> they often require more resources, are less powerful and hard to automate via scripting

That's not a problem with the GUI paradigm, that's a problem with the current implementations of it.

Current implementations of CLI/TUI programs have many problems themselves: lack of undo, poor discoverability, low intuitiveness, no previewing (e.g. in the equivalent to file browsers), poor documentation (which makes the discoverability and intuitiveness problems worse), and so on.

Moreover, with that context,

> require more resources

...is a very poor reason to use them. Computers are meant to be useful, not to sit there saving compute/RAM/electricity.

(I shouldn't have to add this here, but: obviously, if you have two identical tools but for the fact that one consumes less power, then of course I would say you should use the latter one - this is not that scenario)

I think the thing you're looking for is subtextual. A thing you may not have noticed about serious hosting providers is that none of them run general-purpose container workloads in multitenant Docker. You have to do something like we're doing to host Docker containers for multiple organizations. Docker itself --- shared Linux kernels --- simply aren't isolated enough to protect customers from each other.

So: what we're describing isn't some breakthrough in hosting technology --- we're literally shoplifting the engine Amazon wrote to do the same thing --- but rather just explaining how we put these pieces together for our own product.

If I wanted to talk about things that were unique to Fly, I'd talk about our Anycast CDN and the way it automatically plugs into Fly apps, so that they are, out of the box, globally connected. Or about how we manage certificates, which we (I had nothing to do with it) apparently nailed the UX for so well that people use us just for that.

But that wasn't the point of this post; it really was just an effort to talk through some of the technical decisions we made.

Hypercard was great as a drag and drop "app" builder. Apple actually coded up iWeb a few years later, for which Hypercard could have been an excellent foundation.

There is still no great tool for preschoolers to start programming. Scratch is great but limited by its web and flash roots.

You're running Javascript. It's sandboxed, which is why I have it enabled by default, but often the javascript in a website is made to spy on you and your behaviour. It's not on your side but on the side of the people who made the website.

Personally I'm ok when something like discord breaks as it contains real time updates. But twitter just displays a bunch of text and pictues in a non real time manner. Even video can be played back without any js.
It's full control; remote files, for example will have an hash which you inline [1] so that the resultant hash is correctly computed.

That is definitely an interesting use case. You can look for methods that combine multiple vectors to create a combined vector or you may want to filter on metadata and vectors both. Who knows maybe you might be able to come with something very unique for your example!
Ah...okay, did not think of that!

Thank you!
On the contrary, I think people don't give Hypercard (and Flash) not enough credit. These tools were not about UIs. They were about enabling mere mortals to make their own tools (apps, games, etc.) - often for personal use. The idea of enabling users to make their own tools easily(or fix their own tools for that matter) is a noble one that unfortunately seems to have ran against Apples core mission.
Interesting, the union missed an opportunity to fix a lot of misinformation:

Did you investigate zfs vs LVM?

Reading some these comments I almost started thinking about a docker2zfs tool that would take an image and build/dump a (possibly encrypted) zfs snapshot. And a service that takes a zfs snapshot, mounts it and runs it like a vm/container/jail...
Probably yes.

The landscape of computing has DRAMATICALLY changed since hypercard, this feels really revisionist to say this:

"Jobs supposedly claimed that he intended his personal computer to be a "bicycle for the mind." But what he really sold us was a (fairly comfortable) train for the mind. A train which goes only where rails have been laid down, like any train, and can travel elsewhere only after rivers of sweat pour forth from armies of laborers. (Preferably in Cupertino.)"

So dramatic! Cmon now.

The sentiment at the bottom is what rings most true, you could fit the entire manual for hypercard in your head, and achieve proficiency much faster than many tools.
> Digging a two mile tunnel eats half of the state budget?Police refuses to wear body cams? Schools are slow to reopen after covid? Rightly or not, in many people's minds unions are to blame.

If you were a contractor to a state and you scored a contract worth half the state's budget, would you consider that a success or a failure?

