Color laser is usually too expensive and bulky for home use.

The Canon PIXMA six ink like seems to be pretty resistant to drying up and clogging. The inks just run out really fast and cost a lot, but that doesn't matter if you only print a few pages a year.
I'm interested to hear what real-world experiences have lead you to think this way.

From what I've seen, exceptions can always be made and people will often put up with it, depending on the circumstances. Look at the number of people in here who don't believe what the OP did should be a crime, and don't consider his actions immoral. You're telling me those people wouldn't accept a little rule-bending if they were on the team? I can't agree.
God bless the UK's Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, which doesn't permit this kind of "well it's in the contract" excuse. In 2000, the High Court confirmed that this Act applies to employment contracts.

There are also laws around termination of employment in general so I think that this would be easily rebutted in Court.

> There can be a lot of value in rebuilding the same things from the ground up.

Maybe there is value for managers (who got promotions) and programmers (who got promotions and learned something), but for Google there is no value at all - it losts its users.

I remember everyone using gmail chat.. that they "remade" (killed) like two times.

Everyone just moved on.

Also I dont understand why investors arent unhappy with that. Google can still earn hundreds of millions on chat. Those wont be billions, but it is still money. And "hudred million here, hundred million there" start to add up.
Probably an error in the WGPU rendering code. Rendering APIs have all sorts of implicit constraints and edge cases you need to be aware of (because of the complexity of using a specialized computation device that doesn't work like a CPU), and Rust's memory safety won't help you with most of it (since these are more of domain-specific logic errors rather than memory safety errors). Though Rust might help in designing a better API because it can use other features such as sum types, result types, and traits to model states and errors in a less error-prone way.

(At least the WGPU experience seems better than OpenGL, when you don't even get an assert or a stack trace, just an invisible error that you can only fetch by using glGetError() and is going to be hell of a shitty time trying to debug it and then sometimes you get to the conclusion that it might actually be a driver bug...)
People with Medium-Covid – Caught in a Gray-Area of Recovery with Little Support
Safety regulations offer the possibility of a more holistic take on wellbeing than an insurance company's accident indemnity can be expected to offer. So there is some correction going on:

It typically means the stock is tanking. If you know your $10 stock is going down, it looks better to merge it back into $1000 stock; this way, when it tanks, instead of $0.50 shares you get $50 shares - which look more presentable to new investors.

Very roughly speaking, Split -> Stock is so good the company wants to cash in; Buyback -> Stock is still good enough that the company wants it back; Reverse Split -> Stock is tanking and company doesn't want to scare people.
You would not only feel offended but extremely offended by a message on a website? That is such strange behaviour to me. You need to just accept it and move on.
Ah! Anecdote; a friend of mine had an issue in Dresden for which they needed his Dutch health records; the Dutch public clinic sent an ambulance with 2 drivers to Dresden to deliver them on a cd. And then left again. The German doctors were absolutely flabbergasted how backward NL was in that regard. They said why don’t they just email an encrypted version? Not allowed. Summer of 2020.
I have a similar problem, and when I finally allocate bandwidth for a project, I can't find relevant objects when I need them.

So I bought a commercial label printer, I made a web app with a database representing a tree of objects/containers with photos and search function, and I am in the process of completely inventoring my stuff (consumables, tools, books, etc).

It's very long to do the inventory, and you have to be very consistent in maintaining the current location of objects in the tree, but the power to find every physical objects as fast as a google search is incredible. When I'm finished I'll be able to start any project and fetch "that old arcane microchip module I bought once 5 years ago" instantly.

And I think not seeing the accumulated mess of dozens of stalled projects will help for my mental clarity.
In Tokyo Japan, with a very high COL, our family unit makes just shy of 100,000 USD. By our living standards we are lower middle-class. We don't own house, car, assets. We can't afford a pet yet (cat maybe, but I am allergic) and no major vacations except day trips.

Yet this site says I am in the top 1%. Makes me hard to believe such stats sadly.
Thanks for the advice! The only reason I haven't shared the journal pieces is that I have an interested co-author for them and their work is extremely complementary to what I've already done. I am waiting for them to return from field work that they had to delay repeatedly due to COVID. Once they're back, I intend to rapidly update the pieces. If a pre-print makes sense then, I will definitely do it. Either way, once they're finished (again...) I most definitely will share them.
IPOs are a game of "let the institutional investors exit and leave retail holding the bag"

I'm not investing in any IPOs unless it's at fire sale prices, and I know my line in the sand where I will take a loss rather than hope and pray.
> I guess every single person here releases every project completely out of the goodness of their own hearts without any analytics or ads or any aspirations to monetize it?

Barring work, where I don't really have a say, my own projects have at times included usage metrics, it's always been easy enough to switch them off, and the goal has purely been a "how is this used" rather than "give me data I can sell for a dollar to GloboAdTech(tm)".

