We used to use .so domain actively for our business, but fortunately we acquired .com and moved. We still utilized the .so domain for some internal tools.

One day, out of the blue, the authority started refusing any requests towards the domain. We tried to contacting them, but nothing. It took a week for the domain to come back. If this was our main domain, I think we would be not in business anymore.
yeah, sometimes I feel that the FS template is an overkill that's why I delete prompts often. Maybe it's a good idea to create a "simple decision" template.
I've read somewhere that AT&T is only doing this as part of an deal for the approval of the Dish Networks sale. So they will just upgrade only the place that make economic sense and only to the degree needed to satisfy that deal.

Up until about 6 months ago I woulda agreed with you but in the last 6 months all my brother printers have had odd connection issues, something about the driver changed and now I need to restart the print spooler each time I want to print something.

Not uncommon - rental buildings are almost all like this (building owner get's a cut / provides one option).

Commercial buildings similar but usually one preferred and pre-wired, but if you are negotiating for a floor etc you can get what you want.

HOA's etc generally don't like new holes in walls especially common walls. So generally one preferred.

Update: It was indefensible, and Apple has already reversed course. It's a shame it sometimes takes twitter outcry for the right thing to happen, but at least the right thing happened.

This seem indefensible at first blush. The app has been available as-is for years, so if the explanation given him is correct, it's a really bad look for Apple.

My question is more like -- what's the next big thing? We've had laser printers forever, and the under-$100 Brother ones are just awesome for a home printer. But nothing has really changed in years. Color laser has gotten cheaper, I guess. But is that it? Is that the pinnacle of printing?
Ask yourself: What is the best hardware on the planet with the worst software?

LABEL PRINTING

I realized a few years ago that, if my clients fired me, I’d have to go get a “real job.” My expertise has been Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT), and I became pretty good with hardware integration UI/UX. That’s when I asked myself the question above.

I learned React/Electron and built a solution named Label LIVE. Check it out at https://label.live.

This side-hustle has been a HUGE challenge and helps augment my consulting income.

Do you have to print Avery sheets with dynamic data? Don’t want to mail merge? Copy/paste got you down? Want to use your Zebra printer on a Mac? These simple things were incredibly difficult a few years ago...

My app has tons of fun features powered by the JavaScript ecosystem: USB, Fonts, Barcodes, Excel/CSV integration, dithering via WASM, PDF generation, etc.

It may not be the most memory efficient app, but it lets you get your printing done so you can focus on something else.

Label printing was a dumpster fire. Users expect a high-stress stinky mess. If I can make it 50% better I’ve succeeded in my goal. There’s still a ton of work to do... I just need to make time for it.

p.s. Do you know another hardware industry that needs better software? Get in touch!

China's law does not apply, at least not easily, to a foreign citizens acting on a foreign soil, thus the Chinese company providing service would mean huge legal hazard for them, which is not the case for chinese citizen, where the contract entered between two chinese entities are protected under Chinese law and can be argued on a court of that jurisdiction.
Most simple queries won't benefit much from hand-coded SQL and it's always there for the minority of the ones that do.

And again, there is the middle ground of writing something like custom HQL that returns an object(s) of interest.

Again, there is a huge amount of error-prone boilerplate that is avoided simply by doing that, the next time you add a column you don't have to chase down 27 different hand-coded functions manually populating one field at a time.

My children know what cancer is. Progress on cancer prevention and treatment has been a slow grind with only slight improvements in survival rates year by year. I'll bet you that 100 years from now cancer will still be one of the top 5 leading causes of death.

Question for an aeronautical engineer: Can you take the engine nacelle of an airplane and rotate it vertically?

So instead of being horizontal, can it be vertical, where the exhaust points down? Or does the engine need the compression and air velocity from the forward motion of the plane to compress and ignite the oxygen?
> Not being able to use the phone cuts you of from a lot of services where no option exists.

Nah, it really doesn't when compared to something like getting banned from facebook.

I make way more video calls with people than I make phone calls. And probably around 50% of my communication is done over FB message.

It would be way less of a problem to get banned from making phone calls for me and for many other people.
Can you easily serialize/deserialize the game state with your ECS system? I haven't looked closely at it.

If it were possible, your iteration times could be ridiculously low. Play the game until the bossfight you're iterating on. Dump it out to disk. Edit the code, recompile and run from saved state in a couple of seconds? That sounds amazing.

Unity has pretty good edit and continue for simple stuff, but it quickly falls apart once you start doing non trivial things.
Yep. I have this one. It was $89 before COVID WFH drove prices up on home office equipment.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LZS5EEI

I have not even had to replace the toner in it. It stays asleep the vast majority of the time and wakes on WiFi. I print directly from my phone or laptop wirelessly. It is everything a home printer should be.
Fixed wing aircraft must have air moving along the wings in order for them to generate lift. In other words, the aircraft must always be moving through the air. If its speed drops below some minimum value, it will stall and drop out of the sky like a rock. This is also why they need runways in order to take off. They need to accelerate to a minimum speed in order to even get airborne.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

Rotary wing aircraft use their engines to constantly move the wings through the air instead of moving the aircraft itself. So the wings are always generating lift and the aircraft is free to move in much more flexible patterns. A very useful maneuver is hovering in place: the aircraft is able to simply hold its position in the air. Since only the wings need to move to generate lift, the aircraft itself does not need to accelerate in order to take off and therefore a long runway is not necessary.

