What was the mistake? Can’t P1S work offline? I thought they can print from SD card, and there’s also LAN mode?..

Your code is that contract (unless your tests cover every possible input, which is not practical in most cases).

Same for me. The arrows are so small I can’t even see them on my phone, but animation makes direction clear.

Most codebases that ban exceptions do it because they parrot Google. Google’s reasons for banning exceptions are historical, not technical. Sadly, this decision got enshrined in Google C++ Style Guide. The guide is otherwise pretty decent a

If my system doesn’t work - I want to be alerted. If notification was supposed to be sent but wasn’t - it’s an error regardless of whether it wasn’t sent because of a bug in my code or external service being down. It may be a warning if I’m

If you mean that sites with expired certificates may technically be accessible if one jumps through enough hoops and ignores scary warnings - yes, of course you’re right. Maybe this will just teach everyone to click through SSL warnings the

We wanted TLS everywhere for privacy. What we ended up with is every site needs a constant blessing from some semi-centralized authority to remain accessible. Every site is “dead by default”. This feels in many respects worse than what we h

If the cost of building software dropped so much - where is that software?.. Was there an explosion of useful features in any software product you use? A jump in quality? Anything tangible an end user can see?..

I was hoping for easy backup via zfs send as well, but turns out it’s not so easy atm. IncusOS does not give you shell access, you have to figure out IncusOS ways to do things via their CLI/API. I haven’t found an easy way to do incr

The ticketing system might very well be the oldest. AFAIK the very first large-scale commercial deployment of what we now call "distributed cloud apps" was SABRE, a ticket reservation system built back in 1960s, still in use today

Well, direct democracy already exists in various forms (e.g., referendums, propositions on California ballots, etc.). Sometimes bad decisions are made, but I wouldn’t call it a total disaster. Can it be improved through technical means? How

I wonder if technical complexity of implementing online age checks is about the same as implementing a robust direct democracy system - one where people can vote down bad laws instead of outsourcing those decisions wholesale to politicians

The files I normally have write access to are my important files though. Immutable snapshots/offline backups help with those.

We may want to start thinking about smartphones as infrastructure. It’s not practical to run five sets of power lines to each house so that utility companies can compete in a free market. Thus utility companies are heavily regulated. But it

It depends. If your codebase is already free of lint warnings - adding a blocking check to prevent new ones is no big deal. But if your blocking check means that everyone has to drop everything and spend a week fixing code - of course this

It takes time. For a team not used to code reviews, they might seem more trouble than they're worth at first. Most likely they will be more trouble than they're worth for the first few months. Keep doing them and eventually your

I’m prepared and happy to accept the $100K offer today as it is … I would be grateful if it could be increased to $120k. This is absurd. Why would anyone give you $120K if you’re saying right there you’ll be happy to accept $100K?

Indeed. The first time this happens the programmer will spend hours looking for the first few places that need to be changed. Then he will spend days debugging, and hopefully will find the last few places. Then, even though he is now inform

Yeah, you start down this path and one day you end up with compilers for Go, or Ada, or Fortran, or who knows what else. How ridiculous would that be! PS. GCC stands for “GNU Compiler Collection”. All of the above is already there.

Exactly. iPhone was a toy, 20th century internet was a toy, electricity was a toy. On the other hand nuclear fusion, self-driving cars, and bitcoin were the things to change the world as we know it in the next decade or so. Things that chan
