Commitment is quickly becoming a foreign term, but I don't think that applies to the people in the article.

> “Except we could be totally honest about wanting to have a kid soon, without the goofiness and flirting of a first date. You’re looking to achieve a common goal.”

Here's a crazy idea: IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW YOU MEET PEOPLE! If both are willing, then that's that! It sounds like they are ready to raise a family and commit because literally YOLO. There are plenty of people who are old and haven't found someone they organically vibe with. In my opinion, this isn't any different than an arranged marriage, so I feel like your fear/discomfort makes little sense here.

I bought color printer for much less then 100$.
We don't have an extradition treaty with China and we suspended our extradition treaty with Hong Kong because we don't trust the CCP, while we still have an extradition treaty with the USA, so that's one difference.

Another difference: NZ won't extradite people unless the crime they're accused of is a crime in New Zealand and there's a plausible case against them. So, even if we had a treaty we wouldn't extradite people to China for sedition against the CCP because that's not a crime under NZ law.
That's basically a side-channel attack :-)
Thanks for this funny story.
I recently picked up a Canon PIXMA IP8720 which isn't quite as fancy as the P900 but still pretty fancy as these things go. It prints amazing photos.
The difference is that Rust is still quite far to support the dynamic capabilities and code reloading of C++.

Sorry, I had no particular regulation in mind.

For the Pi, it's perhaps more about keeping other companies happy, companies with expensive lawyers, and not necessarily any specific regulation. But that's just my speculation.

I was going for the general sense that eBay isn't being an ass here because it's fun, but because cover-your-ass has been beaten into businesses over and over again.

Clever startups that want to do things better are possible. But they have to have real answers for what's different with them that will allow them to be better.

Having involved in UAV development projects for agriculture monitoring and have used both rotary-wing and fixed-wing UAVs, I'm now firmly believe that neither of them is fit for purpose in aerial monitoring.

The rotary-wing UAV is a power hungry gussler while fixed-wing UAV is not that versatile (e.g. for hovering, etc). The best compromise will be Gyrocopter or Autogyro since it is both energy efficient and flexible. It can also easily fly at sustain high speed wind of more than 50 knots.

I fondly remember xpilot(1) combats at my university. Must have been around 1992?

We'd go to dinner together at 7pm and then descend into the basement of the electronics department to room full of HP Apollo 9000 workstations with gigantic monitors and an unreal resolution (1280x1024!!!)

Sometimes we'd play until 7am in the morning when the first students would come in to start working on their assignments, our hands completely cramped from pressing the right keyboard combinations to engage the ECM of our ships.

> Too bad there's not really a ML/AI ecosystem around (besides Spark, which seems to be losing favor partially because of its embarrassing performance)

Compared to what? If you mean engines like Presto, I would say they have different use cases, plus Spark SQL puts them roughly in the same ballpark. Genuinely curious though, as a Spark user that is always interested in alternatives.
Same goes for "but will someone think about the kids?!"

No?
This should probably be rather posted as a separate thread, but I agree. Even the denoted regions can be misleading (e.g. “EU” becomes “these handful of countries in Europe”).

I had a laserjet 1200 for a very long time, must have been 15 years or so. But it developed a problem where it would often pull multiple sheets at a time, and when the toner ran out I conveniently got my hands on a laserjet P2055dn that my old job was throwing out. Threw in a 3rd party toner cartridge (I guess that model is old enough to not suffer from the DRM crap of newer models) and it was good to go. Been rock solid so far.

That being said, based on what people write every time this topic comes up, whenever this one dies I'll replace it with a Brother.

I have to agree with the comment from bsder, unless you are doing heavy-duty video, RADAR, or RF comms the large majority of chips are never fully utilized, these business are really quite dependent on sales pitches/push. For the large majority of clients they just need to implement a small/medium time critical task.

> At least Vivado (on Linux) is actually quite painless once you get the hang of it. If you're an important enough customer, you can complain to your FAE and they'll get you access to unreleased versions with a specific problem fixed.