Civilian drones usually have rotary wings because this allows people to do useful things like having the drone stay in one place in order to film or photograph something. A fixed wing aircraft would have to establish a loitering pattern around an area in order to do the same thing. In other words, rotary wings can just hover in place while a fixed wing would have to fly around in circles.

Fixed wing aircraft are more fuel efficient. Rotary wing aircraft must constantly spend fuel in order to keep their wings spinning. They lose lift otherwise. A fixed wing aircraft would probably be able to glide great distances and even land safely even if it lost all engines in the middle of its flight.
Frankly, color laser printers that would print a decent photo cost a lot, and the quality is but decent, not perfect.

An inkjet which can do justice to a photo is also usually not as cheap, its inks cost like French perfume (and sometimes there are 6 of them, not 4), and you also need to use expensive photo-quality paper. This allows you to have really great photos. Using such a device for printing business documents or school handouts is wasting it.

So yes, go with a laser, a color laser if you need, and just take your photo printing to a good lab, they usually have one of these inkjet beasts anyway.
It's generally hard to add breakpoints in production. OTOH most logging systems aren't set up for dynamic contextual reconfiguration, a place could have a competitive advantage over debuggers with a bit of effort.

IME I find it easier to deal with modifications to code than configuration in IDEs, precisely because I can identify diffs and if desired commit the modifications to source control on my own branch. I frequently debug things like third-party libraries (e.g. Ruby gems by adding my rvm gemset) to a git repo to track my modifications.

It's generally harder to export and import breakpoints from an IDE. They are usually driven by line numbers, which aren't particularly stable over code changes.
Lunch Money founder here! Thanks for flagging :) My guess is that it was definitely inspired by Lunch Money as the founders here have reached out to me before about liking my branding.

I did not use any stock illustrations for our logo– the idea was thought up by me and subsequently digitally illustrated by me also. I've had my logo/branding both partly and fully copied time and time again, and while seeing this is a bit annoying, I'd chalk it up to "heavy inspiration" over out-right copying. That being said, Leave Me Alone is doing great stuff in a different space and I am rooting for their success.
That's not true of fixed-wing drones. I've seen fixed-wing drones, made of really cheap parts, just act like helicopters. Hover, translate in arbitrary horizontal directions, VTOL, etc. I dunno if they were "flying backwards", but they did reverse flight direction. I think it's mostly just a matter of power-to-weigh ratio, which small aircraft have in spades.
And the really nice thing about Brother is there's none of this "500mb universal printer driver" shit. Want just the printer driver? 10 mb. Want linux drivers? Here's CUPS drivers. They sell you a printer, here's drivers that work, end of story.

I adore (and have always adored) my Brother B+W lasers and am thinking about one of the color lasers one of these days, especially now that I am living at home instead of having access to a Xerox network copier at work (we are allowed reasonable personal usage of office supplies, no worries).

The Brother fan club is loud and for very good reason.

In contrast (I had a brother B+W at home) I owned an HP color laser for my office at school, and nope, never again, the driver package was fucking terrible and while I could usually get it to work after some finangling, it was constantly a pain. Literally threw it in the trash and got a B+W brother MFC instead even though that was a "step down".
Right, not quantity in that sense, but as a fraction of the working product expected of you.

I have known a couple of people who fussed and fussed with little chunks of code until they were little gems, but always missed the big picture and missed deadlines. I have also known a few whose instinct was to write a framework first, and that takes a life of its own; the most egregious one was a CLOS (common lisp) style system using C macros. Debugging was a nightmare.
Hmm, I was hoping it would help with pronunciation, visualizing the difference between saying "da" and "ba" etc but it doesn't seem to be sufficiently fine-grained for that

Only job I was ever fired from - it was a temp job. Mortgage comps in the early 90s. Printing was the slowest part of the process. I installed a print spooler and was 3x more productive than peers and boss.

I was fired for “installing unsanctioned software”. Yet a friend’s brother was a muckity there and heard what happened and wanted to hire me full time - this was a summer part time job. I said nope. Had fun being the right hand for a chemical engineer at one of the local refineries and learned a lot more.
Powered lift aircraft will be unable to provide widespread personal door-to-door aviation. Even if the flight control, endurance, and regulatory problems can be solved they can't safely take off or land anywhere near trees, tall buildings, or overhead power lines.
You're entirely mischaracterising my comments.
Don't forget that the volume of the device has a cost too. The video shows the construction of a really really nice, but takes up the whole hallway outside that room. Most of the time you'd probably prefer to use your hallway for walking in. On the other hand, maybe your house has an attic above one of your rooms that; there will be a lot less opportunity cost to using up that volume.

