Hi @schmichael ;) Rust would've prevented one. The rest Rust wouldn't have prevented since as you already noticed, it was in the boundary layer and semantics of a C API. It would've only been as safe as the Rust wrapper. One

For any startup that actually reaches a sizable liquidity event of any form, it's very common. As background: I cofounded a startup that made a lot of people millionaires. QSBS really helped a lot of people. Yeah, if you're going

OSUOSL and Lance specifically (the writer of this post) was extremely supportive of me during the early days of Vagrant and Packer. Lance tried many times to try to find a way for OSUOSL to help my projects but I don't think we ever fo

Kitty is a great terminal and Kovid does excellent work. I have a ton of respect for him. Ghostty (disclaimer: I’m the creator) could also be and I appreciate anyone who thinks so. There doesn’t have to be a winner/loser mentality! The

Sorry to be a broken record but I have no “proposal” whatsoever. It’s more of an information sharing and seeking discussion. I don’t know what I want yet except that I think we can do better. The end result could be that it’s all a terrible

I believe it could. A shell could reduce capability by default for all executed shell scripts (file or inline on the prompt) and require opt in to not do this. Something akin to a umask of sorts. It’d break exceedingly few real scripts. (Ha

Just cross posting my lobsters post: I want to say thanks to @dgl for reporting this, and this article is also expertly written. I also have to say for me personally its quite embarrassing because as I told @dgl when he reported this: I’ve

These benchmarks are all flawed. You can't measure input latency properly without a camera (or pixel access to the screen but then have to be careful it's not impacting your benchmark). The latency benchmark is just testing VT IO

We do a full redraw but do damage tracking ("dirty tracking" for us) on the cell state so we only rebuild the GPU state that changed. The CPU time to rebuild a frame is way more expensive than the mostly non-existent GPU time to r

We rely on the OS to tell us when we're obscured, and macOS will only tell us if the window is fully obscured (1 pixel showing is not obscured).

In some cases yes. In this case, in my opinion it can be strictly wrong. The GPU requirements of a terminal are _minuscule_ even under heavy load. We're not building AAA games here, we're building a thing that draws a text grid. T

You can get pixel perfect bitmap fonts by using their TrueType conversions and using fractional point font sizes. There are dozens of bitmap enthusiasts that were in the beta and they're totally convinced because well... it's pixe

This isn't a company, I'm not trying to convince you to use it, this is more of a personal art project. If that doesn't vibe with you that's completely fine. You're happy to not use it. I'm happy whether you us

We've got native tabs and splits on both macOS and Linux. :) WezTerm has tabs but they're not native UI elements.

I am! I think I heard about it through you somehow, actually. And then I kept getting PRs from people I respected with weird branch names and thought "what the hell is going on" and both of these things pushed me to look into it.

When people find out I use jj (Jujutsu), I often get asked some version of "how's it better than Git?" And while I can list a number of reasons why I think it's better and you could argue whether or not that reason is co

It is an accurate description. The mach ports are waited on through kqueue, and I use kqueue for all other waiters with "standard" fds (i.e. files). But my usage of mach ports (even for a partial use case) make it incompatible wit

Hi, this is my project. The README only states that I use kqueue on macOS, but I don't claim it is specific or originated from macOS. I've read the README over a few times and can't find where you'd get the feeling that

This pattern is effectively how Vagrant (for anyone who remembers that) always worked, also in Ruby! I even gave a talk on it at MountainWest RubyConf back somewhere around 2013, although I compared it moreso to a "middleware" pat
