There is no way to "target wayland" for a tool like this. For security reasons pretty much everything this tool does is blocked on wayland. You could perhaps make a version for sway and other wlroots-using desktops that works mostly like the current tool. For GNOME you might be able to get away with rewriting it in JS as a shell extension, no idea for KDE.
I wish I had had that opportunity back in 1985 when I founded my first one, but being outside of the Bay Area (as in 1500 miles away) there were basically no software startups at all, and with no internet/web/ycombinator etc, no way to learn anything except by trying and failing. We did ship our product, do marketing, make some sales but not enough so we had to sell the product and close down. Today I know all things I did wrong but back then you were working in a world unlike today, and not even one person to ask as everyone starting software companies back then was just as clueless unless you were in a few places in the country. It's hard to explain to people today just how hard this was (for example I tried to borrow some money at a local bank to buy computers, and when told we were a software company, the loan officer assumed we were making ladies undergarments).

You should probably clarify if you're asking about inkjet printers.

I bought a laser printer almost 2 years ago. No complaints so far, but we'll see how long that lasts.

No, I didn't read it and I don't really see your point. I didn't say Chrome has no vulnerabilities.
Perhaps a little pedantic but as a thought experiment, if ABC corp was awesome at drones and wanted to solely manufacture in China, but in order to do so was forced to form ABC_China_LLC and transfer al the IP and know-how, how would you feel about it then?

It's like a reverse "what if China invades Taiwan and takes TSMC".
I mean, the union members agreed to a collective agreement. That's a legally binding contract with their employer..

If you entered a contract with someone and they violated it, would you go after damages? Would you be upset if the court found them in contempt if they ignored the court order?

I'm all for unions entering collective agreements. But you agree, then you agree. You don't get to agree, then back out later on because you changed your mind. Well, you can, but you'll face consequences.

What the union wants is "to eat their cake and have it too".

If their employer decided to ignore some part of their collective agreement, then ignore a court order, would you side with the employer? Of course not, they violated the agreement.

My employer did some work early in Dotcom for a company that owned the domain name "manufacturersexchange", when I pointed out that was a terrible name for a business they said "no business person would notice that". Business never got off the ground.
This is actually quite reasonable and the same in Germany as well. While a collective bargaining agreement is in effect and has not been cancelled (there are minimum times and notice periods), a strike would be illegal.

The idea is to give both sides some assurance that what has been agreed is stable and not up to the whim of either the employer or the union.

For the previous model the replacement was free whether or not you were under warranty. Because the battery was defective. They know this but tried to save money on the subsequent model. Which is fine. But I was a lifetime customer and will never buy Dell again. Which is also fine.

"Checks and balances" mean nothing unless you specify who's checking who. System where the military keeps a check on the president, or the king keeps a check on parliament, aren't really much better than the "checker" being in charge all the time. And systems based on mutual checking tend to just reel from one constitutional crisis to another.
Home printers are like coffee pod machines:

The money is made on the ink/coffee, and machines are pushed at a discount to dominate the ink/coffee distribution.

The market is big and uncritical. Investing in high-quality machines is a long game that many can't justify and so avoid.

I think LtU is fairly low-traffic normally, so even though the content is (probably) relatively static other than the comments it might not make sense for them to design it for extreme volumes of traffic. And given that this link was probably submitted to HN, a few subreddits and possibly more sites it's easy to imagine they suddenly got that kind of volume.
This goes for any other business as well.

