Looks interesting and may be something here. Please do not underestimate inertia of habits.

I have yet to switch (probably never will) to zsh; it breaks enough things from bash that I've never bother learning. I expect my terminal to behave the same everywhere. Unless you can find a place where there is no alternative (e.g. Windows CMD), I will not touch anything that doesn't behave like a good old pty.
Faster than what, fiber? DOCSIS 3.0? No.

Definitely agree. In my experience, the financial industry tends to lean heavily on checklists and bureaucracy to enforce security. This requires additional headcount and prevents automation.

Technology companies lean the other way and enforce security through comprehensive automation of the controls they must follow.
This, for sure.

I recently had to build some weather functionality and discovered Dark Sky right before they announced that they are discontinuing the API, and it's a real bummer because in my opinion nothing else comes close. There's a reason why Apple bought it.
That's not the dichotomy though. Most businesses start with one or a few people making someting useful and building a larger business around it. Like a plumber who learns to specialize in new urban construction and makes enough connections as clients that he decides to hire two people to help with his work.

General topology is a pretty far cry from geometry though.

Hi,

Personal experience: I have never seen customers coming by flock to anything - even though "product market fit" is supposed to make it magic. You have to fight for them.

Having the candidates is already something great you achieved. I think that you are on a vertical where you need to get known by people. How are current "hiring intermediates" getting their customers? They do sales. They try to reach out and try to convert peoplen, even if the product is "self checkout".

we are in the new age of consolidation.

Just like the combustion engine development created the transportation and assembly revolution some ~60 years after, profits from the newly created peripheral markets led to massive profits in specific tech sectors (oil, steel)... Flush with cash, they started horizontal, vertical acquisitions, leading to the massive corps of the time (1950s).

We now have the internet. We are roughly almost 60 years into the internet creation revolution cycle.

If this is what you're interested in. Figure out what it is that you want to do specifically. Move to LA or Vancouver and get a job as a PA. Take whatever you can get. Show up early. Go home late. Bust your ass. Get in with the trade that you're interested in. Make nice with those people.

I was in the exact same position, and I can't recommend Ruhlman's Twenty enough. It goes through 20 techniques/ingredients, from ‘Water’ and ‘Onions’ to ‘Roast’ and ‘Boil’, giving you all the information you might possibly need, and then provides a handful of recipes to explore all the avenues of each. The only downside is that a lot of the recipes include meat and the book never really touches on how to make sensible substitutes, which depending on your dietary preferences might be more or less of an oversight, but I didn't find it too difficult to sub things out.

I've not read Salt, Acid, Fire, Heat so I can't comment, but I assume it takes a similar approach.
I think it's certainly doable; it's 9 years away.

I don't necessarily think that it'll be done in that time and a 2040 deadline just makes that even less likely.
Google Gravity Tricks That Will Make Your Day
The insistance on native feeling UI and shortcuts is something I only see from Mac users. I think the app would work perfectly well in Electron but would just attract the usual complaints from Mac users.
North Korea can demand what it wants. I'm not in North Korea.

For North Koreans, all encryption is indeed pointless if the goal is to hide it from the government, regardless of where they want to store data, for this very reason.

I can implement true end-to-end encryption in about 30 minutes (only because I gotta look up where I implemented it last). I will encrypt my data using well known and validated libraries, send it over to the cloud. Retrieve when I need it and decrypt it then. Not sure what about this is not feasible.
Depends what your goals are - but if you wanna be very capable at talking you’d be better off listening to a lot of native content intended for natives (as well as talking with live people). I recommend Language Learning with Netflix, or the more heavy duty/Anki driven Migaku family of tools (can use with Netflix, YouTube or any video with subtitle files), for studying in that form; plus language teachers through something like iTalki (encourage the teacher to not dumb down their speaking for you even if you get lost); as well as talking with random people on services like
HelloTalk/immersing in the place that speaks your language/finding a native speaker to befriend and talk to in the language. Duolingo is a beginner tool in my opinion (there are far more beginners to sell to and the barrier to entry is low).
Yeah. If you’re American, imagine being being 25% poorer, and cars being 50% more expensive (due to excise taxes, displacement taxes, 20%+ VAT and more) — that’s the reality faced by Europeans.
"How to cook everything" by Mark Bittman was a book I found very useful. It has a whole bunch of recipes but it also does a great job of explaining the logic and overall structure behind each recipe. So you learn not just how to make a specific soup, but what the basic concepts behind making a soup are, as well as tons of alternatives for each recipe. It helped me quickly move from following recipes to being able to look at what I have in my kitchen and whip something up.
Hi Zach, this is a worthy effort.

