Buy one of their cheap sub-$100 laser printer if you don't need colors. I have been printing daily for more then a year on the same toner cartridge, and replacements are cheap.
I print when I prep for a meeting so I end up doing it quite a bit.
There's a lot of articles recently on how we're "rethinking" Alzheimer's, and what is utterly baffling to me is the way none of them seem to mention that it has recently come to light that much of the foundational research on Alzheimer's was falsified: https://www.science.org/content/article/potential-fabricatio...
No, that doesn't follow. You can definitely remove large amounts of cash, you just have to think ahead a little. Also, you have overlooked the fact that for many people a cashier's check is more convenient than a large wad of cash, especially if their sole object is to deposit it at a competing institution.
That's as useful as saying DNG can be powered by lossless JPEG. No standard lossless JPEG decoder can do anything useful with DNG files.

I have a HL-4150CDN and that's true it asks for a replacement after a fixed page count but it is easy to workaround this by resetting the page count (https://www.inkowl.com/page/tnreset/). I am still using it after more than 10 years with the half-capacity toners it was shipped with.
The LIRR equivalent, East Side Access, is 13 years late and $7.6 billion over budget (and counting.)

I spent $100 on a Brother B&W laser in 2010. It's paid for itself many times over, and it's still doing great!
I don't think I have ever paid for anything over a few hundred in cash. Criminalising the use of cash seems a bit authoritarian, but I don't think there is any legitimate reason to pay for anything in cash with that amount that couldn't be done by a BACS transfer.

In the UK you have to register with HMRC under money laundering supervision regulations if you are a business or trader that takes in cash payments over 10,000 euro.
I've seen people volunteer to pick up trash in their neighborhood public park. Do you think that's like a cult?

Or how about people who contribute to open source software that they use? Like a cult?

Volunteering to moderate a forum you participate in and enjoy is not really very different from those.
> if I can't use Zelle/Venmo/etc, it's an issue.

But by doing that you're imposing the risk to the seller that they may lose their money when paypal/zelle/venmo/etc freeze their account and steal their money (see frequent recurring threads right here on HN of this happening over and over).

I realize as a payer it's not your problem but something to think about.

I don't know if in 2022 it's still a thing, sure wikipedia has a crowd that might still run around removing content, but there's less to remove I feel because the mere public is not as heavily involved at wikipedia any more. Presently a new TV series on a well known network can come and go, and yet every week I check back, nothing. Once, back to the time of 2010 when this article dates, the mere public infrequent visitor still might have taken ten or twenty minutes to fire off a new topic if one didn't already exist. Judging by the people I know online presently, few spend any time "volunteering" at wikipedia to contribute, even an edit ... in fact, for the last few years in the various forums I frequent, none have admitted to putting in time there - I know because it's something common I would raise in a new thread, since I actually did spent "some time" early on at wikipedia in its early days. Yes I spent spare time including interesting scraps of information that would not be gleaned from any book that I'd run across trouble shooting and other random fortuitous events ... if it were in a book, a lot of what I submitted might have only ever been repair notes some firm was not about to share, exclusive to dealers etc. Yes, "not in a book" was a policy that flopped onto wikipedia and wow if that didn't give some little person a sense of power removing material wholesale. No doubt that the flame wars were a problem, but the "must be already in a book" policy does little to further the sum of knowledge. It just means some different people get to curate what the public should know ...

So 2022 contrasts greatly to the mid 00s, where it seemed wikipedia welcomed all people to submit, helping to really achieve something important, playing their little part to contribute and add to the sum of knowledge which may help other people or of interest to historians.

So, if he was the only pilot in cockpit, everyone on the flight would have died too?
This was in a branch that before pandemic would fork out 10k easily. I’m not the only one who experienced this - my friends experienced this across different banks in different states.
Only if they can do it cheaper than the Navy. Nuclear isn't used because it saves on fuel. It's used because the operational advantages it bestows are worth more for the largest carriers and submarines than the extra cost it adds.
Everyone should be welcome to post, this discussion was largely constructive, and though GP should have refrained from certain bad faith rhetoric, their line of questioning resulted in interesting discussion which is itself a contribution.

Your criticism should be calling on them to post more respectfully and humbly, rather than shunning them. We don't know if they're a scientist (let alone that they never will be) and shouldn't assert they aren't, and everyone is entitled to post from throwaway accounts. Everyone should be welcome to question assertions, even nonexperts (though nonexperts should acknowledge their limitations & refrain from disrespectful language).
If it is an older one it will most likely outlive you. We used these in production for daily runs of 1000's of pages and the mechanism would eventually wear out but that's not something that any ordinary mortal will ever see. Fun bit: they even offered to replace the ones that eventually did fail under warranty so that they could strip them to see what failed so they could improve them. Very high standards there.
This likely affects a number of people that is so small, that it's irrelevant

No. Just no.

Rights are not a for-profit balance sheet, such as when Google support provides crappy service, or ghosts you, in the name of profit.

Rights are rights. Entrenched, untouchable, everlasting. And each loss affects us all, for the next right taken, is from you.

