How your URLs read (and if you PUT or POST) is entirely unimportant if you are doing hypermedia/HATEAOS/REST as Fielding envisages it (http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hyperte...).

"If the engine of application state (and hence the API) is not being driven by hypertext, then it cannot be RESTful and cannot be a REST API. Period."

If you're doing REST as-in JSON-over-http + a docs page, knock yourself out.

Google is "losing out" in the sense that it's actually making an effort to perfect the technology to the point where a car can safely drive itself with no driver, while everyone else (Tesla, Uber, etc.) is happy to rush to market with options that still require an attentive person behind the wheel. These are different focuses that have different outcomes and time scales, as the last part of the article says.
and every dime saved in the actual purchase is lost when you factor in the price of replacement cartridges. Ultimately, the per-unit manufacturing cost reduction simply results in sub-par units that often break and need to be fully replaced.
Sysadmin here. I think HP's quality has gone way up in the past decade or so on the enterprise level. I remember the early 2000s as having a lot of lemons on their officejet line and now we have printers that run with hundreds of thousands of pages and only needing a new fuser now and again. Their enterprise drivers are usually okay but its a crapshoot between using the dedicated driver or the universal driver. Common wisdom is to never use the universal driver in production, which is a shame, because it was supposed to solve all the driver woes HP had with its dozens of different models.

That said, the consumer line is a complete nightmare, especially the all-in-ones. HP and the rest need to stop what they're doing and just re-do all the drivers and helper software from scratch. Its also inexcusable that anyone is still selling ink-based printers. The industry really needs to move to a laser-only strategy. Everything about ink printers is terrible.

Currently, I have a $199 5+ year old brother b&w laser printer at home. Its a little tank. When I need to print photos I just send them to Walgreens. Win-win in my book.

> Why can't I print ink on a copper PCB, so that I can etch it later? Why can't I print soldermasks or silkscreens?

Well, to be fair, HP isn't in that industry. You're asking for 3D printing solutions from a paper printing company. When those things happen, they'll be from other companies. There's not a lot in common with circuit or 3D printing and traditional laser printing. Also considering HP is trying to re-do itself as a software company and always trying to find a buyer for its hardware lines, I suspect they have zero incentive to enter risky new markets. I'm guessing this acquisition is to make them more attractive to a hypothetical future buyer. This acquisition gives HP access to a robust copier line and mobile printing technology that works pretty well (samsungs copiers are android based so there are some mobile benefits and 'not reinventing the wheel' aspects here).

I remember people saying that about the original white headphones when the iPod first came out. Apple did lots of clever advertising to make them look normal. They might be able to pull off the same trick here, though it doesn't look like it at the moment.
> If that is the case, then it sounds like this whole thread has been miscommunication :-)

I am not sure about that. The original poster wrote 'I have never once thought: "You know what, I'd like to make a decision as to the width of an integer every time I declare a function."' I disagreed with that, and that's where the whole discussion started off. And I still advocate using the smallest (explicitly sized) type you could get away with. Weren't you advocating using bare C types (unsigned char, short, long, etc.) for your variables all along?
Strictly speaking, if you do a PUT on it, you are not updating a resource, you are replacing a resource. I know you basically say the same thing, but "update" is too ambiguous in this case. That is also why PUT is idempotent: it replaces the complete state of the referred resource.

Similarly, POST is not idempotent because it modifies (part of) the resource's state while leaving it otherwise untouched.

That's a model that works a lot better when you're a relative nobody than when you're the biggest company in the world. The reality is that people will buy whatever Apple sells them, within reason.

Laser printers: The imaging drums have a chip on them which counts how many pages they have processed, and will refuse to work after a certain number of pages even if the drum itself is fine. They do this to stop potential damage to the drum.

You can buy cheap chips to put into the printer if you want to risk it - search for "drum reset refill chip".
What about error representation? Most of the time I find that actually representing errors is the hard part of creating a REST api.

You usually want some representation of each field, plus maybe a generic one. I always have troubles with this. Is there a standard or a proper way to define/do this? I would be very interested.
In all probability, there are stringent requirements for flame spread, smoke developed, and the creation of toxic gasses for airline seats similar to those discussed for passenger trains here:

> This is why printers are hell. You have a much of communication protocols but you need per-device drivers to interface with them over that protocol. It doesn't matter that we have ipp, because for over six years driverless printing has been in draft hell[1].

Business idea! A device that plugs into your printer (or network) and exposes it as a "more compatible" printer on the same network! Yes it's silly that you'd need a separate device to do this, but it would allow for having a clean implementation of IPP exposed (so no more hacks or backwards compatibility issues). Maybe a custom OS build atop a Rasberry Pi for a proof of concept.

