That is exactly the perspective I had when I made it. I had a very simple problem, some times, we need to scan, how to achieve with least possible effort.

I spent less time implementing this (includes installing the raspberry pi os) than I've spent in the past trying to get windows on the wifes pc to recognize that old psc1600 (trash-picked, only using it as a scanner). Now we can share it over the network, plugged the laser-printer into the pi as well and shared that via cups. Lives improved.
I blame the terrible education system and software hiring practices. Graduating students don't know how to build software in a team, businesses do not properly onboard, and hiring practices are like an exam that has nothing to do with the work being done. Companies are becoming more averse to hiring those that actually learned software and didn't just fluff their resume with degrees and bootcamps because less engineers are doing the hiring.

Those that didn't have to work for it sit back and enjoy the paycheck while getting by with the minimum amount of work. To everyone involved work can just be a free payday, if the product fails they'll move elsewhere. Or if the product is too big to fail it's guaranteed anyways. Actual engineers are a rarity, and these companies don't like them because they point out how management has been milking the project.
Only after I had to do some non-trival Bash scripting did I stop hating Perl's syntax. For one thing, at least Perl wasn't as bad as Bash. For another, I now understood where Perl came from!

Perl's syntax is a relic of its time, and it blazed a trail for what to do (and what to avoid!) in later scripting languages.

While it is true that they will likely not see any money, it does mean that they have effectively banished these people from the US.

Perhaps it's not as life altering as jail or fines, but still: no holidays in Florida or Hawaii. No meeting peers at a congres in the US. Not even using flights from American carriers to go to South America, as they will likely pass via a US hub.

Worse. If they ignore the whole thing, at some point they will get condemned of contempt of court. That's a criminal offense. That means you can try and get interpol involved. Once you have an interpol Red Notice to your name, international travel to any civilized country becomes complicated.

"Sunk cost" is for money you've already spent!

The sunk cost here is my existing forced-air electric heat, which is already installed in my house and already turns 1 watt of electricity into 1 watt of heat, or the other space heater I bought ten years ago and can easily put anywhere I need spot heating. If the goal is turn electricity into heat and nothing else, then I am already well supplied with ways to do that.

I've been following lemmy [0] for a while, a federated reddit alternative in the same spirit as mastodon. It's still very small, but I think as monetization pressure on reddit increases, people will look for other places to post and this might be one of them :)

Removing downvotes is largely something advertisers demand. Advertising is still stuck in some old ways. I know some in corporate ad departments that feel the need to respond to every negative comment on the internet. That is implementing hell for anybody that has that task.
to expand-- the original poster shows that this is in Gen 6. But man was created a few chapters earlier. Thus, if one accepts the genesis creation myth as some standard of truth, God's original plan was that:

we are created in his image
In his image we are created.
Man and woman we are created.

i.e. the bible says god intends us to be as fully-formed and perfect ("immortal") as god.

addendum: the form I gave above is a well-known poetic form where the rhyme is in the ideas. Thus the very strong implication that the image of god is "man and woman"; a full being has both.

addendum II: Recall also that this says a full person should have both male and female aspects; Eve was split off from Adam (rib surgery). This says NOTHING about sexual orientation. Just as Jesus said NOTHING about it. Homophobic attacks go against the nature spirit and word of god as recorded in the bible.

A lot of iOS build automation tooling is dependent on Ruby. fastlane is the de-facto standard in this space, which is a Ruby gem and CLI application. As a result, every iOS developer almost inevitably has to learn at least some basic Ruby to cobble together a deployment pipeline for their app.

It's amazing how HN always has something bad to say.

This laptop is under my Christmas tree. It has a i7 11800h and the lowest option nvidia I could find (I would have gone for Intel + amd but I couldn't find it). That cpu is a beast, don't even try to compare to overheating arm M1s.

Battery life should go for about 6 to 9 hours with my calculations, sure it's not crazy 20 hours, but anything more than 6h is awesome for me.

Nvidia gpu sucks on Linux?
Yep, I 100% agree and I'm going to disable that immediately after I dual boot my preferred distro on it. I'll leave it on in tuxedo OS.

