It's an interesting idea. But to play devil's advocate, consider the following scenario:

The operating system (OS) is written in Rust but apps or programs can be written in any language. However, the Rust-written OS tightly controls access to every feature of the OS.

Examples:

- If your app needs to access the internet it can only do so through an OS-level API. (This means the OS can record inbound and outbound connections from your app - easily seen by users too.)

- App updates are only possible through an OS API for this purpose i.e. apps cannot initiate an internet connection without using the OS-level update API. (This also makes it easy for users see when apps last checked for updates and the URL the app connects to.)

- Apps require installation using a mandatory OS installation API. No executable can bypass this (even single exe files). The OS records every single file the program installs. Core or critical OS folders are off-limits. Attempts to install files to these folders or locations are forbidden by the OS.

- Related to the above, apps can only be installed in a designated 'Apps' sandbox-like folder. Simply copying an executable to any location on the hard drive is not permitted.

The above probably sounds overbearing if you are a developer. But consider the experience on the other side - as a user. For every application, you can inspect the location of installed app files. (Compare that to the current situation where apps happily spew installation files with abandon anywhere.)

As a user, the OS makes it easy to inspect when an app connects to the internet and lets you choose to block if you suspect any mischief.

So what would be the better scenario? The Rust OS with Rust-only apps? Or a tightly-controlled Rust OS with apps permitted in any language?
Maybe it's just a special case of "Nothing is forever"?

I've recently came across what appears to be a pretty sober take on what is being a soldier about from Ukrainian soldier[0]. It's likely much different if one serves during peace time or away from the front lines.

It is not effectively censorship. Censorship is not effective if it merely makes communication slightly less convenient.

>Do you remember when Trump was banned from Twitter?!?

Yes, and he deserved it. And yet everything Donald Trump says and does still gets national press coverage, and he's starting his own social media platform with a backlog of millions of followers. It's garbage, but that isn't censorship's fault.

We should all wish to be so censored.
I appreciate memory safety in applications that handle and interpret data controlled by third-parties. Kitty and Alacritty stand apart as written in memory safe languages, unlike the vast majority of terminal emulators which are written in C/C++. Doesn't mean their bug-free, but they're less likely to have trivial RCE vulnerabilities.
At least it’s not electron
your target audience will never opt-in though
Multiple times, I've seen inoffensive personalities be internally promoted to C level positions ahead of more politically savvy (and often more effective) candidates. This often takes place after the departing executive has a strong personality or leaves for contentious reasons. Everyone wants someone nice and trustworthy and unambitious to take over so that the organization can heal. I'm guessing this is what happened at Twitter.

How to maneuver into this position? Maybe you could get hired to an important role at an organization with an unstable CEO, and make sure that you are friends with everyone and don't piss anyone off. Then wait for the CEO to lose their shit completely.
If you squint this isn't that far different from rundeck, ansible tower, etc. or other devops platforms that focus on collaborative management and maintenance of machines, services, etc. If they market to the kubernetes space in particular I suspect there's a market for devops teams there--the ecosystem is flooded with CLI tools and best practices but very little primary panes of glass to manage them all or tie them together. It's not too far of a jump to start offering a managed cloud service with these services.
Yes, being tall and assertive is more common among males. What point are you trying to make?

Have you seen https://acko.net/blog/on-termkit/ from 2011 ? Comments from around this time on various site may give you insight.
There's a lot of mud-flinging in this thread about the superiority of this software or that.

Frankly, this is all BS. All of these softwares are capable of producing professional results. The difference is made by the user, not the software. Learn one of them; any one of them. Learn it well. The individual choice in the end is just a preference, but does not determine quality. You do. Thankfully.

(That's a bit like modern cameras. They are all great. They are all capable of professional results. The individual choice in the end doesn't matter.)
What time do you start though?
"Windows 365 Switch is the second option being added. Like the name implies, this integration will let Windows 365 users switch between a local desktop and a Cloud PC within Windows 11. It will be integrated into the Task View (virtual desktops) feature of Windows 11, and all of the same keyboard shortcuts and swipe gestures will be supported.

