TUIs are a really great way to mix GUIs into CLI "suites." For example, one may usually use homebrew through a CLI, but one can imagine that certain workflows with homebrew might be better served through a TUI than a CLI. Perhaps browsing and filtering the list of packages -- though the specific workflow isn't important for this example. In that case, homebrew can ship a CLI that handes most or all workflows, plus one or more TUI workflows to enhance some subset of those workflows. Because you're already interacting with it in a terminal, it's a pretty smooth transition to give you the rich TUI experience when appropriate. The same could not be said of a native application.

That's not a terrible approach for some things. If I get a call from my bank telling me to login to my-bank.us or something to deal with a pressing issue, it may well be a phishing attempt, and it's generally a safer approach to google my bank and get to the login page that way instead of using the domain a caller tells you to.
The problem with a jazz app, as I see it, it that its boundaries are too fluid.

I feel like I can definitively tell you whether a given track is classical or not.

But there's a lot of jazz I could include within classical, but also jazz I could include within hip-hop, jazz that I'd consider also just pop... that's the remarkable property about jazz, that it can fuse with anything. So I don't know how you'd draw a boundary around what tracks would and would not be included.

Not to mention that the two main reasons a dedicated classical app exists is to be able to organize by composer and by multi-movement work (e.g. symphony). While jazz generally fits well into the standard organization by artist and track.

Well, it was difficult as dialup was obviously a fading technology. As that faded, they were no longer able to control the entrypoint onto the network and steadily lost significance.
There would be less of a housing crisis if we had regular immigration controls -like most other countries in the world. Currently pretty much anyone can cross with little problem --the problems express themselves later on --millions of added demand for housing units: these units don't get built overnight and nor do many unskilled workers with poor education or communications skills have the buying power to propel further construction (it's unprofitable).

When the USSR or Warsaw pact countries imported temporary unskilled labor they build housing blocks for those folks --they had a plan.

Mine is temporal at gmail. "Temporal" was my teenage gamer tag which I mostly stopped using decades ago, but it's been my gmail address for almost 20 years and changing it is not easy.

The problem is, "temporal" happens to mean "temporary" in Spanish. As soon as Gmail became popular in the Spanish-speaking world, people started using it as a placeholder address.

* Lots of people use it when creating throw-away accounts.

* Sometimes companies use it as a placeholder when they don't know a customer's address. Multiple telecom companies in various countries have done this to me, sometimes populating hundreds of customers' accounts with my email address, such that I receive all of their phone bills, sometimes even with detailed call logs.

* All kinds of students register for university classes using my address resulting in me getting tons of emails from professors. In many cases I could go drop their classes for them if I were evil enough.

* Once a Colombian school gave my address admin access on their school-wide Zoom organization. The really annoying part about this is that Zoom didn't give me any way in the UI to leave the organization, so my account was attached to this school until I complained on Twitter and someone silently fixed it.

* For the last couple months, someone has been scraping Shopify-backed web shops, entering my email address when prompted, putting things in their cart, and then abandoning it, such that I receive an email saying "Hey you left this thing in your cart! Do you still want to buy it?" The emails are always in Spanish, of course. I receive them from like 50 different web sites every day. (Luckily I was able to create a filter for certain Spanish words...)

None of this stuff gets filtered as spam because it does not look like spam to gmail's filters. I have learned it's more productive to block addresses than to mark spam, but this annoyingly takes four clicks per email. I have begged Google to give me a way to filter by language but of course no one is listening.

WIRED even wrote an article about it: https://www.wired.com/story/misplaced-emails-took-over-inbox...

I know, I know, I need to change my email address and probably get off Gmail altogether. It's difficult because I have 20 years of history built around this address.

ls does not have a consistent interface beyond the basics. And honestly, for the "portable subset", you may not even realise that ls is aliased to exa or lsd or whatever. This is why on why of my systems I'm sitting at right now, (MacOS) ls --help reports "unrecognized option `--help`" and on the other (GNU) ls reports a list of options so long that the entire alphabet is accounted for in both lower and upper case.

IMO, you're not missing much if anything. It's definitely a cool project and I've spent some time tinkering with it, but feels a lot more like an art project trying to evoke a certain aesthetic rather than something that actually makes writing terminal-based programs easier.
Monopoly law isn't about being the biggest provider.

