I guess some people need CUPS but.. I have a $90 Brother laser printer and it has support for all kinds of protocols, and I can send multiple text files (9100 is the "raw data" port, not anything else) to it at the same time on port 9100 and it figures everything out and doesn't get confused.

I can send stuff to it over FTP, too.

$90!

I will never use CUPS again. I'll need a printer driver, yes, but I'll never need CUPS.
Yes, but renewables would only give us a chance to see growth plateau without our civilization disintegrating. The point the article makes is the year over year multiple-percent economic growth is impossible, and the limiting factor becomes the number of atoms in the galaxy on a timescale shorter than human civilization's total history.

that's an immense amount of hyperbole for a comment decrying juvenile arguments.
There is so much of this opportunistic taking advantage of a captive audience in these kinds of places.

I hope this is just the beginning of cleaning up rip-offs like this (ballparks are skirting close). I hope this doesn't get buried under a pile of bribe money/contributions.
Summary: entry-level jobs dried up, so people are going to law school instead. Also political motivations.

Editorial: More lawyers make the country more complicated and less competitive. We need more and better people going into industrial and medical skilled trades. Think CAD/CAM, not plumber. On the other hand, I think basic legal education would probably have been more relevant than almost anything I’ve ever learned in a classroom, and law school might have been worth it just for my own purposes. Minus the political activism of course, which I guess is center stage now.
"...demonize it by associating it with a few of its wealthier proponents"

It's a bit, uh, odd to complain about associating an idea with it's proponents. That's what most people do with most ideas. It seems like a lot of arguments being made here have the quality of "the authors are unfairly summarizing the arguments being actually made ... rather than taking the whole thing as a light-hearted experiment with no consequences if you don't want them...."
Sure. It's a valid case. The problem is that it's probably also easily removable, unless you can hide the gps receiver, the cpu, and the long life battery in the bike itself and the necessary antennas (maybe under a sticker say).

Though I have to say I saw a youtube video recently (sorry to lazy to google it) where someone put an apple tracking device in a bike and was able to locate it after it was stolen.
Didn't know about that, you got some examples?
> I'll happily send you my signing bonuses if you send me your salary.

You've conceded it does have value to you, as you want something in return.

> If you want to talk meaningfully

I'm afraid it's not up to you to define meaningfully. People in a free market are paid according to the value they produce, not some average of what other people produce. Anyone paid less than that is in a stronger negotiating position than one who is paid more than that.

If you feel you are underpaid, take a good hard look at what value you are bringing to the business. If that's looking good, take that to your boss, show the evidence, and negotiate for a raise.
The other part is increasing knowledge, which allows us to use energy more efficiently. This could theoretically allow continued growth with the same amount of energy.

Same, I just set up alerts via Telegram and they popup on my phone and desktop client. Didn't know they had a browser extension.
> At the end of the day "this" (economic growth) is powered by using energy to multiply the impact of human labor.

That's just a restatement of the Victorian/Marxist model of industrial labor.

The actual reality is that energy intensity of the OECD economies has been dropping for decades. As well attested in several sources such as, say, EIA data.

I'm a big fan of energy consumption BTW, and think it should increase significantly on a per capita basis, especially in poorer regions (though not from fossil sources). I just have been following this particular statistic for years and see that growth is not proportional to energy consumption.
Apparently med school applications were up 18% (in 2020). Which surprises me, I would think COVID might have scared more people off.

Full Stack Product Engineer | $120k/year | Full-Time | Remote | Async | Soflyy | http://soflyy.com/

Help us build the next iteration of our drag & drop website builder for WordPress.

You can do l33tcode? More power to you. But we don’t care. We are looking for people that can craft quality software.

On top of engineering abilities, that means:

- solutions that are good from a technical standpoint and a user standpoint - i.e. clean code, good architecture, good design

- UI / UX

- Ability to take a "product ownership" role - i.e. we say "build feature X" and give you wide latitude to build whatever you feel is best, and you execute with little oversight or supervision

Our stack:

- Vue (w/ Vuetify and Vuex)

- TypeScript (strict mode, 100% coverage)

- PHP (w/ Psalm - static analysis for PHP)

- WordPress

- Cypress / Jest

- GitHub

You'll spend a lot of time in Vue (with TypeScript and Vuex), but you're also expected to work with WordPress APIs and PHP. We do E2E testing with Cypress, and integration and unit tests with Jest.

You're expected to be self driven, solve problem and make decisions on your own. We trust you to create the best product you can (you can always ask for help though!).

You’ll be working closely with the founder (me, Louis), three other senior engineers, and one designer.

