Author of the code in question here ...

Not sure how this got off terminals and on to compilers, but here we are.

Having written the profiler I used to optimize this (Sysprof), and a large portion of the OpenGL renderer that GTK uses, I know a thing or two about what code runs in the hot path from VTE. So I could target something that does enough of that to see what should be possible as a best case / upper bound.

That's why I'm fairly confident that adding the rest of the features that VTE has (which is one of the most comprehensive terminal emulator code bases out there) wouldn't affect this particular test case.

That said, I have no interest in doing that. I'd rather just go make VTE fast at drawing and call it a day. I have literally dozens of other projects in GNOME that require my time.
Many people would argue that it's ethical to break an unjust law, and in fact that's the only way any real societal progress has been made. From drug decriminalization (including alcohol), to minority rights, to the very founding of many countries. Still other people seem to hold a conflicting stance where they rightfully idolize historic lawbreakers like George Washington or Rosa Parks, but any breaking of current laws is "always a bad thing".

That said, in many countries it is only illegal for residents of that country to facilitate foreign money services for others, it's not strictly illegal for them to take advantage of money services that do exist. In those cases, a borderless app doesn't actually break the law.

Basically, I can't agree with you that it's "not a good thing" that Argentinians are able to hold 10 dollar balances on their phone so that they can afford groceries next month. I think that's a good thing. People can afford groceries who weren't able to before.

By the way, I'm going to adjust that bar one more time. Good applications are ones where the added value "cannot be attained with less effort by other means", not where the added value "cannot be attained by other means".
If they were capable of doing actually productive tasks, they would get a job somewhere other than the TSA. It’s more a question of structure and routine than “dignity of work”, and the type of person who can have structure and routine in their life without a job has enough agency that they wouldn’t be working for the TSA either.

> Shouldn’t we be more worried about all the children of the rich who will never need to earn a living?

We should be worried about those people because they tend to die from drug abuse much more frequently than the general population. The same is true for washed up celebrities and lottery winners. In fact, this is something that rich people tend to worry about a lot in regard to their own children.
The audience of content creators like this is the ever-dwindling number of people buying expensive dedicated photographic gear. The vast majority of photography now is being done by people who aren't photo gear heads, because almost all of the gear is more than good enough.
I would argue that if someone is not motivated by money why should he be in "for profit venture" at all? why not create non-profit? or may be become a govt official or senator where you can influence policy decision that has the potential to create whole industry catering to your selected cause?

This is incredible story for me. I am not sure i can achieve same thing as he achieved. It is inspiring. Moreover his main business failed after twitters api policy changed so it is even more incredible that he was able to recover from that setback and managend to create a new business which is now surpassing his older biz. And he did it without taking any outside funding. In my eyes he is equal or greater than your so called great entreprenuers!
Then you have the whole family waiting for their turn to use the microwave. Easier to just heat up all the leftovers in one go.
In the “just point at something and press the shutter” scenario, phones have been just as good (and in some cases better) than dedicated cameras for a while.

For me, the main reasons for using a dedicated camera are ergonomics and creative control. I rarely hold the device at eye level when taking a photo, since it makes for more interesting compositions. Somehow my fingers are always in the wrong position when I want to press the shutter button. And once you try to adjust some settings manually in a dedicated app like Halide, it gets extra fumbly and (to me) just takes all the fun out of it.

The big benefit of the phone is that it’s always with me of course. I’m contemplating the purchase of a Ricoh GR, which is a great camera that is just as pocketable as a phone but with much better ergonomics.
It appears that people are taking my remark "as a part of the food preparation process" to mean "they cook with a microwave." Whereas I meant, "take a prepared sauce or ingredient out of the freezer and thaw with the microwave before continuing with the meal."

In much the same way that I take a stick of butter out of the fridge and nuke it for exactly 9 seconds to get it (at least the bottom) to spreadable consistency. In fact, this is 90% of what I use a microwave for.
It was weird to me that even the static images would be noticeably different scales (The Chocolate Factory and even the cropped BeatBuilder).
Everyone pretty much assumed the children of the rich will be spoiled and entitled drags on society. But unless you’re proposing to prevent parents from spending their own money on their children, rich children are irrelevant.
The TSA stats show that they found 6,542 firearms in carry-on luggage at US airports last year. [0] This seems to undermine the argument that they are ineffective, unless you think those weapons should have been been allowed on aircraft.

True, and even two hours maybe pushing it. The crash in PA on 9/11 was a direct result of passengers attacking the cockpit after they found out what happened to the other planes.
Classic example of the Lucas Critique.
That's because they're not really that hard. Compilers are essentially pure functions, encryption is as well. State is another beast entirely.