Microsoft is also working on a Windows 365 offline feature, which will allow you to work locally when you don’t have connectivity to access a Cloud PC. “When connectivity is restored, the Cloud PC will automatically resync with the Windows 365 service without data loss so the user experience and workflow are persistent,” says McKelvey."

==

It seems like Microsoft is not too far away from bringing a lot of the "Plan 9" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs) features into the mainstream with Windows 11.

While I am skeptical of many things that Microsoft does, the potential for distributed computing is exciting. It would be impressive if they developed the capabilities to seamlessly offload computing tasks to cloud computers and effectively "push and pull" a user's desktop regardless of where they are or which computer they use.
google is not just search anymore, why stuck with a title that pretends we are living in 2004?
What likely happened in this case is they gave GP a burger intended for someone who ordered it 'plain'. The slips McDonalds uses to attach special order tags to the sandwich wrappers are prone to falling off or being overlooked.
I think something really important here, is that it has been agreed that Elon Musk is not to be more than 14.9% beneficial owner of the companies common stock. I'm not a lawyer, but this also looks like a tactic saying "Let's give Elon a voice on the board so he doesn't buy controlling interest in the company."

Elon is being forced (or heavily incentivized at least) to liquify Tesla stocks, so he's going to be looking for alternate places to put that money to avoid the consequences of holding on to liquid capital, this limits him from putting too much of it into Twitter, and being more than just a board member.

Gives stockholders & existing board members what they want (retaining control of the business, and makes it harder for Elon to build a competitor), while giving Elon what he wants (influence in the business). This sounds like a win-win.
Do you track input during beta?
I think they each capture different markets. Google is simple because for most people it is “good enough”. Google isn’t going to spend a ton of time developing new features for the (large) minority that find it inadequate.

Google also has a few good things going for them:

- it’s the standard when it comes to search and is setup by default on just about every platform

- People use the brand name itself when talking about looking stuff up (no one says “just duck it”)

- They control the ad market, the standards for what a “optimized” site is, and the web standards themselves.
> The changing wind that Elon is going to usher in is going to be fundamental and sweeping...

Could you be a bit more specific? What direction do you think the change will be in?
Your sterotypical grandfather who worked 9-5 and earned enough every five years to buy a new house in a relatively middle-of-the-road job did so because of a prosperity boom following WW2 which was built on the back of repairing economic hardship and was a rather unique time in history even for being a boom portion of the cycle. Compare that to your father working in the 70s where twice annual cost-of-living adjustments to account for rapid inflation were the norm - or the 1920s and earlier in America where the majority of people suffered under absolutely atrocious working conditions and lived entire lives trapped in debt cycles to a single company.

It ebbs and it flows - there are times in history you can fondly remember for their plenty and times you can remember for their scarcity.

The only really new trend, IMO, is that in the modern world (I think for the first time ever) working continuously for the same company is a financial trap. The strangest innovation of the current day is that churn is accepted and retaining skilled employees is de-emphasized compared to... hiring new replacement employees with less skill. This incredibly bonkers habit has gained wide enough acceptance that it's sort of the default business state.
> However, I have always felt that discoverability of these Erlang capabilities has always been not that great.

I think the main reason is that the docs of stdlib are split between a number of "applications" (in OTP sense) and that there's no index of all the modules in one place (or I couldn't find one). So, starting here: https://www.erlang.org/docs/24/applications.html you need to open at least erts, kernel, and stdlib in separate tabs, and remember to search in all 3 for even basic things. And that's just library reference - there's also manual for Erlang, OTP, and many of the applications. Fortunately, manual and reference of the same app are often interlinked.

correct me if i'm wrong, but it sounds like the monetization strat here is to sell this to companies for their teams to use to increase collaboration. it would follow then that most-everything (?) i'm doing is being mirrored to a remote server. presumably, your target market would be engineers.

if true, as an engineer, i'm a hard pass.
I use direnv to source environment variables - the only scripts I use it for consist of "export" statements. Anything beyond that and I'll be questioning it.

Sure, you can trick idiots into running malicious code, but I don't think you need direnv for that - any pip/npm install can run anything and so does curl|bash.
Blade Runner (filmed in 1981) has a famous scene in a street-side noodle joint where the characters speak a mishmash of Japanese and other languages. Another famous scene features a geisha on a giant computerized billboard.

