Hi! erm, lemme check tomorrow -- I'm using one I got second hand in facebook marketplace from a business. The printer works with the library in the article but things like font-size selection had to be retweaked

It's a generic brand one -- but on eBay I've see some for cheap; maybe (like someone pointed out) not that cheap (sorry if title was misleading, not my intention at all)

My recommendation? buy it locally or just ask a business if they are getting rid of one (that was how I got lucky)

Sorry I can't help much more
I have minimal experience with Rust. OTOH, programming C++ for living since 2000, with a few gaps when I used other languages like Obj-C and C#.

I agree C++ is very hard to learn if you only have experience with higher-level languages like Python and Scala. I think there’re two reasons for that.

C++ is unsafe. There’s no way around this one, it was designed that way, like C or assembly. Still, with modern toolset it’s not terribly bad. Compilers print warnings, BTW I typically ask them to treat warnings as errors to deliberately fail the build. On Windows, a combination of debug build, debug C runtime, and visual studio debugger helps tremendously. Linux compilers have these sanitizers (address, memory, thread, undefined behavior) which are comparable, they too sacrifice runtime speed for diagnostics and debuggability.

Another reason, the language itself is very complicated, especially the templates. However, just because something is in the language doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to use it. You don’t need to be familiar with that stuff unless doing something very advanced, like customizing the Eigen C++ library. Don’t follow the patterns found in the standard library: unlike your code, that library has good reasons to use that template BS. If instead of templates you do something else, C++ becomes much easier to use, and most importantly other people will still be able to read and understand your code. Another reason to avoid excessive template metaprogramming, it slows down the compiler, because template-heavy code often needs to be in headers as opposed to cpp files.

P.S. If you don’t need extreme levels of performance (defined as “approach the numbers listed in CPU specs”, the numbers are FLOPS or memory bandwidth), and you don’t need the ecosystem too much, consider C# instead of C++. Much faster than Python, often faster than Scala or Java, easy integration with C should you need that (about the same as Rust, much easier than Python or Java), the only downside is these ~100MB of the runtime. The reputation is weird, but technically the language and runtime are pretty good. For example, here’s a C# library which re-implements a subset of ffmpeg and libavcodec C libraries for one particular platform, Linux on Raspberry Pi4: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/tree/master/VrmacVideo
NZ houses are typically all wood and/or stamped steel. On piles or if you’re feeling fancy a concrete pad
Which city is this or nearby this so I don’t move there?
Troublingly, the study suggests otherwise, noting that consistent preferences seem to be established by age 6 (and citing some other research documenting as such). While it's not definitive or replicated, I do find the large n, multinational sampling, and experimental elegance of this own persuasive; it's had a significant effect on my worldview.
I feel like the science behind West Coast weather phenomena is dubious, if only because the West Coast US has basically no historical record.

There probably were a number of extreme weather events that hit CA before the 19th century. In fact if you delve into it, there are a number of legends passed down from the indigenous peoples describing huge fires and unbelievable rain storms that flooded the whole of the central valley. 40M of people now live in a place where we have literally no idea what kind of weird one-off weather events hit every 100-200 years.
I absolutely love windy.com. Prior to having a ForeFlight subscription, I found it to have the most accurate hourly forecasts before heading up on a flight. Both the website and mobile app are stellar, and they put extra effort into building tools for pilots. They have the best visualizations for cloud layers, let you toggle UTC time, and they integrate with airport info beautifully. I’d set notifications on METAR updates prior to heading out so I’d stay up to date.
Then the headline should be changed.

There's plenty of concern around global warming without exaggerating climate and/or weather events. Straying from the facts helps nobody except the news outlets.

