"Bluevec was the subject of a civil suit by competitor Vancouver-based SkyCope Technologies, which alleged Bluevec stole trade secrets through former SkyCope employees and gained a competitive advantage.

Last year, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Nitya Iyer ordered Jia, Bluevec and another Bluevec employee to pay $800,000 to SkyCope for misusing its confidential information and selling a direction-finding code to Chinese anti-drone company Beijing Lizheng Technology.

In court, Jia testified Lizheng was Bluevec’s biggest customer, but SkyCope alleged Jia was the owner of the Beijing company. Court records cited a decision on a separate case by a Beijing arbitration commission that found Jia was a shareholder in Lizheng and held shares in the company held in trust by other individuals."

TL; DR Founder appears to be a serial liar per court decisions in China and Canada. He stole anti-drone technology from a Canadian company (EDIT: stole Canadian technology from a Chinese-owned company operating in Canada) and gave it to China.

The answer to "why were builders able to create so much economic value two decades ago?" is "its a much more mature industry now: most of the empty space is filled."

Here are several real-life examples.

3 decades ago, you could've gotten rich by buying 'simple noun' domain names: beer, pinotgrigio, moving on down the list, stuff like that. You could literally just buy ad space on Google for next to nothing, pump money in, get more money out. You could decide to be the Internet expert on 'potato guns' and build an entire business off that, by writing blog posts alone. You could film yourself all day and become a rich YouTuber, just by showing up and recording videos daily.

Try doing that now! You can't live off the profit of any of these methods as written. So naturally the builders, who are upstream of that, can't do it either.
AIUI it's the other way around: most banks will front their customers the money, assuming that the check won't bounce and that, even if it does, the customer will be able to repay the amount the bank fronted them.

What you describe sounds like Chime isn't willing to take credit risk on its customers.
In my experience? Yeah, Zellij's UX for session management vastly improves over that of screen and tmux, and it comes out of the box with much saner defaults. However, like tmux, it offers more than just session management, and also like tmux, it does it all while remaining rather small and performant.

Just try it and see if you like it. I've found that most of things I didn't like, mainly the default TUI borders and buttons, were far more easily reconfigured compared to tmux.

So about two years ago, we got my sister in law to move into our house, because she was graduating high school and we felt that there was more opportunity in NYC than in small-town-USA, at least for a younger person.

We like having her around, she's very nice, but she's also had trouble finding new friends/social-circles here, and I kind of feel bad for dragging her up here as a result. I've always been someone who is happy enough alone, and I generally find a few coworkers at every job that I become friends with anyway, it's never been too hard for me, but I realize that I'm pretty weird. I feel like I yanked her away from a relatively comfortable and established social circle, brought her to a place where she knows nobody, and then just expected everything to be ok, which makes me feel like a dick.

Doesn't help that I ended up yelling at her boyfriend a week ago, for valid-but-not-worth-yelling-about reasons, and now I think she's afraid to leave her bedroom, so I might have inadvertently given her hikikomori tendencies. I'm an asshole :/

> I can’t run single a bit of it locally and the testing feedback loop is tied to a 45 minute CICD pipeline (with a build queue, of course).

That’s so much friction, what a nightmare! I hope this is not a common situation to be in. Environments should easily be reproduced locally as in the cloud.

This reminds of how difficult it was to setup github actions because you cannot run the pipeline locally, so to succeed with your pipeline, you have to do trial & error with the only feedback given from the Github Actions server.

I’m in the same position as you, and I agree wholeheartedly. The one thing I’ll say is that I think 20 years is optimistic.

I’ve been involved in a few huge, greenfield projects that were mostly building new things from the ground up. There was an air of “true” building around. But it was astonishing how quickly that faded away. It took less than a year after our first launch for a lot of people to start leaving the team, citing reasons like their job was now just drudgery maintenance work or small feature adjustments, which is definitely less attractive and inspiring.

And that is reinforced by career paths as well. See: the trope about Google promotions based on new launches, not bugs fixed. And people definitely idolize “the engineer that built Linux” more than “the engineer that has patched 1000 linux bugs”.

