It's just a damn printer.

How could normal people expect that they would be sold such utter garbage?

Especially since older printers have worked just fine.

The only way to expect this is you've experienced it yourself or if you've followed news sites like HN where techies complain about shit like this.

My goal is explicitly to publish, and I have the impression this is the case on a national level.
I believe Duckduckgo wrote some article on the subject (but could not find much with a quick search).
That's fine, I'd say that the parent comment didn't check out the website before arguing over the price. I'd say it's an entirely different service. Great that whatever solution you use works for you, love that. I wanted something more, so I built my solution. I don't think I'll ever get rich, but the cost structure is prohibitive just for myself.

Yeah I gather that is the expectation, but if you are the first to execute an order you will sell that order at the old 100 price before it lowers. You are fighting for making an order before the information spreads to the other bots. (Right?!)

To tie this back to TFA, even before we knew that the Halting problem was uncomputable, we could have defined

f(n) = { 1 if there is a Turing machine with at most n states that solves the Halting problem;
0 otherwise }

and we can easily show that f(n) is computable without proving that the Halting problem is undecideable. Viz., f is either constant 0; or equal to a function of the form

g_k(n) = { 1 if n >= k;
0 if n < k },

and both the constant 0 function, and all the g_k functions, are computable; thus f is computable.
You adapt to deal with particular difficulties. When something new eases your life and eliminates those difficulties without introducing huge additional cognitive load, it does the same for everyone else, rendering your previous adaptation no longer advantageous—enabling competition may, in fact, indirectly threaten whatever you may feel like an island of stability in the chaos of life.

(It’s just one angle of looking at this, of course, it may not always apply, but it could explain counter-intuitive instances of resistance to change.)

Sorry, can you explain this more? I somehow still don't understand.

How is this different from a const object style enum? Or are you more referring to the sum type enum as the better choice here to avoid this.

Generally, if you remove an enum variant, the compiler should warn you if you've used it anywhere else (though of course it can't figure out a dynamic usage)... But this seems like a problem mostly for dynamic code, where you'd probably write some sort of Enum.parse() or Enum.from() static method anyway?

If I'm understanding your comment correctly, the real problem is that when you store the value, remove one, and try to read it back out into the enum it will fail - but in the code I've written so far trying to construct the the enum object almost always consisted of using a function to validate anyway, these days I use zod but before I'd write stuff like:

function isEnum(obj: unknown): obj is Enum {
return obj && typeof obj === 'string' && Object.values(Enum).includes(obj)
}
It's right there in the article: it mentions welding of aluminum foil seals - for helium.

I have also worked with high vacuum in lab exercises. There's a leak finder apparatus using helium because helium creeps through the smallest leaks - but they have to be leaks! Hydrogen just diffuses through anyway, though not quickly through thick metal (I have that from Wikipedia).
The other side of the coin is making an enum and eventually realizing that some of the types can overlap. I prefer the "set of tags" approach due to its flexibility.
The fact is IRB (ethics boards) weren't really a thing until 1974, and even then mostly for human subjects, It wasn't until the 1980s when most places considered mouse research to require an IRB.
Show HN: I made a tool that enumerates all outbound links from a webpage
Thanks. I appreciate your civility.

The lack of clarity is my fault.

I felt Julia was describing a problem that she was having for 15 years to do with editing on the CLI. Then she said "even though I’m a vim user I didn’t really like using it when I tried it."

To me, even still, it seems weird that there is a tool (vi-mode) that solves the problem she seemed to be describing earlier on. I am not denying that she "didn’t really like using it when I tried it".

Not sure that even with this reply I have cleared up my earlier confusion-causing comment. I shall endeavour to refrain from further nonsense in the future.

That's just the usual resource ownership management problem that Rust is supposed to solve.

But a simple templated type like GP proposed does indeed fix the issue discussed here. To access the thing in the first place you need to lock the correct mutex. Looking at Folly::Synchronized, locking doesn't even return the protected item itself directly. In most cases -- unless the bare pointer is needed -- you will access the item through the returned "locked view" object which does the unlocking in its destructor.

