Inkjets work ok and get a lot less gunky if you use them frequently. The problem that I have (and I assume you do too), is if I'm printing a couple of times a year, it's hard to spend two or three times the amount on a laser printer than a cheak inkjet. Even though the laser printer is the right answer. I did end up getting a laser printer last year when my child was printing a lot from chromebooks and Chrome OS stopped supporting cloud print, but also didn't support my inkjet (via network or usb). Shopping at CDW Outlet helped a bunch with pricing, but you have to be in the shopping phase when the right inventory is there.
They idea that MS-DOS is the only thing that allowed Bill Gates to be rich is ridiculous. Bundling office as one package helped a lot too. Stealing windows from Apple who stole it from Xerox was another huge bet. The guy would have had to make those decision as well.
Peak irony.

He calls out stupid people for being merely vessels for ideologies. Then immediately proceeds to declare - with effortless stupidity - that god is the source of liberation from stupidity.

It's peak irony. And it effortlessly describes the real state of the world; we are all bound by the ideas that flow through us. There is no escape into critical reasoning or any other ideology, precisely because these are all ideologies. They are merely information structures flowing through the network. You are always going to be 'stupid' by his definition unless you personally verify all the information you receive and conduct well designed experiments that you personally see the results of. Otherwise you are choosing a side and trusting one cluster of information structures over another. The world is a hall of mirrors - get used to it and design your world view to accept this state of affairs.
Not just now - EU has pushed for a common phone charger previously and most manufacturers went with Micro-USB at the time, except Apple. Now, EU is just pushing that further with less loopholes.

As for the time between adoption and enforcement - there has to be reasonable time given between for everybody to adjust to the new regulation.
But the premise of Bonhoeffer's theory predicts this will fall on deaf ears.
It's a term from Snow Crash, for the 3D virtual worlds there. And well, a world which requires selling virtual stuff and virtual space to people is kind of the thing of the web3/crypto folks right now.
“We can imagine many little tongues, a 千housand specifically, to help us recall this kanji and how to draw it.”

Well, first of all, my teachers would take issue with “drawing” kanji. You write Chinese characters, just like you write letters in English.

Second of all, my teachers would encourage you to not rely much on mnemonic devices. There is a large body of research about how effective mnemonics are for learning.

From https://journals.sagepub.com/stoken/rbtfl/Z10jaVH/60XQM/full

> On the basis of the literature reviewed above, we rate the keyword mnemonic as low utility. We cannot recommend that the keyword mnemonic be widely adopted. It does show promise for keyword-friendly materials, but it is not highly efficient (in terms of time needed for training and keyword generation), and it may not produce durable learning.

(Note that the paper specifically discusses learning foreign language vocabulary.)

The thing is… it should not take you long to learn Chinese characters. You can just put in the time to memorize it by going over it again and again, and trying to read aloud passages written in Japanese, or answering questions about the content. Really engaging with the material and using it in the same way you intend to use it in the future.

I see a lot mnemonic tricks, apps, etc. for foreign language learning. For some reason, a lot of focus on Japanese, specifically (never seen a post about learning Spanish on Hacker News). My opinion of these apps and techniques is, by and large, very low. If you want to be proficient, you should be reading and writing as much material as possible, and you can remember Chinese characters mostly with rote memorization, with maybe a little bit of mnemonics to help you get started. Only a small percentage of Chinese characters are pictograms. Once you get into the 500-1,000 character range, you’ll be making guesses at character meanings from context and radicals.

Coming up with better mnemonics, or better ways to introduce mnemonics, is a low-value activity. You can go through an entire book of mnemonics that teaches you 1,000 Chinese characters and retain none of it.

What you want is a curriculum that exposes you to kanji incrementally, with plenty of sample text that you can practice reading (and answer questions about!). The sample text should have a high percentage of characters you know from previous lessons, use a few new characters, and occasionally toss in a character (with furigana) that you have to figure out from context.

