I think your take is a bit generous for that website.

Take this blurb for example:

> HP Designjet Z9+ PS Large Format Color Inkjet Printer
As one of the most expensive printers on the market, this HP DesignJet Z9+PS provides exceptional color control with a secure wireless connection and fast printing. Without a doubt this is a large format laser printer of the highest quality which can produce prints up to 44 inches wide.

It's literally written in a way that is completely lying and designed to mislead and keyword stuff. It's not even trying to hide the fact that it's lying to a human reader since it contradicts itself immediately by calling it an Inkjet printer (which it is). It makes more sense when you realize it's not trying to trick the human reader at all! It's trying to trick Google bot!

The title of the article implies it is about laser printers or at the least laser-like printers, but the list contains inkjet printers, making it somewhat useless even if some of the results are in fact laser-like printers because it forces the person to continue to sift through the spam for what they need.

The whole article is garbage information and just because it accidentally actually included one or two laser printers does not mean it is a relevant result! Why are you nit-picking on Adam Savage being wrong about how there is indeed a laser printer when the literal whole article is mostly lies.
Honestly, people sometimes can't appreciate a bit of humour. I just didn't want to go "the rude critic" route.

I don't like it when a popular language goes balistic with features. It makes people go on personal crusades to create their own "simpler, easier" languages just to prove a point. See Hare for the latest example.

For a huge pile of things that aren't consumer goods, google is pretty good at figuring out what you're looking for even if you use imprecise terms, especially if the particular imprecision is common among non-specialists. That's sort of the selling point of google search and why the primary interface to just about all general-purpose web search engines isn't what used to be called 'keyword search'. It's definitely a search engine quality problem
> When it's cold you can add layers

Not being able to heat a room above 16°C is a better problem to have than not being able to cool below 30°C but cold takes it's tool too. At night you can use a thick comforter or a couple and the problem is solved, but working behind a desk in a cold room is trying. Many layers of closing helps but it is not an ultimate answer - while being in a cold room in warm clothing I become tired more quickly than in a room at 20°C—25°C.

There is very strong economic incentive to reuse car batteries.

I don’t think you’re leveraging Reddit correctly. I use Google, search for something like “Kokatat icon drysuit site:Reddit.com” and am going to find far more useful human, real-world info than if I just use google to search the naked Internet, where the results would be half a page of ads and half a page of marketing, SEO-optimized sales or affiliate sites.

So I don’t think the paradigm people are referring to is going to Reddit and browsing about (Reddit’s own search engine is pretty crap, too), it’s targeted searches using Google but constraining results to a particular resource, in this case Reddit, but it works with any sufficiently good community, whether hacker news or f150forums.com, for example. It’s about going where the real users are.

Obviously ymmv depending on what you’re searching for. Insanely broad topical searches like “inflation” probably will yield crap results and dick pics from Reddit.
> The vulnerable world hypothesis thus offers a new perspective from which to evaluate the risk-benefit balance of developments towards ubiquitous surveillance or a unipolar world order.

To be human is to desire freedom and be free.

This kind of thinking and governance essentially kills the humanity in us all, I'm genuinely surprised that anyone can even for a second consider this to be productive or desirable (except maybe those that feel they will be part of the suppressing class, which they likely won't).

edit: there is no benefit worthy of risking our freedom to tyrannical governance
Yes. There are are "presses" that are effectively industrial laser printers. Commonly used for print on demand and other lower production volume jobs.
As OP hasn't replied yet, I'll take the liberty. The biggest issue is interference (jamming) by malicious actors. This is especially common in the eastern Mediterranean [1]. Earlier this year there have also been reports of interference on Finland's border with Russia [2].

Of course one could imagine other scenarios where GPS might become inaccurate or unavailable on a larger scale, such as an attack on the satellites themselves.

The site actually has several articles about why this specific criticism is silly.

To summarize: we already have gas plants, and gas storage, leaving them turned off except as a fallback insurance is the sensible option. Even when building new plants, gas plants are the cheapest to build and simplest to run which matters a lot if they're mostly idle, which is why they get used as peakers.

https://austinvernon.site/blog/gasredemption.html

I don't agree with everything they write (they seem to think "virtue signaling“ is a real thing and that renewables had nothing to do with sensible government regulation but rather the free market which reveals a bias that runs through their conclusions) but the facts are fairly incontrovertible if you actually look at them so they come to the reasonable conclusions anyway.
"sometimes" was meant to be "something". i blame a slip on the word suggestions from my keyboard
I found the site tad bit suspicious when they proclaim they are the "small indie company" doing the good fight multi national companies won't (got nothing against left wing causes but I do think far left is a problem) .

According to mediabias:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/novara-media-bias/

The site is far left with mixed factual/credibility.
I mean... nato bombed whole (what was then left of) yugoslavia, including civilian targets and destroyed civil infrastructure, to make the country give up the southern part (kosovo)... they even bombed a tobacco factory in Niš and the national TV station in Belgrade which have nothing to do with kosovo, and threw cluster bombs on residential areas "just because". So yeah... putin is basically doing the same to destroy the military infrastructure, and is now taking over the russian minority regions.

