It's actually not a good analogy because most mechanics nowadays specialize. You don't have an engine guy do an automatic transmission rebuild and you don't have your local car dealer do a coil-over 4 link suspension upgrade on your Jeep.

This is exactly analogous to software in that you don't need to know deep algorithms to build CRUD web apps. They are a different part of the machine and closer to the business domain. Looking for deep CS over skills like requirement gathering, collaboration, information theory gives false signals on competency for the task at hand.

The reality is front end, backend, embedded, desktop etc. etc. all have different requirements on the skill sets they need to be successful. People gain the skills they need via the process of working, then we have this ritual of interviewing where we act like all these things that never get used in their trade are so so important to know.

The direct analogy is I am hiring an engine guy,he will never touch a transmission. The guy knows fuel maps, timing and compression ratios like the back of his hand, but I keep insisting that he tell me how the sun gear of the transmission engages the planetaries and in what sequence because he has to know this to be any good as an engine guy and come to the conclusion in my head that if he does not know transmissions it is a signal that he is not fit to be an engine guy.
I think this is more geared towards orgs that are not really remote. They're just replicating the office environment online.

In order for this to work I'd have to work all day with a camera on my face, if I understood this correctly. This sounds awful to me.

I do think this would be really cool/fun for events, but for day-to-day work, I'd absolutely hate it.
Only time will tell. But usually, vaccines will induce longer immunity than the real diseases themselves because they have been optimized for immunogenicity.

There will be no eradication of the virus, certainly not world-wide, short of multiple waves of vaccinations. Not even with one type of vaccine, but more likely more than one.

Some of the developing world might get vaccinated with a cheaper, more traditional vaccine, but later. But there is no good vreason why you can't have huge vaccination campaigns with cooling trucks at least in their bigger cities.

Scaling is hard, and brings out authoritarianism.
Keeping older D3D and GL versions alive via emulation layers on top of modern APIs totally makes sense also for the future. Only few applications and games actually benefit from the new APIs, but the new APIs require a lot more work and detailed knowledge of what's going on under the hood (with the exception of Metal vs GL of course, Metal is a lot nicer to work with than GL; but if you compare D3D11 to Vulkan or D3D12, then D3D11 definitely is the more "ergonomic" API - at least for rendering traditional triangle geometry).
My point is that I think those people will end up realising that they need some form of moderation that will likely conflict with the core premise of the platform.
i'm not touching games which do that
You just sum up the entire raison d'être of reactjs and the stores ecosystem around it: force all the team to "do it as simply as possible, don't break certain rules, don't try to be too clever".

It's not that react, redux and cie are something new or disruptive. It just enforces a set of design rules that turns a lot of concurrent inputs and outputs into a linear workflow.
> How is this not something akin to an anti-trust issue?

It probably (if not certainly) is .. but with authorities systematically failing their duties on that subject, and for a long time too, don't expect much (if anything) to come from that.

The sad (and in my personal opinion: criminal) reality is that the (official) meaning/interpretation of anti-trust has been systemically eroded over the years. No doubt as a consequence of relentless lobbying (corruption?), to the point it has become pretty much a total farce.

One does not have to look far to find more examples of companies getting away with what should be punished as anti-trust behavior. HP is hardly an exception and don't expect anything to change. If anything, it might just get worse. By now, pretty much the whole system is designed to resist any change that isn't in favor of those who "invest" (lobby) into it.

Pragmatically speaking, the only mitigation here is to avoid printing as much as possible. It won't do much, and certainly won't change a thing .. but at least this criminal enterprise will not get a penny of mine.
"make sure it's something that can actually be checked" -- I'd love to find out about a sane (not purely academic, financially viable) way to do it. Since university days I know that a piece of paper is an irreplaceable tool - cheap and universal. I usually just draw it on paper, then code, then fix the code, then update the painting, and do it over again until both match each other and work. Never fails me.
There is 'native' support in Kernel 5.4 which doesn't require any extra drivers. The other driver I've used before that is userspace so can be a bit slower but works fine.

>> Of course nobody will ever examine the warrants or the approval process to ensure that "lawful access" is only granted when even the minimal evidentiary standards they require are met.

