Wow, that "We're hiring/Career Page" link is geeksmaxxing. First time seeing `ssh superlogical.jobs` would be a way to show job descriptions in terminal!
Better be using ghostty ;)

#322This doesn't seem like a niche that isn't filled. Am I missing out on something by still just using iTerm2 and tmux?
I don't get it either. What's wrong with Terminal and tmux, screen or what have you?
I don't get the whole GPU rendering thing for ghostty either. Its a terminal emulator. It shows plain text. Why would I need GPU acceleration? I never felt "yeah, this terminal needs faster rendering".
Maybe I'm just an idiot

#323Meta, won't comment on the site, won't click. I'm fed up with this category of click baity titles that are designed to be enigmatic rather than informative. The guideline do not mention this, apart maybe from: If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link. I'd prefer HN if we made it a habit to editorialize such titles consisting solely of a Dom…
The actual header on the page is > We are building the multiplexer for all work. imo this would have been a better way to do the HN submission title (with or without [terminal]) > Superlogical: We are building the [terminal] multiplexer for all work
I clicked on the link and read the page, but I still don't have the faintest idea what a "multiplexer for all work" is, or why I want one. The more I read about it, the less I understand about it. Guess I'm not the target audience. At least I know that now, after several minutes of reading and head-scratching.
I almost get tmux -- although I still don't understand why it's better than simply opening multiple terminal window instances like I've always done in Windows -- but I'm struggling to see how the concept of terminal multiplexing applies elsewhere.

> If their AI finished it, where's the release? `bun upgrade --canary`. You can use it today. Keeping a large release, like a total rewrite, on canary for a while to iron out bugs is a very reasonable software engineering practice.
> Keeping a large release, like a total rewrite, on canary for a while to iron out bugs is a very reasonable software engineering practice. I love reasonable engineering practices, like throwing out your entire codebase and rewriting it in a whole ass different language :)
letting AI do what it's good at, while constraining the overall system to follow the right practices, is like the ideal combo
are you a software engineer?

#325Mother of all bikesheds, but... I didn't know I needed a mobile site with a scrollbar until now. Apple take note!
Re: Superlogical
#326This reminds me somewhat of OLE, COM, DCOM, ActiveX, ... [1]. You can paste an Excel chart into a Word document and if you update the data in Excel, the chart in Word will update. You can edit the chart in Word using the Excel UI because you are essentially running an Excel instance inside of Word. You can interact with Excel through an API, no need for a human. But it is painful, you can probably imagine the kind of…
They can at least deliver baseline value, because it's all text-based. Do agree that it'll become more complex, when/if they decide to create custom protocols.
Re: Superlogical
#327Good thesis. Bad form.

Devs again thinking "work" is interchangeable with software engineering.

I haven't tried Orca but as a herdr user and by way of analogy, it seems Orca is like VSCode and herdr is like Sublime Text.
As someone who has never used sublime I don’t get the analogy, but what do you like about herdr? Is it worth using? I came across it along with hunk at the same time and I’ve been using hunk a bit but didn’t really see the appeal of herdr over just my usual batch of terminal windows.
Herdr is my daily driver. It is lightweight and snappy while also being customisable (hence the Sublime Text analogy). I like that, while it supports tmux-style shortcuts, you can also use the mouse, so the learning curve is very gentle. In addition it's cross platform (Mac/Linux/Win) which is great for me because I needed something I can use on different machines.

At least there's no history of security issues with that.
Can you explain how the COM/ActiveX security history applies here?
I had a similar wincing reaction to the expressed idea of wanting to converge output, control, and interaction under a terminal muxer in today's wacky world.
But that's because today's world is forcing us towards overwhelming risk management and compliance systems like NIST 800-53 and friends. If anything, these mechanisms are being drawn, quartered, and spread to the opposite corners of the Earth.
Control via configuration management systems with configuration drift detection etc. Outputs and diagnostics via monitoring, logging, audit, and accountability systems. Authorization systems with extreme least privilege, draconian rules for privileged role assumption. Interaction removed from the entire operations plane, so it only exists in some application domain concepts as a sort of ship in a bottle, which eventually perversely recurses into the same mindset for domains with interesting content and user roles.
Lots of access path restrictions intentionally limiting which usage scenario is available in which combination to which user type from which locale with which client device.
So the idea of flexible and convenient fusion of many different IO and control paths into a portable and remotely attachable terminal UX seems like the complete antithesis..?

He thinks ability to vote (and the number of votes you get) should be based on income. https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/business/article/shopify-...
Maybe worth mentioning that the founding fathers in the US believed only property owners should vote.
It's important to consider context when talking about people's moral positions over time.
We don't judge the founding fathers' morals by the same metrics we judge our contemporaries. That much should be obvious.
