can you tell how the headline is crafted to make feel the aquisition is a bad thing?

I think this is where Array Databases shine, like https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB

What a waste of time

On: Tesla reports another Robotaxi crash

[perrohunter]

I'm so tired of this guy being so misleading, I used to read this blog because he had tesla news, now all he tries to do is hate on tesla

[panarky → perrohunter]

Better to spell out exactly what you think is misleading than to go for the ad hominem.

On: Zmx: Session Persistence for Terminal Processes

[perrohunter]

I want this, but with the window switcher from tmux

[bananapub → perrohunter]

if you want anything other than "switch to another full terminal window, no splits, no status bar" then you want tmux or screen or zellij - this tool and the others like it are explicitly avoiding becoming (nested) terminal emulators like tmux and screen and zellij.

at least I think it would be possible to do "switch to another full terminal window, no splits, no status bar" without being a terminal emulator, I haven't tried.

I want to add a `zmx switch` command to detach+reattach to another session. Still thinking through the impl.

Where is the GIL in this?

[eru → perrohunter]

You only need the GIL in the first place, when you are doing multi-threading.

Python only got its own GIL in version 1.5 of CPython.

On: AWS is 10x slower than a dedicated server for the same price [video]

[perrohunter]

I suspect Hetzner has the latest CPU generation and AWS is giving you something they bought 10+ years ago, so it wouldn't be a fair comparisson unless he selects something that guarantees the CPU generation

On: Unison 1.0

[perrohunter]

about time that gets a 1.0 release

On: Dear Tesla Shareholder [pdf]

[perrohunter]

I was thinking the same thing, a lot of people have an interest in Tesla failing, no surprise here

[belter → perrohunter]

Revenue is flat last three years, profits halved, margins crushed and there will be no profits without the EV credit...Valuation still priced like 2021...

Meme stock...

You forgot "CEO is pushing for massive raise".

This is the sad reality of Open Source, in principle it is a great and noble idea, however you quickly find out that most of your "community" is users demanding fixes and features while contributing nothing, and then there's the enterprise, taking your product and making money out of it but giving you nothing in return.