In the early 90's I was working in early streamed digital video. One of the projects was a history of aviation documentary. The original negatives of early flight, including the original Wright Brothers flights are lost. But in many cases paper print outs of them remain. Before copyright was extended to film, to get a copyright a film had to be printed to paper. These paper print outs are all that remain. But this being the early 90's, there was no machine learning nor a formal field of computer vision as we know it now. We painstakingly scanned the thousands of feet of printed film, and reconstructed them as CLUT-127 (color look up table) animations. I seem to remember that project got streaming media awards of some sort. It was a long time ago.
>Yet at this very point it becomes quite clear that only an act of liberation, not instruction, can overcome stupidity. Here we must come to terms with the fact that in most cases a genuine internal liberation becomes possible only when external liberation has preceded it.

>It really will depend on whether those in power expect more from people’s stupidity than from their inner independence and wisdom.

Pretty radical. I'm still digesting. On the one hand, I do think that people, free in the external and internal sense tend to make better decisions than otherwise. But on the other hand I feel there is a missing necessary condition here. But I'm not sure what it is
I own an Epson EcoTank ET-2650.

Despite costing more than traditional inkjet printers, I find that build quality is not that great (cheap creaking plastic, scanner bed occasionally detatching from its hinge).

Another issue I have with it is that ink level reporting is inaccurate; indeed, the manual itself recommends to visually inspect the tanks, which are semi-transparent and can be observed without opening the printer. However, I found that it's impossible to do that because dried ink covering the inner surface of the tank makes it impossible to distinguish the actual ink level line. Because of that, I have to remember to look inside the tanks to check if a refill is needed from time to time.

That said, ink lasts ages and refilling is cheap compared to cartridges, so overall I'm happier with it than with any other traditional inkjet printer.

If you don't need color printing, laser is the way.
The problem is, as a developer trying to fix issues, telemetry can be extremely helpful... but if it's solely opt-in, then virtually nobody will actually use it, and then what's the point.
Do you have a source for what Bonhoeffer would have meant by that?

I have my own guess to its meaning, but I hesitate to say it does/doesn't match his definition without seeing some exposition on it.
Just note that PG&E is the entity who has stated the Shoreline fault is only capable of a 6.5 magnitude earthquake - while the plant is designed to be capable of handling [after post-construction updates] an earthquake up to 7.5 magnitude (10X since it's a log scale).

Also note, the linked page states there are four "nearby" faults -- it doesn't state the distance to them, but included is the San Andreas fault, and I'm relatively confident we know it's capable of producing >= 7.5 magnitude earthquakes.

I don't know, nor claim to know, much of anything about how susceptible [or not] this plant is to seismic events -- and I'm generally quite pro-nuclear -- but it's worth noting that there are other seismic concerns here, and potentially some questionable incentives for PG&E who is the one attesting to the capabilities of the area & this specific plant.
NRC's estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at Diablo Canyon was 1 in 23,810 according to an NRC study published in August 2010.

It's curious how these both name a phenomenon with words that seem off-target, "stupidity" or "nationalism"; they seem to mean something like reducing yourself to a soldier for an egregore. Anyone have a better word for the general pattern?

I use a method along the same lines. I have two 'triage' folders, one for internal emails and one for external. Everything else gets a folder and a matching rule once I get more than a few emails from the sender or it is evident that I want the emails to be identified and sorted. I use nested folders to group people and topics then a rule that pops a notice if an email is sent to me directly. It varies per org and per role but I end up with a structure that is excellent at me seeing and responding to my emails in a timely way. I make sure to have conversation view on and that provides cross visibility in the folders. I agree with you on the tasks and archive recommendations as there is even more integration with To Do and Planner in the MS ecosystem. It is important to try out different methods and figure out what works best for you. Personally, I like making the computer do the work and that's been effective even in the upper thousands of emails.
Can we identify if both sides are actually stupid or is that just the perception of both sides?
Yes you did describe explicitly a thinkpad. Why is trackpoint a preference?

The most equivalent Rust type to `Long` would be `Option<Box<u64>>`, which is represented as a nullable pointer to a u64. `Box<Option<u64>>` is represented as a non-nullable pointer to a struct containing a u64 number and an aligned-to-u64 discriminant.

