Even Brother is dodgy, depending on the model. I have a low-midrange Brother B&W laser printer that worked great until one day it decided to stop accepting print jobs, both via network and USB… it just stalls at “processing” and never proceeds. Googling around it seems like people with various Brother models have seen this behavior.
Yes, that's great! I just wish it was paired with the more ambitious stick of banning new gas hookups.
>If anyone had any doubt about whether Elon really had the environment in mind when he founded Tesla, I think now you've got your answer.

This sort of "tribal purity" logic is silly: "if you've ever done anything negative, it means you never intended to do anything positive."

This is nothing but the environmentalism equivalent of the old "you're either with us or against us, we're at war!" fallacy.

Rockets have always used fossil fuels. This is not news. The fact that SpaceX is vertically integrating changes nothing about that. On the contrary it likely reduces leaks (which is a good thing) by shortening the processing chain.
Kinda sounds like the whole economy though.
This story is just going around. its been weeks and people still think it is new and noteworthy.
HP screwed me the same way a few years ago. I now have a Brother Lazer printer. Fuck HP. Threw that junk in the trash.
I am not sure we have good language for what the OP is talking about. You have hard dirty jobs that anyone can do, but there are some where there is sort of cut off that eliminates people.

Again, the EPA exists, so where are they in this? What loophole is SpaceX using to skirt around the EPA?
Why not bother with pentesting?

There’s no Catch-22 if you know the potential clients socially…or your parents and grandparents do.

It’s not that that advantage means a person doesn’t have to work hard. It means that hard work is more likely to produce success.

Even more important the social connections make hard work more likely to produce success. Prior familiarity with $6000 cakes creates intuition regarding where to prioritize efforts and where efforts don’t produce returns.

For example, what is the optimum resource commitment to the cake box. About how good does it need to be? Not enough is bad. Too much is money left on the table.
Those suggestions, honestly, don't sound better than the keyword to me. I think you're taking it as a given that if a keyword can be avoided, it must be avoided, but I don't fundamentally agree with that at all.
Yeah, but char sucks. It's not a synonym for octet. Not guaranteed to be 8 bits. Its signedness is even ambiguous unless unsigned is specified.

The correct type is uint8_t/u8. Sadly, using that to alias other types is undefined. I've also seen hashing algorithms which used uint16_t/u16, with similar aliasing optimization bugs. Sometimes you want to reinterpret things as a struct, too.

This is the reason why Linux compiles with strict aliasing disabled.
I’m tempted to track down an old LaserWriter myself, those things don’t quit. Are you able to find toner for yours reliably?
It really isn’t very good. It’s worse than you’d get from low cost hand retouching outsourced to a low cost of labor geo as was done in the 80s.
Yes it is single pass, this particular model is an HP750C+. I had a wide format pen plotter before it and it would send the paper back and forth which was pretty mesmerizing but it required a lot of maintenance on the paper handling system so that the paper wouldn't slip.

The HP inkjet "plotter" works by rasterizing the plot in the host computer's memory and then sending strips of raster to the plotter. The dot resolution of the print head (replaceable, but not part of the ink system) matches the 0.7mm resolution of the pen plotters it replaced.
And yet they basically all learn it. Japan’s literacy is very high. It’s not hard, it’s just tedious and time-consuming.

Microsoft doesn’t publish an accurate list of IP ranges, and pushes many things to Akamai, so you need to whitelist a few dozen domains.

When I ran a very large O365 environment, it was even harder as we had a dedicated 10Gb circuit to Microsofts network, and and depending on various bugs, conditions, etc, you could easily send traffic to the wrong place and impact performance. (For example, if you inspect TLS traffic, that latency will kill Outlook application performance)

It seems that the best method to use with non-specialized GPIO is the charge transfer. Instead of using a resistor, charge a sampling capacitor.

The presentation below deals with a specialized block, but the only major change is using hardware for cycle counting and multiplexing a single sampling capacitor.

The problem is that you can't statically confirm this via static analysis when you use recursive locks. You can only use runtime lock dep analysis to figure out when you might have gotten it wrong. Often you may not acquire locks in the same function, so it's not very intuitive based on control flow to understand whether or not you've acquired them in the wrong order.

Equity is a term of law that means all parties are treated fairly. Given that critical race theory originated among legal theorists, I would not be surprised to learn that they make heavy use of the concept.