Have you been looking at Wezterm? It is written in Rust and is faster than Altacritty. Altacritty is fast at displaying a wall of text, but all I care about is the interactivity when typing and running commands.

BTW, you are getting a lot of flac here but it seems to be mostly about your marketing angle. Don't take it personal and remember that it is easy enough to fix the marketing angle.
No. This wouldn't happen as space is much bigger and there are far more airplanes today in the sky than satellites with a higher more distant apart orbit.

These low earth orbit constellations will naturally experience orbital decay and at the end of their useful life will simply burn up on re-entry. They're explicitly designed to prevent Kessler Syndrome:

NoScript bypasses it. So does just disabling JS.
I like my terminal as it is and I don't feel the pain outlined in the problem statement. The pain I feel is performance — I need my prompt to be instant; for a while I had to wait ~300ms for each render, which in terminal land is basically a year. For collaboration there's tmux/tmate. The completion examples already exist in my relatively meagre oh-my-zsh setup. The other completion stuff is done with fzf. I generally don't like GUI stuff, and as for "developers work across machines", well, this old Steve Losh gem[0] comes to mind:

> I can count on my balls how many times I've sat down to program at someone else's computer in the last five years. It just never happens.

That said, I think Warp looks great, and there's definitely space in the world for more terminal options. This could be an excellent gateway drug to entice more developers over to using the CLI, which is an obvious positive. Way too many programmers are hampering themselves by not working with the terminal.

Electric aircraft (not necessarily gliders) could use a tethered assisted take-off and ascent as a way to save on the initial power draw. You probably would want to use another assistant plane (not a ground station) to pull the passenger plane to altitude and speed and then return to a runway while the other continues on it's longer flight.
Not very useful article.

It's short (10 paragraphs) and doesn't provide much analysis beyond about 4 statistics and 2-3 anecdotes.

I wish it had more data and visualizations of data.
I don't think this is unique to familial relationships. I think this is maybe a trend with all sorts of relationships. I'm not sure if there's any way of quantifying it, because I think it's something that's always happened, but I get the sense it's more common than it used to be.

Without meaning to sound judgmental, I see it as part of a general trend -- cancel culture, sensitivity warnings, etc -- that involves some underlying pattern. Maybe it's just more encouraged now than it used to be, maybe it's not really any different, I don't know. But I do get the sense people (liberal and conservative, young and old) are more likely to be absolutist about their viewpoints, political and relational, in a way that leaves less room for "seeing the other side" and change.

It's important to note I think the familial estrangement issue is more complicated than this, and involves other changes in cultural values, but also socioeconomic crises.
There is a significant difference between doing stream processing at edges (client, producers) vs. inline. Similar to performing SQL query in client vs. done by the database server. Think of the WASM inline module as a stored procedure but for the stream (omitting other implementation details).

> How does it prevent that if a stream being processed contains > PII data?

At the execution time, the WASM module can't access any memory outside it is given. Fluvio's SPU control data flow from the stream to the WASM module. For the PII use case, data is only decrypted just before sent over to the WASM engine. And since the WASM module can't access any data or have access to any host-based resources, it can't leak anything.

The key architecture advantage of in-line processing is that we can move computation as close to storage as possible reducing cost and latency
Assuming that time travel is impossible, NSA can't break into something that does not exist anymore. Hence the idea when facing such adversary is to provide them a constantly moving target. Although NSA might be able to break any full disc encryption given enough time, they aren't able to decrypt something that no longer exists.

This principle isn't scalable to every computer system out there and will definitely go against other requirements in most organizations, but if you are an individual, it's not hard to pull it off.
It matters which jurisdiction can order the data to be decrypted.

> The terminal isn’t built for how modern software engineers work

Have you done user research to confirm this assumption? I love the terminal. And I'm not some ancient dev who's been around since the terminal was invented - I'm in my twenties. But I'm curious if software engineers at large agree with you (judging from these HN comments it seems like they don't).
Hmm I think I've heard that mentioned before. Here's a primary source describing the idea:

One of the German ICE CEO's was going on about how they have over a century of experience and Tesla will never catch up. There is something in this as most parts of the car don't change when becoming electric and the bits that do become simpler. They surely have the resources, architects and design teams to do this migration (which they have proven as they all now have electric car platforms in production). It was a matter of will not inability.
Disclosure: I worked at FB, but not on connectivity projects, although I was adjacent to internet.org.

