Great take. Also agree with parent. I feel like some form of provenance would take us to the next level.
Great job on building a delightful experience! I really like the design.

Back then, Netflix was using the threat of net neutrality regulation as a bargaining chip in their fight with Comcast/Cox. Once they reached an agreement on transit fees the astroturfing stopped. Since then it's only arisen as an wedge issue for politicians to fundraise over. We won't hear about it again until the midterm elections.
> but you agreed to this, when agreeing to the TOS

The legal definition of agreement means basically zilch
Here’s a take I haven’t read yet: I have no sympathy to offer you.

Living organisms probably started as some self replicating RNA. Already a beautiful, complex creation of our Mother Earth.
After eons of constant struggle for survival and resources, miraculously the consciousness emerged. Our kind, of millions of distinct species is the sole avatar able to perceive just about every aspect our planet has to offer AND reflect on them and our own existence.
Tens of thousands of years of more struggle, each generation of our kin building on the teachings of generations past; from existing as specks roaming the face of the earth at the mercy of Mother Nature, to organizing as civilizations, and finally building robust systems that supply billions of people with necessities, give a voice to the people and escape serfdom and slavery (a process that’s still ongoing).
A quirk of our capitalist system is that it __allows for__ and __benefits from__ individuals like yourself who can work extraordinarily hard to create lots of value. And naturally, you are rewarded with the profound ability to DO ANYTHING YOU WANT, HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT, GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT (of the external aspects of your life). You have conquered all of existence.

You like climbing mountains. Imagine Everest but 1000 times higher. Imagine every living thing ever blindly climbing up with all their might, and their offspring spawns from their corpse when they die. Some fall. What you did was make it to the very PEAK of this impossibly, unimaginably large mountain of existence. You look out and you see nothing (because it’s so large, of course). Please, it’s okay to be confused. Don’t be scared. Take your time. You earned it. Don’t be upset that there’s nothing above for you to keep climbing. You have some options. Lay at the top forever (boring, lonely). Or, try to bring a few people up with you. Or, make it your mission to help as many people scale higher as possible. But what I think you might need, is to come back down - give up what you have or detach your self from the idea of being at the top. Much love brother, I think you are pretty cool. I would love to chat if you are down, I’ll send you an email.
You could easily search for the same report in a different news source.
This is something that resonates / I really strive for. Cutting corners / over simplifying intentionally to have a "working" (poor) usable step along the way, that you can then improve / fix and explain why you can't / shouldn't cut those corners. Not applicable to all tutorials, but I like this approach because it feels more like an exploratory learning experience rather than prescriptive instruction.
Except if it's ZBT like someone else said you should not be breaking cymbals that frequently, or even at all (hot debate in the drum community).

One good way to hit cymbals properly, especially crashes, is to have them not totally horizontal and making a "woosh" movement rather than a straight attack.

Another secret about drums in general is that, counterintuitively, hitting them hard often choke the sound rather than making it louder (all about projection).

And it's the best instrument there is ;)
> I feel this massive gravitational pull to go back to what we were doing before,” Van Kerkhove said. “There’s no way we should be going back.”

> “One of the big reasons we wanted to hold this conference is because we couldn’t meet in person during the pandemic,” said virologist Kei Sato of the University of Tokyo, an organizer

Maybe the "massive gravitational pull to what we were doing before" is just a natural equilibrium state. If we didn't behave this way we'd still be locked inside our homes fearing the virus. The fact that only 1000 people died from it in 2024 in the US is proof enough that this specific pandemic is over.
Good advice, and pretty standard setup I’d say, even for companies that are trying to build a community.

The one thing I wonder about is whether younger generations will use mailing lists. I never did and I’m already in my mid-30s.
The deep stupidity with which this subject has been met by political organizations and the broader populace has caused me to reexamine most of my expectations of "adult" behavior from both groups. In 50 years on this planet I've never been closer to losing the battle with nihilism.

