This is for cloud-enabled features not presently in other terminals.

Right now, we have two relevant features:
1. The ability to share a "block" of input/output to a permalink that anyone can view.
2. A.I. command search.

Later on, for an individual, it may mean being able to sync settings across devices, fast setup of your terminal on new computers, and being able to access the command line on any device via the web.

For teams, it means we can build collaborative features. This does not mean just Google Docs-style real-time collaboration, but asynchronous collaboration through sharing commands, settings, and history. It means increased knowledge-sharing through wikis and READMEs that run directly in the terminal. It means making the terminal safer and more secure via integrated password-management and audit logging. It means making the terminal a more extensible and customizable platform, with a nice modern ecosystem.

The app works offline, just the two features I mentioned won't work.

If an account posts (other) media that repeatedly gets flagged (by many reports) as "sensitive", their other media is auto-flagged as sensitive. You're seeing that side effect.

Either way, my intention was to say: you can disable these quality filters, Twitter isn't forcing you down an ideology with no opt-out. On that note -- many of these are based on user reports: if accounts get too spammy they get put in "other replies", if they're regularly inflammatory they (might) be put in "other replies" + sensitive content, etc. But again, you can turn this filter off and see all replies together, media normally, etc.
Partly because some of the system functions like that comment, we predictably get the results we've seen.

Nobody is coming to save us, nobody else runs any mysterious system, there is nobody else. It's you and me buddy.
Instagram scaled to a 1bn usd valuation with 13 employees. Then they got acquired by facebook.

Instagram is still pretty lean from what I’ve heard.
It’s reasonably easy to build a threadripper workstation with 1TB of RAM (upgrade able to 2TB) and 2 3090’s for $20,000.

LambdaLabs will even sell you a prebuilt around that price with the same specs.

That said, I wouldn’t personally get into a pissing match over x86 Apples. I think their ARM offerings are far more interesting.
"But fission is already not competitive with solar/wind + storage."
Any source about that ? It just sounds like an arbitrary anti-nuclear opinion without any evidence backing it. But I'm still cursious if you have anything serious to prove this claim.
It makes no sense now, but there were endless experiments with physical metaphors for interacting with computers. At the time it was just not settled that this was not right around the corner and workable.
Yes. Because people won't look through the edit history for the same reason they don't read the fine print or studies that are cited. I'm pretty sure making it easier to misinterpret what tweets say is going to be even worse
> I think 'more customization' which is a theme with a lot of these alternatives is a fundamental dead end.

It doesn't need much--a single button with "Remove this site from future results".

That would solve 99% of the problem because it would destroy SEO optimization since whole swathes of people would have different criteria due to the blocked websites. It would also tell Google which websites suck if they didn't already know.

Alas, it would also destroy their ad revenue because once a site got overly scummy people would start delisting it.
> A perfect target for Musk to come in, do a few sweeping changes, and get out. Thereby proving once again that he gets shit done where others can't. Case closed.

Typical musk cult bullshit. I'm sorry, it sounds so wrong it makes me questions your honesty here.

He won't "do a few sweeping changes and get out". The only shit he will get done is abusing his influence over the top of the hierarchy to slowly but surely get more control over what gets fed to twitter users. Remember how Facebook has been crucial for election manipulation over the world? Now Musk gets to play this game too.

By the way, that's how he took over Tesla from its original founders. He invested an amount of money large enough so that he could force his way into becoming CEO. Then he fired the few remaining people who could oppose him.

So, no, he's not going to get out. Your post sounds more like "nothing to see here" than anything else. There's a big thing to see here. The richest US person calmly and openly taking over one of the largest social network in the world.

It's not over-analyzing, it's obvious. But in our troubled times such things are somehow happening in plain sight and nobody bats an eye.
Yeah, I do this. I don't like just passing time on a phone like many seem to, so anytime I get bored(lines, DMV, airport, airplane) I'll strike up conversation. Then again maybe I'm just a bit mentally unstable...
There's some truth to this, but for many sporadic jobs the cloud can be quite useful. My favorite applications are the streaming video services that have most of their traffic on Friday and Saturday night. You're right that the prices are too high for long, constant workloads, but not about this only being hobbies.

This works in everything that uses libreadline to accept user input (unless the binary has specifically configured library differently iiuc), so should work in all shell-like interfaces. You can customize the shortcuts in inputrc, likewise, for all libreadline-using binaries. By default, readline tries to be emacs-like. You can ask it to be vi-like, or reconfigure lots of its shortcuts to be similar to an editor you like. To be fair, "escape to real editor" is not a thing you usually do in an editor, so that will remain special.
If you say "all" you better at least mean "most".

