What's weird to me is big enough offices tend to switch to a subscription paid by the page, where the maker is engaged in doing reasonably whatever it takes (ink replacement, parts replacement etc.) to keep the machine printing. I hear

The way around this could be to have the printer validate new cartridges through a test print, with eventually internal sensors to raise errors as needed. That would be to me the cleanest way for HP to handle third party ink.

Is there any everyday usable browser left that is not architectured as an OS and isn’t supposed to work like one ? While I see your point it seems to me that ship has sailed many years ago, perhaps from the point where Chrome’s OS like kern

Pythonista has been there for years, and it’s not just Epic running Unreal Engine games that load code on the fly. It’s mostly on who/what Apple likes, and some other circumstances. It’s tempting and comforting to apply a general princ

I concur, the iPad is not yet a good place for development, except for python and JS perhaps if it's reasonably self contained. I tried with the Pro, the best setup was to remote into a raspberry pi. Editors are becoming better but it&

The situation is more complex. For instance I have a subscription to a magazine publisher that pushes me any new issues of several magazines as they are published (roughly 10 to 20 every months). And the content of the subscription is not

Is it ? We sure are using more apps than ever. But I think we are also using more "smart" things than ever, and not just in the buzzword sense. A ton of everyday object now have chips, from toothbrushes, thermometers, door bells,

I don’t understand this part: > In the current version, model inference is executed on the client’s CPU for low power consumption and widest device coverage. Naively I would think model inference done server side would have the lower CPU

PHP has been optimized to death so performance wise it’s excellent (same as javascript, it should not have become so fast, but the sheer amount of work done on it gives it an edge). The other advantage over ruby (python too?) is the server

It’s because reality is complicated. Most people don’t want “dark mode” as a pure accessibility feature in the sense of “whatever color scheme is fine as long as it’s dark everywhere”. That’s the reverse color feature in most OS. Instead I&

I think we should separate ideas/proof of concepts that were in the field and presented as having potential, and implementations that are largely adopted and reliable. There will always be a lag between the two, and it won’t just be ‘r

It can be used for exactly the same purpose: checking the environment before doing the action. E.g. force yourself to read the “production” part of your prompt before running the command. Point at the user name before deleting its record. R

No money coming to Apple could have other effects, like more aggressive anonymization of search data, or even caching on Apple’s side, or any other technical setup that their contract prevents them from doing now. Also Google is not the bes

It’s a matter of balancing costs and income. Insurance companies can deal with skyscrapers or airline crash insurances, I don’t think privacy leaks should be harder to manage than actual death.

Replace privacy leak with car accident. No insurance company has perfect info on car safety, driver behavior or road maintenance status. Yet as a mandatory system it works well enough. Insurance companies have the tools to deal with lack of

The whole issue is designing software around the assumption that there will be a primary group. It means all other groups become second class citizens, and you might not even understand who will be your real primary group at the time of cod

I like the focus on scale in the title, and think it’s very apt. Requiring discipline is not superior or inferior, but doesn’t scale. It’s then your to decide how much it matters: do you have/need to only focus on a small group or are

The trackpad is just the saillant point. As we(I) go deeper the "let's try linux" route, thousands more papercuts come to the surface. It's fine for specific use cases (e.g. just focusing on backend dev), it becomes wors

This is a valid concern, sadly it's only a drop in the bucket. Talking to people trying to get divorced and preparing to have their partner become an "enemy", a lot of them had their apple and google accounts managed by their

This is part of the plan, but I find this angle to give too much credit to Google. Once they reached a dominant ad network position their whole strategy has been “advancing the web is advancing our revenue”, and it bled into mobile to the

You are technically true. It just happens that Youtube is the dominant video platform and gets pre-loaded in the default seed. Would they have made the same choice of preloading a default seed if they had no properties in the seed ? who kno

Making conditions crappier won’t help. Imagine reducing accountants salary expecting them to be more ethical as a result of the change.
