An alternative is using `direnv` and `.envrc` instead:

export TOKEN=$(op item get 'My Service' --fields label=token --vault workwork)

This reminds me of Dome of Visions, which has now come out in 3 iterations.

surething··on Ask HN: Is someone down-voting all my comments because they don't like me?
… would the overall "economics" of HN make sense if a down-vote cost 1 point of reputation, or some fraction thereof?

I think it'd be possible to inject this kind of thing into your code if you're just starting out with vim, aren't cognisant of all commands you invoke, and then copy/paste all code straight into a browser.

The newsworthiness of the piece is probablity in the rarity of Torvalds giving an interview.

surething··on Super Simple Mocking For Python
Agreed. I did the following:

    def __enter__(self):
        self.original = dict(self.obj.__dict__)
        self.obj.__dict__.update(self.mocks)
        return self

    def __exit__(self, typ, val, traceback):
        self.obj.__dict__ = self.original
This doesn't perform a deep copy, but prevents modifications on self.obj.__dict__ from modifying self.original also.

I can imagine the release coming after sufficient interest in the current legal proceedings against Assange die down, such that the leak obtains full attention.
surething··on Ask HN: Anyone using Python 3 in production?
The big holdback for my outfit is the lack of NumPy support.
