Occasionally, I have switched back to XTerm on my Linux systems and it’s always been fine. Good performance, good compatibility (everything runs correctly in XTerm), what else do you need?

- Tabs

- Clickable URLs

Otherwise, XTerm is solid. The source code is a bit of a nightmare.
He predicted it would launch 4/20 and it launched 4/20. So current factor is 1x.
Is anyone asking for that though?
tmux can handle the tabs.

Thanks.

> They are, in fact, its victims, as they will fall under the same below-replacement-fertility trap.

You say “trap”, as if a below-replacement birth rate is somehow bad. Do you actually think that that is the case?
11% by mass, 11% by volume, or 11% by value?
I think it’s more interesting to see how many unhappy stories began after listening to your engineers.
I was wondering why that window has a menubar at the top! I even went through the other screenshots to see if it appeared in other places--made me wonder if pull-down menus were actually also invented at PARC.
No, it really can’t.

Some people are happy with TMux but it introduces some compatibility problems (TMux itself contains a terminal emulator, and not everything works correctly in TMux), and half the point of tabs is being able to organize them how you please—if you want move a tab to a new window, you can do that.

Except no, at the time of the second crash, there had been over 20 reports of un-commanded nose down inputs by pilots. The two flights just didn't manage to diagnose the issue or turn off MCAS before it crashed the aircraft.

There was IIRC 8~16 hours of training that was intended to be mandated, but Boeing told airlines that training was not necessary. So many (not all) pilots never learned the deeper mechanisms of MCAS. This would reduce costs, and increase desirability of the aircraft.

But it gets even worse! The FAA approved Boeing's request to remove a description of MCAS from the aircraft manual! So no, most pilots wouldn't even be able to learn about it even if they wanted to!

There was 0 redundancy. The MCAS was directed by ONE SINGLE AoA (Angle of Attack) SENSOR! No backups!

Even worse! Boeing was aware of the problems as of 2016! They even knew MCAS violated Boeing's own design documents and rules for the max8!

And yet here you are blaming the pilots instead of the money grubbers at the top.
I'm currently on a laptop. Why does one increment of the mouse wheel scroll like four screenfuls on this web page? I'm not gonna use the scroll bar to read your shit; have a nice day.
I can't fathom the inner processes of these anti-capitalism folks.

Everything is a hustle against an energy gradient. We evolved into that. It's amazing that we're as relaxed as we are when you contrast our Disneyland bubble against all of nature around us. Take a gander at /r/natureismetal and tell me the way we capture energy from the world around us isn't a little less off-putting than the way lions and parasitic wasps do it.

Having the Gap and Balenciaga in your periphery is better than a Kalashnikov occupying that space.

If somebody wants to sell Marvel merch or OBEY, let them. Everyone is looking at optimization gradients and happiness gradients and solving it all in a distributed and fairly optimal way.

In the blink of an eye it'll all be over and earth's oceans will be boiled away by our sun.

Calm down about capitalism in this moment. There are far greater problems to be worried about, both in the here and now, and in the geologic timespans that predominate.

Capitalism has solved problems, and continues to solve problems, for which no other algorithm could even begin to approach. It makes the entire problem space fungible and lets actors participate frictionlessly. It's one of the best inventions of our species.

AI is going to make capitalism even more flexible than before. Now there won't be as many capital, labor, of expertise barriers to entry. More people can participate.

The true negative externalities of capitalism are taxed and regulated by all economies all over the world. The system is moderated for and by the people. If you have any argument against capitalism, it's likely at these touchpoints where you should focus your arguments and energies. (I'd offer that we're doing a good job and that we'd receive a passing grade, but I'll happily engage in debate.)

This person wouldn't have the means to convey these thoughts to your mind without the marvelous accomplishments of capitalism.

Take articles like this with a grain of salt. It's like cinema critique - pointing out the minutiae because the market has enough abundant wealth to make that a job.
I'd say this project is rather useful in that it made queries far much more intuitive, something SQL aimed for in 1970s but eventually fails: for simple ones like `SELECT type_1 FROM roles;` it is indeed intuitive, but for something a little bit complicated, that intuitiveness quickly fall apart:

```sql
SELECT DISTINCT type_1 FROM roles AS r1
WHERE NOT EXISTS(
SELECT * FROM roles AS r2
WHERE r2.type_1 = r1.type_1
AND r2.legendary = 'True'
);
```

This queries all "`TYPE_1`s that all characters in this type are not legendary", and it is near impossible for a newcomer who had never learnt about SQL before to figure out the query, yet typing the sentence in quotes in `Vizly` gives exactly what is needed. Sure it took 1 minute to execute (which is probably why some thought it is down), but formulating the above SQL statement took much longer, and I am not sure that statement even works (I haven't touched SQL for quite some time).

