>It's trivial to get the quality right.

as someone who has 3d printed nearly 100kg with FDM machines in the past year, I can't disagree more.

Filament extrusion foaming coefficients are all over the place, even only looking at 'cheap' PLA, let alone PETG. This leads to excess oozing and inconsistent extrusion widths, leading to failed or out-of-tolerance parts.

Color is all over the place for anything but the darkest or lightest colors for the cheap stuff.

Filament widths are wildly inconsistent even within the same companies products -- this leads to extruder jams on the cold side.

Cheap filament spools are commonly fused or spliced together mid-roll, leading to a bump at the splice that has to be shaved -- often it isn't, again leading to extruder jams.

Spools that are spliced together often have poor circularity near the splice -- another chance for a jam.

I've received dusty spools that were vacuum packed, and spools that were vacuum packed with condensation visible on the inside of the packaging (humidity and moisture can damage many filaments, leading to lengthy rebake procedures if the filament survives at all.).

I appreciate your effort, and i'm glad you're doing well in business -- but the quality of your product must come from efforts you don't realize, because the quality on the market for cheap filament is , in HN parlance, a dumpster fire.

Correct! There are some people fortunately < 5% from what I can tell who are mal-adaptive and sometimes mal-adaptive and intelligent. That's a different ball game indeed.

It’s been 6 years since the 2015 single-USB-C MacBook came out. Patience is wearing thin. Also I don’t recall the original USB having widespread problems with non compliant cables that can fry your device or burn down your house. And of course there still aren’t any true USB-C hubs available.

All this would be even worse without the tireless efforts of Benson Leung and his merry band of USB-C avengers.
Philosophically, wireless is just going to be more complicated than wired. Say I'm sitting in front of 4 computers with 1 keyboard. Without interacting with the system at all, which computer is connected to the keyboard? With wireless its difficult/impossible to tell whereas it's fairly clear with wired.

KISS is the philosophical principle at play.

I concur. Maybe OP prices themselves at $50/hour. That means only 20 hours of work in a month is needed. Lots of people will pay $50/hour. Maybe op has trouble finding full time work at this level starting out. But sure they could find 1/2 weeks work over the course of the month.

I think you’re missing how easy it is to do these days.

It’s pretty easy to do with NTP synced devices. I’m lucky enough to have a fleet of devices sync with GPS and the PPS signal. It’s pretty amazing to/fun to do latency tests, you grab a time stamp and ship it to far side and time stamp the arrival. Voila single direction latency measurements.
Distributions with modern kernels can't ship with drivers for old kernels.
What are you using to do this, if you don’t mind?
I agree. I almost never actively try to memorize anything, it simply happens through repetition that occurs naturally when writing code.

Remembering how to access the information that you need is pretty much the only thing that needs to be committed to memory.

It does, and I say this from someone who has sold various food-oriented businesses before. It's not the case with most other food types, but lasagna is in the sweet spot for us.

It's not a "luxury" item like a latte. It has enough nutrition for people to justify buying it whenever they're too lazy to cook for their kids. It's not something everyone's mom knows how to cook. It can be done with cheap ingredients. It probably wouldn't be the case in a Western country.

Retraction—Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without a macrolide for treatment of COVID-19: a multinational registry analysis

Lancet retracts a scientific article that claims Hydroxychloriquine leads to higher death rates. The article was retracted after numerous scientists questioned the underlying data and its collection. The dataset was not revealed and the lead authors withdrew their support for the article.

Sorry, I don’t quite understand. XP is a flight simulator. You outsource a 3D model of a plane and the relevant audio. Then you code and paint the plane in the application, which is then sold?

This is interesting and sounds like it could be applied to game plugins in general.

If you need to spot an array vs an element, you have to use a container tag to express it. This is the same structure as is needed to encode algebraic data types.

Unfortunately, for a lot of white people, oppression isn't real until it happens to white people.
It is! In engineering, as discrete from science, the point of theory is to know what is going to happen in practice. If theory can't tell you, then it's useless for practical purposes. If the theory is ignoring important aspects of reality that make it useless, then what's the point of theory?

Eg In theory we can move faster than light, we just need a source of infinite energy. In practice, "infinite" is an impossibly large amount of energy, so any theories that allow for faster than light travel are only interesting for entertainment/theoretical purposes.

For wireless connections, the gulf between theory and practice is just too large, so theory remains theoretical.

Can you explain with reference to appropriate section of
TAOCP

1. How to parse a context free grammar

2. Cooks Theorem

3. Hindley Milner Type inference algorithm

4. No free lunch theorem in Machine Learning

5. The 2 phase and 3 phase commit protocols

6. The PAXOS consensus problem

7. The Bakers algorithm for mutual exclusion

8. The Diagonalization argument of Alan Turing - The Halting problem

9. The RSA public key encryption algorithm

10. A proof of undecidability via Lambda Calculus

I have a copy, and I could find none of these topics discussed in TAOCP. You can pick up any of these topics and absolutely none of the original works describing these works uses the TAOCP as a front bone/ back bone or anything else.

In fact, TAOCP uses original research work such as those described above as its backbone and summarizes them in a reference. With additional rigorous analysis using MMIX, which the original papers probably skipped.

Either you haven't read the book in any detail or have no idea about how CS research works and how research scholars and professors arrive at new results.

> On December 16th Yahoo held an all-hands meeting to rally the troops after a big round of layoffs. Around 11 AM someone at this meeting showed a slide with a couple of Yahoo properties grouped into three categories, one of which was ominously called "sunset". The most prominent logo in the group belonged to Delicious, our main competitor. Milliseconds later, the slide was on the web, and there was an ominous thundering sound as every Delicious user in North America raced for the exit.

> I got the message just as I was starting work for the day. My Twitter client, normally a place where I might see ten or twenty daily mentions of Pinboard, had turned into a nonstop blur of updates. My inbox was making a kind of sustained pealing sound I had never heard before. It was going to be an interesting afternoon.

Why would you want to buy them a retro computer? The reality would look closer to something like Windows S being installed on every PC and you'd have to shell out $2000 for an expensive Windows license to be able to run unsigned applications. Also, the raspberry pi is pretty much the epitome of giving children access to a programmable computer.

My personal fear is that people will think that they have to explicitly decide to invest into becoming a software developer by buying developer tools the same way you have to invest into dedicated wood working tools to become a carpenter.

> If I want to use a bit from their UI component generator in my commercial software, am I violating their license?

It depends on the license. Based on what I have read about the cockroachdb, SSPL (mongo) it seems that you can do that (but I am not sure about it, someone more knowledgable might be able to verify it).

> This is why real open source is so important to distinguish

Consider another case then. You are making a proprietary software that you might or might not be planning to sell and you get the ui generator from an open source software. Are you free to do that?
Truth is that just like above the answer is "it depends on the license". GPL will not let you do it while MIT will. LGPL will let you do it if you make the ui generator a library that you dynamically link with and publish your changes to it, while MPL... I have no idea, I think it works on a per-file bases.
