I'd argue Taylor Swift has done it too, and to a less mainstream degree Trent Reznor who has kept his career rolling along forever.

A core audience who will buy what ever you sell is key, and also not being afraid to change your style from album to album

It's not always about getting there "faster". I regularly encounter trucks with unsecured loads, drivers visibly weaving, and other dangerous situations. I'm certainly not going to die on some "well this is the speed limit" hill behind them.

Driving isn't some binary situation, you have to constantly predict erratic behavior and react to your surroundings.

No, you ideally want all the jobs to be good. With the old model it was clear what the floor for getting something delivered was. Target could have instead adjusted order minimums or shrunk delivery zones instead.

Gamifying peoples livelihood is the problem.

No one is stopping you from still having a JSON API if your hypothetical use case requires it.

The Accept header is there for a reason

I use tmux basically the same way but prefer tmux sessions because I find tabs hard to navigate reliably.

With tmux I can assign a name to each session, list all sessions, and have keyboard shortcuts to take me to a specific session or create it if it doesn't already exist. <leader>+J always opens projectfoo, <leader>+K projectbar, etc.

With tabs you need to know which tab contains what and what order everything is in.

It means that google doesn't have to aquire-hire your team, they can just poach all of them wholesale.

Doesn't California already ban non competes? The industry has seemingly thrived there and I've never heard of it being a problem.

The argument about parsing twice doesn't seem very good to me. Vim and emacs are also parsing keystrokes, should we abandon them too?

The cynic in me thinks it's more likely that because kitty offers tmux features he wants to lock users in to his product.

Yea maybe our definitions are just different, because I wouldn't call HN a social media site. It's a content aggregator to me, with some social features, like Reddit or Slashdot.

Look at Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, I believe there is a desire for a less algorithmic approach on those sites, hence all the uproar about the algorithms and shadow banning. Reverse chronological ordering from people you follow was the standard before, and a feature before revenue mattered as much. You curated your own feed by following people, not by a black box

Sorry wasn't meant as an attack, the algorithm based feeds of instagram and twitter are almost a decade old now, and I believe facebooks older.

There are definitely people in the tech field who have only (or mostly) experienced algorithmic based feeds.

I can't help but wonder who this is actually for?

Conversing with a computer sounds pathetic, but this will be pushed down our throats in the name of innovation (firing customer service agents)

Our prison system is undeniable terrible but we also so rarely see white collar criminals get what they deserve. Most of these guys get a slap on the wrist and somehow fail upwards.

And he's almost guaranteed to serve a smaller portion of that time for "good behavior".
