Just wait until they rewrite Swift with Rust.

We’ll be reading about the crimes of dodge for years, similar to secrets of the CIA coming out in the 1970s. Wish politicians in US weren’t so spineless about going after them.

> Ghostty's pure reusable terminal state machine being a source of truth

Can you please explain what this means? I have Ghostty installed just as a backup to use when I have terminal saturation in my default (MacOS Terminal). But other than being super responsive, I don’t know why people love it so. Perhaps I’m missing something large and compelling.

> "Cover" only makes sense if you're using it exclusively, but most CNE enablement work in NATO is done by NATO firms.

Cover is behaving horribly out in the open and having half of US politicians run cover for you by demonizing your detractors as anti-Semitic. The US has been shielding them for decades, though not exclusively. That time is waning.

I always wondered why Windows users didn't notice the jagged text in 2001 and see a Mac as obviously better. You don't know what you aren't missing until it's gone.

What interesting timing. I'll be meeting with a friend to resume a collaboration tomorrow after an extended break. I decided to test your software against one of our tracks, with which I am, of course, intimately familiar. The quality of the output is pretty great.

I slowed to half and then three-quarters and I could see us using this creatively for some time-based effects (my mind is already combining it with traditionally plugins and hand-built signal chains to massage the output creatively). It'll take some work, but I think we might find uses for this by combining the DAW and the command line. Very nice!

Rarely am I so envious of another’s idea. This makes me jealous. I wish I’d thought of it, even though I’ve never used the original and I’d never use it after it became what it has become.

Read the first two quotes and responses. You weren’t as unambiguous as you think you were.

I ride BART. I'm two blocks from a busy transfer station. It's great for going to a show and getting home without driving (drunk).

Arguing that modern fare gates lowered crime is a pretty terrible response to the comment to which you responded. It shows a real lack of articulation ("crime bad, crime down here, therefore I don't need to refute what you said").

The original poster said:

> The guy that committed that murder wasn't going to be deterred by a ticket fee.

I don't see how lower crime on BART due to fewer people hopping the turnstiles refutes that at all. (Huh, I just learned turnstiles is spelled with an I and not a Y. At least your comment led to me learning something.) It just seems defeatist, which is what the people looting this country want.

Why shouldn't we have exactly the ambitions you're using as an argument against change? I support all of those proposals. The richest nation in history could do all of that easily if there was the will to do so.

If giving away free public services could be grifted to increase the bottom line of the ultra wealthy, we'd have a utopian society.

They specifically argued that they are an entertainment broadcaster in court defending Tucker’s show.

Yeah, ok… Not for me.

I will take a moment to remind everyone that the people who don’t care about our future argue in bad faith (because their voters are genuinely stupid):

> Cruz, R-Texas, said in a tweet late Wednesday that by returning America to the multinational climate accord, Biden has indicated that he is more interested "in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh."

Did he misunderstand? This is from an AI summary from Google, but I recall his education being roughly this well before AI was in my search results:

> Cruz attended Princeton University, graduating with a B.A. in public policy (cum laude) in 1992. He then attended Harvard Law School, earning his Juris Doctor (magna cum laude) in 1995, where he served as a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review.

He’s not stupid. Many of them are not stupid (Marjorie Taylor Greene genuinely is). They cynically manipulate the stupids to the detriment of us all. Must be cool to think heaven is about to make it not matter (rapture), meanwhile the whole population of the world is effed due to lying liars holding us back and stupid voters who probably can’t read at an eighth grade level.

Let me dust off this evergreen comment I use at times like this…

> Worth noting, Patriot Front had a huge leak of data in 2022 (400GB).
