I sort of disagree with this article, except the fact that inkjet ink is overpriced.

I have a 5 year old basic consumer grade Canon color inkjet with a scanner built in. It's wireless, I can quickly print a photo on photo paper (no waiting multiple days for a printing service), any BW document I'm likely to print in 2020 (and let's be honest...how many documents do you really need to print in 2020?) come out at 10 pages per minute or so. It prints in duplex. Ink is about €50-€75 per year. I've had one paper jam in 5 years, solved by pulling one handle and removing a crumpled piece of paper.

I have way more issues with my €1500 laptop or my €800 phone than with my €100 inkjet printer.

There is a feature in Scala 2 that covers the specific thing you want: implicit classes. You can use them to add custom methods. It's clean and straightforward.

And it will be even easier in Scala 3, where this pattern is coded into an even simpler feature: extensions.
Avoiding the burden of a "widget tree" that duplicates application state in complicated, inefficient and error-prone ways is more or less the whole point of reconstructing the whole GUI every frame from data structures that deserve to exist.

In Germany at least, companies are not allowed to put the printer in 'busy' areas. Starting from a certain company size, a seperate room may even be required. I believe particulates are explicitly given as a reason for this.

I'm also not sure how this would be 'easy' to prevent, without adding a whole sealed enclosure around the printer.
I don't think 'state granted monopoly' is a good way to phrase it. If you go by the quoted excerpt (which I largely agree with) then it's not so much a monopoly but more of a captive market, and it's not so much granted as merely 'allowed'.

And sure you could set up your own competing ride-sharing market, though you'd have to convince people to share and buy rides through your market and not the well known one, so eventually a free or mostly free market may come into existence but until that happens we'll have to deal with markets held captive by apps and webpages.

This doesn't excuse this behavior. I would be one of the first to go if people start to measure skulls again. And this behavior of executive forces is much more concerning than what some people post on the internet. It shows to me that the EU is not ready to take a leadership role in the 21st century and just tries to repeat old mistakes.

Pitiful really and the brutality of the raid isn't the issue here.

It is not even a question if the German state will use this to suppress "unfortunate" opinions and they would not deny it if you asked.
Oh but it is. A proper menu/action system requires the toolkit to retain all menus and actions; ImGui doesn't do that (and shouldn't, considering all the places you can put a menu), it also requires layered event handling, which ImGui doesn't want to have. Accessibility requires a retained widget tree, which ImGui explicitly doesn't want. Layouts are incompatible with the current immediate mode API (but could be implemented in an immediate mode API given a legion of lambdas), because the size of widgets depends on the size and possibly contents of other widgets; for ImGui this is all fixed when you call Button(), which immediately calculates all vertices and adds them to the drawlist (that's the retained part in ImGui). There are probably many more points.

St. Igantius of Loyola (founder of the Catholic Jesuit order), outlined a process of discernment that is very similar to the decision journal method nearly 500 years ago in his Spiritual Exercises[0]. Of course, there is a distinct focus on the discernment of spirits, but the prompts in the decision journal are generally the same.

I’m using Cloud Run too and love it in principle and, mostly, in practice. I’m running a Rails app which takes about 30 seconds to start on Run (much quicker on a standard instance or local and I’m not sure why). My other gripe is that it will just randomly restart (not after being idle for some time but literally as I’m clicking around the website). There are no server errors and nothing I can see in the logs. Coupled with the fact that restarts take around 30 seconds it makes for quite a poor initial experience for my web users.
honestly, im pretty sure imgui can't help you here, i.e. you have to calculate all the necessary sizes/positions yourself and tell imgui where everything should be
The problem here are the writers, not the readers. Most people are just not good writers and good at communicating complex ideas clearly. But the obsession with publishing research in journal articles format means there are a lot of reluctant writers writing on unengaging platforms.
Scala goes quite far in the flexibility, maybe too far. Agreed.

But is python really so good? I'm not a heavy python user, but there are loops and list comprehensions and map. There are also optional type annotations now, should you always use them, or not? How about "a is b" or "a != b"? How about environments and build tools...

