I have an old Laserjet M1217NFW that I just ordered a generic toner cartridge for. Hoping I’ll be ok, as I don’t think I’ve updated my drivers/software..
I have a house that's less than 20 and it doesn't have a heat exchanger. I haven't heard of the new construction around here having any. Perhaps it's only in certain states?

HBO is the only streaming service I am willing to pay $15/month for. I feel like the quality of their shoes are better than any of the rest especially compared to Netflix. Netflix content is very hit or miss but the last bunch of shows and especially the movies were terrible.
There are plenty of home espresso machines below $1000AUD ($600USD). Breville, Sunbeam, Delonghi, Smeg, Bugatti, etc. And many of them even come with built in grinders.

Personally I wouldn't use most of the lower end options as a daily choice, but if we're talking beginner level, the range is huge.
Skis matter, I'd say the best thing you can do is ask for advice at a good shop while being realistic about your skill level, how much you can ski, and how much you might improve. Try not to be too proud and say you are just going to ski powder, be realistic about the conditions you are likely to ski in. There are some decent sites to ask as well. You likely can find a used pair of good skis instead of buying new if you prefer.

Also don't forget about boots. They can be hard to fit and find a good pair but the effort is worth it. You might not care immediately and skis are more exciting to buy, but your boots are how you use the skis and bad boots can make it hard to get better.

It seems like after a decent period of experimentation many skis currently are just good, especially in the intermediate range. I don't know much about beginner skis but depending on what you learn on the next step up from rental skis will feel like a significant improvement.

After that, there is a lot of feel and style that determines the skis you might use. I have probably 10-15 pairs because I hold on to my worn out, broken skis instead of throwing them away. I figured out what characteristics I like for where I ski and a couple common conditions. Some people like long, straight skis, some are happy with shorter noodles, part of that is style and part of that is where the skis are used. Some people care a lot about weight.
You can't just throw out buzzwords and accuse and convict people of crimes though. Not even if you really really really don't like them. If the legal system rules that their actions are criminal and rules that they should be disconnected from the internet, that's a different matter. ISPs shouldn't unilaterally get to decide what people paying for their service can read or say.
And don't forget that Signal requires an iOS/Android primary device which limits accessibility for folks that may not want to participate in the tracking brick with a screen and be without a smart phone, or can only afford a feature phone, or want to support FOSS with a Linux phone.
technically everything is caused by quantum mechanics, not a great claim lol
Doesn’t matter how mad you are about it. You likely won’t get out what you put in.
Funnily enough I have a printer that refills like that, and it's HP. Paper and cheap syringes of toner are all it should need for a long time.
That is a very believable number. I had a leak in my concrete slab last year. The plumbing bill was $20k, which didn't include fixing all the holes in the drywall nor the bathroom remodel after they went through the shower to jackhammer a hole in the foundation.
In my experience redux-toolkit + redux-saga for async stuff usually work really well. In case of performance problems one can go with profiling + targeted optimisations (e.g. a separate store, some locally managed state).

Honestly this is a problem that was solved 40 years ago with the breakup of AT&T: the Equal Access mandate.... and it worked right up until institutional capture ensured that it didn't.

Now here we are 40 years later and AT&T has virtually reassembled itself and the Equal Access laws have been completely obliterated. I wonder if there's a correlation?

Thank you. That sounds like an important feature.
An SCP file is NOT a direct measurement or representative capture of the flux transitions on the media. It's the output of a machine that imperfectly tries to measure them and inserts noise and delays into the data instead.

And not only in a meaningless "not as accurate" sense -- the drive loses exactly the information that's critical to implementing a working copy. That's why you have to sample a track multiple times for the benefit of downstream analysis/RE tools, and why a naive capture can't be written back to a disk to get the same results.

It's not a good situation. A driver reader that *could* measure the actual flux transitions wouldn't have these problems, but we don't have such a device yet.

My point was that a true capture is/should-be possible, but not with the hardware as implemented by Greaseweazel et. al.

Net neutrality was fraudulently put forth by Internet giants and the activist organizations they fund as an issue of free speech. It put the most censorious platforms on the face of the Earth in the ridiculous position that if they were made to pay their own bandwidth bills, it would lead to content censorship and the inability of Americans to freely express political ideas.

As Ajit Pai's FCC Ruling stated:

>This consensus is among the reasons that there is scant evidence that end users, under different legal frameworks, have been prevented by blocking or throttling from accessing the content of their choosing. It also is among the reasons why providers have voluntarily abided by no-blocking practices even during periods where they were not legally required to do so. As to free expression in particular, we note that none of the actual incidents discussed in the Title II Order squarely implicated free speech. If anything, recent evidence suggests that hosting services, social media platforms, edge providers, and other providers of virtual Internet infrastructure are more likely to block content on viewpoint grounds.

