And maybe it's dangerous for one to think they're doing engineering when in reality they're doing craft work.

For Firefox, I think that disabling the telemetry and the studies is not going to help Mozilla improve the browser.

IIUC, contactless payment via apple pay does have a secondary card number of sorts that's linked to your original card.

I once accidentally paid for AppleCare with apple pay (a mistake), so when at some point I switched phones I had to get new secondary card numbers tied to my physical cards. The old secondaries went away when I wiped my old phone, so AppleCare was no longer able to draw the monthly payment. The number in the invoice was likewise not the original physical card number, but some other number.

Whether the secondary numbers are easier or impossible to track is certainly a question, but I believe there's always a number.

Yes, correct! If you check out https://ghostty.org/docs/config/reference, the iPreviousCursor is available, so it can be used against the iCurrentCursor to produce a fading effect. But I think the entire previous framebuffer isn't there (yet).

It can only apply shader(s) to the current frame I think. To produce the crt ghosting you'd probably need access to the previous frame (not an expert).

Hey! I was using CLIPS in my network management PhD work, but life happened and I was absorbed by my profession. Maybe one day I'll dig up the half finished material and continue, who knows.

CLIPS is one of those definitely underrated gems, many many thanks for what you are doing!

Fortunately it's not like StackOverflow has been used as training data for LLMs, right?

If you feel more comfortable with Python for the task at hand, why not use it?

That's good and it's actually the Perl way, Perl was always about helping getting stuff done.
