I just got into the sprawl series over the past couple of months. Finished Neuromancer and count zero, now blazing through Mona Lisa overdrive.

It's such an amazing series, it so good I find myself trying to pace myself while reading it so I can gestate more of the world and think about it for a while.

I rarely find a book or series that captivates me to this level so I'm basically in love with the sprawl trilogy right now. After I'm done ill probably read Gibsons other stuff because he is really good.

I don't follow the drama. I only hear good things about Rust from the folks here at HN's, I personally never got interested in checking it out.

But I don't quite follow why it's so important to know what programming language was used to build your closed source binary terminal app. Cool you used Rust. Why should I care?

I use iTerm2 as my Terminal. Their homepage doesn't tell me which language it was written in, it has a nice page that highlights its features, and an extensive FAQ. In neither of these places language choices are highlighted. You only see that once you go into their gitlab, which is what I expect.

It's mostly Objective-C BTW.

I have found that this only works if you take recommendations with the understanding that you're almost always getting "the reddit answer". Every sub has theirs, and their reasoning might be because they agree with some entirely unrelated thing, and have bonded over that to the point that other recommendations between each other are heavily weighted and rapidly creates a "go to" response.

Example: check r/sandiego for [insert type of taco] suggestions. There should be thousands of options if you're actually from San Diego but you'll get 5 or 6 at most that stand out a lot, and 1 or 2 that get the most up votes or responses.

Now that may in fact be the "best" (depending on your and their definition) but you might also find that it's just the restaurant that has the most interesting social media presence, or the one you go to in order to signal that you're "one of us". Maybe that's exactly what you want, maybe it's what you want to avoid, but either way it's important to know the mood and trends of the subreddit as well as general reddit culture (and don't tell me it doesn't exist).
> but it’s better than blindly trusting lighthouse/web.dev

Interesting use of "blindly". Using lighthouse or other accessibility checkers is better than not considering accessibility at all, and has a much lower barrier for developers and development orgs than integrating screen readers into the development lifecycle.

I was in an org where our QA team actually used our sites with screen readers, and yet we still ran automated accessibility tests on our codebase. This is because we can catch issues earlier and more easily, and reduce the amount of issues making it to manual QA which is much more time consuming and expensive.

Manual QA testers using screenreaders are also not perfect and miss a lot of nuances :)
I loved Coast and wrote at least one production app with it (and very quickly and pleasantly at that), but it needs to be said that swlkr is the only developer, and he seems to have mostly moved on to Janet (https://janet-lang.org/). Case in point, the last real updates to Coast were 2 years ago, and - unlike other Clojure libraries - not because this project was /finished/.

Yeah, according to your own linked report there were only "93,902 ceasefire violations" in 2021 with the violations clearly growing by the end of report period. I don't know anything about the credibility of this report, but your own evidence refutes your argument.

One of the things I saw when playing with it is that they emphasize searching and intellisense reliant style programming with autocomplete, ie, make a guess and let intellisense tell you the object/type/whatever you're playing with. So you don't technically have to read their implementations, if you know how to leverage intellisense properly. In fact Microsoft specifically sped up intellisense with Unreal Engine (but the changes affect all intellisense users): https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/18x-faster-intellisen...

I take your point, but if somebody called me a 'porky pig' in the first month of a new job, I'd probably a) quit, and b) assume the organization was seriously messed up. I'm not a particularly sensitive person, but I don't want to waste my time on an organization where high levels of interpersonal aggression is normal.

Intuitively, you'd expect organizations that have management styles that make everybody miserable to have high turnover and low productivity. That's why it doesn't make sense to me when militaries actively teach and propagate management styles that are, by normal standards, misery-inducing.

We started with Electron/Typescript and pivoted to Rust when it was clear that the performance was unfeasible for certain workloads (e.g. scrolling on 4k monitors).

If we already had a C++ terminal, I don't know that we would've rewritten in Rust. Starting from scratch, we were able to build an app and ship features in a good cadence.

We mention Rust in our marketing, because when talking about our features like blocks, code editor, visual menus, people automatically think "slow".