This isn't right. Banks have always needed to manage interest rate risk. They do this by owning a range of securities with different maturities. It is bad practice to hold too much long dated stuff (as a %).

Most banks have managed their book appropriately. They've taken some losses, but not so much they wiped themselves out (as First Republic have done, and SVB did too).

Bingo! Thanks for corroborating.
I never said change can come fast in terms of a human lifetime. I was pushing back against this idea, which seems to be widespread, that corporations and power structures are inherently bad. The alternative viewpoint which seems more reasonable to me is that the problems we see are caused by the wrong kind of corporations and power structures. GP implied that I am naive for having this viewpoint. It's not actually clear to me which of my statements they disagree with, but I think it's another example of this phenomenon where anyone who expresses optimism or a problem solving mindset gets cynically shot down.
xterm is very good. It's only now that I've moved to Linux on the desktop that I found better with wezterm (for tabs mostly) and foot (for a quick quaketerm).

wezterm is now becoming my favorite: it's not just very fast and responsive, but it supports sixels and has many little "details" I need like ligatures, telling you when a font doesn't support some unicode character, font fallbacks to maximize unicode coverage, and a very active community that can help you with whatever may not be clear from reading the documentation alone (I'm lua-challenged lol)

As for tabs in xterm, and a few other nice defaults I recommend the config I made during my last foray with Linux on the desktop: https://github.com/csdvrx/cutexterm

"A collection of pure POSIX sh alternatives to external processes."

"Ternary Tests"

Can anyone point to where in the POSIX standard ternary test are described. (NB. Pure POSIX sh is less featureful than Bash.) What am I missing.

https://web.archive.org/web/20201219013931/https://pubs.open...

Also these operators from C that the author includes. Is he suggesting these are available in POSIX sh.

Quoting from the Pure Sh Bible:

+= Plus-Equal (Increment a variable.)
-= Minus-Equal (Decrement a variable.)
*= Times-Equal (Multiply a variable.)
/= Slash-Equal (Divide a variable.)
%= Mod-Equal (Remainder of dividing a variable.)

<< Bitwise Left Shift
<<= Left-Shift-Equal
>> Bitwise Right Shift
>>= Right-Shift-Equal
& Bitwise AND
&= Bitwise AND-Equal
| Bitwise OR
|= Bitwise OR-Equal
~ Bitwise NOT
^ Bitwise XOR
^= Bitwise XOR-Equal

One could probably learn from reading the POSIX standard, the Almquist shell source code and then experimenting. I also like reading other peoples' shell scripts, if they are good. Always something new to learn. Unfortunately this "Bible" did not teach me anything new.

And my response to that is: Laws and decrees have to be written in what manner they can oppress the least, but its on the public to hold the right people accountable so these laws remain fair.
If you say that was your intent, I believe you, but we have to go by effects (i.e. how the thread will likely react), not by the intent of the poster, which is not something anyone other than you can know. I can tell you for sure that statistically speaking, the outcome of a post such as that is overwhelemingly ideological flamewar. The fact that it didn't happen in this case is an accident.

I also like being able to copy-paste things out of terminals, and Tmux makes it a bit difficult. I know how to use the scrollback in Tmux but it’s just so much easier to use the scrollback in a GUI terminal editor.
The trend in Australia at the moment is to build on detached homes on 700 square metres, with just enough lawn to make a small electric lawn mower or gardening service necessary, but none of the benefits.

See for example 26 Parkfield Drive, Youngtown Tasmania on your real estate platform of choice (Google search will do) to see what I mean.

IMO, HN and Twitter are not comparable. You can't follow people.

Whereas for example, if someone isn't a major figure or org, but is somewhere in-between, what's to stop someone buying followers or rebranding an existing account and spouting nonsense? You might not value authenticity, but the average consumer placed a lot of importance in it.

Have people learned nothing with deepfakes? A picture isn't proof.

From the description in the Wikipedia article, we’ve already reached the point where it’s quite interesting. An nVidia card and an iPhone are pretty clearly not intelligent (although the iPhone tries a bit harder).

But these same devices, running the right software and given the right parameters, do something that seems impressively close to intelligence. And I suspect that my brain, with its software somehow removed, would not seem very intelligent.

On the other hand, a human baby will spontaneously generate language and intelligence, and I haven’t heard of a language model doing that. (The experiment has, sadly, been done. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaraguan_Sign_Language )
I love the evolution of the document icon! You can see what the designer(s) thought and the different reasons why each one might have been rejected and replaced in turn. I've put together a few "evolution" graphics like this for clients to show how we've iterated to create logos. I would love to see the designers' processes for other ubiquitous things like this.
I took part in a non-profit with monthly meetings that were supposed to be governed by Robert's Rules, or at least some formal parliamentary procedures. We were all 100% ignorant of those rules and so the meetings were chaotic free-for-alls. I myself, having never been a party to regular work meetings or any well-run organization that went "by the book", I was dismayed at how inefficient and disorganized we were.

