On the contrary, social media is a huge target for propaganda

Special interest groups have been around forever (see Cryptome's article "The Gentleperson's Guide to Forum Spies" which outlines some useful tactics). These groups still exist (eg: the JIDF, or ShareBlue in whatever name it's calling itself these days, to name a couple)

Platforms themselves also engage in tactics such as shadowbanning its users (Reddit and Twitter were both in the news for this at least a few times), or using a curation algorithm to show you what it thinks is relevant (Facebook's wall, or YouTube comments/chat being shuffled rather than showing activity chronologically to discourage discussion and to more easily hide censored comments). The idea that social media platforms are not one-way is an illusion

In short, the people who you're talking to are not always real people. Some of the discussions you're trying to have might be getting silenced without you knowing. And the facts you read from a given source could have been invented. The Fediverse isn't exempt from these problems
for sure, EV's are becoming victims of their own success.

As someone who's spent decades matching biz with gear, my guidance to every client:

Never buy HP.

At best it's a waste of you time and funds. More likely it's a costly waste of your time and funds.
My work rents Ricoh's, thousands of huge ones. It's not a bad model for them. Though part of it is the usual finance trick, moving capex to opex. They'd probably pay less if they just bought them. But finance guys just loooove reducing capex.

As a consumer I'd never go for this trap though. I just have a cheap brother laser.
You could subtract 365.25 days, but then you're left with a new problem: just because you can amortize a leap day over four years doesn't mean that you get an extra 6 hours each year.
I'm always careful to dump the bash history as soon as I get access to a machine involved in a legacy project.
Historically it was pure glass but modern retro recreations usually adds that plastic cap, pusher rod and a plastic wrapper for easier manufacturing as well as for corporate liabilities. Those aren't technically necessary.
Aren't NK shells notoriously unreliable and have large rates of duds?
Well, save for the break room if you're an employer. Any form of surveillance of a break room by the employer opens you up to litigation afaik. If not legally, at least ethically.
> The All-In-Plan privacy policy also says that HP may “transfer information about you to advertising partners” so that they can "recognize your devices," perform targeted advertising, and, potentially, "combine information about you with information from other companies in data sharing cooperatives" that HP participates in. The policy says that users can opt out of sharing personal data.

This is creepy as hell. Everyone knows social media sites are spying on them, but a printer is just hardware you pay for. The real value here is probably that it will slip under people’s radar.
If you look at the map of charging locations that are enabled for Ford as of today, you can tell that there is really very little limit being placed. The map is effectively most of the supercharging locations.

The algorithm seems to be simply which stations can transition to NACS protocol.

Malls are leasing land mostly for rent. Some are obviously more enthusiastic about it than others. Some chargers are off in the corner, out of the way. Some are front and center, placed so that the drivers can have easy access to the mall. Ford is brilliant to partner with Tesla, because the existing fleet of chargers suck, and Tesla's doesn't suck. They certainly have a contract with Tesla that assures a certain lenth of time for reliable service (e.g. Tesla won't cut off Ford drivers or do wild pricing to punish them). Tesla wants more customers - car or energy customers, doesn't matter. So seems like a win-win all around. Unclear why this is bad for Ford or Tesla.

The loser here might be the Tesla drivers, who now need to compete for space with the Ford drivers, especially since the Ford cars don't charge quite as fast as the Teslas do, and there is some friction due to the position of the charge socket.

But in the end, the increased revenue for Tesla will allow Tesla to build more chargers, which is what Tesla drivers have been enjoying anyway. So maybe ultimately it is better for everyone. Everyone, that is, except for the oil company executives.

I used to think so, but then I upgraded to Windows 11 and found no driver for the printer.
SuSE for me (well, actually, FreeBSD in between, and MacOS the whole time). But same difference.
I’m fairly certain that the plan is to jettison X before next RHEL release. So if your cases are not resolved, and we’re looking at decades by now, then it’s going to get “interesting” at that point.

So they make Gnome X-less, then debian will incorporate that, then other DEs will get less attention, etc… It will go downhill fast from there on.

> * developers not appreciating the fact they are in a much very different (worse) situation than original creators of the previous version. The creators of the previous version had time to build the system and then slowly evolve it. But the current team has typically a short time horizon to replicate ALL of it.

On the other hand, developers writing the new system have the major benefit that the requirements are known. Second system effect is real, but if you can avoid it, and focus on addressing the real requirements (as determined by the lived experience of the first system), you can get something good. Sometimes, something really good, if the old system was built on the wrong abstractions, and the new system has better fitting abstractions.

Of course, if you don't actually know what the current system is doing, you're not really in a better place to design the second system.
This is just silly. You're supposed to sell SOFTWARE for a monthly fee, without which the printer is inoperable.

Yeah, you may be right... but I always see nostalgia discussions about how it would be to have a distraction free audio player with iPod features and size...

So there would be definetely a market in my opinion :-) And since there are modern Android High Res DAP[1] devices like:

HiBy M300
Sony A306
Astell & Kern
Shanling M3

I just don't understand why they are ONLY focusing on bulky android stuff. Maybe to support Spotify, Audible and Quboz.

