> Might be $TERM needs to be set or you need to add ghostty to terminfo

Yeah, except that the specific terminfo needed for ghostty isn't installed anywhere on the boxes you ssh into ... you need to manually install it on every single one of them.

That in and of itself makes it truly painful to switch to ghostty.

And there are still a lot of other issues, like e.g. building the tip is a freaking nightmare of dependencies and weird issues (hard reliance on specific versions of the zig compiler and of something called "blueprint compiler", etc...)

Not ready for prime time by a mile IMO.

I'm not sure how the fact that it's complicated to compile makes it unready for prime time.

As for $TERM, you can simply default it to `xterm-256color` which is more than enough

Sadly, I came back to using VS Code recently. There's a lot to like in Zed but imo that decision to write their own rendering framework is unfortunate, because of ridiculous problems in Linux still not resolved like poor font rendering, especially on low-DPI screens, or visible lags of UI which is being developed to be blazingly fast. So far, VS Code is faster for me.

Remember that Zed hasn't reached 1.0. On other platform, it is much faster and consume much less battery. Just like ghostty, to me the most attracting feature is knowing my editor/term is not backed by a browser engine.

But for the intrusive one you have the visibility into its membership in the other structures, since you're holding a reference to the object and its intrusive fields.

In the non-intrusive case, all you know is how you got there, you don't have return info to the other structures— particularly annoying if you're trying to destroy an object and have to speculatively look for references to it in the other lists in order to get rid of them.

Of course. But I wouldn’t qualify "multi-container use" to be an advantage of intrusive data structures per se.

You add multiple next variables. buffer.next, buffer.next_displayed, etc

That's not an advantage of intrusive data structures then. That's precisely an advantage of non-intrusive data structure : object can be inserted in an arbitrary number of containers

There are several advantages to intrusive node-based data structures that I haven't seen stated in the article or the comments:

- the same object can move between containers with no allocation and no need for a dedicated complex API

- the same object can be part of multiple containers at once; particularly useful for intrusive binary trees, for indexing data with different criteria.

- the container can be fully polymorphic, no need for all elements to be the same dynamic type.

- no need for complex allocators, you can just store the objects as you see fit.

> the same object can be part of multiple containers at once

I'm not sure I understand this one. Since the object contains the reference to where it belongs inside a container (e.g. object.node.next) how can it be re-used in multiple containers. Conversely, in a non-intrusive data structure, multiple containers can hold a ref to the same object through an intermediate node object

Those memes and videos should only be coming from pages that you follow and groups that you're in.

I don't understand where your comment comes from, to be honest. I use Facebook a decent amount, and every single post in my feed comes from a page that I follow, a group that I'm in, or a friend.

I think the issue is when your friend Bob shares something from a page that you don't follow. People seem to blame Facebook for showing you irrelevant content, rather than blaming their friend Bob for sharing it. People share things on Facebook with the intent for you to see it. If you don't like it, then block the page Bob shared from. If Bob does a lot of sharing, then either unfriend him entirely, or at least unfollow so his crap stops showing up in your feed.

This is absolutely untrue. My feed literally only displays suggested content from page I'm not following (with a small "join" CTA above the page name). Most of these are garbage content I'm not interested into and not shared by my friends
paraboul commented on Release Notes for Ghostty 1.1.0   ghostty.org/docs/install/... · Posted by u/ksec
laserbeam · 7 months ago
It's new. It's led by a star dev. It has sane defaults. It's written in a new programming language, so devs can learn from it if they're interested in the language (there are only a handful production ready projects written in zig so far).

I'm also sticking to kitty, 'cause I use some of the more funky features. But if I were to recommend a terminal to a newbie, I would recommend ghostty as it really cares about having a good default experience.

paraboul · 7 months ago
Agreed. Ghostty has become my goto Zig reference.

This is part of the web DNA. Pages linking pages and being aware about it. Origin can still disable it.

It's an important truth that walking a mile in a high population density area puts you at a higher crime risk than walking a mile in a medium or low population density area.
paraboul · a year ago
Not really, since your chance of being a victim is divided by the number of people in the area.
