glennpratt··on The price of a Costco hot dog has gone up
Same here.
glennpratt··on Waymo blocking ambulance during deadly Austin shooting
Nobody gets arrested, you get a ticket.
glennpratt··on Automatic K8s pod placement to match external service zones
Comparing systemd and Kubernetes for this scenario is like comparing an apple tree to a citrus grove.

You can specify just about anything, including exact nodes, for Kubernetes workloads.

This is just injecting some of that automatically.

I'm not knocking systemd, it's just not relevant.

glennpratt··on ADHD drug treatment and risk of negative events and outcomes
I agree, except I've been much happier with Wellbutrin. After getting through the initial insomnia a few years ago and switching to normal release, not extended, I have good focus and don't have tremors or back pain like I did with stimulants.
glennpratt··on Covert Web-to-App Tracking via Localhost on Android
> do Android "business profiles" also include browser sessions

I believe that is typical.

My business profile has it's own instance of Chrome. Mostly used for internal and external sites that require corporate SSO or client certificates. Of course it could be used to browse anything.

glennpratt··on The Headlight Brightness Wars
The Elantra N is not electric.
glennpratt··on Vista Equity writes off PluralSight value, after $3.5B buyout
I'm not GP, but perhaps something like the following would be a reason (investigation might be a more accurate term than post-mortem in that case).

>In October 2020, Vista's CEO Robert F. Smith and investor Robert T. Brockman were named in a tax evasion case.[33][34] That month, Smith signed a non-prosecution agreement with the IRS, agreeing to pay $139 million and testify against Brockman.[33]

glennpratt··on New startup sells coffee through SSH
Aha, yes, `-o IdentityAgent=/dev/null` is better for my intent. I was confused that `-i` wasn't removing .ssh/id_rsa from the candidates, but that was ssh-agent.

  ssh -a -i /dev/null -o IdentityAgent=/dev/null terminal.shop
That looks pretty solid. Thanks!
glennpratt··on New startup sells coffee through SSH
I'm curious why you added `-i /dev/null`. IIUC, this doesn't remove ssh-agent keys.

If you want to make sure no keys are offered, you'd want:

  ssh -a -o IdentitiesOnly=yes terminal. Shop
I'm not sure if the `-i` actually prevents anything, I believe things other than /dev/null will still be tried in sequence.
glennpratt··on USPS jumps to first place as most imitated brand in phishing attacks
US is 15th in median wealth and it's population exceeds the 14 countries ahead combined. That's a big target.

Your question seems like a false dichotomy.

glennpratt··on Paris cycling numbers double in one year thanks to investment
I pack some backup clothes (undershirt, underwear, socks), they mostly stay in my bike bag because I rarely use them. If I do need them, I just go to the bathroom, then change back into the bike clothes for the ride home. If it's really hot, I might switch it up and put the office clothes in the bag from the start - meaning I know I'll need a change.

Really not that complicated.

glennpratt··on Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
> Zed supports GitHub Copilot out of the box, and you can use GPT-4 generate or refactor code by pressing ctrl-enter and typing a natural language prompt. https://zed.dev/

Seems like that ship has sailed. Maybe it's a plugin already or could be in the future, but that's not on GP's suggestion.

glennpratt··on Why I didn't play this harpsichord sooner
I don't think it's comparing LA to anything other than their Adventist upbringing.
glennpratt··on An Open Letter to the Python Software Foundation
> the foundation likely being an US nonprofit, so integrating foreigners in the board may be extremely difficult.

As far as I know, it's not a problem. At first glance, PSF board and officers bios appear fairly international currently.

A foreign controlled, foreign benefitting organization that sends nearly all contributions to foreign organizations might not be tax exempt in the US, but that doesn't sound like the PSF.

glennpratt··on Why aren't motherboards mostly USB-C by now? (2021)
The dirt cheap mechanical keyboard I just bought is USB-C. Which was great, because I didn't need an adapter.
glennpratt··on FCC imposes record penalty against transnational illegal robocalling operation
When my doctor calls, I cannot get a call back through their system, I've tried, and I don't have a list of their outgoing numbers.
glennpratt··on Electric Mercedes-Benz drove 747 miles without recharging, 2x Tesla's Model S
> an EV is very compelling as a secondary vehicle

This is a strange way to think about it. Our secondary vehicle has a huge gas tank and other things we need rarely. Our primary vehicle has what we need day to day, just enough seats for the family and space for groceries.

glennpratt··on Google's most ridiculous trick to force users into adding phone number
It does make sense from one perspective I've seen. Scammers are using 2FA to lock people out of their own accounts and demand a ransom for the tokens. Happened to a friend of mine a couple months ago.
glennpratt··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
Sounds like trash, but then that's not relevant to what I said.
glennpratt··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
I'll give you FSD, but autopilot makes sense to me as someone familiar with aviation.
glennpratt··on The Windows 11 taskbar is an annoying step backward
I'm one of the few who couldn't care less. I just want it hidden, same with the dock on macOS.

Use the keyboard to launch and switch apps.

glennpratt··on No amount of alcohol is good for the heart, says World Heart Federation
"Involved in laws" doesn't really describe the CDC exactly, but whatever.

One example of many:

glennpratt··on How Much Does Education Improve Intelligence? A Meta-Analysis [pdf]
When I learned about early education a long time ago, the argument was not about boosting short term cognitive abilities, as in this study about IQ tests, but long term socioeconomic improvement (i.e. we heard about changes in graduation, employment and crime).

glennpratt··on Memory leaks are crippling my M1 MacBook Pro
Probably, this is my wife's computer.

We aren't attached to Apple, but finding build quality, battery life, high quality screen and likely to last 10 years is hard elsewhere.

glennpratt··on Memory leaks are crippling my M1 MacBook Pro
To replace the 2012 which was mostly OK, but had blown speakers.

I still have an Intel MBP provided by my employer. I don't keep a personal laptop, it would just gather dust 99% of the time.

glennpratt··on Memory leaks are crippling my M1 MacBook Pro
Lightroom Classic (latest version) is unpleasant on my wife's M1 and even crashes. Last night I moved it over to my gaming PC which is pretty old, but performs much better.

It ran on her 2012 Intel MBP and whatever dayjob MBP I had in the past.

glennpratt··on An Epic future for SPJ
Seems pretty clear companies are talking about "the metaverse" as broad concept.

glennpratt··on FDA advisory panel recommends Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine be authorized for children
Did I mention OSHA? I gather you don't like the particular policy, but that wasn't my point and I didn't know what context GP was concerned about. Other people were talking about Europe.

Also, for the OSHA rules, they allow for a testing.

glennpratt··on FDA advisory panel recommends Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine be authorized for children
I don't know where you are coming from, but there are many contexts in the US that required a flu vaccine in the past. And of course other vaccines.

The goal posts will move wherever it's convenient for antivax crowd.