Blade Runner was based on a Philip K Dick book from 1968. Neuromancer is pretty obviously influenced by these.
It all seemed like valid criticism to me. It wasn't at all pattern-matching to things they know, it was evaluating and critiquing in each in term, and preferring one or the other for various reasons.
Well, like I answered in another comment, Blade Runner is not a good example because Neuromancer wasn't published by then, and also because it was a groundbreaking visual work of art, not a derivative one (yes, I'm aware of Metropolis. The point still stands.)

> "[...] a determination to avoid what Gibson sees as right wing tendencies in Golden Age SF"

That was no small feat. It seems pretty major to me. It took me some work to mature from my young SF fan self to notice the rightwing undertones in much of it. Call it naivete, if you want.

What are modern cyberpunk derivatives fighting against? Cyberpunk today is codified as a consumer-friendly, eye-popping style, complete with a collection of tropes so ingrained fans will fight you to the death if you try to deviate so much as an inch from them.

Have a look at some of the OSINT accounts on twitter. They show footage of killings, date stamped to show they occured during Russia's occupation, they show dead bodies in the streets for days or weeks before the Ukrainian armed forces liberated the towns. The evidence is there, your statement implies only the Pentagon can confirm or deny the truth. Actually the pentagon isn't independent enough to be able to confirm these attrocities.
If they lose their job in San Francisco bay they just take a new job in San Francisco bay. This is, IMO, why housing essentially never goes down in the bay (until either Prop 13 is repealed or the big earthquake hits and a lot of people are scared out of town).

But there are plenty of areas in America where if you lose you're job you're moving, regardless of whether you particularly want to. No one wants to sell stocks at a loss either, and yet people do.

So my bet is that if there's a recession home prices will go down. Time will tell.
They’re free to do what they want, I’m not saying how dare they. It’s just a common pattern of companies saying “I will give you anything you to do something against your preference as long as it costs us nothing.”

Exploitative would be forcing employees back to the office.
Darktable and RawTherapee are fairly Lightroom-like (but different enough that you shouldn't be surprised when things are, well, different), but Filmulator might actually be the best fit for your preferences.

Regardless, the best way to get an answer to your question about DNG is probably to try some of these programs with your files and see if you encounter any problems. DNG is typically better supported than camera-specific raw formats.

Not for nothing, there can be a lot of value in simplifying things that could be trivially solved on a small scale by a programmer in an afternoon. A classic Hackernews comment about Dropbox and rsync comes to mind... sure doesn't seem be the case for Fast though.
There are plenty of profiles for "people".

This is the thing. I'm the power user in my circle. People comes to me for suggestions about pretty much anything involving tech. Sometimes just because they see me with different stuff.

So if I'm not the average user I may look for other options, as other people like me may do. If I find such options reasonable for the average user, that will be my recommendation to them.
As a Twitter user, I'm very OK with this.
Or prefix it with a "Final product will be ..."
It definitely does yes and that is the default. CaptureOne is basically the highest tier of the proprietary photo editing apps out there. You do not need one of their very expensive medium format cameras to use it
I reread Neuromancer recently and it was surreal reading all the refs in it to The Matrix. literally

I'm rereading Snow Crash now and you cant go 10 pages without reading about The Metaverse. and so much of its VR world reminds me of Ready Player One

Another interesting contemporary work by a writer who’s still relevant is James Fallows’ “Looking at the Sun.” A solid attempt at sense-making the late 80s economic situation vis-a-vis Japan for the American middle management class, contrasting their institutions with ours… but China is just kind of a shadow in the background of the whole thing.
This is certainly interesting, but I am struggling to sign up.

I clicked "Sign up with GitHub", it took me to the website where I authorized it. It was seemingly working until I saw this:

"Oops! We were unable to log you in."
“Command not found: git. Did you mean github(tm)?”
I don’t really understand what you mean but I’d like to hear details.
1. No I didn't.

I engaged with the question and responded, essentially, "there may not be a universally right answer to your question." I just didn't respond the way wished I would.

