Not disagreeing but scrolling works just fine in vim/emacs/etc. Wouldn't it be just managing the scroll back buffer yourself rather than the terminals?

The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

You are implying that a law is being broken, but isn't this the equivalent of going to city hall to pull public land records?

You asserted that bugs are hard if you write unit tests. The parent stated that some issues only occur under production load and a unit test will not catch it. Nowhere was it implied that unit tests are useless.

Perhaps a less defensive posture might invite more discussion.

You’re actually not in agreement, because “AI first” would imply it being a core feature of the IDE/Editor, something like Zed, whereas a plugin would imply that I can ignore it and it not being a core part of said IDE/Editor.

What is the current state of crystal toolchain? Last time I used it I really enjoyed the language but the compilation times were a bit of a turn off.

Mosh is indeed glorious, esp when tethering over a spotty mobile connection. I just wish they would support gpg forwarding, otherwise chefskiss.

Seems to me that if I already own an Android device and am in the market for a tablet, I would probably choose Android again because a lot of the apps that I have bought & paid for include a tablet version as well. Not sure if most would consider that anti-competitive.

Doesn't really seem like a platform issue per se since your friends could have easily included you just fine, but chose not to.

I think that’s probably the reason for why they are not talking about it and focusing on specs instead, they know.

What war are you referring to, and what hipsters? As someone who used tables extensively for layout at the time, there was never any war against it, just a desire for better layout via CSS which is what we have today (flexbox, grid).

Calling it a war against tables for actual tabular data is a bit over the top.

This resonates with me. I have a few zeros, 3’s and 4’s for random things (nerves projects, dns, bastion host etc) but the price point now puts it squarely in the “I better have a good use case for this” rather than “I want to tinker around and if it ends up in a drawer no big deal” camp.

I’m not sure of the mission specifics here but my understanding is that the novelty was the landing maneuver which puts the lander within 100m of its designated target. From that POV you could definitely argue success.

This has become my go-to stack for playing around with for the last few months. Go/sqlite(bun)/templ/htmx with a sprinkle of proto-actors. Feels pretty close to phoenix framework with a few helper functions honestly but with the benefit of incredibly fast compilation of Go.

Single binary for distribution with assets/migrations embedded. Still need to build something substantial so I am sure there are edge cases/rough edges but so far it feels like a breath of fresh air compared to nodejs ecosystem.