Does it change the benchmarks? Not if you let the inner function get inlined: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/Ejc5c7sE8
Yep. Filing expenses can take an unreasonable amount of time especially when some percentage are bounced for some trivial reason.

You can set this in the OS itself.
Rust is statically typed and doesn't have null returns, so it's got advantages for correctness, but the big win with Rust vs. Python would be performance, not security.
Nope you are correct. It was early and I misread it as NYT. That is my mistake
Malicious people's lies can be debunked, but the stupid people who believe the lies can't be corrected through debunking.

We see this a lot today. Although it's nothing new, social media and the internet has made it easier for people to find those lies, and find others to help reinforce the lies in each other's minds.
I agree. Add null checking at compile time with something like checkerframework to get the best of both worlds.
There some thermal dye sublimation printers targeted at the home market for making 4x6" prints. The cost-per-print is pretty hideous compared to a local store's photo dept. or online photo printing services, but the quality is pretty good and the units seem to get good reviews. I've seen them used for print-on-demand at events (think "photo booths", etc).

Same here. Brother is the only printer brand I have used thus far that doesn't feel like its trying to scam me for my money.
Ya that is my mistake sorry it was early and somehow I misread WSJ as NYT.
I feel you, but for me it's not a list of deficiencies in OSX. I came from Linux then used OSX almost exclusively (because work) for about 4 years and I still hate it. I agree the list of things above are real problems, but you could solve all of them and I'd still hate it.

For me it basically it comes down to this:

Macs are just similar enough to the Linux to fool me into thinking I know what I'm doing. But then things are just subtly different such that nothing quite works. It's like, if you were Satan and your Q4 objective was to design a computer that you could give to me -- a "computer expert" -- to make me feel like a moron every time I try to do literally anything at all on it... Apple computers pretty much hit it out of the park.

It's also a lot of little usability things. I thought Apple was supposed to be the usability king? Yet it patently cannot handle simple things like:

* I want "natural" scrolling on the touchpad, but "regular" scrolling when using a plugged-in mouse with a mousewheel. The options are in TWO DIFFERENT settings windows, but changing one changes the other. Why? Even Linux, not famed as the Usability King, had this figured out in 2012.

* I want one of my monitors to be vertical. When I plug them in, it's a coin-toss as to whether or not it will remember which one it is. 50% of the time I have to tilt my head 90 degrees and set the 270* monitor to 0* and the 0* monitor to 270*. In the end I wrote an apple-script to do this automatically and bound it to a keyboard key.
In other words, halting problem could be solved if we have sentient program which could intellectually interpret given code and say will it terminate or not (just like you as reader do with examples in the article).

1. Full size keyboard with a numpad. If I can't type on it then I won't buy it.

2. 1080p internal display. I won't buy it if the internal screen resolution isn't at least 1080p.

3. Works with Linux. That's a dealbreaker if I can't put Linux on it.

4. Discrete GPU that can be enabled/disabled without rebooting. Not for games, though that's a bonus. I write software that uses GPU acceleration and I need to test it in the field.

5. External display including connecting to a TV -- HDMI/HDCP, displayport, or USB-C passthrough. It doesn't need to use the GPU but that would be preferred.

6. Power management: when active, the battery should last a full work day unless I have the GPU/peripherals on; when I close my lid everything should suspend to NVMe and practically zero power use from then on.

7. User-upgradeable components: at a minimum, disks and RAM should be interchangeable.

8. Kill-switch for camera/mic which physically disconnects them.

9. Discrete audio / microphone 3.5mm jacks. The audio out jack may be a combined audio+mic jack, but I often have a headset which doesn't have an a combined audio+mic.

10. Discrete ethernet port. 1Gbit is outdated; give me 10Gbit! We've got 10Gbit USB and thunderbolt, there's no reason to not have 10Gbit ethernet.

James Guthrie made the call back to his residence as a joke to create the basis of the call to incorporate it into the album.

