Let's be honest: Next to no service is designed to expect immutable files. At best they're handling a situation of read-only filesystems. If they document how configure not writing to a file and instead of doing that, the user is marking the file immutable, I wouldn't blame the app design.
I have no actual experience with a belt-bed printer so this is pure speculation. I would absolutely believe adhesion/warping etc would be harder to control with a belt, but I also bet it's still within the scope of the usual 3D printer tweaking necessary to get good output. I imagine there are some exciting uses for this sort of printer.

I'm imagining a 100mm x 100mm x belt or so sized printer, for the sorts of custom tchotchke applications that hobbyist 3D printers get used for these days it seems like a good fit. It's maybe easier to make one for each of your friends with something like that vs a Makerbot or Prusa. I bet repeatability in part quality would also be slightly easier to dial in vs printing multiple across a full bed.

It would also be useful for more serious applications. There are plenty of situations where you want many small parts to just come off a conveyor belt after you hit print on your CAD file. Articulated cable guides and fasteners, wing ribs, connectors for extrusions.

Sure it's no revolution, but there are projects I would definitely be more excited to take on if I could automatically manufacture a lot of small parts. I interpret this as a step in that direction. That's appealing.

> Imagine the American government disbanding.

What you would get then is not a society that had evolved into anarchy by a natural process, and therefore had institutions appropriate to such a society. (Yes, a society that is a functioning anarchy will still have institutions. But none of them will have a monopoly on violence.)

What you would get instead would be a society that had evolved with a hierarchical set of centralized governments, which was then forcibly deprived of those governments, without restructuring all of the other institutions in the society that only exist in the first place because the society had centralized governments. Obviously this will be worse than either what we have now, or what we would have if we lived in a society that evolved into anarchy by a natural process. But that is irrelevant to the question of whether a society that evolved into anarchy by a natural process could be better than what we have now.

In a strange way, Vim might be for you then. I've used it steadily for the last decade as my IDE, and I have a minimal set of plugins and an unimpressive .vimrc. I've put most effort into setting up very limited, low-key syntax colouring schemes; and linting. To me now, Vim (well, neovim) feels like the bare tool with a few ornaments I keep around, and little more; switching to VS Code occasionally feels like going into a circus. Vim is effectively my distraction free coding environment.
This is a really fun, totally crazy and chaotic game. Highly recommended.
I make cookie cutters, and I want this exactly for that purpose. Each cutter take between 1-2 hours to print, and with a large variety. It would be just wonderful to have a customer order a cookie cutter, have it added to a print queue.

I'm not sure people complaints about printer reliability, since I run my printers at 500+ hours without anything to them, but even still a little maintenance is to be expected in any machine.
There is lots of ideology in your post that blinds you and make you don't see reality.

The concept of "planned obsolescence" is wrong in so many levels. It makes companies bad and customers good, but the reality is that most of what people call "planned obsolescence" is just offering products cheap enough.

The fact is that most people want to buy as cheap as possible, and today polymers could make things extremely cheap to manufacture, but polymers do not last like good quality metals or polymers.

You sell at the store a washing machine with the drum made in stainless steel or polymer and most people choose the polymer one, because it is so cheap, compared to manufacturing in steel.

You put as an example capacitors that pop and leak as part of the "master plan of planned obsolescence". Most of the capacitors leaking in the millions were the consequence of China doing industrial espionage of Western companies, selling those caps super cheap, but doing it badly and those millions of caps failing very early.

Of course the same people that buy cheap and put with their decisions out of business the quality product, then will complain about the cheap product when it fails.

Most companies just can not manufacture high quality products because it is so expensive for them, and will not be able to recoup the investment, not enough people will buy.

Apple can do that and does that. Their products are high quality. They use high quality materials like aluminum to make their computers, and almost nobody can compete with them because they sell in volume.

For example they manufacture clocks with a precision that no company in the world used in volume before they did.

You can like or dislike what they do, but insulting them only shows how biased are you against them.

I get what you're saying. And yet Facebook HQ's physical address is 1 Hacker Way. Not 1 Big Business Way, nor 1 Status Quo Way, nor 1 Software Engineer Way. Hacker Way. Google used to speak about allowing the whole world to access information with ease, including projects like making libraries accessible.

Clearly Facebook and Google at least identify themselves with hacker culture. I'm not sure if Twitter ever professed any sort of noble goals, though it's a dwarf compared to the other two.

> With the President and many politicians supporting the killing in in Kenosha, clearly a portion of those in power support it.

I'm not sure I'd say anyone supports the killing. I personally think it was a big mistake for that kid to go there, regardless of whether he has the right to. It was a bad decision, and led to a tragic situation where there were no winners. That said, he's not a murderer; if anything, the mob was coming after him (guns firing in multiple cases) to kill him.

I also question the de facto power that the president has when the press really is able to control when and how he says what he says. And the press's lies seem to be getting more absurd and brazen. (The personality of the current president does him no favors. It's a negative, in fact.) He holds de jure power, but given his inability to pull 2000 troops from Syria or drop charges against his former National Security Adviser, his legal authority seems like the Queen's royal prerogatives++. The press and entertainment industries, the universities and the bureaucracy seem to hold fragments of power both legally and in the culture, which makes the de jure power a bit weak.

