Can you elaborate on the network effect piece? Curious about that
Same effect as a country club. You know a lot about the person you’re talking to just based on their presence.
I really wish people would mention their stack when they have these curl install scripts. I'd rather use a real package manager, but I'm not totally against installing a compiled binary this way. I am, 100%, not going to install some Java/Type-script nightmare like this though. How is it resolving the dependencies? Is it installing some version of node, bun... on my machine? How's that working with other versions I h…

the name makes it seem like it only delivers bad news
It’s not really their fault. It’s just the world we live in.

And in the GitHub release page they include compiled binaries anyway... Why would you advertise `curl | bash` as a way to install if there's a binary available?! Download it, put it wherever you like (probably `~/.local/bin/`) and you're good to use it. Sometimes I truly wonder...

Asked a dear friend in the finance industry what he thought about Bloomberg. He's the type of guy who uses these systems daily. Mostly paraphrasing: 1) Bloomberg was lightyears ahead of anything else in the pre-internet days, so there's a lot of UI familiarity. 2) Bloomberg's chat is important because, as a hedge fund or investment bank, the chat is how you buy and sell bonds. You agree to the trade in the chat, then…
I've heard the same thing about Bloomberg's chat many years ago. Since everyone you're chatting to also has to fork over ~$30k/yr to use it, there's the implicit assumption that you're talking to a serious person.

I find it interesting that nobody from the finance community is directly speaking about their experience in this thread. What's the equivalent of hacker news for financial folk?
I have never used bloomberg but my understanding is it has history, network effects and great data.
The data is ultimately the problem with any project like this. Data is not cheap for personal use. For redistribution in a commercial product, it is really a huge bottleneck to get anything off the ground.
This just looks like the standard , useless, retail trading software IMO.

> The source is prominently linked: https://github.com/gloom-sh/gloomberb This is how I found out it's a javascript project and didn't install it. I only even bothered to do that because I actually wanted to try it. I'm just saying it would be awesome to have that right there next to the curl command. > Around 40% of Linux CLI tools are written in interpreted languages. And I prefer not to use those.

I think the point was that even Bash is interpreted.
