bin_bash

as long as you're not doing conditionals and loops you probably won't be able to tell you're not using bash

personally I almost never put anything that complicated into my shell, once it gets to that point it goes into a script.

Nobody (I know) that uses fish actually writes scripts in fish. Everyone writes scripts in bash for portability.

you just push ctrl-r just like in zsh

I often see people complain about this but I seriously don't understand. The shebang at the top of a bash script will point to bash no matter what your shell is.

Too much Tao, not enough Go. Code samples!

I feel like I see them by security or food courts, not gates

most college towns, for example

I feel like it’d definitely help to know what the rules are. Might make it better to editorialize slightly and avoid having it happen automatically

Well for what it’s worth this certainly isn’t new

The submitted title might very well have been "This code smells of desperation.". HN has some strange rules that edit submitted titles like stripping "10" or "How to"

that tank thing isn't a great example, even blue collar folk could pretty easily afford some of them. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than a Disneyland hotel!

and it looks like they have 7 high speed lines coming from Paris. Seems the PNW could afford 1.

it's not for stability, it's because it doesn't require posts so it's cheap and quick

isn't molten salt quite a bit different?

lol I see a lot of tools using npm to distribute binary CLIs written in compiled languages: https://blog.orhun.dev/packaging-rust-for-npm/

people are way more likely to be setup with npm than they are with cargo

I stand corrected, strange I don't remember that. I don't think it hurt the storytelling at least.

Dunkirk didn't have any gimmicks like that so far as I can remember

WSJ really did a great job with this headline: https://www.wsj.com/articles/mark-zuckerberg-looks-to-delive...

Well they are memorable for the people that live in the area—at least that was the case when broadcast TV/radio was important. There really wasn't a need for them to be decipherable to outsiders since historically they would be outside of the broadcast range.

doesn't Tesla famously open source all of their patents?

I don't know what it is about this name but I just can't not read it as "enzo".

> this basically amounts to never deprecating anything at all

yeah, though from the perspective of a sysadmin I suspect this is what they would prefer

Parking rates simply needed to be higher, not dynamic.

Not saying dynamic pricing is not useful though.

sort of, yeah, Ticketmaster sort of sells "accountability as a service" so fans don't get mad at the artists.

I'm a centrist, but things like this push me further to the right personally. Governments can't charge what they ought to for parking/water and the people ultimately suffer the consequences.

99% Invisible did a podcast recently where they talked about a very similar issue: the privatization of parking meters in Chicago.

Parking meters have a similar problem. The purpose is for drivers to pay their fair share to use some real estate in a city, however the city and elected officials in charge have a vested interest to keep prices low. Nobody wants to be the mayor known for raising parking rates.

Privatization makes some sense in this case since a private company can actually make the meters charge closer to what parking should cost. However, it ended up being a pretty bad deal for Chicago in the end.

176 sounded so low to me I wasn’t sure if you were talking about for all sites or just HN alts.

A lot of people are questioning the value of using nvm in CI, but I think the main reason is just that the .nvmrc file is shared between dev/CI. It's a minor benefit, but still nice.

That said, rtx is so much simpler for this:

    curl https://rtx.pub/rtx-latest-linux-x64 > /usr/bin/rtx
    rtx install
    rtx x -- npm install
    rtx x -- npm run test

it'll automatically use the .nvmrc/.node-version file. If developers want to use nvm locally, they still can.

I've been here since launch (with different usernames), and I don't think it's meaningfully changed at all.

btw this is sort of mentioned in guidelines (see the last one)

The patronizing tone of "Falsehoods Programmers Believe" drives me crazy

everyone is complaining about this but I'm just really impressed that it's realistic to expect 200kw from inductive charging on a highway! That's cool! I don't care if it's practical.
