And yet this makes little to no sense on its own merit. Humans are not animals that are hatched from an egg ready to live as a rugged individual in the wilds. You are a social creature that learns everything you know by stealing bits of information from the world around you (or were you born with a sack of gold and you paid your parents to raise you?).

You look and act and sound like thousands of others out there. You bleed information into the wider world around you, and now you seek to restrict others access to it.

Most older terminal emulators tends to do fairly well. E.g. on Linux, rxvt tends to be one of the fastest. Many older terminals tends to do well not least because many older terminals implements jump-scrolling properly (scroll multiple lines at a time before updating the screen if the rendering doesn't keep up) because there are even escape codes to turn that on/off.

There's a weird "bathtub curve" when it comes to terminal speed where the oldest tends to be well optimised in terms of tricks to minimise rendering, the newest all tend to concern themselves very much with rendering smart, but often miss the old-school tricks, and quite a few of the ones in the middle are just really naive about everything.
I worked with Ian Murdock at Purdue in the days of the very first release. He was a sysadmin and devloper while I was a web designer for the libraries.

The guy truly believed in the GNU/Linux 'way' and 'free as in speech' software. His initial drive was from the difficulty of packaging and package management and that is probably his biggest contribution. Network-of-Workstations (NOW... think peer-to-peer infratsructure) was his passion that he really never quite got going.

Bruce Perens, the guy he handed control over to, is the authoritarian leader being refered to. I like the guy. He's definitely in the old guard, aka Linus Torvalds, style of management. In big complex projects with volunteers that syle works.

Anyways, the old days of Linux and Debian were a blast. I never quite go tinto like all these other people, but I miss those old days.

There's way too much money people involved today. So it goes.

Ian's manifesto explains it all, anyways.

In my vacation house (where I went to live for one full winter season), I turned the fireplace into an enclosed (still wood-fueled) fireplace: there's a fan (if I want to) but it's not blowing smoke, it's blowing warmth from the warmed up "firebox" (whatever that is called) inside the house.

It's day and night compared to that same house back when it had a regular open fireplace: smoke would drift inside the house, no matter how cautious I'd be. And the efficiency was terribly bad.

Now I still get to enjoy the view and once the fire is well started and the smoke correctly goes through the chimney, I can even open the enclosed fireplace's for a while and hear the crackling / get the full ambiance.

Lovely. I hope to go there in december. Falling asleep in front of the fireplace is one of my greatest joy in life.

It did cost about 5 K EUR IIRC (to transform the open fireplace into an enclosed one) but then warming the house with wood is super cheap (an enclosed fireplace is much more energy efficient than an open fireplace).

FWIW I warmed the house during the entire summer with five "stères de bois" [1] (an old french unit that isn't used for anything anymore beside wood logs meant to be used as fuel), paid 60 EUR each. So 300 EUR to warm the house (south east of France, mild winter).

BTW: house in the middle of nowhere, hardly any neighbors. So they don't get my smoke and I don't get their.

> The force that held the halves of the sphere together was the weight of the displaced atmosphere.

More precisely: the force applied by the weight of the column of air above the semi-spheres.

Weight of the column of air -> air pressure -> force on semi-spheres.

As parent noted, high up in the atmosphere that is a small force. At sea level, ~1 kg/cm^2.

So: yes, it's gravity.
Erlang (BEAM) has schedulers that execute the outstanding tasks (reductions) on the bezillion user-space (green thread) processes.

For most of Erlang's history, there was a single scheduler per node, so one thread on a physical machine to run all the processes. There is a fixed number of reductions for each (green thread) process, then a context switch to a different process. Repeat.

A few years ago (2008), the schedulers were parallelized, so that multiple schedulers could cooperate on multi-core machines. The number of schedulers and (hw/thread) cores are independent - you can choose any number of real threads to run the schedulers on any physical machine. But, by default, and in practice, the number of schedulers is configured to be one thread-per-core, where core means hardware supported thread (e.g. often Intel chips have 2 hardware threads for each physical core).

So yes, almost always and almost everywhere, there really is one OS thread per hardware supported thread (usually 1x or 2x physical CPU cores) to run the schedulers.

Much as I love the service homebrew provides, terraform is one of the edge cases that is better being managed outside of brew. I believe tf-switch is now the most popular option?

The problem with Terraform is that you often need a pinned version because accidentally updating your state file can be dangerous. (Though in fairness, updating Terraform is significantly less troublesome than it was in the pre-1.0 days)

You should stop posting, honestly. Either you tried to gather interest for your project by posting in a Patreon thread, or you've realized how little you actually know and you are backtracking.

Best to cut your losses, revisit what you are working on, make sure you have a clear path and you've verified it's what customers want, and build something you can show before talking about it.