I disagree, I haven't touched Vivado in about 1 year but I doubt it revolutionized itself in 2020.X . I am going to politely ignore the shear volume of files that get auto-generated, duplicated, cached etc. and make it near impossible to version control. I also won't enumerate the GUI bugs that are only resolved with TCL scripting. However, as of 2019, Vivado was still unable to support VHDL-2008 standard simulations, same thing for packaging IP in VHDL-2008, that is literally 11 years behind in VHDL standard support. In any other industry people would be flipping the table.

The problem is they don't make money out of the software they make money selling chips, and that is the wrong incentive to improve the toolchain. I would much rather they charge for the toolchain but actually support it with adequate resources and a sane development roadmap, OR they just accept the lack of budget, capacity, profit in software and open-source it.
‘Platonic’ doesn’t mean ‘celibate’. It means ‘pure, idealised, undistorted, uncontaminated, archetypal’. Which is a pretty fitting description of these people’s relationships to each other: as co-parents and pretty much nothing else.
Use Fresnel lenses with a shorter focal length and reduce the depth.

It would be useful to start with a standard home-type window from, say, Home Depot, and build a unit about 120mm deep using multiple shorter focal length Fresnel lenses.[1] Then, in a basement or windowless room, mount some of these into a wall. Add curtains. Nice if your home office or workshop is in a basement.

This has commercial applications. Houses have few windowless rooms, but commercial structures have many.

I got an Epson C8600 for free (A3 color laser with duplex and all from 2006 or maybe 2008?) complete with spare cartridge set. Someone was throwing out old office stuff.

The only problem was the pagecounter chip on the photodrum that had to be replaced, that was something like $5. And I had to reinforce the ikea table it sits on.

Otherwise a great machine, if a bit slow to start up.
I’ve not heard if this app before today but, going by the reviews, it seems pretty shady to have this available in the UK App Store when it can only help with US legal issues (which you don’t find out about until you’ve scanned your credit card and started a subscription).
All of that sounds pretty cool, especially if your only focus on diversity is limited to the food you eat and the songs you listen to.

But the only real thing that makes it possible for people to live together is uniformity. Same language, same customs, same expectations, at least same calendar.

It seems to be absolutely laughable that people from anglophone countries nowadays love to talk about diversity when they are unable to find a common ground with their rural compatriots and all their “diverse” friends are the same middle class people grown up on Hollywood movies and Rowling books.

> Often short dense code with complex types is just really hard to read for your overage joe programmer.

I think people make the mistake of measuring how long it takes you to read x lines, when really you need to measure how long it takes to read x functionality.

There've been times when I replaced a 200 line class with 4 lines of Scala. Those lines were very much the kind of complexly-typed code that people attack Scala for. It took time and effort to understand what they did. But they were still a lot more maintainable than a 200 line class.

I have mostly degoogled by planning then doing a big bang. I wrote out all the things I depend on, all the things I need to migrate, the alternatives, etc. I researched the alternatives and made a decision to implement it. I then did it in stages.

Currently I use my new pixel 3a with grapheneos, no google services, fastmail + k9, ddg, cloudflare dns, signal etc.

I still need to sort out office suite. Collabora does have android apks that should just work but I am waiting til it gets into f-droid.

The one thing I haven't migrated is Chromecast. Once that is done I will be pretty happy.

Note that you will never be totally free of Google. You will still be subjected to google analytics, captcha, dns, chrome (and derivatives), etc. The idea is to be less dependent on their services, reduce Google's capability to harvest your data, and ultimately reduce their influence, power and control.

> The test ban absolutely would prevent it

Not quite. The Soviets used nukes with USA blessing (and on-site monitors) on several occasions for geo-engineering jobs. Mostly to plug burning oil wells. The CTBTO would not be happy, but depending on who built the nuke and how deep it is in the iceberg, this is boilerplate approvable.

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

That being said, it's silly to nuke an iceberg and it wont achieve anything. The current will push the chunks back together and the shockwave will kill all the penguins.

edit: Another "funny" USSR use case for fission reactors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subterrene . The mind boggling detail is that apparently it just worked (until it didn't).
Hmm... The situation is quite the opposite I think. You can buy a car now for, inflation adjusted, 50ies car prices, that will be vastly superior to the 50ies car, especially if you buy used.