I wonder how long that will be true, considering how difficult hosting your own server for your own domain is these days.
yeah, but you do have to think about parties that get out of hand

"this is why we can't have nice things," because of that small %
> But that's not my thought experiment at all.

Your claim was "if one could prove that the item which costs 25% more will last twice as long, then any rational actor would buy that one". But this is not true: a rational actor which can't afford 25% more will not care about the increased quality, they will rationally choose the shoddier good, fully knowing that it's going to break twice as fast. So yes, this is exactly your thought experiment.

> I strongly believe that they resort to irrational reasons when they don't have convincing rational ones. Again: if they don't know which one is better, they may as well take the one that looks better or that is cheaper or that their friends have. But if they could know, for sure, which one was a better deal?

It's an extremely well studied phenomenon that people don't behave like rational market actors. Unless you define "a better deal" as "the one they would be happiest with", in which case by definition anyone would prefer the "better deal".

But consider this case: some people end up caring for and loving old beat up cars that they struggle with every time they use, and that they spend inordinate amounts of money and time keeping working just one more month. Those cars objectively cost far more to maintain and have worse performance and worse externalities (pollution) than other cars they could buy. Most other people would not even buy such a car. But, again, some people love them and would not in a million years sell them to buy a "better" car. So how do we handle those people? I would call them irrational market actors. You could also call them rational market actors with a highly unexpected value function; in that case if "know for sure which one is a better deal" was specifically tailored to their unusual tastes, then you would be right, and we're just quibbling over definitions.
same. we probably encounter this type of thing every 100 or so years for centuries, just enough for the previous generation to die off and the new generation to make all the same dumb mistakes again.
I'm not missing anything, the problem is a lot of people using sloppy wording or mixing up the two modes.

This comment thread is about the guaranteed level of monotonicity. Yes, those bits exist. But you can't depend on them from something that only promises "UUIDv7". You need an additional promise that it's configured that way and actually using those bits to maintain monotonicity.
The fact that it’s a different word makes it very different situation. It’s not the capital letter that signals this. It’s the context. Polish as a verb and Polish as a noun won’t be mistaken in a sentence.
In “Polish my boots, please” we know it’s a verb, even though it starts with a capital letter. The capital letter does not ever signal meaning. That’s because a language is primarily spoken and there are no capital letters there.
Have you considered there were ulterior motives to getting people back to work besides health and safety? It's a power game
50 years ago corner stores in NYC sold playboy and penthouse (and cigarettes) to middle schoolers.

Mores and cultures shift and change.

As long as perspective is kept and the current generation is not 1000% sure that their way is the only way and all who have gone before were wicked and wrong...

Then it should be ok as things like this go in cycles.
> However, Amazon dot com is very aware of honey evidenced by advisory warnings on Amazon dot com website from a few years ago.

I missed this, do you have any more information on it?
The biggest takeaway is don’t lie to the public, no matter how moral you think you are being. Credibility of and trust in the scientific establishment has been ruined for an entire generation.

Telling people under 18 to get the vaccine or not attend school, or that vaccine immunity was somehow magically better than natural immunity were the two things that really turned me against it. And this is after I myself got the vaccine very early (March 21), because I trusted the science.

Now I have no trust in anything the government or any pharma company tells me anymore because it’s clear we have been lied to on several levels.
It's a company with shareholders. Also they don't even hide that they sell some information for ads targeting.

IRL interactions are just one aspect of life. Pretty important, sure, but it’s not the only important thing.
This group at JPL is the canonical source for solar system ephemeris, including planets and small bodies. The underlying models are numerically integrated equations of motion that I’m sure include all kinds of corrections, especially for bodies of great interest — such as Mars, or moons being considered for science visits.

