First, if I want to come up with a setup that includes a modern terminal emulator with lots of features, a decent number of extensions and plugins for things like zsh, etc..., I will INEVITABLY end up with a something that:

1) has way more input latency that it should have (iterm2, Ive had to just fall back to Terminal.app)

2) takes WAY too long to launch a new bash/zsh/whatever session if I split a window (cause parsing thousands of lines of autocomplete code written in bash, profiles, etc... is SLOW). Shit, just installing nvm and sourcing all its crap adds an easy 400ms to session start time.

3) works on one, maybe two platforms at best.

Second: I understand that using a terminal for everything is inevitably going to be less efficient that a UI in very specific scenarios, but this ends up being true way too often, and a large part of it is due to the CONSTANT need to parse/marshal/unmarshal output format of one program to get it right for input somewhere else. Some of that is the terminal's fault (along with the whole CLI ecosystem), but a lot of it is just cause there are 9000 different competing formats for human readable structured data. Powershell really tried to get this right, and I salute them for it.

Third: terminals have been around for a long time, and they've come up with their own conventions for keyboard shortcuts/etc... over the decades; I get it. But its time to just dump that baggage and default to whatever the standards for a particular OS are.

This is a lie. Bombardiers planes don’t compete with any Boeing planes.

Yet still Boeing flexed their lobbyists.
> It has been obscenely profitable over its lifetime

Exactly. And these obscene profits in a line where it had no competition were a problem for Airbus. A problem that has now disappeared.

> The A380 first flew in 2005 [2]. It has been a commercial disaster.

(a) It helped kill the "obscenely profitable" 747.

(b) It was a hedge in case airlines were going to stick with the hub-and-spoke model

(c) Slot constraints may only have a temporary reprieve
In addition, darktable has a newer perspective correction module which does a nice job of automatic fitting. See the write-up at https://www.darktable.org/2016/03/a-new-module-for-automatic....

I can't speak too much to the question of speed, except to say that my nice laptop from 2012 is sluggish with darktable. My decent desktop from 2017 is fairly fluid. Neither has a graphics card, but a decent graphics card with OpenCL support makes things much more fluid. Waiting a minute for a simple operation is not something I've experienced, and suggests, as they say, that something, somewhere, is wrong.

As another commenter writes, the problem is that darktable must do a crazy lot of math to display the image -- every step of the image editing process. There is a good bit of caching along the way, but at some point, the math must be done.
Don't do this. Most/ often enough the main difference between people is small.

My wife rolled her eyes when I told her I pre-ordered an Echo Dot.

When she actually saw it in action and found out I had only paid $50CAD for one, she told me to get another one.

I've only had Echo since Dec 5, but we're both becoming dependent on its convenience.
I haven't personally tried sticking an antenna through a wok (just putting one behind the router was enough for my purpose), but rumors say that you can achieve a range of several miles if you do it right.
Perfect example is my mother in law bought one for her husband. They then have to have us set it up and after asking it a knock knock joke or two end up hating it. I've observed that a lot of the over 50 crowd get the weather + news from the TV, while the technologically savy use the internet or a phone app already. Sure Alexa can do it, but it honestly isn't much more convenient than your phone which is easier to glance at visual data than listen for a couple of minutes as Alexa reads it off. There is a cool list of Easter eggs someone posted on Reddit like asking her to "beam me up", "set phasers to stun", or "Alexa I am your father". It has a neat SciFi choose your own adventure game, but they thought that was stupid. One thing that bothered me was Alexa couldn't say who made her other than "Amazon". The AIM chatbot smarterchild could even spit out a list. I wanted to hear a list of developers or something funny like the "marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation" (from hitchikers guide to the galaxy).

> I'm not talking about the medical treatment.
> My question was why do you believe those people need an external frame of reference to know whether those feelings are correct or not?

I don't know. I'm sure many genuinely feel this way and I'm sure there are those who pretend in order to fit in, but then again you can say that about anything.

What's in my opinion much more interesting is how to deal with it in the public forum. I think it's fair to require something more than just a subjective feeling in order to treat these people as being of the opposite sex, up to and including performing surgeries on them to make them look the part.