We're not even over half in this case. If this person actually believes most people are already using twitter, it's clearly a problem when it comes to informing a judgement of stagnant growth.
None of those are relevant comparisons to what modern 2022 activism is. Orbital mechanics can be proven, offense over words or actions far less so.
I'm amazed that 300 is enough - especially at distance and at questionable angle / conditions. Just shows how resilient QR codes are
It requires a lot more details and you have to disclose your intentions more clearly.

He has already signed a separate agreement with twitter that he won’t go over 14 % .

Twitter has always been ripe for being targeted for a takeover it is one of the smallest social media companies it is worth only 35-40B compared to say Facebook (900+B) or TikTok (400B) and it has enormous presence and daily active users. Snapchat is not very far in valuation, but has less reach, Reddit is growing and raised the last round at $10B post but is still private and not that easy take control of. The other attractive factor the founder is no longer actively involved.

Sooner or later someone was going to attempt take over and try to improve its monetizing strategy and generate more value. 3x-5x their MCap is well within the realm of possibility for twitter if executed to a good vision.
...rummaging around my anecdote drawer...

Back in the day I heard tell of someone who did their thesis on a Macintosh (this was back when they were still Macintoshes).

Nothing to note on the surface, but the person used the program MacDraw to author it.
I use it for everything where I need to arrange images and graphical elements or put text on something (images, documents,..) in a controlled and possibly aesthetically pleasing manner.
I picked it up on sale after the recent 1.5 big huge update and after something like 75 hours, I haven't really encountered any glaring bugs and have loved it. Glad I didn't pick it up at launch otherwise my opinion may have been soured.

Incompatible libs, you say? Try this one on: once upon a time a handful of years ago a package-lock.json I worked on drifted so far from package.json that you could not remove package-lock.json and rebuild purely from package.json. The versions specified in the package.json were incompatible with each other, but the package-lock.json had somehow locked itself to a certain permutation of versions that it somehow just worked.

I always shudder to think that different versions of packages live in node_modules and one library produces an object that somehow makes it to the other version of the library and... I'd rather not think of all these implications or I would go crazy.
I compiled and typeset a hymnal of over 800 hymns using Lilypond, SQLite and Scribus, and the ability to automate the rough setup with Python scripts and then polish the layout by hand saved me probably a year's work. I would absolutely use Scribus if I ever again launched into such an impossibly huge project. It was a great experience, and the result was all I could have hoped.
There was a ban hammer for breaking out the news that Hunter Biden lost a laptop , containing sensitive emails and compromising photos. Twitter even blocked NYPost for this. 1 year later both NYTimes and WAPO both reported the laptop as real (and at least some damaging emails as real too) - that kind of news story. This kind of ban does not belong in a democratic society, it's a banana republic move.
We are absolutely open to criticism; my point is you don't even know WHAT to criticize.

Your entire argument is predicated on a flawed understanding of what we do and the resources we have to do it.

Note that I'm not saying we are perfect (or even close), and there are so many things we could do better I could write a book, but you are moving goalposts rather than addressing the points I brought up.

The plain and simple fact is that the things we do and the conditions we do them under aren't analogous to anything in the civilian sector (with some very small exceptions) and need to be looked at and understood as such.

I'll be the first person to tell people they probably shouldn't join, but it has nothing to do with this particular argument that you are making.
Maybe anyone is too broad. I mean anyone Normal can do it.
You are misinformed. In the USA, every state has a law stating licensed drivers give their implied consent to roadside DUI testing. Failure to comply will result in extra charges and almost certain conviction.
It seems like the author was broadcasting a lack of boundaries / submissiveness. Ignoring all your intuitive warning bells and letting them continue to completely dictate the reality-framing let’s them slowly build illegitimate trust. They apparently didn’t quite get the pacing right and failed, but seems like they were well on the path.
What makes you believe the GP is correct and whoever wrote that in the article is wrong, or that either are correct?
Thanks for your positive feedback, Divan!
His power is in blood diamond money from mummy and daddy during apartheid. His power is in ignoring regulations and laws he doesn't like. His power is in being a modern-day version of PT Barnum.

Execution and result-driven like that giant coffin-box he tried to claim could be used to rescue boys from a cave where rescuers were swimming through spaces so narrow they couldn't wear their diving gear?