I think that go might have been a better model student.
I agree. Sideways related and maybe more of a UI issue, but the site also makes it unnecessarily hard to limit my search to a "release" instead of a version of that release (i.e. I am looking for general info on a U2 album, not the liner notes of the Asian release of that album).
And which Apple anyway can now prevent you from doing (by explicitly requiring Sign In with Apple and letting users turn off email forwarding).
I m surprised by the resilience of email as a communication channel. We need to extend it to carry notifications and ephemeral messages as well. There's no need to lock up tech behind the gates of google and apple
Cool. Does that mean I can use this in a C# Console app?
Hi, I'm making SkyAlt[0]. It's IDE and language for building applications. Probably I did something right in the beginning, because It doesn't have problems with "page tearing", but it's true that It does "state tracking" in the background.

In my experience people just moved to Kotlin. Hardly seeing any new projects in Scala, except maybe for Spark and such. It is mostly just maintenance at this point.
Yes of course there are synonyms in all languages - but I specified "a lot more words". If you look at the link I included in my first reply under "vocabulary comparison" you'll see an example of what I mean. And thats just the biggest one - there are islands in Croatia where I (as a native speaker) might have better luck understanding Czech than the local variants.

Don't think that undermines my claim at all - they understand the words because they're familiar within the slavic language group in general (even though they might be derivations and used or spelled differently). Its like saying Italian/Spanish are the same because speakers might understand words between them. With the translation argument - you also of course have to ignore the fact that Serbia writes in cyrillic and Croatia in latin alphabet.

Critical internet infrastructure services just did that to conservative-tolerating sites like bitchute. It's worse, because "go build your own site" is tough when really standard services cut you off.

At least in bio papers, the good ones make sure to give the most important method details in the legend itself so it's rare I have to refer the methods section. But yes, that does happen!

Does having a modern kernel solve this issue? As I understand even on a modern linux-based router one should disable those ALGs as it's their [lack of] interface with connection state which is broken.

Yeah the ability to disable the insecure commands is crucial. That should be the first thing they should do.

Probably a lot of people aren’t even using this functionality in their workflows anyway.

I think the only one of these commands that I actually use is setting outputs, and I don’t even use that very often.

There should also be a way to see which commands have been triggered via stdout, so you can at least see what happened if something malicious happens.
Indeed! Even after a decade you still have to do this for any new field, though you feel less anxious about it! I loathe and love journal club topics that make me do this!

I think ZenPsycho is right calling out for accessibility features. It's unfortunate that most low-key UI libraries don't support them, partly because those OS API are so complex and for a non-user it is hard to understand them (much like for English users it is sometimes hard to understand what's needed for localization).

A pragmatic way to see it - and arguably it's an issue I don't have answer for - is that the sum of all desirable modern features (incl. but not limited to accessibility features) are growing the scope so complex and large it is also - very unfortunately - hindering innovation. Everyone agrees accessibility features are desirable. Yet if every experimental or hobbyist project needed to implement all accessibility features, those projects wouldn't exist. So two steps forward is costing us one step back here :(. There are _so many things_ dear imgui doesn't do at this point, it can't handle full internationalization and right-to-left text. Maybe it'll catch up. Maybe other solutions will solve this. For now as I don't have the resources to do it all myself. But the more people use and work with a given software the more likely it is to evolve and improve. I would gladly surrender to a much better product than dear imgui that implemented this while also solving the problems dear imgui aims to solve.
While I get the arguments that prohibition doesn't work, you need some function to disincentivize people from being drawn to try drugs. Removing practically all barriers, especially to the hardest, most dangerous drugs, is a bad path for Oregon to have opened up.

And I fear that it also opens the doors to other countries / bad actors seeing that they have a new market to manufacture and sell drugs to (fentanyl, heroin, meth) without penalty.

I think there are major unintended consequences here that will materialize in years to come, and it could be possible that this hurts the people it claims to help (and more in fact). Those who voted for the symbol of decriminalizing the "harmless" drugs may get much more than they expected.
In biology the intro is typically not too long and generally gives just enough info so that even if a person was just browsing the journal they can get enough context about the field and topic and get a list of pre read references they can look back to if needed. The perfect introduction would ideally give you an introduction and a reading list that by itself would bring you up to speed to where the paper is starting from, without any need for second level reference digging!
On productivity: Why we get up for work every day?
No country is perfect, and the reason why there are good and not so good policies are due to compromises that need to be made. Low taxation for example is great, but not if it means slashing your education budget or having the streets full of homeless people.

Every time people try to start a new country from scratch - whether by colonizing some land or a revolution - the results end up completely different to what they hoped or expected, often for the worse. Real lasting change is effected by the long, hard, often unhappy slog. Ask the people who fought for civil rights, or gay rights, or environmentalists - or for that matter, the various conservative groups.

