And of course there are now several responses proving your point.

Unfortunately the browser still can't make the kind of network connection needed to transport a terminal session to a remote computer natively. afaik all the tunneling solutions are pretty clunky/insecure.

Have you looked into VibeTunnel? I got the terminal working in my browser and it runs on my computer. I can access it on my phone since we’re on the same Tailscale network. I use Ghostty-Web and tried to switch to Wterm but it didn’t work. I think it’s because Ghostty-Web renders a canvas and wterm normal div tags.

Yeah ChromeOS has the same problem. They have a Javascript-native terminal emulator, and a wasm (formerly PNaCL) implementation of open-ssh. But they have to use ChromeOS specific browser extensions in order to allow native TCP connections to port 22 from wasm, and Google only gives themselves this privilege, not any random dev like us.

I'm curious to see if this weird stack gets ported to the Googlebooks or if they just make a mouse-friendly Android app instead.


It doesn't take much to support a WSS to Telnet/SSH bridge or directly hosting a PTTY shell... for that matter, you can leverage path/querystring to include signed credentials (like a JWT) as part of the path statement for the underlying connection.

There's even some decent options to bridge further the other way, from a terminal to wss back to a terminal based, server hosted, application.


What do you mean - WebTransport can do a lot...

Lot but not enough still. Most web tech is like that, almost there but not really. Webaudio prob being the worst one. Webgpu being weird thing that nobody really knows who it is for.

It is however how most software testing is done.

"Most" is a gross exaggeration.

Canada also supplies the US with most of its comedians.

First mover advantage.

At the time, Liverpool and Manchester were proper cities, and while smaller towns, the railway that opened five years before this one that connected Stockton and Darlington clearly operated a similar model of moving goods and passengers.

So I’d argue that they were moving first!


It's literally a field in your database. I could never fathom why this needs to be an outsourced service never mind an entire company.

It can get complicated quickly if you're actually using it in a production system. At my prev enterprise saas company we had feature flags that could be turned on per customer / per environment (dev, staging, prod) with permission + logging model such that our support team could also toggle flags with history of who turned on what. We also had "per user" feature flags for certain test users at companies and had DSL rules to evaluate the features

when started, yes. but then you want segment (how you segment your user), rollout strategy, etc.. it will get complicated fast

Thank you! I've never understood why this needs to be an external dependency with network requests.

Unless you're on sqlite, the database is still an external dependency with network requests

Booleans as a Service

Transparent Aluminum

Oh we have that too, it's used as high end window armor in some armored vehicles, it's called AlON (Aluminum OxyNitride).

It's amazing stuff.


Also [synthetic] sapphire [1] is just aluminium oxide.

Cheap.

What is expensive in nuclear energy? Reason there is not more of nuclear reactors is not the cost, it is regulation. Regulation can be changed (it also seem to already have, recently, IIRC - starting 2024 NRC law changes by Biden admin and later by Trump admin)

Reason there is not more of nuclear reactors is not the cost, it is regulation.

The reason for regulation is that failure is not an option --- unless you're willing to accept the cost of making a big chunk of a state uninhabitable for a very long time.

How much would failure cost? The Chernobyl exclusion zone is over 1000 square miles --- about half the size of Delaware. And it is expected to remain uninhabitable for the next 20,000 years.

Also, the Russian Academy of Sciences estimates that up to 1 million people may suffer premature death as a result of radiation exposure and contamination from the event.

In the long run, renewable energy is a lot cheaper.


Same as bitcoin then.

Never seen that once.

Same but I have seen it try and change my tests because it decided that it’s code was correct and my tests were incorrect.

I saw it’s thinking tokens said something along the lines of “I have implemented it correctly but the test is failing. I’ll update the tests so the pipeline passes”
