Unless you have x-forwarding (and an X server running locally) or VNC you can't really use a graphical browser remotely yes?

This lets you use it from plain SSH connection?

I do want shell history with folders.

I tried a few (Atuin? McFly?) but the performance wasn't good with my massive zsh history (going back several years).

Zsh+fzf does a buttery smooth job (no folders though, unfortunately). Other tools start to stutter at scale.

Yeah. That is a sore point.

It has overridden a 4000 year old strategy board game played by millions (mostly Asians).

A friend and his wife _almost_ fell victim to this last year, in Texas.

I think it is a standard script now. Call comes from police department. 'Your son hit a pregnant woman. He is about to be booked. You need to pay $$$$ yada yada'. With an authentic sounding voice conversation from their son.

In spite of several red flags (in hindsight) they withdrew $15K from bank, and somehow at the last minute pulled back.

Edit: Scammers know how to push the right buttons.

That made me laugh.

This thread is enumerating all the same talking points of both sides.

I use cmux. Has anyone used both and offer some comparison?

That ship has sailed boss.

I don't think you can avoid those much longer.

Yes! When you order a washing machine (I did couple months ago), everything was included. Somebody brought it, lugged it up 3 stairs, fixed it all up and took the old one back.

They even rebated $100 because it got scuffed during installation :-)

This is an important point for me. I am too lazy (too much executive dysfunction) to research products. I trust Costco to do the product research and offer us a good quality/price match up.

Return policy is also pain free. You can pretty much return anything you don't like. Just take it back.

They used to have amazingly generous return policy for electronics. Since some people abused it, bit tighter now.

Yep. Realized that as soon as I looked at the product page :-)

Nice!

Does anyone know anything like this for Ghostty?

> Give a cursory answer

That may be enough in some cases.

Sometimes people are not looking for fully fleshed out high-effort answers. They want a pointer (to documentation, or a repo) to get going from someone more experienced.

Google search may throw up too much information and it is hard to make a choice. A one sentence answer from an expert may be enough to set them on the right path.

Thats the rub. I have an M4 with 48G. I wonder if it is worth testing this out.

My past attempts (with Ollama and various LLMs) were too slow to use.

Converted all the tabs to spaces? :-)

You are right, this is not a rewrite like the Bun case.

The real news is, at 50M LOC, it is able to handle and do _something_ coherent.

If it is a one-off task, it doesn't matter if you use GUI or Terminal commands to do it. But more than once, terminal starts paying off IMO.

Here are some advantages.

  - It is repeatable, you can do the same exact thing you did before. With ZSH history + FZF, recalling a command is a breeze.

  - Auditability. The command in your shell history is there for you to revisit and servers as a permanent record of something you did (or didn't do).

  - A command line doesn't make a mistake at 10th time, due to fatigue, inattention etc.

  - Reusability. You may have to repeat the same command for different folders (or remote servers). A slight modification of the previous command will do it for you.

I am currently trying something called ShortCat, this is not just for the browser but works in other Mac applications too!

Look Ma, No mouse !

Vimium extension does that. Works well too. Works on Chrome and Firefox.

Perl has powerful regular expressions, but it only goes so far. Doing multiline/nested structured parsing is too painful.

Perl6/Raku has built in grammers that can do that idiomatically.

If you have a couple minutes, give this a glance. It will give you an idea.

I am no expert in haskell either. But parsec is similar in concept.

I noticed that too. Unless you _ask_ for a script, they throw away the scripts they write.

They are particularly bad at complex multiline parsing. Writing all sorts of weird/crude python/awk scripts and getting confused in the process.

I wish they would use Perl6/Grammer or Haskell/Parsec or similar and write better parsing scripts.
