The article text and tone sounds like an April Fool's article published sooner than it should have.

My last comment on this: it is not "one URL" or "just configuration pages", it is an entire application, it does not have distinct "pages" that can be replaced with something written in a different programming language.

You can always take a look at the UI of a PAN device and use your browser in developer mode to see how it works and understand the concept of a web application.

I don’t think you ever went through something like this ever.

It is a huge effort even migrating from one PHP framework to another.

Coming back to your point, there is no single “page” to be migrated one at a time.

When discussing programming languages, you need to take into consideration how easy it is to find developers with experience on a certain language.

Sure, you can do web apps in Perl with Catalyst or other frameworks, but the PHP developers are easier to find.

And then, after you develop entire GUIs in a language, it is a herculean effort to port that to another.

And lastly, JavaScript has its own issues too.

> giving migratory workers no choice but to stay illegally

Are you serious? The choice for them was to go back to their home countries.

It is not a terminal multiplexer feature, it is one of the terminal software itself.

I do not know if you read my initial commment, but MacOS Terminal (native app) has this feature. And it is not a terminal multiplexer like tmux or what you proposed.

We are not perfect as human beings, and we can’t expect AI, which is modeled after us to be perfect too. This fear of AI is irrational.

The argument here is that AI can run permutations faster than any human can. And, feeding it a company’s proprietary data about what worked, what did not, how it worked and so on can be invaluable at accelerating the discovery process of new drugs.

Plus, it can work 24/7/365.

I am not interested in workarounds.

To add a little bit to your comment, the US invented the term "enemy combatant" to evade the Geneva Convention rules about prisoners of war. And it also gave itself the right to designate whoever it wants as an enemy combatant.

You have the law, you have precedent, best not to get on the naughty list.

Any plans for Ghostty to have the history of the terminal window reloaded on restart? Like the Mac native terminal app does? I am a heavy terminal user with a lot of tabs open, and after I restart the computer for whatever reason, I would like to have my terminal(s) as I left them.

We might not like how it fixes it.

This will never fly. Some devices can be used for tens of years and they may face vulnerabilities that the hardware cannot support any kind of software fix for them. Imagine the world moves to TLS2 or whatever something new will be called and the hardware you have is too slow for it.

On the other hand, saying an industrial device should receive security updates for 10-15 years instead 5 or whatever happens this days it will be a major step forward. This will incentivise vendors to use better hardware with room to grow, not just the cheapest components possible.

Or, make componente modular so that you can upgrade just the control unit instead of the whole fridge or whatever.

My belief is that is more about convenience than anything else.

It is also worth looking at why this is so, which most likely stems from the lack of technically inclined staff in every location and the cost of having a tech going from store to store everyday to deal with POS, back office computers, amd any other kind of device.

Now, can you secure all this? For the most part yes, but it is quite expensive to do it. Maybe they will do it now or they will go with “it cannot happen to us twice” thinking and not do anything substantial about it.

Thank you for the very documented response.

I understand the deportation to their own countries, but deporting US citizens to random countries is something else. Not to mention all the court drama of proving you’re actually a citizen.

> Some US citizens have been deported.

Where were they deported to?