Yet another reason they dont want to serve warrants directly on individuals. If people know it's happening they'll question it and make public anything corrupt in the process.
What's ominous is the growing media separation between the two political sides leading to ever-increasing difference in worldviews. How can we negotiate and compromise when viewpoints are so diametrically opposed that no middle-ground can be made?
Isn't that a good thing? People need to become aware about how retweets do turn Twitter into an echochamber.
I can understand HP wanting to prevent their customers from being conned into buying false cartridges, or wanting to ensure the best possible experience for customers. But. Is it not enough to bring up a dialogue or warning telling the user it's false and they are breaking warranty, rather than outright disabling the cartridge?

This seems like HP is acting anti-competitively, such that a third party would struggle to feasibly make a part for the printer. Reasons that a third party may make a non-official part:

* It's cheaper

* It improves on HP design (flaws)

* It offers some additional functionality not provided by standard parts

* They offer support past HPs official support, preventing contribution of e-waste

Somehow could not find this, thank you very much! This looks so cool
Having a quantitative, ordinal scale gives the wrong picture I think. Since 10/10 sounds good, but doesn’t actually mean something is safe.

Also the name is “scorecard” that again connotes that a high score is good. I don’t get a 10/10 on my assignment because I did my homework, said hello to the teacher each morning, and was polite to my classmates.

Those are all positive things and if I wanted to measure students they may be a part of the grade. But if I only graded on these factors that’s not terribly useful.

Process measures are good when it’s not possible to measure outcome, but I think in this situation more outcome measures could be factored in.
The issue is that Git sucks at rebasing. Every conflict you fix when rebasing will need to be fixed again next time you rebase.
For me, I often don't know exactly how I am going to do something until I have done it.

Once it's done I will split the changes into commits that make logical sense, for someone wondering how the new code changes the behaviour of the existing code.
Isn't this what OPNsense or pfSense are essentially, just with a web ui?

> The performance of C++ with the convenience of C#

Convenience is a relative term. Convenience to what ? Personally, I find that far from the truth. Rust is very powerful, offers lots of flexibility in memory managing and allocation, which makes a difference in gamedev, but overall it's far slower to code in, because of that. And that is very bad for gamedev, in which fast iteration times is crucial. You code something, test it. Scratch it. Fix it. Test it. And so on.
Cool, thanks for working on this.

> Steam itself is not necessary and is just another system to lure users and developers into a Vendor Lock-In

This ignores the history of how Steam came about in the first place. The PC gaming industry was basically dying because physical distribution was expensive, which made the games expensive too, so a lot of users just pirated games (by downloading them from the internet) because it was easier. Valve recognized that piracy was a symptom of a service problem and set out to create the convenient service experience of piracy in legitimate form. It was actually widely hated at first because people assumed malevolence, but over time Valve has proved their good intentions with the platform. They helped kick off the indy explosion with the Potato Sack, they allow developers to sell Steam keys on other stores without giving Valve a cut, they never ask for exclusivity, and despite what many internet whiners complain about they actually try pretty hard to have worthwhile recommendation and review systems.

> Everything useful it provides should be part of libraries. In a better world - we would use a package manager or Flatpak to install games.

This is basically already the case. Steam is the manager, and it also provides the libraries for its functionality (DRM, workshop, achievements, etc) that are entirely optional. There are games on Steam that don't use any of that and you can copy them to a system without Steam and they run fine (BallisticNG was like this last I checked). Hell, as EA and Ubisoft proved you can even install and run your own alternative client as part of your game you sell on Steam (though thankfully the store now warns users about this behavior).
Also because the corporate media in general and the left leaning companies, don’t really respect facts anymore. Entire networks ignore valid stories. And they subtly and aggressive distort and deflect, “There is no explicit evidence of overt corruption and to suggest otherwise is dangerous to our institutions.”

I’m a big defender of intelligence agencies but people like John Brennan are widely hated within the Intelligence Community. The political operatives masquerading as intelligence officials are leading CNN — which is disturbing.