Critical social justice is a portmanteau term coined by Pluckrose and Lindsay that is being heavily pushed by media sympathetic to their brand of culture war. Neither of them are idiots, but equally I don't find either of them to be highly intellectually honest. I recommend avoiding the term CSJ on HN except where we want to talk about Pluckrose, Lindsay and their entourage, since I think the term tends to undermine curious conversation.

> Are all properties suitable for a heat pump though? That's the question.

Generally, yes, but of course it always depends on specific circumstances.

Read up on heat pumps! They're really cool. And yes they're like air conditioning units that can cool and also heat. In addition to heat pump space heating there are also heat pump hot water heaters and heat pump clothes driers and it seems both are more efficient and non-polluting.

It feels magical that they can pull heat from outside in the winter, but that's what they do! The more recent units can even do it in very cold temperatures.
> forcing the page to redo layout multiple times is not worth solving the widow problem, IMO

I'm not sure I agree, if it enhances readability. The users are there to read articles, so this is exactly the right place to spend spare CPU cycles.

Of course, it should be optimized as much as possible, and it sounds like the NYT's implementation was not very optimized. Then again, it also sounds like the NYT only briefly experimented with their version, and does not use it today.

> Why not spend the effort exploring the problem at the browser implementation level?

Well, but the NYT is not fundamentally a technology company, so pushing for browser changes seems beyond their scope IMO. Adobe did try, for their part.
My theory is that they are torturing you to give up and use Azure AD.

The other big issue is that they saddled with the technical debt of legacy auth, and many failure scenarios lead to that path, which really sucks.

That’s a serious accusation without evidence.

The document clearly states that Spacex has an application with the FAA for the use of the land as a Launch Site.

The subsidiary “Lone star mineral extraction” is an entity that purchased another company along with all their licenses for extraction rights in addition to seemingly applying for their own licenses.

I’d recommend you edit your comment to correct it. There is no sidestepping of regulations here, the regulations themselves cover different things and the article makes it sound like one set of regulations should cover these activities while clearly saying that it currently does not.

tech?

what do you mean exactly?
I disagree. A few years ago I bought Epson XP-6000 after a few years of laser printers. It's the best printer I ever had. Ink is ok in price but I don't use the printer much. It works whenever I need it though. On top of it, it's also a great photo printer. Printed tens of photos to date and all come out ok - comparable to consumer shop photo printers (the ones you can use in big shops).

... is not some metal gears.

All three of those are machines with fundamentally different functions and capabilities.

I have (long ago) supported consumer grade printers in an enterprise environment. They're so bad as to be unusable. You spend way more than the $10,000 on the nice copier in lost productivity due to poor reliability and additional IT labor required to fix a fleet of inkjets.

With a $10,000 copier, you push out an group policy to install it on everyone's PC and it runs pretty smoothly and can take the load. If you put $100 inkjets on 80 different desks, you end up having to hire another FTE just to manage the cartridge replacements, driver installations, head cleanings, paper jams, etc. And the experience is worse for the end users too. If they need 250 handouts printed in the next 10 minutes, they simply can't do it.

Using patents as a proxy for innovation seems to be questionable. Most of the larger tech firms develop what are known as "defensive patents". Many of these patents may or may not actually be used for anything, and their actual value is questionable. Engineers will brainstorm an idea, and throw it over the wall to legal, who then will 'refine' the idea into something patentable. Typically, the original idea will only be vaguely recognizable after the lawyers get through with it.

To my knowledge, these patents provide no value to the company or society beyond being a negotiating tool if another company tries to sue them for infringing a patent.

That is to say, the only use these patents have are for big companies, so it's unsurprising that big companies, concentrated in a few metro areas, are the only ones wasting time to create them.
Right now seems to be a perfect time to announce such large subsidies on heat pump installations. For two reasons:

1. A lot of people in the UK have actually had their savings grow because of covid. Not being able to spend on holidays and going out etc (I realise some have not fared so well).

2. The current crisis in gas.

I think they're going to be swamped with people who want to take advantage of this. I don't think they're going to be able to keep up with the demand. I'm personally going to be on top of it as soon as it becomes available.

People are being critical of SpaceX for this, but it makes perfect sense for their business model.

As climate change disrupts life on earth there will be greater demand for SpaceX's and Tesla's products and services. It is only rational Elon Musk would seek to accelerate climate change - it would be foolish of him to try and stop it. Every ton of carbon in the atmosphere will eventually become money in his pocket.
According to google: Some common bread preservatives include calcium propionate, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, and sorbic acid.