980 Pro ssd, there's a bunch of crap online comparing this to 970 Pro (which you also have the option to configure), from the numbers I saw 980 pro is fast and cheap, that's what I need.

It's thick, people are always complaining that laptops have incredibly bad thermal management, and here comes tuxedo (or clevo) making a thick laptop because of the strong components inside and everyone complains. It's amazing how childish people can be, I'm ok with it being thick as long as it doesn't burn my hands like Macs do and as long as it doesn't thermal throttle almost all the time like 90% of thin and light laptops do.

So yeah, if your are looking for a laptop, just ignore all these HN people that seem to not do anything but sit around all day complaining.

This is a really good laptop and I recommend it.
> Now, it might seem rude of me, but I am against killing people that want to live in order to maybe save people that want to die.

The point is that most times people who commit suicide don't want to die, they simply feel life is currently so awful, and they is so little hope of change, that there is no alternative.

Those thoughts are usually transitory and people on the other side express relief that steps were taken to stop them, buying time in which to heal.

Less virulent, less dangerous than delta by far, according to the South African medical authorities who first identified and reported it. It's been a long established medical fact that viruses evolve to become less severe over time, due to selective pressures of being able to spread easier if you don't incapacitate your host. Micheal Crichton's Andromeda Strain featured this as a key plot point, written in the 70s.

For some reason, the international community treated South African scientists like third-world know-nothings, and overreacted, ignoring the fact that it's less severe.

I can't imagine this change making Reddit any better. Things have been going downhill ever since Swartz's unfortunate demise.

The claim is that they do reduce overall suicide rates. They are not offseted by more suicides at other places or later on.

Generally, as far as I can tell from reading about suicides and mental health, this is largely settled research. I dont understand why there is so much opposition to it on HN as if it was something new or controversial.
This will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.
I wouldn't call this a major outage. We had almost no issues with our applications ( it's resolved by now) and customers are in US, Canada and EU.

The update that caused an issue, was at a pretty good time ( 20:42 EST ). So that probably explains it.

Humans are useful to one another past childbearing age because we're social animals: caring for grandchildren helps them survive. Octopods, otoh, are notoriously solitary animals. Once they're done reproducing, surviving adults would mainly be in competition with the young.
I switched to almost pure swift for a new app after having worked with obj-c a couple of years ago. TBH, when I first encountered swift I hated it, mostly because I felt it was always nagging me about optionals coming from rather fast and loose obj-c code.

I eventually embraced it and the new App greatly benefitted, hardly any bugs out in the wild compared to our other apps, we mostly just get crashes from Apple code.

Code is reeadable and easy to understand (although there is still some terrible code in the app from when I was still getting my head around it, but it works fine).

It has some frameworks and protocols I've started to use extensively, the codable protocol is especially useful for web interface, combine is coming on in leaps and bounds.

I still don't trust SwiftUI, even Apple's demo projects don't always implement things correctly and don't display properly if you use the wrong device in the wrong orientation. So I still use IB (New swift developers don't like it, it is a pain and hard to use for apps that run on all devices in multiple orientations, but for what it is, I've used worse in my career)

Reading this thread gives me energy to keep working on these posts. It's a massive PITA reading through enterprise Java code to be able to accurately explain this Log4j exploit stuff. It makes me happy that y'all are able to have a conversation on the internet because of it and share your ideas about how to exploit it all for RCE!

I feel like with security stuff, awareness is 95% if the battle. So if people get excited and start thinking about how they'd implement a prototype themselves... that's pretty great. It gives me hope that perhaps this world of dependency hell that we're in right now might eventually go away.

I'm definitely a bit of an idealistic person as a dev. Maybe an optimist is the better word? I just want to try to fix these problems and hope that my contributions help. Sometimes it's brutal and exhaust and... this week has been an epic grind.

But that's what it takes to make a difference sometimes, and I'm glad y'all are appreciating the effort. Thanks for the kind words.

Fair enough statement!

Essentially, whenever I look into communities of things that I'm interested in, I'll see a dedicated core of people insisting that it must be experienced a specific way, and any other way is wrong. Basically wine snobs, but for everything.

