When I went through this about 3 years ago, the approach for System Design was to read the Data Intensive Application Development book, go through the Grokking System Design course, read all the summary materials I could find, watch a bunch of YouTube videos on specific examples and deep dive into areas I felt weak at. Took notes throughout and refreshed myself before every interview.

> people going through your trash is quite a nuisance.

Sure, but who is ultimately responsible for this, the people going through the trash, or the people who have structured our society in such a way that there are people who think their best option in life is to scavenge other people's trash? Because I'm pretty sure that the people going through the trash would stop in an instant if they were offered a better alternative.

> The "shell" I'm suggesting still would run all those programs they just would be a direct child process of what would normally be just a terminal instead of a child of a bash process.

I think you misunderstood. As I understand it, if you run in the shell:

$ yourshell

it would open up a new terminal/shell combination, a new window.

In there, if you run vim, and then you `:set shell=yourshell`, then `:shell`, would that open up a new window or work like the shells of today and give a prompt in the same window? If you run `:!make`, would that open up a new window, print the output there, then close a millisecond later without giving the user a chance to review?

If you `usermod -s /bin/yourshell $your_user`, would logging into that computer via ssh cause it to try to open a new window locally and not provide a prompt to sshd like shells of today do?

If you run vim from an ssh session, then you do `:!make`, would the user see the output anywhere?

> I am not sure how the gdb example works

It redirects the std file descriptors of the child process it's debugging to the terminal specified, like how one would do with `< $empty_tty &> $empty_tty`. This is so that gdb can be controlled from the terminal it was launched from without the child process interfering in terminal input/output, and at the same time allowing one to interact with that child process. E.g. `gdb -tty $empty_tty htop` would have you control `gdb` from the terminal invoked from, and `htop` from `$empty_tty`.

> one thing I wanted was the ability to manage multiple programs running at the same time

Shells have mechanisms for that. Terminals too.

> Maybe the shell could have a feature to execute a `gdb -tty` process with arguments pointing it at the pid.

`gdb -tty` is an example. The idea has uses beyond gdb. If you're debugging a program, you can edit the source at a specific point to run a REPL and have its input and output come from the terminal specified. It could be an already established unused terminal to keep history in the scrollback buffer, or a new terminal. Whatever the case, a forced shell gets in the way.

More than anything, the core issue with the idea is that I see no benefit at all from combining the shell and terminal. That terminal/shell combination still needs to do what terminals of today do so that other programs can use it to interact with the user. I'm not even talking about escape sequences, just read and write. And if it's providing that, why would the shell need to be combined with it? If it can be separated, it's better separated. That's more in-line with the unix philosophy:

1. Write programs that do one thing and do it well.

2. Write programs to work together.

It also allows users to switch shells or terminals as they'd prefer. They don't need to consider giving up terminal features because they don't like the shell or vice versa.

Firefox has been in decline for 12 years because it only exists for the FAANG companies to throw money at so they can dodge claims of being a monopoly. It is not there to be useful nor to make a profit.

Their core business is taking money from large companies and performatively acting like a company to look like 'competition.'

It won't stop anyone who has the skill to author cheats themselves (i.e. someone with basic reversing and programming experience) but it does do a good job of detecting and banning players who are using widely distributed "commercial" cheats.

I look at EAC as being very analogous to a virus scanner, very easy to bypass if you know what you're doing, but good at catching the common and soon-to-be common threats. It also puts up enough roadblocks to make some novice attempts at cheating inconvenient at least.

Source: I deal with all the anti-cheat stuff (including EAC) on a semi-popular multi-player game. I can verify that it does make a very tangible difference to our player base in terms of the number of cheaters they are exposed to on a per match or per session basis.
Because you can write back to the same bucket at different prefixes if you want to.

It's simply simpler to split the buckets in my case.

I added further checks to not only check the bucket made sense but also that the inbound and outbound had the correct prefixes.

So if another person does the same it'll catch both ways.

Brief research doesn't really appear to support that - grass fed cows seem to put on weight much slower, and therefore produce methane longer, and the methane of course degrades into CO2 (hence the 'effective' amount of CO2 over a given time period). But the differences between the two seem to be relatively small-ish (certainly 'different sized apples' rather than apples and oranges).

Like you, I don’t choose Firefox because of some privacy features. I use it because it doesn’t have completely bonkers “history” feature like Chromium does, and because it seems fast and I’m used to it.

Also, I must be blind but I didn’t notice any diff with the tabs in that recent update where everyone freaked out because the tabs were slightly different. The tabs are still fine!

Come to think of it I don’t have any complaints about Firefox, so I’m not sure why I’m bothering to contribute my thoughts here.
Crazy question: is there any modern non hippie non communist movement to attempt a project like this.

Recently ive been interested in adopting something like an atheist mennonite lifestyle.

On the other hand there's no new age spiritual or radical political philosophy. I just want to simplify my life and be in a small community of like minded people.

I intuitively feel like Im not the only one thats interested in this but have not found any organized attempt to do something like it. has anyone ever seen or heard of anything like it?

Yes, I completely agree that HN has a massive cognitive dissonance about this. They're so used to venture capitalists and FAANG companies lighting billions of dollars on fire to subsidize money-losing but moat-building projects that they have completely unrealistic expectations about what is reasonable for the other 99.99% of the universe (without magic money fountains propping them up) to do sustainably.

But the reality is that because of this, browsers are commoditized, and the average user will never pay for a browser if they can get Chrome or Safari for free. That's probably true of the average HN user, too, for that matter.

Re 1/2 - I don't follow? The criticism is not against fixed array types or statics. It's that it has those traits and there is no escape hatch. Functional languages with strong type systems are flexible enough to operate over arrays/strings generically. And static/global is absolutely used. The difference is nowadays there are stronger controls to access (e.g. rust's lifetimes and borrow checking).
