Aside from the strong selection bias, you've also been raised in a culture that both works and values work.

Now imagine you're a third generation UBI recipient. Your parents never worked, and you're surrounded by people who don't even "work" in the way which you describe it.

At that point, I have very little hope, even for people predisposed to it like you.
> This depends on your definition of “print”. What if your stdout is not a TTY?

If it’s not a tty then you don’t print the ansi escape sequences. Just like how every other well behaving command line utility works.

> Also, if your stdout is a TTY, but your terminal is not ANSI X3.64? You might be able to look up the corresponding escape codes in terminfo based on $TERM (or simply use tput(1)), but the terminal might not even be able to perform those operations. What do you do then?

This feels unnecessarily argumentative but I’ll humour you.

Don’t use $TERM as your only method of fingerprinting a terminal. $TERM is as useless at determining terminal capabilities as the User-Agent string is for determining a web browser’s capabilities.

That all said, the actual ANSI sequences needed to perform the UX I suggested has been standardised since the days of vt100. So even nearly every hardware terminal will support it.

And if you do happen to be running an actual teletype, well you’re in a museum so your use case is very different.

In terms of terminal emulators, most strive for xterm compatibility. And even those that don’t, will still support vt100 sequences. If they didn’t, then even things like readline (and thus Bash) wouldn’t work in their usual expected way.

Sure, the “correct” way to use ansi escape sequences is to query terminfo. But in reality you can get away with hardcoding vt100 sequences for most things. Plus you’ll reduce overhead for your utilities for something that is guaranteed to be supported anyway. In fact perversely, you might actually improve portability because terminfo itself isn’t universal (plenty of non-POSIX systems support ansi sequences but don’t ship terminfo).
> Why doesn’t it act like almost everything else in js land and return an object with 2 named fields

The explanation is actually very simple: because in 100% of times you need to give those two fields custom names. It is easier and more concise with tuple:

const [text, setText] = ...

Than with object + renaming, which quickly gets clumsy when you have dozens of such lines in your component:

const {value: text, setValue: setText} = ...

A particular framework version usually depends on a particular version of build tools, and those are written to a particular release of an OS. When apple updates Xcode the compiled npm packages often have to update support as well, and the old versions of those packages start breaking on new OS releases. You can’t ship a web app that you can’t build.

An often used hack is containerizing the dev setup to decouple from OS versions, but that comes with its own set of downsides.

I too see this; I have a big hole in my DE knowledge, even though I manage a lot of data for our clients. I just work from experience and have been using more or less the same tech for decades (with upgrades and one major 'newer' addition; Clickhouse). I try to learn DE stuff, but I do find it particularly hard because i'm NOT a DE but an SWE, so I really quickly fall back on the tooling I already know and love and see very little reasons for anything else.

So is there a something like 'DE for SWE's' someone would recommend here?

Well, the difference is that solutions like this automate the hoovering-up of everybody's data.

I know that some things that people share with me are more or less sensitive, and I use my knowledge and empathy to decide what I should and shouldn't repeat. I would tell my friend "Oh yeah, Carl said he can't make it to the party tonight," but I wouldn't tell them "Carl is absent from the party due to an IBS flare-up."

I'm still fairly new to Go, but I've been iterating on the idea of approaching HTML as basic string generation and ditching all of the other complexity. I have a single function that generates HTML tags from name, content and property arguments. Everything else just builds on it. [1]

I'm really curious to do some benchmarking and see how this compares to template-based HTML generation. It seems theoretically possible to accumulate raw data first and then build the document from top to bottom (instead of piecing together a lot of intermediate strings), but I'm not sure the complexity would justify the performance gains.

I also just learned about `gocomponents` [2] in another thread here, which seems to be a similar idea with a substantial headstart. I could probably just switch to it, but I kind of like the idea of following a pattern instead of installing a dependency.

If your organization sells services that are fulfilled by contractors who are vetted by your organization and branded with your organization's logos, then those contractors are affiliates of your organization.

> slaves under christianity were not horribly abused as they were part of the church

I'm not sure that's strictly true. It of course varied by time and place and the Church tried to somewhat limit the worst abuse.

Also a clear workaround was to enslave infidels. Muslims enslaved Christians (and basically depopulate many coastal areas across the Mediterranean), in turn Christians were fine with enslaving Muslims (all though they didn't necessarily have that many opportunities) and East European pagans were fair game to everyone.
In general, for chickenshit like this, the worst the authorities are likely to say is "Please stop."