Monopoly law is about leveraging your position as a big provider against competition.

Microsoft had as much market share in consumer OS. They didn't get in trouble for that. They got in trouble for killing Netscape by bundling IE and forcing Windows on all devices by charging per device sold regardless of whether Windows was installed or not.

Government intervention to ensure competition rarely happens so maybe a new term to describe that would be good.

> It's true but it's really hard to find non smart devices though.

What if you could make the device not so smart if you want? Physical kill switches are ideal here, but if such lack then a software switch to turn radio off or on helps.

I use an e-reader without cloud. I use USB-C to get my e-books on it. I keep WLAN off. If I want it on, I need to enable hotspot on my smartphone in order for it to connect to the internet. And yet for some reason it has a microphone.

I have some CM4 without BT and WLAN because I don't need the feature. But I do use ethernet on it (via its host).

I also have an Analogue Pocket. It has a microSD with all kind of games on it (I already gave away my physical cardridges long ago, and I am not going to run around with such or have such in storage). For connectivity it only sports USB-C. But that device is a FPGA for running older games.

I think the point is that if you want to use less smart / connected devices (with less profiling, advertising, connectivity) you need to be prepared to shell out money for dedicated hardware and sacrifice some convenience.

Yup. I switched to ESPs for projects and won't go back to Arduino. I had to fix someone else's Arduino based art installation a couple weeks ago and it seemed weird and very retro going back to work with that Arduino form factor.

That said, maybe they have a future being a standard component in industrial settings. I would tend to trust an Arduino more than an ESP in critical infrastructure.
I’m sorry you’re so angry about this, but direct personal attacks are in a different category from commentary on an article. It’s generally not considered “uncivil” to question the premise of a headline. Calling another commenter “brain dead”, however, is not acceptable here.
The original idea behind this is sound. Because production and consumption must net to ~0, from the grid's perspective cutting load is just as valuable as providing generative capacity.

Imagine you own a factory that typically runs 24/7 and is part of the system's base load. There is a material cost for you to shut down production. These structures were set up to make it economically viable to have these types of installations shut down in extreme events and function as "virtual power plants" (remember, lowering base load is physically and economically equivalent to providing additional generation.)

So far, this kind of makes sense. But unfortunately the same framework can also be applied to cryptocurrency operations, where it really does not make intuitive sense. Largely, IMO, because Bitcoin is so piggish for energy for so little societal value to start with.
Very true - that's why some places are much easier to do business in. The USA is very good for this
I'm curious: how senior you have to be at a company to attend a demo like this? Probably it was shown for the AAA industry right, like EA, Ubisoft, Epic etc.? Do they invite competitors as well? Microsoft has games on the Switch. So obviously there is an NDA but is it the C-suite or the senior engineers who can have a look?

Good god. Imagine if your life's ambition is to find a job that makes you excited to work. A slave who wants to be excited about his enslavement. A slave owner's dream.

True dystopia isn't some brutal authoritarian whipping the slave into submission. True dystopia is one that teaches a slave to want to be the best slave he can be.
>“His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbours sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counselled one and all, and everyone said “Amen.”

This critique of mine is abstract, and maybe even wrong. I feel like this is a way of disguising the reality of power, and how at least in western society, power is really focused on conformity.

The average workplace rehashes the same dramatics as the average sixth grade class cohort. Which makes sense if you consider that education is mostly about learning how to conform, and follow the instructions given to you. Even with servant leadership.

There's very little taught about building solidarity, or altruism, or good-faith debate in a system aimed at producing a national work force instead of global citizens.

What does leadership mean when you are serving a system that relies on making people conform?
But in this case, wasn't the basic parking meter infrastructure already in place when the deal happened? It wasn't like the company had to invest millions of dollars and many years of development just to begin collecting revenue. I'm sure they probably did invest a lot in getting operations up and running internally, but as for the physical meters wasn't this more of a turnkey type of deal?

I'm probably a bit more positive to TUI type applications than you (and don't care about theme matching, docks, or notifications), given e.g. my editor runs purely in a terminal (and I'm writing a new terminal...) but I think we sort-of agree when you say it's just a thinly disguised GUI.

