Well for example layer bonding is better compared to some other materials. It's just that load over time it will creep. And of course shite under temperature.

It can be a fantastic material for some functional parts.

Doesn't everything in GitLab go into a single pipeline? GitHub at least makes splitting massive CI/CD setups easier by allowing you to write them as separate workflows that are separate files.

Congress has a limited amount of time and attention unfortunately, so omnibus bills are very common. That doesn’t invalidate the contained legislature.

I don’t agree with the widespread usage of such “tricks”, but I do understand the harsh reality and limitations of representative democracy.
Hmm - rather than identity, I suspect it was more of a marketing trope.

I associate this genre of photo with the photo-shoots with Gates, Jobs and others. All the interviews and full page ads in the 80s 90s had variations of sitting/lying on desks, hugging CRT monitors or the classic folded-arms lean on a CRT from behind.

I don't recall old-school blogs doing this or really having author photos at all (photos on that bandwidth/hosting?!) but I imagine whenever a blogger was interviewed for print media they would lean on the "computer person" standards.
Bizarre stretch of logic to extract an irony. Meta platforms in particular (facebook and whatsapp) are in many countries an almost exclusive intermediary to any online communication. You are basically incapacitated if you do not use them.

Mostly the US is an outlier. Unfortunately, UK property prices, food prices, utilities etc make Silicon Valley look cheep.

Agreed, but you only tend to accept that when the other needs in that famous pyramid are taken care of.

Regulation that increases cost of living is only going to cause resentment and we already see where that leads to.

I've been shocked in my career in the UK by just how much founders will rip people off on equity

In basically every UK startup I've worked at they've done 1 or all of the below:

1. Offered options in numbers with no valuation/percentage of ownership. "We offer you 40000 stock options!". When asked to clarify numbers, they delay and never tell you. Inevitably they have a value of a few pence each

2. Withdraw options unilaterally when you leave the company with no option to exercise

3. Never get round to filling in the paperwork so you never actually receive them

I was _shocked_ when i worked for my first US startup and they just...gave me the options. And I could exercise them whenever I wanted. And they expired 10 years after I left the company
And main difference with Apple is that you don't have to log in to their services on iPhone yet still have full _phone_ functionality.
> The UK lost Deep Mind - which could have been OpenAI!! -- to Google.

You're focusing on one success story out of thousands.

90%, or more, of US startups only exist to be sold to the highest bidder or to coast indefinitely long in infinite investor money, and never turn a profit.

There's still expectation in Europe at large that your company should have an actual business plan and a path to profitability.

Volta.

The hardware is good. It's fairly horrendous to program but comparable to other specialised chips and the lowering from XLA / onnx etc worked well enough.

The 20x performance lead over Nvidia's Pascal looked great. Volta beating Pascal by 10x did unrecoverable damage to Graphcore's marketing slides. I think they got the later generations running a bit faster but it was never the order of magnitude over nvidia they started from.

I'm not sure what they're doing these days. The exit to softbank valued the employee shares at $0 so the engineers that had already left got burned. Most of the engineers I knew there have left but there still seems to be a large headcount.
If you're interested in why this happens, try reading some of The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. If the choice is comply or die, fine upstanding morals don't really come into play except in very rare cases. And even then, what good does getting shot for a minor detail do in the grand scheme of things? You're not going to spur a revolution to overthrow a dictator because you were shot for not following an order to the letter in a Siberian concentration camp.
Is that really the case? I.e., can you get ChatGPT to show you a copyrighted work?

Because I just tried, and failed (with ChatGPT 4o):

Reply: I can’t provide the full text of the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling because it is copyrighted material. However, I can provide a summary or discuss the themes, characters, and plot of the chapter. Would you like me to summarize it for you?
Immigration is legal though, in most countries.
I think you're perpetuating a false equivalence, though.

The Chinese government kicks out foreign social media because they want to censor a laundry list of topics and have near-direct control over discourse.

If we assume poor intent, the US wants to kick out TikTok in order to prop up the market share of US/Western-owned social media companies.

But if we assume better intent, the US wants to kick out TikTok in order to deny the Chinese government the ability to run unfettered political/social influence campaigns on US citizens. (Instead they'll have to play cat-and-mouse games on Western-owned platforms.)

Even if both intentions are there, I think this is much better justification than what the Chinese government does.

While the action may be similar, intent matters.

