What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

Introduction

Installing pycurl on MacOS with Python 3.6+ and newer proved to be tricky, especially since a lot of the available resources seem to be outdated ([1], [2], [3]).

Steps:

Remove previously installed Homebrew versions of curl:

    brew uninstall curl

Nix on macOS Catalina

I'm writing this gist for my own records but it might help someone else too.

Installing Nix

Support for Catalina has improved a lot since the update was first rolled out.

Note: See the NixOS manual for discussion of the --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volume option.

Introduction

Apple restricted the access to Xcode LLM (Predictive code completion) feature on China models of Mac. This guide provides a way to bypass that restriction. It's verified on macOS 15.0 Beta (24A5264n), but there is no guarentee that it will always work on later macOS versions.

Prerequisites

Xcode is installed and run at least once.
SIP debugging restrictions are disabled (via csrutil enable --without debug command in recovery mode).

	# For project consistency, its better to depend on npm binaries loaded locally than
	# globally, so we add .node_modules/.bin to the path for shorthand references. This
	# means you should add any binaries you need to "devDependencies" in package.json.
	export PATH := ./node_modules/.bin/:$(PATH)

	# Pull in the name and version from package.json. The name will default to "app" if not set.

	# This script will create a cron that downloads the latest image from Himawari 8 every 5 minutes. I use it as my wallpaper.

	# The Himawari 8 weather satellite acquires 5500x5500 images of Earth every 10 minutes. It captures other weather related
	# stills but the full disk, true color is the most amazing.
	# The latest is accessible at

	# The satellite was launched in July of 2015. It's the highest resolution
	# camera we currently have pointing at earth (stationary at the L1 point).