If I had to put on my innovator cap and do a relatively weakly informed guess, I'd say its because querying capabilities and reliable storage are still too conflated. If we focused on reliable storage that only has great replication support to other querying systems, the problem might get easier.
No. The dock is convenient because memory allows you to recall where to find an icon. If they're randomly ordered it breaks that convention. Who cares what "order" full-screen windows are?

Phone cameras have come a long way, and they a so convenient for quick snaps.

But "big" cameras still dominate in tricky situations. With my Sony mirrorless shooting in RAW mode for low light is basically cheating. I can shoot at 10,000 ISO without seeing grain.
This is a single exposure, for example - no stacking, no trickery

Again, I'm not thawing meat!!! I'm making it easier to remove from the packaging.
Rust has really great support for backward–compatibility.

A few breaking changes to the language have been made over the years (such as the introduction of async/await), resulting in several different editions of the language. The compiler supports all editions equally, and different crates can even be in different editions, even if they are linked into the same program. That means that code written for Rust 1.0 still works perfectly, and there is no need to update it to the latest edition in order to continue using it even in programs that are written in the latest edition.
The correct answer here is that the business layer in between Lou and his fans should be honest in what Lou intends to play.
Not all journeys are equally valuable. A goal is critical to point yourself in a worthwhile direction.
Do you believe there aren’t people who wish to use air travel for nefarious purposes?

Do you believe that none of those people are factoring in the presence of identity checks, x-rays, backscatters, bomb dogs, and metal detectors into their risk/reward calculation or the techniques by which they’d commit nefarious acts?
IKEA has cheap glass containers with plastic covers that can go into the microwave. I think you can also get covers made of bamboo or something that looks like wood.

I usually cover them with a plastic designed for this purpose which doesn't come in contact with food.
> it's a welfare program

This is a role usually filled by the armed forces. I suppose it’s good to have a few options.
That would be pretty interesting. Not quite as interesting as programming in Rust though :)
Nobody is saying ignore them, and your analogy doesn’t really work since you can still do them.

In fact, since you’re encouraged to take regular breaks on a long trip anyway the only edge cases not catered for is when you have multiple drivers and you MUST keep driving for some reason.
Nah, while it’s good for mental health, it’s not a productivity enhancer. It can be hard to focus on complicated concepts or even recall facts like people’s names.
Ah yes, I guessed it'd be a Chilobrachys.

As a matter of fact, the first tarantula I ever encountered, in the wild, was also a chilobrachys species.
I'm flummoxed by this view but at least empathetic when it comes to food and shelter. When it comes to Olivia Rodrigo tickets I'm legitimately confused.

If Rodrigo decided to abandon her career and only do private shows for Bill Gate's who's business would that be but hers? I think there's room for either disdain or pity for the person who cares about nothing other then money but who's going to make that judgement about another person's motivations? And who would jump in take action on that judgement?
May I humbly request an MVP list? I’m into this stuff but there are like 60+ papers here.
Yes, but the article is confusing targeted advertising (not really a vulnerability) with actual zero day vulnerabilities. They are not really related, but both can be part of a targeted campaign I guess.
> from “personal convenience” to “fly into an occupied skyscraper” to “move ten pounds of cocaine.”

The TSAs job shouldn’t be preventing drug trafficking. What’s next? They check everything with serial numbers to ensure no stolen goods are being carried?
Was there ever anything added to HTML that would make <script> tags defined inside a div or other container tag essentially lexically scoped to tags and elements only within that div?

One of the values of frames was that it did that. Most "portal" frameworks I've seen are nightmares of spaghetti code trying to route around this, and it prevents any true fragment-consumption without the iframe.

It also would allow likely a lot more "rich widgets" where a mess of javascript was contained only in the section of the HTML document needed by that widget, so a library/zoo/collection of widgets could be safely put together.
Even so, it is still killing a living being.
> What's frowned upon are these look-I-did-nothing-but-still-made-it-big stories.

Seven years of acquiring skills in different domains, and two years of applying those skills, learning more along the way, grinding, failing, trying again, and building several successful products people are willing to pay for is "doing nothing"? What a ridiculous take.

People get rich nowadays by manipulating virtual numbers on screens, based on speculation and pure luck, which is much closer to "doing nothing", and we enthusiastically celebrate their success, yet someone uses their skills to build and sell products to people that enjoy using them, and we label them as lucky, lazy and show-offs. #smh
The TSA fondled my testicles at LAX on a domestic flight last year, but we're all flying safer because of it.
FWIW, none of those people are whom I’d consider great entrepreneurs.
No, that's a separate species?

