'Cancel culture' is not an actual thing. There do exist instances where someone gets shunned or shitcanned for something they said 10 years ago, which is a questionable practice and not very common, but when someone is in a public facing position or otherwise position of power or influence, and does or says some heinous shit in the present, getting fired or having their show cancelled or what have you is not evidence of some wider 'cancel culture' to shut down free speech, it's absolutely normal operating procedure; society has always functioned this way. If you go into a church and start spouting 'God is a ball of spaghetti' you'll get shunned and kicked out, in 2021 or 1021, and no one's going to call that 'cancel culture'.

'Wokeism' is not an actual thing, either. Sure, there's a few nutjobs on the internet but they don't have any actual influence; absolutely none compared to conspiracy theorists, anyway. The reason corporations do stuff like Pride month or Black History month is pure marketing pandering to make them seem more human.

You conservatives sure spend a lot of time inventing boogeymen to invest your time into fighting. It is after all, pretty standard ur-fash protocol.
Great points. I know I've experience miscommunication going both ways with this.

The problem is that history does not repeat itself. It rhymes with itself. This means that "do it the way we did it" won't work. And is frustrating for younger generations. But it also means it's stupid to ignore the rhymes and ignore near and present and easily lectured history available. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater kind of thing.

It's hard to navigate this. A great example of this (to me) is the "getting a job" thing. The boomer advice would be that you "pound the pavement", "call back", etc. Younger people are frustrated with how out of touch this is, because even if they're willing to try, human resources and other forms of automation have rendered this just about pointless. And yet... the value of networking is stronger than ever. The better advice from the boomer would be to realize that the "technique" they used was about networking with and impressing potential employers, admit that those techniques are no longer relevant, but that the value of networking into an organization still has a lot of influence on whether you're going to work there or not.

This is of course generalized, and prone to a litany of counter exceptions. Because all of these "make life better" are rarely absolute, but more stochastic in nature.

Acupuncture. I had a similar issue with my pinkie and ring finger on my right hand started going numb at work. I had an ergonomics specialist from my company give me a whole new setup, but the only thing that actually helped was getting acupuncture/massage 1-2 times a week for a couple weeks straight. One interesting thing I found out was that while I was having numbness in my hand, the nerve that was causing it was in my shoulder/upper back.
Here's a simple test I use on startup ideas. I call it the reversion test.

Let's suppose for a moment that air travel today worked the way you described it, with gliders, 60 mile range, electric winches etc.).

Then someone comes along and invents the motorized plane and now all of a sudden you can start and land a plane pretty much anywhere you want, you're no longer dependent on weather and, in addition, you multiply your range by a factor of 5x to 10x.

To me that sounds more disruptive than the other way around, so your idea would unfortunately fail the reversion test.
Assuming that it wasn’t a rhetorical question: I do.

I spend 1/3rd of my day in terminal emulators, and anything that reduces the number of stupid (normally memory corruption) crashes that interrupt my work is a legitimate value proposition for me.

Edit: This isn’t an endorsement of this particular product, to be clear. I don’t know anything about it, except that being written in a fast, memory safe language endears me to it.

Warp is a terminal, we still rely on the underlying shell to do the interpretation / execution of the commands. At the moment, we support using bash, zsh, or fish as the shell.
The problem I see with nuclear proponents is that Internet, for all it vastness, lacks a kind of objective consideration of nuclear pro and contra. Instead of ridiculing nuclear opponents, a good description of nuclear waste question is needed - but most I can see is praises without arguments.

How much waste is produced? What's the waste content? How it could be dealt with? How long this waste represents a problem? What is actually done, and why's the difference? Questions like that aren't that easy to answer - nuclear waste discussions rarely talk about it.
Do we care even if it open source? The use of Rust is an implementation detail and shouldn’t really matter.
>...I have no idea what bash is written...