> You implied they do, but haven't explained why.

I can't possibly tell what people are thinking, I can only discuss what people say and do.

> that statement assumes your position on the issue in question. Is it like an eating disorder or not?

I think they are distinct conditions with distinct causes and treatments, but I think in both cases I think treatment should value physical facts over subjective feelings, which is an uncontroversial position for eating disorders, but a controversial one for gender dysphoria.

> I can't parse the meaning of this sentence.

I mean that even without an external frame of reference you do have a perfectly good internal one. Most people alternate between being hungry and not being hungry several times a day and know perfectly well what either feels like.

You can disconnect solar panels, yes. You can disconnect a windmill turbine from its generator too (what carries a small cost).

You can't just disconnect thermal solar generators, but shutting them down is relatively fast and cheap.

When the price goes negative, it's usually because consumption is smaller than the coal + nuclear supply.
> I wonder if we developers have a subconscious bias towards tougher way of building things instead of a much easier way.

That and the fact you we don't know everything that's possible and stick to what we know.

But, there is another side of the story: reusability is hard, plus similarity and equality are very different things. Generalizing a problem can be more or less productive depending of your situation. Also learning how to use something and bend it to your needs can be an mistake too on the long run.

Mix complexity, money, human factors in that and you get the average IT project.

Which is still awesome if you ask me. Current softwares have many warts, but they are so freaking amazing.

At the risk of starting a quasi-religious argument, the object-orientation of Powershell is one of the things I really like about it.
In Christianity, Jesus is God. There is a concept called Trinity which you can read about. Some Christians won’t make images of Jesus and some will.

Santa Claus is a folk tale version of a Christian who lived about 1500 years ago. I suppose you could argue that letting children “believe in Santa Claus” violates the first commandment. Not sure about the second.

I'm excited about notty [1], but I'm bummed the repo hasn't seen much action in awhile. I think the maintainer is on the Rust core team now. Some of its goals from the readme:

- Full support for rich text formatting, including 24-bits of color.

- Full and correct support for all of Unicode.

- Lossless keyboard input.

- Inline media content, including raster graphics and structured data.

- Dropdown menus, tooltips, and other features which do not strictly reside in the character grid.

- Local echo and retained off-screen character grid state to reduce the need for the tty to transmit data back to the terminal.

- Subdividing the character grid to enable more complex interface layouts without repeatedly reimplementing that logic in the controlling process.

It cites Gary Bernhardt's talk A Whole New World [2] as a major influence. There's an open issue in the tracker for the Alacritty terminal emulator to implement notty [3].

> Why do you think millions of people bought an Echo Dot or a Google Home? Not from YOUR perspective, but from the perspective of millions of people that seem to see value in this product?

Because it was the "hot new thing". Of the many "non-technical" people I know who foolishly put these things in their homes over the past couple years, all but a few have unplugged them and thrown them in a closet already.

It was a novelty at first, but one they quickly realized didn't offer much or any advantage over what they could already do with their phones - and wasn't worth the added surveillance. My sister in particular was creeped out by how often it seemed to activate without any "wake words" being said.

Now that Amazon made them cheap enough to be stocking stuffers even for lower income families in order to expand their mass surveillance network, a whole new portion of society will get to go through the same process.

I think anyone who puts these in their home should be required to have some kind of sign on their door to let anyone who enters know that "by entering this home, you agree to Amazon/Google's privacy policy".
It's trying to solve different problems. AFAIK they're trying to tackle things like distributed reinforcement learning and control among a set of robots.

Buying decisions for gifts between adults who constantly buy stuff for themselves are governed by a very special set of rules.

It can't be something they already have. It can't be something from a special interest hobby field, where enthusiasts identify deeply with every single related purchase decision. It can't be a commodity they would routinely buy anyways, that'd be like giving money.

This leaves us with purely sacrificial gifts ("to show you that I care, I have, through an elaborate mechanism too complicated not only to explain but also to understand, paid some poor kid to spend their life burrowing through dirt to find this nice stone which I now present to you"), things you know they would have bought, but didn't like the price and, most importantly, things they might like but they don't know it yet.

