🌎 Now redesigning the https://t.co/HGCLKS5BD6 profile trips globe from scratch I've always wanted to add space trips, so starting with the moon here which you can add as a future trip, also adding Mars etc. Other trips also need to work here though like going into orbit like @satofishi did on @SpaceX's Dragon capsule which will be more in reach for more people hopefully pretty soon! Quoting @levelsio ✨ Finally built a timeline for https://t.co/HGCLKS5BD6 now I always wanted to make my site a bit more social, because I had profiles and trip overlaps and you could kinda see where other people went, but not something like this So on this new page you can see people near you, where everyone's trave… Related
Co-founder of Superlogical, started in 2026 to build server-side terminal infrastructure; creator of Ghostty. Co-founded HashiCorp and created Vagrant and Terraform before that.
Software should be fun. It should make you feel something, positive hopefully. Utilitarian software is the worst. The human experience is why life is worth living (even for something as teeny tiny as a terminal). Quoting @almonk importing your ghostty config to @superlogical is a moment to celebrate, right?

Quand le pétrole est sous pression, les prix à la pompe grimpent. Je sais ce que cela représente pour les Français. Ce qui se passe à des milliers de kilomètres de chez nous finit toujours par peser sur notre quotidien. Alors j’agis pour réduire les tensions, sécuriser nos approvisionnements et faire baisser la pression sur les prix. Après mes échanges avec le Premier ministre irakien en début de semaine, je me suis entretenu aujourd’hui avec le Prince héritier d’Arabie saoudite et l’Émir du Qatar. La priorité : rétablir la liberté de navigation dans le détroit d’Ormuz, artère vitale pour le… English, from French When oil is under pressure, prices at the pump rise. I know what that means for the French people. What happens thousands of miles away always ends up affecting our daily lives. So I am taking action to reduce tensions, secure our supplies, and ease the pressure on prices. After my discussions with the Iraqi Prime Minister earlier this week, I spoke today with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the Emir of Qatar. The priority: restoring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for the…

Author of The 4-Hour Workweek and Tools of Titans, and host of The Tim Ferriss Show podcast.
A big part of The 4-Hour Body (2010) was diversifying my identity. I felt this was a necessary step for my own personal preservation. I didn't want to put out "The 3 1/2 Hour Workweek" or "The 3-Hour Workweek." I also wanted to diversify the public perception of my expertise. I wanted people, hopefully, to read my material because of the way I deconstruct problems, not because of the specific subject matter. Related

[All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.] Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "Le Petit Prince." An impromptu game of "who can name the largest number?" is an example I often point to as a way in which young children teach each other about non-trivial mathematical ideas and facts, such as infinity and the concept of proof by contradiction (embodied in this case by one child eventually realizing that they can defeat any other child's guess by adding "plus one" to that gues… Related

Co-CEO of Waymo and a founding member of Google's self-driving car project, which he joined in 2009.
Their words
common failure mode is picking the tech that gives you the fastest early ramp, riding that steep curve, feeling like you're winning, projecting that, you know, steep slope into the future and feeling like the sky is the limit, and then hitting the plateau, and discovering that the technology path that you picked actually flattens out way before the performance that is required by your product.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