Result-driven, power-in-execution executive who took a decade to build a luxury car that had initial quality, paint, NVH, and interior quality equal to an economy sedan made by Ford or Honda. His cars often literally don't line up the same way on the right side as they do on the left. Oh, and also about a decade to get the motor/drivetrain unit on the Model S to not destroy itself every 10,000-20,000 miles. It still can't handle being driven through too large a puddle without ingesting water through the speedo sensor port...

Autopilot routinely "phantom brakes", and FSD "Beta" likes to drive at telephone poles, veer at cyclists, and pedestrians standing on street corners.

I wish I could find the article describing his efforts to get the model 3 production fixed. Endless issues because the robots weren't assembling the cars precisely enough. He was told they needed to go back to workers assembling the cars. Ran around screaming profanity at people, demanding they fix automation. Bunch of people got up and quit to his face.

Months more of delays and issues until he finally listened to someone who had been saying all along that they needed to grow capacity by having more people assembling the cars. Boom, production volume and quality issues gone.

Musk is a rich man-baby who has relied on shouting at people to get things done.
Casual racism directed at white people is common and goes unpunished, for starters.
I want to like this, but it also feels like another way we'll all be siloed in our echo chambers. I mean I guess this ship has already sailed with Google microtargeting it's search engine users through ever-increasing surveillance capitalism tavtics, but I was kind of hoping that some day search engines would be at least one way to establish commonality among us. Alas, I know this ain't happening. And, as I'm writing this, not even sure I want that.
What a fun article. It's not about cults at all, it's about "In what order should I communicate my points to best get the point across, and are some orders unethical?"

I think about this a lot in terms of argument graphs. Imagine a DAG where premises are on the bottom and the conclusion (or conclusions) are on top. And, like most compelling arguments, the premises are unsurprising and widely held, while the conclusion is wildly counterintuitive. Finally, pretend that the argument is actually valid and true - it's legitimately something new.

In what order should you communicate the argument? Do you start top-down? The author tried that with humidifiers and it didn't work at all. Do you start at the very bottom, with the uncontroversial friendly stuff? Well, that's pretty much what the cult did.

I prefer a blend of sorts, but it's difficult to systematize. Basically, you're kind of starting at the bottom, but with little spoilers and hints of where you're trying to lead the presentation.
It depends how it is implemented
> in a small town of 200-300 people/very rural area, I take a different approach of course

Hell, in a town that size, you know the mentally unstable folks and might even enjoy chatting with (some of) them if you see 'em at the feed store.
It's not obvious that VC funding helps your long term survival, though. It's a loan, and it has to be paid back at some time, often in ways that are detrimental in the longer term. "Hypergrowth" is mostly a myth anyway: slow and steady will win any race.

If the business model for this was:
1) fully open source
2) ~$2.99 per user per month
3) more for team features
4) paid plugins and themes
5) opt-in and inspectable telemetry

They’d probably get their million paying users in the first year.

For this crucial part of this target market’s (engineers) toolkit, it HAS to A) be open source and B) have the option for zero telemetry.

Inb4: “if it was open source why would people pay for it?!?”
Because at the right price people are happy to pay and support something they love and get low-effort trustworthy updates built in.
The problem I have with Pharo is that there are hundreds if not thousands of types — each with their own fiddly interfaces. I don't have time for that. I much prefer the Clojure philosophy of having few types that can do it all.
I can't speak to Sribus. But also, another aspect of publishing was complete and total control over page layout. Not document layout, page layout.

Notably this including things like adjusting the spacing on a particular line in order to prevent a line break, hyphenation, word wrap, or even creeping on to another page. It's not just about setting fonts and margins, but goes deeper than that.
I interpret the heading of the graph (not Marc Andreessen's tweet) to say there were 40% fewer small businesses opened on June 2, 2021 compared to Jan 2020. I assume that now we are exiting the pandemic the number is much higher than June 2021.

It's normal most places in the US, not just the south. I've had plenty of light conversations with strangers in public spaces in the Northeast.
Requiring login and claiming not to sell PII look contradictory though, and will prevent some people (me for instance) from using your service.
Isn't it based off of the Cyberpunk TTRPG?

I also loved the game. Really don't understand all the hate it received.
This easily shades into love-bombing, which is a standard recruitment technique. "Oh, you're so interesting." Etc.

I deliberately went to a private meeting to see how all of this worked, and it was me and two recruiters with a huge picture of the cult leader.

Super awkward. We asked each other a lot of questions.

One of mine was "Are you sure you're not a cult?"

"Oh no. We're definitely not a cult. Why would you think that? Ha ha. Oh dear. No."

