For organizing a large collection of items, searching is preferred to sorting.

With sorting, you must assume how you will want to access the information in the future and put the item in a bucket. That assumption can be wrong, or you can know that something fits in multiple buckets. A particular medical bill could go in buckets "Bills to Pay", "Provider X", or "Tax-related Bills".

Tagging (multi-attribute) is superior to sorting (single attribute, equivalent to a single folder/bucket). You could assign all the above tags to the example medical bill. Tagging really helps when the search engine cannot extract enough information to query on. Especially for short texts or non-textual items, adding contextual tags may be necessary for searchability.
This is a pretty cool technique but only one explanation is explored. What else could causing the dimming?

But it seems to me you just don't like NFTs. Most people who buy them know exactly what all this is about. If NFTs were "deceptive" in some ways (and of course there are always projects with 10K bot followers that aren't legit),then I'd agree with you. But I think for NFT people, it is what it is.

I think you highly overestimate the amount of research the average person does on a printer purchase. Yes, some people will buy a CR magazine or ask their friends/relatives opinion for a $30k car, but will they do that before buying a $60 printer?
Solar has become dramatically cheaper in the past decade but the policymakers don't seem capable of realizing it's still not enough for America's energy needs on its own, doubly so drought-ridden California.
"The responsible life before God" -- I don't think any modern person is capable of understanding what that meant in the 1940s. We just don't think that way anymore.

However, none of the comments so far have really grasped his point, which is that stupidity is a group phenomenon. Maybe a modern equivalent would be "tribe." Of course you can't convince someone of the other tribe to come over and join yours on any one particular issue; that would be betrayal of everything they think they stand for.

So logic is pointless. That representative of the other tribe cannot think and form his or her own opinion because that would mean expulsion from their tribe.
If you have the luxury of protesting with your job selection (as many do), then this is fine. Isn't it a slippery slope, though?

It's probably subconcious. It's normal for people to pickup mannerisms of the people around them, so it doesn't seem far fetched for people to pick up fake tics and other behaviors if they spend all day watching videos of people that exhibit those behaviors.

What I noticed when you buy the printer is that for cheap laser printers, included tonner sometimes has just 1000 pages rating or so, and replacement tonners are rated for 2000 or more. Manufacturer is probably hoping people will not notice.

Inkjet printers can do a fantastic job of printing photos and color documents, and maybe four times a year I would really like to do that at home. Unfortunately nobody seems to have built an inkjet printer with nozzles that don't gunk up, and cleaning the nozzles doesn't work very well and uses more ink and time than the document you wanted to print in the first place.

It's probably possible to design an inkjet printer that actually works as well in the real world as a laser printer, but it would threaten the business model of all the printer manufacturers so I'm not holding my breath.
I went with a Brother Laserjet after reading a recommendation comment here.
Amazon has cheap cartridges for it, too. The only issue I've had is wifi network connectivity. When it was plugged in worked flawlessly. This is a buy it for life product.
It was going to cost me $100+ to refill the inks on my large format HP inkjet photo printer. I took it up to the attic a few months back from whence it will likely go in the trash in a few years. I have the same Brother printer and it just works for occasional B&W printing. The rare color photo prints I want are easily handled (better) online and, while I'd like to print a color map or something now and then, it's not worth having an inkjet printer that will be used so seldom the ink will dry out.
This could almost be a good thing. If they shut this plant down and immediately start experiencing grid reliability issues it could get some press coverage and be a wakeup call

100%. I’ve had 4 Epson printers. All junk.
> Was this actually a plan, or just what ended up happening?

It's a good question, and depends on your perspective.

I said "planned to" because that is what the state has historically been doing -- relying on the rest of the west coast grid for 25-30% of its electricity, especially for swing capacity.

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=46156

"The California Independent System Operator is soliciting power producers across the West to sell more megawatts to the state in July and August in anticipation of regionwide heat waves that will substantially boost electricity demand." -- back in 2021. (https://www.wsj.com/articles/california-scrambles-to-find-el...)

