Because LE keeps a mapping of account ids to emails and public keys. You have to have the private key to the ACME account to issue a cert. The cryptography is still there but the dance is done by certbot behind the scenes. Prior to this acc

Forgive me, are you not proposing to roll these subsidies out everywhere? Because yeah, someone can afford their tuition on minimum wage if they get a full ride scholarship too but that's hardly a solution to the student loan crisis un

Fully accurate article, can confirm that it works really well. Don't need an MCP sever for Linear when the agent knows how to use the already there GraphQL API. The models already have decades of knowledge of how to use the Linux users

Right, so broadly the solution you're proposing is subsidies. University will be cheaper from the perspective of the student but we don't actually undergo any meaningful cost cutting it's just the money comes from somewhere e

I think this is the strongest disagreement I have gotten from someone who understands my point completely and agrees with it. This is exactly why I'm saying that university can be made orders of magnitude less expensive is because the

Your argument is basically that current university costs are intrinsic and can't possibly be reduced but we know that isn't true. We have not two generations ago people paying for their college tuition with money from their part t

I think the point wound be to eliminate all borrowing for tuition. It would be drastic and universities would complain the whole time but band-aid has to be ripped off at some point. I don't think a solution other than welding shut the

You get in contact with the current maintainers and talk to them. Real human communication is the only shibboleth that will survive the AI winter. Those soft skills muscles are about to get a workout. Tell them about what you use the softwa

Signaling happens whether you choose to do it on purpose or bo not. The people who are best at it don't do intentionally. The busy CEO is signaling status with this form of writing, they're so important and so many people demand t

You can't control others, you can only control your response to them. How people perceive you is a comprehensive and isn't always based in logic. You can use this to your advantage and take control of your own narrative or not. Bu

I really like how the shell and regular API calls has basically wholesale replaced tools. Real life example of worse-is-better working in the real world. Just give your AI agent a little linux VM to play around that it already knows how to

It's not rationalizing, this is what they mean. It's always been meat, specifically beef. And policy wise it's opposed to laws and initiatives that end subsidies for beef, seek to discourage red meat consumption, or account f

At this point it's just boring to have another rich asshole using government to protect their own interests. There's no substance or principle to it, it's just whatever policies makes CA more favorable to other rich assholes.

The use of inflection point in the entire software industry is so annoying and cringy. It's never used correctly, it's not even used correctly in the Claude post everyone is referencing.

I think I would just as soon drop the natural label entirely because it's meant to sound healthier without actually being any healthier. It seems like the only two states that matter are did you add coloring to the product, or not. Sam

I mean a dev tool that's seemingly failing to resonate with developers as to why they would pay for this is a pretty good way to tell if it's going to fall in the 1%. The Dropbox take was wrong because they didn't understand

Well they don't call it being a wage slave for nothing. You aren't getting a raise because you're still selling the same 40-60 hours of your time. If the business is getting productivity wins they'll buy less time via la

The LLMs are fantastic at writing terraform when you tell it what to do which is a huge timesaver, but good heavens is it terrible at actually knowing what pieces need to be wired up for anything but the simplest cases. Job security for now

You can tell this whole thing will be a nothingburger on the government side because the only thing she can actually do is pull in some CEOs to (not) answer questions and receive a congressional tsk tsk.

And installing a .deb package is equivalent to executing arbitrary code as root so I'm not sure what this actually buys you in security terms. I would love for folks to start packaging their software for major distros if for no other r