> There are alternative news sites, forums and even social media. Nobody is locked to these sites, except for an entitlement to an audience.

Twitter and Facebook have strong network effects, which effectively does lock people in. YouTube's are much weaker, which is why I suspect decentralized video will be the first decentralized service if they can get some legal kinks worked out. (There's also a legal argument about monopoly common carriers, even at common law, and how they shouldn't terminate service unless the law is violated.) However, even if we accepted that these were competitive, this kind of competition can only exist when we at least have some level of order and security. The reason.com article seems to indicate how we do not have that kind of basic stability.
> Amazon now has a very big financial incentive to move beyond whack-a-mole and truly tackle these problems, which requires A) doing at least as good as Fakespot at identifying the bad actors and B) implementing technologies and policies that discourage buying or posting fake reviews.

What incentive? They're still a giant, and while I've seen people here on HN complain about it, I've yet to see people or companies stop ordering via Amazon due to fake reviews.

Aside from their own sales incentives, why should they invest in something that other businesses (such as Fakespot) are already solving? It's R&D costs they can just not spend at all, and if the public pressure against fake reviews starts to boil up, they can probably buy Fakespot for less than it would cost them to develop the functionality on their own.
It doesn't entirely prevent you from making money, but it can make it harder.

Even the FSF acknowledges this. See for example "Proprietary software developers have the advantage of money" on https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html.
In the quote I think Europe is meant in the cultural sense, and I guess you are talking about Europe in the geographical sense.
This varies by jurisdiction, but perhaps I oversimplified. There is another reason that doesn't happen.

The individual engineer doing the work needs a license, but the company itself also needs a permit to practice. The permit must be held by an engineer, who is personally responsible for the engineering that occurs under their permit.

So, the permit holder needs to worry not just about their own ethical behaviour, but that of all engineers in the company. They are incentivized to ensure the company will hold the public safety paramount, or to walk away if they cannot (thereby leaving the company without a permit).

If the company has a pattern of misbehaviour, it may be difficult to obtain a permit.
There are multiple third party GUIs for apt. None of them provide the App Store type experience and ones that do aren’t exactly great or easy to use.

I never said to recompile everything, just specific things. You don’t need to rebuild your kernel, libc, compiler, and so on to compile Chromium.

Snap is not the same as macOS apps. But macOS apps are self-contained statically linked apps most of which don’t hook into centralized updating services. Yet macOS is more usable than Ubuntu (I say this as someone who desperately wishes the reverse was true). macOS apps have more in common with snap apps than with dynamically linked .deb packages.

My first real editor was microemacs on Amiga. Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face :) I learned C and became really good at it with that editor and didn't need to change a single setting or learn a complex keyboard shortcut.

Super neat. But a solution looking for a problem.
User replaceable doesn't need to mean tool-free removal.

You can use tiny phillips/hex/torx screws instead of glue to hold the back in place.

You can use thin rubber gaskets and silicone grease to seal the case instead of a custom punched adhesive sheet that is nearly impossible to replace without destroying the device or compromising future water resistance. Literally every water resistant wristwatch made before Apple entered the market used to work this way. They're designed to have batteries replaced or mechanical bits serviced every few years and are expected to continue to be water resistant, and many of them are extremely thin. I'm surprised that no phones do this, as it seems like it could be marketed as a super premium build-quality feature ("built like a dive watch").

The batteries are already connectorized instead of soldered. You can use replaceable pull-tab-removable adhesive strips to hold the battery in place if needed, instead of glue that exceeds the yield strength of the material it's attached to.

Some of these things might cost a few cents more, but none of them should materially affect thinness, rigidity, water resistance, etc.
I know this because my kids watch horrible histories.

My kids know more about history than I learnt at school by watching horrible histories.

Primary school history lessons should watch all the horrible histories, they really are great at teaching kids.
I find being good at vim makes exploration much easier though. Being able to use Ag to populate a quick fix list is way faster for me than ctrl-f plus clicking through every option. And being able to go up and down the movement stack let's me retrace how I navigated to where I am right now, in a way that isn't possible in many editors. Tools like just searching through open buffers let me use search in large codebases without having to wait forever for results. So for me being good at an editor is more than just being able to make fast edits (although that's definitely a benefit too).

And even if I only saved a few minutes a day, over several years that is a lot of time saved, without much investment. It's really easy to get started with vim, get comfortable with the basics in an hour or two, and then just get better by using it every day. Then you can slowly introduce features that save you time. Just setting up fzf and ag has probably saved me several minutes a day vs. using vscode search.
It doesn't really surprise me much that lactase persistence should be so strongly selected for in a relatively short period of time. Cows and other ungulates possess a rather magical ability to turn something that can't be digested by humans (cellulose) into something that can (milk). Opening up the huge caloric and nutrient resource of cellulose to humans in a relatively replenishable way had to be a giant benefit to those who could digest milk.
I guess it's fine to hold things like dry fruit but if you pour boiling water on it, I think the risk is if that could that leach something into the water?

