US immigration enforcement using military hardware and tactics on civilians

Private Equity Tightens Its Grip on Outpatient Surgery

Instead, they are owned by private equity investment firms, and the physicians and nurses are employees of those firms.

46 Mapas debaixo do sol!

“O #JornalMAPA 46 sai para as ruas já com um partido fascista como segunda força política no parlamento da democracia representativa e não podia deixar de olhar para esse fenómeno, assim como ao à vontade da extrema-direita grupuscular. Por outro lado, porque é quando se fecham portas que se abrem janelas, decidimos focar especialmente em lugares de dissidência. A luta queer é um dos exemplos da importância de reclamar a origem utópica e radical das resistências. E hoje, contra o pinkwashing dos EuroPrides, afirma-se a solidariedade com a Palestina, que nunca será esquecida.
Neste mundo e num país em que o autoritarismo ganha força, importa manter um olhar sobre quem procure activamente fazer a sua vida de outro modo cultivando a autonomia. Nesse ponto não podíamos deixar de destacar o recém-saído documentário «Agroecologia em movimento», de João Garrinhas, um retrato sobre o movimento português das Associações para a Manutenção da Agricultura de Proximidade (AMAP), sobre grupos auto-organizados de produtorxs e consumidorxs. Entrevistamos, ainda neste contexto, a nova revista Poucaterra, que pugna por acesso à terra, agroecologia e convivialidade (uma leitura a juntar à revista Flauta de Luz, com o nº 11 já nas livrarias).”

18 rules of Software Engineering

1. You will regret complexity when on-call
   
2. Stop falling in love with your own code
   
3. Everything is a trade-off. There’s no “best” 3. Every line of code you write is a liability 4. Document your decisions and designs
   
4. Everyone hates code they didn’t write
   
5. Don’t use unnecessary dependencies
   
6. Coding standards prevent arguments
   
7. Write meaningful commit messages
   
8. Don’t ever stop learning new things
   
9. Code reviews spread knowledge
   
10. Always build for maintainability
    
11. Ask for help when you’re stuck
    
12. Fix root causes, not symptoms
    
13. Software is never completed
    
14. Estimates are not promises
    
15. Ship early, iterate often
    
16. Keep. It. Simple.
    

Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed – but this doesn’t “add” to the program. Don’t use “software is never done” as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You don’t need to change the directory first in line 11, you can just create the directory, that’s sufficient since you’re having an absolute path.

The echo in line 13 is useless, you can simplify this to: newdir="$WD/$now" If you reversed this line with the previous one, you could make use of the variable in the directory creation: mkdir "$newdir".

In line 16, pull the directory change out of the loop upfront. The loop body doesn’t modify the working directory, so no need to reset it with each cycle. In fact, you could even spare the cd altogether when you simply tell find where to look: find "$basedir" -type f….

I didn’t try it, but if I read the manpage correctly, you should be able to simplify line 19 as well:

-C Change to DIR before performing any operations. This option is order-sensitive, i.e. it affects all options that follow.

Hence, remove the cd and put the -C "$WD" as the first argument to tar. Again, I didn’t try it. Proceed with caution.

Finally, you don’t need to specify the full path to rm in line 21. I bet, /bin is in your PATH. When you removed the previous cd from my last suggestion, the relative path that follows won’t work anymore. So, just use the absolute path that you already have in a variable: rm -rf "$newdir"

And on a similar note, cross-post from Mastodon:

What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it can degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.

My website isn’t spectacular but I don’t think it looks horrible, either. And it’s still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:

• Some blog post in various browsers
  
• Git repo viewer (stagit)
  
• Older photos of WfW 3.11
  

It’s not perfect, but it’s usable. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.

The biggest sacrifice is probably that I don’t enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)

(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. 🤪)