They can be surprisingly hard to get in some areas of the world. For example, I live in Portugal and larger shops like Worten, Fnac, El Corte Ingles have anything but Brother printers. Even IT providers for business and PC shops rarely have them in stock. You can mail-order them from Brother Portugal but not many people know that and will do that.

It's quite mysterious and I'd like to know the reasons.
The first part of what you say is not valid: outside groups have estimated the capabilities of the close Shoreline fault. The rest of your comment I agree with. Although I would point out that if San Andreas quaked at (eg) 8, it would not be 8 when it reached Diablo Canyon.

According to USGS seismologist, Jeanne L. Hardebeck, the Shoreline Fault has potential to trigger an earthquake of 6.4–6.8 magnitude
I had a networking class in a computer lab where there was an unmetered printer. Almost all student accessible printers on campus cost money to use; I can only guess this slipped through the cracks somehow. Every day some idiot would be printing off entire power point presentations for all the lectures she was in and who knows what else. The printer would be running for the first half the class. Disgusting wastefulness.

Tolkein said that it didn't pay to leave a dragon out of your calculations, if you happened to live near one. In the same way, it's a good idea to think very carefully about how God affects you, if you happen to live in a universe where He exists.

So the first question is, do you live in such a universe? Is He there, or not? Not "would you prefer Him to exist, or not?" Not "Does your culture say He exists?" But does He actually exist? Is He really there?

If He exists, this is a very different universe than if He doesn't. And it would be wisdom to live in a manner that fits the universe you are in...
Not a baker, but a local bakery popped up recently in Phoenix. It’s a high end French patisserie, easily equalling anything I’ve had in Paris.

The baker comes from Switzerland where he was previously a banker. He has no formal baking training, and yet produces the highest quality products.

Although the demand for high end French pastries is relatively low in Phoenix (there is no competition), he’s found a core customer base that clears him out every Saturday.

1. Overall aescetics - even though it's just a tool, I must feel great while having it on my lap and working with it. Don't like bulky, plastic, RGBalike workhorses. Once I was able to pay for what my eyes like, I've bought Zenbook UX32LN (which still has my wife, after 6 years of power use (great machine, still work flawlessly)). Now for 2 years I was using Surface Book 2 15" (which I bought solely because I fell in love with hinge design and screen quality). This year I was waiting for some update regarding the hinge though but Microsoft introduced Surface Studio, which I don't like because its overall design so I decided to keep SB2 for a bit more as I don't see any nice looking laptops currently on the market that would fit my taste.

2. Keyboard - it must be good quality with fine font (again, aescetics :)), must have highlight, chiclet type, would be great if had extra right key column with PGup/PGdown/home/end buttons (I'm really sad that so few models has it - I've found it really handy for heavy programming)

2.1. Touchpad - must be good quality, support gestures and have nice surface to interact with (preferably glass)

3. Battery life - no need for whole day, but at least for ~4 hours on normal performance is totally fine.

4. Since I use Surface Book 2, I'm really into 3:2 screen aspect ratio - it's really great for work.

Meh. Knowing about “the scam” is not enough to avoid it. People already know ink cartridges are expensive.

To get a good deal you have to calculate TCO which requires understanding consumable prices, yields, and print volumes, and doing the math to figure out all of your options.

You analogy is poor. No one is saying she wasn’t fired, just that the reasons she was fired for were likely legitimate.

(Personally I would guess she got the attention of management through her activism, then they watched and waited for her to do something clearly against company policy so they had a good excuse to fire her. Whether that’s strictly legitimate or not, I don’t know. Maybe it will be settled in court.)
As far as I can tell, every human culture has some taboos about these things. In my readings, I've never heard of a culture where the base state is nudity and this is unremarkable. Even in cultures where we think they're nude, they're still working their own modesty standards. I am reminded how in some traditional New Guinean cultures, the males wear nothing but a gourd to cover the genitalia. But they're very shy without the gourds. Similarly, there isn't a single culture ever documented (to the best of my knowledge) where lovers don't usually seek some degree of privacy.

Of course, exactly what counts as nude (or public lovemaking) and just how draconian the repercussions for transgression are, varies greatly.