There is no security threat, it's an excuse. I own a printer and operate it in LAN mode. It requires authentication with 8 digit code.

If you think they care about security, let me remind you that this company used to connect to their cloud in plaintext. The only security they really care about is that of their revenue.

If they actually cared about security, they would let us disconnect these printers from the cloud completely and allow us to manage our own mTLS certificates.

Yes, there's no reason not to do it, only upsides when you try to sell it to enterprises and governments.
Having spent time at a reasonable sized corporate environment with our own CA, I have to agree.

Its often a case of its fine until it isn't and different organisations handle it differently. Python requests installed via pip will use its own truststore, but installed via rpm it will automatically use the system store. Amazon Corretto JDK also installs its own truststore, so you have to correct that. Running thirdparty applications often comes with trouble, too.

More recently, we've been bitten by a JDK bug[0] that prevents Java from correctly interpeting Name Constraints.

I think your example is perfect. What he gave you is not a complete answer to why, because, as you say, he might have been doing a number of other jobs. So why roofs specifically? Add the description of how he inherited his father’s carpenter business but whenever he visited clients, they all had leaky roof, yadayada, and that he now feels happy enough to not look for any further changes, and you get the kind of answer OP is looking for.
> So, by your way of thinking, if there was a chance that pooping on the floor myself might discourage my dog's bad behavior, I should go right ahead?

No, I think the way of thinking is that it's irrelevant whether or not China (the dog) does it. If you want to deny the Chinese government the ability to use a Chinese-owned social media platform in a certain way, then you ban it. This isn't a tit-for-tat situation at all; the US is doing something it believes is beneficial for itself; it's not simply pooping on the floor which would serve no benefit.

The overall point is that your analogy doesn't fit the current circumstances, so stop using it to argue against the TikTok ban.
AFAIK we aren't sure what is going on in China. If anyone is wandering HN with a sourced rundown of how their system is structured I haven't seen it. Given how critical China is to the global economy and political situation it seems a bit weird how little information seems to leak out into the general discussion.
"Fell for it" implies that everyone buying a Bambu printer expected some degree of openness. Maybe some customers actually want an "Apple model", where the device mostly looks after itself and "just works" as much as possible.
> which was then used by Bambu who could manufacture a printer for less in China rather than in the EU.

I'm not at all convinced that Prusa's main issue is the cost. Yes, cost is a huge part of it, but the other one is also just usability. When the X1C launched and later the A1, there was a huge difference in usability between what Prusa and Bambu had. Prusa is catching up and that is good. But they will have to do more on that front still, and the higher cost is less of a concern. It becomes a problem when the more expensive printer is worse too.
> I can bet you nourish some well-developed fantasies about what you would do if you were given enough power over any "less centralized society", and they are a lot more about imposing your view over everyone than ensuring your small community can prosper and be happy.

Damn, you sound very angry for someone who is having a calm discussion on the internet. More importantly, you seem to be assuming a lot of stuff about me but we've never met. And you have no clue about how much of it is right.

So please just, kindly, shut up. You look like an ass.

Quite good article, into goes into some depth that more devs should learn about, instead of thinking a rewrite in C is the only path to performance.
My local supermarket only sells the basic flavors vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. But then they sell dozens of variants of Ben and Jerry's and similar brands. I wish this was the other way around. Just give me boxes of single flavors like in the Italian gelaterias.

I'm a British-American hardware engineer, I've lived in the UK nearly all my life. I've a home, and a family with kids here, I'm very settled. I've had plenty opportunity to move to the US, even before I had a family (with my current employer or under my own steam as a citizen) and I've no interest. I visit the US every few years and by the end of the trip I'm very much done with it all. Other than the much larger job market, I don't think there's a single US thing I want. Everything we have here is either better, or I'm sufficiently used to it. American is an unappealing place to live for many social reasons, I'd much rather move to France or Germany if I had to leave (and wasn't worried about the language barriers).
It’s not something that Americans in general explicitly believe, but you can see it in their attitudes and behavior towards the rich and successful. For example, HN (being somewhat weighted towards American cultural norms) collectively believes that people who have made lots of money are especially wise and hard working, and therefore have special insights to offer to the rest of us. True or not, this is a culturally specific belief.
"A quick look through history" is what I'd expect from someone who skims over a book and completely misses the point because they think they know it all.

