Profoundly ugly. But these fancy watches have moved into speculative investment territory, like sneakers or bitcoin. I get the feeling that patek is trying to reel in rubes with money that think that they can make money by buying and reselling one of these, instead of buying a fancy watch for being a watch.

Patek make beautiful watches, that run for decades, so its especially sad to see them chasing ugly bucks like this. Oh well.
Part of what was being said though, is that people will often buy a Submariner as a status symbol, yet won't even understand how the functions on it work, and don't go diving anyway. So it's a lot like wearing an expensive brand label on a cheap tee-shirt, in that the people who know... know that the person is pretending to be someone they aren't.

Nouveau riche are notorious for buying things that they can't really use the way they were built to be used, and often wouldn't know how to use them when given the opportunity.

That's the disdain being mentioned. It's not being snobby. It's recognizing people with fake status symbols.

If your story to be told is about stacking girls, then Mustang it is. That's being honest.

Quitting could be individually rational for you, but collectively it leaves us with a public square dominated by bullies.
I was researching a brother laser recently and there were a shitload reports of the printer crapping out with non original toner after a power outtage. Also if you were buying non original toner you had to transfer your drm chip to the new toner.

Hopefully they can begin tackling the strikingly regressive changes silently introduced to ChatGPT4 recently. Whether it’s a cumulative effect of tacking on more guardrails and nerfing jailbreaks making it stupid or explicit cost reduction by limiting compute power I’m not sure.

Needing to pretend you’re an emotionally distressed arthritic paraplegic with bad eyesight and an important deadline just to get it to perform tasks to the same level of detail and accuracy it did a month ago is getting old quickly.

Personally, I'm not a fan of key-bindings of the form <modifier sequence>-<some symbol that requires a shift key>. That said, what I find intriguing about including the Transient package in Emacs is the potential for supporting menu-driven Transient interfaces to existing commands in a way that doesn't break their default behavior. Such future Transient menus could be shipped as a default and obviate the need to learn complex key bindings.
My ebike is governored to 28mph, some scooter's have geofenced top speeds. Yet a full car can drive thru a parking lot or residential street with highway speed potential.
I also ask myself: why isn't the pin setter machine always completely powered off when any maintenance is done? If this does not suffice, add a photoelectric barrier that immediately cuts the power of the pin setter machine if it is crossed by some maintenance personal.
I remain infuriated that I cannot purchase a roll of ascorbic-acid based thermal paper that is the width of either US letter or A4, and perforated at the respective appropriate height.

Thermal printers have far fewer moving parts, no non-paper consumable, barely any maintenance duty, and much simpler construction. By extension, they are much more compact, capable of going long periods of not operating without issue, and are just obviously easier to manage. For most of my purposes in-printing, the negatives of thermal paper (namely, that it will warp with significant temperature fluctuation) are irrelevant; and the negative of ascorbic acid thermal paper specifically (that it's a bit yellow) is wildly outweighed by the benefit that it's dramatically less environmentally worrisome than the phenol-based options which are more common (both to the people handling it and everything else that exists).

I looked into this a while ago, and I'm pretty sure I could buy one thermal printer, with maybe 10 rolls of letter and 10 rolls of A4, and probably be set for my printing needs for the rest of my life (with occasional use of a print shop or library for in-color things or larger prints, etc.). And yet, no one makes ascorbic acid thermal paper in this form factor. It makes perfect sense that they would aim for receipt rolls first (because that's where it'll have the greatest societal impact and safety benefit, and unsurprisingly market), but please! This seems like such a no-brainer to me…

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were such great ideas; they were almost too true from the beginning announcements.
But between slow adoption, weird differences of implementation, and automakers realizing they are missing out on important (tracking/data aggregation) touch points, we are headed back to where we started.
Right away it misses the comedic potential of handling the ringing of the door bell.

I think we are well past the curve on the diffusion of innovation chart on this feature. It’s expected behavior that if a modal is focused and the background is blurred that clicking on the background will close the modal (or initiate close).

You can see this for yourself by using a heat-map of your users mouse movement and positioning. Note how many try to close with clicking the background.

At least in California my experience has been that Bird was doomed after the handicapables decided it was an issue. Great service, very convenient, good density, etc. Then a bunch of regulations passed limiting them to certain parking zones to solve some issue for the handicapped community and now they're basically worthless in terms of convenience. I mean the streets are littered with needles, tents and homeless but god forbid we leave something useful on them.
Interesting. I didn't realise that Chinese knockoffs of HP printers were even a thing.

Any idea if they can print without having internet connectivity?

> More generally, it's weird that scooter companies are liable - legally or de facto - for such behavior at all. If I get a rental car from Hertz or similar and then park illegally, nobody claims this means Hertz should get a ticket or be shut down. Why are scooters different?

Scooters are different because them being littered all over public spaces is absolutely intrinsic to these companies' value proposition and business model in a way that it absolutely is not for Hertz or similar.
Yes, agreed. I used them earlier and the examples on the page use alpine, but the "copy code" doesn't have it. It's actually easier to just inspect/view source and take what they did from the examples than try to write your own.

> Instant ink is still well worth it for people like me who print < 1000 pages per year, sometimes from my phone.