Reality has been conflated. We’re all living in a conspiracy theory.
Any company IT department's power to ban something is inversely related to how much it's users want to use it. Also, the videoconference provider stealing company secrets it not part of most companies threat model. Teams and Slack are incredibly popular corporate tools, and neither of them offer this feature. WebEx is the only reasonably popular tool I can think of that supports it, and any security department that cared strongly about E2EE, would be asking questions like "do you perform key escrow" if they were thinking of migrating off something like that.

That would help to an extent, in that more city states will likely end up with benevolent rulers. Others, however, would still be susceptible to land a ruler who exploits the innocence of people and distorts reality to advance their own agenda.
Really? That was the single most annoying thing they had done. I switched to using tweetdeck just to escape that change. Is it disabled permanently when you turn it off now? The "you can turn it off but we'll automatically turn it back on" bit was mind blowingly terrible.
Yeah and it's because of people like me.
When there are 2 items, both pretty much the same, if not from the same factory. If one is sold directly by amazon then I'd pick that one over the third party. Why? It's so much easier to get a replacement/refund/return with amazon than third party sellers.

If third parties are all selling the same thing then amazon can probably make more profit than the third party as well, so that's why amazon will also do it.

Now I do wish Amazon would pay more tax etc etc, but people like me make it easy for them to operate and do things like this.

A solution (if you still need the scanner) is to use VueScan: https://www.hamrick.com

It's an application that has its own (reverse-engineered) drivers for many USB scanners that doesn't depend on the system having support for it. I've used it and it works perfectly, though the UI is quite complex at first glance due to the amount of various configuration options it offers.
> their terms of service prohibit inciting terrorism or acts of violence – issues that 4chan/etc deal with by allowing it

4chan and similar communities typically comply with local laws[1], which means no incitation to violence/terrorism (and if you spent some time there vs. only reading articles about it, you'd see this is enforced).
No, if a company was really worried they shouldn't have opted for a cloud product with a (partly) Chinese-owned company. A lot of companies go through the trouble of giving their employees (especially management) "throw away" phones and/or computers when they send them to "problematic" places, in particular China, but then they install Zoom for their C-level and middle management executives to use, huh?

Does someone know how other vendors behave? I have heard good things about Brother printers lately, but I'm not sure if this tactic is also used by them and others
Ah, you’re referring to murder specifically by guns yet regardless of motivation.

Yeah, no. The figure here would be for those executed by the state for political crimes, though that will be hard to measure in both cases and I’d prefer to include in that count things like “unlawfully killed by cops who didn’t like you because you uncovered evidence of systematic racism” because I feel de-facto truths are more important than de-jure claims.

Then you get messy things like prison labour, and systematic policies of punishing entire communities for crimes (or protests) of a few from that community, and I don’t even know if you’re able to demonstrate any of these without being piled on by people defending any given example as unrelated/justified/propaganda/all of the above.

In fairness to you, this is a lot messier than my original comment. :)
What's Twitter then? Or every social network.
Why would a free-speech "purist" be okay with authorities having special abilities to append emphasized messages below other messages?

People that care deeply about free-speech tend to want a level playing ground for every person in a discussion, and to not have platforms that have a centralised bias for or against different messages or identities.

It's disingenuous to tell a bunch of people with principles towards discussions happening on a relatively level-playing ground ("fairness") that what they really wanted all along was a central authority fact-checking certain perspectives.

Free-speech is mainly about avoiding situations in which there is an authoritarian bias towards the speech of one group over another. It doesn't matter whether that bias is due to deletion, banning, shadow-banning, algorithmic/statistical manipulation, editorial notes, etc. All of these things are forms of bias that the powerful can use in an attempt to control the speech of others.

The thing is, most of us aren't purists at all. Many agree that there should be some limits to free speech, and that certain things like calls to violence, dehumanisation of people, disinformation that doesn't get corrected until too late, and so on, are big issues for democratic society. However, it would be better if we could discuss this, rather than having our position straw-manned into something contrary to its inner morality/logic, and then getting treated as if we are all strict adherents to this as opposed to practical people that try to balance it with other things.
I wish they went to Mastodon instead.
How is the latency between systems? I currently use a mixer to mix multiple pcs into my headphone for working at home and my home pc and game pc.

