> Why shouldn't everyone churn their own butter? Why shouldn't everyone sew their own clothes?

Selling pre-made butter or clothes doesn't prevent someone from making their own if the pre-made one doesn’t fit their needs.

In technology, making your own is often outright impossible due to proprietary APIs

In a lot of cases the inefficiency of the official implementation is a feature for the developer and they definitely do not want people to build more efficient clients (examples: no ads/irrelevant content, defaulting to chronological feed instead of algorithmic, etc) and use technical (and sometimes legal, like abusing copyright law) workarounds to make the process as difficult as possible.
It sure didn't change much (if we're talking about the same dialog). This is a video of adding a printer in 2009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe0QE9oEp0A

And this is a more in depth video for Ubuntu 18 with a more polished interface but not very different https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGz1RUqCzkI

They don't look complicated to me.

Then there is the hard way. Check at 4:00 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En2DJAMpwmY
> Then on some random spring day, our government makes a new rule

It's not a new rule; Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.
ah yes, a core traditional Apple constituency being photographers, clearly good printing support is unnecessary. /s
Sure. But they're powerful enough that they can run higher-level languages these days, and it lowers the barrier to entry for people wanting to do hardware projects which is pretty cool.
Last time I checked, the printer dialog will first ask you what protocol to use to talk to the printer.

It lists a few common options, such as JetDirect, PCL, TCP/IP, etc. Whatever. Doesn't really matter, it's just poor UX. Most end users have no idea what any of this means and don't know what to pick. You'd possibly find out in the printer manual, though mine didn't specify what protocols it understood very clearly, it was written in Appendix B or something and not in the index at the back.

In most cases, you now enter the hostname or IP of the printer to add. While sometimes necessary on Windows, autodiscover on linux is still a shitshow and doesn't work except for HP printers. (Laser HP in Color is expensive).

On Windows, the very same printer that took me 30 minutes to setup after I wrangled it through the initial setup dialogue, took all of 20 seconds to setup; "Settings" -> "Devices" -> "Add Device" -> "Lexmark Printer". Done. It printed perfectly fine.

On the other hand, my printer to this day cannot print directly from firefox through CUPS. Only from other PDF viewers.

edit: from what I can see in a sibling comment, the add printer dialog in gnome is the same it has always been atleast up to Ubuntu 18.04, unless they made radical changes to Ubuntu 20.04 to the add printer dialog, which I don't think is the case since I haven't heard about any larger printer-related changes in 20.04
I'll put to you what I put to Bostrom in my analysis further downthread: What, exactly, do you think we should be doing which we aren't currently doing? Everything he implies that we should be working on, we are working on.
Wikipedia[1] both corroborates and disagrees;

> A RISC is a computer with a small, highly optimized set of instructions

but later:

> The term "reduced" in that phrase was intended to describe the fact that the amount of work any single instruction accomplishes is reduced—at most a single data memory cycle—compared to the "complex instructions" of CISC CPUs that may require dozens of data memory cycles in order to execute a single instruction

This is probably the biggest problem. Trust in government due to bad decisions and outright lies is eroding rapidly. Worldwide. In a few months, the willingness to cooperate from citizens will be almost zero. Rightly so. If I catch someone lying for his own benefit, or not telling the truth because they think I am too stupid to understand, why should I ever listen to anything from the same person/orga again?

In short: yes.

BUT maybe it does not matter that much for some projects and a lot of people can write some logic in js a lot faster than in C (or C++ or Rust or..).

Also, there are a lot of people who know only js and would like to "play" with some LED, fetching room temperatures, opening closing doors etc - this is a nice way to start.

CUPS is amazing. My old HP printer (no longer supported in Windows) works in Linux, but it also works from Windows, and even from iOS devices via AirPrint. This is something that's impossible in any other printing system that I know of. Whoever took CUPS this far has my eternal gratitude.
In his official statement[0], the campaign stated that the meeting didn’t happen as the second clause of a sentence that began with the contextual announcement that they had reviewed his official schedule. There is an implicit dependency in those two halves of the same sentence. If you think that is just a casual wordsmithing mistake you have no idea how PR works. I guarantee that is carefully crafted. The release went on to say that they do not exclude the possibility that some informal meeting may have taken place.

I dislike this whole "we must keep adding features and doing things" culture. Some things like CUPS or the DWM window manager have reached a point where there is nothing more to do because it does everything it is supposed to do.

I was thinking, for example, one person's right to freedom from violent crime over another person's right to not be put on trail again for the same crime.

