This is basically the same as having an automated way to provision Azure VM instances that you would access via RDP, already quite common in many IT organisations, especially for temporary team members as contractors.
> internally at Microsoft, pretty much all the developers I know have switched to using "Devbox", which means we use a remote desktop client to access our dev machine.
Everything old is new again, back to the days of using a single shared server for software development in timesharing setup.
Instead of Novell Netware, UNIX, VMS, AS/400,..., it is the cloud.
Some of us, already have all the speed we need with Java and .NET tooling, don't waste our time rewriting stuff, nor need to bother with borrow checker, even if it isn't a big deal to write affine types compliant code.
And we can always reach out to Scala or F# if feeling creating to play with type systems.
I am fully aware of it, there have been many 'excited' posts in HN history about various programming languages, with related rewrite X in Y, the remark still stands.
Which is the same reason I don't like Proton, as it in the end doesn't change Windows status quo as the platform for game developers, and hardly any different from using MAME, Vice, Stella, Mesen, Linux-UAE,....
TCL/Tk too, albeit being far less intuitive than Lazarus+FreePascal. Altough it has far less code, so it's a draw on difficulty. The average Joe would just spend time measuring the sizes of the frames and that's it.
Oh I see what you're saying; right, if elisp launches a process it's just a normal process (unless the elisp itself containerizes it when it launches it)
Here is the thing, I still remember when there was no recording, what happens in the venue stays in the venue, or gets talked with others that shared the experience.
If I am paying $700 to see Lady Gaga you bet your ass I’m taking some pictures.
I actually find k-pop shows somewhat refreshing because there’s zero negative stigma for wanting to record pictures or video. I can easily tell that Gen Z/Alpha has no problem enjoying themselves and even dancing while recording a video.
If a phone is blocking your view the venue is designed wrong, or you have the rare concertgoer who doesn’t know how to hold their phone in a way that preserves the view for others, which is rare for the younger audiences. (I don’t go to venues with flat floors anymore. Often they weren’t even designed for concerts in the first place).
I’ve turned myself in to the police because I wasn’t enjoying the moment enough. I regret my crimes. I know better now to have exercised free will too extremely.
I don’t know why the techno-reactionary assumption is that the kids are just doing it for clout online, or that the kids recording aren’t enjoying themselves in the moment. To me, that viewpoint seems like an unsubstantiated assumption, and an embodiment of the “old man yelling at clouds” meme.
I am fully capable of enjoying myself while recording a video/picture.
You’d be amazed at the kind of video and audio quality modern smartphones are capable of taking in a concert setting. The audio quality might even beat the live experience, especially since I need special earplugs to be able to enjoy most concerts without them being too loud and washed out.
The smartphone doesn’t have the same problems that human ears have.
Modern telephoto lenses and video stabilization are incredible. My phone can literally see the stage better than my eyes can.