You would consider it a success! The examples you give show exactly how unions work in the self-interest of their members. If the tunnel costs half the state's budget, the tunnel workers are surely well-paid, police officers rather not wear body cams so that they can whack people with their batons without being prosecuted, and teachers rather not return to schools as long as the epidemic is ongoing.

I think that this isn't always the case.

Some peoples' brains (such as mine, I believe) are more wired to be symbolic. I suspect that, for these people, using a textual-command-oriented CLI interface is going to be noticeably easier/more intuitive than those whose brains are wired to be more visual/kinesthetic/whatever else there might be.

I don't think that it's very strongly weighted towards "transferability toward other real-world concepts". The modern GUI interface doesn't seem to share many characteristics with non-computer parts of the real world.

Why is it that we're so much better at consistency in GUIs than programs? We all know ctrl+c/cmd+v and friends. We all know right click. We all know where preferences tends to live and what people are likely to put under the file or edit dropdowns. Compare that to learning new non-GUI tools (shell or libraries), and you start from square one. The only thing I can think of that's universal is "--help"

Web browsers usurped the OS layer and displaced the local OS (Mac, Linux, Windows) into the layer where the hypervisor traditionally used to be. The real OS is Google Chrome/Firefox, and your local OS is just a para(?)virtualisation/driver layer.

This is more common with CLI than with TUI, and its largely because the former are generally aimed at lower-level use than TUI or GUI applications.
Well ultimately that's up to you. Just saying that it might cause some grief in terms of SEO, googling/stack overflow, accidentally downloading the wrong thing, etc. Also, it's not really great etiquette to reappropriate names of things that see widespread usage in close domains (both are related to expressing behavior on top of DOM), but I guess you don't really care about that since you've already paid money for the domain name </shrug>
> ZipRecruiter shows the average in all states as under $15 [0] so an Amazon worker will likely make more than a worker in other warehouses.

Amazon workers make more than other non-unionized warehouses in the area, but they still make less than unionized warehouses. For example Piggly Wiggly warehouses make $20/hr on top of having vacation days and medical benefits.

As a libertarian I am likely biased against the idea of unions due to having heard horror stories.

However, all the public sector unions with whom I have collaborated have been rather excellent. Why? They were actually the voices of reason and efficiency when it came to IT change in the workplace. It seemed as though their raison d'etre was maximum effectiveness of employees, and removing impediments. Understanding this, they were able to advocate in a positive manner to represent the working engineer and scientist.

Let's not paint all unions with a negative brush.

I think for a warehouse worker or any other job where people are basically fungible, unionizing is a no-brainer. Individuals have no leverage.

Unionizing can make sense for other types of jobs as well. The person I responded to mentioned their preference for having a direct relationship with an employer. To me, that means other types of places than warehouses because I doubt very much that many warehouse workers have a relationship with anybody above their direct supervisor.

Agreed. Python is one of the worst languages in the sense of packaging and distributing code. It is incredible how bad they manage to make the whole process. And it is not for lack of effort, they have attempted several things, but the end result is complete confusion. Every year they come with a new way to solve the packaging problem, but in the end the result is just more complexity.

How does calling people dumb affect the way they vote? In fact, if me and others calling people who vote against unionization dumb makes them more likely to vote against unionization, it clearly means that they are not primarily considering their self-interest, since whatever I and other leftists say or think is completely irrelevant.

First time reading about compiler fuzzing, but seems like there's some parallels with TLA+.

With TLA+, you could check a compiler's specification before you implement it. Then, once you've implemented it, you could do fuzzing on the actual program.

I wonder how much overlap there is between bugs you could catch with TLA+ vs fuzzing.
I dunno, it’s better on HN to give people the benefit of the doubt. The overlap of software engineer and conservative punditry consumer is pretty small relatively speaking. It’s not like the ideas put forth are too convoluted for somebody to have on their own.