Honestly if you want a new country, start with the one where you live, become an active citizen and do the hard work of showing up and participating. If that's not possible then move to a country where you can make a difference, but still you have to put in the work.

Yeah the fact that the untrusted inputs can come from PRs and Issues is worrying. I totally had not considered that.

I’m still a bit unclear how that could happen in practice thought. So the PR/Issue text would need to be written to stdout?

Agreed, but in traditional UI toolkits this burden is on the user-side. If the widget tree is hidden away inside the library it becomes just an internal implementation detail, a caching structure which might help make some things more efficient. Proof is in the pudding of course.
Can we focus a bit more on refactoring?
I feel like refactoring never gets the attention it deserves in the development cycle. Many devs take the approach of let's do it quick and dirty now and let's ask for a month worth of refactoring later. But then when the time comes they don't really want to refactor, they want to rewrite the whole thing again, making the same mistakes. I feel that many people avoid refactoring because they don't want to spend the time and effort thinking of how to improve the code? Refactoring is hard, but I think it's fundamental for writing good code. I like it when Christian Clausen says "Clean code is not an option, refactoring is a requirement for being good at coding".

I've been a fan for a very long time of getting to all of these sites through https://used.addall.com

It's a very good used book meta-search engine that sorts by price and condition, and includes specific notes from the merchant in the results page. I went through computer science/engineering in college using it, and one semester managed to get one-off editions of all of my books for less than $20 total.

Using it also ends up getting you acquainted with a lot of online used booksellers. It also includes Amazon, but you start to notice that a lot of the specific copies of books on Amazon are actually also being sold by the same sellers on friendlier or their own platforms, and when they're on Amazon they're often marked up to cover the Amazon tax.
Implicits are not encouraged in our code base and for a good reason.

This was just an example. It's not about filter at all but the general method chaining.

Here is example from D if I must:

real[] fun(int[] arr) {
return arr.map!(a => a.to!double / PI).array;
}

void main()
{
int[] arr = 100.iota.array; // [0, 1, 2, 3, ...]
real[] newArr = arr.map!(a=> a*2).array.fun); // [0, 0.63662, 1.27324, ...]
}

I don't know how you can chain a custom method "fun" to the output of the "map" in Scala without duck typing. Why is this not possible when all conditions type-wise are met? Why you can chain std methods like map, filter, reduce, fold etc. but not custom ones?
Well, maybe. We use it user-facing for suite of niche vr/tele-op applications and it works wonderfully. We have support for Korean, Japanese, Hebrew (serious issues with right-to-left in our implementation though).

The thing about ImGui is it puts devs on steroids - adding gui is just sooo fast. And fun. And easy to tweak. And easy to debug. 10X, maybe?

I get that for a game maybe the user facing gui is less of an issue - it needs to be really polished and maybe there isn't as "much" gui anyway? But for indie-games and productivity apps, it seems like having a gui option that offers 10X faster development - wouldn't that be really convincing? Even if it isn't 10X, maybe only 1.3X, it still seems like it would be easy to motivate some missing functionality. And I would argue it is way more than 1.3.

And looking forward - IME, emoji, right-to-left: those are just PR:s waiting to be written :)

I'm incredibly bullish on ImGui paradigm. If programmers gravitate towards it and prefer it as much as they do then there is some real power there.

The only bad thing about ImGui is that the Rust port of it... well... sucks. At least the way it handles strings at the moment. Then again I always found Rust's handling of strings to be one of the negatives of that language.

I can attest to this fact. I've noticed often that papers in biology (systems biology in my experience at least) go directly to the point with some amount of context and history leading upto the main results of the paper. This is something that's suprisingly lacking in engineering, where reading a paper or grasping the context usually requires at least some amount of prior learning.
DT fusion is bad for space travel. The reactors are simply too large, and burn only a small fraction of their mass in fuel before they are too damaged to continue. ITER, for example, if it could be operated continuously forever (it cannot) would take 300,000 years to fuse its own mass in fuel.
DISAGREE on this. Real innovation happens bottoms up. co-operation at national level is all a spectacle.
That’s what we did in 2016. Instead of plodding along with one line at a time, we funded an entire generation to get started at once.

In the US you can’t really make each line’s development faster, but you can start earlier. We cut at least a decade off Ballard, West Seattle, Everett, and Tacoma extensions.
