Let me be clear here, I'm not advocating for ZERO access control or audit logs here!

Let's take that bank argument, I'm definitely not advocating for not locking vaults or safe deposit boxes. But somebody has access to those, and when they need access they have a process for getting to it. Frankly, it definitely can be abused and banks wouldn't know for the better until after the abuse when the employee would be terminated and taken to court.

That's because they have audit logs in place. And the reason why its part of your contract as an engineer not to abuse your access to customer data.

I think the larger point I'm trying to make here is that its really, really hard to build a system that prevents any type of abuse of data. Now I'm not saying that we shouldn't strive for systems that make it hard to abuse customers data, but bad actors have ways of beating these systems and I have some empathy for a policy that places trust in employees (who need access, by definition of their job!) to not abuse it.

Anyways, these are all good comments made in response to mine. I agree with them!

[EDIT] Okay - I see the incoming point about them not needing access to that data for their job, that's a fair point. But I think most of us have been at a point in our careers where knowing the piece of information about a user that might have gotten them into a certain state is occasionally a valuable debugging tool.

This floored me: when the app decides you typed an emoji, you can undo (ctrl+z) to get back to what you actually typed. That never would have occurred to me to try, simply because the mental model I have of "undo" pertains to things I did, not the app.
I mean, everything is a means to an end to make money. Google isn't selling ad tech software, they're selling space on websites to advertise. The tech is just a means to an end for that.

The companies that recognize this are the successful ones, and the ones who don't fail eventually. Even John Deere sees the light here. Why do you think they have all of the DRM BS? The value comes from the software.
It's definitely something we actively considered! You can find some more details about why we chose to implement our own UI framework here: https://blog.warp.dev/how-warp-works/. The tldr; for Druid is they don't support any GPU backend at all right now.

> After a very brief experiment with Electron, we quickly pivoted to building in Rust and rendering directly on the GPU using Metal

Huh? What about Linux? Why not use something like gfx-rs instead? It's too bad Apple refuses to support Vulkan, but at least you could use something that could help it actually work on multiple platforms. Using Metal will make it unportable, unless you plan to support multiple GPU APIs.

Also, there is no source in the Github link: https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp

Yep. Keep in mind that the writer is a separatist who works for Radio Free Asia (a CIA cutout). RFA has pushed several false testimonies from Uighurs in the past few years. For example, RFA pushed the claims of Mihrigul Tursun, who claimed to have been sent to a camp, seen 9 women die, and that they killed one of her newborns. All evidence (hospital records, etc) and testimonies from her family members have shown those claims to have been fabricated. Her son is alive in Egypt and she was never sent to a vocational training camp. [1]

Radio Free Asia weaponized the story of a young boy drowning [2]. They pushed the claims of Sayragul Sauytbay who says she was for forced to work in a camp... which again was shown to be a lie. Her family members explain how she was never in a camp and how she fled to Kazakhstan because of defrauding a rural credit co-op. [3]

There's an active propaganda campaign going on right now. In my opinion, this is the biggest lie since the Nayirah testimony or the WMD lie.

> but time will tell

Well the gold (or silver) standard had been a thing for thousands of years and I don't think there is much empirical evidence to suggest that a country's inability to control it's monetary policy somehow inherently disincentivizes it's government from waging wars.

Talking about inflation specifically, there was relatively little of it during both WW1 and WW2 since all countries implemented price controls and rationing and pretty much nationalized all the available production capacity.
A big part of why I think my hypothesis would work is that I believe we have these shared values in the US.

The problem is that these shared values have been obscured by disagreement on how to attain them, and by focusing on group identities that mark us all as "Other" to someone else.
The only thing that works for me, at all, is putting things directly in my way so they're practically unavoidable, and physically removing distractions in advance. Modifying my environment to make the things I want to do extremely easy to do, and the things I don't want to impossible or difficult, is the only thing that works.

Absolutely agree it's a beginner tool, and through studying a textbook/Wiktionary, films, talking to a bilingual speaker I've surpassed it. But just as you say the barrier to entry is low, so is the barrier to practice.