Nothing gets to stay as just itself. It has to bend and change to work within capitalism, to generate wealth for whoever owns it..

I'm happy for Wardle, it was a nice payday for him, and shifts the ire for any percieved "issues" away from an individual. But I can also mourn the loss of a "pure" thing to the maws of profit-driven ventures.

Maybe it isn't bad yet, but you'll forgive us, for having seen this stageplay numerous times before, and instinctively humming the next song where things get bad.
This website asks for annual income, it says so below the income field.
I think that you might have to tackle this problem sooner rather than later. I don't know, I either see one of two things happening:

Either you don't become big, and everything stays "teaser-only" - which isn't much better than the dump that is modern nsfw reddit

Or you do become big, and monetization becomes not a "problem to tackle", but an absolute necessity to stay alive. I could be wrong though - I'm not going to pretend like I know what's best. I can only give my opinion.
Have you read the plaque on the statue ? Do you know the text? You can put up a statue to say someone did something meaningful or historical, not that they were a good or noble person.
Thanks for the response. Agreed that it's better the normal way but even a simple consultation requires submitting a phone number to a mediator service. Most of folks are reluctant to submit their phone numbers to a database (which might get hacked given the state of security policies, not to speak of other predatory practices of selling personal data to ad services). Like I said in my post, there is no regulation that protects health data from being sold to 3rd parties and even if there is one, it is not enforced. Unfortunately, data security is currently the responsibility of the patient instead of being the other way around and this adds a huge barrier for the technologically non-savvy.

Haha, thanks, I should read. My gut was it was off by a factor of about 10.
So far, that is how I do it.

My stuff isn't particularly popular, so it doesn't take much of my bandwidth (well, actually, one project is very popular, but that has been taken over by a fairly energetic and talented team).

Just because a few people live longer doesn't necessarily invalidate the statistics. Even if your genetics and living environment allow for a healthy lifestyle, there's still a chance that you're killed by an accident or crime in the next half century. So 89 years seems like a good estimate, even if your environment theoretically allows you to live longer.

Also, technically, your life expectancy will rise the longer you life :-)
How much of a factor is the (relatively) super low air pressure in an airplane at cruising altitude? Does this cause more or less severity wrt the amount of air trapped in the chest?
Lots of people on expense accounts who don’t think about it maybe.

At this point in time the price is per generated document - irrespectively of how complicated the operation is.

Because you can combine operations in one http call, you're incentivised to do that as opposed to perform separate calls which increase the possibility of errors and cost for all sides.

Happily taking feedback though - your comment around hard-cap is definitely sound, for example.

I mentioned it the other day in another thread about Tibet where the discussion of political prisoners came up... and it seems relevant here too.

Why does the CCP seem so restrained when it comes to dealing with those that they see as posing a threat. I'm not defending the CCP's actions or tactics, but surely it would be easier for them to cut to the chase and just "get rid" of those that they consider a serious threat or liability to their existence?

We've seen plenty of examples of similar situations where Russia, North Korea, etc... employs a quick and cut-throat approach to foreign nationals/individuals that they identify as a threat.

For the excerpt it's clear that they're willing to kill this individual... why create such risk and exposure for themselves with this drawn-out, ambiguous dubious plot?
In refusing to accept that any contribution you make to society is in fact a business, you will be doomed to build a bad business. You will talk about the emotional turmoil a feature request puts you through instead of being proud of your streamlined business processes and your ever increasing MRR.
I love TUIs. They are usually clearly structured and fast. They require creators and users to focus on workflow :)

While these are experience values and not strict rules:
Astonishingly older users are performing better with TUIs than GUIs, and the worst are usually websites and web-applications. By "better" I mean fast in usage and less prone to mistakes.

The only stuff which is worse than websites are probably voice-assistants, people just avoid them. And voice assistants could be better with local evaluation and open speech database, especially for persons with limited eye-sight.
While the idiocy of removing words is beyond me, I am curious about agora. What's wrong with that word?

It's normal for people to have failings like procrastination, being unproductive and not being able to finish something they started. GRRM's failings just happen to be very public because of his earlier success.

He's never finishing those books and I think that at this point many of the fans have moved on.
From the consumer point of view, the business model does not even enter the equation. What matters is media pollution: my display, my computing, my rules ! To hell with the publisher's expectations of a social contract binding viewership with acceptance of advertisement. That is of course incoherent with the taste for free resources, but that is not enough cognitive dissonance to stop anyone from setting up ad blockers.

You can create a PDF from scratch starting from HTML - see https://pspdfkit.com/api/documentation/developer-guides/pdf-.... Note that HTML generation has a few nice quality of life additions around headers/footers, logos and conversion of HTML forms to PDF forms, which are things that you don't normally get with the print to PDF workflow you would normally build from scratch.