This is a terminal emulator not a shell language so this should be compared to the likes of Xfce4-terminal, Konsole, Alacritty, Kitty, st, etc...
Driving is dangerous but we still teach teenagers to drive. We weigh the risks and the benefits and, despite the risks, do it anyway.

It is a degenerate form of the straw-man fallacy to bring up only the risks. Additionally, this kerfuffle is predicated on the totally false assertion that the state is taking parents out of the decision-making loop.

There is NO substance here. NOTHING.

There. You made me talk about the stupid thing. I hope you're happy.

If you don't need access, you shouldn't have it.

If you do need it to do your job, you shouldn't have to run to your manager several times a day to make a request to do it. You should have root or whatever is necessary and it can be audited.

I'm not arguing against access control. I'm arguing for those with responsibility to work to be given the commensurate authority to do their work -- with auditing even.
Food for thought: Maybe there's something wrong with your family if you can't share a meal together in peace.

Like families, societies need shared values. If a third of the population is religious extremist, another third believes in freedom and liberalism and the rest in Communism, fascism, or something even different, there is no common ground. I'm a tolerant person but I can't sit with people who preach that we should be treated differently depending on what race or gender we are. Or that gays shouldn't be able to get married. Diversity is good, but under a common denominator. Unchecked multiculturalism breaks nations apart. Smart people get divorces when they realize their partner is a disgusting swine who abuses them. Free societies need to do the same with groups promoting ideologies incompatible to their core values.

Solar and wind don't generate waste?

And while batteries are getting better, they're still not to the point that solar and wind can just replace the kind of power nuclear produces.

Further, lithium batteries don't produce waste?

Hi HN

I'm one of the builders of Avrio. I'd love some blunt direct feedback on what we're building!
What terminal are you using that crashes so often? I’ve used Linux and Mac terminals for ages and cannot remember one terminal crash.
> Maybe this is a hot take, but I for one prefer that my company trusts me to do the right thing rather than make it hard to do my job.

Yes and banks shouldn't lock their vaults or safe deposit boxes because and just trust that all of their employees just want to do their jobs.

It's much easier for a tiny competitor to scale by double digits, especially when said competitor only sells cars in a few countries. For GM to increase car sales by double digits would likely require the sudden disappearance of one of its major competitors like Toyota creating a huge void in the global market.

For example: the Toyota Mirai, a very niche hydrogen car, saw 1000% YoY sales gains. The Chevy Bolt EV saw a 335% YoY increase in sales.

Also, note that GM sold 50% more cars in the U.S. this past quarter alone as Tesla sold all of last year worldwide. Toyota edged GM by fewer than a 1000 cars in the U.S. Each of them has sold almost as many cars this year as Tesla has ever sold.

There's a difference between teaching to a group and working as a team.

I'd expect almost everything said in "engineering onboarding" to be equally relevant for all of an homogeneous group of new recruits who have the same questions and varying ideas about their importance and obviousness.

On the other hand a meeting in the Marines is likely to be about the respective orders and status reports of several people, with everybody having different problems that should be discussed individually.
Have you heard about the 100, 70 and 30 years wars? The massive death toll and destruction in the world wars was largely a result of much more effective military technology. There was simply no way to kill as much people and destroy as much property in such a short time frame in any preceding wars.

And I don't really see what a loose monetary policy could have anything to do with this. Before the 20th century countries rarely had the means to mobilize their economies by directing most of the output to the war effort, they had no capacity to enforce this and in any case there wasn't enough surplus produced to a wage total war without everyone starving to death and/or the central government collapsing.

From my experience these sorts of conversations come much more easily in rural diners and country grocery stores than NYC bars (or at least places where people aren't generally trying to "be" someone). And it really doesn't take much tuning of any personal social instrument, just a willingness to lay one's own instrument down and enjoy the unique sound of another's.
I don't get it either - I use Windows (the default cmd, Powershell and Cmder), Linux and MacOS and don't recall a terminal emulator being slow... ever.

