TUI is peak UI, anyone who disagrees just don't get it. Every program listens to the same keybindings, looks the same and are composable to work together. You don't get that clicking buttons with the mouse. It's built to get the work done not look pretty.

After a while you learn to be specific ' -a' (with space) or '-a,', but this requires that you know what you're looking for. Also n/N is easier to jump between matches than /<Enter>, one less keypress.

Another useful trick is filtering with &, &/-a will narrow it down, but you won't know about the sub-commands if there are many matches. I just tried &/hidden on rg and fd and it takes me straight to `-., --hidden` for rg and `-H, --hidden` for fd. And &/case shows all options related to case-sensitivity with the descriptions. Once you get the intuition for it it's not that bad.

Manuals are not perfect but I don't think I would want an AI. I'm frustrated enough when I don't find a flag the LLM insists is supposed to be there and it gaslights me even though I'm telling the stupid thing I have the manual open.


> What's so nefarious about clean air and water?

Nothing, but what puts me off is the sale of emission rights etc. Is it a problem or not? I care more about deforestation than a warming climate. There is always some product to buy behind the headlines and it drives me crazy.

The same people asking me to pay climate taxes are trying to tell me infinite growth can exist. I already live like a hermit and if everyone lived like me we wouldn't have a problem. We can't pay our way out of the problem and anyone who tells me we can is only out to make money.

I'm not against a clean planet, I'm against the politicians and businesses finding another way to extract money from their worker bees.


> Some people get excited by the "latest and greatest"

I'm going to get down-voted for this, but doesn't this describe Apples' target audience? Every year big live streamed events showing the "latest and greatest".


> "Dont trust google" imo is the wrong response here.

Straw man. The argument is that by installing random extensions you trust anonymous developers *because* Google doesn't audit. I'll cite the parent to spare you the effort of reading it again:

> The Chrome Web Store is basically unregulated and Google doesn't care.

Yes, I trust the contents of the medicine I buy at the drug store more than I trust the drug dealer on the corner. That's why they hand out test kits for free at raves.


Debian stable. If you need something to be on the bleeding edge install it from backports or build from source. But keep most of your system boring and stable. It has worked fine for me for years.


As long as you do regulary updates of your debian stable, you are not secured against supply chain attacks.


I don't think you understand Debian. There's a new release every 2 years. A few months before every release there's the so called package freeze on the testing branch. The version the packages are on at that point that's the version they will have for the next stable release. Between releases the only updates are security updates.

Do you mean I should worry about the fixed CVEs that are announced and fixed for every other distribution at the same time? Is that the supply-chain attack you're referring to?


Please elaborate, what's so complicated about it?


Cool, but I wonder how many of those the website call developers are actual developers writing production code vs managers who believe they wrote the next big thing.

It would be interesting to try to dig deeper and categorize the comments. Not everyone on HN is a developer.


Thank you, much appreciated.

Of course, not everyone who appears on HN's front page is an experienced developer, and I'm not a statistician. I should note that the data underwent filtering and ideally it didn't count the managers' fluff.

This task is inherently impractical, even with comments, nobody should care about averages. If you want the real experts' opinion, go to the experts. https://youtu.be/-0MD3Jn60fw?t=130

I hope people understand that it's a meme website lol.


Does this apply to creators that aren't even in the Apple ecosystem or is it only for the patreons paying through the iOS app? What if everyone moved to the website?


> Just about everything I'd want to do in a startup appears illegal or otherwise infeasible in the EU because of the morass of data and AI and energy regulations.

Sounds like you're doing some shady, disgusting bullshit or you're exaggerating the regulations. I hope it's the latter.


i understand it from a neutral perspective.

building a simple business in south east asia is drastically easier. there are effectively no privacy laws, no class action lawsuits (a big US problem not EU), no gdpr, energy is cheaper, no punitive labour courts, much looser zoning laws. almost no restrictions on international trade, no withholding taxes, no major issues with transfer pricing, no capital gains taxes, relaxed packaging laws. of course, there are different challenges.

When you go from an open market to EU mode it is insanely stressful having to suddenly deal with these enormous regulatory regimes that simply dont exist anywhere else, and to figure out how to deal with them. this stress is an energy cost, which becomes a capital cost, which makes it much more difficult for small businesses to be created. I also find supranational regulatory regimes difficult to understand, unlike other parts of the world where each country has its own law and thats it. I think its generally a good thing for the people who live there though!

when i am driving around in ASEAN i don't look at my speed. in EU i am anxiously making sure i am 1km/h below the limit to avoid a fine in the mail.


ok bro I think you might want come down off your high horse and mingle amongst the people again


I'm on a high horse because I like that the EU tries to regulate big tech? I wish they went further and actually enforced it. Some of you seem to live in a parallel universe.

Elaborate what's so bad about the EU instead of assuming who I am or how I live. I'm criticizing your ideas, not your person. Make some effort and do the same, "bro". Don't be such a stereotype.
