But the RSS feeds are just the headlines. And also don't contain every article ever - only the latest ones with a limit. So not much use to News Sniffer.
I wonder if you could make a better fresnel version, with less chromatic aberration by using a more expensive lens? The parabolic version is cool, but extremely unwieldily...

Also, are there fresnel lenses with a much shorter focal length? The dream would be to have something like this in a ≈ 10 cm (4 in) thick picture frame hung on the wall...

High-end ink is fine, just expensive. Both for the printer, AND for the inks.

You cannot reproduce photo-quality prints with just 4 colors (cmyk). Your high-end photo-level printers use 10 or 12 inks, with far higher resolution than a typical $200 Brother printer.

But if you're only doing office work / text / etc. etc., laser is great. Even mild graphics (diagrams mainly) work out fine with laser prints.

--------

The typical $200 ink printer however, is complete garbage.
Basically anything that historically falls under common carrier regs. None of this debate is new. We saw it with railroads.

Natural monopolies need counterbalancing regulation. This isn't even remotely a controversial statement in economics.
thats a scenario im definitely thinking about :)
I had to buy the first printer I’d ever owned this year due to switching to wfh indefinitely. Got the Brother HL-1110 just since it was the cheapest laser printer available here. It is a ridiculously austere and brutalist design, it really feels like they were optimizing out every penny on the BOM. It should be utter trash. In practice it prints fast, with good quality, and I have not had any trouble with it. It’s like the Citroen 2CV of printers.

So I find it hard to believe that printers really suck. Even the worst case was actually quite wonderful.

Android is an open OS where vendors can and do customize their own vision of Android. It stands alone as the only open source mobile success.

In fact, because vendors often make tasteless changes to the mobile OS experience, Vanilla Android is a selling point for Google phones. That Google pays for app-specific security infrastructure and deals with abuse claims is a service which Google provides.

Google should be no more required to spend money supporting BitChute than Apple should be required to support Fortnite; and even Walmart ought be able to quit on a vendor for the mere reason that Walmart feels the good isn't "good enough" for their standards.

> If android were like windows and the main distribution channel for apps were the web it would be very different.

Whether or not the web is the main distribution channel for Windows is a story completely up for grabs, and Microsoft is leaning toward their store.
Super excited to see many websites exploring alternatives to the traditional services.

I'm wondering if there's a way to extend this concept so that you could hear singers "after" you if the delay is not significant (e.g. maybe you can hear everyone within 15-30ms). That would mean the leader might not have to go it entirely alone. For example, if I ping vultr from SF I get 4ms latency (tested this a while back) meaning it would be theoretically possible to have some simultaneous singing with a low-latency server. The bucket brigade approach could then be used to extend participation to those with greater geographical distance or poor connections.

One party has the numbers they need because they need those numbers to be competitive in the current system and have made whatever concessions they needed to to achieve them. If the demographics changed then the parties would adapt so that again they both just barely have what they need. The parties would adapt by campaigning to different groups of voters or changing their policies to attract the other party's voters. It's a waste of resources and concessions to gain more voters than are useful for winning.
In your benchmarks of insertion/add/remove[1] you use different units of time for each of the three graphs. I didn't notice until staring at them for some time wondering what was up.

Algae pool, in the context of a list that contains "balanced nutri*nt? foods", is probably a food based in Spirulina. A green algae used in aquaculture. This seems to me like a check list [1] to assure that he didn't forgot anything after leaving a zone.

Is relevant because the man has been most probably poisoned. It was not a fast poison and it was painful but not too alarming. Not a bee, a wasp or a Bothrops. A plant or fungus, yes, could fit.

Is not suicide and terminal illness in my opinion. Nobody dies by starvation in presence of food.

But there is a third category that I was missing. Your own food. A too old Spirulina package can be contaminated and lead to slow poisoning. Emaciated in the context of plenty of food around and plenty of money means that he was deliberately refusing to eat while resting in the tent, this is a common effect of food poisoning.

[1] Speculating "Roach motel" can be an humorous surname for their tent. Nanites could be some kind of "armour", clothes or boots maybe.
Video is a great additional tool for the communication of ideas or learning. But it is an additional tool. I much, much prefer the written word for communicating ideas about code and technical concepts. I cannot stand videos about programming topics, and I'm frustrated by how frequently they're the definitive source on a topic. They do not feel as effective for me.

While I understand why others might like videos, I really hope they stop catching on so hard. Especially with a facecam.

One of the beauties of programming is that I can function with a bunch of fellow ugly nerds who don't make me show my ugly face just to get work done.
Atomic bombs, yes. World wars... I guess you could make that argument, but it's a stretch. There were basically world wars in antiquity.

Atomic bombs also pretty much put an end to world wars.
In my opinion, "creating a coding tutorial" and "creating/updating documentation" are two things that seem conflated here when they're very different workflows.

I wouldn't ever prefer to create a video tutorial rather than just write out documentation. It's just too far from my workflow (maybe that's just me).

I can, however, see how something like this would be extremely valuable to people who are instructing others on how to write code (DevX, bootcamp instructors, people who do video coding tutorials). I think that "Document your code just by hitting 'record'" is overselling that value though.
For the one I have set up now, it’s just a standard valve on 1.25” tubing and I’ve hooked a cheap rotary solenoid up in place of the handle. Belt and braces but works reliably.

Flow meters I can’t yet comment on - haven’t yet played around with anything - although it’s easy enough to take lps data and integrate that in grafana or whatever for reporting - I’m currently doing so for our PV system, watts in and out etc.
I just installed pulseeffects today because I wanted to have a noise-gate and compressor on my microphone for work (whereas I use lv2 plugins with JACK on my personal machine).

