I’ve only heard Yiddish in movies and TV. To my ears, it does have a Bavarian flavor, but also lots of surprising stuff that you wouldn’t have in Bavarian. For example the vowel that would be long /o:/ in most German dialects comes out in Yiddish as /oi/.

I agree with some of your frustrations, but it's honestly not that bad once you setup your environment properly and get used to some of the quirks.

> I feel like I spend 45 minutes every time I write a shell script to determine simple things like "is this environment variable set".

Adopt some best practices[1] and have a template to start new scripts with. ShellCheck also helps with avoiding the most common pitfalls.

> I find myself reaching for purpose-built tools rather than ad-hoc pipelines

It helps to distinguish day-to-day interactive work in the shell from writing portable shell scripts that will be robust and require little maintenance for years to come. For the former you want user friendly tools that help you the most with a particular task. For the latter you want to use battle-tested tools with a stable interface that are available on many systems or are preferably built-in to the shell.

> I am getting more and more frustrated at basic shell mechanics like history handling

That's mostly a solved problem in many shells. Zsh supports it natively[2].

I wouldn't want to discourage you from writing your own shell, good luck with that, but there are plenty of good POSIX compatible and alternative shells out there. We can agree that "real" programming languages are much more powerful, safer and friendlier, but plain old shell scripts are the right tool for the job in many situations and shouldn't be ignored at all cost.

I dunno. When I ate junk food and gained weight, I started getting out of breath easily from not that much exertion. Signals of poor diet and exercise are fairly self-evident - you don't need to read a bunch of anxiety inducing books about the right diet and best exercises to do - just a little basic self assessment. It's a heuristic; it shouldn't be taken to extremes.
Couldn't agree more re: patient advocacy. My mom wrote a book -- a bit of a how-to guide -- for being effective in this role after her experience doing as much guiding her mom through terminal care for dementia.

> IPv6 can be a privacy issue

Why do people throw this out there as if it's a fact we all agree on?

I've heard of one potential privacy issue 20 years ago, which was that IPv6 autoconf used the MAC address for the host part of the address, but this has long since been replaced with regularly rotating random suffixes.

So... why keep saying this?

The necessity of understanding and aggressively arguing for your medical care is a real shame here in the US and IMO most of the reason why we see worse outcomes for certain minority groups with heart attacks etc not getting sent to specialists at the same rate. My experience is some doctors and staff actively welcome you participating but some don’t and you never know which one it is.
> So how many children did they repeatedly victimize in that time? Zero, if you go off the number of agents prosecuted over it.

If you go off the number of agents prosecuted for it, the FBI crime labs wholesale invention and fraudulent presentation of fiber “science” in both its own and, as a service provided to states, state prosecutions leading to numerous convictions and at least three executions grounded in state-agent perjury victimized zero people, too.

Law enforcement tends not to hold its own agents accountable for victimizing people, an issue which some particularly-victimized communities have made some high-profile complaints about over the last few years.
One kWh of batteries generally requires around 200g of lithium. Both by weight and price it's a crucial, but small component, so unless it suffered a 10x hike, its price isn't relevant.

Meanwhile LiFePO4 batteries, which are currently the most popular chemistry(at least in China), contain no cobalt whatsoever.

Only three things can be done with profits.

1) They can be reinvested back into the business.
2) They can be held by the business pending future investment opportunities.
3) They can be dividended back to the shareholders.

Taxing profits means less profits remain to reinvest (#1), and less remain to be held in (#2) bank accounts (which are lent out by banks for investments), and less can be dividended to investors (#3) which reduces investor returns and lower returns means less motivation to reinvest in businesses.
i add analytics for the first few months. but normally its all useless. i get like 100 visits a day on a good day. I don't make money off it, except the occassional affiliate link to amazon.

The google console is useful to tell what people are searching for but for some reason the last 5 years or so i find its nearly impossible to get traffic from google anymore.
Profits are frequently reinvested, taxing them means less to reinvest, and lower returns for investors, which means less incentive to save & invest.
I am sorry, but you are wrong. MacPorts will not go through configure/build/install for all ports, only those for which no binary archive can be made available. As others have already explained, this happens when license restrictions do not allow redistribution of a binary.

With your example of ffmpeg, you can check yourself that ffmpeg-4.3.2_0+gpl2.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2 exists as a binary archive and will be used on a standard install on macOS 10.14. MacPorts will definitely not build ffmpeg from source by default.

I recommend you test again with something simpler than ffmpeg, for example bzip2 or less.
Ah, right. I'm in the camp of "Why not both?" for OSS public PRs: Make it safe for CI on external pulls by external users. To support the disneyification of security / smart defaults, make an easy button to infer the policy per workflow, such as based on the last X runs. However, instead of today's unsafe and chaotic set of checkbox rules & enforcements, tie that to an RBAC policy over user/role x workflow x capability, and cover the usual suspects of physical + logical resources that virtual & data envs typically protect.