The only real difference is propaganda.... US was "bombing for peace" ( https://content.time.com/time/magazine/archive/covers/1995/1... ), and the current RUS-UA propaganda is basically a giant shitshow, where by reading the media, russia is losing every day, and the fighters from azovstal are being "evacuated" (...by russia... as prisoners of war... but the word used was "evacuated").
Not to mention that one of the premises of the article was that vitamin d levels were a marker, not some singular responsible agent.
Reddit is a cesspool compared to what? Certainly not here. Sure, r/gaming is garbage, but overall my experience with Reddit is fairly positive. Especially if you’re looking for things like product advice, but it’s also the main source for eg. trans surgery and fashion advice. Things that are literally scary to discuss here.

But also community? People really over use that word. There is no Reddit (or HN) community. Some subreddits to communities, but most are just strangers passing each other in the fog. And that’s fine. I’m trying to buy a touring bike and plan by gender affirming surgeries, not find friends.
Hey there, thank you so much for supporting the platform and also providing valuable feedback. I definitely agree on the group study sessions, as a matter of fact there's a major feature that's been in the works for months heading in that direction. Hopefully it will be ready soon after summer.
The coffee idea seems pretty fun as well!

As for the price, I do agree on the jump between free and paid, but I also think that there's nothing actually similar to lofi.co around. The timer for one, even though it looks like a simple pomodoro timer, it's actually a lot more advanced than that and the only platform I know offering something slightly similar has only that as a product and charges double our monthly fee. Again it's hard to think of lowering the price when the competition is charging netflix-level monthly fees or other similar companies still higher fees for a fraction of the features.

May I ask what you mean with 'enough value to be ad supported'? I don't really like to share revenue online, but I can say the platform is profitable and has been growing steadily since launch.
A. Lange and Sohne mechanical movements: what makes them so irresistible?
HN, are you feeling okay?

Many top posts in the past weeks were all about using SQLite for usecases it wasnt originally designed to do, using it as a distributed database, even.

Now, here's a post which misses the EXACT usecase sqlite was built for, and its barely even mentioned.

SQLite is quite literally the best solution here. Its a file, you open it, and boom you got a database. You can explore it with sqlite3 cli or datagrip or anything you want.

This is like saying "lets use png for animated images" and then searching for "a format to handle uncompressed images with transparency" and not mentioning png.
Ask HN: What comes after Scrum?
Currently I hear more and more people talking about Scrum being the "old way" of developing software, but imho Scrum is still extremely entrenched (at least here in Europe).

At my current place (product company) we do things like: have a one hour meeting to discuss what we're going to discuss in a later one hour backlog meeting, the output of which which will decide what we "analyze" in 4 separate 1 hour full-team estimation meetings, which will dictate what we "commit" to during the full-day full-team demo/retro/commitment scrum day. We do this every 2 weeks.

No wonder Product Management seem unsatisfied with the progress we're making, but they seem powerless to stop this madness.

What project management approach have you seen gaining in popularity to replace Scrum? What comes next? Any ideas?
The rant is really about how bad Google went or how good SEO experts are today. Google search results are basically unusable for some subjects and Google should fix it, if it doesn't want to end up like Altavista!
I actually learned a lot from this article.

The female employment was not nearly at zero back then - in 1970 male employment rates were 80% and female 43%. There was huge amount of women working, just not at well paid jobs. (In 1950 it was 86% to 34%).

Moreover, house work now requires significantly less time and effort then back then. The tech did improved it a lot. Just about the only exception is childcare, in 1970 you could have your 6 years old walk to school alone and play unsupervised whole day. No one would expect you to drive him/her to fifteen activities per week or regularly spend hours on homework projects with the kid.
Nah the main reason Linux outcompeted the BSD is that it arrived at exactly the worst moment for the BSDs: USL v. BSDi.

This case put a severe pall on the attractiveness of BSDs as they were suddenly in legal jeopardy just at the outset of the UNIX wars and as they were coming into their own.

And at the same moment, a cleanroom unix arrived on the market, limited in many ways but safe.

The GPL was at best neutral for most users, as can be seen from its adoption (or lack thereof). However the GPL was nowhere near as problematic as “AT&T might get our OS declared illegal”.
We do, and a lot more extensively than people realise. It is called energy recovery. Look for 'Enery Recovery Facility' or something similar. Also known as Waste-to-energy in the US. They are 'good' in a sense that they divert from landfill and try and capture the carbon that they burn. Most people aren't aware of it because the sector doesn't publicise 'burning rubbish' as it sounds worse than 'burning oil'.
no, SQLite was built to be a flat file db. Its quite exactly the best solution if you need a db but want to have it contained in a folder with your other files.
Not only has it moved to rental, but lots of the offerings have absolutely punishing license terms. For example, if you stop paying maintenance fees, when you upgrade you have to back pay all missed fees or purchase the software again for $10k to $40k.

