That's because in Canada you actually prepared for the transition, instead of just proclaiming it in a tweet.

Re "stage 2: persistent sessions", iTerm2 already does this. The PTYs are owned by background processes independent of the GUI application. So iTerm2 can upgrade the application without interrupting the running terminal sessions.

I did sort of the opposite of this by buying a real VT100 on eBay, restoring it to working order, and mounting a Raspberry Pi Zero W inside it that emulates a PDP-11. So instead of an emulated terminal with a real computer, it’s a real te

The example of Seattle Police dashcam and body camera footage may be interesting. When those things were relatively new, ten years ago or so, someone started filing daily public records requests for footage from all 911 dispatches (among

Of course it makes sense. 30% of this population will die of heart disease. You don’t want to be at the median of that population if you can avoid it. And as a society we need to move the median, not just accept it. Which means giving p

You may have missed the stat that 30% of the population that’s the median of will die of heart disease. You don’t want to be at the median.

Of course we don’t know. But regarding this specific example, bear in mind that Apple is in vastly better shape as a business than it was in 1999. So if that argument didn’t work on him then, it doesn’t seem implausible that it wouldn’t w

I think they're saying this crate is why Rust is experiencing a TUI revolution. Charm would probably say the same for Go.

I am very concerned about the long term effects of people developing the habit of mistrusting things just because they’re written in coherent English and longer than a tweet. (Which seems to be the criterion for “sounds like an LLM wrote it

Yesterday I tried something similar with a website (Go backend) that was doing a complex query/filter and showing the wrong results. I just described the problem to Claude Code, told it how to run psql, and gave it an authenticated coo

Doing select on tasks doesn’t really make sense semantically in the first place. Tasks are already getting polled by the executor. The purpose of select is to run some set of futures the executor doesn’t know about, until the first one of t

There is one: tasks. But having the lower level (futures) available makes it very tempting to use it, both for performance and because the code is simpler (at least, it looks simpler). Some things that are easy with select! would be clunk

That post is 7 years old and JLC has changed a lot since then. It would be interesting to hear his current impressions (presumably they're still doing competitive comparisons).

I wish "cancellation" wasn't used for both of those. It seems to obfuscate understanding quite a bit. We should call them "dropped" and "abandoned" or something.

It's hard to answer the question because of unclear terminology (tasks vs. futures). There are ways to do structured concurrency in Rust, but they are for tasks, not futures. There's not really a concept of "active futures&qu

Based on what I see in the world, I suspect one reason is that a <div> makes it easier to apply some bizarro appearance to the button, so it not only doesn’t act like a button, it doesn’t even look like a button.

Oh man, I have literally done that to my parents’ remote controls. Actually more controls, because they still watch VHS tapes. But I have to admit it never occurred to me to do that to their software. Logic Pro has a “masking tape” mode. If

I don’t understand the math here. The average per calendar day didn’t go down, so the total drinking is the same. That total is distributed among the drinking days, which are also the same. So how can the drinks per drinking day have change

Every time I see one of these comment threads it seems like uv desperately needs a better home page that doesn’t start with a long list of technical stuff. It’s really simple to use, in fact so simple that it confuses people! The home page

For some reason this post refers to duct tape (or the brand of it called Duck Tape) as “Duktape”, which was confusing because Duktape is actually the name of a JavaScript runtime engine!

Yes, that’s what I meant, stated more clearly. The contract is spelling out behavior that both sides agree up front that they consider a violation of the law, so you can’t claim that you didn’t think you were breaching the contract because

If it was simply an agreement that the recipient won’t violate Federal law, it wouldn’t need to be stated (how could the intention be otherwise?). So I read it as an agreement to an interpretation that doing those things would violate t