Erm Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais kind of destroy that quote.
No doubt my desire to start my own thing has increased 10x since joining a startup (back in November)

Why? I think it's a mix of:

- Getting comfortable building from scratch (we're early stage so almost everything we are doing right now is from the start)

- Getting comfortable with new technologies that previously felt inaccessible to me (ML, AI)

- Founders are very transparent with the operational and legal details of our startup, so I learn a bit here and there about the non-technical hard things

- The chase for the first dollars. This is really energizing (and hard) part of where I am at right now. It can be prone to burnout, but I do now want to try and go for my first $100/month
It would be better for the consumer printer segment to die off, and for the consumer to see the price of a proper printer that works correctly, and decide whether to buy that or use a print service.
I have a Brother laser printer/scanner combo that I bought 8 years ago, I actually wish it broke down so I could replace it with something that supports AirPrint without feeling bad about throwing out perfectly good hardware
It's more interesting that people's wifi routers are spying on them.
From what I understand, in the inkjet market the inkjet printer firms own the inkjet patents, which means it's not possible to disrupt the market.
IMO, a position of "LOL, it works just fine on Wayland, just write it from scratch in six different programming languages to cover 80-90% of DEs/WMs out there" is not very developer (or for that matter, user) friendly. At least X11 is a single interface to target.
Avoid ink jet and use laser jet instead.

This solved most of the frustration for me. The upfront cost is slightly higher, the print quality is slightly decreased but the long term satisfaction is greatly enhanced.

Ink jet in any form is dead in my mind.
An astronomer thinks alien tech could be on the ocean floor. Not everyone agrees
I think it's a natural part of industry decline. They've gradually migrated from an industry based on innovation and customer acquisition to one based on milking every last penny from their installed base. 20 years ago printers were critical business machines and very popular home electronics. The current generation is comfortable reading off their screens.
Ask HN: Hardware product design, where do I start?
I want to design/build/manufacture a very stripped down version of Dakboard [1]. Using Photo Frame like the ones available in Amazon for a display[2]. It needs to pull calendar data or images from an API and render it so that customers always sees a latest monthly calendar.

I once thought of contacting one of those manufacturer of the Photo Frames and ask them if they can do the necessary tweaks. But I'm not sure what details to give them.

What is the prep work necessary for this? I've absolutely no idea where to start but it's one of the project ideas that I come back to again and again and want to get it done no matter what.

Where do I even start at this? Any pointers would help tremendously.

Thanks HN.

> The upfront cost is slightly higher, the print quality is slightly decreased but the long term satisfaction is greatly enhanced.

OK but they still stop updating the drivers after 3 years, which is the main problem. Otherwise they would last forever.
Why does everything have to be something someone would pay for, to keep it from devolving into some of the most disgusting behavior? Why is money always the primary driving factor? Society will remain stuck until we realize that money should not be the driving factor for everything.
Calm down. No one shat in any pool. Glad you agree this change is progress towards equity. Worrisome that you got so triggered over the wording that the world is now a little more equitable.
This! inkjets printers are a horrible industry, but office printers need to be stable and work. I got a brother black and white laser printer designed for an office on 'Prime Day" years ago and it's never failed me.
> considering that 2D printing at home is rivalled by many online services who print on far superior printers and deliver at home?

Dunno, unless you're looking for larger formats most print shops will not have printers superior to decent home units like Epson SC-P900
That chiropractors have good lobbyists that managed to carve out a lucrative regulatory niche doesn't really disprove my theory.
Worse mandatory, and probably unpaid, overtime

In a union shop? There's a good chance there's a legal minimum multiplier for any overtime pay, and a union contract might have that higher.
It is mostly the weight and physical space the tube requires. They use a lot of desk space and require a decent quality desk to hold them. They also use somewhat more power than LCDs but I suspect LCDs more modern look and space saving qualities drove their adoption much more than the power usage. The way their refresh rate works also seems to cause a lot less eyestrain on LCDs, particular when comparing a low quality CRT to a low quality LCD.
I don't think a lot of them sucked at all compared to modern games. Forced constraints lead to wonderful creativity and strong - even if simple - game design.

Sure the games might not have had as much breadth or depth at times, but I feel today's games are far more generic in general, you have to go searching for interesting concepts, rather than just browsing what is 'on the shelf' at the shops.
AHK is fairly well established in its niche, so not a new language by any stretch. That's even before you get to the complexity of Python or Bash vs a dedicated DSL.