Ditto for phones. Call-only phones (I have one for travel) are dirt cheap, they cost less than a decent steak.

In my company (10k+ devs) Scala seems to be losing steam. All the enthusiasts have moved to Go/Rust, while the pragmatics are staying in (moving back) in Java. No new major project is being built in Scala.

This is sad, but divorce is even sadder. Both phenomena have many negative implications beyond the child's well-being, namely the economy. Consider the waste of each "family" having double the housing, double the cars, double everything...

It's amazing to me that western democracies seem to facilitate single parenting and divorce, instead of discouraging it.
I agree with the first sentence, and that I found is one of the strongest points of Go. That you can look at your colleague code and be almost sure what it does, there just aren't hidden traps or clever hacks. It's always the same "dull" code, telling you in plain language what is happening.
I know, but the computer just has to do local corrections, i.e., varying a little bit the input on the propellers to keep the drone stable. On the other hand, there is no local correction that enables you to hover a winged plane (it always has to move at a minimum speed in the air to generate lift), so you can only drive them automatically if the computer can globally control your trip, which is much more inconvenient for a human driver.

The aerodynamic stability is an interesting topic, but useless here. If you assume your computer is dead, you won't control neither a remote quadcopter nor a remote winged plane.
I’m in Sacramento, been here a few years. There’s definitely been people moving from the Bay out here. For some people, you can buy a large enough house with a yard, but you have the option of driving in to the Bay if you need to go in to your office from time to time, while mostly working remotely.
Certainly not the perfect option for everyone, but it works for some people.

I agree on the need for more multi-family housing. There’s been a boom of apartments and condos around Downtown and Midtown Sac, but they are all “luxury” units with the price tag to match. People not making a good salary don’t seem to be helped at all, so there needs to be more policy than just “build more rich people housing.”

But then again I was one renting a “luxury” apartment before I bought my condo in a gentrifying neighborhood, so maybe I’m part of the problem.
Since those who are concerned about the legality are not using. Now they have a good opportunity to start.
I just can't praise Brother laser printer high enough. I own one for few years and it is cheap to maintain and never let me down so far. Last Saturday my SO tried to print something but printer refused to work (I thought it finally gave up). She told me to fix it (ugh..), I got to the printer with my computer but then got message from colleague, which I decided to prioritize ;-)

After 4 minutes, with me not touching anything printer decided it'll print and spew out few pieces of neatly arranged printed papers. Looks like it lost wi-fi connectivity but was able to reconnect and do the printout.

Of course I took the praises.
Meanwhile the consortium running ITER [1] is spending €22 billion but the UK is no longer a member because we left the EU. For engineering at this scale, cooperation is going to get results - not small projects like this.

Also in Europe the owner of a cable to a build is required to rent it out to other providers at cost. So if DTAG builds a cable to my apartment complex, then I can later go an buy a DSL from Vodafone, despite the line begin DTAG. Since it's at cost, Vodafone has no further costs than what they would pay if they put down the line themselves, they even save some since they typically delegate support to DTAG technicians for on-site issues.

Achieving fusion would be a god-send, but aneutronic fusion - which is generally considered 'the next step' - would be utterly spectacular.

First, it would save you having to build very expense and complex steam turbines. Like Chernobyl had 4 nuclear reactors powering 1 steam turbine, because the engineering required to build a high quality high capacity one is super expensive. With aneutronic fusion you could just use the energy from the generated charged particles and directly turn that into juice.

The huge, huge, huge thing though would be no more neutron radiation. It would vastly simplify reactor construction, reactor cleanup, biological shielding, etc. etc.

Aneutronic fusion would also us to just spam power plants, safely and cheaply, in a way that's difficult for modern society to even understand. Assuming the aneutronic reactor itself isn't mega expense of course.

I don't really have much sympathy for people whose business model is "I'm going to sell copyrighted movies and TV shows for my own profit without compensating the creators in any way."