Even nukes? Do H-bombs generate a lot of fallout?
Why do fresnel reflectors seem to be so hard to find? Seems like they’d be a good option here.
I don't think it's sending my printouts, because I don't think they have any use for them. But I do think it's phoning home as a precondition to print in order to get me to buy more ink at the right times. I've never bought anything from HP since that happened.
Better for programmers. We typically prefer working with csv files rather than Excel files. Most of our processing would be in code anyway so the extra features of Excel is just in the way.

I have actually personally never understood the point of Excel. Writing code in Excel is just more hassle than real code anyway IMHO.
I had that problem. Then I realized that it is just a generic pcl printer and any driver will work. I do have to manually change the queue from binary_p1 to pcl_p1, but other than that it just works. (there are other queues in the printer for postscript and the like, the printer info page lists them all.
The existence of computers that are out of reach for everyone except massive corporations and universities is a very weird definition of cool. Computers are cooler than ever. They're so cool they subsumed much of popular culture including the uncool people, but don't be fooled the cutting edge of cool is still happening on computers.

Because companies are really good at optimizing and the outcomes are usually bad behavior that is not-yet legislated. It's a cat and mouse game. Much better to have a plethora of competition so that the competitive market provides the tight feedback loop. With wireless carriers the MVNO rules mean that I can shop around and jump ship pretty easily. I just switched providers a couple of months ago.

Look at PG&E. They're badly behaved but also highly regulated.
I experimented a bit with the source code at https://github.com/tuttlepower/VotingMap , you can add an area correction by changing the line

fillOpacity: (us_votes[i].total_votes / 59828),

to something like

fillOpacity: (us_votes[i].total_votes / (59828 * 50 * (feature.properties.AREALAND / 5.195e10))),

But I think in practice, this effect is swamped by the "upper fence" effect described in the original post. In other words, the scale is very far from linear anyway, by changing the magic number 59828 above you can make it look dramatically different. I should really calculate what the (Q3 + 1.5 * IQR) value is, but above I just put in a "* 50" to make the overall impression of the map similar.

I wish them success but this is unlikely to be commercially viable. The trouble with flying cars is that the design compromises prevent them from flying or driving very well. When potential customers see the high price and performance limitations they will decide to purchase a cheaper, higher performance regular airplane instead. And then just rent a car at the destination airport FBO.
The comment I was replying to was referring to photos, not tax returns. I file taxes electronically, in fact almost every legal document I've had to print in years has been done electronically.

But if you are worried about that, this thread is about having laser printers which are quite good at leaving in the closet so you can print your annual tax returns.
I hope you stick around, mainly because I hope someone will say that to me one day. I mean it too.
Apparently, the author of this blog post had a change of heart:

https://memo.barrucadu.co.uk/blub-crisis.html

> I have realised in recent conversations about programming languages, and in reflection of my very negative and kind of arrogant blog post about Go, that I have become trapped by the Blub Paradox. I have become dismissive of non-Haskell languages. I think in Haskell. Languages less powerful than Haskell are obviously too limited to get any real work done in, and languages with more advanced features than Haskell (like dependent types) are really just weird and not actually solving a problem I would ever face.

> The arrogance! Such a know-it-all!

> I have decided to call such a realisation a “Blub Crisis”. Haskell is my Blub. The only solution is to become proficient—actually proficient—in a different language, and once again learn a new way of thinking.

H-bombs use fission to start the fusion, so I'd guess that the amount of fallout is not much different. In any case, the test ban treaty would probably prevent the use of nukes.
Lol! I bought a Brother laser printer for $100. Prints automatic full duplex. Joins to my WiFi and hardwired Ethernet. Plugged it in and every computer in the house printed to it immediately. My PHONE prints to it flawlessly. GTFO printer complainer! You have no idea how bad it used to be!

Yes, this is the answer. I'm looking at a HP LaserJet 1320N next to my desk that is yellow with age and it still manages to smash out B&W pages at a solid clip. I think it's close to 16 years old and I've bought exactly 3 ink refills.
Not having to worry about weather on the return leg could be a huge benefit. Most private pilots are not IFR rated and in many parts of the country weather can be a major problem, getting stuck somewhere is not fun and can lead to poor decisions, especially with passengers.

It's unclear if that will justify the cost though.
HN weigh in: What do you think dies first: HTML or UTF-8?
I wonder this as well, perhaps it's a problem related to manufacturing shrinking sized concentric steps?

If my understanding is correct, fresnel lenses effectively operate as a larger lense surface by concentrating light with flat or curved steps getting smaller in size packed towards the core.
Macros or pure Rust is more verbose? I could parse your last sentence either way.
