> But is this a fundamental constraint, or something we can challenge? Is there any good reason why terminals can't deal with structured data instead?

What do you mean by structured data? The escape codes are structured. And any structured dat would be sent as a stream of bytes.

Also consider that if everything had to json messages, that would mean that programs that didn't care about controlling a terminal would need to determine if their stdout was a terminal or a pipe, and properly format content if it was a terminal.

I think the concept of escape sequences is fine.

Although, I do wish that there was a way for the terminal and application to communicate out of bound. In particular that would allow querying the terminal without having to worry about getting unexpected input before the response, and you could send graphics or clipboard data out of band without tying up the terminal itself.

> But is this a fundamental constraint, or something we can challenge? Is there any good reason why terminals can't deal with structured data instead?

I mostly agree with that. Although it brings up the question of how an rgb color should be converted to a more limited color set. Should it approximate the nearest color for some definition of nearest, or should it ignore the color setting altogether. Though I think it would be better for that complexity to be centralized in the terminal instead of having to be implemented in every application.

> nor should the terminal itself have to support hundreds of emulation targets

I definitely agree with this.

I think we could use a standard terminal control spec that standardizes the things that modern terminals mostly agree on, and removes things that aren't really used anymore. And have a standard mechanism to query for optional or vendor specific capabilities. And write some decent documentation for the control codes (which if it already exists I haven't been able to find, at least in a single place).

> Pedantic point: electric typewriters (which have existed since the 1960s) do type in a way that looks exactly like this.

Wrong. Literally gooogle "selectric type sample" and see dozens of examples of them not typing anywhere near in a perfect line. Maybe machines with very low hours or kept in excellent condition might have excellent spacing, but there's plenty of examples of them obviously not having perfect spacing.

Another example where misalignment is even more obvious:

https://www.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/sc519r/ibm_sel...

http://www.jollinger.com/typewriters/typewriters/IBM_Selectr...

you can also see inconsistent letter spacing, more obvious on some fonts than others, but you can see some characters are connected and others aren't. And no, it's not just the position of the character relative to others on the ball.

As the author points out, these characters have perfect vertical alignment.

Then go look at high speed footage of the 'golfball' in action and you can see the substantial deflection caused by how fast and forceful the movements are. You can see the entire assembly is bouncing around as the rails it's on flex:

There's no difference these days. It's just part of any other chat. It used to be that you had to start a chat with data analysis. Now you just pick your model (3, 4, or 4o).
That's a heckin' assumption you're injecting there.

For a drone to fly a system of motors, batteries, sensors and microprocessors has to engage in a complex real-time process to maintain stability, navigate and acquire targets.

Disrupt any of that, the drone falls out of the sky. Or goes off course. Or explodes.

Punching through steel is useful when you're trying to shootdown dumb-fire artillery rounds which have to survive being fired under a 310MPa pressure and need to trigger an internal detonation.

A drone with a camera will be blinded if it catches even a glancing reflection of a 50kW laser. And every bit of defense you add to that system is now increasing cost, weight and power requirements. How quickly can the laser track and engage a drone? It's light, so the time is limited solely by optics tracking speed - for all purposes impact is instantaneous.

And the idea of "stealth" runs in direct opposition to all ideas of reflective coatings - since that does the exact opposite of what stealth materials do to defeat RADAR and LIDAR.

given the current market they probably do.

But when many companies barely respect the employees to begin with, they shouldn't be surprised when the employee disengages and always has an eye on the next opportunity. There will always be other semi-unavoidable issues like pay, location, and personal passions that get in the way, but having some intention to retain and nurture your talent will go a long way. Something that has very clearly shown to NOT be the case these last 18 months or so.

I worked at DA in a volunteer capacity (Gallery Director mostly) from 2004-2008 and have been on the site since 2002.

I actually started writing a long screed about this on my own blog last year with the AI debacle but shelved it (now I feel compelled to return to it)

DA had plenty of small problems and a few big ones, exacerbated by incredibly green leadership at the top. It was pretty much run off the whims of the CEO, who even when he had good ideas, had no execution focus, and often outright ignored capable feedback from his lieutenants.

