I wonder if there are any fungi that would make that list?

This is a fantastic idea! I’m working on a terminal emulator. It’s not big like Ghostty but this is something I might adopt

Because paper is naturally pale. So it would have been silly for people to colour them black. And because monitors are giant light bulbs. So a large white background is harder on the eyes than black.

> the current de-facto standard is set by xterm. That’s true for 256 colour and various other escape codes too. But I wouldn’t say it’s true for 16 colour pallet.

Quite a few terminal emulators do this already. Including the one I maintain.

Graphical applications are great if your workflow mirrors the workflow that the GUI was designed for. However if your workflow differs then you’ll often be fighting the GUI. Think of it like different types of programming languages. Some ar

I know 16 colours is limiting, but one of my biggest pet peeves is CLI / TUI developers creating their own custom themes using colours outside of that because odds are, they’re going to generate a colour scheme that is harder to read f

A CEO saying “please”, regardless of how it’s spelt, is itself an anomaly ;)

The purpose of this appears to be for sites that cannot be controlled via prompt instructions alone. I do like agent skills, but I’m really not convinced by the hype that they make MCP redundant.

The brand isn’t the one doing the business. It’s the 3rd party who we’ve already established is unscrupulous. So why should they care about the brand value?

Why wouldn’t these non-EU then just sell the goods in those countries? It would mean they turn a cost (destroying) into revenue (sales). It’s not like there isn’t already a massive industry selling counterfeit goods. So in your hypothetical

But nothing has changed there. People have been posting intelligent-sounding gibberish on social media and blogs for years before LLMs. The problem with centralisation isn’t that it gobbles up data. It’s that it allows those weights to be

Readline is one of the oldest libraries available on modern systems. So old that Charm, the framework featured in this article, is written in a programming language that was decades away from conception back when readline was first released

> It's a thing that confuses every single person the first time they touch a terminal! I get that. But it doesn’t mean those that prefer the terminal have Stockholm Syndrome. The terminal is a UI optimised for keyboard entry. So of

People are just lazy. It’s got nothing to do with LLMs having more trust because they’re a machine because most people would happily trust their friend over an expert. They’d trust the first blog post they find online over an expert. Most p

Because it shows the company has processes in place for economic planning, with budget allocation, and all the other systems and checks that are meant to ensure stability and profitability. That’s not to say that businesses with these proce

There are obviously going to be exceptions. Every rules has that. Hear why I said “usually a sign” rather than “it’s a guarantee with out any exceptions”. But to take your startup example, they generally short on base salary with the hope t

As a hiring manager who’s worked at various different scales of organisation, I think the original article is a fair warning. Headcount doesn’t take 2+ years to resolve. Even in heavily bureaucratic organisations, it’s a few months at worst

Being told you have to wait until the next pay review cycle, is normal. It’s how a business with healthy and defined processes should operate. But you should only be waiting at most a year. If you get told “wait 2+ years” then that’s usuall

Not all of those systems will be running from the same hardware controllers.

That’s a very specific gripe to make. So specific that you have to acknowledge it’s not going to be a deal breaker for everyone. Which makes me wonder why you’d use the “Stockholm Syndrome” argument — assuming you used it in good faith and

There’s no reason why you can’t have both. Well behaved CLI tools have for years already been changing their UX depending on whether STDOUT is a TTY or a pipe.

Is this getting traction? The front page of HN and some meta-debate is a pretty low bar for what I’d consider traction if I were a one of the richest companies on Earth.

Not all gamers are techies though. Some of my gaming buddies on Discord needed help getting that properly working. Asking them to set up and use both IRC and Mumble would be a step too far. This is a common trap HN falls into. Stuff that’s

Except the reason for Discords initial success, and the literal only reason I have it installed, is for voice chat when playing certain online games. I love IRC, I even wrote my own IRC client in the 90s, but it’s clearly not going to be

Yeah. Which any normal person would take to mean “all technologies in software engineering” because talking about any other unrelated field would just be silly.

That’s some epic goal post shifting going on there!! We’re talking about software algorithms. Chemical and biomedical engineering are entirely different fields. As are psychology, gardening, and morris dancing

Except it's not. Traditional algorithms are well understood because they're deterministic formulas. We know what the output is if we know the input. The surprises that happen with traditional algorithms are when they're appli
