imgcat[1] is one of my favorite terminal innovations as of late. I thought I'd take a long shot and see if it worked since that functionality seems like it would be simple for a browser-engine-based terminal to handle, but sadly no-go. I smell pull request. [1] https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-images.html

Gate One (web-based terminal) has had this functionality for years: https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne/ Just 'cat someimage.jpeg' or 'cat someimage.png' and it'll display it right there in the terminal. Works great if I do say so myself (I wrote it =).

I couldn't get this to work reliably. The tty messed with cr and lf characters unpredictably. I'm curious if you found a way around this issue.

Clearly not. HyperTerm is a portmanteau of the underlying tech.

a large trunk or suitcase, typically made of stiff leather and opening into two equal parts.

Just an idea: The only windowed applications I use are a terminal (st), my text editor (Atom), and a browser (Firefox). Suppose I switched to HyperTerm, Atom, and Chromium. I would have three copies of the Chromium renderer and V8 interpreter loaded in memory. Is there a project that merges these things into a single daemon, to improve individual app startup time, save memory, and reduce the binary size from 42 MB (f…

This is something I wish more effort was being put into. As more and more apps become V8-based, with each shipping completely separated, I wish there was some way to have them share resources. I know there are a lot of issues with this (different Node versions, possibly security, and figuring out inter-app resource sharing), but it would be magnificent for my computer's battery life. Does anyone know of any work being done on this front or a possible implementation?

You missed the next one:

>consisting of or combining two or more separable aspects or qualities.

I recommend the Wikipedia article [0] as well. Here is a snippet:

>A portmanteau (Listeni/pɔːrtˈmæntoʊ/, /ˌpɔːrtmænˈtoʊ/; plural portmanteaus or portmanteaux /-ˈtoʊz/) or portmanteau word is a linguistic blend of words,[1] in which parts of multiple words, or their phones (sounds), and their meanings are combined into a new word.[1][2][3] The word "portmanteau" comes from the French for overcoat stand (porte manteau), where many coats may be placed on top of coats that are already on the stand, which continues to function as a coat stand.

>A portmanteau word fuses both the sounds and the meanings of its components, as in smog, coined by blending smoke and fog,[2][4] or motel, from motor and hotel.[5] In linguistics, a portmanteau is defined as a single morph that represents two or more morphemes.[6][7][8][9]

HyperTerm appears to be a Hypertext Markup Language Terminal.

Before UNIX was ported to the PC, I used a DOS program called Crosstalk Communicator. Today it's so easy to run a small UNIX kernel on a PC. Why would "industrial control areas" still be using Windows, if what they need is terminal emulation? Tradition? Windows-only software? Windows on a networked computer sounds like a potential security hazard in such places. Maybe they can get the domain name through UDRP.

32 bit windows XP was an RTOS. This is one of the reasons so many people where reluctant to leave it.

Windows CE can be a RTOS. XP is not.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838350(v=winembed...

"Is Windows XP Embedded a real-time OS? Windows XP Embedded satisfies the vast majority of performance requirements. However, if you require a more powerful real-time support for your Windows XP Embedded OS, you can utilize one of the real-time extensions that are available through third-party vendors."

There are apparently third-party real-time extensions available, but if that counts then the existence of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT makes Linux a RTOS and I think that'd be a pretty silly claim too.

This doesn't appear to be a commercial product, so there could be no trademark violation.

That's not how trademarks work.

15 U.S. Code § 1125 [0]:

    ...
    (3) Exclusions The following shall not be actionable as dilution by blurring or dilution by tarnishment under this subsection:
    
      (A) Any fair use, including a nominative or descriptive fair use, or facilitation of such fair use, of a famous mark by another person other than as a designation of source for the person’s own goods or services, including use in connection with    —

        (i) advertising or promotion that permits consumers to compare goods or services; or
        
        (ii) identifying and parodying, criticizing, or commenting upon the famous mark owner or the goods or services of the famous mark owner.

      (B) All forms of news reporting and news commentary.

     *(C) Any noncommercial use of a mark.*
    ...
Do you know of another section, subsection, or other that would validate your claim?

On mac, slack uses macgap, not electron.

Was this a recent change? Because electron's homepage[0] still shows that Slack was built on it. [0]: http://electron.atom.io/

On windows (and I guess on linux) they use electron.

These comments really make me ashamed of the HN community.

I appreciate that the HN community doesn't feel the need to sugar coat something that is obviously bullshit. If you don't want people to critique your work, don't post it on discussion forums.

Just because you specifically are okay with receiving harsh criticism doesn't mean that everyone is, or should be.

That's exactly how it ought to work. I hope this gets noticed despite you being so heavily down-voted (and flagged... wtf?). I'd like to see it get properly refuted if it's not true.