In community college I ran into a fellow (who coincidentally happened to be a member of that aforementiond org) and was also a hard-core Parliamentarian, i.e. he was a club member and attended their regular meetings on PP itself. He stressed how important it was for me to learn PP, and that if I didn't, "others will take advantage of you." And that's correct, because if meetings are to be run by PP, then the ones who know the rules will dominate; never mind the majority's wishes.
People are insane about lawns in Florida.

Sandy soil that's so nutrient-deficient that you can't grow anything without chemical fertilizer.

And then the damn St. Augustine that everyone obsesses about (a) still needs watering during the summer if it rains too little & (b) gets aggressively eaten by fungus if it rains too much.

It's seemingly not uncommon for people to resod their lawn every few years. And they replant the same grass type that just died!
I think that it may be primarily in American media (or perhaps English-language media?) Other monarchies certainly get their news moments in English-language media and presumably are more discussed in other subsets of the media.

I haven’t read the reviewed book. However, it seems close enough to on topic to recommend Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph by Jan Swafford, which is one of the best biographies I have ever read. Beethoven’s story is hardly believable - from his early exposure to the Bavarian Illuminati, through his years of piano showdowns, through his triumphant 9th symphony when he was nearly deaf. If you are looking for book to dig into, I strongly recommend it.

HN actually has a guideline to address just that: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

We can't exclude divisive topics altogether—that would not be consistent with the mandate of this site (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... for lots of past explanation about why). So we ask users on all sides of divisive topics to respect the site guidelines, and each other, by posting thoughtfully and not collapsing into flamewar.

Everyone with strong passions feels like the other side is posting inflammatory trash and they themselves are merely providing pushback. This feeling is part of the standard equipment that everyone brings to a flamewar, so you can't let yourself be guided by it.

What you need to do instead (<-- I don't mean "you" personally, I mean all of us) is hold yourself to a higher standard and not break the rules even if other people are breaking them badly. If you make a good faith effort to do that, then you can just about compensate for the default bias of feeling like "the other side started it and behaved much worse" and approximately level the field.
Higher levels of background radiation in Denver turns people into supervillains. (And the rampant NIMBYism makes them poorer.)
It depends. If you buy fresh fruits and vegetables and meat, eggs, milk from a local farm and use only glass/copper/stainless steel for all your cooking and drinking needs you can do pretty well at an individual level.

This exactly. On paragraph four, the first sentence is this:

> In order to fully understand the complexities of the scope of British Monarchy Swan Privileges, we need to go back to the Middle Ages, when swans were a luxury good. Valued as both . . .

I stopped reading there. I'm thinking: No, we absolutely don't need to go that far back to answer this question of who owns swans. For goodness sake, will it kill authors and video makers to tell us the answer in short-form and then help the reader decide to continue going down a long-winded explanation if they desire? This gives the same vibe as the overly-long YouTube videos that squeeze 10 minutes out of questions that can be answered in 30 seconds.

Similar situation for me. The garden and natural areas of my yard take a lot of work to maintain. Much more than my lawn.

Invasive species can be a nightmare on their own but even the native ones can become impenetrable if you let it go too long.

Even if you have nice forest around your house you’ll pay for it with wood rot, termites, moss and mildew, and gutter cleanings. I loved living with trees over the house but ultimately decided I’d rather live with a bit more clearing.
In my experience there are effectively no HOAs that don't legislate lawns (and usually landscaping with them).

They may not be the reason, but HOAs are absolutely the cause of outdated, environmentally unsustainable, bullshit lawn requirements.
That is not what I'm saying at all.

I'm saying people are a mix of good and bad, and there are various levels of power and wealth inherent to the world, and that causes an inherent tension and level of corruption which you see manifest itself in all power structures around us.

Including corporations.

If you have a CONCRETE proposal for some kind of corporation which somehow counteracts the negative influences of humanity, while promoting the positive ones, while also actually working in real life, then please do propose it.

I'm also noting that those are already influences on the current formation and existence of the structures around us, so assuming that this is a new idea isn't helping anyone.

I'm not hearing anything concrete here though. I am hearing that you don't seem to be aware of the active and ongoing work to stop corruption and produce better outcomes in the governments and corporations that currently exist.

Attempts which sometimes succeed, sometimes get frustrated, etc. It's an active war, always has been, and IMO always will be.
