A (flaky test) exposed a (Redis client) use-after-free [bug]

Unclear what CCR and CCA are. Any (ex) Hubbers able to shed light?

I read that as “playing computer games feels like work” rather than “getting games running feels like work”.

Yeah it looks like it needs to be assembled and written any time the kernel file's position on disk changes (`current_lba`), or different kernel cmdline is required.

I seem to remember having to do something similar with lilo… not hand-editing assembly, but running a command to rewrite the boot sector when the kernel moves on disk.

There's a menubar UI that appears while the camera is in use, to control the digital zoom and pan/tilt; zooming all the way out to “0.5x” shows the extent that can be potentially in-frame.

Anecdotally, the auto-tracking Center Stage feature is more distracting than useful, and best turned off.

Assuming what's "actually important to you" remains fixed as you age. The article suggests otherwise, with caveats:

I run tmux in iTerm2 on macOS; tmux is my window-manager of choice for terminal applications; shells, nvim, etc. I usually have 2–10 tmux “windows” (more like tabs) with 2–4 split panes in each (more like tiled windows). I generally never detach from my local tmux session.

Most things I use and love tmux for could probably be done with iTerm2 tabs and splits, or a modern text editor and its terminal integrations.

But, I can use tmux in iTerm2 or Terminal.app or Kitty or Gnome Terminal or urxvt, on macOS or Linux or FreeBSD and it works the same everywhere. Perhaps that's a key feature; decoupling your “terminal window manager” or “terminal desktop environment” from your terminal emulator (I guess that's like the X server in this analogy).

Also, tmux feels more keyboard-native… I can do everything from the keyboard, including navigating scrollbacks, finding/selecting/copying/pasting text, etc. Again, you can probably achieve at least 90% of this using a richly-featured terminal emulator like iTerm2, but tmux does it well, and it's portable.

Also, tmux feels more Unix… it has config files that can be git-managed, it has man pages, it is scriptable from bash/anything, etc.

That easy scriptability leads to some nice integrations, like I can configure key bindings in nvim that run commands (e.g. the test I have open) in a tmux split alongside nvim. Again, that's nothing that things like VS Code can't do too with their built-in terminal emulators etc. But it's nice.

(Despite loving tmux and iTerm2, the one thing I don't like is iTerm2's native tmux integration, where it uses tmux as the “engine” but replaces the UI with OS-native windows/splits etc. It's technically impressive, but mostly negates all the reasons I run tmux inside iTerm2 in the first place)
