That’s exactly how NAND flash works though… it’s a continuous range of voltages and they just subdivide it into how ever many bits they want.

The article mentions something about being able to nudge the voltage up and down with this new tech, I guess as opposed to setting to 0 and then writing again, but it’s not clear how that would allow for more bits per cell over NAND rather than just being faster from not needing to erase and write…

That’s the problem, a lot of CS professors never worked in the industry or did anything outside academia so they never learned those lessons…or the last time they did work was back in the 90s lol.

Doesn’t help that most universities don’t seem to offer “software engineering” degrees and so everyone takes “computer science” even if they don’t want to be a computer scientist.

Is your interest in native stuff or dubs or both?

On one hand, fuuuuck that…but on the ooooother hand…I kind of can’t wait to be able to hack my car to get more features for free like unlocking the hidden extra core or cache on old CPUs.

I mean I don’t give a shit about EULAs, if they put it in the car I bought in gonna fucking use it lol.

You shouldn’t pad your resume with certificates at all.

I view all of them equally negatively in the sense that I don’t care about them at all. When I’m hiring I’m looking at experience, not pieces of paper (certs or degrees). More corporate companies probably do care more though, at least in the automated portion of their hiring funnel.

Though with that said, from anecdotal experience, a lot of certifications tends to be a red flag as I’ve found those to usually be the weakest candidates.

For standard software development jobs I think they’re completely unnecessary, but I could see something like an AWS cert being valued for a dev-ops job though I’ve never hired for dev-ops so I can’t speak from experience there…

Recently built an SFF PC and the only SFX-L power supply in stock with a native 16pin power connector was their Loki model. Luckily they just rebrand Seasonic power supplies who are afaik known to be pretty high quality so hopefully I won’t have any issues with it. But yeah their stuff always seems to have a big price premium they don’t deserve and overboard “gamer aesthetic” that I’m not really into, so I generally stay away from their stuff.

Hmm yeah that’s a good point about spamming commands. Great example of why UI/UX is so hard…it’s easy to throw out suggestions that sound good but the devil is always in the details (and edge cases) ;)

Awesome, that seems like a great idea. Since as I understand it, the app is essentially just running terminal commands, I think showing the currently running command would be a huge UX improvement. It would help both with knowing what's going on and with debugging any issues with the commands.

Right now I'm traveling and my home VPN connection isn't working for some reason, so I don't have access to most of the VMs I usually use daily, but as soon as I get access again I'll get them all added and really give this a proper test drive. I'll report any issues I run across or UX suggestions I can think of. It's great to see how well you take feedback!

Also funny enough, just due to talking about iTerm2, I went and downloaded it and found out about the split panes feature and I think I may now be a convert haha.

Just reopened the app and tried it again and figured out what happened. I had not entered a password in settings when adding the server since I connect using an ssh key. It detected I had docker but when I tried to click it, it errored out. If I had read the error, I would have seen that the problem was needing the password for sudo. I added the password to the server settings and now it's working.

I guess then the only real "bug" I found so far is that on macOS the app defaults to using iTerm2.app which is a 3rd party terminal app which I don't have installed, so I had to change it to Terminal.app. I know iTerm2 is popular, but I think the default should be the one everyone has installed, and let iTerm2 users select their app in settings, not the other way around. But that's more a UI/UX/onboarding experience thing than a real bug (though maybe it's possible to detect if iTerm2 is installed).

Anyway, I'm going to keep playing with this and will report anything I find. So far my second impression is that it just overall feels kind of sluggish and doesn't have the best UI feedback when you're waiting for things so I ended up clicking things more than once not thinking it was working then it would open multiple times (like clicking the root file directory).

Hope to see you keep working on this, it seems like a really cool idea.

Just downloaded this and tried it out on a Debian VPS I have. Ran into a bunch of bugs to the point I couldn’t really do anything with it, but I can see a bunch of potential in the UI. I really like the idea of being able to see an overview of shell, containers, files, etc. I have a bunch of self hosted Proxmox VMs and various VPSs I use on a daily basis, and whole I’m totally comfortable with the command line, this tool seems genuinely useful.

It seems like you have a bunch of functionality and UI implemented already, so I think taking a few weeks to just bug hunt would be super beneficial at this point. I’ll open up some GitHub issues when I have a minute later, but I ran into so many bugs in just 5 min that it was basically unusable which is extra frustrating because it really seems like it can be a useful tool if it works.

It could have just said: c++ programming
