wrong thread?

the staging url wasn't shared, but the published page references the staging url as the canonical url so HN automatically updated the submitted url to that. that reference is what you need to fix.

If I sleep a windows desktop is that more than just a cache? yes, so basically what i meant here is that a cache just stores data, but it doesn't store the whole application. this is significant in that i can shut down an application

curious, what happened, and what did you learn? if they merge something blindly, then it's really on them if it makes a mess.

teardowns of companies I liked how do you do that? how do you get the details about the company for that? i look at company websites, i usually only find marketing stuff but not really anything useful to tell me what's inside.

how do you find out about the problems though? i haven't come across anything like that on linkedin. and if it is not there, then i wouldn't even know where else to look. their website? their blog? people/companies generally

i am not offended by swearwords, i am annoyed by them. it makes absolutely no sense to me to use a term that suggests sexual intercourse to describe anything else but that act. likewise it makes no sense that someone is told to have said se

would you really have an answer? actually, yes i would. ok, to be fair, i have been sailing, so i learned a thing or two about knots, but i am also the inquisitive type that questions why things are the way they are. (your typical HN read

so effectively you already had an audience? how long did you write the blog? how did you popularize it?

yes, i believe that's very true. the challenge now is for me to figure out what the best places are to be visible on. programming language forums are good when they are growing and there is more demand than can be satisfied. i was in a

my bank specifically asked me a bunch of questions that they claimed they needed to send to the US. it wasn't just a checkbox that i am not a citizen. it's more complicated than that. non-citizens could have tax obligations to the

worse they are requiring this data on behalf of the US to assert that they have no obligation to pay US taxes.

of course it is just an easy fix. it's the kind of solution that even someone like me could write who has no understanding of the code a all. (i am not trying to imply that the submitter of the PR doesn't understand the code, just

damn, just reading this and the parent comment makes me furious. this is why i refuse to use AI tools and keep advocating against them. how could anyone think that the summary of a specification can replace the specification itself? that ma

On one hand you don't want a second channel to send the graphics instructions, but on the other you don't want to use in-band escape sequences correct. the in-band sequences are dangerous and unwieldy. they don't convey eno

common "profit center" processes how do i find what those are? i see the point, but i don't find developing for one specific tool very appealing.

The struggle with being self-taught is that you don’t know what you don’t know. yes, but he knew. i mean he should have known that he used stuff without knowing why. i am mostly self taught too, and i agree with your statement, but i don&

yes, i can write a program that takes data and displays it nicely. but in order to use graphics i need a second channel to send the graphic instructions, for x11, wayland or even MacOS or wndows. at that point i have two interfaces, the ter

hmm, actually, you got a point there. emacs could be the like that graphical terminal, except for now it is still stuck inside a traditional terminal itself. even the GUI version of it is mostly just looking like a terminal, not really taki

oh, that's good to know. thanks.

you are not wrong. but browsers haven't been able to replace terminals yet. we would need a browser that an interface with the commandline. incidentally ttyphoon is a terminal that uses a browser base gui framework. maybe there is that

right, envision that we get tmux working in that new terminal (and that's already happening, just look at tmux -CC), then it can be there for all the backwards compatibility stuff while modern apps and maybe a new modern multiplexer wo

i am not conflating them, the problem is rather that the current terminals define or restrict what the shell can do. shells are being rewritten already. b they could not do what i want them to do without the terminals changing too, so the t

that looks pretty good, except i want to be able to use the pipes on a remote machine, yet still have the output graphically represented locally.

X11 or any network transparent graphics protocol doesn't solve the problems that a terminal solves. how do you pipe data through multiple applications in one command using a GUI for example? nobody has been able to solve that in a prac

that's actually not what i am after. what i envision is a graphical terminal, that is a terminal that uses graphic elements to display the output. consider something like grep on multiple files. it should produce a list of lines found.

Unix just provides no good way to write one that can be used remotely well that's the issue, isn't it? the graphics options that we have are slow and complex, and they don't solve the problems like a terminal and therefore

seems they removed the dangers, but didn't provide an alternative to write safe terminal apps.

i think part of the problem is the archaic interface that is needed to enable feature rich terminal apps. what we really want is a modern terminal API that does not rely on in-band command sequences. that is we want terminals that can be pr