> arguably schizophrenia should also be considered neurodivergence

Nope never!

I have experience with schizophrenia and it can never be confused with anything else. The person with it is devoid of reality and does not know they are sick. They resist treatment and sometimes would rather go homeless, stop eating or taking care of themselves, in order to avoid treatment. They pull down everyone in their lives trying to help them, and it really takes a toll on family and relationships.
The second-generation Airpods Pro even do feature a custom low-latency audio codec, but it's apparently only used for the Vision Pro (which is a real shame, as it would be extremely useful for latency-critical things like playing rhythm games on iOS and macOS as well).

On the standards side, there's Bluetooth LE audio, which also offers very low latency, but that might actually require hardware changes (I believe there's reliance on some hardware layer changes).

Even the evidence listed (the retweeted tweet in the article) doesn't support the claim of the author to me. If you open source software and give it a license that permits commercial use on top of it, then you are okay with that use. If I was a cohort of a team that built an open sourced AI editor I would think they would WANT me to build on top of it. Otherwise, why permit that use? They may have a bad business model, where their business does not work if they open source their tech and other companies build competitors on top of it. But that's a questions for them and their decision to open source. But it doesn't seem shady to use open source software from another company that permits commercial use.

> If anything, it appears that neural networks are far further along than any quantum mechanism for approximating whatever "consciousness" actually is? And neural networks are absolutely not quantum mechanical.

I know next to nothing about either, but I wanna try to disagree with that.

LLMs fool people into believing they‘re conscious, because they‘ve been trained on extraordinary amounts of thoughts and data outputted by the world‘s top conscious creature. They appear conscious because consciousness is in the training data.

To me, neural networks more closely mimic the brain in what I would (poorly) call „bodily functions“. I include language processing and speech in this definition.

There are people that don‘t have an inner monologue - which is totally fascinating to me - who are perfectly conscious like everyone else. Simon Roper, who doesn‘t, has fascinating YouTube videos on these topics.

Have you tried trail running? Running in nature on windy trails is much more fun than just running along on asphalt. Because each trail is different it's also more difficult to compare pace and time between runs, so it's easier to stop thinking about the clock and just focus on the trail in front of you.

I hate running on tread mills even though that's probably also good training, but I don't consider it "real running" because of how mind numbing it is. But I always look forward to a good run in nature no matter the weather or time of year.

> GrapheneOS would not exist if AOSP didn't have an open-source license

First, Graphene OS is used by... less than 0.01% of Android users, so again, thank you for confirming my point. Furthermore, GrapheneOS is harmful for the ecosystem. Similar to VSCode, proprietary services are essentially gated out from alternatives to the default proprietary Android. And the big problem with Graphene and other AOSP forks, is they waste developer effort while protecting monopolies. Every developer-hour wasted on Graphene is a developer-hour not spent on a truly open mobile OS, and that's sad.

> Electron

We could live without it. Nobody needs a whole browser to ship a single page app. But also...

> Microsoft Edge and Brave browser wouldn't exist

So remember that whole part where I said 99.99% of use is the proprietary forks? Edge is, of course, completely proprietary. (Brave is just a cryptocurrency grift, will focus on Edge here.) Microsoft is a monopoly in several respects still, and Edge adds several anti-features like ads on the start page and shopping "features" which collect your shopping behavior. Furthermore, the switch to Chromium for Edge makes the Internet ecosystem worse. Because one of the largest independent web rendering engines disappeared overnight... further contributing to Google's monopoly stranglehold over the web ecosystem, and it's ability to essentially force standards bodies to comply with it's choices or become irrelevant.

> if the OSI had been smarter or more ethical

I think time travel conjecture is sort of pointless, obviously there are dozens of conditions on when good licenses got approved, what projects adopted them, etc. But if SSPL was approved, as the viral copyleft license it is, less open alternatives would evaporate overnight. Without the risk Amazon would lift your product, wrap it in a proprietary platform, and simultaneously undercut you on cost, I think at least for SaaS, there'd be very little reason for a business to launch without providing their code on fair terms.

All that being said, the discourse around the OSI and open source is toxic enough and compromised enough, I think shifting to new terms is ideal anyways. I saw https://fair.io/ "fair source" recently, which seems quite reasonable, though I'd love to also see an expression of it more focused around labor and sustainability in addition to just business case. Developers deserve to get paid for their work, and I feel the primary goal of open source at this point is to cultivate free labor for the tech monopolies backing the OSI.