So the grid has always been what's bailed California out from it's poor energy policies and what has saved California during the summer.

Now one can call this lack of planning, but if something's been going on for a few decades, then at some point it has to become part of the plan, although maybe not an official plan written down anywhere. But when someone discovers that the unofficial plan is not going to not work anymore, then you need to scramble.

FYI, the whole Enron electricity scandal was all about selling energy to California, because California is constantly in need of energy. Why they didn't wake up after that scandal and start building out more energy sources remains a mystery. Instead, they went in the other direction to reduce domestic capacity.

But that's not all, because a lot of the private utilities are being given mandates to get more green energy sources and storage that they are going to have a hard time meeting. You can't simply order someone to get battery power that lasts through the night when batteries last 4 hours. This is discussed in the article:

"“We are literally on the cutting edge” of rapidly adding renewables, Mr. Wan [PG&E] said. “And along with that, there are some things we are learning by trial and error, and we are taking some risks in the process.”"

In other words, you have the legislature giving mandates that the CPUC can't meet, and then the CPUC gives mandates to the producers that they can't meet, but everyone is shaking each other's hand at what a green future they are building.

Meanwhile, the lights in California are kept on by coal and gas fired plants in the rest of the country. That system obviously doesn't work if the rest of the country tries to adopt California's model.
True, but I would have figured that by now, so many people would have had bad experiences with inkjet printers from HP/epson/canon that they would have sought out that information. Or maybe even retailers would promote it so people are more satisfied with their purchases.
All this effort for what is certain to be an imprecise implementation and slow (forcing the page to redo layout multiple times is not worth solving the widow problem, IMO).

I agree! However, I think when violence becomes addictive its because it gets linked to sexuality. Mostly I’m just saying I agree.

I read an interesting essay years ago from a psych-educated person (leaving that intentionally vague because I don’t remember) who was urging moviemakers not to reduce the amount of sex or violence in movies, but to separate those scenes in movies by some amount of time like 5 minutes: ok to have a sex scene, ok to have a murder scene, but please no sexy murder scenes.
yes. It hadn't landed yet.
> My experience with Nix is that it's 95% wonderful, 5% very painful.

This is very true. Having used NixOS as my main OS for 5 or 6 years now, the encouraging thing is that the '95%', the 'happy path' is growing all the time. It'll never be 100%, but more and more people will find that Nix's 95% covers 100% of their own use cases. (This is especially true as Flatpak matures and gains popularity, making it more and more useful as an escape hatch for running oddball software that Nixpkgs contributors haven't had a chance to wrangle yet.)
As a former teenager (but not girl) I think it's just an attention thing. Teens competing for attention from others isn't new, but now, thanks to the web and Social Media, the competition is world wide and measurable by counting your likes. Which means you need to do sillier and quirkier things to win. It's product differentiation but you are your own product. In the 90s I wore combat boots and a black trench coat. Today I guess it's pretending you have a disease. "LOL, kids" I guess.
Not sure if satire. But if not:

Yeah, and with Optional you would have found it at compile-time.

I agree with the general thrust of your comment, though; just unsure of some details.
> Impose a huge pollution tax on any oil/crude removed from the ground. 30$/barrel, increasing by 10$ per year until we get to 100$/barrel.

Extracting the oil from the ground doesn't cause greenhouse gas emissions in and of itself - burning fuel does. We should tax carbon emissions. We should tax oil extraction too, but that wouldn't be a pollution tax.

> Modern economics, be it the theory, the people practicing it, the political structures that influence policy, is a massive failure because of itss utter inability to not just consider 5 or 10 or 20 years into the future.

Economists overwhelmingly support a carbon tax. It is politically difficult to get done in the US, but the climate scientists and economists are united on this front - pollution is an externality that laissez-faire libertarianism can't deal with, and we need a carbon tax to price it in.

