Unless you're using a shell that subverts that by providing its own built-in, like Zsh, which is allowed because there is no standard for `which`, and depending on its behavior can be problematic and inherently non-portable.

That description is also doesn't correctly describe the behavior of the command if the shell has any aliases or built-ins of that name. If you have an alias that points to a different command, then `which` is distinctly not printing the executable that would have been executed.
There is no reason they could not adjust for that. Poor parents get a handicap so to speak.

Other than that novelty, it can be genuinely useful if you think about it as a more intelligent autocomplete.
Great writeup!

Just adding on: Other key differentiator between recreational and therapeutic amphetamine usage is the pharmacokinetics: Vyvanse is the best in this regard - it’s actually an amphetamine prodrug that gets converted to amphetamine in the bloodstream over the course of ~2 hours, giving a very smooth release. Adderall achieves a similar end (to a lesser degree) by combining equal ratios of four different amphetamine salts with various absorption rates to smooth out the serum concentration curve. Dexedrine and Desoxyn I believe are both single salt compounds, and thus have a slightly higher risk of dependency due to their sharper peaks. Of course, other RoAs like smoking or injecting amphetamines recreationally take the effect to a whole new level with even sharper curves, dramatically raising the chances of addiction and negative side effects.

Show HN: FlakyBot – Identify and suppress flaky tests
Hi HN, we are Spriha and Ankit building Flakybot is a tool to automatically identify and suppress test-flakiness so that developers are better able to trust their test results.

Most CI systems leave it up to teams to manually identify and debug test flakiness. Since most CI systems today don’t handle test reruns, teams just end up with manually rerunning tests that are flaky. Ultimately, tribal knowledge gets built over time where certain tests are known to be flaky, but the flakiness isn’t specifically addressed. Our solution, Flakybot, removes one of the hardest parts of the problem: identifying flaky tests in the first place.

We ingest test artifacts from CI systems, and note when builds are healthy (so that we can mark them as “known-good builds” to use while testing for flakiness). This helps automatically identify flakiness, and proactively offer mitigation strategies, both in the short term and long term. You can read more about this here:
https://ritzy-angelfish-3de.notion.site/FlakyBot-How-it-work...

We’re in the early stages of development and are opening up Flakybot for private beta to companies that have serious test-flakiness issues. The CI systems we currently support are Jenkins, CircleCI and BuildKite, but if your team uses a different CI and has very serious test-flakiness problems, sign up anyway and we’ll reach out. During the private beta, we’ll work closely with our users to ensure their test flakiness issues are resolved before we open it up more broadly.
My girlfriend likes to watch ALL the streamers. I have a "no smart TVs" rule for our home because of shit like this.

Hah, and it’s prescribed for ADHD, and all the other stimulants are amphetamine derivatives. Who are people kidding?
Revolt of the Essential Workers
A proof that the language and system description are accurate and complete is very difficult, I agree. But it only has to be done once, it does not have to be repeated for each proof, so that does not seem relevant to me wrt the advantages of such a proof.

As for your first point, I would wager (having done it many times) that it is considerably easier to translate a proven, working program to another language correctly, than it is to do the same thing with an abstract state machine.
Given that the ncase is now out of production this may be one of the best sub 10L cases out there. Hybrid 2 slot card in my ncase would likely slot perfectly fine in this guy.

Also y'all gotta stop hating on this price it's actually very reasonable in the sff pc case market.
Yes, the situation is really touch. Especially for small businesses. So I thought of doing some logistics myself to lift off this third-party dependency on trucks. I found a website https://www.truck1.eu/trucks/from-germany that sells used trucks from Germany, and even considering the export tax and shipment costs it looks to be cheaper and less risky.
I'm with you. He impressed me until the list.

Stacking containers and finding more storage space is smart, but I think he also went pretty far outside his knowledge domain when he started talking about messing with train logistics and mobilizing the military (other than maybe using federal land/ depots for storage).

I don't know his background, but I do know trains are all about throughput, which isn't significantly improved by reducing the distance empties get hauled temporarily.

You can recruit all the traction you can find, but those tracks have a fixed limit on outbound capacity.

If anything, making a line a temporary one-way long-haul line would improve the throughput by getting rid of trains waiting on sidages to take turns going different directions. Or if dual track, run running both tracks east for some blocked amount of time.

Pull in new engines from other lines/directions, as needed.

But the bigger point is the guy appears (to me) to be talking out of his ass on at least half of his recommendations, no matter what his title and experience.

