You can still make many HP and compatible laser printers speak HP-GL (well, HP-GL/2) through some arcane PJL commands.

Fun fact: HP-GL is equally compatible with metric and US customary measure as it uses 1/40 mm as its base unit. This just happens to be 1/1016 inches: not a tremendously useful integer factor, but every bit of integer goodness mattered back when peripherals were 8-bit.
We have repository systems built for centralized atomic updates, and giant monorepos, like SVN. Question is why are we trying to have Git do this, which was explicitly designed with the exact opposite goal? Is this an attempt to do SVN in Git so we get to keep the benefits of the former, and the cool buzzword-factor of the latter? I don't know.

Also when I try to think about reasons to have atomic cross-project changes, my mind keeps drawing negative examples, such as another team changing the code on your project, is that a good practice? Not really. Well unless all projects are owned by the same team, it'll happen in a monorepo.

Atomic updates not scaling beyond certain technical level is often a good thing, because they also don't scale on human and organizational level.

Because in US the social fabric is based on money. So it's not something you would necessarily consider odd. Kinda how Germans say "was always like this, why should we change" but in different contexts.

The other part is that Pearsons lobbies, the tests are already accepted as mandatory and then not every teacher is capable of coming up with his own test that allows you to then perform well in the Pearson test. You probably also risk a lot if you used your own test.

It's basically industry developing its own industry.

As others pointed out, your life changes. Your priorities rearrange. Given that, no regrets for me. My kids give me joy my hobbies could never match. It's work but it's worth it and love being a father and raising my kids.

The key thing I learned is a new perspective, I understand my parents and other parents a lot more now.
I think a lot of this hides behind the notion of "accredited" universities and courses.

Some education board (with heavy influence from various companies) decides that you need to select from a set of curriculum to be accredited. Other universities (and some employers) won't honor credits or degrees unless they're from accredited courses.
Right?!

Quoracle: Read-Write Quorum Systems Made Practical
One annoyance I had with the defaults are the short dhcp lease time configured for dnsmasq, causing repeated dhcp lease logging in the logs. Turns out you can configure the lease time using virsh net-edit. The libvrit docs contain additional useful configuration options.

Another small thing but big quality of life improvement is exporting LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI='qemu:///system', so that everything you execute uses the correct connection.
How is it the fault of that youtube channel? They may genuinely want to protect their reverb'd rendition of the Moonlight Sonata, which is technically their right even if it's stupid.

Then it's purely google's fault that their AI contentid scanner can't distinguish between Wicca Moonlight and some other arbitrary performance of the sonata. It's google's fault that their AI doesn't understand that the sonata itself is in the public domain so they have to only match against exact reproductions rather than "kinda sounds the same because same notes and instruments" reproductions.
Isn't that what social media is? An "entertainment" company?

I feel reddit/hn are different you do get some good conversations ... but FB and Twitter... are horrible for any sort of conversation/filtering etc.... granted I follow a ton of people when I used to do SM marketing 10 years ago, but I feel it's micro-format makes it so people are mis-understood, taken out of context, or don't have enough room to really make their point.

FB/Twitter is an all out left/right war online... Reddit you know the "tone" whether I'm lurking in conservative, hanging out in socialist/syndicalist/anarchist/late-state-capitalism subs, or technology or politics, you generally find different "voices" and opinions. Lots of sarcasm but that is how I am too... so it's much more my "style" of social net.

This. Some of the best documentation is a simple "getting started" guide that explains: How to build (any dependencies?), how to hook a debugger or access debug logs and some pointers to where to start when looking at code (example: set a breakpoint here and trigger this action, you'll end-up in X component and should be able to figure out what's going on from there).
How are you calculating the left over income? Going to the BLS tables that Judgmentality linked to, specifically this one (https://www.bls.gov/cex/tables/calendar-year/mean-item-share...) showing income and spending by decile from 2019, it isn't until 6th decile that after-tax income for the mean household is greater than expenditures. Everyone in the lower half of American income spends more than they earn. It isn't until 8th decile that after-tax income exceeds expenditures by more than $1,000 a month. Those numbers are $93,571 and $75,945 annually, for $1,468 excess. In 7th decile, they're $74,234 and $66,435, for $649 monthly leftover.
Yeah I think you are making the important parts. The issues don't sounds like there were long winded debates about left wing and right wing ideologies.

If the shuttle buses are to be suspended, but they still expect people to come to work, it is a recipe for disaster. When I still worked there, about 60% of my co-workers took the shuttle from San Francisco. About 90% of those who did, did not own a car. Telling them they have to come to the office or quit is equivalent to firing them. I doubt anybody is going to buy a car AND sit an hour in traffic in the morning and an hour and traffic in the evening, to keep a particular job. Xooglers generally have no trouble finding jobs, just having that on their resume.