Telling people they must use private enterprise, a third party and pay a fee, to conduct commerce between them, is a fascist act.

And guess what. 30 years from now, when that 10k is like 500, what then?

Because limits like these are never raised.
> They could call it "bank transfer", and it would solve all these problems!

Yes, it is ACH, which is what a check is. One doesn't need to physically have the piece of paper to make it happen (which is why you can deposit a check with just a photo). Either way it's just ACH.
Why not a BACS or any other type of bank transfer for that industry/sector? It sounds like a good way to do tax evasion if you just take cash in hand payments.
hear, hear

I never understood why the answer to the "frontend problem" was to do more things on the frontend.

Writing yourself and API to talk to your own backend is silly nonsense, yet somehow it has become the norm. I loathe it.

Thank science for Phoenix LiveView and the various frameworks that followed in its footsteps. Also htmx and the like.
That notice is buried in the fine print on the box, the box I didn't get to see until checkout at the bricks and mortar store I purchased it at.
> It's possible his speed-run record with a random seed is 14 minutes now

14 minutes would be top 400 of the "random seed glitchless" category. Which is pretty good since there's 3600+ (distinct) runs on that leaderboard.

> He's ridiculously good, that much is clear to me now.

I would agree.

> He doesn't talk much, though, and I think that's kinda necessary for a youtube channel.

I dunno - I follow a few Minecraft channels who don't talk and use subtitles instead. Fits with the general "chill" aesthetic (although I appreciate speedruns are anything but chill.)

Virginia has a data center problem
If the suggestion truly is to try squeeze as much utility as possible out of a single RDMBS setup, and if you already need and use an RDBMS, then I would consider it as an option. If not, it's an absolutely idiotic choice. And that's the problem with this article - it really comes of as a suggestion to supplant your Redis setup, a dedicated key-value store, with Postgres, a full-fledged and highly complex relational database.
Yeah an important lesson for programmers is that for big projects the ecosystem around a language is usually more important, for any given metric (productivity, quality, performance), than the language itself. Python being used to do high performance math all the time is a good example of this. Python the language isn't at all good at that, but the ecosystem has nice libraries with high performance C code underneath them.

If one comes to believe there is a language that really is a lot better, then you have to get to work building out the ecosystem around it to realize that, and it isn't easy!
Look at the TZ bridge as an example. Closest you can get to NYC to build a bridge without dealing with the port authority.
Back in the day we had this mantra - "complexity kills". Boy, did it take us another decade to learn the same lesson - AGAIN.
Agreed. Switched a year ago from Gmail to fastmail, works great.

Increasing email confirmation rates through “Sniper Links”
Asynchronous processor interrupts have analogues to basically all these issues that signals do. Signals are certainly a pain to implement and get right, but people seem to think they're something that they aren't, or expect them to be used for something they can't do. Clearly signals aren't a message passing scheme, they're a notification system. And obviously taking an asynchronous interrupt needs to use reentrant code.

As for the fork paper, seems like a typical academic type of critique.

"Fork today is a convenient API for a single-
threaded process with a small memory footprint and simple
memory layout that requires fine-grained control over the
execution environment of its children but does not need
to be strongly isolated from them."

I.e., exactly what it is good for and used for. And it goes on

"Fork is incompatible with a single address space.
Many modern contexts restrict execution to a single address
space, including picoprocesses [42], unikernels [ 53], and en-
claves [ 14]."

And talking about heterogeneous address spaces, and all other things academics love but nobody really uses.

They also make pretty outlandish claims "Fork infects an entire system." based on the Windows implementation where the Win32 API and kernel explicitly do not implement fork. And it's provocative language "infects" -- the Linux kernel fork implementation is maybe a thousand lines of C code. And that does not constrain it or prevent it offering several of the suggested alternatives.

K42 was also a failure of a research operating system, and another microkernel (surprise). Turns out (as usual) that designing a system around some latest craze or fad in technology no matter how good (RCU and other lock free algorithms) rather than designing it to deal with workloads that people actually use, is still the recipe for disaster and one of the main causes of second system syndrome.
From my experience, the horrors of javascript come from letting the client handle too much stuff.
Frontends tend to run a ton of logic that should be handed off to the proper tool for the job: SQL.
The time and complexity you save on the backend is simply not put to good use these days.
I like to program SPAs like a reactive thin client and let the backend be more SQL or ORM heavy.
> Most of the cutting edge papers are trained on several $100k worth of GPU time

You can scale some things down. VGG 16 is basically a stack of CNNs, there's no reason you need 16 of them with an input size of 224x224x3; you can just as easily watch a 4 layer CNN learn filters on inputs of size 64x64x1. Obviously if the paper's result is achieved from sheer compute this won't work, but plenty of results come purely from the architecture.

You could also implement and run networks that are designed to be really cheap to compute. ResNet/InceptionNet, for example. I think this is a pretty important part of the space right now, considering how performant, general, and therefore inefficient Transformer architectures are.
Once you go hack, you never go back.