> the use of the word fascism to describe right-wing authoritarians is a waste of time

Sort of adjacent to your point. I think the label 'Fascist' best serves us when we apply it to fascist behaviors.

I'm not saying Fascist isn't a reasonable label for people who embrace fascist behaviors. It is.

But 1) understanding and identifying fascist behaviors - this is how we know when to apply the label and

2) the behaviors are the mechanism for harm; they deserve our greater focus and

3) People are multiple things and things change. Behavior is what it is.
Huge swathes of terminal ecosystem falls into worse is better. Implementing terminal emulator in terminal is just on-par here. You can make all sorts of interesting arguments between the options, but ultimately there are no "good" choices here, its all more or less worse.
I ssh from a mac into linux servers for my everyday work.

I went from tmux + vim TO (doom) emacs + tramp + projectile. I think I outgrew vim, and emacs EVIL gave me VIM but also magit and org and projectile. I tried to work in the emacs shell for a while. I realised I need tmux persistence still. Emacs shell also just doesn't do well with EVIL mode. So now I just do all development on emacs and manage runs etc through my tmux, occasionally still using vim on the tmux to manage config files when I don't want to load them into emacs because its a one off.

I dk about kitty, but I'm a fan of Kovid Goyal's calibre. I can't imagine how I would live without a. multiplexing b.persistence c.returning me to my context. And I never have had any tmux problems.

I've been using tmux for some time now and have gotten pretty good with it, but the other day I got fed up with small problems of copy mode and how it displays tabs, so i tried zellij.

First impression: way too much visual clutter. Second, way too many key bindings I don't need. And one configuration file later: a perfect replacement for tmux, with just the right amount of features for me.

> In other words in order to be able to compile this source file you first need to parse the source file and all included sources until you hit the export declaration and then throw away the result.

I might be completely wrong here, but reading this reminded me of barrel files [1] in JS/TS projects, which are an absolute nightmare. I put together a little visualization a while back that demonstrated how much extra work is required to resolve the module graph if you forward exports, and it is orders of magnitude more than just importing something directly from the file where it is exported. If this is also the case for C++ modules, I'd like to buy the author a beer or six.

Turing machine is the embodiment of all computer programs. And then you come across the halting problem. LLMs can probably generate all books in existence, but it can't apply judgement to it. Just like you need programmers to actually write the program and verify that it correctly solves the problem.

Natural languages are more flexible. There are no functions libraries, or paradigms to ease writing. And the problem space can't be specified and usually relies on shared context. Even if we could have snippets of prompts to guide text generations, the result is not that valuable.
> Energy/performance wise they are poison, every byte has to be parsed twice, once by the middleman and once by the terminal

I get that software bloat is a problem, but it's a little strange to hear a man whine about the overhead of a byte getting parsed twice as part of a terminal session when ten years ago desktop computers had around 8-9GB/sec memory bandwidth and single-thread performance measured in multiple billions of operations per second...

...when he refuses to split out highly dynamic functions (the news parsers) of Calibre into a plugin so that he doesn't have to version-bump Calibre every time a newspaper slightly changes their website and breaks the parser, forcing tens of thousands of users to update the entire package (and he doesn't implement a self-updater, much less one with binary diff capability.)

What hardware store have you gone to where this was an issue for you?
This is valuable context behind understanding the issue. I apologise for the unfounded accusation, though in my defence the issue probably could have used this clarification.

In any case, I sympathise with being constrained by design/interface of underlying technology. One one hand, I suspect like most people I lack the knowledge of Nginx internals or its Lua API. But on the other hand, it's cool that one has an escape hatch in terms of being able to leverage other solutions from the underlying platform.

My last two cents on this matter (not a criticism or demand), since the docs are beginner friendly, perhaps a likewise friendly guide on dropping down to `ngx` API for the rare case when such escape hatches are needed (e.g. cookbook for this websocket scenario) could be beneficial for end user, even if the primary focus of Lapis is to enable one to not have to do that.
