Thanks for responding, it's good that you're thinking about these problems.

> I feel pretty strongly that the terminal ought to be cloud-native

This seems like an oxymoron to me. A terminal is not cloud-native; it does network with the host machine, but a local shell is inherently local. If you've built the cloud part first, then you're building this product in reverse.

You're welcome to explore whatever avenues please you, but I'm not convinced there's much business to be found in cloud-native local shells.

> configuration issues, we are trying as fast as we can to fix them.

No sweat, I don't actually use Warp. This isn't a legitimate concern for me to level, just an example of the infinite treadmill of issues that you need to solve in a closed-source project. If alacritty has a configuration issue, the community fixes it. The way you've structured your project makes it extremely hard for your community to help you here.

> We are 100% planning on bringing warp to more platforms as fast as we can.

I wish you luck, it's hard work carving out a market segment of your own. I look forward to how your future features stack up against other terminals.

For a concrete example, have a look at SQLite. SQLite is Public Domain, but it's used virtually everywhere, from phones to airplanes (https://www.sqlite.org/famous.html).

Not all companies are going to trust that something is actually public domain. So, you can get a "Warranty of Title" for SQLite. See https://sqlite.org/copyright.html

And those companies might not be satisfied with "community support". So, you can get paid support for SQLite. See https://sqlite.org/prosupport.html

Ask HN: Which of you used to be lurkers?

I'm not a psychologist, but my feeling is that US culture's over-emphasis on punishment as a means for victims to find closure is a disservice to crime victims and their families. Particularly for major crimes that result in long trials, it seems like many victims or their families are strung along with the hope that the outcome of the trial will finally make them emotionally whole, only to discover at the end that no amount of punishment will make them feel whole. Their time, effort, and anxiety put into following the trial would have been much better spent trying to quickly move on to integration and acceptance. Waiting for the trial to end delays the healing process by years.
This is like saying "There aren't enough high-paying jobs".

Remote is one property of a job to select for.

You may not value it high enough to compromise on other parameters.

Sure, there aren't enough remote jobs for everyone to have one.

But everyone doesn't want a remote job, just like everyone wants a high-paying job. (Sure, everyone wants money. But they want to work excessive hours, or work in a field they find questionable? Well, maybe high pay isn't always a good trade-off either.)

What's an example of Edison or Tesla doing multiple "revolutionary things no one's ever done all at once"? I'm genuinely interested, but details matter a lot. For example, the Edison company's contribution to electric light was mainly extending the life and reducing the amperage of light bulbs. Other people had already demonstrated the potential of electric light.
Latest Twitter lawsuit says company targeted women for layoffs
For over 20 years, feds had access to most major internet access points at telecoms/isps. Most traffic was trivial for them to collect.

Good.
Yes! I had the shower thought this morning that gathering to go out to the movies with friends is nearly a thing of the past now, and one of the reasons is we have giant TV's in Walmart that take up your living room wall for $500.

I have an 80" tv myself and I can attest that it is LESS satisfying. I can see so many details in the film now that almost every movie looks low budget. No one wants to "come over for movie night" ..they have their own 60+ TV at home. It's easier than ever to watch a movie, but boring as heck for sure.

Just an anecdotal part of my life that is as you suggested - more convenient but less satisfying.
But it is also set and forget kind of thing.
I like the idea. I think separating out creative writing from fact retrieval makes a lot of sense and the attempt at a single general AI that can do both is clearly not there yet.

It's slow as hell, though. Maybe a more limited invite-only beta would have been a good idea if your infra isn't there yet, compared to an announcement on Hacker News. It spun for 5 minutes doing nothing, then eventually gave me an inference engine down message. Retried and it spun for another 5 minutes doing nothing. Tried a third time, and at some point while I was back here reading the comments again, it loaded an answer finally. Tried a fourth time and got the inference engine down again.

> how do i mix two colors (hexadecimal rgb string) in js

> ANSWER

> To mix two colors in JavaScript, you can use the color-mix property. This property takes three parameters: the colorspace, the color to be mixed, and the percentage of that color to mix. For example, to mix the colors #FFFFFF and #8FBC8, you would use the following code:

> let newColor = document.createElement;

> // Outputs: #8FBC8

This is all just wrong from beginning to end. It seems to be confusing JS and CSS, too.
The inference seems to be taking very long and it gets stuck at times forever (> a few minutes). My guess is that this is happening due to the load? How fast is this when it's not under load? Is it as fast as ChatGPT?
Ask HN: What are good tips for personal project hygiene?
I start a lot of seemingly one-off projects that I forget about, and then months later either want to reuse or share with friends. Unfortunately, it ends up being a hassle because I don't remember all the hacks I used to get things off the ground so I have to reread things to figure out what commands to run in what order etc.

I've learned some good tips from my work experience, but I've never really done 0 to 1 in a work setting without there being some previous infrastructure for me to work off of.

Some of things I'm thinking of

- dockerize

- all env vars go in a .env file

- avoid absolute paths

- DDL should be in re-runnable migration files

Are there any other easy wins that people could recommend?
It's worse than that. It presumably costs more to operate a building than to mothball it and at least try to sublease it. If there's really no value in filling the building up with people, it's a bit like deciding to drive your car around aimlessly because "I own it so I should use it."

