I have an HP LaserJet MFP M28w, and it's actually somewhat decent! It does B&W prints, and that's actually all we need at home. I can print directly from my phone, scan directly to my phone, and amazingly, I can print from Linux, which I would never have dreamed of in all my 20 years of Linux desktop usage.

Being the family tech support, I'm slowly but surely migrating all family members away from inkjets to laser printers. This is easy because the inkjets invariably die within a couple of years. I make the beloved relatives think really hard about needing color or not. Let's be fair, we don't need it for printing ticket QR codes.
Agreed! It would also be great if these mushrooms were available in pill form microdoses.
Sounds pricy! So probably not
A lot of comments here have mentioned that inkjets don't perform well if left idle for a long period of time, but I can't seem to a reason for this. So, why?

If there truly were a way to increase lifespan to 200 or 300, I hope the person who comes up with it destroys the research.

Can you just imagine if people could live that long? If people started applying it now, it would make our overpopulation situation even worse.

We are not prepared to live that long, either, emotionally or physically. The more we use technology and bioscience to alter our basic physiology and life history, the more trouble we will be in.

I seriously hope this never works.

Product reviews are flawed. They are biased toward things that work well for the first month.

And furthermore, Wirecutter uses affiliate links to make money. And then they got bought by NYT.

So, they definitely aren't completely unbiased.
As always in these discussions I like to remind everyone that you can have good and bad implementations of everything, and just doing unit testing doesn't make your engineers suddenly understand how to write testable code. So, you can well end up in a situation with a reasonable amount of code coverage, but not quite as high as you might like and when someone invariably digs into why they find while parts of the system are testable, parts of the system aren't. Now you're left with a large test suite that provides marginal value because it doesn't give you confidence your code can be deployed if just because it's passing, but the shite engineering practices heavily test implementation details which make maintenance slow to a crawl.

Good engineering is what creates good engineering. What you actually do, I suspect matters a lot less.
I agree, but would emphasize that the main thing at stake is negative publicity. If there's one thing social media has proven to be good for, perhaps exclusively, it's rapidly spreading shame.
It seems most managers just want a thing done. It is really engineers who do the thing right.

you're missing the fact that that is the key point. the heat that is generated is not pointed at the person in front of the light. in photo/video, this is huge. talent/models don't sweat from standing in front of the lights. food products don't melt/wilt under the heat either. nobody really cares about the heat pointed away from the subjects.

Your building, you say. I can choose between at least two providers in my apartment in Brooklyn, NY.

But somebody in upstate suburbia cannot, and they are lucky if their only provider is not utterly bad.

Density is key here. Suburbia is not dense enough, and is finicky enough about digging or running wires, to make building a competing network lucrative. And the US has a ton of low-density suburban population, even in formally urban agglomerations like LA or Houston.

One solution is to live in a proper city, but proper cities are not very numerous in US, and living there is more expensive.
Let's see.

According to https://bdtechtalks.com/2020/09/21/gpt-3-economy-business-mo... GPT-3 was run on V100s, which are the previous generation server GPUs ("Volta" vs "Ampere").

"GPT-3 uses half-precision floating-point variables at 16 bits per parameter... At around $130,000, DGX-1 is short on VRAM (8×16 GB), but has all the other components for a solid performance on GPT-3." (DGX-1 is the previous chassis NVIDIA offered for hosting V100s.)

So I tentatively think the answer is yes, a single DGX-A100 probably can run GPT-3 comfortably. You'll still want a cluster of them to train it, though, because they note training takes about 355 V100-years.

yep the upper fence for the vertical scale is derived from the vote totals statistics. If the set of vote totals is now in votes per square mile, then there would likely be a different upper fence. Might be worth the number crunching to figure out what that number is.

BTW just to double-check, I'm assuming that in this given fillOpacity formula, that a fillOpacity > 1 just resolves to 1. So like fillOpacity : min(votesPerSquareMile/upperFence, 1).

Agreements between the local government and the provider aren't really collusion, just government created monopolies.

As for some kind of collusion between providers, if not competing is preferable for companies, why does anyone ever compete? Verbal agreements or not. Common sense says if you undercut someone's price they will cut their price too in response. Just offer the same price, stay out of their neighborhood, etc. Don't need to wink and nod about it. Yet we see fierce competition all over the place because that strategy doesn't work. New entrants always come along and they can't make a profit by playing that game when others already have all the market share. If you only see a single provider it's either a govt-protected monopoly as I mentioned above, or a beneficial monopoly that is holding prices too low for competition to see an opportunity.
Seems the problem would be solved if someone would hold the phone companies accountable.

I've only ever considered purchasing an inkjet because of the many special use cases it has out of the box with standard ink: photos, transparencies, stickers, shirt transfers, and more. I know some lasers can do these things, but color laser printers are a lot more expensive and the quality is lacking in my experience.
For ESP32 and ESP8266 there are a few good non-Arduino options I'm aware of:

* Official Espressif SDKs (C): https://github.com/espressif

* NodeMCU (Lua): https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/release/

* MicroPython: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp32/quickref.html

I haven't used the official SDK in several years and frankly the current state of their Github org confuses me (why are there so many options now?), so I won't say much about that. They do have a large library of examples however.

NodeMCU is a Lua firmware that abstracts away much of the ugliness you'll encounter trying to learn the C SDK. After the initial Lua learning curve and figuring out what it means to build and flash firmware, it's quite pleasant to use. I find the development iteration cycle much quicker than with the C SDK.