They'll come back. Little kids are incredibly time intensive, but once your youngest hits 6 or so and starts having their own interests, friends, hobbies, sleep overs, you'll start getting a lot of that free time back, and if you're lucky you can even start sharing hobbies with your kids.
Lucee.io all the way. It was featured here on hn awhile back. Basically dynamic ecmascript on the JVM. Great for quickly prototyping apps with. I’ve also built many highly scalable enterprise applications with it.
Slippery slope much? I don’t see anyone bothered by or complaining about main, except those who don’t want to change it, and no ones ever said anything about owners. A large number of people don’t like master and if I can make someone’s life a little better with such a small change I will. Times change, language changes.

If you won’t do so that’s fine, but be honest why you won’t, your arguments keep changing first it was their “moral superiority” And now “where will it end/its change for changes sake” which both sound like excuses to me
Cockpit is a nice web UI for libvirt:

Honestly, I learned that deep down I hate my kids, but the societal bias against such a position leads me to appear otherwise. That adds to misery though, since now I’m just not myself. Obviously it was a mistake for me. They’re all around 7 now and I’m trying to do my best, but Id rather them grown and gone.

Lastly, all the talk about more fulfilling lives etc. How would you know anyway? It’s not like you took both paths and then compared.

I used to live in a touristy area and there was a similar phenomenon with waitresses in the city center - the only issue was that after a few years the waitresses were let go because the employers picked prettier ones as a replacement. A colleague of mine from highschool got hit hard by that, as she thought she'll surely not be one of those that get replaced. She had to take her lifestyle a few good notches down with no higher ed and just waiting experience. She would have had no issues with getting a degree, she was smart but naive.
The truth is you need almost everything to do push and pull. Just as pull alone does "forks" inefficiently, push alone does "joins" inefficiently.

People shy away from this conclusion because doing everything both ways is quite hard and requires fancier abstractions to make nice than people are familiar with.

In my case I was having my eyes on 5 TB 2.5" drives. I don't need them, I'd just maybe like them, so I haven't pulled the trigger, but I have them set aside on Amazon France. The price has stayed within a few euros of 110 € for the last 2-3 months.

The single best thing you can do for good documentation is to hire actual technical writer. Someone who already knows how to write in general, how to write and structure technical texts specifically and who wants to write.

It has three advantages:

- They are cheaper then programmers.

- They write faster then programmers.

- Unlike programmers, they produce well structured easy to read text.

And bonus: if you are lucky, they will be able to explain to programmers how to write better. They won't make them into James Joyces, but will make them learn a bit. It will take time and only some programmers will improve, but the technical writers has that effect.
I don’t buy it.

It's math. If f(x)=K * g(x-1), and g(x)=L * f(x-1), you need to be very careful about choosing values for K and L.
I’m not sure anything would have changed my decision, but I would have prioritized adventure travel more in the years before kids. On the other side I probably would have had them a few years earlier too. (Though other life circumstances made both of those tough)
I listened to a lecture on psychology by The Great Courses and the lecturer said historically they stopped labeling gay people as having a mental illness because the patients did not respond to treatment, so the logic at the time was not whether the patients were not suffering.

The lecturer pointed out this made no sense because in other contexts doctors would not say if they can't treat it, it's not a disease.

I'm guessing the patients thought they were going to hell, or thought society was going to abuse them, or they wanted to be heterosexual so they could have kids or whatever and said "please make me not gay, doc". So they were suffering.

If "treating the gay" worked it might still be considered an illness today I guess.

My point is only the disease labels are arbitrary. And there's a downside to labeling things, especially thing you cannot effectively treat. Also, trusting Doctors without a dose of skepticism can be a mistake.
To be clear, I meant lack of trucks to transport Oxygen, not vaccines. And this logistics problem should be seen in the context of the Pandemic - India has never needed so much Oxygen at hospitals before and so we never needed so many trucks as we do now.

We actually have a very extensive railway network (colonial era yes, but upgraded and expanded to cover the country in the last 70 years) that provides connectivity to most parts of India. And we are now using that to transport the Oxygen and Trucks faster to different states - https://www.livemint.com/news/india/how-indian-railways-plan... .

With vaccine, we are facing issues in keeping up with demand - again a policy failure, because the vaccine makers have been requesting government aid to upgrade and expand their manufacturing facilities since last year. It is only last month that the government has released some funds (as "advance payment") so that the vaccine makers can upgrade their facilities and produce more vaccine faster.

