I just see this as an experiment to see if the system can survive without the bloat. If we need the bloat, the next person can just put it all back in. It's only 4 years.
This is my side hobby, a server side TUI protocol with a light browser like client that can navigate any TUI.
The primitives are good enough to build anything you want. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make better libs and tooling for creators (mainly myself) so I can crank out lots of examples apps that showcase the power of TUIs where you don't need a dedicated executable for each one.
I've been saying this in jest for years.
KMS is a money printing racket for AWS. It only really helps you if someone walks out of a data center with your hard drive. For everything else the attackers are just going to get your IAM creds which have open access to all your keys.
I fully agree. I made a TUI client/server framework loosely modeled around the concepts of CSS/HTML. One of my core design decisions was keyboard only input.
That's because askhistorians only let's other historians ask questions. I've tried asking some serious questions there before and I always got immediately deleted. IIRC it was always something about how the quality of my question was beneath them.
I will never buy a GM until they stop turning their reverse lights on when they're not reversing. This one small feature has wreaked immeasurable havoc on parking lots across the world.

It seems to only mess it up on mobile. Desktop Chrome seems fine. Mobile Chrome is all I've tested on.
I use ASCIIFlow all the time. I still haven't figured out how to get browsers to render the monospace fonts correctly see example diagram on this page: http://uggly.bytester.net/#how-it-works
Yeah, I'm known as the ASCII diagram guy at work because I use ASCIIFlow a lot. Still not sure if people think I'm a joke.
Yeah, I built a TUI framework for fun. I was playing with making a TUI browser where everything is rendered server side like html and streamed over grpc.
I first came across Gemini after making my own HTTP alternative TUI-over-the-wire protocol (uggly)[1].
Gemini has the same motives as I had when I started, but I didn't switch to it for all the same criticisms that are mentioned in the article (e.g. TOFU, no visualization support, no stream/data support, no cookies for login support, etc).
I'm really glad to see that the desire for a simpler protocol is still going strong though.
I love anything TUI related. I spent a lot of time last year making a TUI-over-the-wire protocol with a TUI browser.
It's somewhat related to this because it's generating a TUI dynamically based on an input schema coming over the wire via gRPC.
Would love any feedback http://uggly.bytester.net
Not exactly what you're looking for but to solve a similar problem I've been working on a TUI-over-the-wire protocol.
figuring out when to redraw the screen or sections of it

Because nobody would sign the offer letter except psychopaths and idiots.
This is basically how things used to work. The drawback is that young people with no credit can't build credit easily. You'd be disproportionately favoring those familial lineages with assets and losing out on a huge potential customer pool.
With better centralized data it's possible to having something of a win-win where banks get more customers and people can bootstrap their own lending reputation without having the last name "Jones".
Of course there's the tradeoff that you have to trust an institution to be a good steward of that data...
So Google Books? [1]
Only problem is that pesky copyright that makes you buy them
Or it's a trick and the mere fact that you're seeking answers and asking for help is the wisest move of all.
I have no idea why car manufacturers don't have phone holders built in. We're forced to buy cheap crap off the jungle website to suction cup, clamp, or screw into the dash. IMHO it should be a standard like the cigarette outlet.
I seem to recall that HAProxy and Squid used to do this too.
I hate the reverse light thing so hard. If I see a GM with reverse lights on I completely ignore it and never stop. Thanks GM for ruining something nice.
I spent a few months trying to build a TUI client server UI framework targeting such users.
I have an old Ranger and I'm gonna try and do exactly this. Still gonna cost like $15k for Li batteries though.
I think what it is is that nobody wants to force more responsibilities and complexity on Developers so they hire DevOps people. Then the DevOps systems are so complex that it needs a ultra high quality engineer to run them.
The whole seed of the DevOps movement was that developers needed to do more or the company would fail. Over time, management lost their conviction when developers push back and didn't want to risk losing devs so they "outsource" the devops skills.
The only drawback is that we have a hard time finding other developers in the company that want and have the time to learn the setup
This is my experience as well in enterprise cloud. I don't get it. Have these people seen what cloud jobs pay for less work?
"A minor surgury is one that's happening to somebody else."

Yeah, I expect it will turn into a game and companies will just explode the number of positions so "Software Engineer 1" will become
Software Engineer 1a (60k-70k) Software Engineer 1b (70k-80k) Etc...
Exactly, then you need at least 1 architect per app. I wrote an article about this problem: http://blog.bytester.net/posts/cloud-talent/
Dealing with this now for a client. Can't test Redshift AZ relocation feature because there's no way to simulate AZ failure. Only safe bet is full multi region with DNS switcheroo.
I love this idea: "Cheapest way to run a static site that can handle hugs of death".
