I liked kitty, but this was part of what drove me away. My terminal at work spans the bottom half of my monitor, and is typically split into 2-3 panes. I’ll also have multiple named windows at any given time. This works amazingly well for me, and I have no desire to switch.

My other problem was having TERMINFO available on remote servers. I’m not about to start installing alternative terminal emulators in prod, and while there is a workaround to losing control characters, IIRC it’s a pain.
On an induvidual level people are beating them by creating vapourware Ai startups and selling them to the big tech companies for stupid valuations, before proceeding to the roof for a bit of rest and vest.
You chose an awfully complicated way to say something that's most simple: "Everyone's wrong". And if that's your point, it's a cheap cop out.

I don't think you worry about the Russian citizens of Ukraine more than you worry about cheering for your team. You could check the UN reports on what's been happening there during the 8 years of civil war we chose to ignore, as if the world started with Russians "completely unprovoked" invasion. I guess we can both agree that Russian actions aren't silly, dumb or random, but calculated.

I have to admit I don't follow journalism that has lied to me in the past, so I don't know exactly what they're selling you, but I am interested. So what is your position on why Russia attacked Ukraine? For natural resources(I guess geography was taken off the curriculum after I was in school), invasion of the whole of Europe (I remember friends calling me in panic what to do, now that the Russians are coming.. I live in a EU country fairly west), or just pure hatred for Ukrainians in their heart (Balkan style)?

> Bash scripts should be simple glue between programs

If a script is literally just running a list of commands and occasionally piping the output from one to another, you may as well make it POSIX compliant (therefore a sh script) since you're not using any features of Bash anyway.

> But I always feel that if you reach a certain complexity in your bash scripts, you should rather pivot to any other $lang.

This is a common critique, but what other lang?

I make Bash scripts all the time for system administration tasks, and they largely just werk™ as long as you have Bash (90% of the time pre-installed) and the necessary commands. From there, any command can be readily called, piped, or saved to variables/arrays, and Bash has powerful (enough) native math and string manipulation capabilities.

Meanwhile with Python there's always some hassle installing dependencies with pip(x) and virtual environments, plus the unfortunate rare Python 2 encounter where you either gotta rewrite the whole thing in python 3 or figure out how to install the old Python 2 runtime and 3rd party python 2 libraries used in the script on your distro.

I don't see the appeal of sonething like the OP though. I can't imagine the "precompiled" scripts are so much more readable its worth the incomprehensible mess it appears to generate with the "compiled" script.

Why are people so afraid of Bash?
Imagine all the nefarious use-cases of these "face search" sites.

> Adults who trust each other not to steal babies go on to trust one another around older children playing unsupervised.

Such delusion to think we could have a society where people don’t steal babies the moment they are left unattended. I bet they’re not even worried about a passerby taking candy from them too.
This is the first thing I've seen in the Scala 3 ecosystem that makes practical application of the new features of Scala 3 and solves real-world problems.

You don't need the horrible mess of exceptions to get stacktraces on errors.

You can tack on stacktraces on go's errors manually, but it's somewhat limited. Rust has some env var to enable stacktraces IIRC, which is a better solution.

OK, but a good yardstick to measure where people are at - like your comment.

I can't say I would never torture someone but the only reason I can see myself actually doing so would be for movie reasons, like where the super virus was hidden but I've read toouch data on how tortured people essentially just anything and everything they think you want to hear, I could never outright trust answers I got via torture - the virus is a bad example, I couldn't trust a person I tortured to honestly give me the names of people that are against me, for a better example.

Prostitution tho - that's a whole different thing.

Ever wonder why it's the world's oldest profession??

Bc most men didnt have families like we think of families now, like lots came from families but didn't start one - were single their whole lives.

The military is a great example. Was a lifelong guard, living in the castle barracks keeping his wife and kids there? They didn't really get time off... or choices in general.

Women were also valuable to their Fathers as virgins but a burden as an unwed mother - Mediaval Fathers did not allow their daughters to just hang out with young men.

For lots of men, sex with a prostitute was the only sex, with a women, they would ever have.

Compilation to binaries works fine. A SBCL binary will weight ±35MB (compressed, 120MB uncompressed). This includes everything (compiler, debugger etc). A bigger app with dozens of deps doesn't grow too fast, like ±40MB for a web app. I think that's in the ballparks of a growing Go app. LispWorks allows to shrink the binary size to ±4MB (but then you can't connect to it remotely and live reload the running image). Start-up times are very fast.

A SBCL binary relies on GLIBC. There was a patch for truly static binaries, needs more care (https://www.timmons.dev/posts/static-executables-with-sbcl-v...)

It's true you need to choose and include a dependency for common tasks: HTTP client, JSON and CSV… As for "lean", well, it depends. See awesome-cl. CL's ecosystem is richer for some tasks than other emerging and trendy languages, poorer in some areas. Interfacing with Java or Python is possible (ABCL and LispWorks, py4cl2).
If you already have a smartphone and your issue is addiction/time spent on it, why not just strip the phone down to a utility device?

