conduct or working conditions in the industry are people coming from a feminist perspective, which leads people to think that these are "women's issues" rather than more general ones. Plenty of men in the industry are taken advantage of, but we haven't worked out how to talk about this properly yet. Likewise, most of the recommendations about treating people decently and standing up against abuse of power would benefit men too. How many men want to work in toxic environments? I'd imagine it's very few.
For my part I'd rather see a bit more discussion about what good workplaces look like, and what might be best practices, and a bit less cod psychology and gender mysticism.
The problem is that (in anecdotal experience) men and women simply handle it differently - men might get angry, offensive, even aggressive, while women might cry, gossip and manipulate. Different people might evaluate the negative effect of different behaviours differently, but that doesn't mean that any sex is handling rejection any better.
If you're not happy with exactly what they've provided, it gets a little more complicated; you'll need to edit the packages (written in Powershell) themselves.
I really like the idea behind Chocolatey, but in the end the time that I spent fiddling with packages minimized any potential time savings.
However, if you're not picky about your software, just need a quick copy of something, or only want to test something out, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.