MicroPython is of course a Python firmware along those same lines. I personally haven't had much success with this one, and NodeMCU worked well enough that I didn't try much harder.

I too would like to see a nice straightforward solution to BYO editor to the Arduino IDE, everything I've looked at has been a set of strange hacks. (EDIT: I now see the link to vim-arduino, thanks mollusk)

Unfortunately this isn't really a compelling reason to switch for most shops. The choice of FPGA is entirely driven by the features of the parts that the vendor offers. Salespeople talk to the relevant engineers and a part + pricing is negotiated accordingly.

Once you start pushing the limits of what your part can do, your design necessarily becomes tied to the details of the chip. The secret sauce is the reason why a specific part is bought!

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.

If I translate that from Snark to English, I get "In your opinion, is it a good thing overall for eBay to prevent a legitimate business from selling a particular hardware product, and claiming that it is due to a violation of one of their stated policies, because there could be positive implications for the community that uses that hardware product?"

My answer would be "yes." BTW it's the product that was removed, not the business itself.

One of the nice things about RPi is that it is cheap and commoditized. WYSIWYG. One of the bad things about knockoffs is that their faults and authenticity are not discoverable at first glance.

Also, I don't see what eBay needs to explain. They are preventing a product from being sold on their for-profit platform. You're talking about it like it's a Supreme Court decision and nobody wrote a majority opinion.

Yeah, the Esri fillOpacity property just becomes an SVG property, and the SVG specification requires that it gets clamped to [0,1] before rendering.

You maybe right, but not the way you interpret math. Mathematical axioms are not empirical, and contradictions do arose from those axioms. Non-Euclidean geometry[0] would be a good starting point, Russell's paradox[1] is also worth entertaining.

I’ve used it quite a bit and you make a valid point.

The appeal it had to me was watching one of the videos in which he talks about inherent versus accidental complexity.

I’d say eliminating all the extraneous accidental complexity you see in the entire process of building software is what it aims to do. That really resonated with me.

Deployment, code versioning, IDEs, infrastructure. So many of these things can be replaced by a simpler holistic toolset.

I’d say for simple use cases they’re well past the 80% mark. And it really is enjoyable building something in this paradigm.

The challenges are obviously the next 20% which will be where all the really hard edge case parts come.

I’m really looking forward to seeing it evolve.

It’s worth watching the introductory talk, even if you never intend to build something with it.

Accidental complexity is something I’m sure all engineers battle with. It’s nice seeing a genuine attempt to eliminate it. Even if it has ironically come along with some of its own accidental complexity. (E.g. not having enough libraries)

I’m hopeful that they’ll continue to battle all the right parts of accidental complexity and stay aware (as they are) of where they’re introducing it

What we really need is a giant flow chart that factors in every single thing that should go in to the calculus of how to structure your testing.

Blanket strategies and approaches are just never going to be right for all codebases and companies. There probably are aggregate rules which kind of generalize, but I think the actual system under test and the organization it sits inside is an incredibly important consideration that needs to be taken into account.

I'd love to see how everyone's different advice pans out for all possible permutations of org and codebase they could be tried against.

Just stating you don’t have a warranty doesn’t absolve you of all ethical considerations. You can’t just publish something littered with poorly thought out booby traps and then absolve yourself with a license file!

I liked the the idea of taxing profits via taxing revenue (with a VAT) and deducting domestic expenses that was proposed a while back. I think it was called a border adjustment tax, and the idea was that the incidence of the tax was on the profits and it was apparently trade neutral because the currency values would adjust (which would cancel out foreign expenses being non-deductible).

It seemed like such a simple solution to the often complained about problem of multinationals shifting profits to tax havens, since it’s much easier to determine where revenue is from, but I almost never see it discussed when corporate taxes come up. I wonder if it will ever go anywhere.
The same API on Windows does a Windows call under the hood, on IBM I does a TIMI call under the hood and on PTC bare metal it does the work itself.

Android ported to any of those platforms would still make use of File("myfile").createNewFile() with zero dependencies on a Linux implementation.

No it doesn't, the API call is still valid in Android 11, as long as the filesystem reserved for the application is used.

Even so, it has to do with the Java implementation.
MongoDB Atlas Search: Super Simple, Powerful
> With that said, why did you prioritize spending your limited resources solving for multi-cloud?

We keep asking ourselves the same too. We initially wandered down the "mutli-cloud" path because it made a lot of sense in terms of cost (like somewhere in the region of 10x lower costs)... but as we chipped away at code, it became quite obvious that the inherent complexities could have been avoided especially since we're so early and barely have a user-base.

> I'm curious if the cost savings of optimizing cross clouds was worthwhile vs. the engineering effort / constraints you introduced into your systems at your scale.

The uber low-cost setup allowed us to offer our services for free to gauge overall interest (given we're a consumer product). My assumption is that free customers are free publicity (in that they help spread the word) and that around 1% would convert to paying customers eventually.

We also biased towards "serverless" offerings to avoid DevOps and SRE, and that has worked quite well: In the three months our alpha has been been live taking ~30M requests a month (ignoring the occasional DDoS), we haven't had a single outage or even bothered to look at the error logs (there aren't any errors).

So to answer your question, yes I believe it was worthwhile since the cost difference is 10x and we were able to offer a free-tier because of that (we're not an enterprise business). Obviously, it sucks that engineering time had to be sacrificed for it, but hey, no pain no gain.
