I think that only happens if you manage to acquire a monopoly and are forced to break up your company - I’m not entirely sure you have to sell parts of it publicly even then

Unless the someone happens to be the owner.

It’s still legal in Australia, at least, we never got the anti-circumvention rule the US media companies got into the US trade agreements

Or rather we did, but they have exceptions that cover just about every otherwise legal use case. I can legally decrypt media to play on my Linux machine, for example. I think the only thing we can’t legally do is circumvent controls to do copyright violation

There’s already a glut of tech workers. The IT job market already sucks

I don’t imagine AI is going to make it much worse

Emacs

My Prusa xl printed tpu perfectly first go on its flex preset.

I have had a PLA print holding my bike light working for about three years so I don’t think that’s a problem

I wouldn’t buy Bambu. Too much of a vertical company. I don’t believe they’re upgradable, I don’t believe they’re hackable, I don’t think they’ll work well with random third party filament

I like Prusa. They are upgradable, they are hackable, they work fine on any filament

I’d go for a Prusa printer, they’re highly maintainable and easy to upgrade. Definitely not Bambu - they’re a closed source shitty company

Nozzle change is easy on new Prusa printers, Prusa have a how to on their website

My Prusa XL 5 tool is printing like a champ. So far I have printed a 2 colour PLA print that took the whole print bed and a flexible (TPU) print for my bike

It hasn’t missed a trick

I love Prusa

I also have an ankermake printer which I bought hoping their colour system would happen, but it never did. I’m tempted to replace it with a Prusa mk4s with their working multiple material unit (MMU) which is already in version 3

And it works with an open source slicer

And their printers have a history of being upgradable

Any printer I get in the future will be a Prusa

What were the best settings on that video?

“Ed is the standard text editor.”

Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

When I use an editor, I don’t want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a “viitor”. Not a “emacsitor”. Those aren’t even WORDS!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

TEXT EDITOR.

When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their “edlin” on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard.

Ed is for those who can remember what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED “VISUAL” EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

There may be more than one way to do it, but that really isn’t the best way of doing what perl is best at

Just old style SMTP. That’s nearly extinct on the wild internet now

Round is the safest way of using decimals for money as it corrects 10.499999999 (decimal fractions can’t be stored precisely in floats as binary can’t precisely represent all 2 digit decimals) to 10.50, where floor would take it to 10.49

It is safer to count in cents and have a policy to handle fractions of cents from divisions

That’s how mainframe programmers at my workplace do SQL. I think they do it due to long table and field names and narrow mainframe COBOL files

Create a moderately ok password, hash it, use the hash as your nice unique password, as a private joke for when the database leaks and yours is the only password that’s hashed and you start getting spam saying they know your password hunter2 (because they incorrectly dehashed the password) or 2ab96390c7dbe3439de74d0c9b0b1767 (md5 sum of hunter2; because they correctly read it as plain text)

I wonder if they would have bought it had the dev priced it at $10k/year

For info for those not familiar with minor open source licences: AGPL is descended from GPL 3, and is properly copyleft. No surprise it is poison to Amazon

It wouldn’t take much google-fu to get a worked example of good authentication in whatever language. She can’t have tried, she must have just gone “programming 104 covered how to SQL, I can use that”
