Dude. I'm so old I have actually used a VT100. I actually used a teletype for a few minutes for the heck of it. No punch cards, though.

I'm pretty clear on what a terminal emulator is. I've probably used one more days than not over my more than half century.

My point was: **We're totally ditching github!!** - and yet their website still links only to source on github.

Huh. What's Ghostly?

* Clcik docs -> https://ghostty.org/docs

Nope.

Yes. We should all be our own FDA, EPA, and OSHA. That worked *really well* in the past.

Yeah. I wish that were true. Trump was elected by a majority. And his current support numbers are still around 38%.

It turns out the number of idiots if really high. And the ones running the country and enforcing the 'laws' include a lot of 'em.

I would much rather go nearly anywhere in Europe.

I think this is the plan. Get the government contracts, then ownership, and make US citizens foot the bill for surveillance that will definitely be used against them. There really isn't anything more they can do with such limited thinking when it comes to algorithm. Tech Bros are trying to make their sci-fi dreams a reality. They are such idiots, maybe skilled in business grifting, those sci-fi futures written about are nightmares and the heroes typically dismantle them.

From their site:
"drive up to 40 miles per day completely off the grid".

Even half that would cover all my driving needs for our 2nd car (2 person/2 car family).

Am I the only one that find "times as cheap" annoying? I really want it to be 1/3 the cost. Meh.

I'm also curious how many cycles it's good for when compared to other battery tech.

News at 11. Again. I mean... really, this time for sure.

Is that really true? Many of the layoffs I've seen over the past year have been legitimately "removing layers", purging loads of fat in middle management.

Companies constantly go through cycles where they stretch to a very vertical structure with a manager for every three employees (exaggerating, but only slightly), and then there's the periodic flattening where they prune it out.

I will not be making a phone this year either. Maybe never.

I don't need a full slashdot story, though.

Actually had this conversation recently.

ios has pluggable keyboards. Why not have pluggable AI?

Every library/tool writer:

ChatGPT, write concise useful documentation for this tool/library.

Writing any docs (good or bad) used to take time. Writing any docs no longer really does. And if it's not already good at it, it'll probably continue to get better.

What is the lead time between a book being popular and it being made into a movie?

With a 5 year copyright, no author would ever be paid for their book becoming a movie. A year for it to be clear it's popular. A year to think about making a movie. 3 years to make the movie. It comes out 5 years and a day after publication and doesn't owe the author a cent.

And all the other edges for things that get rolled into other things.

That doesn't work for me. Does it really work for you?

So 5 years is too short.

5 years is too little. 95 years is too much. There is a happier medium.

But I'm excited that *anything* is making its way. I honestly did not think anything was going to age into the public domain in my lifetime. I'm hopeful that the fact the world does not end when these things go public domain may mean we might even get a shorter term some day.

I have to think that there were a few other steps between #1 seller of robotic vacuums and chapter 11. Maybe even 10 chapters :-)

Guh. How long until my 'bot is a brick.
