Currently there are no builds, even for linux, kitty runs directly from source code (modulo some C code used for performance) :)

As for windows support it should be relatively easy to get it running unser WSL (windows subsytem for linux) Even for a more general approach -- replacing mitty -- it should be possible, with more work.
As long as we're talking about terminals:

1) TERM is broken: https://www.facebook.com/notes/daniel-colascione/term-is-ter...

2) We need to start adding capabilities to terminfo again --- see the incredible mess in bracketed paste support, true color support, etc.

3) TIOCSTI is a giant truck-sized security hole. We need to stop supporting it.
If you're developing a web app, you can share code between the frontend and backend and still use the JVM on the backend.
I disagree.

- Partisanship in Congress has resulted in a government so dysfunctional that it's been shut down. We can't trust people who can't even keep the government running to watch over services so accustomed to keeping everyone in the dark.

- The committee may have been effective during the cold war but in recent times, the NSA was engaged in mass surveillance for while this committee was in place and it took an internal whistleblower for it to come to light.

- The head of the NSA lied to Congress. The oversight committee can't oversee if they can't get the truth.

You might be able to argue that this is a solution but you most definitely cannot argue that it's a good solution when it's recently been proven to be ineffective.

Inaccurate Muni Wait Time Predictions Will Continue for Weeks in Major Glitch
I think there's a reason lots of famous billionaires keep working. I've been hearing from my parents how boring retirement is, and from my own experiences of extended vacations I've come to the conclusion we evolved to work.

"Man's Search for Meaning" by Frankl graphically illustrates the importance of having a sense of purpose, which I think a lot of people lack when they retire to live the dream of doing nothing.

I think the key is to be able to choose not to have to work for some asshole boss, or do work you don't generally enjoy.

I've become very disillusioned by the dream of insane wealth and the ability to retire early. Instead, I want to work on something I feel will make a difference and that interests me for the foreseeable future.
We all the know there is a solution to mass shooting in US. It's just that politicians and people fancy about gun way too much and like to keep a gun at hand for "safety"

Does this mean every single application binary compiled with go in the wild up until today has a memory corruption bug?

If so, it's going to take some effort for this bug to be weeded out in every single deployment around the world...
> So nothing wrong with the audio jack, it's just that exporting it from the phone usually makes for a better user experience.

I feel like "usually" is a kind of a big leap here, since there's been exactly one phone to do this, and the verdict is still out about whether it's a "better user experience".

> Ultimately earphones should not be tied to a device but thought of as tied to your head and be able to switch between your devices seamlessly.

That's exactly what we had before when every single device had a headphone jack. I'm not sure having my headphones work normally on most devices but then randomly need a dongle for another is "seamless".
Sam, for the software engineers out there that want to become entrepreneurs. How important is it for them to learn about the business aspects to make connections and learn about business problems?

I don't disagree with this, but in the long haul, life is richer and more complex.

I have a bachelors degree in "The History and Philosophy of Science" and w.r.t. CS am completely self taught. My first job (20 years before bootcamps!) I got mostly on the grounds of knowing a modicum of C and marginally better than high-school math. That wasn't the hottest software company out there, but it was a great apprenticeship for me. After 3-4 years I moved on, to a startup with marginally higher standards which was then acquired by Microsoft.

I'm currently a Principal Engineer at Amazon, I regularly use and apply the deeper CS canon that many people that I have interviewed over the years seem to have forgotten since they studied CS. One of Amazon's leadership principles is "Learn and Be Curious" -- which is not a bad maxim for doing well regardless of your educational background.
Dino Esposito describes an "historical" crud System in a series in msdn magazine https://msdn.microsoft.com/magazine/mt703431
This is basically ES with crud. Not saying ES with crud is the best example, but for data which requires Audit Trail logic it actually works fairly well.
I think it's a cool project, but I personally wouldn't use it because it lacks a feature I expect terminal emulators to have and am not motivated to change how I use my computer. Other people may be happy with this program. If someone implements the feature I want some day, then I might use it as well.

I'm sorry if I came across as overly critical of the project, that wasn't my intent. I just think they're limiting their audience by assuming that a feature that isn't important to the developers is unimportant to users because a workaround exists that the developers are satisfied with. People really don't like to change how they do things, regardless of whether the way they're doing them now is "the right way" or "the best way". Maybe they're making the right decision and everyone really should be using tmux, and if so, great, they'll have have a community of happy users. If their target audience is someone other than me, I'm okay with that.

My limited understanding of the whole thing is that journald use a chain of signatures to verify journal integrity.

Meaning that the first key is used to sign a new key that signs the journal entry and the next key that sign yet another key and entry etc etc etc. And that by having the initial key handy one can at any time walk through the journal to verify that it has not been tampered with.

The whole QR thing it there to allow a would be admin to quickly transfer the initial key to their smartphone or similar by scanning the code.

