Yes, I did get the impression of incompetence rather than cheating so I didn't chargeback. There was no cancellation button at the time. That made me email you a request, which got fumbled repeatedly.

I left because OctoPrint is redundant with Bambu Studio/Handy. Your service was working fine. But for me discovering that a subscription service doesn't have an automated cancellation process is enough for me to leave.
Yes. They're clearly different things.

Which of these aspects offers a functional improvement in this application?

("Feels janky" doesn't quite cut the mustard, I don't think.)
yes, fc is from ksh

going to a particular column number is not useful to me because my commands are not on punched cards with column numbers printed on them. going to a particular piece of text is, and ^r or ^s gets me there with readline (in vi mode or emacs mode). i don't want to mentally count how many characters are on the line before the place i want to go; i have a computer to do that for me

vi movement by words is useful though, and slightly easier than emacs alt-f and alt-b

The security theater of checking ID does nothing to stop this. What's your point?
The cities in question are really small towns: West Miami is about 7000 people, per the article. That makes the statistics a little bit less astonishing: these aren't huge towns or cities that are substituting red light tickets for proper local taxes; they're small bedroom communities on busy roads between nearby big cities.
For now yes. There's only 4 people really working on it. But the most difficult part of it was the stream itself with enough performance for video and gaming at a decent fps and I can say that I was able to play civ vi over it so at this point it's the task of cleaning up the way it works.
I've noticed a significant uptick in the number of drivers busting through red lights in my town.

A meta-question for those of us very comfortable composing complex sequences on the command line: when I’m trying to help someone with something, how can I avoid becoming frustrated by their lack of facility - or worse, their lack of interest in obtaining facility, without being an ass and taking over the keyboard? Grumble.
Thanks for pointing this out, I just added the MIT license to the project.

If you're an academic, or want to be taken seriously by other academics (eg you're a self-educated expert) you want to be published in a journal because citations that link back to your blog will get you tagged as a crank - perhaps fairly, perhaps not. If your target audience is open-minded you can compromise by publishing on Arxiv.org or a similar site, but a lot of people will reflexively dismiss your work because it hasn't been through the peer review process.

The idea of peer review is a very sensible one. But (much like search engines) the process can be gamed by unethical actors; and where scarcity (of academic prestige) is enforced, rent-seekers invariably follow. Peer-reviewed journals charge a lot of money to submittants, but they generally don't pay the reviewers any of that. The money mostly goes into 'editing' - which is a little bit of curation and mostly proofreading - and administrative costs.

I don't disagree with the politics here but surely it's hopeless as a legal document.
Actually, TicketMaster was involved in each transaction. Let's revisit the first paragraph: "TicketMaster is taking massive fees each time the same ticket is sold."

I'll lay it out in detail so it's more clear: TicketMaster sold the original ticket to the scalper. Then the scalper listed the ticket on TicketMaster's secondary market. Then I bought the ticket on TicketMaster's secondary market and TicketMaster collected a $50/ticket fee from me. TicketMaster also collected a fee on each ticket the first time TicketMaster sold those tickets to the scalper.

TicketMaster also charges the scalper a fee to list the ticket, so TicketMaster actually made more than the $50/ticket fee that they collected from me.

It's also possible that the ticket was sold on TicketMaster's secondary market several times before I bought it on TicketMaster's secondary market, which would allow TicketMaster to collect many fees on the same ticket.
Customer noncompete is also bad and most of the biggest AI companies are doing it right now. I worry about the impact on medical research.
I'm not sure what the point of your argument is then. Locals can vote for all kinds of things, smart or dumb. They could vote on whether to ban the color purple on storefronts, for instance, though (IMO) it would be a stupid law to pass. This discussion is about AirBnB and housing prices, so just loudly proclaiming "locals can vote for policies they want!" isn't productive here at all. The entire point of this discussion is to argue the merits of these initiatives.
One of the key differences being that physical theft deprives the rightful owner of the property. It's not an analogous crime.
That's may be a good reason.

My phone's default camera app can recognize QR and UPC (and certainly other things; but I have other tools that I usually use when actually-using barcodes so I'm not that familiar with this part of the camera app), but it doesn't seem willing to do anything with PDF417.
> you open a command line

Except Classic Mac OS never had this. You'd sometimes need to do arcane rituals like "re-bless the system folder", but they were entirely GUI-based arcane rituals that involved double-clicking icons, opening and closing windows, and dragging files in and out of folders.
I've not kept statistics, especially that when people purchase they get access to all the OS versions. I'm guessing it's over 50% Windows but Mac is no less than 20% of the purchases. I don't sell my app through the Apple App store - it's just whoever stumbles across my website (I've shared it on Reddit a bunch of times over the years, but not aggressively). I think I mostly got lucky with naming - where "video hub" is close to "porn hub" and people find it unintentionally :)
For text documents with line drawings? For sure, absolutely -- especially when it's JBIG compression like fax machines use (or even Group 4 before that).