Things like having an app, an API, a GTM strategy that was remotely baked for feature releases was simply non-existent at BEST, and done in the most haphazard more typically.

DA eventually shredded its own community; exhausting most of its most dedicated members, and ignored offers for acquisition that made much more fiscal and practical sense then the pittance it eventually went for to that trashfire place called Wix, who in all likelihood will eventually sell off bits for scrap.

DA was a true gem for a decade, and then fell in spite of that due to categorical poor management and vision (or the execution thereof).

Correction: you think taboos you happen to agree with exist for a reason.

For example, say you lived in modern-day Russia where it is taboo to say that Putin can make a mistake and that the West is not all-evil. Still a good taboo? Even if it is accepted by the majority?
Yeah, but someone has to first trust the signer.

I'm confused, on the home page I clicked "next" which takes me to this exercise: https://rust-exercises.com/01_intro/01_syntax but on that ostensibly "first" exercise they write:

Enough time has passed, I guess I can speak my mind a bit. I'm sorry, but in my opinion, The downfall of DeviantART was when Angelo fucked with Scott and Eric. Scott and Eric should have run it with Chris and Heidi. Kicking a co-founder out unceremoniously, and especially the co-founder who was responsible for the customers, that was really ill guided. I have nothing against Angelo personally, I'd still consider him a friend, but yeah, I truly believe dA would have been amazing today if that hadn't happened, everything got really fucked up after that imo.

Building DigitalOcean was fun, but building dA was 1000 times more fun, best times of my life for sure, very very grateful.

Art teacher speaking. The influence of DeviantArt (and now ArtStation) on young a tists is staggering, and not always good.

I just don't care that much but it's been on my "problems to solve" list for some time now to not have to remember which external my Buffy DVD rips are on. I'd be interested if someone has some 1337 tips on how to build a nice NAS for cheap. (ebay/craigslist? datacenter decommissioning?)

It costs time and money to run those scans, and people wouldn’t be doing it if it wasn’t profitable.

There's nothing missing from society. This is the natural state of humanity, and one always must be vigilant. The only thing keeping thousands of people from trying every home's physical front door every 5 seconds to see if it's unlocked is that it's not scalable. If it were possible, it would be happening. AND, if it did start happening, it would not be a law enforcement problem unless law enforcement became equally scalable.

This is not a popular opinion and it often gets dunked on reflexively, but I truly believe the default is low-trust. We are one evolutionary step away from chimpanzees, with barely enough "society" grafted on to our world, which mostly doesn't function. You need to assume you are under potential attack at all times and be prepared to defend against it. Whether it be a physical attack, social engineering, scams, advertisements... in cyber-space and in meat-space. Any other security posture, long term will eventually open you up to a breach by an adversary.
Hahahaha good digging man.
I don't know rust, generally don't advocate writing things in rust but I find the people complaining about the people advocating for rust to be completely insufferable.

> The Internet can be dumb as snot. Have doubt.

Yeah, that’s sort of the point of the original post. Have doubt.

One of the central rules of the internet (and outside the internet. But especially on the internet.) is that people are often fucking liars. This is especially true when it comes to memorabilia.

This seller’s history is littered selling so-called authentic things like business cards and concert tickets and based on this incident, I personally think every single one of them is fraudulent.

You might like playing contrarian to defend the honor of an obvious forger, and that’s your right. But it isn’t defamation to call a liar a liar. Truth is an affirmative defense.

Someone with an actual Apple badge from that era said the badge is fake. The text doesn’t match that person’s badge. The photo use for Sherry is obviously both a stock photo and too high resolution to be used on an employee badge from a tiny company in California in the 1970s. The badge is too well-preserved, even for a relic that the seller claims to have purchased in 2001 (or was it 2003 or 2004, seeing as their own story kept changing). There are so many red flags when looking at this thing that it doesn’t matter if one of the proof points doesn’t live up to your standards. This is a fake item.

You’re the one trying to score internet points, not the author who was sharing an interesting exchange he had with a seller who was not only selling a fake item, but probably also forged receipt documents related to the fake item.

