Forscan on MacOS Montery with wine/wineskin

FORscan is windows only software. You want to run on a Mac. You can download a big windows VirtualBox image (20 GB), run Boot camp, or pay for something like Parallels ($80) or CrossOver ($60, built on Wine).

Instead you can pay with your time and try to get wine running. Problem: wine development for MacOS seems to have died with Catalina (10.15) dropped any support for 32 bit applications. Also every wine setup tutorial you find for a Mac is tightly coupled to the exact version of Mac/Wine/direction of the wind/ shoe size of the author on the day the tutorial was made and will not work for you. With that said here's what it took for me:

Wineskin

So you've committed to main, but your main is behind origin main and the push gets rejected...
➜ git commit -am "my commit to main"
[main 10bc4d8] my commit to main
1 file changed, 11 deletions(-)
➜ git push
To github.com:myorg/myrepo.git
! [rejected] main -> main (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'github.com:myorg/myrepo.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.

Minimal git commands
## Happy path
# Create a new branch to put your code on
git checkout -b my-new-branch
# Add all your changed files to a commit (will not start tracking new files)
git commit -am "description of my new changes"
# Push your new branch to github. Then go to github to make a PR
git push -u origin my-new-branch

// But output is in a more easily digestable format (hint: it goes in a spreadsheet)
// 0a. Make sure you have aws cli 2.0 installed and configured
// 0b. `npm install` there should be a package.json with this, but you need lodash, moment, bluebird

Rapture Art of One-liner - Jon Pretty @propensive

rapture.io -collection of libraries for scala

jawn json parser. Quicker than Jackson, and I guess Jackson must normally be considered the quickest.

My thoughts: Awesome talk. Look into rapture, looks useful. Jon is smart.