If it's a full scale photograph full of grayscales that's been dithered, then it's a harder comparison to make. Because obviously a ton of useful detail is lost in the dithering, in a way that isn't with lines and letterforms. So the comparison would really have to be with a terrible, blocky JPEG super-compressed file. In theory the JPEG should win.
Most people you know who are good at remembering things like your kids names are usually just good at journaling.

I recommend journaling your conversations . If your friend tells you his kids got sick, write it down so you can ask him about how they're doing the next time.

Your friends and family are many times more important than your bills and appointments, so treat them with the requisite level of attention.

i agree about ansi sequences. even that doesn't go far enough, though: we should probably be moving past character-cell terminals to something better so we can have things like proportional fonts, multiple font sizes, properly spaced borders, and rounded corners

Seriously, conda can be pretty annoying for packagers. I don't like the Jinja configuration stuff, I don't like the chaotic build output (see above), sometimes libraries are leaking in from the system, for some undocumented issues it takes ages to search for an answer.

One everything is set up, things tend to work, apart from the slow solver. I also do not like the way that conda embeds itself in the Windows installation.

It is a bit overhyped, like all things in the "scientific" ecosystem.
How is this done for js?
I agree. I was more referring to BART, Caltrain, AC Transit etc that brings people in. Considering the fact that majority of the office workers live outside the city, that public transportation needs to be affordable. And safe.

!?!?, two sets of !? for two different levels, one is there being precious little air between what I said and what you said. I frankly don't see any at all, is the idea that saying it comes from finance / investing is misleading??

The other is for the personal attack via mindreading.
how is this not the same as 8 people trying to find airline tickets for everyone? you can buy tickets for different passengers. some airlines/travel agencies even allow for name change for a fee.
>> Everyone deserves to get paid for their work. Once.

I'll restore the context you omitted.

>> Past that requires a bargain with the public.

After I write code, my client pays me as agreed and I have received 100% of what I am entitled to. That's how labor and wages work.

Someone else can write the same code and sell that labor to their clients and get the same result. This is good and holy and what is right with the world.

If I want to write code and deny every other person possible their right to develop and deploy that tool - Ok, well, there's a good chance I can't.

The plain and obvious nature of computer instructions puts a lot of healthy limits on whether code can be copyrighted. Not enough and like everything tied to copyright it's a convoluted mess of industry-built pitfalls.

But say I work all that out. If I want to force the public to gift me the protection I get - by denying the public their natural right - I have to enter into a bargain with the public.

As far as it relies on purchased copyright law, it will be a corrupt bargain. But the bargain does have to exist.

Those aren't really contradictory. You can be a "small bedroom community" but still be "substituting red light tickets for proper local taxes".

One big warning with this is that if you get into an accident and the doctors need to remove your ring, they're going to have a very hard time cutting stainless steel off your finger.

I saw a video of someone making a ring out of polycrystalline diamond and…if that gets stuck for some reason, it's never coming off.
If you are going to get rings, for the love of humanity consider getting moissanite instead of diamond. Diamonds aren't worth what you have to pay for them (try re-selling a diamond), and have a long history of BS associated with them.

If you are doing it because of the long history of giving diamonds, remember that the popularity of giving diamond engagement rings is younger than either US presidential candidate. :-)
Right. It confused me but re-reading PG's post he's certainly making that distinction. Yeah- I have seen the bash your head against a wall and not take any input kind of stubborn.
Civil forfeiture (and the police corruption it incentivizes) is indeed a huge issue. But I have a hard time getting similarly riled up about red light cameras (or speed cameras): the negative position here is that municipalities should just roll over when drivers want to drive dangerously on their roads, which doesn't seem right.

(From one perspective, these kind of cameras prevent corruption: automated enforcement means fewer bored local cops trying to steal your money or pin whatever crime they can think of on you as you drive.)
I thought that the hardcore part is taking the data from the switch to account for the network latency.
What are you doing for audio? That's been my big stumbling block when trying to use a newer AppleTV with an older TV and 5.1-channel amp. I've tried several HDMI audio extractors and found them all to be pretty terrible.
> Let's face it, the real problem with ticket sales is scalping. OP may not like Ticketmaster, and doesn't want to install the app, but the majority of fans don't have a problem with that. The real problem for most fans are the scalpers who push prices out of their budget.

No, the problem is artists wanting to falsely advertise low prices, and using gimmicks like first-come-first-served ticket sales and "scalpers" (usually fake, sometimes hired by the artists themselves) to do it, and the "fans" buying into this whole false narrative. If artists would honestly sell, and fans would honestly buy, at the actual prices, then the whole kabuki play of "evil scalpers" could be avoided.
No kidding. The article content really doesn't support the title at all.

A town of 7000 people issued 3000 citations in a year, but the town itself has a major road in it connection other larger towns.

Even given that, it isn't the largest source of income for the city (property taxes are #1).

There's an easy way that the average person can fix this problem: stop driving through red lights.

I did a similar thing using some titanium out of the scrap bin. (Yes, I know that it will be nearly impossibly to cut off in an emergency, but we just take them off before we go climb or do other dangerous stuff.) It’s been 15 years and they still look great. I left the tool marks on them, I liked how it looked like it was machined.