Echo dot and the like must be huge holiday sellers because many people who would never but one might still enjoy then, and the whole concept is sufficiently new that even a blind guess yields an acceptable risk in "do they already have one?".

And then there is of course the onegenerational aspect, a great many senior citizens who never got fully accustomed to digital screen media have children or grandchildren who can't think of much besides gadgets, perfect match.
What is the difference between UI vs. UX?
The word "imply" is ambiguous. When people say "correlation doesn't imply causation" they mean that it is invalid logic to say because correlation, thus causation. But in everyday english, imply just means "to suggest", and correlation certainly does suggest causation even though that may not be the case. Correlation may equally suggest causation but in the reverse sense. Or a third cause of both things. I think you should always mentally enumerate those possibilities whenever someone is presenting a correlation.
Someone calling something a "little known fact" doesn't necessarily make it any of those things.
> The only problem is the godawful stopover in Dubai

This is why the A380 has been a failure. It is only economical when it is full. Airlines must cram demand into a few routes, e.g. London --> Dubai, to ensure they fill their planes.

That's fine if you're flying from London to Dubai. But if you're flying to Asia, a competing flight going directly to your destination is preferable. That route has too little demand to profitably fill an A380. It might be just right, though, for a 787.
La Compagnie! I really like them the couple times I've flown. For the price it's really great value. Worst part is the NYC airpot 'lounge'

I'm watching some OOP videos from mid-eighties right now. Can't shake the feeling that the original notion of OOP was solving the same problems as microservices try to solve today, but with far more elegance and more coherent theoretical framework.

I'm sure we all know that America's media has had a long history of telling the "right" story for the "right" reasons. I don't feel like digging around for cites, but it's pretty well known that the point of "embedding" journalists w/troops for the (formal) continuation of the 'Gulf War' was to make the journalists feel more sympathetic to the mission (troops) and thus tell the folks at home the appropriate story.

There's also a long history of the CIA recruiting journalists, editors, owners, etc...

The locations and maps are a little peculiar with Alexa for me. Granted, Echo is new in Canada, so I guess it needs time.

Alexa gives me my specific neighborhood as my location (as opposed to my city). The thing is, I don't really live in a big city, and I would bet that most people in my city don't know the neighborhood names. For me, it's too specific.

As it relates to my city, the maps don't give common street names, but rural route numbers instead.
Ask HN: If Docker were to be build today would Elixir(Erlang) be an option?

Couldn't agree more with you. Simplicity is the key to a sane world. I haven't had any problems with colors or fonts with st since I dropped urxvt in favor of the former. It is also harmful to assume that bash is always present, or worst, that it is the default shell; I've spent a reasonable amount of time learning how to effectively write portable shell scripts that can run in any Unix-like system, because portability is important. Bash is huge, and that makes it more prone to error and bugs, not to mention slower, the perfect balance I've found between speed and interactivity is mksh, I know dash can be faster, but it only works for scripting, as an interactive shell it sucks, and that's ok.

The 787 first flew 4 years earlier too, cost 3x as much to develop and aren’t selling for three times the price.

To the end of last month there were 858 orders (133 delivered) for the A350 versus 1287 (625 delivered) for the Dreamliner. Considering the 787 had a head start (787 introduced in 2011, A350 XWB in 2015), the pressure’s on Airbus to keep ramping up deliveries (the last few years it looks like Boeing’s stabilised at ~130 per year) but that gap’s going to shrink pretty quickly…

Many programs that trap SIGINT won't trap SIGQUIT so ^\ will still kill the process. Even if they do, if ^Z works then kill -9 %1 will be good.

> A better display of my current working directory, and my current git branch. These items should be displayed at the edge of the window, not inside the terminal itself.

MY prompt has been \$ for ages, and I've many names complained about my failing memory, but since I don't change directories often this causes me little grief (and being in one directory means my ^R search is very useful). Have you considered just storing this information in the title? Many virtual terminals have an escape sequence that sets the title.

This sounds very useful. Perhaps it would be implemented as an escape sequence that would be marked in the prompt.