> I think dismissing the anti-woke stuff in the way you do isn’t an accurate portrayal, sure partisanship is definitely motivating some but not all (not me) - it’s because I think it’s genuinely bad policy.

I think either favoring 'woke' or being 'anti-woke' is partisanship. It's applying a label and dismissing it. The non-partisan thing is to look at each policy, regardless of labels applied by others. Even using the term is arguably (and arguably unintentionally) partisan - it adds nothing to the analysis and even works against it: It encourages inflames partisanship, which is a cancer.
I have many shelves of books. There's a few reference books that I haven't "read" because nobody sits down to read a CRC Handbook; a few textbooks I haven't read because they were aspirational purchases that are difficult to make time for; a dozen or so novels that will definitely get read in the next two years. If I don't like a novel enough to re-read it, it goes into a box, and gets returned to the next used bookstore I visit.
I would suspect that the stress of kids risking their family's income is not conducive to better learning or social outcomes, especially for kids with learning challenges or non-traditional strengths (said as a B-C level elementary school student now PhD).

Teachers, parents, or caseworkers don't need that stress either.
> Based on the fact that every orbital launch requires airspace restrictions, local road closures, blocked patches of sea and launch permissions.

So set up a [semi]-permanent airspace restriction somewhere inland, remote enough that there are no local roads to worry about, and don't block any patches of sea. And do the permission in bulk, obviously.

> major explosions (worst case) per launch campaign

Failure rate is something to consider in several ways but largely unrelated to the launches-per-hour metric.
Indeed. And 95% of all CEOs would probably jump at the chance to run any of these companies, even if they were not money factories right now.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Everyone that loses a contract sues the government. Blue Origin already sued over losing a moon lander contract that didn't even meet the minimum requirements. Airbus sued the Air Force after losing the KC-X contract. I'm sure there are others, but those are just two that immediately popped into mind.

Trying to a void a lawsuit is how you get nonsense like the LCS where the Navy first opened the bids for a single class of ship, and then when it was time to announce the winner, split the contract between Marinette Marine and Austal.
> Would you be happy with no paper certificates for gold and just use gold coins? From your earlier argument I suspect the answer is no.

Everyone's answer is no. Even during the prime of the standard, people made transactions on paper currency promising they represented gold because no one is going to lug around heavy coinage, spend the time to authenticate it (since it's easier to counterfeit than modern paper/plastic currency), or have to decide between making trips to banks or having a pile of it they have to constantly guard.

> Every single argument you have made is that governments and banks cant be trusted with paper money even when it is backed by gold. So, why do you push for fiat currency?

Because for every person who isn't part of the aristocracy close to centers of power, there is no difference. If a currency is mismanaged, it doesn't matter whether it promised gold or low inflation. During all of the previous crises, the first things banks and governments did is suspend specie payments.

> If government and banks are not to be trusted with paper money then hard currency is the only solution left that doesn't require trust in anybody.

If you want to live in a nation state with a credible legal system, and I think everyone does, you have to trust them to some extent. You have to trust that they won't take away your property by force, throw you in jail to take your wealth, allow someone else to do those things without consequences, or mismanage their currency to the point where it hyper inflates.

Credible governments have things like the FDIC so normal people don't have to worry about their local credit union going under as long as their account has less than $250k in it. Since the average liquid net worth of Americans is less than $50k[1], that pretty much covers everyone. It has virtually ended the problems of bank runs and panics except for black swan events like 9/11.

Even for things like the 2007 Financial Crisis, being on a gold standard wouldn't change anything. The policy mistake of removing the firewall between traditional banking and investment banking as well as leverage limits would have still led to over-speculation and CDO Ponzi schemes. The gold standard would have just added another knot to the crisis as well as provided some video footage of huge crowds trying to get specie payments and walking away empty handed. Nations like Canada avoided that entire crisis, except for what was unavoidable due to their relationship with the global economy.

How utterly depressing if this truly is a common belief.
The real interesting bits...

"Jenny Sundén insists that this “sex in public, as it were, can be made safe.” She proposes detaching the idea of intimacy from privacy altogether..."

"...what would happen if, “rather than pushing for a privacy that is no privacy—a security that fosters insecurity . . . we fought for the right to be exposed—to take risks and to be in public—and not be attacked?” Perhaps, with everyone’s data always on the brink of going public, a new front in the long fight of LGBTQ2+ people for the right to safe private sex outside the home is the demand for freedom from harm if intimacies are exposed."