You mean like settling trades every 0.25 seconds or something like that? Wouldn't there be a queue of trades piling up every 0.25 seconds, incentivizing maximum speed anyway?

Adding onto the things that other people said: Gradle is an extremely powerful build tool. It has three tiered caching (project wide, machine wide, remote, with fallbacks), complex DAG resolution, and in general is just really good at building jvm stuff. It can handle nearly every weird way that you could possibly dream of to structure your project. It’s generally not super buggy. It’s generally pretty fast if you know what you are doing. There are years and years of optimizations built into it. It is the tool to build enterprise jvm code. If you go to a jvm shop at an adult company that isn’t stuck in 2006, they are using Gradle.

The downside is that it is insanely complex, and nearly impenetrable for newbies. It’s also for the same reason pretty Perl-like (a “write-only” language)

Most of the new policies and court decisions, including the one I linked in my reply, have been disjoint with the will of the people. I don't see how your point about shifting sentiment (which I very much agree with) means we'll see any sort of regulatory action from the federal government, especially in the US. Maybe in the EU, someday, after most of the damage has been done?

Populism. Probably the fascist right-wing kind, but I expect some form of populism. Related, if we're talking about a 20 year time horizon, I'm genuinely unsure if society will still exist in any recognizable fashion at the rate we're going...

This is terrible - right now the random 17 year old middle-class kid at least has a small chance of getting a somewhat reasonably priced ticket to a popular show. In your model, they have zero chance.

Auction models are good for price discovery but this isn’t a price discovery problem, it is a supply problem. Believe it or not, artists don’t always want to maximize revenue from a ticket, they want fans from lower income brackets to be able to attend as well.
They do not need to know my address, my phone number, credit card number or any of the other BS that "they need" including my name. Their website has a ton of trackers uBlock blocks, so their website is trying to collect even more data than what their "forms" request.
In New Jersey a great example of this are the mobile DMV units... extremely small towns with no major highways invite the DMV unit in once a month to setup checkpoints to check car inspection stickers on local roads.. which then leads to full blown police stops and tickets for other violations. It's a huge monetary boon for the municipal budget for a town that other wise doesn't have an opportunity to pull cars over. It's all about the money and definitely not about public safety or emissions.
Your analysis seems to assume that the only form of motivation is external. By this logic, persistent/obstinant people do things because they hope for some external reward (e.g., praise, recognition, fame, possibly financial compensation). The difference is merely at the granularity of the goal this is attached to.

My experience is that the persistent people I know have at least some degree (and often a large degree) of internal motivation. They do things because the process of problem solving is rewarding in and of itself, and/or they have some intrinsic motivation about solving the problem. They are not out to please anyone else except themselves.

Maybe no one is purely 100% internally motivated. But my experience is that the more persistent people I know generally have a higher percentage of internal motivation. In contrast the people who give up more easily generally have a lower percentage of internal motivation; if they really only care about the external reward, it often turns out there are lots of ways to do that, and many are shorter than solving "hard" problems.

I passed through a town in Ohio and was cited to pay or appear to a mayors court. I looked it up and it was literally the mayor's court, and he was required to have something like one day of training.

Immediately decided they'd probably just arrest me on some bullshit upon arriving and if not in a town of 100 or whatever there was no use arguing so I just paid.

The map of the town was like one Podunk neighborhood plus like a 100 ft stretch of state highway gerrymandered in for ticket revenue.
For values of "They can handle it" equal to about 30,000 deaths a year in the US alone, yeah, I guess they can handle it.
I have never gone to their website (singular) before and I figured all this out by simply looking at the page for a few seconds. These objections seem ridiculous to me.
Sure. And given that it's Florida, they probably are. But I still think the headline here gives a misleading impression: a town with a small tax base but a busy road is naturally going to get a larger fraction of revenue from a red-light camera than a town with a larger tax base would.
There is an amazing amount of nonsense posted on this thread. I cannot speak for all areas of science, but at least in math and physics the paper copies of most Western research journals were available in central public libraries. That flow of information was bidirectional as works published by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR were translated and published in the US and Europe. There was a considerable effort to translate English language books into Russian and publish them. I cannot vouch for all the publishers, but I know for a fact that at least MIR publisher paid royalties on sales of translated books, although I am sure they did extra printing press runs off the books, so to speak.

These days, at least before the war started... c'mon, you can't be serious.
Dumb question, but what do you do when they go e.g. "oh wow, you remembered/good memory!" to something you wrote a reminder for that they didn't expect you to remember? Nod and pretend it was your memory? Just disregard the comment? Or tell them you wrote it down...? It feels a little bit awkward for people to think you remembered them only to realize you just wrote it down and forgot until your notes reminded you.

Edit: Also, if they never realize what you're doing, then doesn't it become even more awkward when you suddenly forget something that you didn't happen to write down, especially when that thing seems easier to remember than what you normally appeared to? (e.g., "how did he remember the party I was going to a month ago but not the fact that my dad was in the hospital last week??")