Edit: apparently not. It's surprising as Well as enraging
Programming languages are like plastics: there are 100s of 'em, each with their own characteristics, strenghts & weaknesses. Every single 1 of them has some niche in which they're better (or at least, preferred) over the others. Sometimes for historical reasons.

That said, like plastics I'm pretty sure we could get by with 10..20 (max) different ones. And those would be nicer to use if all development effort were spent on them vs. spread out over all the other ones.

But hey, who am I to tell someone to stop using / working on language x, y or z? Or which ones to pick as standard?
It seems that so many people my age mustered out of finding new music sometime in their college years. As they age they return to that music to, I imagine, remember that time in their life.

I asked a co-worker what he would listen to to remember this time of their life? Maybe I'm an idiot. Maybe no one wants to remember their 30's, their 40's, their 50's....

Anyway (off on a tangent) the point is that people go to Lou Reed concerts to remember when they were in college making a mix-tape including "A Perfect Day" for their boyfriend.

While I feel bad for the artist "artistically", plenty of artist are of course making bank by playing wineries to 50-somethings that now have deeper pockets and want their love shack, baby.
Yeah, sorry but if you are in an environment were you are actively monitoring your firewall and you didn't get that your machine was breached you have way other problems than vscode or an SSH process.
Gas costs have no relation to processing power. It wouldn't fluctuate wildly, otherwise.

Eth is now POS, a laptop in a corner can now "mine" eth.
> They may eat undercooked snails or inadvertently eat an infected slug or snail hiding in their unwashed salad.

Should we be worrying about salad? I always do my best to wash stuff like broccoli, etc but I always assume things "slip through".
It is frameworks vs libraries. An agent decides when to call your code, or possibly someone else’s code.
How many didn't they find?

Sensor size matters and it’s not included anywhere in the specs (red flag)

Along with all the other comments in this thread and based on the media outlet that published this, this is clearly a rigged comparison
I quite often find myself in situations where I'm wishing I had my Sony HX400V. Despite having a recent iPhone that can take stunning shots, it absolutely falls down when trying to take photos of dramatic landscapes or low light (try taking these[1] photos of the moon on an iPhone!).

I may have to just keep a normal camera charged and sitting in my car for when I'm out.

You are HN if you can explain what the y-combinator is on a whiteboard with ease.
Eh, I enjoy the maintenance a bit - but perhaps it's because I picture it slightly larger.

Not just updating packages and stuff, but tuning for performance/resilience or outright redesigning systems.

This could eventually be considered migration work, too I suppose - but I really appreciate 'roots' in what I work on.

The migration work I alluded to was 'take us from boring thing X to boring thing Y'.

I don't like lacking power by having prescribed solutions; it's less administrative - more grunt.

I don't think that's a fair characterization of the market. $300 point and shoots are indeed dead, but the prosumer photography market is as alive as ever, especially since the pandemic, during which every white collar worker seems to have decided to get a hobby of some kind.

Analog film photography, famously, had a huge resurgence the last 5 or so years, and is quite popular.

both are great.
“One does have to wonder why we need to medicate ourselves to cope with reality rather than change reality instead.”

A lot of our problems are due to self deception. One thing psychedelics are good for is being able to see through the lies we tell ourselves and face the facts about our behaviors.
Zero-trust networking still involves threat models and things which you are and aren't trying to defend against. The "airtight hatchway" concept is just that once you've declared that a certain type of attack isn't something you're trying to prevent, there's no point in reporting issues which rely on that attack because it's already known to be vulnerable. Defense in depth can be seen as adding multiple hatchways, but there's still always going to be something inside the innermost one.

If your threat model involves people trying to exfiltrate data from a developer machine with an internet connection in an innocent-looking way, this VSC feature is a problem. Most companies either don't make an attempt at preventing that, or would use an airgapped setup so it's not something worth caring about.
Not on my ipad it's not and I don't plan on updating the OS at the risk of making it slower just for webp support.
Unfortunately there is no support for ligatures. A good programming font like fira or source code pro makes for such a quality of life improvement. At least easier on the eyes.

It seems that many terminal emulators can’t or won’t support them, because they are hard to render properly.

Sticking to wezterm for now.

What good is that when the scalpers and not your fans are the ones to benefit? All you're doing is screwing your fans even more because now they have to risk getting ripped off by a scam since tickets are only available from shady third party jerks.

If demand is so high that people can't afford tickets and you want to do something for the fans, put the game in a bigger stadium.

