A new Florida law banning gender-affirming care for minors is getting a lot of attention nationally as Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis runs for president, but it's also impacting transgender adults. Children were the main focus of debate and coverage of the new law that DeSantis signed last month. However, it also includes restrictions on adult care. That's creating chaos for patients and providers in the state with what's estimated to be the nation's second-highest transgender population. Patients now have to be treated face-to-face by a medical doctor. Those restrictions have proved particularly onerous because many trans adults were seeing nurse practitioners and using telehealth.

Zsh itself is a speedy shell, but it’s all too easy to blindly add stuff to its startup scripts and prompt that drastically slow it down. I’ve been using Zsh since around 2002 (narrator: that’s over 20 years ago, which is making me feel really old!), and my Zsh config has accumulated a lot of cruft. A few years back, there was a very noticeable delay when opening a new terminal tab where I’d stare at a blank screen for a bit. And worse, typing commands felt very sluggish even when the commands executed quickly. Once I started digging into it, I found some great optimizations to make it fast, without losing any functionality. In fact, by the time I was done, I had a much better prompt than I previously had, yet it was orders of magnitude faster. If you don’t want to read the whole article, the single best thing you can do is to use Powerlevel10k. And the next best thing is to avoid using eval $(some other command), if possible. But read on for the details.