Thanks for the tips though, I will give them a go. Especially the Netflix one I keep meaning to; I watch a fair bit in target language (Hindi) but always with (only) English subtitles. Keep meaning to give it a go. (I do sometimes go back and put Hindi subtitles on if there was something I was particularly interested in / wanted to check, but it's a pain to do often.)

I appreciate this but I also suspect that many of the people who advocate for this kind of private public square aren’t thinking through the implications from the perspective of their own professed ideals. In general, many anti-free-speech, pro Twitter Inc folks are left wing and left wing ideals don’t align well with privatizing the regulation of civil liberties. I think this is more of an emotional reaction on their part than a principled stance.

> The children who are estranged from their parents are experiencing the traditional gaslighting, and not the more recent thing you bring up.

And sometimes, the parent is experiencing gaslighting. We all have problems and the difference between parent and child fades with time (most of us live both roles).

Without an objective record of fact and an independent analysis, it very well could be either party or more probably both that are guilty of gaslighting. Nothing is wrong with being estranged though unless you want there to be.

These look soo good - I'm really surprised they haven't been licensed out to other saw manufacturers. I saw a demo of the inventor actually sticking his finger into a running saw. I know they're expensive to replace when they trigger - but a lot cheaper then replacing fingers..

A good example of how the proposals are not rocking the boat is the ban of selling new petrol and diesel powered cars cars by 2050, but building new fossil fueled power plants is perfectly acceptable and part of the plan going forward. Changing what kind of car people can buy new from the factory in 20 years is not going to cause too much problem for an industry that is already switching production towards electric cars, but fossil fuels are way too cheap as an reserve energy to be cut from the energy grid.

The biggest news is the carbon tariffs, through I notice how they avoid calling it that. I suspect that the US trade war has enabled taxing imports an political tool, and as such it is being tested here in order to serve several purposes. I doubt however that it will be used consistently within the EU, like when countries import and export energy produced by fossil fuels.

Other books in a similar vein that I liked:

_One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way_ by Robert Maurer

Both are short reads, and the Kaizen book is also in a nice small form factor that you can stick in your back pocket. These books emphasize the importance of making even the smallest change possible.

Oh no! What is you doing?

This looks interesting on second thought. A good way to consolidate workplace systems for low-bandwidth display applications where consistently low latency is not a big concern.

Thanks for the interesting example.

If the goal of the policy was to prevent customer A from staying under the KYC threshold by constantly shifting received gifts elsewhere, then I think it should be possible to account for this by giving customer A two accounts, one that they receive gifts into (capped to be no more than incoming 10 credits), and one that they send from (capped to be no more than 1 outgoing debit).

KYC would then be required before customer A can receive any more gifts or be transferred into a full-duplex account. Can you spot any bugs in this approach? There might also be better ways to model a chart of accounts for this scenario. And if you have any more scenarios you can imagine and send through, I would also really like to work through them to see what we can learn.

Regarding latency:

If payments are global, then I believe that any system would need to incur latency at some point when updating both accounts if they are homed in different jurisdictions.

At this point, is your question about global cross-continent latency differences between active Paxos replication vs passive Multi-Paxos replication?

Or are you more comparing the latency of a strict serializability RSM like TigerBeetle vs the latency of something like a byzantine fault tolerant payment system that uses cryptographic signing and sharding but which cannot do things like payment-versus-payment?

"Apple could do a lot better" isn't incompatible with "everyone else is even worse".

Everything you've objected to here falls under right to repair, which I support. I understand why Apple would want to exert control over the parts which go into their devices, because flaky secondary-market parts which fail will be blamed on Apple, not the fly-by-night chop shop which put them in; but I don't find it compelling and think the entire industry should be forced to allow it.

This is what a reply looks like, by the way. What you did wasn't so much a reply as using my post as a launch-point for your own rant.