Everything is async. We hate interruptions and we avoid meetings like the plague. We also don't do overtime / crunch time / rushing / stress. We are a calm company: https://basecamp.com/books/calm

We've been in business for over 10 years, and profitable every year. Our WordPress plugins power 200k+ websites.

To apply, email Louis (the founder): louis+hnjob2@soflyy.com.
Self driving hours having a lower incident rate than human drivers. That’s the minimum. Having a 99.9x% success rate (put as many 9s as you desire) is your qualifier and that’s a standard measure in operational uptime.
I'd be embarrassed to even expense this.
Burn out is a symptom that you are out of balance, if that's your path you need to make a change. Full effort should allow for a balanced life, there is stress, sure, but there is also reward and fulfillment.

I don't think the formula is particularly linear. Double value produced means double the salary is likely the wrong equation, but it is right in principle.

If you work hard you will be developing a lot more relevant skills than floating along. This makes you more valuable. Not everyone recognizes, or is willing to pay for that extra value in salary or promotions. But some people will, and some people are.

In the event you strike out on your own as a freelancer or your own business, working in that manner becomes your lifeblood that will make or break you.
Since you're already set on leaving, you could maybe even compromise: leave the job now, then look for new jobs at a casual pace while you take things easy and recharge. That way, you're not missing opportunities at places that appeal to you and that will treat you better. Plus, ~6 months from now is pretty close to the end of the year, which will affect the number of new job opportunities that come up. Most companies don't hire around the end of the year.

Future employers will question a 6-12 month long gap and may read things the wrong way if they see it next to a short time at your most recent job. Granted, that's not to say that it would be a dealbreaker for a future employer, but it will be something that comes up.

Whatever the case, it sounds like the decision you make will be the right one. Good luck in your endeavors.
While the article is correct, it omits most of the actual function of CUPS. Many printers are capable of accepting various types of documents directly over the network, with postscript, HP PCL, and PDF being commonly supported---and ASCII pretty much universally supported.

The problem is that few printers support _all_ of these standards. Postscript, for example, is surprisingly complex to implement in practice, which leads to a lot of inexpensive network printers actually lacking postscript support. Further, printers are very slow at rasterizing, and so while support for PDF rasterization is very common you probably don't want to use it. You can easily see a minute per page for printing modest PDFs. In-printer PDF rasterization is also of very uneven quality, and I have seen issues like completely broken kerning in documents due to the printer's poor handling of embedded fonts.

One of the key functions of something like CUPS is to address this problem: CUPS standardizes the format of all printed documents to something that is well-supported by the printer, and performs much of the rasterization ahead of time on the much faster print server. This saves time and improves reliability since you don't need to figure out if a given document is supported by the printer. For most printers these days some variant of PCL is the preferred language for jobs, as it's simpler and easier to implement than Postscript. It also presents fewer security concerns.

Of course the other major problem CUPS solves is the management of the queue, including across multiple users. That's an important feature but not one that matters in a lot of home situations. That said, if you don't use a printing system you can and will run into annoying situations where you cannot print a document because you are waiting for the previous one to complete sending, which often gets blocked on the printer's memory space or rasterization.
> If your job in SFO can be done from Sacramento or Portland, why can’t it be done from Manila? Or Warsaw?

In theory, nothing. In practice, a dramatic reduction in quality.

> And don’t fool yourself, that developer in Colombia is just as talented but can work for half the cost.

Again in theory, yes. In practice, not usually.
Irrelevant. You’d have to find statute and precedent for the authorities required in enforcement. Law is not supposed to be rhetoric.
Does Heap allow fully remote, non-US employees?
Uhm, Fox News was filled with talking heads ranting about Obama’s ebola pandemic and calling to ban flights from Africa.

I’m sure if there had been and actual ebola pandemic, real Americans would have chosen freedom.

As a counter-point to this, `document.write` is (currently) a render blocking action, and thus allows one to load assets without a bunch of `document.addEventListener("DOMContentReady", (ohgawd) => {})` business to ensure a `window.__whatever__` is initialized before 10 quadrillion megs of JS run

Maybe in some pseudofuture there will be a less heinous way to schedule the order of JS evaluation, but until that future materializes, document.write is damn handy
IANAPLS but I'd suggest looking into all the risks that are being completely ignored to chase the one risk that may not that be that big anymore, perhaps never was to warrant the first round of lockdowns to begin with. Who is profitting by keeping the public's focus on COVID like a laser beam and off everything else?
My experience with pipewire is it works better than pulseaudio, is faster, has lower latency, and fewer bugs. And it gets better all the time!
And yet the Weihenstephaner, which actually tastes good, goes for almost $10 less.
I forget the name of the company, but many of the concessions at terminals in US airports are basically monopolies controlled by one company. They go a long way in obfuscating it through iPads, authentic-sounding fronts (ie: the Biergarten in this example), and partnerships with celebrity chefs like Wolfgang Puck who are willing to whore their name. But in the end everything goes back to a common commissary kitchen, where they serve up cafeteria food.