> There's a certain ugliness that graphical-tile-based skins of over roguelikes and other TUI-iconography games have

Yes. Your snow example is a good one.

My problem with reworked TUIs is that the graphics emphasize one element of the game and tend to ignore the others. Dwarf Fortress actually supports diagonal paths. With the graphics pack they look like a series of unconnected open rectangles even though a dwarf can walk down them without problems. With a "better" tileset you can see actual diagonal walls. (This screenshot doesn't have a diagonal 1-wide passage, but does have diagonal walls at the edge of rooms. https://i.imgur.com/tryTOUA.png)

The graphics are made to attract people to the game not to best represent the fiddly details of the mechanics. I prefer the text because while it's not a perfect representation either at least it isn't actively wrong.

> consume said "snowiness map" as a shader pass over their textures.

Yeah, to get good looking snow you'd have to do something like this - without the discrete blockiness. In the case of snow this would be easy because DF doesn't have actual game mechanics connected to snow depth or anything it so it would just be a graphics tweak.

> have the lava be a flowing mass of liquid rather than a bunch of particular static grid tiles.

In the case of lava and other liquids though, the simulation itself is tile based. If you made the surface continuous it would make it harder to tell what was going to happen.

> serve the part of the existing player-base who prefers the TUI version of the game; rather than focusing solely on the part of the player-base who doesn't like TUIs but plays the game despite that

I think DF is mostly the second category. Not hardcode roguelike fans but fans of the DF simulation which happens to be tile based.

> and the untapped market of people who aren't playing the game because of how ugly and gridlike it is.

I wonder how big this market is, for DF. If you want a game that looks good why go for graphical DF when you can go straight to Horizon or other graphics-first game. If you aren't interested enough in the mechanic to interact with it, will some 90s-era graphical skins make the difference?

> "The grid" just becomes a UX feature, an extra lens and maybe an always-on fade around the player and/or the cursor, rather than something evident in the design of the levels.

It would be interesting to maybe anchor building items into an easily understood and simulated grid, but where the grid was arbitrary in relation to the map and other grid-based elements. So you could point your fort in any arbitrary direction in relation to the terrain but the walls would still function properly.

DF is a tunnel digging and wall building game where they have to contain fluids or block enemies and it wouldn't be fun debugging tunnels that almost met or had flow-blocking extrusions.

A lot of pros use Terminal.app. As far as I know, that's not open source.
It's not guaranteed that it's a sunk cost fallacy.

I'm going to make up some dumb numbers: suppose people are 5% more productive in the office, but the office has an amortized cost of 10% total compensation. You shouldn't open an office. But say you've purchased an office outright, and maintenance is now only 2% of the cost of total compensation (8% of cost was paid up front). In that case, you would want people in the office.

In the real world, this is more complicated, because you also add in employee preferences as a reason for or against an office, you can't neatly measure productivity, you probably didn't buy the office in cash, you leased it, or borrowed money to buy it...).

how many ducks can fit into a cargo van

> Answer

> It is impossible to answer this question as there is no way to determine how many ducks can fit into a cargo van. The dimensions of the back doors on U-Haul cargo vans are 5’1-1/2′′ x 4’1-1/2′′ , and you have 9’6′′ x 5’7′′ x 4’7′′ in the cargo area totally 245 cubic feet of space for your household goods. This means that it would be difficult to fit more than 6,000 ducks at a time, while large farms usually have around 50,000 and 100,000 ducks reared simultaneously. The middle ground is 10,000 to 50,000 per batch.

If we could add Monads to C to stop having to do that, we would. This would require so much revamping of the type system that it wouldn’t be C anymore, in a non-compatible way.

I’ve been writing C for at least 25 years, I am extremely comfortable with it and know most of its nooks and crannies, and I do it daily as my job. God I wish it had Monads just enough to stop cluttering my code with error checking boilerplate.

Not necessarily. DF could easily show you what the ore you found is for, what workshop a work order requires, warn you to create a pen before a meeting area so your cattle doesn't stand in your tavern until they starve, etc.

This is not necessarily about the richness of the game, it's about how you present information, and not merely accepting that a player will have to have an external wiki open or memorized and dwarf therapist running at all times to play the game.
At this point, I explicitly call my "second draft" a "word removal pass". That's most of what happens. If I were ever to write fiction, I'd also write myself a text editor customized to some of my own bad habits, like, it would syntax-highlight all adverbs. I use them a lot in first draft writing but most of them should be removed.

As a sibling to your comment says, I have often unashamedly included an "executive summary". They seem to appreciate it. I also rather frequently pull them off the email chain when I'm diving into technical details, unless they explicitly ask to stay up-to-date on the entire chain. Then, if I want to re-update them, I'll add them back in, so they get the whole chain in one shot if they really want to dig and I'm not "hiding" anything, but they still get their summary.

Upshot, don't be scared to put "executive summaries" in. It's not sarcasm and it's not a joke.

I've seen those posts on HN.

Something the in-person crowd might want to consider is that a lot of interesting roles are going to involve lots of work with people who aren't in the room with you no matter whether you're in office or WFH. If you go in being highly vocal about no remote work, you may not be considered for roles that aren't fully remote but do involve a lot of videoconferencing.

And maybe that's OK with you, but do think about it.
I understand we all have different cultural norms, but I have never felt that my privacy was infringed on by the potential that a stranger may see my shoes while taking a crap.