If the latency is good enough i would rather isolate these systems instead of using a mixer and deal with all the ground loop issues i have.

Thanks for the link. The original implementation of getcwd resolving .. until it loops is a delightful piece of cleverness I wasn’t aware of.

I thought this was illegal and why the third party cartridge market is so big. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend inkjet printers for normal home users: for plain text, I'd use a B&W laserjet printer and if I had to print in color (like broschures or food recipes with photos), I'd use a color laserjet. For quality photos, I'd send them in to a professional service: it's still pretty cheap compared to inkjet printing...

I've had it with inkjet cartridges drying or having to be wasted as the printer takes them through a "restoration procedure" if it was long enough since you last printed, and you have to second guess your printer whether it's really just spending your ink, or if it does indeed do only what is absolutely necessary to not have them dry up.
It's for security. Your printer might catch fire and burn your house down. /s
Moderation is not binary... There's a hell of a difference between banning misgendering and banning someone who spends all day sending unsolicited replies or shock images.
> When your political agenda consists of annoying and offending "the other", they need to be present to take offense.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the other". "The other" is an actual concept signifying people who are somehow excluded from society. Rarely do people get banned for going after "the other". Most of these people get banned for going after mainstream journalists and politicians. Many don't get banned for going after anyone at all. And many get shadow banned without any notice or explanation.

Secondly, I don't think people on the right consider what people like Milo (for instance) do to be performative cruelty. They see it as exposing hypocrisy. They see it as exercising their god-given right to free speech.
Want to travel at 600 MPH in a tube? It could happen
I don't want to be an apologist for HP or any other printer manufacturer, but there is at least one point that seems to be missed in this debate. If I design a printer, whether inkjet or any other type, I probably design it to some pretty tight tolerances in terms of the ink or toner. So I probably don't want people to drop in cartridges where the manufacturing tolerances might be way off the mark as they might well cause issues with the performance. That I as the manufacturer might be asked to fix, also possibly gaining a reputation for poor quality in the process. Yes, you might reasonably point out that OEM cartridges are expensive, but it's far from a monopoly out there, isn't it? In some ways, the expense of printing could be considered to be a good thing. Because it's a disincentive to the production of waste paper. Just my 2 cents worth :)
That number could make sense if 'toner' counts as ink. And TBF, a lot of the nice multifunction printers of the 2000s were sold at a pretty decent loss.

> (or $25 if you are happy with noname Chinese cartridges).

Okay so I'm not one of those '3rd party evil' people. But speaking as someone who has had to repair multiple large format Inkjet and Laser printers, I would have at least a few concerns about Hazmat; even first party toner is pretty nasty stuff.
There's also the whole issue that entities (usually governments) have no unified and standardised way of encrypting mails yet, thus to not be open for data protection law lawsuits, they just use paper and mail, which is considered a safe transfer of documents.
reddit could still retain "freedom of speech zealots", which I think still have the better arguments for that matter. They are just in other subs now, but they are still there. The admins know about it and leave them their place. Ironically they often are more civilized and often have a higher quality discourse. That isn't always the case though.
To be fair, unarmed revolts have always been crushed unless they were supported by foreign militaries (like the US.) I'd like to see a citation of a single unarmed revolution that succeeded.

edit: the armed right wing of the US could easily decide that they didn't like the outcome of the election, and change it. The volunteer military and national police forces entirely constructed to prosecute the drug war are overwhelmingly right wing. Second amendment warriors tend to own more guns than they have fingers and toes. That the civil service and the majority of patrician-generals at the top support the result of the election would be no hindrance.

The purpose of being armed is really to force the opposition to massacre you. A right-wing revolution as described above would probably have fewer than a couple of thousand casualties. It's very easy to still feel like the good guy if the only casualties of your revolution were a few of your most deeply committed archenemies (i.e. a few lefty militia types.) It's a lot more difficult when you're hurling artillery into normal civilian neighborhoods.

There were plenty of Northern Irish neighborhoods into which UK military and the police simply couldn't operate without negotiating with a representative of that neighborhood.
