Yes, it's good! And I have a lot of sympathy for what I perceive to be Stahl's goals, and indeed, his methods. But I think I need an intercessor or interpreter to his prose style. This is probably a me problem and not a him problem, to be maximally fair.
The obsequity loop is fucking maddening. I can't prompt it away in all circumstances. I would also argue that as annoying as some of us find it, it is a big part of the reason for the success of the chat modality of these tools.
Yep, I do this in a tmux session. But sometimes I'm on a call and forget and the ROBOT VOICE says "DATABASE DUMP IS COMPLETE" and I jump out of my skin.
It is, sadly; we're a very small team and we don't have a lot of cycles to spare on onboarding, so the fewer new things a hire needs to learn the better. It's not ideal! But it's an age and stage thing rn.
I'd be happy to, but there aren't any 8K TVs at 55" or smaller. I want the pixels, but I'm not going to put a 65" TV on my damn desk -- I have two 27" 4k now, and it's ... fine, I guess? but I want a 42" 8k running at 2x.
I played some games with QuickTime when I was at Apple, loved the format, even loved the stack, as creaky as it was in (gasp) 2004. The idea that the file can carry tracks that the given reader might not understand allowed me to, for instance, put codec metadata back into intermediates that would otherwise be lost, for PQ analysis purposes.
Also, PS2 mouses and keyboards have physically identical but electrically incompatible connectors, which is like a precursor of the nightmare that is USB. ADB is positively magic in comparison.
I have long wanted something that was basically a modern~ish Smalltalk environment, that spends more energy integrating with the rest of the world. Emacs is as close as we can get to a system that is inspectable, plastic, and open; I want those qualities in my entire computing environment, and there is literally nothing available for any price better than Emacs at this, but Emacs isn't good at it.