Filling out forms is not supported, but I'll take a note. The engine can do it, but we haven't got it exposed via the API.
No need to ask other people about that.
Just have a weekend learning Emacs + Lisp and make your own opinion. This configuration (https://github.com/susam/emfy) is a great start. If you like it - use it, if you don't - throw it away.
Also, you don't have to fall into a trap of configuring Emacs, well known hackers uses the bare minimum of it and are highly productive.

I don't think std::array is from the Template Library but is instead simply a type provided by the C++ standard library itself. Accordingly it isn't a great fit for the STL's container concept and has to be special-cased.

Also, once again bad defaults in C++. The default array accessor should be bounds checked. If I'm quite sure I wish to risk unchecked access that is an explicit decision signified by using a different accessor. This is the same mistake as discussed below for integer overflow, if the programmer doesn't specify a non-default behaviour that doesn't mean they spent ages agonising over the fine details of whatever the default behaviour happens to be, it means they didn't realise it mattered. Accordingly obey the principle of least surprise and don't do crazy things by default.
We don't know yet either ;) All I can say is that the team is dedicated to developing a great user-centric alternative to the current state of the industry products. There will always be room for improvement. Let's see.

I have a Dell laser that I love... I'd have to look up the model (1365? 1370?). Not open source per se but bought because of compatibility with Linux and works like a charm. There's a setting for using third party cartridges, which are pretty widely available, even though the Dell ones aren't too bad of a deal given their capacity. I love the printer.

I went with it after looking on Linux forums for most Linux friendly laser printers.
I think you're putting your finger on why it is a selling point. You're avoiding them because they're out of country, and that makes sense. For Europeans, the default has been "US hosted data" for a long while, and having options that store data in our jurisdiction is thus a selling point.

Fewer jurisdictions is almost certainly going to be easier, and these options offer that for the European market.
That's cool!

I've been looking into pen plotters to make some art prints but can't justify the cost of it. A 3d printer though sounds great. Can already think of some projects to use one for.

> Are you serious? Above you just said that you have immense respect for open source authors. And now you say that somebody can't take it anymore and is burned out and THEN you STILL expect them to put MORE work in, despite being burned out, to pass things on? The source code is available, the license is clear, if there is anybody else who wants to maintain, they can just go and to it. Why do you keep demanding anything from the already-burned-out author that you respect immensely? Honestly, I find that deeply disrespectful.

I just want to add to this: Finding and training a new good maintainer is a lot of work. If you just pass the project along with its reputation to whoever comes up then you might be doing more harm and it might be better to not do anything and have the new maintainer earn their own trust with their fork. So yeah, having open source developers to pass on the project when they want to quit is not a fair expectation.

Are you planning to accept donations to keep this sustainable? This is actually really exciting, nobody has done anything like this in a long time, the last similar project seems to have gone down.

I'm using Jami's OpenDHT which provides a web gateway API to get and set things, maybe something like that could serve as a backend?

>It's also easy for the juniors to depend on the mentor-level folks taking care of the more complex things.

From my experience, this isn't just the juniors. It feels "easier" (read: efficient short term, problematic long term) for the party doing the "teaching" and management wanting things to be done quick. This also makes it harder to raise mentors, since would-be mentors aren't acquiring the experience to become mentors.

This becomes even worse in places where bad practices and inefficient long term solutions reign. Best case, it keeps people from learning proper practices on their own thanks to all the friction. Worst case, it creates a cargo cult where bad practices are continuously hammered down and any attempt at breaking the cycle is met with even worse friction.
Ok, in the case of a series of novels the promise to eventually finish the story is not explicit, as in someone promising to help you move, but other than that, I agree with the point you are making.

For Stephen King, it took 22 years and a wake up call in the form of an accident that nearly killed him to get him to finish his "magnum opus", the Dark Tower cycle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Tower_(series)). So I haven't completely given up hope about ASOIAF yet, but I'm not holding my breath either...
We're based on PDFium, but there's a lot more going on than just that - see https://pspdfkit.com/blog/2019/contributing-to-pdfium/ for an overview.
Good point. Dunno. Antarctic and Arctic are very different in terms of Geology. First is a continent with mountains. This means that has a thick crust. North Pole is submerged with some Islands around. Crust here is more thin and should be more prone to move when you remove weight or apply forces in any other direction.

I would love it if I could just use an API for this.

The UI is actually native, it's just that the native Rust UI tookit it's using (druid) is still work-in-progress and doesn't have some things we expect from a full UI framework (most notably, good text rendering).
RPCs aren't just slower for IPC, they are also missing very useful features. Like it's not possible to send an open file descriptor across RPC, but it's very possible (and very useful) to do the same over IPC. It's how something like an "open file dialog" can work without needing the app process to have full access to all the user's files.