Ex: I'd expect the typical inferred public PR CI policy to be no creds/keys, a fixed set of network URL regexes (package deps like https://npm/@trusted_org/\*), upperbounds on CPU/memory/network/disk/etc, and ~no use of internal github APIs. There's probably surprises like `apt-get update`, which in turn is probably addressable with some common special cases. Likewise, for failure modes, as long as no creds are there and resource quotas are in place, most orgs are probably ok to make network read violations be WARN instead of HALT.

That probably covers the 90-99% case when making public PR workflows much safer.

For internal teams and higher-trust actions (CD, issue bots, ...), I'd expect the same but different. Currently, I'm not really sure how to do something like "Add a contractor but keep them away from most things" except by setting up a second repo with just CI. If there was RBAC and policy inference, however, that'd be all of 2 minutes.
Just to play devils advocate (Im a huge reef supporter) This report seems to say the opposite? Are there flaws?

Most regular consumers don't have access to those kind of car auctions - they're for dealerships. I also think they get bought in batches then shipping is paid for in one sum. It's not accessible to end customers.

These auctions are where your car gets sold after you trade it in to a dealership or sell to Carfax, so a Nissan dealership doesn't have to worry about trying to sell a 2013 Chevy Malibu themselves. And the trade in value you get is usually low enough that they aren't in danger of not making a profit. Then they get purchased by various entities, sometimes Carvana, sometimes normal brick and mortar dealerships that specialize in selling used cars and also poverty industry buy here pay here lots.

For what it's worth, I purchased a car in cash from one of those buy here pay here lots once. I had sold a car and needed something cheap to get around in for a while. It was a really bad experience all around - the car they sold me was a total lemon, even though the Carfax was pretty clean and the model had a reputation for being reliable. They misrepresented stuff (A/C had a serious leak)

They also tried to get out of even the most basic obligations they had (Paying $20 to get the emissions checked - where I live the car has to pass that test and dealer has to pay for it.)

If you need a cheap ride, I'd 100% go with buying from a private seller over going to one of those places.

I'm glad to have an experience like that - it really makes you realize how bad things are when you don't have any power in a situation. And why it's so important to have the government step in and say "no, you can't do that." Which our country doesn't have nearly enough of.
There are companies that do this, like Brex.

Sort of superseded in the GIS world by the geopackage (https://www.geopackage.org/): another spatial standard built with SQLite databases. Geopackages are less about manipulation/analysis at the sql level and more about storage—the idea is you’re already using something like QGIS that can perform analysis

From any major airport in the world you can probably get to Brisbane for $1000 USD return. Then Brisbane to Cairns is around $100 AUD return. You could win back the cost of your flights at the Cairns Casino, the best (worst) attraction in town!

It’s far away from most people and it’s not cheap, but if you want to do it, spend the rest of this year saving up and do it when Australia opens its borders.

I'm glad to hear that she was able to find at least some comfort in her final days. I experienced the opposite with mine a few years back. It was a slow spiraling brutal decent of misery. Hope was hard to reason against at the time. There was so much confusion with a clusterfuck of snowballing issues. I don't think we considered or were presented with a less painful and more peaceful option at the time. I'm almost positive everyone including her would have preferred that peaceful route.
Identity theft and harassment. If you say anything politically that other people don't agree with then you could become a victim of violence.
> With Linux there is nowhere and nobody to even ask for this kind of support.

This is not true. Every time I've run into a Linux problem, googling the error has always produced an answer. Often more than one answer. Often mutually incompatible answers. But one of them usually works. In the end.

For Apple, googling the problem often leads to an Apple Support page that has no answers, just an endless stream of "I have this problem too".

> The answer is always some version of RTFM or fix it yourself.

At least you can fix it yourself.
Yes, my father passed from Alzheimers, too. He also "died" about three years before his body did. I've been gradually adopting more and more of the regimen outlined in the book "The End of Alzheimers".
I realize you're trolling, but there is a positive way to approach this, by looking at what we can do to allow us to maintain quality of living in a sustainable way.

Cowering in the dark might be one answer, but why would you want to live that way. Let's invest our energy in understanding how we can do the things that make life worth living, while ensuring that future generations can as well.
You can easily reach the hard cap on future SS payments while earning barely more than the median pay in the US during your career. So every dollar you contribute above that earns you nothing. Someone who contributes 100x gets nothing for that.
Interesting. I always assumed that we were carnivore. I didn’t think it was still a contested science.

Plants are more dangerous and poisonous than animals. Animals surely can kill you physically, but the risk is predictable. And can be solved by outnumbering. But poisonous nature is way more variable, unpredictable, seasonal.