There is a constant narrative that is pushed on everyone that immigration is necessary because people won't do the menial jobs. There is a huge number of problems with this this narrative.

* Menial jobs were/are normally done in the past by younger more inexperienced people. These were usually done part time while in education. This allows younger people to build basic competency and money management skills. They aren't supposed to be jobs for life and everyone knew this in the past. By constantly importing people from to do these jobs, you stop younger people from building up this basic competency. This stuff is important btw, as I know many people who never had these jobs and had the bank of Mum and Dad pay for them for far too long, they don't know how to manage money.

* A lot of more menial jobs are done by people that are part retired. When I was younger I worked with many part retired people that had a stressful job and moved away and part retired and were on the checkouts out the supermarket, cleaning, pushing trolleys or delivering things.

* A lot of immigrants seem to do jobs like Uber Eats, Deliveroo and other zero hour contract food delivery jobs. If you don't believe me, go to your local McDonalds at 8am on a Saturday morning and every driver picking up food will be a immigrant of one sort or another. These are jobs where people are literally too lazy to drive 5 minutes to the McDonalds drive through on a Saturday morning. I am normally very pro-free market however do we really need to immigrants to do these jobs? I don't use Uber Eats and I have no idea how much it costs, but I think the guy up the road that has a small mansion a Jag and Two Teslas can probably afford to pay a bit more for delivery.

* I am from the South of the UK. If you aren't from London or another big city, London is one of the most horrid places to visit, work. I spent maybe a 4 months working as a freelancer in London (travelling in). People are downright rude, everything is a ripoff. I'd rather be slightly worse off and live here than be "better" off an live in London.

The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn is a great read on that subject. (It's very long, but the abridged versions are fine as long as you get a good translation). Into That Darkness by Gitta Sereny is also great - a biography from a series of post-war interviews with the commandant at Treblinka concentration camp, who wasn't any evil genius, just someone who didn't have any particularly strong moral feelings and went with the zeitgeist. The Lives Of Others is a great film about the Stasi in East Germany too.

> make immigration legal if you don't want illegal immigrants

As a philosophy of law point, aren't laws passed to make things illegal if they aren't wanted? Rather than legal?
Can confirm. I was a Technology Evangelist (adjacent t,o but not the same as, Developer Relations) for certain web and app technologies.

The dept I reported to was laid-off en mass in late-2015/early-2016.

I interviewed for the iOS design team later that year and after several months and two interviews was ghosted and never heard from them again.
I agree, but my point is that the France, Germany, and other comparable European economies have the same or similar problems. The UK is not some exception, it is a typical western economy. The US is an outlier (doing better).

> that includes part of their beloved NHS

A more severe problem is that the NHS was debt funded (mostly through off balance sheet debt) in the 2000s. The government kept their promise not to increase national debt by disguising running up disguised debt in the NHS

Its also worth noting that a large chuck of NHS services, GP services in particular, were always subcontracted to private providers.

It's not a matter of "charging more often". The phone just shut down when the battery was somewhere between 0-40%

I'm under the impression that tech people working in the US on visas are exploited. The end of year review / firing round which is so popular in the US means you can lose your job, which means you lose your visa, and you get something like 4 weeks to land a replacement or have to move out of the country.

At 20? Sure, who cares. If you've got a house, kids in a local school? The level of stress about being abruptly thrown out of the country seems untenable.

I would expect that dynamic to suppress wages for immigrants (as you have fear to keep them in line instead). Healthcare seems to be similarly set up to frighten people into staying in their current employment.

This perspective might not be accurate, but it's why this British engineer is unwilling to move to the US.

I have fond memories of soldering my own small Blinkenlight, a BlinkenLED, around 2005 as a kid. This was before the Raspberry Pi was around - it was just a 10x20 LED matrix controlled by 20 shift registers [0], connected to the serial port of an old DOS laptop. I remember that it was trivial to shift the individual bits through the serial port with a small BASIC program.

Soldering this thing, however, was a challenge. It was basically 200 LEDs on a perfboard, the cathodes all connected by a continuous strip of non-isolated wire (I think I used paper clips for that), and the anodes all individually connected to the shift register output pins via flexible wires. It took me several weeks to finish this with a cheap 10 EUR soldering iron from my local hardware store, and it did not look nice from the back.

It worked very reliable, however, and I used it to display the time, the date and some small animations for some years.
