I'm not "a developer" so I never got the use case of tools like these. Instead I just use the stuff they mention (asdf, make).

I use Asdf to manage versions of all programs in a monorepo. Works great (well, actually asdf's UX is terrible, but it works reliably, and the plugin design is great).

For development, I don't ever load environment variables into my current shell session. I run a script or Makefile which loads any necessary variables, does a thing, and then exits. It would be a nightmare to have to constantly check if my current shell session had X variable in it.

I use Make for repeatable small commands that will vary per directory, or for simple parallelizing or ordered execution of commands. I have a big one that handles Helm installs, and a few more for Terraform, Packer, asdf, etc. I also use them for deployments in hierarchical environment directories, where environment variables are loaded from parent directories. I love that Make has all the features it has, because I always find myself eventually reaching for something you don't find in "just a task runner", and it makes my life easier.

I use shell scripts when I need to make a composeable tool that'll be slightly longer or more complicated than a Make target should be. I have saved so much time and effort writing these tools in shell rather than Python or something, where there is inevitably way more bugs and dependencies. The only time I have needed to use something more complex than shell is when I have a lot of APIs to deal with that also deal in JSON; if it's a lot of complexity it's better than curl/jq, but if it's only one small task, curl/jq is better.

The end result works great. The whole environment just needs asdf installed (from Homebrew, for example). With stock Make and the stock Bash v3, I can manage everything automatically, everything's version-pinned and automated, all variables get loaded at runtime as needed, and the whole thing can be grokked by just reading some simple Makefiles.

The only thing I want to fix now is to get rid of the superfluous Makefiles from directories (they're all symlinked back to one Makefile). It's a pain to re-symlink them all when I change directory structure. Probably should just write a script for it...

My insurance doesn't cover it.
They were going to still pay for longer than normal procedures. It was just that it would have to be shown than the overtime was medically necessary.

The time they were going to allow before justification was required is the same time the Medicare uses for deciding how much to pay.
People don't like price gouging. If you get into a taxi where somehow there's a misunderstanding about the price or opaqueness when you get in, and suddenly when it's time to get out there's some crazy price the driver is requesting, that makes you feel cheated, well you'll feel like not paying or going to the police. These things happen all the time when traveling. Why do health services somehow get a free ticket to cheat? The numbers, thousands of dollars, are astronomical and never is there an attempt to rationalize it. It just is.
> This whole celebration of murder thing is so bizarre.

People are celebrating because UHC is responsible for thousands of denied coverage(ultimately murdering common people) despite paying higher chunks of paycheck.
Thanks - I appreciate the background info.
I feel the same, so I simply block its network access (via LuLu), and it works just fine that way. I wish it was open source so I could hack on it and so development could continue - it's a really cool idea and works pretty well.
I'm not familiar with AV Comparatives. Do they have any incentives that might influence this result? Offhand, it seems like if Windows Defender is actually the right choice for basically everyone, they wouldn't have any reason to exist, so I can't help but wonder if that would affect their reporting.
You have the same problem in Gregorian calendar, no?

How many leap seconds will occur between now and when Europa Clipper intercepts Jupiter? That's actually important to know, e.g. for scheduling radio telescope time.

And let's not forget that some Pacific island nations have actually skipped entire days to just to another side of the date line.

Neither. I'm not young anymore but also got into computing relatively late, so the earliest machine I had was 32 bit. I think the 8 and 16 bit stuff is neat, with no rose tinted goggles of that time.

> What a lot of math learners fail to understand is that grinding through concrete examples imbues you with intuition that you will not get if you jump directly to studying the most abstract ideas.

I feel that's more a lesson for a lot of math teachers to understand. I remember some frustrating linear algebra, calculus and computational complexity courses where the lector basically threw some formulas onto the blackboard, went line-by-line through a formal proof of their correctness and then called it a day. Giving actual examples of the application of the formula was an afterthought left to the student aides. Giving examples that could explain the derivation of the formula was not even considered as an idea.

It always reminded me of someone teaching an "introduction to vi" course but then just scrolling through vi's source code without any further explanation - and in the end expecting the students to be able to fluently use vi.

Assuming that you have done your homework and that you are right. ( a lot of especially young people think that things are magical now, while IMO some things have regressed) .

Why shouldn't a motivated/intelligent layman try and get hold of those devices and learn them? Yes things can go wrong, but what _real_ suggestions you have for people to get procedures done, safely AND reasonably priced?
WLED is nice for 1-dimensional LED strips, or if you don't really care how the animations project on your LEDs, but anything in 2 dimension is painful, the grid mapping in 2D is just overly complicated and obscure. I barely got my simple LED matrix working and I've been doing LED grids with my own software for over 10 years (so I know how easy it can be). WLED was just an awful experience for 2D led arrays or anything more complex than a single LED strip.
This was originally meant to solve the problem of zombie processes in Docker containers (hence the name and issue nr.; moby/9098).