I do enjoy your videos, especially the rules for rulers one, which I often think about when I need to humanise politicians. It's inevitable that they end up compromising every moral fibre of their being on the way to power, so I shouldn't be surprised or outraged.
Event horizon is an imaginary surface. As you come closer, it becomes further from you. How can an imaginary surface be holographic or not?
The experience of being a seller of old books is available to amateurs, in the form of volunteering at your local "Friends of the XXX Library". These organizations receive donations of books, sort and price them, and resell the books with the proceeds donated back to the library. Friends of the Palo Alto Library[1] processes tens of thousands of books in a year, and a single monthly sale weekend typically grosses over $15,000.

As described in the article, books do arrive in, mostly, cardboard boxes, or in paper or plastic shopping bags, and I think I remember a plastic washtub. And of course in a suburb, they arrive as a loose pile in the back of an SUV.

As volunteer manager of a section, I get to evaluate and price a couple hundred books a month. The primary tool for this is Bookfinder[2]. I can't imagine working in this business without it and other sites like Addall[3] and of course, eBay.

What user data do you believe Mozilla to be collecting? Please be specific.
Really smart putting the runbook automation and the docs all in one place.

Yeah, when I was on call, I'd have an ipython notebook up and running with access to all the systems I need to extract data and information from for doing investigative analysis. I feel like my intelligence drops 10% when a P1 would come in. Being able to map IDs in one system to another system so you can access a specific log can reduce much of the chaos.
I agree that merchant nuclear-powered vessels will need to be cheaper than Naval nuclear-powered vessels. That is the goal. An international carbon tax or other credits for low-carbon/low-emission shipping would help.
Sounds like hyperscript. Look at this hypothetical PyGtk example:

i = 1
def click(event):
i += 1

g.Window(
g.Frame(title=“Hello”,
g.VBox(
spacing=10,
g.Label(
“i = %d” % i,
expand=True
),
g.Button(“click me”,
click=click,
)
)
)
)

Desktop frameworks could do this for decades instead of Glide XMLs or manual setup, but they didn’t.

The government is going to screw up anything they touch. So yes they'll screw up the carbon tax, but that's also an argument against any other measure they take to address the climate crisis. The carbon tax is more efficient than any other proposed measure, so you have to argue that they'll screw up the carbon tax more than they'll screw up the other stuff.

> you just end up accomplishing nothing other than regressively taxing the entire population.

Pick one. If it accomplishes nothing, it's not an effective tax either.
How to Output Your Mac's Audio to Two Pairs of Headphones at the Same Time
There already exists laws where you have to register with tax authorities to receive payments in cash over 10,000 euros.

It would be quite easy for the government to look at this list and decide that there's no reason they can't be done by BACS and then introduce this law.

There's a lot of replies that are quite shocked, but in the EU and the UK it is very unusual to use cash for high value payments. For example, you would not be able to buy property in the UK with cash. Even if you had the cash and put it into a bank account for the sole purpose to send to your solicitors, this would get flagged and you would not be able to proceed with the purchase.

There's a lot of money laundering, and laws like this don't really affect the average person, they would disproportionately affect people trying to commit fraud though.

The majority of people won't even have 10,000 euro in savings, let alone want to make purchases above this amount in cash.
Length constraint on the title.

Because it is not a cache. High entropy tables require a lot of vacuuming, which adds overhead to actual database operations. While you can set autovacuum parameters per table, they still are not free .

If you need something like Redis or memcache, use that for anything that is heavy on writes and deletes.
Good reminder, thanks for sharing.
You should definitely normalize e-mails before hashing or doing any comparison on the back end. Especially if you've had a stage during account creation where you verified delivery of that normalized address. When you take in an address later you normalize the input and compare it to your stored value (that itself was normalized before storage).

I don't understand the "right amount of control" bit, there are plenty of options to control what data moves to and fro in NextJS, but the CEO of Vercel has replied to you in a sibling comment; he's going to be able to address your technical concerns better than me.

I'll just add that I'm not familiar with either of those sites, because I'm sitting in Spain and neither operate here, but on first inspection the UX has felt brilliant to me - particularly Walmart's. Everything loads very fast, the search is great, etc. I cannot say if their code or eng practices are a tire fire but the product looks good to me.

I am speaking *nothing* about compelling the use of cash between two parties.

My only and consistent point that is that it is silly for a nation to put a ceiling amount on its currency (cash) trading hands in physical meatspace form.

For the amount will stay while inflation will not and the cohort of people “bumping” into this limit will increase over time.

It’s not about compelling cash. Move away from that.

It’s about a nation limiting the amount that can be used in the “name” of “fighting terrorism.”

Nonsense.
I'm generally anti-union, but happy to see the union here pushing back against this. This is definitely not in passengers' interests, and normally passengers don't have an advocate with any power, so it's nice to see our interests are aligned with the pilots' union.

Mob boss starts a building company, paying the employees with dirty cash (but hey, no income tax, so no ones complains).

Building company charges customers, but asks for it in cash.

Dirty money goes out to construction employees, clean cash comes in from customers. The Bank flag is just saying there is laundering occurring near the money.