Edit: technically, WaPo didn't misstate anything in the headline, but it's a bit deceptive. The HN headline is (currently) wrong, probably because the submitter was fooled by WaPo.
Anyone can build houses out of more expensive materials, if they're ready to pay for it. America has an abundance of wood so wood framing houses seems sensible.
Spotify to me has been crap since they tried to ruin podcasts by making a walled garden
Is niacinamide the same effectiveness as niacin?
I forgot to add, like others mentioned this does not protect the content rather it just blocks normal browsers from rendering it for the viewer. If that is your only goal then replacing what the viewer sees should suffice. If the goal is to protect content then the payload would need to be encrypted and the authorized viewers would need the key or password to decrypt the blob however part of this transaction is client side. Perhaps you could elaborate more around the use cases.
It it’s that old, it probably has lots of lead in it, and you probably shouldn’t use it.

I am not a lawyer, but AFAIK anything you did that rises to the required level of minimal creativity is copyrightable. If you take AI code and the do something creative with it, the parts that you did are copyrightable. Someone else can still take the same AI output and do something different with it. There are a few exceptions, such as the merger doctrine, but this is generally how it works if I understood it correctly.
Java ships everything with JARs, though? Binary.
Yep, even famous people in their time are quickly forgotten. How often does anyone under age 60 think about JFK? In another 50 years he’ll be a name among many in a history class, which is more than most people get but that will be the extent of it.
I have 6 long hour audio track I found online years ago that i use as white noise. its actually a loop of the Star Trek TNG ambient warp engine thrumming sound effect it not actually random but works for my needs. i just keep it on my pones computers or tablet and play it when i need white noise
You can't make statements like that about America in general. Every piece of it has completely different and extremely opinionated housing regulations. Partly as protectionism for the wood homebuilders, so that nobody tries making them in factories.
Just checked out your pricing. I notice you have a one time price, which gives you a year of support/upgrades. Curious the percentage of customers who opt not to get upgrades and therefore don’t need to pay yearly.
Which would be quite impolite, tough fella. The nice thing about working in a professional environment is that I don't have to cater to your desires, I simply have to be polite and professional :)
Yep also German that's why I had the thought :D
I noticed earlier today that thepiratebay.org seems to be down for the first time in a while. It's just a cloudflare error page at the moment. Really curious what's going on there.
Do you think this is blackmail as described by your parent comment, or a genuine (albeit unofficial) offer of protection?
You are right. Last year I've got a virus named covid (probably you have heard of it). For a few days I've lost the taste of food. I mostly stopped to eat in such days. Eating food that tasted of nothing was totally unpleasant!

I'll add another one, that is an issue when traveling:

- Having an app store account of the country you are visiting.

Some of this apps are geo restricted and can't be downloaded with foreign app store accounts. Sometimes they can't process foreign cards or foreign phone numbers.
Really? You can't spend 5 minutes to look up software that will generate many different types of noise, perhaps even tuned for the use case? And why the resentment for free software? You are gonna have an easier time finding that kind of stuff as a simple webpage or better yet on f-droid rather then on an ad infested, corpo boot licker laden platforms like google play and the app store. Just the fact you don't have to sweep trough heaps and heaps of garbage is a plus. Sure normies are gonna prefer paying for an mp3 or whatever, but we are on hacker news, we should strive for better. (and maybe help enlighten our fellow clueless users...)
Somewhat off topic but we have also moved noise into the ocean via commercial fleets which is very noisy ("which is louder even than a jet engine at take-off") for all the marine life who use sound to communicate [1] and I assume there was almost no human-caused noise in the ocean in the Noisy Middle ages.

Well yeah, the prompts are written by a human and the output is not deterministic. I don’t understand what your point is.
Works just fine here.
Over here in Poland, companies usually require a "proof of purchase", which can be a receipt or an invoice. As a buyer, it's up to you which one you want to receive[0]. There's a special kind of pseudo-invoice called "personal invoice", which is like a VAT invoice except you don't need to be a company or provide a tax ID for it. This is the one you want in any scenario when you expect to hold on to the proof of purchase for longer than it takes to reach the nearest trash can - its killer feature is that it can't possibly fit on a thermal paper receipt[1], so you get it printed out using regular, durable means, on regular office paper (and/or e-mailed as PDF).

Add an option to show only top level comments/collapse threads by default.