You need proper stroke order to write Kanji with a pen. You want to write Japanese with a pen a lot if you want to learn to read written Japanese because it builds 'muscle memory', i.e. an intimate, up-close-and-personal knowledge of the structure of the components of Kanji. This helps learning to read, a lot. Learning to read Japanese just by staring at printed characters is a lot harder; it's totally doable but it really gets hard beyond a few frequent and graphically salient characters.

If you want your handwriting to look acceptable, then proper stroke order is an absolute must. When you go further and learn cursive and grass script, then you'll get to learn multiple stroke orders per character (and hundreds of conventionalized doodles for components and whole characters).

> Ceylon would be a closer case where nullable types are represented as sum types and not a special-case in the language (`String | Null` is the same as `String?`).

Aren't those union types? My understanding is that they are different from sum types, as you usually have to declare the sum types beforehand, and sum types are collections of values, while union types are collections of types, and are often declared "on the spot". At least that's how they work in Typescript, I don't know much about Ceylon.

To go back to option types, people usually like them because there are well-known patterns to program with them (like map). Of course you can get the same safety with static flow analysis (Typescript does this), but I think part of it is ergonomics, influenced by functional programming. Though if there is an overhead like in Java, I'm not sure about their value.
Closing a $6,000 deal with a decision maker at a big company is different than closing a $30 deal with my grandpa. Getting on the radar of the decision maker at a big company is a different skill than getting my grandpa’s attention.

There's a huge problem with this. The incentive you are describing isn't to do good code reviews. The incentive there is to do a lot of code reviews. Those two are not the same and while they are not mutually exclusive, just by tracking this metric and rating people on it, you are not giving an incentive for good code review. Only for fast review. But you really want both. You want fast and you want good and thorough.

I completely agree that senior and lead people should be doing more reviews and thus help everyone else, ultimately benefiting other programmers and the whole organization overall.

Not if you understand what they mean by violence. I assume they mean the kind of violence that goes with stochastic terrorism. Dave Chapelle doesn't have to intend for his words to cause harm to cause harm. Netflix doesn't have to intend it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_wolf_attacks

You don't have to agree that stochastic terrorism is real, but calling someone a liar because you don't understand the model of violence they're referring to doesn't make them a liar. It just means you lacked context. And now you don't.

Every dude who murders a trans woman bases his fear and rage on the exact same ignorance Netflix spreads through the chain of stand-up shows I did watch that meant I didn't need to bother with this one to know the deal.

Systems thinking incorporates reductionism - you do think about the individual parts as well as the hole. Systems thinking is a synthesis of reductionism and holistic/emergence thinking, and both are necessary.

From Meadow's "Thinking in Systems": I start with the basics: the definition of a system and a dissection of its parts (in a reductionist, unholistic way). Then I put the parts back together to show how they interconnect to make the basic operating unit of a system: the feedback loop.

It is not an antidote so much as an acknowledgment of the incompleteness of reductionism.
I find the concept of their 'jars' and the classification into u/ru/i-verbs and na/no-nouns and so on novel, interesting, and also at least not wrong on the intuitive level.
This. Please, we don't need any more wage slaves in this industry. I already work with a bunch of people who don't have any interest in correct solutions but would rather just ship code. Feedback is non-existent or unwelcome. If their code is wrong, it's not, you're wrong. I'm 10-years professional and I have never met such a rude and entitled generation of bootcampers who think they deserve six-figures for figuring how how to return an array,

I mean your (only?) argument for the constexpr keyword at this point is "it can be a keyword and I feel like it should be, even when I acknowledge it's redundant" then by all means go ahead. Personally I don't think that's a good way to do language design, but I can't argue with subjective feelings and aesthetics and I was never intending to. I'm pretty sure that's not one of the bases on which it made it into the standard though, and those are what I'm trying to address.
I'm not an expert on Kotlin but this reminds me of JS promises. The issue was that by not supporting Promise<Promise<T>>, promises were not monadic. It look like the same issue in Kotlin.
Seems that it could be used to solve an old-time classic: generate a mapping from an enum value to its string representation. Another use case that comes to my mind is maybe automating test case generation. Occasionally I was running into situations where I thought code generation could be useful, but not sure what could be a "killer app" equivalent for this feature.
