It's already been a big day, but we do have one more thing.
Speaker 3
Welcome to Change Login Friends, a weekly talk show about spatial computing. Thanks to our partners for helping us bring you great developer pods each and every week. Check them out at Fassie.com, fly.io, and typecents.org. Okay, let's talk. So we are here joined by Mike McQuaid with Homebrew.
Speaker 1
What's up, Mike? Hey, I'm going good. Thank you. Thanks for having me on, guys. It's been a while.
Speaker 3
It has been too long, which is why we're so happy to have this new format where we can just invite old friends on and talk to them.
Speaker 1
Yeah, no, it's nice to come here. It's good timing as well with WWDC recently. Lots of interesting, spicy things to talk about. We were jerking in the Homebrew maintainer slack yesterday about how it's generally our time of year to be like, what is Apple going to break this time that we have to desperately try And fix in the next three months before everyone complains. Right, right.
Speaker 3
Well, you probably don't find that out on Monday, though, so the keynote goes out. But that's like the big consumer retail news. But like the developer news kind of trickles out throughout the week. Isn't that the case, usually?
Speaker 1
Yeah, but also this, I think they've got they landed one of the developer betas for MacOS Sonoma already. So like we actually, one of our maintainers, fixed some stuff and made a release yesterday so that Sonoma could work. Wow. Sonoma could work at a very high level. I not immediately like fail on startup when you run Homebrew, but you're not declaring full support, but you probably think it's going to work.
Speaker 2
Yeah. What are some of the things they tend to break when it comes to new OS's? I mean, you had the major change from obviously Intel to M1 or M2 or just the Apple Silicon world, right, that had to move where Homebrew actually lives in the file system. What's it believe breaks?
Speaker 1
I mean, it could be any number of the things we rely on, really. Like we use the MacOS sandbox. So sometimes when they change stuff there, then we need to like work around things that sometimes like API codes or like Apple attend to as well, make the really big changes they want To make with like Xcode and like map those to like MacOS versions as well. So it might be the compiler, all of a sudden starts doing slightly different things or giving slightly different output. It might be that they have deprecated the system Ruby, and then finally they're actually removing it or you know, all these types of like little things that you often have like a bit of
Speaker 4
Advance warning for, but like, you know, require work. Yeah. All right. ([Time 0:00:00](https://share.snipd.com/snip/1c8f59e4-68d1-43db-8cc4-0bfe77047f77))
