I understand the moves by Stripe, Twitter, and co. However, I would argue that the long term implications set by this precedent are much worse. When the Snowden story first broke back in 2013, many on HN argued that, hey it's all good, I have nothing to hide, and I trust our President. Three short years later, who took the office? Would you have every imagined that? The same goes for this. Think five minutes into the future if you will.

If the leader of the free world can be banned from all social media and co, who are based in the very same nation, and who are monopolies, then what hope is there for the rest of us?

You truly don't know what you've got till its gone...

Glioblastoma is particularly awful, even in the realm of cancer. Two books I found quite interesting on neurosurgery and cancer as a whole.

USENIX talk from VP of software at SpaceX (2016)

https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa16/conference-program/...

(Speaker was concurrently interim VP of Autopilot at Tesla for a bit as well)

Few interesting bits:

- Speaker’s background is SRE at Google

- Engineering culture: Authority, autonomy, accountability. Blameless postmortems

- High Integrity C++ & MISRA coding standards

- The spacecraft has multiple onboard computers, all running Linux

- Tripe String Architecture, 3 redundant computers, whose results are cross checked with majority voting before being applied in real time, given radiation tolerant over radiation hardened hardware

Despite intense efforts to raise money, including a last-ditch mass sale of Easter Eggs, we are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally bankrupt. So bankrupt, you can't believe it."

"About a year ago, I asked Doug to manage both engineering & production. He agreed that Tesla needed eng & prod better aligned, so we don’t design cars that are crazy hard to build. Right now, tho, better to divide & conquer, so I’m back to sleeping at factory. Car biz is hell …"

Thus, you can have multiple versions installed simply by having Xcode.app in a different directory or renamed. Just remember to set the active Xcode for command line usage via `xcode-select` (can verify via `xcodebuild -version`).

This is precisely for jumping between various GM and beta versions in case of issues and such. Downloading from the Mac App Store does not give you this control.

Finally, Xcode 9.0.1 has worked smoothly for us so far FWIW.

Hopper supports Linux since V3 :)

Mostly, I wanted to offer to upstream this because it seems likely about the same utility as the AMDGPU backend for folks without an AMDGPU, or the XCore backend, etc. It's small, and we're happy maintaining it and taking on any of the effort around it."

She put it best

"Anyone who's ready to participate in space exploration should treat it as serious work. Quite consciously we must treat others as not men and women but as colleagues" [1]