While I think it's impressive how good they've made it look, for me the point of a TUI is for it to be simple and pared down. It's nice if it looks good, but I want something keyboard driven and command focused rather than UI element focused. I'm not sure who the target group is here. Are there enough people who love to work in a terminal but still want their apps to look like GUI apps?

EDIT: From elsewhere on the site, it seems like they're trying to target people who would like to write GUIs, but find writing GUIs too hard, and that the TUI part is just a starting point. I'm ambivalent of the chances for that to succeed, but who knows.

The UK uses FPTP and has at least three major parties in Parliament (Lab, Con, SNP) and in the past Lib Dems were big enough to enter into coalition. There are also smaller parties in the Parliament too, like the Greens and sometimes independent candidates.

The reason the US only has two parties is because those parties are sufficiently loose and internally democratic enough that there's no need to start a third party, when you can come in as an outsider and take over one of the existing ones. Parties in the UK exercise much tighter control over who can lead them, and so there's more pressure to set up alternatives. If the US big tent parties worked the same way you'd have more than two parties as well.

This is a one-weird-trick that management tries to use on underlings: they talk about motivating a sense of ownership to things. But this doesn't jive with the fact that employees are hirelings and thus have no ownership to anything in the company. But it would be convenient for management to push more of the responsibilities of ownership on the underlings, even though they will get none of the benefits.

This of course assumes that the employee has no stocks in the company... but it would have to be more than just a symbolic amount in order to count.
Microsoft also explicitly wanted to kill Netscape when it did that. (Other anti bundling lawsuits have won without that situation so I don't know if that is necessary but it certainly hurt their case)
I don't doubt that they'll try, but I don't think they have the market position to pull that off anymore, not with ESP32 et al. ascendant. Or maybe I'm just out of touch with that side of the market, hard to tell.

I find it very ironic (in a funny way) how the comments for funding rounds always have a sense of disappointment on Hacker News. We are all reluctantly expecting the worst when private equity and venture capital get involved despite being under the roof of a VC, in essence.

I am surprised like another commenter that Arduino has to raise money, on the other hand. I wish it was a bit clearer on how this money ties into their strategy, are they planning to fund R&D, marketing, or manufacturing. What will Arduino look like in two years, and which stick are we getting enshittified?

Currently the speed of light is constant by definition of the meter. If we were to find certain cases where the speed of light appears to be different from c, that would be interpreted as compression or expansion of spacetime. For example, universal expansion can be reinterpreted as light being faster in the past.

I'm wondering whether it could be reinterpreted as time having a variable rate.

That is what I thought. IF a power plant went offline, wouldn't they know it? Aren't they measuring all of their production, so they could pinpoint what plant dropped?
I had another thought, more unformed, and mostly only relevant once 'popularity strikes'. Maybe not relevant at all. Suppose a maintainer gets a real liking for a particular project, develops a passion and invests a load of time. They can be rug-pulled at any time when the project owner - on a whim - decides help is no longer needed. The project owners freedom is assured. They can do anything, like take the project commercial and go proprietary from then on. This might cause big "drama" esp. when a maintainer also built community. It might not reflect badly on Code Shelter, but may be something to think about these situations.

That's not correlated with reality at all.

From the start the spin was and always has been that Afghanistan was a safe haven for violent international terrorist organizations which were behind a string of terrorist attacks worldwide, and these organizations would be stopped by eliminating their safe havens and the regime that supported or enabled them to operate from their territory.

If you create a public event on public property, you acknowledge that anyone can attend and exercise their rights adjacent to your event. Your only path of recourse for stopping a heckler is using the police, who cannot act on lawful public expression like heckling. Otherwise, today in the United States, you are out of luck.

Any public venue where you have the right to speak to the public, you will be attended by people with the right to speak louder than you. That is part of the problem of using public property as a venue for a controversial speech. You have no right protecting you from interruption, ignorance or legal protest.

If you are not hosting a public event, and it is on private property, then the host reserves the right to demand a guest to leave. In public, the ideals of heckling are directly consistent with protected, legal speech.
My thought too and a perfect example of the Cobra effect :)
