What is trivial about this?


Absolutely agree. Pure clickbait.


Not to be confused with the other big warp rust project, https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/


Or CloudFlare's Warp, also using Rust.


It is dangerous, and the organization you linked to has been under heavy scrutiny for their so called "study".

> But it's too funky you say. Well, yes, bash can have its quirks. But we need some funk every now and then. Let's just embrace it!

My god, no, stop. Funkyness in production equals outages.


I'm not sure how bash is considered funky, it's nearly first class on all boxes. Nice thing about this tool you just use `script` type out your commands, copy it your modules and your done.


As bad as Ruby is, it’s still better than Bash and you can do all the same effortless execution of random commands in your script like you would in bash. If one can’t be bothered to write it in a real language like Rust or even Python, you could at least do Ruby.


What makes python more of a real language than ruby?


It’s more mainstream for tools like this.


Please explain. Have you heard of chef? That is ruby and it can be beautiful. Chef > Ansible. Chef server is meh.


The point wasn’t that Python is better than Ruby, they are about the same IMO. The point was they are both better than Bash, and Ruby actually makes it super convenient to write bash-like scripts, so there’s no excuse to not be using Ruby.


Eh.. Puppet? [ed: and chef..]


Python and Ruby are both functionally equivalent in my book. The difference is prevalence; for systems tools, Python is more common because it comes installed by default with more Linux distros and in my experience anyways, is faster to respond to breaking upstream issues and build failures, which is almost certainly just due to more widespread usage. I have nothing against Ruby, it’s a pretty language and does what you need and has good metaprogramming support. Just saying for a tool you want lots of people to adopt, it’s more mainstream to choose Python.


Right. I just can't think of a more mainstream tool in this space than puppet - that's why I thought your statement seemed odd.


Yeah, I was thinking more broadly about systems utilities rather than specifically state management.


Ruby has fallen by the wayside in recent years largely because its lunch has been eaten by Python and JavaScript, but mostly by happenstance, not as a result of the merits of the language itself. Ruby has comparable speed and arguably more robust niceties for building complex software vs. Python. See, e.g., https://leanpub.com/combinators https://computationbook.com/ https://www.toptal.com/ruby/ruby-metaprogramming-cooler-than...


When it comes to server admin the libraries available for Ruby is miles ahead of anything available for Python.


Olive oil is not that good for you, and most importantly, it burns at really low temperatures, and ends up tasting horrible when it happens.


Why respond with begging the question and then bringing up something totally irrelevant?

Olive oil doesn't have trans fat, is low in omega-6 (unlike seed oils), has a high ratio of monunsaturated fats to saturated and polyunsaturated fats, and has a bunch of vitamins and antioxidants as well. It's pretty much the healthiest fat in existence.


That's actually very incorrect and misleading. Olive oil, expecially extra virgin olive oil, can withstand higher temperatures than sunflower, peanut and the like. IIRC the smoke point for EVO is around 210C. You could literally fry in olive oil, it's just too expensive to do so.


Where are you getting your data from? I'm an avid cook and have always thought EVOO to be a low smoke point oil, especially compared to something like peanut oil.

I did a quick search and found this: https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/05/cooking-fats-101-whats-a...

which suggests that EVOO has a relatively low smoke point compared to sunflower and peanut oil.

I'm still open to other numbers though, since I'm not sure what study if any these numbers come from.


I've exclusively fried stuff in EVOO all my life. I fill my deep fryer with EVOO. It's perfectly fine.


You could literally fry in olive oil, it's just too expensive...

Depends on where you are. If in the USA, maybe it is, and be prepared for much worse: Mr. Trump is threatening with 25% minimum tariff for our oil. Funny that it's some kind of retaliation for Airbus, while Airbus finally will be spared. In the bright side, it should be even cheaper for us.


They could use avocado oil. It has a smoke point of 500F. Should be fine for searing.


That's patently false. There is no proof whatsoever that olive oil is not good for you. Every study on extra virgin cold pressed olive oil shows it is associted with increased longevity. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17879997

The low temperature smokepoint scaremongering for olive oil has been debunked: https://health.usnews.com/wellness/food/articles/why-you-sho...


Postbox does not have a Linux version. That kills it for me.


Here are all the registrars that support ws: https://www.website.ws/registrars.dhtml


ah, thank you! didn't occur to me to go to .ws itself.


I don't think this is written with purely the technical people in mind.

It is written for the people that don't know better and believe end-to-end encryption will always be safe, even though Facebook controls the source code and therefore can do whatever they want.