Yes, they’re native in Edge and superior to any of the extension-based implementations in Firefox (and FF has no native vertical tabs). Floorp is a pretty good FF fork that has better vertical tabs, but they’re still not as clean and stable as Edge.

Every word of that is painful to type but no less true.
I can also never remember if "leap year" means 29 days or 28 days, and which one is normal. I probably checked that twelve times this week. And I was mildly surprised when I noticed that March 1 was Friday and not Thursday...

I'm not part of any group, much less one that 'froths' unless you're talking about frothing milk, in which case, yes, I am very much a part of the milk frother's group, that shit's delicious. That toungue in cheek answer is all you deserve, being that HN users like you are a big problem, ie, ones that assume liberally about other users. We'll see if you're in the worst of the worst camp if you fail to recant your assumption.

You're using Fedora, which, they've patched up their flavor of KDE pretty well to work with Wayland/Nividia. I don't use Fedora, and I don't really like Fedora so switching isn't something I'm personally interested in, and the easy KDE installs I have access to through my distros of choice don't support Wayland/Nvidia well, but work fine with x11.

And "x11 is fine" is a part of the discussion that, I don't see come up nearly enough in the "use wayland/don't use wayland" discussions online. What exactly do you get out of using wayland? The answer is "nothing worth more than a bugfree experience". Objectively.

And don't get me wrong, I'm rooting for wayland, I get the benefits full well, and I don't think I'm rooting in vain, it'll get there. I also accept that "getting there" is going to involve pushing it into distros before it's really ready in order to generate bug reports. Debian handles this currently by defaulting to wayland where it can, and allowing for an easy way back to x11 if needed. I think that's reasonable enough. I also think debian should have had it defaulted the other way around for another year or two but, I'm far from 'frothing' about it.

All that to say, wayland's not ready for prod. X11 is fine, and will continue to be fine until wayland is ready for prod, and like many things in the linux space, it is indeed better to wait until then unless you have an actual need that can't be satisfied by x11.
Thanks for replying, sounds like what you're doing is pretty cool.

Did you publish short stories on KDP as well or did you wait until you had longer pieces to publish?
> the real job in cases like this is to promote the show

What, the piano show he performs? Why would that be the pianist's job? Wouldn't that be the venue's responsibility?

Edit: I had to look him up. Quote Wikipedia:

> Igor Levit is a Russian-German pianist who focuses on the works of Bach, Beethoven, and Liszt. He is also a professor at the Musikhochschule Hannover.

So it's not like he's taking gigs in dive bars. Do renowned classical musicians typically shoulder the burden of promoting their own performances... through radio interviews?
How about this scenario: In 20 years, this treatment is standard, but there's a catch: it's bundled with a wider behavioral modification treatment protocol, whereby they first reduce the cravings for drugs and alcohol, then they start showing you anti-establishment imagery, and zap the parts of your brain that respond to it.

In fact the second treatment is also standard issue for all those who are diagnosed with oppositionism, a growing mental health disorder characterized by symptoms such as distrusting government authorities and forbes 500 companies. Treatments show a 90% reduction of symptoms and improving quality of life, for example they no longer clash with authorities or make hate statements as defined by the patriot act II of 2028.

Obviously an exaggeration, but there is a real concern. The line is blurry and will be crossed if we let it happen. Taking intravenous drugs for 20 years does some serious damage. It's nice if we develop a treatment for it, but it also shifts the focus away from prevention. People shouldn't be reaching that point, and wouldn't if we were acting on it.
I'm surprised they don't have automated degradation (or at least the article implies that it must be operator initiated).

We built a similar tool at Netflix but the degradations could be both manual and automatic.

You are right. But IMO you're still missing his main point. His thesis is in that case, to rewrite ONLY THE REALLY BAD CODE.

There is not team that is 100% bad so you don't need a full rewrite of 100% of the code base.

I'm just waiting for printer companies to start selling the content of what you're printing to companies for AI training.
Dog whistling is like sealioning. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it's the least worrisome and bothering thing on the Internet.

If someone is dog whistling they are effectively conceding the argument because they're too ashamed to make the case plainly. Just take the W. The alternative is to explain to someone (and some hypothetical audience) that you you know what's going on inside someone's mind better then they do.

And again - there are people who will literally say they are Nazi's. There are people who will make not dog whistle or beat around the bush argument but straight up I am not ashamed to say arguments for awful things.

If you like Foundation and disagree with the arguments that it's not good then engage the argument made - just saying that you think there's an unstated argument and you'd like to engage with that particular one doesn't really get you anywhere.
You're better off printing at Kinko's at those prices.
Pandas CI broke today because of the leap day and testing for datetimes. Pretty similar story to the other Python examples.
> On the one hand I imagine that Russian and Arabic viewers would find inclusions from their languages very distracting, but then the story is so clearly about Americans and Russians squabbling over colonized Arabic territory

It isn't, though between the time it was conceived and written and when it became popular things the world situation had evolved so that became a popular interpretation.
Occasionally, but less often than one could imagine! About a dozen times in my life.