Yes there are. Construction equipment manufacturers sometimes buy a worldwide low data rate cellular plan, and give every machine they ship the ability to phone home.

I recall that there was also an e-reader with similar functionality.
No, but that's not a limitation of the LLM technology. Python is imperative and Mathematica is declarative. You could get pretty far, but ultimately you'll run into roadblocks.

Frequencies of Definite Articles in Written vs. Spoken German
What I find extremely annoying is that no one is charge saw this coming. How stupid do you need to be to release an online-only subscription laser printer?

Somewhere in the HP hierarchy reality is removed. I feel like at least one of the lower level people saw this coming. Somewhere in the management layers this became a good idea, an idea completely removed from reality.

The only logic that makes sense is that you have a segment of users that doesn't need to print much, so rather than doing a large upfront purchase, they basically rent a printer, but where is the break even for HP, where is the break even for the customer? When you cancel your subscription does the printer then go back to HP for refurbishment so that another customer can rent it? I doubt it, it becomes e-waste.

The article even says: "To provide our customers with an exceptional printing experience in all office environments, we will no longer offer LaserJet series products with HP+. " So the HP+ didn't provide exceptional printing experiences? I could understand the reasoning that "Some customers purchased an HP product that would not work in their environment, so we're now more clearly communicating the limitations of HP+", but no, they are cancelling it entirely, so it's not about those office environments where always online didn't work. This is an entirely predictably failure of a product, except HP management wasn't smart enough to realise it, because they f-ing priorities are not their customers.
I thought this was a joke at first, but then realized it totally made sense ;)

I'd say we should strive for equal opportunity, not equal outcome. But a long as equal outcome is the goal, it is insanity that a 65/35 ratio is considered a societal emergency that billions of dollars have to be poured into to fix, but a 35/65 ratio is totally fine.

I do trend libertarian so I'd say, spend another few billions to correct the overcorrection of the past decades, so everyone is on the same starting line in the rat race. Then outlaw any gender discrimination in either direction. Remove regulations for equal distribution in boardrooms or politics or whatever. Let people choose what they want, even if you end up with skewed ratios. And if research shows that after a decade, women or men are disadvantaged, apply small corrective action so that opportunity remains the same.
To deal with the tax laws of every country will be a challenge. Unless you stick to one country which would limit your customer base.
> there has not really been a push accepting men as primary caregivers in the family

As a father of one year, I disagree with this. There's been steady progress towards giving men the opportunity to take on caregiving duties compared to a generation ago, for example:

* Plenty of US/UK companies now offer paternity leave of between 12 and 52 weeks.

* I know multiple recent fathers who've used their leave to be primary caregivers for blocks of 6 weeks.

* A surprising number of pubs/restaurants have baby-change tables in the men's toilets.

> the traditional feminine roles does not generate revenue, so why accept men into them?

There's still a struggle for men to take up places in traditionally "feminine" jobs such as midwifery and early childcare. I found a report on this here - https://ilostat.ilo.org/blog/where-women-work-female-dominat.... Some of the statistics are mindblowing - high 90's percentage points for women in midwifery positions. How much is that down to men's career preference vs difficulty of getting in or peer pressure towards more "manly" careers?
when we did a comparison of package managers that lock dependencies, we wrote up some interesting notes at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11537#issuecomm...

Notable omission in pip-tools which many are suggesting here as being simpler: it can't write requirements files for multiple environments/platforms without running it once for each of those environments and having one file for all of them.

We settled on Poetry at the time but it has been quite unstable overall. Not so bad recently but there were a lot of issues/regressions with it over time.