I’ve found this more succinct in other contexts than backgrounding tasks, writing pid files, and maintaining them through the process’s lifetime.

Also less prone to error.

> and no one will care because it already happens to them at the airport, so why make a fuss about it at the grocery store or on a public sidewalk.

You may be overestimating how many unique/different people travel through airports, especially more than once or twice to notice the tracking. People who travel once or twice total in their life by air, (are usually easy to spot), far more concerned with getting through a confusing hectic situation then noticing or even knowing that using facial recognition is new and not simply a special thing (because 9/11). And, the majority of Americans have travelled to zero or one country, last time I saw numbers on it. That country is usually Mexico or Canada where they drive (or walk).

I think once it starts trying to hit close to home where people have a routine and are not as stressed by a new situation and have the bandwidth to--at a minimum--take a pause, will ask questions about what is going on.
Just like Plausible they're hashed with a daily rotating salt on arrival to my servers, forgot to mention that in the post.

> Ah, but if they controlled the bot then didn't they have other problems too?

Yep — my theory is that this all starts with the insecure trigger + template injection, and that the attacker exfil’d the bot’s PAT and stale PyPI API token at that point. The first round of attacks used the bot PAT and cache poisoning, and then the attacker pivoted to the PyPI token once the first vector was closed off.

> I used the commit I thought triggered the release (cb260c243ffa3e0cc84820095cd88be2f5db86ca) I did not see it show up

I think I know what’s happening there: that search UI only indexes by commit for attestations produced by gitsign, not every attestation containing a commit. I used it by finding the entry IDs from the release action logs on GitHub Actions, but if/when those are flushed someone who doesn’t already know them will need to seek the log in order to find the attestations.

That’s not ideal; the search.sigstore.dev service would ideally have more indices like crt.sh does.
It's funny that if you talk about the top issues Americans worry about, health care is one of them.

What are the top issues as perceived by Republicans and Democrats? They range from gender equality, race, immigration, crime, trans issues - basically anything controversial.

Healthcare is less controversial. And there's big buy-in for change by Americans. So what's happening? Are the two parties so bribed by lobbying efforts that democracy is canceled on this topic?

If the doctor prescribed it, it shouldn’t be the insurance company’s decision to deny it. That’s how it works in most countries.
Too bad it’s expensive, but that’s why people pay a lot more than $60/yr for insurance.

You need consensus either to convict, or to _declare_ someone not guilty.

In the US there is an important distinction between the presumption of innocence, and its declaration in a court of law.

Someone with a hung jury or mistrial is still presumed not guilty by the law, but may be tried again for the same crime, because the prohibition against double jeopardy only applies to those cleared of a charge, which mistrials don't do.

In this case, it's a hard guarantee that a mistrial would be tried again. So yes, you would need consensus in a jury to prevent the conviction from eventually occurring, because there's no realistic chance of it happening twice.

It won't happen once either, but even if it did, it won't happen twice.
Aha, I had missed that! Thanks.

The Rules of Programming (2023)
Well, there are many solutions but none of them works because politicians are in bed with insurace/hospitals/pharmacy.
I agree with the problems. I'm a bit uninformed, but in theory ending privatization isn't the only option, right? Hasn't there been problems with corruption in centralized healthcare as well? It seems like regulation could be an option (though I know that it has its own trade-offs as well).

Also, healthcare isn't the only industry suffering this pain though obviously a very important one.

Also, there's a question of how much of this is a cultural problem. How has this sort of thing been addressed in the past? Is the same solution even possible now with the power imbalance created with the current state of capitalism and technology?

I don't really have an opinion on that one way or another, but in modern society the current working generation pays for the last generation's retirement. We literally need the next generation to be productive and pay taxes. If they're too busy doing economically unproductive work, taxes on everyone who does work will go up and retirement benefits will go down.

As ridiculous as this comment will sound, a million dollars for a 40 year old with a family is not a lot of money these days. "Oh hell yeah, I've got a million in fungible assets" honestly doesn't mean much when it comes to ensuring your future. Yeah, yeah, you could buy a Lambo in cash, and many of us here on HN could... and we don't. Do you have a pension? No? That money is there to help you in the future, not in the present.

1. Cash it in.

2. Pay the taxes.

3. Pay off any high interest rate debt, like credit cards or home equity loans.

4. Put money in a college fund for your child.

5. Move where you want, hopefully with a lower cost of living. Then, do what you want you like for money. Feel free to take breaks, but keep things moving. (Note: you do not have enough to properly retire in the US unless there's more in your investment funds that you're not telling us about.)