The fact is we should have intervened in Armenia and Georgia. We should have intervened in Syria, at least to some extent. We should have imposed crushing sanctions on Russia after the annexation of Crimea in 2014. The fact that we did not is a causal direct line to this invasion.

Since the gulf war the west has become averse to foreign adventurism. I understand that and why, but it's misconceived. Washing our hands of the rest of the world and letting countries like Iran and Russia (and Iraq under Saddam Hussein) do whatever they like doesn't work. It comes back to bite us every single time.

Even if we say it's not our problem, it's not our responsibility, it always comes back and hurts us and our direct economic, political and humanitarian interests again and again. It leads to things like the rape of Kuwait and 9/11.

Being fully engaged internationally is expensive in money and lives, it's messy, it's morally compromising. It's also unavoidable. We are part of the world and can't deny responsibility for playing our part in it. Or rather we can, but at a heavy price to ourselves and others.

tl;dr

Crypto.com, which is a Singapore-based exchange, mistakenly sent $10.5 million when Thevamanogari Manivel asked for a $100 refund back in May 2021.

But instead of notifying Crypto.com of the mistake, Manivel and her sister Thilagavathy Gangadory allegedly went shopping—with Manivel buying a $1.35 million five-bedroom home as a gift.

The company has since taken legal action and Victoria’s Supreme Court has ordered the home to be sold and the money returned, according to the report.
Live music didn't disappear but the industry took a huge permanent culling when any cheap venue could just play a track. The replacement doesn't have to be great to trash an industry. It just has to be good enough for most. This is.
I'm interested in that as well. On the other hand, all of that can only account for constant factors (in the limit, I can use some extra states to encode a lambda calculus interpreter in my Turing machine). Even for Turing machines, two symbols tapes might not be the most efficient in terms of BB steps per encoded machine bit.

Having said all that, your encoding is a bit wasteful, so let's optimize. ;)

First, there's really no need for the encoded states to end on bit boundaries. To give an example, to encode 9 numbers between 0 and 9 (inclusive), you don't need 9*ceil(log2(10))=36 bits, you only need ceil(9*log2(10))=30 bits by treating the digits as a large decimal number and converting that to binary.

Second, if you're going to halt anyway, there's no need (at least for the BB problem) to write a symbol and move the tape on the last transition, so we can simply treat that as an alternative to encoding a transition.

Armed with both of those, the size of an encoded machine goes down to ceil(2 * 6 * log2(2 * 2 * 6 + 1)) = 56 bits. (In general for n states and k symbols, ceil(k * n * log2(2 * k * n + 1)). The 2 is for the directions, the + 1 is the halting transition.)
> the print quality is slightly decreased

That's heavily understating it.

On HN, there is the effect of clusterisation. People tend to comment and communicate with others on topics in which they have interest or significant knowledge. One set of topics would interest startup founders, another set would interest lonesome tinkerers, a third set would interest artsy types.

My laser printer is now over 10 years old. I bought toner 2/3 times I think. The only thing I needed to replace was one internal battery for a couple of dollars recently that was used to keep the time of the internal fax machine I never used, kept bugging me for the date.

That's not a mistake lol.
The union is saying "don't volunteer" so the courts are saying "ok, that's a strike since you aren't following the collective agreement".

It's not clear from this that the union is saying any such thing. Someone is saying not to volunteer but it's not clear who or why.
Read Blindsight by Peter Watts. It's a horror story where the monster revealed is a thesis about future human evolution, and it's actually scary.
> How can it even be legal to give up the right to strike in a collective agreement?

"This union agrees with <employer X> that, while negotiations are ongoing, the union will not sanction industrial action by its members". It seems pretty reasonable to me that nobody should have to negotiate with a gun to their head.

I don't think there should be a right to strike while your union is negotiating. If you think your union negotiators are crap, you can join a different union, and urge your fellow workers to join you. The collective agreement is between the employer and the old union; it wouldn't bind members of the new union.

Wildcat industrial action, without the backing of a union, is dangerous.