This ties in to the very active front page discussion about the zero day being exploited in Egypt and answers some of the questions raised in the thread about who was behind it and who was being targeted.
I'm working on bringing GeoRust algorithms [0] (which include boolean operations) to the web via WebAssembly. See this blog post [1] for an intro. There's also separate work on binding GEOS to Wasm [2], but I'm more excited about GeoArrow in the long term because you can interpret Wasm geometries in JS without any copies across the boundary [3].

I mean, the pixel size and resolution of the iPhone 15 camera are public information, so a little bit of math will get you the dimensions of the sensor if that's of interest for some reason.
That's how croc works, too. You can run your own Magic Wormhole relay. These tools all have the same fundamental design.

What's magic-seeming about them is that you can be deep in a prod network, with tightly controlled ACLs and no routable address, and just "wormhole server.log", and then on your dev laptop on your random home wireless type, like, "wormhole receive 32-hazardous-baboon" and poof! you have "server.log". It feels pretty magical, which is why it has the name.

Croc doesn't change any of that. What croc does differently from Wormhole is that it handles resumption, and you can apparently send a globbed list of files rather than just a file or a directory. Resumption is a real feature (I'd like to know more about how the cryptography works, though). The multi-file thing is a UX tweak.

Croc has a bunch of knobs to change cryptography primitives. Those are anti-features.

You can password-authenticate a custom croc relay. I don't know why you'd ever care. Maybe this is an abuse concern? These are all E2EE designs. You don't trust the server in the first place. It's like a STUN/TURN server.
Few factors -

1. Design goals. The program had a budget, and with that budget their goal was a 14 day target. Anything extra is icing on the cake. They could have used an RTG to ensure long term survival, but it would have exploded their budget.

2. If I remember correctly the probe is in the south pole of the moon. Most probes are closer to the equator. The poles get colder and I think in some circumstances have more night time

3. Experience. This is their first successful moon probe. Now they understand the parameters better, so maybe next one will do better?

I don’t think the TSA does try to prevent drug trafficking, but I do suspect that you cannot (and should not be able to) just stuff a suitcase full of cocaine and walk it through the Precheck line.

At a certain point that’s a legitimate safety issue.
Seems to be the goal of most "cybersecurity" types.
Absolutely not. The gas fee is not moved up or down based on the cost to settle a transaction. It's an independent market based on supply and demand for blockspace. Supply is constrained because for the network to remain decentralized you need to be able to run a node inexpensively, demand is just a result of value added.
You’ve touched on my issue with it - it’s an American organisation in America. Yet the TSA bullshit is contagious annf other countries have subscribed. It also makes things like passing through the US painful.
Her "capitalism is good" video is remarkably bad. I noticed that takedowns of it were making the rounds in left-ish online spaces recently, and figured it would be one of her worse videos, but even with that bias I was shocked at how bad it is. Hardly any real-world history or economics, and zero engagement with actual critiques of capitalism. She name-drops Adam Smith and Karl Marx, but doesn't really quote or integrate the ideas of either. Overall, it's a disorganized mess of pro-capitalism cliches, hypothetical examples, and eliding discussion of key issues with phrases like "that's another story". I'd honestly expect better from PragerU, let alone someone whose tagline is "science without the gobbledygook".

> This guy knows how to market and ship product. I've seen him pop up a few times on indiehackers.com and social media. His "brand" is super simple to understand, which helps gain followers. He knows marketing.

I think it boils down to one thing. He built a tool specifically to market on Twitter, it worked well, it got traction because of how well it worked. His main trick was to show up every day and show what he was working on. Which works well for indie hackers on Twitter.

Alot of his marketing efforts is look at how well I'm doing, he's seen that this has worked and has repeated it repeatedly. Can't blame the guy. The only big story from him that wasn't a success story was him writing about how the twitter API pricing really cost him big time.
If you find VS Code lacking or inadequate to your needs, Rider usually completely closes the gap (and often tends to work better than VS).
The article seems to praise the iPhone a lot for some reason, but to my eyes all its images immediately pop out as worse, except for the case where high depth of field is desired.
Has anyone discussed the so-called "spatial video" (and presumably photos) yet, and how those might look or work? That's the most compelling upgrade to the iPhone to me. I'm generally satisfied with the quality of my photos now, but as someone with a 2yo and 2 week old, I'm eager to enter the "grainy 80s VHS home video" era of a new medium. Like, yeah, those old home movies were bad quality, but home video was a whole new thing and gives an insight into childhood that photos didn't. (And probably something similar for black and white to color photos, but that was before my time.)