I still don't get why Sam always lies and tells people his first name is Mark
This has barely anything to do with the name, the actual question is how many people would lie about their name in that situation. If nobody lied about their name, then you would know with certainty what that person's name is, if everybody lied about their name, then you would still have no idea, except that it probably is not Mark Xu. Note that this probability is highly context dependent, the chances that your new coworker lies about his name is probably orders of magnitude smaller than that someone you just randomly met in an online chat does so.
Tmux is great even for local dev. I use it locally and remotely.

Adapt or die luddites
Most of the time people only notice the slowness if they are in the habit of regularly letting huge amounts of output stream to the terminal, so it really depends on how you use your terminal. I agree with you - for me terminal speed was a solved issue in mid 1980's, and has not been an issue since.
At least it's better than how MS handles its documentation. The number of times I've hit "404 fuck you" when looking for info on their products...

Seconding kitty, a while ago I tried like a dozen of different terminal emulators and tested a lot of features including link clicking, escape code rendering, Unicode rendering and so on, and only kitty and Sakura have passed most of my requirements, with Sakura having one issue that I cannot recall that ultimately made me choose kitty. Built-in window splitting without tmux is also great. The only downside is that when you SSH into a remote machine without kitty's terminfo installed, you can't even use backspace or other common keys, which is annoying.
Thanks for the links! Click is cool&bold in that it tries to get rid of all the obsolete baggage, pity it's in C, though
I like native tabs so that I can compartmentalize multiple tmux sessions. Alacritty with tabs would be perfect. Kitty seems to be that - but it’s got some oddities of it’s own.

You're assuming that the author was the person presenting the bet, which was not what was stated.

Your confidence only dropped because of an intuitive recognition that the author presenting the bet is a signal the author previously lied about his name, as both the source of truth, the claim and motive to profit all lie with the author.

None of this is really relevant to the article, so I think it is safer to assume the author meant that some third party presented the bet. Following that, the author's logic makes sense.

Somehow I ended up on Quora's spam list, and despite my many requests, they refuse to unsubscribe me. What I see come through as the subject of those daily e-mails is a constant trickle of inflammatory pseudo-questions, and not infrequently paedo-/incest-adjacent ragebait, intended to provoke engagement. Someone or some algo that someone owns is curating this crap and believes that it's OK that it goes out as the "face of the company" to whoever is on their spam list.

Examples:

- 3 Sept: "I caught my 13 year old daughter using pads for her period without my permission. What do I do now?"

- 24 August: "My 15-year-old son punched his pregnant baby sitter’s belly and she punched him back. She now has a miscarriage and my son has a bruise. Is she wrong for this?"

- 23 August: "My 15-year-old step daughter told me to wash her back in the shower. What should I do?"

- 21 August: "I caught my 14-year-old son and his friend’s 41 year old dad holding hands. Should I be concerned?"

Whats the absolute risk change? Relative risk is utterly meaningless for actually deciding what to do in the context of alternate choices.
The reference to the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) here is puzzling. Foremost, the strongest form of the EMH implies that consistent outperformance is not possible, contradicting the rest of the writing and what I believe is its main point: that evidence in the real world is often much stronger than in models.
But also when switching from the model world of the EMH to real world markets this application is problematic because of the multiple testing problem.
For a trader who recently had a short run of excess profits, the likelihood P(excess returns | skilled) would be high. However, because many diverse traders are in the market and some will show strong performance purely by chance,
P(excess returns) or the marginal likelihood of observing such a winning streak would also be high. This dilutes the high likelihood term, leading to a less dramatic update in the posterior P(skilled | excess returns) . Then, the prior P(skilled) should be adjusted to be much more conservative.
I found the conclusion closer to the 'class collaboration' ideology of Fascism.

Capital and labor are both dysfunctional in the movie, and this is portrayed in a typical socialist way: The upper classes are libertine, corrupt, inattentive, immoral. Labor is overworked, unrepresented, exploited.

However when labor tries to emancipate themselves from the oppressive and rigid order imposed, chaos ensues. They can't manage themselves correctly! So the ultimate solution is a synthesis. The classes stay in their positions (because this is the natural order) but conditions will be improved and so on
There appears to be a missing therefor in the article.
He seems to be hinting that the old adage “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” isn’t as convincing as it sounds because strong (but really extraordinary) evidence is all around us.

However, there is a decided lack of extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claims. That’s why they strike us as extraordinary. We’ve never seen them before. We’ve never seen anything like them. In fact all prior evidence has been strong evidence for ordinary claims.
Several open source software organizations are remarkable. Not little remarkable, big remarkable. As in they show us how alternative models to the typical corporate business model may well be far superior as a way for people to collaborate. For the most part these remarkable are unknown. I have used Debian for (ahem) a very long time without knowing much about the organization and this article was a very good introduction.

I have been aware of the IETF for quite a while. What is most amazing is that the internet today was built (more-or-less) by the IETF. See The Tao of IETF (https://www.ietf.org/about/participate/tao/). This is an organization with no members. It just works. Hardly anyone really knows about it.