Whenever February 29 wasn’t present as an option, the frontend was at fault, so I could set the right <input> value in the inspector as a workaround.

Other times February 29 was present as an option, only to be saved as February 28. Never March 1, which I’d say would be more coherent.
Actually it's >= $36/page if you pick the plan and print one or no pages. I'd say most people don't have a predictable printing volume and they're just praying on that. It's corporate madness they would be willing to burn their brand over this.

I had bought in to their $20 printer with free printing for life up to like 10 pages a month they offered years back. The printer took forever to setup, the cartridge never worked the month after (the ink dried perhaps?) and eventually they reneged on the deal altogether. The experience was deeply frustrating. Then I bought a $350 Brother printer. Worked right out of the box, never dealt with drivers and anything of the sort, prints effortlessly from my phone. I've had reliable printing for years and I'll never look back.

It makes sense for business (I don't know if the price is competitive), if I had some moderate amount of printing to do I can see an "as a service" model making sense.

As a home user I print < 5 times a year. I'm sure some print more but how much can it be. Do schools still ask kids to hand in printer assignments?

What would interest me is a simple way to print something and either get it in the mail the next day or in some pickup box. I'm guessing that exists and I'll have to explore it once my 15 year old toner cartridge finally runs out.
I host a Navidrome music server at home. I can access my personal music collection from anywhere in the world, privately and self-sovereignly and I don't have to decide what music to take with me anymore.

I'm very nostalgic for the iPod days but it's just a bygone era. Us music-lovers and audiophiles have upgraded our game.

I am due an upgrade around 5000 time...but I care less about speed and more about vram (gamer+llm enthusiast).

Happy to play nvidia's pricing game, but they've got to come to the party with substantially more vram

Kinda like how there's ads on the home screen of certain products, but other companies may opt to forgo them for a more premium experience that keeps customers coming back and paying them long-term subscription fees?

Money was always the objective, hell it's even their legal duty, and shareholders could sue if you claimed otherwise.

Some companies just choose to look further than the next quarter ahead with their plan to get that money.

> The law of averages says there are between just 1.2 and 1.6 people sitting in most cars daily, with the average distance covered hovering around the 20-mile mark.

Sure but two days a week I need to transport 3-4 people at once, once a month I need to travel 30+ miles to visit relatives, and a couple times a year I need to travel 200+ miles for a road trip. Would it really be better if I owned two cars?

EDIT: Personally, I think this solution (micro cars) is less optimal than owning larger cars (for infrequent, one-off trips) + better public transportation (for frequent, predictable trips).
They damaged the illusion of the "B" in "BDFL" with their changes in 19. Open-Source programmers like to believe that their toolchains and whatnot are egalitarian, and treat everyone as equals. Many accept the idea that the STDlib will be "more special," because its included in every copy of the language. This pill is made easy to swallow by the idea that your code, for your tool or library or whatever else, can be just as powerful as a built-in bit of code.

Elm's maintaners decided to break this. They created what amounts to a caste system for code. If your code was blessed, then it got all sorts of extra abilities not granted to un-blessed code. And the sole authority on blessing was the cadre of developers.

Now, as to why they did this is a different discussion. There are good and bad arguments on both side. But as to why it comes up all the time? Ego
Seems like a strange day for something to start, and it has nothing to do with leap years. Starting something on a Thursday seems odd. Starting something major and new like this not on a 1st seems odd. It just so happens to also be a leap day, but starting something on the last day of the month seems odd.
This makes sense, since if all the orbit numbers were even the ratio could be expressed in simpler terms.

Thank you! We're aiming to build a "minimally complete" tool, and it's a delicate balancing act.

The app is responsive so you can actually use Flat on mobile, it's just not a great UX IMO. We're planning on building native apps in the future. If you give it a try on mobile we'd love to get your feedback on how to improve that experience.
Tangara is already linked in [5]. To bulky for me.

I also modded an iPod Classic 2009 with iFlash Quad, 512GB storage (it could handle more but the original software can't) and 2000mah battery, which results in >60h playback time.

All great, two minor problems: A bit too bulky and Earphone remote support lacks rewind and fast forward :-/ next / prev / volume do work, but I need the rewind for my audio book collection.
Interesting experience. For anyone considering switching jobs because they were in your situation, here is my survival guide of doing jack shit as a software developer:

- set medium/low expectation. To that effect don't work more than 5-6 hours out of your 6-7 hours day. This way you'll always have capacity to work more dor a rush and may be priced for that; conversely if you're always working at fill capacity and for some reason you can't deliver be you'll be criticized for it and your previous hard work will go unnoticed. Of course deliver acceptable output, preferably just above the bare minimum to keep the job.

- learn to shift blame. The CI is slow, code is crap, etc. Sugar-coat it with ideas for improvements. Those will realistically never happen but you'll pass as a bit more positive while the blame can be shift to the people making the decision not to improve things.

- know the laws applicable to you, and to businesses. Whoever has knowledge has an edge, and the HR department sure know a lot. Check primary and secondary sources. It's not because someone or the company say something that it's true, and some threat are simply inapplicables and bet on worker's lack of knowledge.