The "app" and "mic" both showed up as outputs and I couldn't figure out how to make zoom use the "pulse effects mic" and then I realized it was just haphazardly hijacking the actual mic rather than letting me pick it as a separate output. And pulseeffects needs to stay in a window running to work, with no minimize to tray option that I could tell?

Felt useful if you only needed it running sometimes in certain scenarios, but felt like it didnt fit my use case, or I was definitely missing something.

> I think there's some rose-colored glasses effect going on here

That may be anecdotal based on brand and model. I can agree with you in this case because I've got the Brother DCP-L2540DW. I got it on sale for $99 CAD (~$75 USD) when it was still the newest model available. I'm using the stock cartridge still, though I have a refill purchased and ready to go in case it's not possible to buy one when the original powder runs out.

This line of Brother printers is indeed good. It's impossible to say whether this applies generally to any laser printer, or to any Brother laser printer, or if we were simply lucky to have picked up these particular models.
A somewhat lighter-weight approach with PulseAudio (vs running full-blown PulseEffects) can be achieved through the use of ladspa-sink plugins, as described briefly on the Arch wiki for dynamic range compression https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Steve_Harris...

Using "plugin=sc4_1882 label=sc4 control=1,1.5,401,-30,20,5,12", I am generally able to smooth things out pretty well.

> HP soon decreased the quality of their printers to increase faults

I often hear such claims of planned obsolescence and while I won't put it past companies to do it, they feel a bit too conspiratorial to me. Are there any documented cases / exposes of companies doing this, as opposed to just making lower quality stuff because it is cheap?

I am talking of deliberate planned obsolescence, and not of things like the iPhone battery scandal where Apple throttled the speed of devices to prevent sudden shut-offs.
This is simply untrue. The 538 models are calibrated against a lot of previous real-world outcomes.
I was shocked that login.gov even allows Yubikeys. Wish more banks would follow their lead.

The main problem with this sort of hybrid approach is that building a system for absolutely minimizing latency vs a system for absolutely predictable latency looks very different.

For example, if you want predictable latency you use large buffers, while if you want minimal latency you use tiny ones.

> Natural monopolies need counterbalancing regulation. This isn't even remotely a controversial statement in economics.

Unless your argument is that the Austrian and Chicago schools of economics doesn't actually exist, this is quite wrong, since the Austrian school denies the existence of natural monopoly and argues that harmful monopoly can only exist as a product of government regulation, and the Chicago school likewise holds that absent regulation, monopoly is a transient condition, not a stable one; both favor removing regulations that they see as stabilizing harmful monopolies, rather than regulating to manage naturally-formed-and-self-stabilizing monopolies, which they don't acknowledge the existence of.

Now, I think the Chicago/Austrian positions on monopolies are wrong, but you really can't reasonably deny that this is a fundamental area of controversy.
about.... 15 years ago, I had an idea for allowing embedding of multimedia files with commits. svn was the thing at the time, and eclipse and netbeans were the dominant players. I had 0 idea about how to build something like that, but it seemed useful. still does. even now, we end up, sometimes, writing comments in pull requests which may correspond to particular lines in particular files, but we can't easily connect anything else. Perhaps some metadata format for comments could be defined and IDE plugins could make fetch the media... ?

OFTEN I want some form of "stream of consciousness" thoughts associated with code - "spoke with Titus and Jen about this, and the loop needs to be broken up because foobar...". most of the time if I embed comments like that, someone blocks a PR or just rips them out in the name of "cleanliness", then 3 years later people are wondering "why was this done this way?"

I imagine you could just still just use "Unit XYZ" or whatever.

>you still have to have a TV License even if you only use iPlayer.

Yes, that's correct - they changed the law a few years ago (previously it only applied to Live TV, using iPlayer was exempt from a TV License)

>How they would detect that I'm not sure (maybe the van can sniff https traffic /s)

I don't think they do anything with it yet, but when they do I'm pretty sure they'll take their log data of IPs accessing programme content from their CDN and ask the corresponding UK ISPs to identify if any of those accesses were from people at (list of addresses without a license) and issue a warning, and then request their details to bring them to court if they keep using it. I'm sure the ISPs will be willing to help them, and even as a privacy advocate I can't say I'd be bothered by this - those people are using a service they have not paid for.

It does seem like it'd be easier to simply require that you pay for your TV License through your BBC account, though, since that blocks anybody on a VPN who doesn't hold a license.

>but is there a streaming service that has the BBC's content without the license?

BBC does license their content worldwide, and there's a strange relationship with BBC America - so if you're wanting to access it legally outside the UK that's your best approach. Within the UK, Netflix certainly has a (limited, but good) number of BBC programmes licensed.
I assume both the "personal opinion" and "LLC" stuff is an attempt to shield himself from defamation claims (I'm not saying it's going to work, but you can't sue someone for a statement of opinion, and, maybe he believes that, were any suit to be filed, it'd have to be against his asset-bare LLC).

So let me get this straight.

You tried to refute two widely-reported statements without doing any research at all. I guess this illustrates my point.

Reporters widely discussed that Biden was a bad candidate because of his memory lapses starting around 2018, then dropped the issue once he became the nominee. (Glenn Greenwald on Joe Rogan's podcast last week.)

The Democrats nominated a candiate incapable of leading the free world. Let that sink in for a moment.

Joe Rogan Experience #1556 - Glenn Greenwald - Biden @51:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0rcLsoIKgA

The Secret Service has confirmed various meeting times from the laptops, and the Biden family hasn't denied the laptops and files are genuine. (NTD/Epoch Times Youtube channels.)

And that nominee can be blackmailed by the CCP.

Anyway, boy are you going to be disappointed in a few hours!