However, if I'm an outsider looking to get information for a gift or something I have a passing interest in, this can be quite often useful. If the snobs acknowledge something as legit, then I know that it's likely to be good.

Edit: Karrot_Kream put it perfectly with their use of the phrase "gatekeeping". Special interest groups have this problem, and Reddit fails to solve it.
No it hasn't. Web3 hasn't gotten smaller. In the last year its gotten even worse. Its now nearly 3x as big as it was 4 years ago, when I first complained about it being slow and bloated.

I re-ran some tests to check after reading your comment, and compared to last year web3 has regressed in every measure I took:

- node_modules size: 59mb (was 53mb last year)

- Non-minified bundle size: 3.2mb (was 2.4mb last year)

- Minified bundle size: 1.85mb (was 1.15mb last year)

- Number of copies of bn.js included in the bundle: 8 (was 6)

The minified+gzipped size has increased by 88% in the last 12 months alone.

it is a bit baffling that 99% of the articles talking about greece go on and on about a period that after all lasted 300-400 years and until the macedonians it was sort of politically irrelevant. this compared to the thousand years of hellenised eastern roman empire where not the same philosophical works have been written, but "byzantine domination", really?

those were greeks and the main inspiration for both the great idea (it was about restoring byzantine prestige, certainly not "athenian"), and the state structure afterwards, with kings called constantine and the church as a relevant part of the state.

"modern greeks don't seem to have much to do with the old ones". that's right. I wonder what happened in those 2000 years we keep wanting to ignore.

You really should disable it because Google cannot be allowed to be the gatekeeper of the internet. The list contains tons of non-malicious URLs [0] and Google has absolutely no incentive to remove them. And even if you haunt them enough to do so the same broken process that added it in the first place will just add it again. Any browser that enables this list by default is actively making the web a worse place an engaging in mass-defamation.

Anime translators do receive distinction and a place in history. Why translate something few will read when you can translate something many will read and enjoy together. Most great literary work cannot be properly translated because of unique cultural traits that do not exist elsewhere. Even translating anime is not 1:1, you can see the number of things that had to be changed in the FL:CL dub to tell the story similarly.

Sorry - I meant "as cited", i.e. there were exactly 313 items still requiring attention (presumably number of links that were created between the last backup and the incident.) This is a very low number, bordering on something you could fix by hand or at least a small script.

Evolution only evolves to evolve faster where that is itself an evolutionary advantage; likewise slower only when it’s an advantage. (Where there is no advantage either way you can get drift; also fitness is at a much higher level than a particular gene).

This is why we don’t have the 30-minute reproductive period of some bacteria.
How would you keep the virus from mutating into a deadly form? I don't think our medical expertise would allow that and it would be a pretty stupid idea. Covid is not a threat to overall health of humanity. Lab-grown super spreading viruses might become exactly that though.

I think any ethical debate would also be concluded very quickly.
So code written in a language that encourages building a gazillion indirections instead of just doing things procedurally is hard to fix?

This concept is not long for this world. I've been a daily user for for than a decade.

* [Your default sort and filter list no longer only contains content you are subscribed to.](https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/m1pb9u/comment/gqgh82...)

* They continually "improve" the default (and Hot, New, Top, and Rising) sort and filter algorithm(s). Every day it contains less relevant content for you, and more content peppered with ads and outrage. All of these options are slowly morphing into the same sort and filter set.

* They are aggressively shutting down interesting communities which don't fit their advertiser profile, and using the above algorithms to ensure no one ever sees them. These include, for example, discussion of covid or vaccines from a critical perspective; assisted suicide; Donald Trump; guns; trans controversies; etc.

* They are aggressively policing language. There is a growing list of words which, if used, will earn the user a ban.

* They stopped work on old.reddit.com, which gave users more transparent control over sort and filter. I predict they will kill it soon.

* They currently allow API access for third party aps. These aps don't serve ads and can employ their own sorting and filtering. I predict open APIs will be shut down, just like all the other major platforms have done.

Long story short, Reddit is going to turn into Facebook. They've made that intention clear. It's only a matter of time before they demand Facebook-like verification for users.
Inflation, or decline in purchasing power of the currency, is bad for savers and those who rely on fixed incomes.