But you can't just remove products for fake reviews. Or else competitors will buy fake reviews for their competitors products in order to get them delisted.
This seems like a legit problem. Hopefully one that can be easily solved, but thank you for pointing it out.
File system snapshots are a system that have the analogous desired properties for files; but filesystem snapshots are actually quite heavyweight, because they deal with dirents, inodes, extents, etc. CoW filesystem snapshots are designed for ops-task-granularity usage, e.g. daily backups; not for per-transaction historical archiving. CoW filesystems tend to fall over once you get to 100K snapshots. (I tested!) A database that took a snapshot after every CQRS/ES transaction, could be expected to potentially have billions of snapshots.

A system that did its snapshots “inline” to itself, by e.g. managing a pool of pages with a free-list the way LMDB does — but where Txs ultimately add a new version to the root bucket as a snapshot, rather than replacing the root bucket page with themselves — would get a lot closer to allowing one to have at least tens-of-millions of snapshots online. At that point, to achieve a billion snapshots online, you “only” need to shard your timeline across a cluster of 100 nodes.

This is precisely one of the experiments I’m trying. :)

I support existence of Billionaires and even admire some of them, unlike the left flank of the Democratic party. However, after reading such shenanigans, I sincerely wish for a clean sweep for Democrats in the upcoming election, to be followed by an intense crackdown on all the crazy loopholes used by the ultra-rich to cheat on their partners or their governments.

Ideally, if the new crop of leaders have any balls, they would make a prominent example of some asshole (Bosarge seems to fit that profile) just to send a message to everyone else. This was one mistake Obama did, when he went easy on all the Wall St idiots responsible for the GFC.

Hah. I didn’t try, but that’s a good question.
It's not illegal but it's also not required for car manufacturers to give 3rd parties the necessary equipment/parts/documentation required to repair their cars. This allows the manufacturers to have a monopoly on repairs and parts if they want to. It's not prevalent in the automobile industry but Apple and John Deere are two companies that heavily lobby against Right to Repair.
Yeah, when it comes to capital gains I always thought it made the most sense to tax it as normal income but to index the basis against inflation.
> 3. Many people from outside the EU, even though they're not considered "white" by Westerners, look white from the outside (think of e.g. Arabs) and the differences are purely cultural. Within a few generations you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them and "white" people.

The US government officially considers Arab people to be "white". [1] Some Arab Americans disagree with this and believe they are not "white", other Arab Americans identify with the "white" label and want to keep it. The former group have been lobbying the US government to create a separate category, e.g. "Middle Eastern and North African", thus far non-successfully.

Unlike the US, I don't believe most EU countries have a formally adopted definition of "white" (the EU as a whole certainly doesn't.) But, just like in the US, it would be wrong to think there would be a single viewpoint. So the statement that Arab people are "not considered 'white' by Westerners" is a bit dubious – some Westerners no doubt think that, other Westerners actually do think Arab people are "white", yet other Westerners just don't think about the concept "white" or its definition that much at all, or think that "white" is an arbitrary category which should not be used

Beef Fat Prevents Alcoholic Liver Disease in the Rat
When your economy does not have as far to fall before it becomes tragic I guess the drop doesn't feel too bad. Iowa's pandemic response has been pathetic and between Covid Kim pushing for opening things up while the state continues to see increased growth of covid cases and a senator who claims there have only been 10K covid deaths I think Iowa has absolutely nothing to feel good about. I keep calling back to parents who are rightfully afraid to go out with the large number of maskless morons walking around town while oblivious neices and nephews enjoy house parties in Ames and Iowa City for the first week of classes.

You are less than two weeks from a peak of covid cases being diagnosed, schools are being pushed to open, and at this point it is no longer a question of whether you will see new covid diagnosis peaks by the end of the month but rather how high it will jump.

There are states that have had good responses to the pandemic, Iowa is not one of them.
why not a json store service or redis
The bell it rang for me was [1], which has come up in discussions with Patrick Walton about maintaining a sort order for coarse rasterization in 2D vector rendering. Taking another look at that, it seems like they propose both bounded k-stacks and linked lists as solutions for recording all the fragments to be combined for transparency blending, but not the hybrid of the two. I wouldn't be surprised if that's been considered.

The problem is slightly different, though, because the major focus for transparency is concurrent writing from potentially many different shaders, while in the stack case each thread can build its data structure without any concurrency or need for atomics; once an aggregate is built, it is "published" (see my prefix sum blog for details on that) and treated as immutable.

These kinds of concurrent approaches do become important for later stages in the JSON parsing process, like building hashmaps for keys in a dictionary. I'm pretty sure the whole problem is tractable and have thoughts how to solve it, but deliberately kept the scope of this blog post limited, as I figured it was challenging enough. But it's very cool to reach people who appreciate the ideas, and if you find anything else that's relevant, I'd love to hear from you.