Yet when the subject of terminal emulators comes up, there are often comments from other HN users insisting that Windows terminal emulators are molasses compared to MacOS, or that this emulator is much faster than that. I don't get it.
Peasants need not talk about that.

(Yeah, what a joke that is)
One potential conclusion: Mac users understand the productivity increase and the value of apps feeling native, since the Apple ecosystem is one of the primary places to get such a native experience today.

This shouldn't necessarily be interpreted as "Mac users are special flowers", but rather, "Mac users may have stronger opinions about this because they've experienced the benefits of native apps".

I've been around the block with operating systems, and was primarily a Linux user for many years. Later in my career, I started to appreciate the simplicity and consistency of the Apple ecosystem, and while I recognize that's not everyone's thing, it lets me focus on the job at hand and spend less time learning how to use new apps/tools. This is valuable.

I feel sad when terminals need OpenGL ... OTOH, apparently, my modest needs are adequately served by ConEmu on Windows and xfce4-terminal on Linux.
Nuclear plants produce stable energy unlike solar and wind, and can also be used for desalination. There are a number of benefits to nuclear that make it desirable beyond what solar and wind can do.

That said, in an effort to become more self sufficient I too will be installing solar panels in the near future.
Do banks not offer engineers RSUs?

If so, $100k plus a 15% bonus is laughably low. Even shitty startups pay new grads more than that.

My understanding is that GS's interview is actually harder to pass than a lot of FAANG companies. So you have to wonder why anyone would even interview there if the pay is that low...

If you “hard no” so easily, then what else may you be missing out on?
Maintaining the time might seem easy but it is a foundation of every project, if you are not paying attention while working then it will eventually result in your project having low quality.
That is why you really need to divide your work with time; you should be able to finish your daily tasks, and projects within your time limit frame.
Tab groups is a big reason I moved to Brave. The stock tab group implementation is excellent, and they have a scrollable tab bar now too.

Most of the blame lies squarely on keeping these drugs illegal, thus ensuring that users often don't know what drugs they're getting or the drugs' purity, leading them to overestimate how much of a given drug they need to take.

Of course there are also intentional overdoses (ie. suicides) caused by the misery that many people live in (which is often caused by poverty).

But unintentional overdoses are mostly caused by the War on Drugs.
I can't remember my terminal emulator ever crashing, much less crashing due to memory corruption. Maybe I've just been lucky.
Alacritty is open-source and written in Rust with great performance. I don't see a reason to use Warp yet.
I think they're targeting accessibility and reduced latency on long journeys since light travels faster in air than wire. I don't believe they're targeting faster bandwidth though.
Well just a total guess but since it has a tiny bit more OO than C (traits) it could be argued it has a slightly better (aka more clearly obvious) ability to have plugins which is definitely possible in C, but it means you can pass a thing around that can do certain things for you, whereas in C there's a lot of crufty stuff to do that.
No, verbal assault, harassment, and threats are issues. They should be dealt with as those issues, whether or not there is a racist component.

I'm not condoning racism here. Racism is morally and ethically bankrupt. But I think that your objection to partiallypro's comment doesn't hold water.
I'd be curious: Did you use any of the existing Rust UI frameworks? (Druid, Iced, Femtovg, etc) or is it all custom build on something like wgpu? If it is all custom, congratulations the rich text layout looks really, really good (something of a sore spot in the current set of pure rust UI frameworks).

Great product! I signed up for the beta, excited to try it out.
Note: Prefacing this by saying Warp may not be a panacea, but terminals definitely need to be revamped.

> Developers do not work in teams for the work they do in terminals.

A lot of HNers might be lone wolves, but mentoring juniors and working with cross-functional team members definitely requires sharing terminal sessions.

> It does not disappear, for every common configuration I'm aware of. The history persists.

Commands history persists, within your machine, not necessarily across machines or environments usually (unless you’ve setup elaborate config for that).

