Poor child process management in Rust terminal apps leads to terminal corruption

news.ycombinator.com Nicolas Joseph 2026-01-15 03:05:04

When a terminal application that spawns child processes doesn't exit cleanly after a Ctrl+C , the user is left with a corrupted terminal. Instead of a clean prompt, you get garbled output and a non-functional shell. This post covers how to solve these issues, with examples from the Moose CLI (for the PR that fixed many of these issues, see here). In this post, you’ll read learnings from solving these issues in the Moose CLI— terminal application that manages multiple child processes, including

Amazon’s New ‘War of the Worlds’ Features a Head-Scratching Twist

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-01-16 09:00:55

Even before War of the Worlds entered the public domain a decade ago, H.G. Wells’ alien-invasion tale had been adapted over and over. Steven Spielberg’s 2005 movie is probably the best-remembered cinematic version, though Orson Welles’ 1938 radio broadcast, said to have sparked panic among more gullible listeners, is still the most famous. A new version has arrived this week, directed by Rich Lee (making his feature debut after many music videos and commercials) and starring Ice Cube. Set very

Figma’s IPO price hit a $19.3B valuation out of the gate

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2026-01-16 09:04:41

Figma will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday in one of the most anticipated IPOs of 2025. The IPO is 40x oversubscribed, VCs confirmed to TechCrunch and Bloomberg previously reported. That means demand for shares is 40x the number of shares the company and its existing investors are selling. So it should surprise no one that Figma, which offers design software, has priced its initial shares at $33 per share, above its previously announced range. On Monday, the company sa

Trump Ends Tariff Exemption for Small Packages

US President Donald Trump just dealt another blow to the embattled ecommerce industry, which is still reeling from sweeping tariffs Trump announced in the spring. On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order widening the impact of those tariffs and making it more expensive for Americans to buy foreign products on sites like eBay, Etsy, and Amazon.

How to sync passkeys in Chrome across your Android, iPhone, Mac, or PC (and why you should)

Lance Whitney / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Passkeys promise to replace passwords as a more secure and convenient login method. But they still have a way to go before fulfilling that promise. That's because passkeys are often way too difficult to set up on one device, let alone all the devices you use.