As for Torvalds being a Fedora user, my impression is that his usage needs are fairly modest these days. He spends most days reading emails via gmail, and approve commits to the kernel code housed on the kernel.org servers.
Why do you care about being scanned, though?
Not at all, just noting the difference. I don't expect this to have much of a chance in comparison with more elaborate, mature libraries; like the one you suggested.
Let me be honest, I am winging a lot of this because you guys are asking great questions. I think I am either not expressing our plan adequately or it is a bad plan. I don't know, its late friday night and I have been having a couple of drinks after a hard week.

We are going to end up rewriting things with better practices. This is something that HAS to happen. Its not the first thing we are going to do though. We need to build a userbase in the cheapest, quickest, easiest way possible. Not having to scrap everything, getting a more stable shop with new features is attractive to people.

I am purely looking at this from a business sense. Yes, we can take the code, we can convert it over 6 months to be something totally different, more robust, better designed, just bad ass code. In that time we can miss the window and not have as many shops migrate over to our platform. Thats not a good strategy in my mind. I see great ideas all the time on GH that have been abandoned because they are not profitable. We are trying to cut a middle line deal here in the beginning. We want to make a profit to pay for expenses and we want to give merchants what they want.

Once you have users in a platform it is easier to get them into a big upgrade than to try to get users from scratch, or get the to migrate. I realize (I think) you are looking at this from a purely code / application development stand point. Look at it from a business stand point. Merchants generally look at two things when evaluating a platform. Is my payment gateway accepted and are my shipping options accepted. If we break these things out the gate we will either be stuck writing all of these modules, or we will just lose those customers. On the other hand if we get them to migrate and have a grand plan later, the agencies and companies that keep up these modules will rewrite them. I am trying to mix logical business with logical development to come up with a successful plan.
Yup. Science has become somewhat like a religion for those who like to think logically. In the end, they can no more step out of their logical thinking than the zealots can step out of their faith based thinking. Both become dogmatic and a crutch...

+1 and I agree and I personally run linux on my desktop, but I will say that if you buy your laptop from microsoft directly at least they do a good job of making sure that the only crapware pre-loaded is from microsoft, even if otherwise the same model laptop you'd get from any other store that comes with crapware from anyone willing to pay a few bucks.

>We all the know there is a solution to mass shooting in US.

No, "we" don't.

The article states "Ever since guns entered the country, Japan has always had strict gun laws" but the US already has guns everywhere. Getting all those guns back is no easy task.

Also, Japan is an island so I assume border control is easier.

Great idea and I hope Alacritty continues to evolve because it should eventually be the fastest given the GPU integration. However, st is faster on my system, supports bitmap fonts like SGI screen, handles true color, works when no GPU is present, has half the LoC, and has less dependencies.
I don't know, people have plenty of weapons in the U.S., and the person who won the presidency by 3 million votes still didn't take office. Yet in the U.K. where few people have guns, the people voted for Brexit and they will get one. It sounds like gun ownership level is inversely proportional to democracy level to me.
You don't need to implement this in the terminal. You can bind macros to keys in anything that uses readline. Search for "inputrc" and the READLINE section in bash(1). While this is usually used for binding builtin functions (i.e. editing, history), you can simply provide the literal expansion.

# in ~/.inputrc
$if Bash
# <f12> - find this with "<Control-v>{KEY}"
"\e[24~": "sh \"${HOME}\"/path/to/swap_config.sh
"
# (the newline is included, which is
# usually bound to accept-line)
$endif

The string indicating the key to binding to (left of the ":") can change depending on the environment (terminal, os, etc), so use <Control-v> to investigate what is actually being sent by the terminal into readline.
There probably is some utility in the belief of an Inscrutable Creator. We are curious, rational beings and we like to understand causal chains. There is intrinsic value in this understanding, and also extrinsic value, as this sort of understanding is the basis for human innovation in society. God is a pleasant enough non-terminating terminus to all causal chains, and His Inscrutability allows us to not worry too much about difficult questions. Of course, the entire Universe is a single physical process moving through spacetime, an unchanging sculpture embedded in 4 dimensions.

Each of us are carving an eternal (if minuscule) shape during our lives. All we ever do, all we ever can do, is move atoms and electrons around (intentional motion of our body against the resisting world) yet we arise from moving atoms (unintentional motion of our body, e.g. at the cellular and atomic level).

BTW our self awareness has only one possible good purpose: to do what no other life could do, could ever do, which is escape the bonds of gravity, and spread life beyond earth. If that is not possible, then our species, and all life we know of, will perish on this planet, in the long run if we're smart, in the short run if we're stupid. But space travel, even trips that are very close, are incredibly difficult and expensive. The solar system is likely out of human reach. Interstellar travel is likely out of reach even for hardy, intelligent robots.

So you have to come back, once again, to the value of the Inscrutable First Cause, which is: relax. You're gonna die someday, your sculpture will be closed off, but your carving it every day, including right now. Enjoy it! Make fun shapes!