Ask HN: How to Combat Imposter Syndrome?
Hi HN!

In recent years I’ve grown weary of working for large companies and have longingly looked at taking up either bigger roles in smaller firms or launching something myself.

I am, however, burdened with imposter syndrome and seemingly always tending towards IC roles where I can hide away.

I have technical knowledge. I’m a seller. I’ve digested plenty of books on the intersection between business, innovation, technology, and organisational psychology. I have recruiters calling me daily. And I’ve worked with some of the biggest companies on the planet but I cannot overcome the feeling that I shouldn’t be there.

When I’ve tried to push myself above the parapet in more personal-centric pursuits (e.g. posting to social media to develop my presence, or launching internal campaigns) I feel physically sick and often succumb to feelings of anxiety where I’ll either stop working on something or sabotage it. At current I find this is limiting my progress and my ambition of taking on positions of leadership.

So, HN, my question more specifically is - how do you combat imposter syndrome, and are there any techniques that you’ve used to reduce it’s impact?
Either github's systems are good enough for you to use, or they aren't.

If they aren't, you need to find or implement something that is good enough.

> I’ve wanted a terminal that has a decent multi line editor for years, and there’s nothing out there.

You can go the other direction.

Install neovim. Run `:terminal`. optionally run `:help Terminal-mode` first so you can figure out how to get out.
How accurate do you want it to be?

Picking a random story from the BBC front page, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-61002096 , what do you think is inaccurate about it? Do you think the MD has not resigned? That there have not been queues? That they have mistaken the names of people involved? That Manchester does not in fact exist and is a liberal conspiracy?

(The main problem with political news is disproportionate coverage, double standards of scandal, and the selection of who gets quoted - as well as a vast area of "op-ed" which is not technically news but is on the same websites.

As well as reporting on "future" or "possible" events, which by definition are difficult to be accurate about)

Of course this is nonsense what you say about nations. But it pales in comparison to this:

> This is a consequence of sanctions, that are in turn a consequence of invading a country to start a genocide and destroy and loot as many as possible.

So you are calling for the punishment of people who have protested the criminal regimes and had to flee Russia and Belarus to save their lives? Just yesterday there was an assessment on Twitter that advancement on Kiev stalled because Belarus partisans kept disrupting railway lines. Now you support AirBnb decision to refuse those partisans service, if they'd ever need to escape the country. That's .. just wow.

When I was young, I thought how could it be that European countries have turned their backs on Jews fleeing the Nazi Germany. But now I see a lot of that very kind of people, very content with their virtue now they 'punished' evil russians.

I made the mistake of saying "Windows" instead of "Microsoft". I didn't mean to indicate that it somehow works better on Windows. I'm running it on Linux and don't have Windows, so I couldn't even be the judge of that. Thank you for this clarifying statement, it helped me to understand.

I was also not aware that .NET 6 is not the same as .NET Framework, so that was my mistake. I'm partly going to blame my ignorance on Microsoft for that one; for us folks that don't develop in M$ land, these distinctions can be subtle.

What I _meant_ to say was that I wish it weren't such a Microsoft-centric language framework.

I am unable to find a link, and IIRC this was reported 10 years ago or so. I recall an attribution to German designers or architects. I cannot remember where exactly it was reported, but I remember it as moderately plausible reporting, although not in a journal.

A quick estimate with soil:

Take a specific gravity of 2.7 gm/cm^3, a specific heat of 0.2 cal/gm-K, and 1 cal ~ 4.2J ~ 4.2 W-sec. For a cube 25 m (2500cm) on a side, if I am not mistaken this suggests a thermal inertia of about 3.5E10 W-sec/K.

Now take a thermal conductivy of 1 W/m-K. For a slab of 25m x 25m, also with a thickness of 25m, we get a net conductivity of 25 W/K .

Then 3.5E10 W-sec/K divided by 25 W/K gives 1.4E9 sec . Given 3E7 sec/year, that suggests about 47 years.

Aka a 50 year time scale.

Of course this assumes a low water table.
Wow, this is just unbelievable. You don't say anywhere on your privacy page that you are associating this data with specific users.