Just as interesting is what happened when the corporate world decided to compete with the IETF for control of how the internet worked. Some people call this the protocol wars. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Wars). For a while it seemed like each month the OSI would announce a project to replace parts of the internet, like TCP, with an X.protocol. Of these efforts very few survived and thrived - like X.509.

The question that comes to my mind is whether these kind of democratic type collaborative organizations are in fact superior (far superior?) to the traditional corporate model. I personally have watched many corporations act with obvious stupidity. Doing things that can only be described as severely fight-their-way-out-of-a-paper-bag challenged. To put it kindly.

Certainly these other-style organizations do not really stack up on an economic basis. The income of most corporations dwarfs that of both the IETF and Debian. And yet as a contributor and creator, I can ask Cuo Bono? Certainly not the contributors, they subsist.

And perhaps most interesting to me, and perhaps worth an experiment, is whether it is possible to use an IETF or Debian style model that competes with the corporate model. It did work once with the Protocol Wars, so maybe.

I took a look before this year and it used to be that their value proposition was more so geared towards sharing terminal inputs and outputs easily. Now they seem to be leveraging OpenAI APIs instead as their main value prop.

However, I still don't really see why someone would pay 12 bucks a month for that when they could just pay a little bit more for full blown ChatGPT and use AI for much more than terminal commands (and there are already terminal and vim plugins to directly query GPT with your API key, which is orders of magnitudes cheaper than Warp). It seems like a product that has no clear target market or target usage, seems more like a feature than a full product.
> I am actually developing a platform to compete with pateon.

This was you in the original post. If you consider Patreon a competitor, then you need to understand their business model far better than you apparently do. You don't need to copy them, but you do need to understand them. You cannot compete with an established company that you have given zero effort to understand.
My favorite part is his economic indicator is the volume of promotional emails.
I think you are mischaracterizing both the nature of Bayesian probability updates, and also the foundation underlying scientific expertise.

In the first case, prior probabilities are more often than not weakly informative. In the latter case, experts usually rely on a huge volume of information, beyond what most laypeople could even imagine.
It took me about five years to save my down payment. I lived very frugally, don't have a wife, don't have a kid, I paid less than $20k on note for each of my cars, and do not have college debt. I'd say it's fairly difficult if you start moving any of the knobs I minimized or set to zero above. Even then, after my down payment money was tight for the first year because it was everything I had.

I got a mortgage similar to what OP mentioned but I have a veterans home loan. Most people I know don't have one of those, so their mortgage that was gotten at the same time as mine is closer to $4k/m.

The market correctly valued Meta a $380.

Then Meta announced they were going all in on the Metaverse, had set fire to $100bn so far and were going to continue to throw ~$20bn a year into the Metaverse - the market correctly valued Meta a $100.

Meta announded they were going all in on the Ai - the market correctly valued Meta at $315.

You have picked a poor example; the moves in the stock, are primarily the fault of themselves. Those that saw the emergence of Ai and Zuckerberg as one of the leaders in the space got a nice 3x. If it didnt happen, Meta stock would probably be worth about as much as MySpace.

fwiw I said they were going to zero when they rebranded to Meta. Turns out I was wrong.
You forgot taxes. $38k - $27k in taxes = $11k savings. So 9 years to save up, by which time housing inflation will have taken the price to ~$700k. You are then $40k short for the down payment.
Living below your means (whatever that is) is a very good thing, not a bad thing.

Show HN: I built an app I always wanted to quickly share snippets
Hi!
I'm a backend architect by day, an indie iOS developer by night.

This spring, I wanted to experiment with iMessage app extensions for another app I build, and I needed a proof-of-concept that binding a SwiftUI view in this iMessage context would work correctly.

Not only this is possible, but this project became a bit more, because it transformed the way I started sharing piece of information I often need to have at hand.

My first use case was my IBAN sharing, often shared with relatives. Each time I was asked for it, I would have to open my bank app, have a correct internet connection, and a few minutes of my time to find it, copy it, and removing the extra un-needed info from the pasted content.

Instead, opening my newly created iMessage app, and taping it would simply paste it in the iMessage textfield, ready to be sent.

SharePal was born.

Other use cases were quickly found: URLs to my blog posts, apps, and social networks, but also hashtags I often use when I'm microblogging. This is why I also enabled the custom keyboard extension for this app. Behaving similarly to the iMessage app, it was _almost_ free to support.

After finding a UI/UX that would feel right, and adding a few more features that felt right at home for this kind of app, including categories, access restriction by biometry, drag and drop, and Apple Shortcuts integration, the app launched this week in the App Store.

I'm open to discussion about this app. Any improvement or feature request, bug spotting, or marketing advices… I take it all!

I'll also be very happy to share implementation or technical details about this 100% SwiftUI app that packs way more than it seems.