And at some point you have to upgrade because the file formats change every year.

I always recommend Solidedge these days because it’s the only remaining capable option that has a simple monthly/yearly license.

The festival of Holi is usually the transition point between winter and summer. NEVER in my living memory has it been hot before Holi. Even my 78 year old father says the same thing.

This year, it was legit hot before Holi. And it was also extremely dry heat - humidity levels were in the 20s and 30s!

Exactly. I've read the article but I don't find the argument very convincing. The helmet is light enough I don't think about it when driving. Does it really alter my driving style to be riskier?

I've cracked two helmets when I was younger. One in a forest, going downhill. Most probably, I wouldn't go there without a helmet. The other one was in a city, while distracted*. In the second case, the helmet definitely didn't have any influence on what I did. In both cases, I wore the helmet voluntarily and I was glad to have it.

The company from the article is definitely in a conflict of interests. Banning helmets, it doesn't have to provide (and check) protective gear for drivers and passengers. Also, it doesn't focus customers' attention towards potential risks.

* Putting a phone back into my bag, I accidentally hit a brake. Silly, don't ask me how I did that. Fortunately, no car was around.

Sure, but have you seen just how bad manufacturers of anything expensive and technical are at actual presenting their product catalogs in a clear and informative manner that lends itself to comparing with the competition?
Just to clarify, Im saying labor is a large part of the cost, not necessarily the largest. I agree land is probably a bigger cost in a lot of areas.
A3 lasers certainly exist. But A3 is not wide format.

I've never heard of a true wide format laser (A2 and larger), and I suspect the technology doesn't exist to make an affordable one. You'd need super-precise optics, an absolutely huge toner/fuser system, and a supply chain for all of the above.

And there would be limited sales. Wide format printers are used for high quality art/photo printing, signage and ads, and sometimes for fabric printing.

Lasers are optimised for office document printing. You don't often need an A2 or larger office document. And when you do - cartography and blueprints - you're probably going to use a plotter.
That are many assumptions, in a thread of someone asking for help.

Yes, a good well maintained archive can be a useful tool, of you are actually using it. But OP was asking for help, and not explaining much about the purpose and usage of their collected data. So I assume the most common case here, and say OP is simply a hoarder.

Collecting is a disease, and a very common around here. People take anything that seems mildly interesting with the mindset that it might have some worth at some later point, to never see it again and let it rot in an unmaintainable mountain of datawaste. OP seems to be in that situation, so the first important step is to reflect on the data, their purpose, their benefit and their harm for you. Then you can start with the organizing and maintaining.

I'd take the official claims and benchmarks with a huge dose of skepticism. Python is no longer a free software project. The infrastructure is censored and dissent is suppressed ruthlessly.

The entire ecosystem is great at marketing. Critical people like Armin Ronacher have left long ago.

I'd like to see truly independent benchmarks from unbiased or critical outsiders. But in general those do not have any interest in Python.
And, importantly, an upgrade/plugin system. Plug-ins are just notes because the “engine” is built as JS notes.

in android, the GPS config file (some xml) file will do the trick of making the at least the GPS/Location system on the phone unreliable. Apparently each country has their own config file. Found this out when a friend used the Android bought in China in US. So no GPS is NOT reliable for critical situations, it is more a consumer connivence ATM.

I use a similar one-phrase-per-line approach in my writing,
which is possible because of is single newlines are equivalent to space in .tex and .md files.

I usually go to the next line on each comma (indicating new phrase) or end of sentence.
Sometimes I split on `and` or a `because` etc. indicating the start of a new clause.

This approach helps A LOT to see when sentences get too long and unwieldy,
and it's great when moving large chunks of text,
since I can think in terms of whole lines and rarely have to cut/drag/select in the middle of a sentence.

It's great for diffing too.

Only problem is text tends to get very long, which is not a good fit for modern wide screen display.

While I agree with everything you said, it's a bit ironic that the comparison drawn is between an HOA putting restrictions on what you can do in service of collective benefit as something negative, to before such restrictions was put on restaurants in service of allowing people to get food without second hand smoke.

I understand people will have different preferences, but someone making tar or smoking fish on their lawn 24/7 affects all neighbors, while an HOA rule restricting that only affects that one person, and everyone else can enjoy their yards unsmoked.

I have lived all my life in Spain and that's not my experience. Maybe in some small rural towns you can (illegally) keep an unfinished work for years, as long as nobody notices.

However, that is absolutely not true for most Spanish cities.
I think most large format printers are open pedestal roll feed design that takes A0(2.8x3.9ft) or A1(1.95x2.76ft) rolls so material is like 3ft wide paper towel. I know because I borrowed one back in University to print out Apollo control panel for myself, which in hindsight probably wasn't allowed.

I know Adam Savage is an ex-ILM professional propmaker and legendary Mythbusters host, but if he by million to one chance would call me to procure an A0 laser printer to print on special plastic sheets, I'd ask him if he mean it.