For this reason I am happy to see new takes on package management, hopefully some of these will have clearer wins over the others, where you have to spend ages trying to figure out which one will do what you need.
Targeted to the always online generation that does this automatically, probably. Whips in the soul.
Things that help:

* No anonymous functions/lambdas (unless they're extremely trivial, but then you probably don't need that in a function at all)

* Avoid recursion

* Functions do one simple thing and return

* Only one return at the end of the function body

* No uncaught exceptions

* Functions that "await" and functions that "compute" are separate ones

* Avoid 3rd party libraries unless it is absolutely necessary

* Write code for a single thread model, scale horizontally with cluster, things like pm2 or just running several node processes

Never had to write them down, tbh, there's definitely many more. This could apply to every language, though, not just JS. You could borrow some practices from realtime computing, as well.

If you do most of these things, debugging with console.trace is straightforward. You can also use one of the flamegraph tools out there for the profiling part.

They only thing you can't control (but you can examine to some extent) is the GC, but in practice that's never been an issue for me since the GC that comes with V8 is really good.

I agree with most of your points up to this:

>likely to forever condemning it to a niche.

The context within which we build visual programming languages needs to change in order for it to stop being a niche. As you point out, the alternative is [much] harder [today]. But I think that VR, as an example, will be forced to solve a lot of difficult UX problems if VR is to progress beyond a niche. And once those problems have found satisfying solutions the context for building nice visual programming languages will likely also have improved significantly.

This sounds like a prime example for arguing that our current international legal system is broken. The "territory" in question is a tiny, isolated island - which is a US/UK military base. The people are refugees from a vastly larger island, a thousand-ish miles away. Doubtless the military folks would prefer that civilian authorities quietly take the refugees off their hands, and away from their tiny island base.

But Because Laws, nothing sane is allowed to happen.

And meanwhile, the Britain's just-elected new PM, with a massive majority in the new Parliament, started his legal career as a human rights lawyer.

Barcelona is surprisingly competitive in the tech sector. Primarily foreign companies though.
No. They weren't even in the same category, even the comparison doesn't make sense. In Mesopotamia mathematics seems to have been a tool, a method for business and construction planers to drive certain quantities.

Mathematics to the Greeks was "mathematics" in the sense we understand it today. From a system of axioms they derived a complex system of theorems, which allowed for an abstract description of reality. It was mathematics as a system of truth, which then could be used for other purposes. E.g. with Archimedes who discovered integration, but also was a prolific engineer.

The Greeks were so far ahead of anything the Mesopotamians did, that even the comparison is unfair.

As if printing didn't suck enough already.

There's plenty of innovation left. What about a built-in cutting, binding or folding mechanism?

What about a built-in QR like binary converter for paper backing up of crucial files and some way to feed them back in through ADF scanning?

What about a built-in filter to printer feature of email so things like orders get auto printed? Something that has heat transfer built-in for optional inkless printing? A flatbed that can do UV and IR scanning? Some kind of release mechanism that makes fixing a paper jam trivial?

How about an API with MQTT so you can integrate it in a automated production pipeline much easier.

What about moving beyond the box? Could there be a way to stack the feed vertically and print, also vertically, to conserve space?

Printing as an industry could be blown open to innovation but I guess we can't have nice things
Why not both. If you’re 50x, or even 2x better at anything than average you should probably be hired in a heartbeat
You're right, and I'd add on that monads only need pure and bind (>>=), das it!

pure :: Monad m => a -> M a

(>>=) :: Monad m => M a -> (a -> M b) -> M b

pure is sometimes called return and >>= is sometimes called bind and flat map.

I was unsure that bind was the same as flatmap but it looks like it is.
You are not clear; by "sdboot" do you mean systemd-boot?

The abbreviation is ambiguous. There are other bootloaders called "sdboot" such as this one:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdboot/

And this one:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WiiHacks/comments/glx4dt/sdboot_eve...

Please try to avoid ambiguous abbreviations. If you do mean systemd-boot you only saved 5 letters and could mean at least 3 different tools, or maybe more.
I will translate the doublespeak from redhat, which is similar to how they started to push systemd (really).