I'm all in support of this attitude. I don't think ending privacy is a true solution to the problem of privacy, but it can help reduce the size of the problem.
Yes, it is. And can also result in decisions that benefit your local shipping exec over any other considerations. Informality in cases like this is just another way to say "completely avoids oversight. "

In the SFF (small form factor) case game this is a quite reasonable price. Check out the ncase, ghost s1, etc.
My dad has one of those big coin collections. There are maybe a dozen or so coins in the whole thing that are really worth anything. The rest is several physical tons of 'that is going to take awhile to go through' and 'hey dad your retired why dont you sort your coins, oh I am leaving that to you'.

I personally try to keep my physical collections small. Only a few items that I consider interesting I keep. Except my DVD collection, video games, and my wifes CD collection. I like them so I keep those. But if I stopped caring about it I would take an active interesting in getting rid of it. I do not want to burden someone else with my collection of junk. My personal coin collection if you went and spent it as cash I would be a bit upset but no real value would have been lost. The 50 or so coins I have are merely novelty not valuable and fit in a plastic cup.
Notable sections from that page:

> The command -v and -V options were added to satisfy requirements from users that are currently accomplished by three different historical utilities: type in the System V shell, whence in the KornShell, and which in the C shell. Since there is no historical agreement on how and what to accomplish here, the POSIX command utility was enhanced and the historical utilities were left unmodified. The C shell which merely conducts a path search. The KornShell whence is more elaborate-in addition to the categories required by POSIX, it also reports on tracked aliases, exported aliases, and undefined functions.

> The output format of -V was left mostly unspecified because human users are its only audience. Applications should not be written to care about this information; they can use the output of -v to differentiate between various types of commands, but the additional information that may be emitted by the more verbose -V is not needed and should not be arbitrarily constrained in its verbosity or localization for application parsing reasons.
Real-World HPC Gets the Benchmark It Deserves
But did it actually help? It's not clear to me that suspending the rule had the intended effect.
You're right on most of that but off on some details.

Only Vyvanse is anti-abuse, because the dextroamphatamine is bound to a lysine molecule. The body must cleave the lysine before it becomes active so snorting it doesn't give the instant rush.

Adderall has no such countermeasures. You're probably getting confused by the fact that it comes in both IR and XR formulations (instant release vs extended release). So if someone has XR adderall, it's not as snortable as IR. But it's still more snortable than Vyvanse is, and you can just get IR adderall which is totally abusable. (BTW X milligrams of XR is really just X/2 mg instant release and X/2 mg delayed release beads that take on average 4 hours to activate. So it's roughly equivalent to two X/2 mg IR doses split 4 hours apart) And finally the XR can be countered by crushing the beads up, although it's a bit laborious.

Amphetamine obviously has its risks, and particularly when prescribing to children doctors seem to write some ridiculously high dosage prescriptions without fully understanding what the drug is like. But you can just say that rather than doing the juvenile "it's really just meth in a bottle" shtick when there is literally already actual meth in a bottle that you can (with great difficulty) get prescribed. And that fact - that methamphetamine exists as a drug that can be prescribed - is much more interesting and surprising to people, given that the lay public is completely unaware that methamphetamine has any pharmaceutical uses.
It's a lie.

Low income people already are almost not taxed at all, given how our tax structure works.

The parents that are taxed enough to matter in the first place are making enough money that they can freely give their kids what they want, in general.

Years of being in ecommerce and web development has taught me that there's no getting around buyer beware, it is the price for living in a consumer-focused society. There's always a greater fool, and the people building solutions will always prioritize sales and revenue over virtually all else. Attempting to circumvent this means going bankrupt faster.
I don't think this is unique to HNers talking about government, the reverse is also true, with many government officials assuming that most businesses are awash in cash that they can use to solve any problem (true of many businesses to be sure, but in the same way that government officials are scoring own goals, sometimes, not universally).
>"surely no one competent would choose to have a package depend on `which` when a standard POSIX utility can do a better job"

I'm immediately turned off by this person. They don't say exactly who or when the command was altered to put the warning in place, but it sounds like one inept, opinionated person decided to flip a switch without caring about any other practical reasons that conflict with his puritan take.
What you've claimed was stated by the author of the study, and there may indeed be some who make such claims. However, I would characterize the conservative position thusly:

1) Government subsidies increase the rate of choices that lead to receiving subsidies.

2) Single-parent households represent the supermajority of low-income households.

3) Single-parent households result in the worst outcomes for children and society.

4) Becoming a single-parent household is a result of poor decision making.

5) Subsidizing single-parent households will increase the number of single-parent households, leading to worse outcomes for society, regardless of the effects on the individuals receiving subsidies.
