“Change” is just the state altering. It can be the producers and it can also be the consumers that alter that state. The GP might be elitist with their view but it’s still just as valid opinion as the others shared.

Not "implies", just "more commonly refers to". Both usages (graphical and CLI) of the term are correct. Saying "shell" doesn't by itself imply one or the other, even if the technology that is more commonly

Not really no. I’ve been using shells and authoring new ones for around 40 years across a variety of platforms. The term has always been pretty loosely defined because as technology evolved the term “shell” was borrowed. So like I said, a s

You’re just reiterating what I said

No. A shell is any user interface. Windows shell is explorer.exe and it used to be possible to change that via a config line in a system INI file. SSH protocol also isn’t just for CLI work. It supports file transport (eg SFTP), TCP/IP

Is it just the younger generation? I’ve seen all generations favour their phone over a laptop for anything that needs to be done online. Which is basically everything.

But if you aren’t technical and everything is done online, then it’s easier for non-techies to do it on their phone.

That’s the entire point of why people use a smartphone as their primary device: they don’t want the hassle of having to use a computer. And for normal people (ie not the readership of HN), using a computer is a chore.

Yeah same here. It has the competitiveness of games like Civ, The Settlers and so on. But with the world building aspects of games like Sim City. There aren’t many other games that strike this balance as well. I first started playing the or

Normally I’d be the first to argue for cultural diversity. However I don’t know of any culture that would consider masturbation an appropriate theme for a tech demo. Even the articles on here that are very specifically about adult content (

I’m one of those people. And what we do is write actual software for fun rather than pretend software in a computer game. If I wanted logic flow embedded in a game then I’d want it in an environment that’s far removed from traditional progr

I’m one of those top commenters who used to be a K8 naysayer. I’m also definitely not young blood. The reason my position has changed is because: 1. The tooling has gotten better for setting up and managing K8. 2. In two of the last 3 jobs

Are you sure they’re not? They’re multi-region, but that doesn’t mean they’re running across multiple hosts in each region. Docker compose doesn’t support pooling multiple hosts, so if they are running multiple hosts per region then there’s

> thousands of monitoring checks per minute That isn’t a lot. You could easily run that from one host. The reason people reach for Kubernetes (and similar) is because they need to scale past that single host dependency.

It already can and it’s a big problem in recruitment. But for PRs I suspect it isn’t a big concern because this filter is to weed out PR spam from people who want to invest time in the project.

How much of that is due to the git CLI and how much of that is inherent flaws with the git VCS? I know git (the VCS) can become a bottleneck with massive monorepos at the scale of Linux or Microsoft. But is anyone likely to port them to som

We don’t know if it’s inventing problems or solving them. That’s the point.

I have absolutely no idea what this offers that makes it better than git (or any over VCS for that matter) for agents. There’s some mention about performance, which is great, but the performance of git isn’t a bottleneck for agents. There’s

While you’re not wrong in principle. It’s still the least worst in the vast majority of cases. I think the bigger problem is using your pw manager for 2FA too.

What makes you think he downloaded a pre-compiled binary? The link article doesn’t explicitly say that’s what happened. It just says he downloaded software from GitHub. Which might well have been the source code that he then compiled.

“Good” code makes trade offs. While readability is an important constraint, it’s far from being the only constraint. And there are plenty of occasions where objectively better code is subjectively harder to read because other constraints tr