How is that we study diets and health so much, and we still don’t know what our ancestors ate? That’s just bizarre.
As if the trucks to move the goods didn't pay taxes for using the roads (or at least on diesel), and the property taxes on the factory didn't pay for schools, police, and firefighters.

whoa nelly. asking for a "rational argument" against distributing child porn before launching into one of the strangest combinations of ad hom and strawman arguments I've ever seen on this web site. here I'll break it down for you:

The grandparent post said (abbreviating):

But hosting isn't a morality question, they are just storing a number, and hosting company should not have to care what interpretations of a number can exist.

The parent post responded, saying that this is a flawed line of reasoning, because it (imo purposefully) glosses over an important distinction between hosting child porn and hosting most numbers:

but there is a real human cost here

hope this helps you come to a decision on whether hosting child porn is bad or not!
Reducing emissions to zero, scarily enough, is the minimum. We actually need to actively remove carbon from the atmosphere in order to prevent further temperature increases, which lag behind CO2 concentration by years.
Again, SS was designed to be a fairly funded retirement plan, where your contributions determined most of your payout. The amount of the contributions were designed to fund those payouts, and nothing more.

Of course we can remove the contribution cap, but now it's not a retirement plan funding mechanism, it's an income tax that has no justification for retirement plan funding.
The Imp of the Perverse, of course.

The real reason this is allowed to persist is to limit people’s behavior.

If you aré carrying a big wad of cash, it’s safe to say you aren’t performing a service for the ruling class. You are probably defying your servile status and must be made an example of.

Of course there was. The commonwealth was established in 1385, while Poland as a state came into existence effectively in 966, when Mieszko I adopted Christianity.
I recently switched to a Mac and overall the OS is superior to Windows, but Windows and Linux handling of windows just makes more sense in my mind. If you have 3 windows you are cycling through, composed of 1 Excel spreadsheet and 2 browser windows, it's very nice to just keep track in your mind of whether the window you want is the most recent in your "history" of windows or 2 ago, and hit Alt+Tab as needed. In the Mac world you have to switch between Cmd+Tab and Cmd+` depending on which you want to reach and where you're starting from, and that just seems like an unnecessary split to think about.

No, it's really not, because individual choice is a relatively small proportion of the damage done by corporate entities and aggregations of people that serve other masters and don't have either the will or the ability to amend their own behavior.

By all means do all those things: I go in that direction myself. But also vote, because there are damages that will not be remedied short of large-scale wielding of power, and voting has some chance of directing the large-scale power that can remedy the institutional bad actors.
This. Had an acquaintance who got a diagnosis of lung cancer stage IV, was told that otherwise she would die in a month and was offered an experimental treatment at one of the very famous cancer hospitals. She took the treatments, promptly swelled up to twice her size, lost consciousness and expired w/o coming to.

<sarcasm>Wow, I thought, that really must have helped reduce some other persons' suffering! All hail to the experimenter who cooked up her treatment! <sarcasm>

Somewhere in my recent readings doctors were characterized as sadists (I thought HN but can't find the post). Cancer treatment experimenters may be prime candidates for that characterization, which sadly seems more explanatory than I would like.
Yes, and the taxes paid by the trucks are factored into the price that the factory owner pays; I understand all that.

Elizabeth Warren's point was that the folks who perpetually agitate for tax cuts — and especially the taxation-is-theft crowd — are forgetting (or intentionally ignoring) what they get in return as part of the social contract; it's as though they think that the Public-Goods Fairy will somehow magically provide all those things that they benefit from.

Actually no, they don't believe in the Public-Goods Fairy; it's worse than that: They believe that they're entitled to the profits from their activities while the public should bear the resulting costs, including but not limited to negative externalities such as pollution, addiction, and the like.

And oh, yeah, when they f*** things up — as with the practices that led to the Great Recession, and countless other examples — they lobby to have the taxpayer to bail them out and make sure they get their bonuses.

So if you want to talk about "theft," then that particular modus operandi — privatize the profits, socialize the costs — might be a better candidate
I fear this comment will come across as pedantic, but I think it's a distinction worth highlighting. I am not a lawyer, but I care about this stuff and have studied it.

My (somewhat educated) understanding is that public domain is a rejection of copyright, and is therefore the lack of a license. Rather that saying "I'm the owner, and you can do whatever you want", it instead says "I am not the owner", and indeed, even further "No one is the owner". Naturally, this can only be said by the person who would have held the copyright, so paperwork is still necessary to show this.

Stanford[0] has a page about this that's pretty interesting (among other things, it mentions public domain works can be copyrighted again if they are gathered into collections, which I find fascinating). The intro text on public domain says this:

> The term “public domain” refers to creative materials that are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright, trademark, or patent laws. The public owns these works, not an individual author or artist. Anyone can use a public domain work without obtaining permission, but no one can ever own it.

In the case of sqlite, I think it falls under "dedicated works"[1], which is one of the four ways they mention that leads to a work falling into the public domain.
