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!
Our future technological improvement hinges on basic research. We can certainly iterate and improve technology, but the amount of improvement is always bound to hit a physical limit sooner or later. Doing basic research will actually move the physical limit.
Deep respect to the CloudABI folks, a project which inspired the WASI ideas:
> CloudABI is no longer being maintained. It was an awesome experiment, but it never got enough traction to be sustainable. If you like the idea behind CloudABI, please consider looking into the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI). WASI's design has been inspired by CloudABI.
At this point the signal to noise ratio on Mastodon is amazingly good. Who would have thought that just displaying the timeline would be so refreshing.