In particular, not a word of what you said went to refute or even address the quoted part of my post. There's no if by the way: Apple has been replacing batteries since they popped out of devices, at no point has that service not been available, ever. Instead of looking this up, you used your own mental ambiguity to say a bunch of things which implied they're worse than they are. That's lazy.

There is a daily, constant conversation about the benefits of vaccines. I don't need to bring that up. It is implied.

There are people whose lives have been destroyed by vaccines. That isn't nothing. It seems they are just too much of a minority for you to care. Or you don't believe they exist. And that's why I asked you that question, because we can't have a conversation without understanding where each of us is coming from.

If you don't want to talk then don't talk. But don't attack and insult me. I'm not making you do anything.

But who would expect Electron or web tech for a terminal?

Having written terminal code both in compiled and interpreted languages, and on machines about a thousand times slower than a typical modern machine, speed here is also much more down to algorithm choices - especially for rendering - than language.

I find the focus on FPS pretty odd as well, as really high update speeds for a terminal typically only comes into play if dumping huge amount of data to the terminal by accident, in which case typically handling scrolling properly is easily speeded up by skipping lines that need never be visible at all.

I do expect terminals I use to be low latency for normal operations, but that's a very different consideration.

Not objecting to your choice of Rust. Just like some others found it odd to highlight it near the top of your main page.

> Secure 4K encryption

I understand wanting to have some kind of peace-of-mind marketing statement, but encryption has everything to do with the chosen cipher suite and implementation, and while 4096-bit encryption can technically be called “4k” this furthers misconceptions around key size and strength [0]. This seems like another effort to borrow the marketing effect of 4K displays.

The (idiomatic) answer is based on the fact that your global environment doesn't need pync, weechat needs pync. Therefore, you override weechat's dependencies and inject the package into it's private environment like so: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-weechat

Not to a lot of experts, though. I remember sitting in a conference room at the time discussing options of entering this market and people were basically "we don't know how they can possibly do this, it's either some unknown technology magic or a scam".

This is not a victory. We are already past the point where passive measures are enough. We need to take all possible passive measures immediately (i.e. within the current term of whatever political bodies are relevant), and start looking at what active measures can be safely and economically deployed. Allowing politicians to promise action in the future (i.e. beyond their current term of office) is an absolute and total defeat.

I don't view it as an issue, but maybe HN should start allowing "Let's Discuss" type submissions without a link to an article? That seems like what happens in many cases anyway.

Nuclear, solar, and hydro all have different production profile, different strengths and weaknesses. They are all complementary, and we're not going anywhere if we don't use all the means at our disposal.

Nuclear definitely has a long lead time (and requires huge initial capital), but it should be built nevertheless, as it is much more efficient than the alternative for base load production. It has also very good synergies with hydrogen production.
This is such an old and tiresome argument.

First, just because you made it work, doesn’t mean that applies to everyone. Congrats on your success, but let’s not generalize with one data point.

Second, what about marketing costs? What about a first-mover advantage and staffing up to win that advantage? What if you want to tap into a network (YC, tech stars, etc.)? What if you really value the good feeling of being validated by having a round of financing? What if bu raising capital you get attention that kickstarts your business that otherwise wouldn’t have come?
You are mistaken. The Outline link only has the introduction (1500 words) by Freeman, the Atlantic article is ten times longer.
Microsoft's secret weapon here is that if you subscribe to Microsoft 365 Business/Enterprise (which is a prereq for this according for what they've said), they include a Windows license that can be ran on Azure for VDI. On AWS, you have to buy CALs and licensing for the instances (Windows VDA licenses? I last looked into that years ago). Or you can buy the licenses from AWS but I'm sure that's not the rate you'd pay getting them directly from Microsoft (and then you often have to use Windows Server which doesn't have things like WSL2).

That's not a gigantic barrier if you're an enterprise, but figuring out licensing for Workspaces if you don't have a couple smart Microsoft admins and money to burn is really hard. This is easy, since all of the license entitlements are enforced through their portal. (if you can start an instance you are licensed)