And, in general, I would say it's not ok to forcefully take property because you made the judgement that the property would be better used in your hands, but I won't say there are no exceptions to that. Again, life is complex. Abandon ideology.

2. I think you are overdue for some humble self-reflection.
The practical disk usage difference between pnp and pnpm appears to be almost entirely accounted for by the fact that pnp zips almost all packages. Both store ~1 version of each package-version on disk; it's just that one's zipped and one's not. The mapping entries for package edges in both cases (.pnp.cjs for pnp and the symlink farms for pnpm) are very small in comparison.
That’s awesome. Seems like a great sport
Pathways was the first time when Google got to a level where they could collapse multiple searches into one. They needed working chain-of-thought prompting to make deep learning useful for researching solutions for problems.

Both I think. Or maybe not. But you definitely make a good point about the cleaning - we probably do not want to control our dreams. And it also has a function in long term memory (basically the equivalent of writing RAM to disk) so who knows how controlling them might affect that.

That's an important callout! By console output, we really mean output from the pseudoterminal, which includes command input and output printed to the terminal.

Not sure it's that it was left unread or if it just doesn't matter.

As best as I can tell, it just means he won't overtly threaten the company with a takeover or equivalent because he's been given soft power to influence.

My lay reading suggests that Twitter is now basically operating at his whims to keep him from leaving the board and executing a takeover plan 90 days thereafter.
Here's my idea!

The terminal is totally free for individuals. Our business model is to make the terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features.

We will not degrade your experience: we would never charge for anything a terminal currently does. No paywalls around SSH or features that don't cost us money. We will never sell your data. We treat privacy seriously at Warp: check out www.warp.dev/privacy for more information.

We are planning to open-source parts and potentially all of the terminal.

The issue is having to wait for someone else to do it. I feel the same way as a gamer waiting for third party fans to build mods/fixes/overlays that fix issues of a game that the dev decided not to implement for whatever reason. Good that it happens, wish it really didn't because now your product is more purchasable to some people because someone other than you fixed it.
The user does not get a choice
He's specifically looking for the engineering crowd at HN. I hadn't heard about Warp and I've been on HN every day since 2010. Give the guy a break.
Social engineering has _always_ been a huge factor, either allowing exploits or making them worse. This has been true in tech since at _least_ the 70s. Realistically it's been true as long as society bigger than a household has existed.
How did I miss the point? I summarized exactly what you wrote in the post you responded to.

We can't talk to each other because you're coming from a value-relative perspective ("people value different things, no one is wrong, and we can't say why"). To me this is insane. If someone values 5 dollars more than their life, we can question that. When people say Elon Must being a mean person on twitter outweighs everything he's built, we can question that.

And I never said anything about money.
It's easy to look at Musk's tweets and think he's just doing buying in so he can shitpost more effectively, but he is savvy enough to realize that Twitter is not nearly as valuable as it could be. Its reach is as huge as any network and anyone with a public presence "has to" be on it.

The big knock against it is that users and brands are afraid of spontaneous howling mobs. Fewer users means less reach and fewer brands means less $$$. My guess would be that he has some ideas about how to change this. Maybe (spitballing here) more tools for users who are QT'd?
The OP's comment is not grounded in reality.

The U.S. used Chinese factories because they were cheap. Emphasis on "were." Companies have been switching away from China en masse (to India, Vietnam, Thailand, etc.) for at least the past decade because China is no longer the cheap option. Frequently, including shipping costs (even before COVID) it was cheaper to just get stuff made in America if you could find a supplier. Hell, my last 3 years at a firm were devoted almost entirely to helping companies restructure their international operations out of China to cheaper countries.

The U.S. won't take serious action against China because China took Russia's place as the global counterweight to the U.S. But it has absolutely nothing to do with China's so-called economic leverage, because China doesn't have any over the U.S. anymore.
Ah yes, on the physical/acoustical description of Physics I agree that it's more descriptive and physical.
> His companies compensate engineers below market, does he not?

If that's true, those engineers would leave for better jobs.

If you think like an economist, the fact that his engineering departments remain fully staffed shows they're paid enough.

I'll take that as fact over angry internet rumors about a controversial billionaire.