Is there some sort of evidence you have that your purported view of the white collar workforce actually believes they are somehow closer to the top than the blue collar workforce?

If anything: I’d argue white collar workers are far more realistic in their outlook on the realities of the disparity between elite executives and the rest of the working populace.

The income separation between a $55k and $300K annual salary are way closer than the difference between a $300K salary and a $1MM+ executive-level salary and I just can’t see how you’d draw any other conclusion than white collar workers are well aware.

Now; if you’re talking about the level of comfortability in living between $55K and $300K; then, sure, white collar workers aren’t going to feel the financial toll of the disparity as much, but it doesn’t at all mean they aren’t aware.

Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant: Finished in 1978 but never used
When I said something like this a few weeks ago, some people replied "well they didn't actually break in, so they didn't do anything against the law". Even when they do, and get shells for miners, ransomware or fraud they say "it's the victim's fault". If there is no moral consideration, that may be true.

I suspect this is one of the overall effects that have come about on account of individuals judging the inequity across the world.

That theory has been thoroughly debunked. The limestone was transported by a network of internal ramps.
How would you propose we deal with within this exactly? Is there a clear way to define a law that would make this activity illegal? Or something you'd propose other than legal recourse?

Personally I don't really know how to draw a clear line between acceptable and unacceptable here. Sure we can assume intent when requesting a users API from a standard WordPress install or plugin, but can we really say what the person's intent is? There are white hat hackers after all, and a law blocking this would almost certainly stop anyone interested in discovering these vulnerabilities and making them known before someone with bad intent finds them.

From Herodotus's account of Egypt:

>They said also that the first man who became king of Egypt was Min; and that in his time all Egypt except the district of Thebes was a swamp, and none of the regions were then above water which now lie below the lake of Moiris, to which lake it is a voyage of seven days up the river from the sea: and I thought that they said well about the land;

Later on

>Such is this labyrinth: but a cause for marvel even greater than this is afforded by the lake, which is called the lake of Moiris, along the side of which this labyrinth is built. The measure of its circuit is three thousand six hundred furlongs (being sixty schoines), and this is the same number of furlongs as the extent of Egypt itself along the sea. The lake lies extended lengthwise from North to South, and in depth where it is deepest it is fifty fathoms. That this lake is artificial and formed by digging is self-evident, for about in the middle of the lake stand two pyramids, each rising above the water to a height of fifty fathoms, the part which is built below the water being of just the same height; and upon each is placed a colossal statue of stone sitting upon a chair. Thus the pyramids are a hundred fathoms high; and these hundred fathoms are equal to a furlong of six hundred feet, the fathom being measured as six feet or four cubits, the feet being four palms each, and the cubits six. The water in the lake does not come from the place where it is, for the country there is very deficient in water, but it has been brought thither from the Nile by a canal; and for six months the water flows into the lake, and for six months out into the Nile again; and whenever it flows out, then for the six months it brings into the royal treasury a talent of silver a day from the fish which are caught, and twenty pounds when the water comes in. The natives of the place moreover said that this lake had an outlet under ground to the Syrtis which is in Libya, turning towards the interior of the continent upon the Western side and running along by the mountain which is above Memphis.

To be fair, the specimen shows some misalignment as well, e.g., the "S" at the very beginning is up and a bit to the left, the "Y" is shifted to the right, and there are small irregularities in "NGST", as well. However, I don't think that they add up in a sensible manner.

Notably, the Red Cross invoice is much worse: additionally to what has been noted in the article already, why would you have a hyphen in "Verkäufername"? Also mind the reoccurring use of "#" for "Nummer", which would have been rather unacceptable in a formal German document.

I have no issue with that style of art, but it really took over the narrative for a while, and that was silly, and I'm still surprised some 20+ years later it was allowed to happen.
Because (the Giza pyramid at least) was built at the site of a massive limestone quarry and a substantial (~20%) proportion of the internal volume of the pyramid is composed of natural rock formation they didn't need to fill in with sandstone.