If it's a willpower issue, surely its better to try to overcome that issue and change your frame of mind regarding your phone (seeing it as a utility, rather than entertainment), just as it is for other things in your life that will demand willpower.

I use my phone about 10-15 minutes a day. It sits in my pocket until I need some utility or somebody contacts me.

Anecdotally, one of my friends switched to a dumbphone and loves to use "not having a smartphone" as a talking point, despite annoying myself and others with requests to check things on our smartphones for him. It's quite tiresome.

In the US leaving your baby unsupervised is likely to result in someone calling CPS and a bunch of trouble for you.

That's not really true. Just because central planning be done stupidly doesn't mean it never works. Check out the number of countries that don't have something like a central bank stabilizing their currency which is approx zero out of 200 or so countries.

> "Unused vars are warnings" is not a possible opinion for go, period. It's also not a possible opinion for go tooling like 3rd party linters.

Right, but that doesn't mean that Go doesn't have an opinion about unused variables. Go's opinion is that they are compiler errors.

> my point is that it's not a design choice but a side effect of choosing "we don't have compiler warnings".

What makes you think that? I don't think "we don't have compiler warnings" was behind the choice to make unused variables a compiler error. It seems like a deliberate design decision on the part of the Go team.
Yes, Acros II is still a unique product which seems pretty much identical to the original Fuji-made Acros. See: https://bluemooncameracodex.com/film-fridays/ffacrosii I've shot a roll of Acros II and liked it, although I thought the shadows blocked up a bit at box speed and will likely shoot my next roll at 64 instead of 100 (or shoot at 125 and push one stop).

(I never said Acros II was a relabeled Ilford product; I said Ilford was making Acros II for Fuji.)
If you have so little trust in the dev, why would you use iTerm2 in the first place instead of the built in Terminal app?

Based on the same unfounded paranoia, how do we know it’s not keylogging your passwords and or stealing other sensitive information you enter into the terminal? Oh right, we can just check the source code because it’s open source.

I have as much AI feature fatigue as the next person, but feel like I have way more anti-AI histeria fatigue at this point. Seems like for some people all rational thinking goes out the window as soon as AI is mentioned and pure emotion takes over.

I think the benefit of the ICMP testing is to develop a baseline of the network performance characteristics, making it easier to determine what impact various TCP features are having in higher level application/protocol tests.

Theoretically it is possible to do route between arbitrary endpoints, and I think I read a while ago that there was work on this. How well this works for any two terminals that are not on the same satellite depends on the efficiency of routing packets between satellites. I would assume that creating efficient routing paths between dynamic customer terminals and fixed aggregation points makes it easier to provide fairly consistent network performance than building dynamic, rapidly changing paths between arbitrary end points.

This -- crashes -- is other people's experiences of the snap, for sure (including mine).

In my experience it proved to be to do with an underlying library in the Snap (Coin3D I think? probably?) not having been built with Wayland support. I imagine that explains it for almost everyone.

Whereas the older FreeCAD 0.20.2 distributed by Ubuntu did have that support. That was highly stable.

This (and issues sorting out the relative size of the interface when dealing with fractional scaling) is absolutely a pain point. So I use it on a Mac at the moment.

Though a friend who had trouble in the same way has found that the recent Flatpak install works (with some unsetting of XDG_SESSION_TYPE)

This isn't as clear cut of a case as you make it out to be. Britain's recently been on a path of overregulation bordering tyranny and limiting free speech. Canada is on a similar path. German green and red party politicians recently caught flack for trying to criminalize unpleasant critique. Press freedom and press independence are actively getting worse and Europe is setting course on a path of nationalism and conservative hardliners and there's an active war being fought on its borders. Islamic nationalism is on the rise and the issue concerning unregulated migration has a real chance to cause uprisings in the continent.

I do not like powerful guns in the hands of the population and I love the idea of a peaceful civilization without the need for violence, but you're living in a relatively short peaceful historic phase, which is just now starting to take a turn for worse again.
I instantly thought of this comment when reading Tom's eloquent post. Tom is rightly advocating for more of the rich kids to not settle and keep throwing the darts. Rightly because this is the demographic that VCs want to invest in.

Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something.
Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.

Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work.

Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it.

> You just seem to keep repeating that legislation like this is dangerous

And you keep repeating that it's a problem for the legislators that E2EE technology exists, when it's not. If a person doesn't think this is ethically problematic, even only 10 caught sex offenders every year would be consider a win. Whether there are ways to circumvent the law or not (hint: there are always ways) is irrelevant.

> Meaning that "this law targets child pornography" makes no sense

It makes total sense! I can almost guarantee that there would be more than 0 child sexual abusers who will use WhatsApp post this law, and will be caught. The aim of this law is to limit the spread of CSAM, and if more than 0 people are caught then the legislators will have succeeded (to some extent).

Then when ChatControl 3.0 comes, targeting terrorists and organised crime within the same framework, again more than 0 will probably be caught. With ChatControl 15.0 worthless discussions online about legislation will be reported to employers and I will be caught ;-).

Therefore, as I wrote in my original post, we need to explain WHY this is dangerous and not worth it. The fact that "E2EE exists and you can't catch all bad guys" is a very weak argument.