I fall into this bucket, but it would never occur to me that I should want to sign up for a service that charges me per page printed. I feel like it would have negligible benefits over paying for ink as I use it, and it would make me think about whether/how much I need to print something every time I go to print. Most importantly, it would make me uncomfortable because I'd be at the mercy of unilateral price increases, like this one.

What sold you on the service? Was it when you bought a new printer that you signed up, or when you went to buy more ink/toner?

That resonance can be a defining element depending on the intent; the butteryness of the Rhodes style electric piano is due to individual pickups on each note picking up neighboring note resonance.

All debt is credit. The only differences are who it is going to, and when.

So what should our goals be?

Less code means fewer features, which can make the UX path longer. More code means more features, which can make the UX path more confusing and strenuous. There is some kind of balance to be struck. The goal is for every UX path to be flexible and easy. Is that even possible? Can we have our cake and eat it, too?

> Adding new assumptions increases debt

There's the word I have been thinking about all week: "assumption". It's a tricky little bastard, and it really deserves more focus than it has any right to.

You see, that word is the heart of our problem. It's not the amount of code you write, the features you add, the way you design your UI/UX, or even how flexible your user configuration is. It's the assumptions themselves.

Assumptions are walls. Once an assumption has been added, it’s there to stay. It's easy to move an assumption around. Too easy! So easy that you move it without even knowing; but it is still there, lurking. No matter how hard you try to get rid of it, or to get around it, the assumption is guaranteed to stand in your path. Your only hope is that the assumption is there to guide you; its only other option is to guard you.

So what can we do about it? We can not. No need to get rid of something you never made in the first place, right?

But how do you make software that is unassuming? How can you make a tool without catering that tool to its intended work? How can you make a path without a destination?

There's something we have gotten notoriously used to as software engineers: a finished product. After all, what else would an engineer strive to make?

Finished products are things. Programs aren't. Programs are systems! Programs are stories. What kind of system is ever finished? I can only think of one: a dead one. At the end of its life, a system becomes cold, hard, sturdy, and complete; and the story meets its end. How did we ever convince ourselves that that is a worthy goal for software?

I'll tell you how: we assumed. That assumption has been lurking at the heart of software design ever since, and all we can do now is move it. It's time to start over.

---

This is where I answer my very first question: who? Who designs the software? Don't assume it's the engineer's job: it's the user's turn now.

The next question is, when? When does the user design their software? When they use it. Any time before that would make them an engineer.

What should our goals be? That's the best part! The user already knows her goal. That makes her precisely the right man for the job.

---

If you followed any of my rambling so far, you are probably asking yourself the most important question, "What could this possibly look like?" That's a good question. I have something really close to a coherent idea. If you would like to hear about it, feel free to ask.
This looks really useful! I wonder if it's easy to fork it to make game design icons.
Are you one of those managers who insist on talking to me twice every day: "What are you doing right now?". Maybe treat people like grownups, not toddlers at least sometimes.
But what if you make the punishment for robbing harsher than murder? Maybe people start killing you after robbing you to get a lesser sentence. It happens in some parts of the world, if they accidentally hit you with their car they'll run over you again to finish the job because if you sue or go after them it'll be real bad.
Point is we have to be careful about how we regulate things or we can shift things in an even worse direction.
Yea, that doesn’t make much sense to me either. Maybe they should go to whatever Emacs buffer they have open and type `C-h B` to dump out the entire list of keybindings available in that buffer. That will probably disabuse them of the notion that the user has to personally invent all of them. Mine is 2.4k lines long! And that’s just for the modes that I happen to be using for that particular JSON file; many of the key bindings in a C++ or Rust file would be similar, but so many would be completely different.
There’s a huge difference between the impact of a poorly-parked scooter and a well-parked scooter. If the thing is out of the way there’s no problem.
Maybe and it will be the default. But since this is a UI kit, I will expose an option to turn it off if the developer prefers that in general or in a specific context.

One of my printers is an inkjet. I used it so infrequently that the ink dried up in between uses and I’d end up wasting it all doing print head cleaning. A subscription service seems like it would have been beneficial for me, but I inserted switched to a laser printer. I do not regret that decision, yet.
Custom built wooden watch - all wood, gears, complications, etc.

Some of the printers are very basic, more like a reprap 3d printer. Also they will be designed to work in factories, too. So I'd be pretty optimistic that you can buy models with SD card slot.

That said, I wonder if US-made printers phoning home is truly that much better than Chinese-made printers phoning home ...

> If I get a rental car from Hertz or similar and then park illegally, nobody claims this means Hertz should get a ticket or be shut down. Why are scooters different?

First, businesses which attract antisocial asshole clients do get extra scrutiny and burdensome regulation; the classic example is bars.

Second, the difference between Hertz and Bird is the rate and visibility of antisocial behavior. The overwhelming majority of Hertz clients park their rentals no differently than any ordinary car driver; and a Hertz rental parked illegally is hard to distinguish at a distance from any other car. By contrast, a very large fraction of rental electric scooters appear to be parked illegally, and they are very visible (due to the color scheme, and because privately owned electric scooters are not very common in most parts of the US and never get dumped in the middle of a road, lest they get vandalized or stolen).
It's against the Rolex Authorized Dealer terms. Authorized Dealers are supposed to sell the watches retail only. It not being illegal doesn't have much to do with it.