Agreed.
Literally the first line of the website makes it clear:

But this is how it's always been, before the web people got their news from a different set of media companies NBC/ABC/CBS. 20th century media conglomerates didn't have the problem of having to censor viral user generated content but they were still censors, and much stricter censors than the social media companies because their channels had more limited information bandwidth so they had to be much more selective about what to broadcast.
Keep in mind that in physics is term, this is correct. You can optimize electric grids than a very hard usually (historically this was combinatorial optimization problem). When PDAs started becoming a hit, Apple was working on the newton, another company, General Magic, was basically created anti JVM with programming lang called Telescript and very desktop oriented MagicCap which would have empowered users to probably eventually create apps. General Magic was very innovative. Java/JVM was heavily defined in the research community in Sun (which was very innovative before Solaris lost out to the more free). Then Sun eventually after failing to monetize the JVM, was bought by Oracle. Oracle sued Google because they had used Apache Harmony (a open source JVM). For a while Oracle did nothing with Java and it feels like they were trying to milk it for $.

It was basically an implicitly defined user driven decentralized JVM allowing users to create their own messages. Keep in mind these were very different days. In the semiconductor world, it was a battle between Intel and it's clones (IP). In the mobile world, things were still using more primitive microcontrollers for the most part. It was still a telecommunications problem before multiple parties in the IEEE started cooperating and fixing error codes. I guess depending on you age, you can also think about this way, It was a physicists who inspired the to justify it for energy saving reasons, but it in networking terms, these were still days of AOL sending everyone cds. Eventually AOL bought Time for their content. Keep in mind that initially the iphone didn't allow for external apps to be intended, TeleScirpt tried to empower humans and developers alike, and the company, General Magic was basically spun off of old Apple. Apple almost run out of money before buying NeXT.

It feels like to me the it could possible be that Apple could have never created the iphone in the first place, or a more innoative erlier era MagicCap which did actually go out of business but great ideas with a green minded initilaized. There was no cloud back then, but there was a mini-cloud that TeleScript was designed for. It allowed any user numbers to basically upgrade the "tele phone numbers" with a tele-e-address where multiple people could basically implementation a needed set of services via this type of messaging system, which eventually could a have turned into a app into a desktop (this was the original skewmorphic dsign). Google didn't even exist at the time. I remember google beta, and even formation of the company barely escaped the com cash. I keep in mind this triangle in my head (it will be a linear standard norm triangle). The Google::Oracle lawsuit seems to be about two third party corporations allow a computation vs composition of apps by other stacks of other apps. Which one do you value more the value of that law suits numbers, the energy savings, or any combination by combinating some number of names the google::apple::sun::oracle::general magic. W️
This doesn't really look much different from how Japan has always operated:

1. Have a set of trusted high level people and reward loyalty above all else.

2. Have an army of collective, group-minded people who will buy into and follow your creed. (From the article: “We only have people in the group who share our vision. But if you don’t share the vision, please go somewhere else.”, which is similar to The Sony Way and Toyota's approach in the 70s, all the way back to the daimyo in the middle ages).

3. Give your army the feeling that you'll take care of them for life.

4. Find out what the competition is doing and copy them, only better. (From the article: For example, rivals must be monitored daily, and when one differentiates itself in the market, a GMO company must match it within a day or two).

5. Have mantras, rituals, etc to keep an air of mysticism to the leadership and their cause.

This has been Japan's MO since medieval times, and it works in Japan because that's part of the personality of their country. Every other country has its own personality, and thus its own optimal way of doing things. Sometimes it gives them an international edge, sometimes it doesn't.

I dont understand why would anyone wear this. It is less annoying regarding look than Apple earphones (that look like in-ear cigarette, I am still unable to get used to someone wearing them). I cant remember when it was last time I have seen someone wearing such a large piece of earrings - except maybe some old lady.

Is this just a prototype and you can make them smaller? Probably not as you need that part over the ear channel to hide the transparent tube, like with hearing aid, right?
At first, this sounds like the familiar blues of “I got bit by an immutable reference to a mutable object”, but something seems...off. Const in JS is an immutable reference that doesn't change the mutability of the value referenced, so an object will be mutable though you can't reassign a different object.

By JS strings are immutable, and String.prototype.replace doesn't modify in place, it returns a fresh string. So, this shouldn't be possible as described.
It's just a small site that has been out there for some time. I kicked out any analytics for good some time ago, so I do not have any reliable data myself. There have been times with hyped content collecting millions of hits in a few days, but those have been years ago. (Then, this only resulted in offers for buying the domain, for, what I can only guess to be business of varying trustworthy.) I added a blog two years ago with rather infrequent post activity. The content is quite specialized and probably far from general interest. Ad revenue from a few Google adds sprinkled here and there is about nil. Currently, Google search stats indicates varying performance from 1 to 1.5 M impressions and about 20 to 30 K clicks at the beginning of the year and a rather steep decline towards the summer. (Only estimated pages with first impression are slightly up. I've actually no idea what these figures do indicate nowadays, whether there's anything noticeable about them or not.) Ironically, the mails started, when the performance was going down. (Full disclosure: https://www.masswerk.at/)
The solution is decentralized, verifiable forms of authority. Not unelected, unaccountable corporations that selectively (and with repeated obvious bias) choose what is “true.” Especially not YouTube, of all places, who has about as much authority as McDonalds, as far as I’m concerned.