I used to use the python package “jplephem” to support ephemeris queries, but I understand that SpiceyPy is a more modern replacement (https://github.com/AndrewAnnex/SpiceyPy). They all, I believe, use the same underlying sets of “spk” files containing coded ephemeris.
It’s fine if you don’t want features in your terminal, but telling people who do like having software that has features not to use an alternative just because “more features equals complexity equals security risk” in the way you’re doing it is pretty condescending.

Let’s not forget that basically every graphical IDE on the planet has an integrated terminal emulator, and for good reason

I’d have a smaller attack surface if I turned my computer off and did all my work for my employer with pen and paper. I’d have a smaller attack surface if I didn’t buy a Mac at all and only used a security-hardened distro.

And here you are acting like Apple is God’s gift to stability and security when every single fall season Apple’s major dot zero version updates ship with visible bugs all over the place.

And to nitpick you, the assumption that more than one person is actively working on the default macOS terminal is laughable. I doubt it even has a full time employee dedicating 100% of their time to it. The yearly release notes look like less than one person’s annual output of work.

I remember that thread on here where the person who worked on Rosetta 2 said it was a solo project for years until closer to release when the team expanded to around 10.
I think that goes for society as a whole. We should all be more emphatic and considerate. Especially around things like this - it's not the end of the world. Software is difficult and shit happens all of the time, give the maintainers a break...
OK, but what is the solution? To get a (or multiple) child(ren)? Make a "family" that you don't actually want just so you can have people who rely on your support? And what then when you use your millions to support and nourish your kids? Then you get to read on HN about how they are "nepo-babies who did nothing on their own and are worthless human beings".

The problem with this argument is that you end up in a scenario where an ISP makes an inadequately provisioned peering path (either through an IXP fabric or transit) to Netflix that just runs at saturation.

Customers still get plenty of bandwidth to everything else and Netflix effectively ends up capped. This happened with a major cable ISP and Netflix already.

You’ll quickly find out that “bandwidth the customers paid for” doesn’t mean nearly as much as you think it does because you can have excess in the last mile and terrible AS-to-AS connectivity.

PayPal Holdings Inc. made a big bet in November with its $4 billion acquisition of Honey, a web browser extension that helps online shoppers find the lowest prices. Now Amazon.com Inc. is warning customers not to use the tool.

Shortly before Christmas, Amazon said Honey posed a security risk, which was reported Thursday by Wired. The warning perplexed some online shopping experts since the tool has been available for several years and Amazon makes no similar warnings about other browser extensions such as price tracker camelcamelcamel.com.
Tail risk, basically. Amplified by cognitive biases that make horror stories more salient.
The catch, though, is that ambiguity between 'cymbal-maker' and 'bell-maker'. 'Zil's certainly existed before the surname existed, but what was a zil/zill? In English 'zill' still usually refers to something like a 'finger cymbal' or crotal, something with thicker bell-like walls and a bell-like sound and vibration. Unfortunately everything I've read about this is suggestive but maddeningly vague, for example p. 8 https://books.google.ie/books?redir_esc=y&id=Fl6Ie0_Rt8cC&q=... of the official history, Zildjian: A History of the Legendary Cymbal Makers by Jon Cohan (ISBN 9780793591558 ):

> Cymbals and bells had been made of bronze for centuries; the formula of eight parts of copper to two parts of tin was well known, but at some point Avedis stumbled upon a process of making a bronze alloy which held its strength and temper even when hammered and worked to a previously unimaginable thinness. The technique he discovered allowed cymbals to be made which had a distinct purity of tone that no other cymbal had ever achieved. The bronze alloy itself was no mystery, but the mixing process, the method of combining the metals in molten form to create the castings from which the cymbals was made, was a secret held only by Avedis. The resulting cymbals, said to contain traces of gold or silver, must have pleased the Sultan enough to commission Avedis to make cymbals for the Janissaries, the superior fighting forces of the Ottomans. The music of the Janissary bands relied profoundly on the striking of the cymbals, and Avedis became the official supplier to the Sultan.