This is just speculation on my part, but I suspect hard drive manufacturing is much more labor intensive than capital intensive. Therefore I doubt this will translate into higher wages.
So interesting!

In the most recent reference guide I found just now, it seems you can draw a segment of a pie chart using a single EW (Edge Wedge) instruction but, for a complete pie chart, this method would require you to calculate the angles of each segment yourself. And of course to add the labels yourself. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place or perhaps the instruction to draw a whole pie chart has been deprecated.

This is a way to filter for underserved markets. If your UI is trash and your description is unclear to "idiots," there's a market available for other people with the talent to do what you couldn't. Alternately, if people hate your app because they imagine that it's something that it isn't, that means that there's a demand for that app available for someone willing to provide it.
Biggest thing I wish I would have known is that kids would have been way easier if I started younger. The lack of sleep and extra physical activity is seriously demanding to the point where my kids are now my primary motivation for excersizing just to keep up with them.

Obviously this doesn't help out older people, but for younger people debating to have kids earlier or later in life, the answer is have them earlier. I regret not spending my 20s filtering relationships by "do I want to have kids with this woman?" and breaking up immediately once I realized the answer was no.

There's a good alternative to the open floor plans everyone is building: noise insulated "pods" with 10~12 devs and a meeting room.
It is very frustrating to have any kind of productive discussion when the slightest hint of anything unexpected is negatively labeled and associated with the entirety of some diametrically opposed position that was never actually raised.
all that may be true. but capturing reality and providing sales terms that reflect it is the responsibility of the seller. one that they have clearly abrogated in the interest of extracting more money from the market.
If you lock the private sector out and expect that everything will be handled by the government bureaucracy, then nothing will get done.

Agree to a certain extent - that is why it is appalling that the government didn't listen to appeals of the vaccine manufacturers to give them funds to upgrade and expand their facilities to manufacture more vaccines. Nobody in India would have grudged if the government gave them some public money to do so!
I would have had kids earlier.

I spent my twenties building a career, partying, and traveling, and I'd give it all back to have more time with my kids (and potentially even a few more kids.)

I got a bit pissed that this for one course. Wasn't the professor's fault, but rather the school.

(in 2011) University tells incoming students they must check the book list for their course and get books before classes start. Books are expensive.

First day of class - professor gives everyone a PDF of the physics book I just spend $200 on. Says, "the university requires that I list at least one book for the course and they can't communicate with the students beforehand.

Never bought books before the first day of class again.

Saying that companies are the cause of most or all of the world’s problems with is just saying that people are the cause. Which they are. People are the problem. All have been, always will be. In all their institutions that they occupy or by themselves.

So what? It’s not a very useful observation. If we are going to live together in peace we have to accept each other and move on with life. We have to move past seeing others who have different views, culture, and beliefs as an existential threat. Continually pointing at people and calling them an existential threat is terrifying and wrong. Stop doing it.

Before having kids, I expected it to be this huge life changing thing. That it would effectively end the part of my life where I was free to do whatever I wanted, and start the part where I was just Daddy, doing nothing except serving my childrens' needs.

But that didn't happen. We just carried on being Jason and his partner, but with a baby in tow.

I had spent most of my 30s cramming in as much "living" as possible, to make sure I'd stocked away a lifetime supply of it. After all, I'd probably never get another chance to travel for long periods, keep up with climbing, and all that other stuff that Independent Jason could do.

But it was all for naught. We just packed the kid along and went traveling anyway. He had eleven stamps in his passport by his first birthday.

Life is just as much fun as ever. But now we have some kids to play with.
It’s up there with Synergies and Optimizing.

HP-GL was always able to plot text labels and make graph data markers: it was meant for scientific graphs, after all. Later plotters added arc sectors and filled (hatched) polygons. All the clever optimization was handled by the host computer: a plotter will just output what you tell it.

There is a feature in HP-GL that does make certain types of XY plotting simpler. While it's not a programming language like PostScript, you can scale, rotate and offset the plot by arbitrary amounts. HP instrumentation manuals claimed it was possible to directly plot experimental data by feeding it straight to the plotter after setting the scale. I feel this was a highly aspirational statement, and one not seeing much real use.
I'm not sure how pricing works where you live, but to get optimal pricing I usually have to wait a few months, or maybe even a year (black Friday). Given that all time lows for hard drive prices haven't budged much in the past few years, why buy every few months rather than stocking up when prices are low?

Anyways for my data point: there was some external hard drives on sale for 5-10% higher than "optimal" prices.

>and stock disappeared for 4 TB+.

That's strange because those drives have terrible TB/$ compared to 10+TB drives.