Auto dupe detection with linking historical discussion (mild QoL). Aggregate dupes posted in a short timeframe (needs manual intervention I fear).

Add an at least rudimentary tagging and tag filter/browser system.

The search could use some work (but I guess you can do site:news.ycombinator.com searches with other engines).

Otherwise pretty neat as is. The ephemeral nature of threads on recurring topics - such as this one - I find somewhat tragic but such is the nature of aggregators.

Never add embedded media or "modern web" shenanigans!

Ask HN: What’s the Best Statistics Software?
I’m currently using JASP which I think is good for what I currently need it for, but as I continue with my research stuff, I’m wondering if there are better options. I’m just interested and curious what other options there are. And what are the strengths/limitations of the different options?

If that order of magnitude more pixels doesn't enable people to do more, make the old and impractical the new and practical, or even leave people with the desire to upgrade, I would argue that order of magnitude more pixels could be incrementally better.

Then again, sometimes incremental ends up sneaking up on us and being revolutionary in the end. There are many technologies that appeared in the 80s (if not earlier), yet did not turn out to be practical until several decades of incremental development happened.
In a "rule of law" country, you kind of need something more than "he's guilty and we all know it". Otherwise, a bunch of us can say "labrador is guilty, and we all know it, so he can't run for office", and you have no recourse, whether or not you're guilty.

And who would say that he's not allowed to run? Who would make the official pronouncement? The Federal Election Commission? Do you think this can happen without it turning into a Supreme Court case? Do you think the Supreme Court is just going to say, "yes, you're right, he can't run"? Give them as much reason as you can to agree with you.

More, even if he is guilty, it's important that you prove it to his supporters. Sure, some won't listen, no matter what proof you give. Some will, though, and it's important that you give them reason to get off the Trump train. If you don't, you'll just radicalize them when you say that he can't run again.
I prefer to think of it as financing entrepreneurs.
Not to be a cynic, but what have the people with good intentions actually achieved? The only thing I can think of is rights that were fought for as concessions from those in power. Building something new from scratch, it's failed every time.

Show HN: Affordable and Quality AI Art Generator
I want to preface this with the fact I've been on this site for over 15 years and I do not want to see a "redesign", just some tweaks.

1. The grey self post text is not accessible and hard to read. It needs to be darker. Same is true of user names, etc.

2. HN could improve the UI for mobile users by making clickable elements slightly larger and adding some extra spacing to prevent accidental miss-clicks.

3. Add an inline confirmation step screen when flagging a post – I accidentally flag posts all the time.

4. Change "favourite" to "book mark". Add it to the list view. Add a link to "book marks" in the top bar so they can easily accessed. Sometimes I see something that looks interesting but I don't have time to read. I don't want to click through to the comments just to "favourite" it, then I need to remember to go to my profile and click on "favourites" later. I just want to quickly book mark posts and be able to easily access them later.
agreed, but there's still differentiation in syntax, and I was responding to someone asking for no differentiation.

You'd be doing it so the vehicle won't move, and if the vehicle doesn't move it will cause traffic. If your argument is even slightly correct (that there would be any problem prosecuting such behavior) then it at least won't be in the future. Obviously trying to trick a car into causing traffic chaos is not going to be an accepted behavior.
no idea, was hoping someone more in the know of the field would comment. one thing id ponder too is.. the time frame... how long say for fill up to slippage? i just link cause i had come across the study from a news story month back and it just one of those weird things almost akin to simulation where its like "of course this brings a lot of rain to the area"... hopefully its not enough to do much in that grand scheme of things and just enough to help with drought conditions ie hoping salt lake gets some of that rain too.
because piping dev/urandom into my speakers wont be pleasant background noise it will have some horrible high-pitch noise i last heard when i used dial-up and i don't want to hear that again. so i would have to mess with it and waste time making script to sculpt the random sound wave to not be to low pitch or to high pitch or to quiet or loud and by the time i have something usable i have spent more time playing with bash, and looking at pulse-audio man files than I really want.
This is one of the useful tactics that unions will use when they aren’t legally allowed to strike for one reason or another, they will engage in large scale “work to rule”, which is pretty much what it sounds like, you do your work following the rules to the letter and no further, stubbornly by the book no matter how inconvenient or unproductive or disruptive the rules are when you suddenly start following them exactly.

