The following is a disclaimer (draft) to be given to candidates before an interview, and at the start of an interview. The GOAL is to CONVINCE the applicant to put down the AI-driven sidechat (window on computer, phone on the side), and answer from their own experience and knowledge. We have actually had applicants who seem great on paper, and then shoot themselves in the foot by operating during the interview as if they were using an AI sidechat to literally drive all their answers for them. AI answers are always short, simplistic, don't contain the nuance we want in a technical interview, and most importantly completely hide the applicant's own skills and knowledge (not to mention the extremely annoying ~5 second robotic processing time while the bot processes the question on the side, the requests to repeat the question...). This is just a draft, so it's currently a bit rought, but the idea is there.

# PSA: macOS Tahoe 26 changes how SSH agent sockets should be mounted into Docker/OrbStack containers.

After updating MacOS from 15.7.3 to 26.5.1, the update broke my existing setup for mounting SSH agent sockets to docker containers.

After updating to Tahoe, bind-mounting the host’s `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` path directly into a Linux container can stop working if you were pointing to the `launchd` socket path directly:

What used to work:

```bash
docker run \

Test Ruby TCPSocket.open against elasticloadbalancing.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:443

We are poking around and looking for the following "cannot allocate memory" error message:

Failed to open TCP connection to elasticloadbalancing.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:443 (Cannot allocate memory - connect(2) for \"elasticloadbalancing.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\" port 443)

Target testing Ruby 3.2's TCPSocket.open call here: https://github.com/ruby/net-http/blob/v0.3.2/lib/net/http.rb#L1271-L1273. (Ruby TCPSocket implementation: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/ext/socket/tcpsocket.c)

Environment variables can be loaded from a properties file in bash

testenv.properties

foo=alpha
bar=beta

This will work because input redirection happens in the current shell.
