til you don't need to store sendemail.smtppass in your .gitconfig because it will fetch it from
git-credential
git-credentialcan invoke various helpers to obtain the password:
- a normal password dialog (
ssh-askpass)- from a cleartext file (
git-credential-store)- from a cache (
get-credential-cache)* from other helpers, extensible with scripts!so i can totally make git automatically use my favorite password manager https://www.passwordstore.org/

It seems for every post I see critical of ML generators, there's a population of people who come by to defend these business practices:
"It's good as our country will be a leader in ML generation." [weird misplaced nationalism].
"ML generators are only doing what people have always done." [expectation that exploiting labor is the norm and good].
"There's nothing we can do anyway." [learned hopelessness].
"It's inevitable." [completely mistaken]

interesting:
“… a meta-analysis showed that greater screen use was associated with decreased language skills, whereas screen time spent on educational programs was associated with increased language skills…. Because it is difficult to limit screen time in general in today’s world of electronic devices, it may be beneficial to identify and limit the screen time aspects that are associated with developmental delays while taking advantage of the educational aspects… the information we collected did not allow us to separate educational screen time from other types of screen time. Doing so may have helped us in examining the association between screen time and child development while considering both positive and negative aspects of screen time.”

‘the United States is left with two undesirable options, according to researchers at RAND Corporation, a think tank that has run a series of war game exercises for the Pentagon.
If the Navy ships choose to approach China, many will be hit by Chinese missiles and damaged if not destroyed, resulting in lost U.S. ships and casualties on a scale unseen since World War II… Alternatively, the ships will stay hundreds or even thousands of miles from the area, making it much harder for Navy aircraft or missiles to reach their targets… “What it comes down to is, in many cases, the Navy surface fleet doesn’t play a major role”’

our Navy seems wedded to the last century, and needs to prepare for the *next* conflict rather than the last one:
“Operating on a budget that was less than the cost of fuel for one of the Navy’s big ships, Navy personnel and contractors had pieced together drone boats, unmanned submersible vessels and aerial vehicles capable of monitoring and intercepting threats over hundreds of miles of the Persian Gulf, like Iranian fast boats looking to hijack oil tankers.
Now they are pleading for more money to help build on what they have learned.”

“Defend Texas Liberty, the pro-Paxton political action committee, has spent another $3.5 million since the impeachment vote, almost all of it donated by Mr. Dunn and Mr. Wilks. Most of the money went to the campaign of the lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, who leads the State Senate and will be presiding over the impeachment trial: a $1 million contribution and a $2 million loan.”

“In May, a majority of Republicans in the House joined with Democrats to impeach Mr. Paxton, disturbed by his conduct in office — including longstanding allegations of corruption and a criminal indictment for securities fraud — and his effort to obtain $3.3 million in state funding to settle a lawsuit brought against him by some of his senior aides, who became whistle-blowers.”

It's a pity that Mastodon lacks quote tweets, but in addition to the post I boosted yesterday, I just wanted to say my own thanks for #DTrace reaching 20.
I use it all the time, and struggle when working on other systems that do not have it. Only yesterday I wrote a quick script to verify a code path that lead to this fix: https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/def71d1c1f988e3a2cf3bb86716a2937ce6f48fc.
It has found significant performance wins in #pkgsrc and #pkgin, fixed numerous bugs, and helped me understand systems.
Thanks @bcantrill and @ahl!