RTS doesn't work with Controller (without simplifying the gameplay, which would sucks, aka no base building, not hundreds of things to manage, see Halo Wars 1 and C&C 4). But Mouse, Touch, voice and gestures works fine.

Rise and Fall (the spiritual successor of Empire Earth), was a good RTS that allowed one to zoom-in and play in 3rd person with one's hero character (similar to Dungeon Keeper).

Battlezone (1998) was interesting too - first person shooter combined with RTS incl base building, similar was C&C Renegade. And Operation Flashpoint 1 (2001, now called AMA) had such a mode too.

But playing complex games like Watch Dogs 2 on PS4 nowadays, which has similar mechanics with the hacking tool and the quadcopter (you can control cars and what not while steering an quad copter while playing a third person character) - I am the opinion that nowadays, a complete non-simplified RTS would work on consoles just fine, even with a controller.

As a tmux+vim user, this hits right home for me. I never use terminal tabs and do almost everything inside tmux.

The only time during development I use a other app is when I start neovim-qt, just so I have faster rendering and squeeze even more performance out of it. If Alacritty is giving me the same speed without me having to spawn a graphical vim for it, sign me up!

I'm going to try this as my main tool for a couple of days and collect some feedback :)

I am using firefox with pentadactyl, and the firefox is configured as a minimal terminal like st. Basically, firefox becomes my GUI terminal. But what I want is a much lighter weight GUI terminal than firefox.

I am using three terminals, st for regular use. mlterm for its image support (sixel). and firefox for heavy-GUI needs. Alacrity seems perfect to replace st now.

Thanks for good work.

Those constituents were, statistically and historically, in far greater support of gun control and far less armed.

Have you tried the nVidia OpenGL 2016 driver?

https://developer.nvidia.com/opengl-driver

As far as I can tell, the GTX 460 supports up to OpenGL 4.4.
Yup, not compromised at all. Nothing to see here, carry on!!
This isn't your fault, but nVidia often doesn't update their product pages for older products even if they release new drivers that support newer versions of OpenGL on older products. The GTX 460 supports up to OpenGL 4.4 according to wikipedia, and I've found driver release notes that officially mention OpenGL 4.3 for the GTX 460.
I am of limited knowledge regarding micro-kernels.

As i have come to understand there is one successful such kernel out there, QNX. And that while both the OSX/iOS and Windows NT kernel started out as a micro design, both Apple and Microsoft have been moving things in and out of the kernel proper as they try to balance performance and stability (Most famously with Windows, the graphics sub-system).
If I remember correctly, doesn't Apple's Siri get trained to your voice so other people don't activate it? It only seems appropriate for Amazon to make sure only specific voices are associated with purchasing rights or else kids will just be ordering anything. There really should have been some sort of authentication method for sensitive things like this.
Those conviction rates are due to how they ignore the rights of defendants as you said and also how they browbeat suspects into confessing to doing something they didn't do. The accounts of that browbeating I've read/watched about are inhumane.

Their society has aspects to it that are suppressive and don't tolerate younger people questioning older people.

Violence through other means like knives seems to be increasing (correct me on that if I'm wrong).

The work hours they put force employees to go through is apparently taking it's toll on their society.

I'm predicting we'll see more issues in their society. I'd be glad to be wrong but they do have social issues to take care of just like most other countries.
I suggest you get educated about the real reasons why gun violence is rampant in the US.

One thing i like about Vivaldi is that i can set a whole UI scaling factor. Because this makes it easy to adapt for touch input (just crank the factor up until the elements are of a practical size).

Just wish it didn't have frequent issues with touch screens on my Windows tablet, leading to it not responding to any input until i switch to different window and back.

Also, it never seems able to bring up the on-screen keyboard when tapping input areas on sites. But it comes up (unless the previously mentioned unresponsiveness kicks in) when tapping the url field.

look i understand your struggle. but you will HAVE to make a call.
your points below about "not having to worry about zero days like wordpress" and "not having an MVC" is incompatible with your statemnt of "we will do bugfixes for next 6 months and go from there".

I would even go to the extent of questioning any success you think you will have with the bugfix approach.

Prestashop inc has 9 million USD of funding. Your reason of existence will vanish the day that Prestashop fixes the few bugs that you have. What do you think will happen then ? Will you yourself continue on this fork... or will you say "oh well, the Paypal module works on prestashop 1.7 again"

If you are doing this, then do this for the reason you want to do it subconsciously - all the MVC stuff you are dreaming about.

>Once you have users in a platform it is easier to get them into a big upgrade than to try to get users from scratch, or get the to migrate.

There is zero incentive to stay. The advantages of your "new" platform are so minimal that people will instead make and buy new plugins for 1.7 . In fact sorry for being blunt, but the existence of your fork is just as long as it takes for all agencies to port their code to Prestashop 1.7.

If your users migrate, they will force you to never break compatibility. So you will basically become Prestashop 1.8 . There is no possibility of a grand plan later.