This statement included a footnote specifically noting the unilateral suspension of The Daily Stormer.

Of course, "net neutrality" was struck down, YouTube was made to pay their bandwidth bills, and absolutely nothing changed at all. The corporate censors went on with their work of suspending everything that was bigoted, and then most Trump supporters, and then prominent Bernie supporters during the primaries, and then people who talked about the risks of experimental vaccines. They continue this regime of censorship up to this very day, but they have to pay for transit in places that it is limited.

It was an absolutely absurd fraud that went on for years, but the game is over. Why would anyone pretend that Net Neutrality means anything other than a cheaper bandwidth bill for Google at this point?

>> “earning to give,” the idea that people like Bankman-Fried should do whatever it takes to make a lot of money so they can give it away. To amass his billions, Bankman-Fried allegedly defrauded his customers, and critics have said his downfall shows that EA is vulnerable to a myopia that allows the ends to justify illegal means. Among EAs themselves, however, the most salient criticism is subtler: that living at the logical extremes of the ideology is impractical and a recipe for misery.

While it is correct that large tech companies are benefited by Section 230, there can be things that mutually benefit both users and companies; and making companies liable for UGC would only have the effect of making it another form of cable TV where a select handful of people get to make content for the rest of us to consume. It is definitely a far cry from the democratization of content generation that we have today, where a nobody could make content and have a realistic chance of becoming recognized widely.

The articles posted on HN discussing this very topic bring this up, so reading them is worthwhile instead of simply dismissing the entire thing as “big tech bad.”

Heh messing with the traces is pretty nuts. In the book Where Wizards Stay Up Late about the origins of the internet there was a similar story. Some grad student needed a delay in some execution path so he cut the trace and used a very long wire to introduce the delay. I can’t remember the story exactly but it was like the ultimate brute force fix, using the laws of physics as the hack.
1 day for... ~500 kLOC, it seems. Which is pretty good I think, but larger codebases would have a lot more to deal with -- not just more dependencies, but also more breakages per dependency.

There are two differences from Swift:

1. You don't need to refcount everything. In Swift objects have to be refcounted and heap allocated. In Rust you only use it selectively in cases where shared ownership is really necessary, and otherwise still have an option of using exclusive ownership, value types, etc.

2. You can still borrow Rc's contents locally and use it as a plain reference, so hot loops and leaf functions don't pay the price. Often you may need to touch the refcount only once when building a data structure or passing data to a closure, and then on use it via a temporary reference. In Swift the refcount is updated much more often, and there are only limited cases where ARC optimizer can skip it.
VCs, who on the whole underperform the market and fail to provide returns to their limited partners and investors, seem to think that as a group that have the best insight and feedback in the industry. Singularly, they believe they are the smartest and most profound people on the planet. This despite investing in companies that mostly go under, have down rounds, or themselves face disappearance. All the feedback in this article is trite, obvious, and easy to say in hindsight. Where were these smart VCs in 2021 when it was all about burn, burn, burn and spend, spend, spend? How smart it is to say that if you have 12 months of runway, cutting 50% of costs saves you a year. Where was that advice a year ago?

VCs are money managers, managing mostly other people's money, investing in startups primarily as financial products, not as long-term business concerns. Take the advice with a grain of hindsight is 20/20 salt.

The net sum of this wise money manager's feedback on how to "manage cash for early stage startups": raise more money (if you can), spend less money (if you can), make more money (if you can), and run your company better (if you can). All that without a fancy four-letter framework.
Worth pointing out that it's not 100% accurate at arithmetic, that becomes quite clear when you ask it to calculate large numbers. It's result is usually close, but not perfect.

So it hasn't learned the exact rules for arithmetic, it's learned rules for approximating arithmetic to a decent level of accuracy. Similar to how humans can know the approximate result of an equation before doing the actual math (though GPT is way more precise than humans)
You're letting perfect be the enemy of good. Government is not intrinsically bad. Regulations have achieved many good things. Just because there is corruption and abuses of power doesn't mean society should refrain from employing regulatory measures through their representatives.