It's ridiculous, and part of the reason why almost all US airports are awful, Kafka-esque centers of frustration and disappointment.

Edit: The company is OTG. They're basically what Aramark is to sporting arenas, except to airports. Get a monopoly for the captives, drive up prices, and serve up garbage.
There’s quite a few people I know as well who are considering going to school as well.

The gist has been the same, the constitution doesn’t appear to be being followed and as a lawyer you have the ability to defend your rights.

I’m not sure what caused this particular spike (a lot of alone time?) but I know a lot of people are feeling this way.

In terms of an argument: 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th, 14th are amendments are clearly being violated in many regions. Further, given the risk profile of this disease (mitigation’s, high survival rate, etc), there’s no reasonable argument to abridge rights. Particularly, for a long period of time
Some people want to work for companies that foster competitive environment and reward employees who are motivated to go and/or perform above and beyond what is expected of them. Unions seldom help to create such environment.
My point being duke is that physically intensive jobs such as carpentry, bricklaying and other labor intensive jobs also have their own safeguards to prevent these injuries you mentioned. Not completely remove but prevent, the same way that office jobs still impact people's health.
They're required to use hats, hard hats, safety glasses, long sleeved clothing, sun screen, steel capped boots, lifting belts etc.

The things you mention do not particularly happen to everyone and even less so since safety standards have improved.
As a mechanical engineering intern in the early ‘90s, I worked for a company that among other things, designed food handling equipment for McD. For them a lot of automation is about safety - young/inexperienced employees around potentially dangerous equipment = workers comp claims. I helped develop a fully automated pushbutton system to change fryer oil out from a bulk storage/disposal system. They had a lot of burn claims from teenagers changing it manually back then.
I find this comment so out of touch with the history of the world. Would you have us stuck back at the art of knocking rocks together to create fire since the people who created matches and lighters had so much contempt for the rock knockers? If anyone has contempt, it's this line of thought.

What are we if we aren't trying to move forward--solve problems, invent, and improve lives? A few weeks back I came across Hadrian, one of the machines profiled in this piece. The idea of building with higher accuracy, lower cost, greater speed, all while allowing people doing backbreaking labor to do something else, excited me. There was no contempt for anyone.

I like woodworking. I'm currently thinking of purchasing an industrial-grade CNC router. I think it's analogous to robotic bricklayers in many ways. I have to design a piece before I make it whether I cut it with a hand saw, use a table saw, or have the CNC router do it. The reason I use a table saw instead of a hand saw is the same for using a CNC router instead of a table saw--it's faster and provides me with a more consistent and accurate outcome.

If that's not a good enough justification, you should look into how much skill is required to operate a CNC router. You can use different bits, rpms of the router, speed the machine is moving at, entry speeds, depth of cuts, etc. There is a lot of skill involved. And when a lot of that is taken away so I can focus on what matters most--creating beautiful furniture--I'll be so very happy and won't feel the least bit bad about it.
These are predatory prices because people traveling for work will pay them and expense them.

Then what, walk through airport security with them?
So do you think we'll have the technology someday (pretty soon actually) to build all the smartphones on earth with less than one atom?
Car simulators are accurate enough that F1 drivers drive more in simulators than in practice laps. They are very accurate. More than well enough to train a model to drive, for example, reasonably fast. Of course the real world is always different even if simply because the conditions are different, so you keep some headroom.
That's pretty neat... But does it work with postscript files? Or maybe pdf? I also assume it only works for networked printers?
But is it slower. I never said it was faster than using auto-sensing. I said it was faster (for me) than using a third computer or using Wifi.

Plus you are (again) ignoring the situations where it's an older computer that does not have auto-sensing.

True or false: Crossover cable is more versatile for direct data transfers and is not any slower than using auto-sensing.

AFAICT, there is nothing wrong with crossover cable. If there was, methinks the parent commenter wouldn't be mentioning it on HN.

I do not see grey because I use a text-only browser. It's all the same color (except italics), just how I like it. :)
This wasn't a failure of enforcing a contract.

It was a failure of employees of Credit Suisse to take action after (correctly) identifying risks in their Archegos deal.

Multiple departments at CS saw the risk.