6. Put the rest in index funds, target funds, and other real estate investments.

7. Live quietly and calmly.

That is all.
No, that's not how it works. Which countries work that way? Where can a doctor prescribe untested drugs and have it paid for?
Haha I even think I love cleaning up their puke because the constant stressors made me dumber.
If not makefile then what do you use for a project that has Python for backend and JavaScript for frontend? Does everyone learns all the tools or do you just provide a 'make lint' that works in all codebases?
The Mac mini G4 isn't really "retro". Maybe it is to you, but I doubt you'll see any G4 minis at the Vintage Computer Faire.
What is more interesting is the way people feel about this, obviously many people think the current healthcare situation is insane and malicious. But there is basically zero political will to change this situation. This maybe shows US isn’t really a democracy and more of an oligarchy at this point.
When the spot price of power makes it more profitable to sell power they’ll sell power. When it’s less profitable they’ll mine bitcoin. This makes a lot of power available when it’s needed. Not as good as deploying a grid-scale battery, but better than no wind power.

Absolutly no extras. I used to use SlickRun with is much more heavier tool, but I never ever used those extras. And since I started to using Desktops 2.0, I had to write my own tool that was aware of virtual desktops. Everything else I handle from bash (Cygwin).

> Now, cable and DSL networks are standardized enough that there's a good chance you can get a third-party one to work. It will be the same with PON in time.

It’s mostly the same with PON now. I’ve always had success with the FS.com PON SFPs, once I get the necessary information for the connection to program them with (the difficulty of which can vary from “ask the tech installing the connection nicely” to “take apart the ISP-provided CPE and solder wires to the debug console pads”).
It amazes me that people invest portions of their life savings on what amounts to a distributed IOU system with no actual backing.

Trump has promised to end social security and medicare. We can't believe anything he says, buy maybe ending medicare could somehow end private insurance and the indentured servitude of Americans? Currently most Americans have to be employed to have access to the worst system in the first world ...
For whatever reason most Americans use the word "customs" when they are, in fact, referring to immigration, when traveling internationally.

Everyone in the thread up to the point where you commented was talking about telegraph cables. I believe you when you indicate that you thought you had changed the subject back to something else, but you gave no indication that this had happened whatsoever.

The comment you're replying to:

> Because it takes 1 person, in an isolated spot to ruin a whole chunk of a network.

Is, in fact, about the telegraph network. Thus your objection to it is bootless, because it isn't true about the telegraph network, which is the topic of that comment. The fact that it's true of other things doesn't really matter, because most wrong statements might be correct if made about some other topic.
Joking. But there is some truth in every joke...
Does anyone know if the US military has a preference on Intel chips vs other manufacturers?

>no realistic chance of happening twice

This is where you lose me. If you have a hung jury that means you have at least an 11/12 chance of it happening again.
Nah, this is just moving the goalposts from "it's an Internet bubble" to "it's your personal bubble". I don't buy it.

Neo-*ism ideologies share a common myth - the myth of necessary order. This forms a contradiction that if enforced by more order will self-correct with stocastic violence. Sorry, but that's simply reality.
> Sports are good at distinguishing drills from practice

The military also. Individuals learn 'part task' drills (e.g. firing a tank gun), then practice them in a team environment (e.g. the different crew roles working together in a single tank) and then finally (in something fairly unique to the military) exercising collectively: multiple teams working together to achieve a common task. E.g. several tanks coordinating an attack, then adding in infantry, etc.
I think at this stage I would look to major in something that interests you and give you a degree you can immediately apply upon graduation (e.g. computer science) but take all the pre-med classes to keep that option open. But also, talk to people in the field, find out what they like/don't like and if they had to do it all over again, what they would do.d In the end though, it's really hard to optimize any given career path so don't put too much pressure upon yourself if you feel like you don't have a clear idea of what you want to do, just keep exploring as much as you can. As for what to do if your startup fails, you would either start another or get a job.
I don't know why you're being downvoted.

'rule of 3s' is way too simplistic. It is on the beginner level. 3 is an arbitrary number anyway. It can be any other number depending on the situation. And creating an abstraction from only one use can be valid. In particular this happens if something gets a bit big while talking to too many other things. E.g., a function receives RPC while also doing something with a piece of hardware, and both of these things are a bit non-trivial. These two things should then not be mixed even when it is the only function doing these two things. I will say though, that creating an abstraction from one example one should expect that some future improvements to the abstraction will most likely be necessary.
You are totally right but "convex" is a very strong assumption (so strong that the shape is determined by its harmonics). Very strong.
regulation is what caused this nonsense. there's no reason for our medical care to be inaccessible for most people in the US. it's sort of like kidnapping or enslaving the entire population who isn't rich.
Not to be a doomer, but we have very short attention span. News will move on roughly within 2 weeks once we have something more “fun” to discuss. Most of the NA capital understands this, so no change will be experienced. There are very rare exceptions, but if I was a betting guy, i’d bet against.
