As an aside, I love ghostty and I think it's the most responsive terminal emulator around. But kitty was what got me off Terminal.app and I think it's not given enough love around here.

It’s such a frustrating experience on both ends—I use macOS for most of my work because I like the hardware it ships on, but it is so annoying to not be able to, like, use a different window manager (hacky accessibility API systems notwithstanding).

On the other hand I’ve probably burnt weeks troubleshooting and configuring different compositors/window managers on Arch (and STILL don’t have the setup of my dreams), so it’s frustrating on that end too.

> Your free trial starts when the frontend receives the first connection from your IPv4 range.

If you do not register and we are unable to find usable contact information for you, then your customers will experience service disruption trying to access sites through this frontend.

But as a website owner using this service I would just want it to work regardless of whether the users ISP is playing ball with Netiter. And there’s the coordination problem with the IPv6 transition in a nutshell I guess.

Also, “Netiter have allocated bandwidth for free trials until the end of 2014,” so I suppose this doesn’t work anymore anyway.

In part this is possible because mathlib is very well-designed and has a very good API (in no small part because they’re willing to make breaking changes all the time), so building on top of it makes life much easier.

And it’s this kind of thing that stops mass adoption. When you fuel an ICE car, the pump just delivers fuel and that’s that. The price of fuel is prominently advertised and the experience is the same no matter the station.

Charging on the other hand is an exercise in frustration. Charging stations have different advertised power delivery rates; often they can’t meet those rates (is it the charging station? Is it your car? No way to know!); pricing is opaque; charging can stop seemingly at random .. and then you get levied the penalty congestion rate for using a charging station.

My parents asked me if they should get an EV. I advised a conventional hybrid. They are too old to have the patience to deal with all this.

Especially in the context of the flux and night shift, which are intended to help people with the opposite problem (who want to sleep sooner rather than stay awake later), it’s an important distinction.

Mary := 24 = 2(A - Δ)

A = Mary - Δ

And then it’s just substitution. But of course what appeals to one’s intuition is very personal

Not really a promising tell for a writing skill, IMO.

> The last time I had seriously dabbled with exploits and low-level recovery was when I spent months trying to revive a bricked M1 Max MacBook Pro. Several companies and repair shops had told me that getting through the problem was impossible, but after months of working at it, I finally got the machine running again on New Year’s Day 2024.

If the author is here would you please write up that story? I would also have thought it an impossible task so I’m fascinated by how you did it.

But this year they replaced their previously obviously-English-as-second-language-but-informative descriptions with just total slop that say absolutely nothing at all about the rice you’re buying. Every description is just platitudes about how good the rice is.

So as in TFA we get people who seemingly can’t resist “pressing the button” and getting nice shiny results even if they aren’t, like, good. It’s nuts. FWIW I emailed the rice shop and politely asked them to revert to the old descriptions but received no reply.