As far as I could tell, these were serious efforts, but it's important to understand the organizational goals. Facebook benefits from increased connectivity regardless of who operates the network (as long as it's not actively hostile to FB, anyway). So there was a focus on research and publication rather than build-out. If FB can find a viable improvement in networks, and convince networks to use it, that increases connectivity which is good for FB. Additionaly, if network providers use FB developed technology in their networks, it might improve relations with those networks, which are sometimes strained because of competition in the messaging space.

In my mind, this is the same as Google Fiber. Google Fiber was a terrible business for Google, but as a result of announcing their plans to build out in specific cities, the incumbent networks built out high speed fiber in most (or all) of those cities and maybe a few other places, which increases penetration of high speed connectivity, which is good for Google as a whole, so it's still a win.
Brilliant story. This is the NYC that I remember.
Thanks, that makes sense.

Yes, I understand that hiring is always a big decision - which means you need to build trust.
This would explain the low % of end conversions, but the question of low interest at top of the funnel (e.g. conversions from HN of PH) still remains.
I found the title of the article a little annoying, but it has a point. It's ridiculous that we're using terminals that still emulate a physical TTY, with all the flaws that come with that.

The failings of terminal semantics have been well-documented (tools with frozen text UI formats because so many tools rely on parsing their output...), but the failings of the terminal UI are large too. Why does editing a multi-line command have to be a pain? Why do the Vim bindings have to suck? Why do I have to screw around adding random files to my ZSH autocomplete directory, or application developers need to add some completion installer for each type of shell? Why can't I tell the shell to color-code stderr vs stdout? Why can't a program open more than 2 IO channels to the terminal? Why is there still not a standard way to display images and video? Why can't the terminal fold long command output into a toggleable expando (like code-folding) instead of me needing to up-arrow to remember what I ran? Why can't I filter output after the fact instead of needing to remember to grep it or tee it into a file and grep that? Shells have fallen way, way behind what modern GUI editors (and TUI ones, more hackily) are able to do. It's easy to write off these kinds of improvements, but 30s re-running a command to grep output there and a minute checking man pages there interrupt your flow and add up to really be a huge waste of time.

There's no reason we should be emulating physical terminals in 2021.
Arnica montana is the only thing that soothed a pulled and cramping set of muscle and tendons in my leg. It does something to capillaries to increase blood flow like a deep tissue massage, and it's long-known for healing bruises.

Topical CBD compliments it well if needed. I didn't like the dulling effect on my leg after it had healed to a certain point.
But that’s not even true anymore. It’s well known and counter measures have been taken.

> The terminal-shell interface, which hasn’t changed since the 80s, needs to be rethought if we want to bring the terminal into the modern age.

What does it really mean to bring something to the "modern age"? It seems the objective is to turn the terminal into a multi-collaborative IDE. And if so, just create one, but do not call it a terminal, call it something else.
> I was referring to your (seemingly snarky, and I apologize if I mistook your intent) comment that you hoped I wasn't suggesting to a shared database between services.

Apologies, I did write a snarky comment and I'm very sorry that I did that, rather than asking for clarification and/or explaining my position a bit more clearly.

I take the view that sharing an SQS queue (or a topic, or a stream...) between two services is OK. It creates a contract between those two services, of course, and part of that contract might be that there is a uniqueId field that the receiving service is going to have to persist in its own database in order to only action each request once, but it doesn't add an excessive amount of complexity or coupling between the services, not for me at least.

I'm still not OK with having two services share the same database, though, even if you're using it for a narrow purpose. For me, the danger is that you end up introducing more coupling than just agreeing on a message format and messaging semantics. I've been burned by that once or twice and I don't want to get burned by it again and I'm pretty happy that it's widely seen as an anti-pattern these days and personally I dogmatically avoid it. I do take your point that the database is going to end up being a SPOF/bottleneck, though, and I don't really have a great answer for that in the general case.
>for the simple reason that the EU was meant to be first and foremost an economical Union/treaty area, not a political one

The EU was always meant to be a political union. The economical elements were introduced first because they're more palatable.

It's an argument I often see repeated from people living in countries where the EU for sold as a trade tool (for example the Netherlands) when it was simply not the case.