But more importantly, I often find my self hoping that output history for each command could be saved too - so I know what happened, what went wrong/right last time, etc etc.

> This is completely irrelevant and misleading for something you actually do on one machine.

Again, it’s not easy to carry over configuration and tooling across machines. Very often, machines I ssh into are missing a lot of my custom config and it’s a pain to re-adapt in the thick of it.

> The most complicated thing I do with terminals is to type text.

IME it super painful to build a shell config that works across Mac/Win/Linux that reliably does word selection, jumping, home/end, etc. I sorely miss all these shortcuts that I easily get in my text editor or IDE.

> pressing tab already offers because of the descriptions

Exactly that though. Autocomplete hovering and providing context is way easier than typing part of the command and pressing tab again and again to see if the completer finds anything.

Nuclear waste is a lot worse than any other type of waste. It's dangerous for tens of thousands of years and we don't know if we will be able to tell a civilization 10,000 years in the future that the stuff we buried deep in a cave is dangerous.
The text editing features (multiline, multiple cursors) are something I've really wanted from a terminal for a long time. Editing long/complicated commands in most terminals is not a great experience, so the point that I normally copy and paste from my text editor. A little wary of this if it's not open source, but looking forward to being to try it out.
Yes, because it is no different from "didn't read the article, but I heard vaccines contain chips and so I don't want one."

Point is: read the article. It makes an argument. Think about that argument, and then if you'd like, respond with derision or excitement or anything else, but get informed about the topic first. In this case, the topic is the contents of / arguments the article makes.
From the perspective of a child who believes something happened, mightn’t a parent “not acknowledging the harm they caused or are still causing” seems very much like “intentionally sowing doubt about a true fact”?

Characterising that point of view as merely “Someone has failed to fully empathize with me and agree with my take on the situation” seems ungenerous, and also to implicitly doubt their understanding of what happened, without a particular reason to favour either the child’s or parent’s interpretation.

The problem is that everyone operates on their own understanding, by definition, so wouldn’t it be better to, rather than say “this isn’t gaslighting”, instead note that it being gaslighting depends upon them being correct about what happened?

Many companies have policies or even laws that they have to follow concerning overseas employees. It's possible these are barriers to adoption.

"and are happy to work for an American startup for $100K-120K + equity."

As are many American devs. Companies that are outsourcing are looking for a deal. If you can hire remote workers in the US for under $100k, why hire foreign workers and have to deal with more regulatory hurdles? (Average US dev salary is $110k)

Time to hire is not a big issue for companies. They might tell you it is, but that's BS self-evaluation talking. It's the same way as all the stories you see about companies not finding qualified candidates. Usually it's the company's fault by paying too little, demanding unrealistic qualifications, or just having terrible work environments. Everyone wants senior devs that are 10 year experts on the exact stack the company uses, even if some of that tech has existed for less than 10 years, but companies aren't willing to cultivate that specific talent or set realistic expectations. It shouldn't surprise them if they have trouble finding talent in a system they created and perpetuated by limiting entry and growth for prospective hires. This results in cognitive dissonance and leadership claiming they can't find people rather than adjust pay, working conditions, etc to correct the problem.

A slot machine in Vegas is objectively worse then a decentralized slot machine simply by the fact that someone takes a cut (Up to 25%). A decentral gambling system can be truly "fair", no third party that always wins. Regulations are not a better solution at all. Verifying, even if it would be simple, is meaningless if all I can verify is that the system is intentionally made with odds against the user but only as much as allowed legally.
Can you point to some specific examples, instead of leaving it vague? I ask because I'm curious whether there are more pertinent framings than of a disagreement purely between political parties.

On this, I'd agree. Plenty of salesfolks are quite introverted outside of work.
Same for me in Linux and Windows. If your terminal regularly crashes because of memory corruption, there’s something wrong with your setup.