It’s particularly effective if the rules are a large part of their collective grievances with management, as it highlights to all involved that the current rules need changing, and can sometimes result in fairly quick and positive changes since it demonstrates to management that the current “rules as written” are not the most fiscally effective set of rules for running the business.

The lack of a standardized patch system for games is mind boggling! Sure there’s some for desktop software exes which just ship the new version every time but those apps are rather small and games can be several GB! We had to roll our own for our game but I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a universal standard when I went searching for one last year. Butler from itch.io looked interesting but I couldn’t decipher how to use it in the end. Also rolling patches manually seemed crazy to me and we ended up using a library similar to rsync that works pretty well and makes deploying patches easier but still not perfect.

Is there some general consensus that wood-framed houses are bad overall?

I can see some disadvantages, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are bad. The fact that a lot of people do it makes me think there's some benefit.
Yes, but somehow it worked in a not-so-tangible way.

Germany for one apparently gave much more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_reparations than it got out of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan#Expenditures in reverse. Imagine the allies had extracted much more wealth from Afghanistan or the Irak than they have put into it – itʼs inconceivable.

Slightly alternative explanation for West Germany, combining what others have said:

- First stage: The allies under US leadership were running the country anyway, they did it well and there was sufficient cooperation by Germans, for whom the Germany that was defeated represented an entity utterly discredited on account of the most horrible crimes against humanity.

- Second stage: The feeling “the Americans are actually on our side – defeating us they have liberated us and then helped us to a new state in which we can live better than ever before, plus they are protecting us from the USSR” became more or less mainstream.

(The experience in East Germany was completely different of course.)

So I think the most important factor was that American victory and American predominance were associated with liberation and freedom.

It's worth considering that the Hawaiian islands are seismically active and shipping stones across the ocean is pretty expensive.
but if all the "podcaster" is contributing is white noise, spotify can provide that without paying a "podcaster" anything so as a business it makes no sense to allow it to continue. If you have multiple "podcasters" earning 5 figure monthly off of white noise why pay them if you don't have to?

So I guess no, its not the same.
It's funny to me that Apple and the FBI coordinated to spin the whole iPhone decryption thing in the media after the San Bernardino shooting as Apple vs FBI (while in reality the FBI had all the access to all the data they wanted, via iCloud, via an encryption backdoor that Apple explicitly preserved for them).

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...

Now Apple no doubt would love to do some RE on these devices to identify and patch any exploits they use, and many of the local PDs that can get Cellebrite to sell them these boxes probably will abide by these terms, having previously been convinced via Apple/FBI propaganda that Apple is opposed to cooperating with law enforcement.

It's a little bit funny, but I think Apple security will win out in the long run as it only takes one instance of a leak for Apple to patch a vulnerability, and they do have a lot of money (and the cooperation of the FBI/DHS et al). The text of the training quoted in the article makes it seem that Cellebrite knows they are fighting an ultimately losing battle there, as information never becomes more secret over time, only less so.

That wasn't my point in the original post. Obviously overlap between those two things is possible.
There is often a fine line between crime, commerce and even altruism. It is a shame that western society has been perhaps a little too effective at separating these concepts. The very same contract could be any of them in different contexts:

"Party A pays 1 Pound Sterling for the item owned by Party B"

Crime: Party A blackmails Party B into selling them the item at a discount

Commerce: Party B offers the discount to entice Party A to try the item out, so that they can sell more at full price in the future

Altruism: Party B wants to give the item to a good home rather than destroying it (if that would cost them, then it's even mutually beneficial altruism from both parties)

Clearly it is the context about how the contract was made that distinguishes the situations. It would be a mistake to try to classify every possible contract as legitimate based on its semantics alone.