> [grub] features create complexity that is difficult to maintain, and that both duplicate and lag behind the Linux kernel while also creating numerous security holes.

No mention of the alternatives. No mention how useful are those features. Handwaiving "security" arguments.

> Loaded by the EFI stub

All the talk about booting the kernel directly is moot, because by this they mean "we will use systemd-boot" ;)

IMHO, this is part of the RH wider push for PKCS11/TPM2/FIDO2 stuff. So it is not really fixing boot loader, as it is standardizing on their bootloader "as the correct one" but using the kernel reputation on the double speak.

Just like they pushed the equivalent of https://www.tenforums.com/attachments/tutorials/195499d15314... as the interface of init. (i'm not salty on systemd, in fact i already use bootd even. but if you cannot see how systemctl is the same UX as that, you are blind)
Also, anything to actually do. Animals go crazy from extreme boredom in the same way that humans do, and in many cases with similar symptoms (self-harm, repetitive behavior, meaningless aggression).

Take exactly the same experiment but add as little as just a bunch of wheels for the mice to run on and I'm certain the results would be healthier.
We are in the process of building those scripts. As we are working with companies for migration we started to improve these scripts to cover more edge cases. These should be out sometime soon.

Otherwise, we have a public API to do CRUD operations for all important entities (issues, labels etc). We are working to get an openAPI spec once that is out we should have all the APIs added to our https://docs.tegon.ai

I was trying to be tongue in the cheek - my point is emphasizing dangers and restricting access can act as a form of marketing.
Thinking about it a bit more, though, it does feel like a hybrid approach is probably better. For dual-booting off local disks and other simple cases, just having the kernel and initramfs alongside other OS options makes a lot of sense, and you can use the UEFI boot menu or something deliberately simple like systemd-boot to select between them for dual-boot or recovery. For more complex cases (where your rootfs is not just something the kernel can mount on its own), instead you basically just want a process for building your initramfs to do that from a config like grub (which is already how a lot of cases like that are solved, anyway), and in extreme cases where you also want to stash a kernel in some other location then you can use kexec from that. But for just a boot menu (which is aready in the minority case and 90% of users in that case need nothing more) it feels even heavier than grub for little benefit.

hey intev,

- Crawlee has out-of-the-box support for headless browser crawling (Playwright). You don't have to install any plugin or set up the middleware.
- Crawlee has a minimalistic & elegant interface - Set up your scraper with fewer than 10 lines of code. You don't have to care about what middleware, settings, and anything are or need to be changed, on the top that we also have templates which makes the learning curve much smaller.
- Complete type hint coverage. Which is something Scrapy hasn't completed yet.
- Based on standard Asyncio. Integrating Scrapy into a classic asyncio app requires integration of Twisted and asyncio. Which is possible, but not easy, and can result in troubles.
There is a way to make the expats become a net positive, but not when they are allowed to go to Lisbon and Porto and wipe out the real estate market for locals.

Likely could've worked if - they had to pay to access health care and other benefits, plus they could only live inwards in places where the population is decreasing like Castelo Branco etc. And if the distortions in the real estate market became too big in any particular place, they would be banned from that district. That would cut down on work-tourist types who just come for the beach and sun, and it would contribute to actual de-desertification of the interior of the country.
Thank you for the links and update, much appreciated :)
There is no reason to use casting to make a ring that looks like the ring in the OP. Pour the metal into an ingot, heat and hammer it (like a blacksmith would) into a long bar. Then heat and bend it into a circle/ring, an then use flux to solder it into one piece which eats its own tail. (Yes I've done this, several times.)
If that's not viable for you, then one of these HP+ printers probably isn't either, even without the subscription. You'd be buying a laser printer or some specialized photo printer.

> Could the P versus NP question itself be NP-hard, and therefore impossible to solve?

Is there a way to formulate or rephrase this such that we could effectively ask this question? I'm thinking like some way of formally encoding the question (does P=NP?) that could be plugged into a turing machine which then computes the answer.
