I have a somewhat similar use case. I do want it to go through my insta feed, specifically one account that breaks down statistical models in their reels, summarize the concepts and dump it to my Obsidian.
> If you went through multiple rounds it likely means they were seriously considering you but ultimately they didn’t get to a yes.
Sure, but one would think then the rejection email would have specifics around the interview and where the candidate did not perform well. Not nit picking on the job hops. If job hops were a deal breaker then why waste the candidate's time putting them through full rounds of interviews?
if you were an experienced/mature tech employee you should probably know that there are real HR reasons why companies are strongly advised not to give too much information in a rejection email. there is only ever downside. your reaction here is a potential red flag.
i'm sympathetic to you, it sucks, why cant we all be nice to each other, and my answer to that all is lawyers.
A friend of mine (in an entirely different industry) went through five rounds of interviews with a company and got passed over for someone internal.
A little while later, the same company reached out and encouraged him to apply again. Five rounds later, and he got passed over a second time.
Fast forward two years and they reached out to him a third time. He's basically convinced that because he's black he's their token DEI interview candidate to make them feel better about themselves while internally promoting the people they actually want, but of course they wouldn't actually say that.
It’s not about feeling better but likely that the company had a Rooney rule. Your friend was how they got around that while on paper complying to avoid internal political issues.
Ghostty is a terminal like iTerm. This compiles it so it runs in the browser directly, or browser-based environments like VS Code or the Hyper terminal. Without that you’d have to reimplement a whole terminal in JavaScript. Which is what people have been doing with via the xterm.js project. Naturally, there is effort and bugs that go into maintaining a clone/port like that. This lets you use the Ghostty terminal code directly - compiled to WebAssembly and with no other dependencies - as an API-compatible drop-in replacement
This runs in the browser, so it would allow you to connect to a server from your browser and render normal terminal commands in that environment
For instance if you're a cloud provider, and you want people to be able to "drop in a shell" on a machine, but make that available through the web, you could use this
That actually pretty much is the ELI5. Its merely a different terminal that offers more features than iTerm2 and also runs on OSX.
Unless you actually need/want those features (which, although I am a terminal aficionado, I must admit are niche as fuck), pick whichever terminal makes you happy. Features that are important to some people are performance, Unicode support, and OS support.
You could argue whether or not it's a "feature", but one of the thing ghostty claims as an advantage is the out of the box configuration.
With no config at all, ghostty looks nicer than my alacritty setup. The rendering is just real nice. I could probably get alacritty to look as nice or nicer, but ghostty just worked this way with no config needed.
So you could consider aesthetics and rendering quality, and simplicity of setup both as features, which people may need/want (or not).
I wouldn't argue against that at all: OOBE is absolutely a feature.
Problem is, we don't all agree with what the OOBE should be. I, for example, always strip out menus, tabs, and other UI features. For me, the terminal that requires the least lines in the config file is probably going to be the winner (assuming no unfixable defects that effect me).
I also have ton of questions. Hopefully the author can add more documentation to ghostty. Right now I don't fully understand the use cases or how people may benefit from ghostty.
I have been using Foqos app since a month now and it’s been amazing on my iPhone. You can create a block list of apps and when you start “Foqos” those apps will be blocked. You have to unblock before using those apps. But here is the best part. The unblocking can be configured such that it does only when you tap on a NFC tag. I spend a lot of time on the phone as soon as I wake up. So I have been blocking before sleep and keeping the NFC tag in the garage. Amazing setup for me.
This app I assume is exactly like the more mainstream Brick app but this app lets you configure any off the shelf NFC tags which you can get under $5.
Custom feeds really intrigue me. If I understand the API right, if you are an implementer of a custom feed, you need to expose an endpoint that the bluesky server can hit whenever a user wants to load content for that custom feed. And the endpoint that you implement will return the results. Does this mean that the implementer of this feed will have to take into account the network costs? What I am trying to get at is that if you implement a custom feed, you need to be aware that you are potentially looking at hitting your data caps on your internet provider if a lot of folks start consuming that feed. Do I understand this right?
I am aware that there are services that let you create custom feeds. But they are mostly for simple compositions like a feed for the following set of words and/or set of people, etc.
I think the user has to mentally tune out the bad websites that significantly use fillers -- most "news" sites. AI summary is definitely time saved for such websites.
Well written articles deserve to be long form and not summarized as you note. But the large majority of web articles belong to the former category.