I would definitely buy one. Spending $50 on something like that to save hours upon hours of wasted time setting up Linux printers.

True enough. Given the length of the post and how prevalent the theme of "luck" appears I still find it obnoxious. No doubt there is so much to learn in and around computers that everyone should feel humbled, but this guy should also recognize the mere mortals around him struggling even more so.
Ironically, I bought a cheap Samsung printer (Ml2165W), and I had to flash its firmware to let it accept generic cartridges.

I ended up buying an used, better model, which had more generic toners available.

I hope HP doesn't start doing that crap.

Because the action is designed to affect the /accounts/4402278 resource. Requiring a PUT here would (semantically) imply that /accounts/4402278 is a container that has various sub-resources.

Also, there is nothing wrong with having an idempotent POST effect. "POST is not supposed to be idempotent" is not the same as "POST should never be idempotent". In this case, the POST acts on a boolean flag; it is harder to make it not idempotent.

2. The code was clean, lightly commented, and brief without being terse; regardless of the paradigm.

3. They breezed through the interview because the questions tested their ability to actually build the thing they said they could build. No silly games. A light question that touches on data structures and O time, but nothing you'd need to crack open your old college books over.

I feel bad for people starting out, but senior / intermediate devs are just such a better deal. You pay double and you get about four or five times the work.

I did! I have been getting by on my £50 Samsung ML2165W for a couple of years, even with the starter toner I think. The replacement toners are more expensive than the printer, mind you.

I've fought both European re-enactment and SCA, and they're both totally different styles, and both about as safe as each other. I wouldn't say the SCA method is the only safe way of doing this. But I don't think they're too worried about safety anyway.

Re-enactment (in Europe anyway, I can't speak about US or Japanese re-enactment) has always has two sides:

The desire to recreate historical costume and practices

vs

The desire to get drunk in a castle with your mates and have a damn good fight

As re-enactment spread east through Europe from the UK, the latter tendency became more pronounced. The Russians and Poles get a real reputation in the European scene for fighting dirty, hitting hard and not taking their shots.

This sport developed from that. Their gear is almost completely unrelated to what was actually used in the time period they say they portray, and safety takes a back seat to "not being a pussy". I suspect the rules around drinking are more lax than you'd expect from a conventional re-enactment society too. They're all about the "beer and bash".

I expect that there'll be a few more splits as they evolve, with the safety-conscious moving to a more toned-down style while the real nutters keep the rules rough and accumulate scar tissue.

Probably not, but I've also never heard of anyone who had to call in technical support to clear off malware or reformat their fax machine. It just works.
But surely the lesson from Microsoft is that Apple won't stay forever the biggest company in the world if they keep making products people don't want. On the other hand, if they keep making products that they think people want and we think they don't, and if they keep being successful, then maybe it's we the pundits, rather than Apple the company or its satisfied customers (which is not all of them!), who are wrong?

(I say this as someone who would like his phone to have a headphone jack, and doesn't personally want a new iPhone—and, on a more personal note (I'm a several-generations-out-of-date Android user not much affected by current iPhone trends), who hates the direction of macOS and wishes it were possible to live in the land of Snow Leopard forever—but also has reluctantly to concede that Apple has a better track record than I do for predicting and shaping the tech marketplace.)
I've used vim, pretty heavily customized, for almost a decade now. It seems to me perfect, and if not perfect, I just change it so it's perfect.

I will happily give 8.0 a try, but I have never used such perfect software such as vim (and I also don't follow its dev cycle at all) I am really, really surprised a new version came out. I figured I'd be using the same vim until keyboards were completely out of style.

I tend to use a combination of BEM component based rules and AtomicCSS inspired class-style, and my Sass tends to be pretty damn clean.

No, it's not perfect, but if you pay enough attention and do things right then it's quite a nice experience.

>The highly parallel computer architecture was eventually surpassed in speed by less specialized hardware (for example, Sun workstations and Intel x86 machines).

Strangely enough, a decade or so later Sony tried an exotic architecture with its PS3 only to go back to a generalist x86/x64 architecture with the PS4. Funny how the top-down approaches fail compared to bottom up 'kitchen sink' approaches almost consistently and how so many countries and companies never learn this lesson. The West didn't panic from what I can tell. AMD and Intel kept raising transistor density and clock speeds and kept giving their customers what they wanted via a competitive market approach.

> The staggering number of password files breaches in recent months demonstrates the importance of cryptographic protection for stored passwords.

Rather, they demonstrate the importance of not re-using a password for multiple sites.

The value of a password is under the user's control. A password which controls access to a user's account on a site which has been compromised (only to that account and nothing else) has very low value, even compared to other pieces of personal information (which are usually stored plain text, and likely included in the breach).