A carbon tax which is redistributed evenly wouldn't be regressive either, and Austria is even implementing such a system.

There’s probably a theory in there that any technological or social system is doomed to have periodic major preventable failures as a function of human life span and attention. If people aren’t reminded of failure they will inevitably neglect the system until it happens.

There’s a follow up whereby it might be optimal to design systems explicitly to allow somewhat frequent non catastrophic failures to keep people on their toes. Attempts at “perfect” safety seeming to only build up to less frequent but bigger disasters.

People don't even realize that trivializing it is doing real harm to people that actually have it. I was diagnosed with ADD as an adult, and it took about a month to find a psychiatrist willing to see me because most think that you probably just want drugs because "omg, I'm like, so ADHD sometimes". I've talked to other people with it, and it's a common issue.
Honestly for me the HP instant ink plan works quite well. The lowest tier is 99 cents a month and gets me 15 pages which are sufficient. Certain months I might go over my allotment but that’s not breaking the bank. Their cartridges run really long as well - haven’t needed a new one in 2 years.

So are there any privacy friendly phones outside of Apple’s ecosystem? I have been hoping someone would make a premium Android phone that is ungoogled and doesn’t play these games. Right now I have to choose between Apple’s tightly controlled walled garden and Android phones that are more open but not privacy friendly.
I think it would be cool if you could have some kind of combo human+ML system, where you use ML to actually detect the different objects and track them between frames, and a human can choose what color to use for each one. In a couple shots at least the Hindenburg showed as fully red instead of silver, and I don't think it is always possible for an algorithm to actually know the correct color without external data. If the algorithm could just say "I've identified this object between frames", and then the human can choose the correct color, could be best of both worlds.

Or maybe you could feed in some reference photos with the same objects, but already colorized. And then the algorithm could match objects from the reference photos to those in the black and white ones to get the colors.
Careful with off-brand toner. The toner particles are often jagged rather than smooth, which can damage the fuser roller, requiring replacement. This happened to me after a few years of using off-brand toner. I was able to perform the repair myself, and granted the cost wasn't as much as buying on-brand toner, but it was challenging (lots of delicate parts) and I don't wish to repeat the experience.

Isn’t that the point of Optional? It just moves that identification of those error states to compile-time rather than at runtime.

I wonder if there is correlation between what people think of as incompetence and the population of the state. Would be interesting to look at. I have no data to support this just a guess but I would guess when population increases you get things like this. I mean Texas is the second most populous state and is literally politically the opposite of California. There power grid was 5 mins away from literally crashing completely. So it sure is not what"side" the government picks. Both have struggled with power distribution.
What do you imagine that would look like? Not trying to be flippant, genuinely curious.
It isn't that hard to imagine. First you do some strange movement on accident, someone says "do you have tics?" because they watched a video about tics, then you try to joke so you say "Yeah!" and do some exaggerated tics. They take you seriously and now think you have tics, and you can't admit it was all a joke so you continue. Then the lie just grows from there until your parents take you to a doctor and it got so big that now you think people would get mad to you if you said you made it all up, so just keep it up.

Thanks for posting this, it rings very true.
There's a sensor that checks the toner level. The tape tricks it into thinking the level passes instead of not passing.

I don't remember if it just stops the printer from complaining about the level, or if it refuses to print with a low level.
Have two of them, youngest under 3, and a full time single parent. If you don’t plan ahead and direct them usefully, they’ll roll you hard (not out of malice, but because they’re kids) and everyone has a much tougher time.
When no one has direct experience of a thing, but everyone has heard vague second-hand stories about a thing, that's a good indication the thing is a rumor, or a rare situation that somehow got blown out of proportion and misrepresented as a common case.
Hides the fill level from the optical sensor. They can be rather pessimistic about the quality of print that you'll get at lower levels.
I'd be much more interested if it was a mobile app.