Healthy markets exist, in part, because of regulatory action, not in spite of it.
I went with T-Mobile precisely because they stood with net neutrality when it was first on the chopping block. They are now, by far, the worst offender. The battle is long over, and completely and utterly lost.
That's probably correct. Burke Gilman trail ripped out tracks in the 70s though.
You might be surprised at the rigor applied in studies like the NREL Standard Scenarios, viewable here: https://scenarioviewer.nrel.gov/. I'm guessing the Twin Cities region doesn't actually see 42 days of overcast skies, but if it does, that can be captured in these studies. And transmission is important - load in the Twin Cities area does not have to be served by generation in that area.
Suburbs produce places for rural residents to get services.

the question comes down to whether or not the money is viewed as the person's, as a part of personal property, or viewed as the government's, as a part of state ownership.
Is that a concern that has caused significant problems in reality? Because in the same spirit, internet search, advertising, and social networking all have a far bigger influence on what people do and don't see an one that they actually exercise in reality and employ to influence the political opinions of the population to advance the agenda of the owners and operators of these corporations.

Yet there doesn't seem to be a lot of overlap between people who care about both. I think both are real concerns, but it seems like most of the noise was just astroturfed political wrangling.
It’s a very, very entertaining read, although it loses its way and loses steam a bit as it goes on
I’ve gotten it into a somewhat glitched mode after a bunch of turns where it starts to print an inner monologue before it’s response. It does tend to lead to better answers when it has an intermediate thought.
> In functional programming, functions are not allowed to do that. The only thing a function is allowed to do is return a value.

Oh, yes, they are allowed to do that. You capture the effects into a list, and return the tuple of list and return value. If you feel like it, you wrap that into a monad to pretend you are only "returning" a single thing.

> In FP functions can only rely on the parameters passed to it (it cannot refer to anything outside) and it should not do anything beyond return a value.

You mean explicit parameters (props) and implicit parameters (context), right? I thing you forgot the latter. Implicit parameters have existed for quite a bit, for example in the reader monad.

> In FP, functions can be called in any order (unless one function needs the return value of another), and the final result is not affected by the order.

Yup, except if you write a bunch of functions and store them in a list with the intention of applying the result of the first entry of the list against the first entry of the list. Now, if you construct the list of functions as effects (by hiding them behind a monad) you find out that you need to call the effects in the same order as to construct the list of effects in the same order. This doesn't contradict FP, it contradicts your mental model of how React is supposed to work.

> If you have state it is not FP, whether it is global or not.

The state resides in the runtime executor, exactly like Haskell's IO monad. Again, this contradicts your mental model, not React or FP.
I suppose it's the redefinition of average to include IQs up to "115" that I'd say was the issue then...
You could specialize in SEO which feels like coding in that it's very analytical (simplified example: write 5 blog posts, check Google Search Console for how they're performing, write 5 more that should now do better based on what you've learned, etc.)

I still remember watching Ajit Pai explain why he didn't want net neutrality at an interview he gave in San Francisco. [0] He was obviously trying to stay on the good side of Verizon, ATT, etc. but his argument against net neutrality never made any sense. I think Tom Wheeler had it right. [1]

Ok, let me put it to you another way: Comcast could block Truth Social tomorrow or demand Twitter provide a Trump-free version of its site. There is no regulation against it and no recourse for Comcast customers in most of their service areas. They are just as much gatekeepers as big tech is and this whole "net neutrality vs. big tech regulation" thing is a false dichotomy.

"The leopards aren't eating my face RIGHT NOW" is not an argument.
We should be clear... in these large organizations... HEAD is always broken. But it has the advantage of being broken for everyone, tested by everyone, fixed by everyone, and thus fixed for everyone. And this usually makes it far better than the alternatives.

Having 1000 dependencies with versions pinned means you are living alone and will run into fewer issues, but when they do come, they will be absolute nightmares that no one else is dealing with and no one can help with. And one day you'll have to do the game of begging someone else to upgrade their version of a downstream thing to fix the issue, and they won't, so you'll try to get the other group to backport the fix in their thing to the version you can't upgrade off. And they won't. etc. etc.

Full versioning is the worst of all approaches, IMO, for large complex interconnected codebases (especially ones that are many-to-many from libraries to output binaries) but it absolutely is sometimes the only viable one (for example, the entire open-source-ecosystem is a giant(er) version of this problem, and in that space, versioning is the only thing that I can imagine working).
I can also access old chats that are still open so it's likely a bug.

My cynical narrative is that as progressive activists came to embrace social media censorship as a mechanism to win political battles, the underlying advocacy not having ISPs meddle with the internet became harder to square with enthusiastic advocacy for censorship at the layer of the internet's actual communication applications (or basic service layer, eg. Cloudflare.) "ISPs must not oppress us, but it's fine when social media platforms do it" probably lacks mass appeal.