That’s it. No attempt to have a single source of authoritative information is going to work post-Internet. The cat is already out of the bag. This model of the world is outdated and needs to be put out to pasture.

The idea of an arbiter of what is and isn't free speech is deeply repulsive to me. So is cough medicine. So is chemotherapy. I can't see every cell of the cancer but collectively, there's enough of it visible to shake me. Do you kill the poison with a lesser poison? Depends on your level of concern, I suppose.

Philosophically, I'm in a weird place right now to be honest. If you told me that our country was going to round up all propagandists, science deniers, and white supremacists and throw them in jail based on hard evidence of purposeful misinformation or credible threat -- regardless of how those things are defined and by whom -- I think I would respond, "k"

I acknowledge that I would be resolute in lazily ruining people's lives based on a perceived threat to the greater good out of some longing to be bored again. That's scary to me.

I'm a nerd, wholly driven by logic (to this point), and I can feel the boundaries of its apogee being prodded. It's not just the country that's sick -- my ideologies are also under the weather.

The tl;dr answer would be that personally, I'd be fine with banning Holocaust denial or the promotion of terrorism because at the end of the day, I'm just a everyday liberal software engineer. Neither of those bans would ever apply to me.

That is, unless someone decided to attack me with false or shaky accusations. Therein lies the problem, eh? But what's the alternative? There's no winning.
Unfortunately that does not work. When one group plays by the rules, and the other doesn't - the one that doesn't will constantly win.

See current election year Supreme Court nomination.
A programming language is just an abstraction (built on other abstraction, typically) of turning transistors on and off. JavaScript is most often run in a runtime like v8, but you could build alternate runtimes or event a compiler to target some VM bytecode or an architecture.

One of the things that makes interfacing with hardware (as a software engineer) joyful is having your toolsets match your expectations and mental models of how you want your solution to work. JavaScript was built as a language for interfaces and what is hardware? It’s a physical interface. I personally don’t find it totally unsuited for microcontrollers.

I don't think it's that we lack measurements, it's that it is very objective. I am used to Android and when I tried an iPhone, I couldn't get it to work because I didn't know all the little tips and tricks despite many Apple fans saying that "clearly" the iPhone UX was the most superior.

The truth is that there is probably not much in the UX that is fundamentally better or worse apart from the animation side of things and possibly the higher res screens in some instances, most of it is just different.
Just how we like it.

Show HN: Voice Chat for Remote Developers
Zoom is not a solution. We need WebRTC based End-to-End encrypted solutions. I am a Node developer who is pondering on starting such a thing. Reply to me if you want to get involved.
What are you talking about?! Don’t blame social media, the biggest and loudest source of COVID-related misinformation have been institutions like the WHO.

There is very little science (we don’t yet have enough data, and not enough time has passed), so all we have to go on is “broscience” (smartly connecting anecdotal facts and whatever little data we have, and drawing sensible conclusions). By designating one opinion as “officially correct science”, YouTube is seriously damaging humanity.
Hello fellow HN,

For the past month I have been working on a communication tool for remote developers. I like to think of it like Discord but for work.

For context, since the pandemic, my company have been more flexible in term of working remotely. Although we do use tools like Microsoft Teams to communicate with each other, I still feel that there are something missing.

In an office environment, If I have a question for my team members, I can just hop into his desk with my laptop and have a chat. This sort of interaction is a bit hard to replicate online with existing tool. I think because the act of "calling" someone makes it a barrier to have this sort of small chats. That's why I created https://www.inoffice.chat.

What makes Inoffice different is that there is no "call" concept. If you see someone you want to talk to you can just hop into his "desk" and start talking. You can also see who your other team member are talking to and join in if you want.

I'm hoping by reducing the barrier of initiating a conversation with your team member, it can promote you to talk more with your team members.

Any feedback is welcome.

Thank You!

Can the victims of scam get their money back? Yes, if you have fallen victim to scam from an unregulated investment platform or any scam at ll then are eligible to recover what was stolen from you and this can only happen if this is reported to the right people. With the right approach and with evidence, you will get what you lost back. Those behind these unregulated platforms will likely want to sell the idea that what happened to your investment was an unfortunate occurrence when in reality what happened was theft via elaborate means. If you are a victim or you know any one who is a victim of these occurrences, you should know there are people who can help you. Simply search (corecrypto tech-cryptocurrency recovery) on google just the way it is in that bracket. It is never too late if you have the right information, your sanity can be restored.