Bells ring when you hit them, but cymbals have a thin bow which vibrates wildly and crashes when hit. It's a radically different sound, and apparently a radically different physical behaviour, though I don't understand the physics. So what I suspect happened was this: thick-walled, bell-like zils had long been manufactured in Constantinople, in various different sizes. But Avedis I's alloy turned out to be (again, I assume) the first (at least in the Middle East or Europe) to allow zils to be made thin enough to crash like a cymbal, not just ring like a bell. This is presumably what the talk about "distinct purity of tone that no other cymbal had ever achieved" actually refers to. Since making thin-bowed cymbals is apparently a very tricky procedure which involves subjecting the blank to high pressure and high temperature at the same time, it seems plausible that Avedis' accidental breakthrough in metallurgy was necessary to make this possible. (OTOH maybe his real breakthrough was in that cymbal-making process; maybe his special recipe for the blanks was in fact less necessary than he realised, even?) A leap from ringing bell-like zills to crashing cymbals would be the kind of thing which could be dramatic enough to get the sultan to notice and to hand out a title, a trade monopoly and a cash prize. If the crash was a new sound, it must have seemed absolutely otherworldly at the time. (However I don't know when China started making crashing cymbals, whether some crashing cymbals from China might have made it to Constantinople by the early 1600s, and so on.)
The response was truly insane.
This is macOS, not UNIX for bearded geezers. It’s literally an operating system meant to be easy to use for consumers, a.k.a. morons.

It’s also a very popular corporate deployments where most of your command line users are web application developers who are just doing a job because it pays good money. They have no philosophical attachment to traditionalist simplicity, perhaps compassion nonfor computing at all.

I don’t blame macOS users for liking the features of iTerm2.

At large, covid was never dangerous to children and (healthy) (non-senior) adults.

The fear of whole working populations becoming crippled and unable to work due to „long covid“ (mostly just good old PVFS/SEID/CFS) was quickly disproven.

Policies never reflected that, disproportionately harming the young mentally, physically and economically.

The damaged trust in governments and public health organisations was immense and on an irreparable level. Rightfully so, as for example in Austria, the stationary clerk store had to check my vaccination certificate before selling me a pen.

> The fact that only 1000 people died from it in 2024 in the US is proof enough that this specific pandemic is over.

I’m not sure if you got that number from the article, but if you did, that’s per week (but in the whole world, with 75% in the US):

> Figures from October 2024 showed at least 1000 people died from COVID-19 each week, 75% of them in the United States, and that’s relying only on data from the 34 countries that still report deaths to the World Health Organization (WHO)

Not debating whether or not it’s “over”, but if you’re going by that number, your number is about 40x off.
I've used iTerm2 for as long as I've known about it, which would be maybe 10 years?

I don't use much of the various SSH/mux features, 'cos I don't use multiple buffers, just multiple tabs.

I like the scrollback and the footer and the integration with the shell, don;t care about scrolling speed very much, and it's sort of the "ain't broke, so why change".

I'll take a look at ghostty, but not sure it gives me much.

As for this security issue, it's a bug, the author found it, fixed it, announced what it was, and how to ameliorate the effects of the issue.

He did that in a very reasonable timeframe and has been entirely open about it.

The pile-on of moralists and what appear to be purists (and possibly early stage devs if they think process is the answer) is sorta pathetic.

Thank you for sharing the mitata tool! I was looking for something like that(for my monorepo).

I was wondering if there is a tool that can profile nodejs code? I did find some options(most of them are web tools) but they dont seem to give out information as much as mitata about what and where my code is used more often although mitata is a benchmarking tool.

What profilers do you use? Thanks :)

Yep. I am not even rich. In fact compared to US software engineers I am making pennies, but I am hitting above average for where I live. And at times it is hard to find meaning in every day life. I like my job, but realistically I could quit now and just about coast with my savings for the rest of my life. On other hand I could increase my spending and live more luxurious life style, but that isn't for me. I just like to code, play video games, and be alone in peace and quiet.