They failed to take action because they didn't want to loose a client who was paying them money.
Are we sure that the ML experts that wanted to beat real human chess players actually respected them? Wouldn't they know that at some point the enjoyment of chess itself might fade if the best in the world is a computer? Maybe chess is having a moment right now due to Netflix, perhaps maybe it's a permanent upswing. But long term, I don't know if it will remain interesting to people.
Liquor laws may differ where you are but I wouldn't recommend bringing alcohol into a bar where I live. If you're caught, you'll, at best, be kicked out.
That's still about a 500% markup. Outrageous by any standard.
I'm familiar with broken window fallacy. Not sure how it relates to my comment. That's like saying we should give up on improvements in any developing region because they're in a bad neighborhood. Quite defeatist I'd say.
Other management tasks are easier when you have separate clusters, such as applying environment-specific OPA policies and not having to filter them based on labels or annotations you hope everyone is using correctly.
Most likely HMS Host. All your airport receipts will say that, once you start looking.

I'm not responding to anything other than the rebranding myth, because that's what I originally responded about. Going beyond that scope would involve walls of text that HN is ill-suited for, as evidenced by the amount of text already written for a narrowly-scoped topic.

I'm here because I saw a comment repeating a falsehood, and wanted to call it out. I dislike seeing blatantly wrong things such as this:

These strike me as plausible criticisms, and I've seen others say similar things. I've even seen a few experts - not many, but not zero - argue that the current global order is at risk.

What I haven't seen any expert argue for is almost certainly guaranteed extinction for humanity. I don't mean to sound like I'm nitpicking on the wording, but the core problem I'm pointing to here is the game of telephone that gets played in climate science, where "this is a crazy extreme possibility that could happen if everything goes wrong" becomes "this is a realistic worst case scenario that's likely if nobody tries to stop it" becomes "this will definitely for sure happen unless we stop emissions right this second".
The main reason there's more programming work, is because machines are capable to do more(connectivity, mobility, ux, marketing, etc).
I believe you can take 100ml in.
> And while we are not certain, we believe the call was a deep-fake.

I'm always surprised more people don't record and save everything.

But then if they had, I think they would have realised it wasn't a deep fake.

Like Bigfoot or drone swarms or Russians spending all day shooting invisible weapons at diplomats, the lack of footage is not lack of surveillance. I do think at some point someone will cross a chimpanzee with a human though.

This was an impressive operation overall, the passport is very well done.
Actually, for ... in does both.

It is you who doesn't think that loop does what it actually does.

Please read the spec and verify with your favorite JS runtime before continuing this argument.
Ummmm.... Yes? I have done exactly this. The little shot sized plastic bottles are well under the liquid limit for airports in the U.S. I usually use them on the plane and mix them with the free ginger ale or tonic water.
They could prune that talent overnight if they wanted.
Ahh... LaGuardia. Last time I flew out of there they had porta potty for toilets. It might have been one of the worst airports I have been at.
Gee that is probably the most expensive pint I've ever seen.
The kind of stagnation we're talking about could accelerate inequality to the point that the french revolution looks like a rowdy ska scene.
Lowering difficulty of lifting boxes doesn't eliminate warehouse personnel: it means that now every worker can lift hundred of heavy boxes a day and the company can deliver 100x more stuff. Businesses don't want to get rid of personnel; they want to increase profit-per-employee and automation does just that.
To me hyperinflation is the real nightmare scenario for FIRE. In a hyperinflationary environment your retirement stash can go from infinite to > 1 year in less than a year.
That article is the source of the reporting in the main article here, which doesn’t really add much (except more invasive ads). Maybe @dang could replace the linked article with that one?
Flight bans are different from putting people on no-fly lists.

Were people asking to put what everyone who was possibly within coughing distance of someone with Ebola put on a no-fly list?

Flight bans are a blunt weapon. It may be necessary to use if there is a good reason.

No-fly lists affect due process and freedoms of Americans (I am not concerned with what Canada does or Guinea does, they can manage their own countries). It's fundamentally different.
The Handbook doc linked in the article shows how you can do the same over USB.

There’s a paradox here.

I notice developers who switch jobs a lot claim to do so to “grow”. But they might not really stay anywhere long enough to get good mentorship and feedback. Growth takes tough feedback that we often don’t want to hear.

There’s almost no market incentive to “grow”, and much more incentive to job hop, never leaving a honeymoon phase with an employer.

Why would you grow as a developer? It’s much easier to switch jobs for a pay raise.

The market is hot for developers, that there’s very market pressure to grow, TBH. (That is if your priority is purely financial, which often is not the full picture)
It doesn't perfectly translate IMHO. A bricklayer contractor that has a mostly automated machine doing 80% of the job would probably hire maybe 1 guy to get shit off the truck and clean dropped mortar. Normally he might have 2 or 3 extra guys to do some stretches or turns or something like that.
That’s starting to feel like a generalized descriptor of America.