As cults go, I didn't get the impression they were very successful.
I’ve been buying mp3 albums from Amazon recently, which has been great because I can load them into my local MPD daemon for playback. I have a pandora account, which admittedly is how I discovered all this music in the first place, but MPD takes up next to no resources, so I end up using that most of the time!
Let's be honest here, If we remove ads, and blocked all SEO spam domains, Google results are good! I've never seen any new search engines including the new ones, even close to the quality of Google results.

In fact, I am excited about their new feature multimodal search https://blog.google/products/search/introducing-mum/

> transitioning doesn’t change your gender, it only aligns your outward appearance to the gender you have always been

Is that really true? There's a growing body of evidence that "the gender you have always been" doesn't really apply as a general case. For example: detransitioners, autogynephiles, abusive parents attempting to 'trans the gay away' in their kids, and so on.

Of course there are people who also report having felt like their dissonant gender identity for as long as they remember, and will for the rest of their lives. But this is not universal.

Seems there are many reasons why one may decide on transitioning, and not all of them are positive.
Some people print flyers about fundraisers and leave them in the break room at work, where the only identifying information is a QR code.

I don't know if it's a widespread practice - is this how most people get their Girl Scout cookies now?
What's stopping you? We're not all going, because I'm not going. For me, it's netflix and done. I don't have time or inclination to mess around with torrents.
My comparison was about business models of these "evil" cases in general, not about terminals particularly. On general, free apps tends to need find a balance how much users can tolerate their "exploitation" and how much they get from the app, if the app maker wants to make some money.

I don't personally see any reason to swap terminal with telemetry. One of my worst fears that some day I am forced to.
just to make sure i understand, is the formula

(upvotes / age_in_hurs^1.6) * lot_of_penalties

or is it

(upvotes / (age_in_hurs^1.6 * lot_of_penalties))
Generally in the US it is legal for a random person to fly a drone above your private property. Only some states and localities have laws against it.
I personally love when people do that. I'm a homeschooling stay at home father, so I don't have a wide or close social circle; I thrive on those casual conversations.
Author here – you are correct, I tried to golf a relatively long script down to one line, and I failed :) The post has been updated.
Hacker and Crypto are semi-slang. Seeing a basic technical term misunderstood this way is just cringe. AI might be another worthy crusade but I'm not an AI person.

Honestly I don't think it's so much the loss of the word as much as the people are being mislead about its meaning. If they knew some of them might use a different word.
I seem to remember a very classic rant about how bad Irix was back then but I can't seem to find it.

Your question isn't grounded in reality.

For nearly everybody, money determines if you can achieve your "endgame" goals. If my "endgame" goal is to retire on a cruise ship and travel the world while sipping Mai-Tais by the pool, I'm not going to achieve that working minimum wage.

If my ideal life is just sitting around playing video games, I'm not going to achieve that without doing some work somewhere to pay the bills.

The romantic notion that people should stop working jobs they hate and just do what they love only works in one of three scenarios:

1. You have enough money saved that you don't have to make a wage to pay the bills

2. "What you love" also happens to be very profitable.

3. "What you love" is living in a tent downtown begging people for change so you can eat your next meal.
A semiconductor or EV company is not borrowing to chase "hyper growth", though. They need that money to literally set up shop.
> I recently wrote to delete all the VAX/OS2/DOS/Amiga code from GNU Make and it ended up being 201,049 lines of deletions.

That commit 10a766eb you linked to appears to have significantly more than removal of those architectures -- you also appear to have deleted all the tests, documentation, and support for multiple (human) languages. Of the portions of diff which aren't deleted files, many of the deletions seem to be around code reformatting (i.e. they add a line for each line they remove), and removal of includes which your libc doesn't need / support. I do see that you have removed several #ifdef VMS (and similar) stanzas, but the vast bulk of the changes are either removal of, or modifications to, unrelated files.

Although I agree instinctively that we shouldn't expect to run the latest version of Make on the VAX in our basement, this diff doesn't make that argument very well and IMO borders on disingenous.

Or, to put it another way, after looking at your diff, I feel much happier about your hypothetical make-on-Amiga afficionado, because I know that they also care about i18n, documentation, and testing!
It's kind of funny when recruitment happens in a much clumsier fashion, like when I was in college there was a clean-cut sweaty guy hanging out next to the pharmacy counter, and he kept looking at me and fidgeting. Finally, when I walked a little closer and glanced at him for some direct eye contact, he blurted out, "Do you want to go to church with me?!?"

At the time I thought it was creepy - years later I'm like... aww, poor kid. He must have been so nervous!
