My Prusa Core One 3D printer has had two upgrades available at reasonable prices since I purchased it. These upgrade kits are a bit more involved than swapping out a battery or camera but in the end, I will have the latest hardware. They are a great example of "good guys" continuing to hold up their end of the bargain. I hope they make some profit from the upgrade kits because this kind of relationship is worth rewarding.

Instead of attaching click event listeners to each button you can just have one event listener. Makes sense when there is a single target. Nice to have in the tool belt.

But they aren't just using their earnings. They are borrowing too.

No, they didn't state in the article the evidence because it has been handed over to the authorities to deal with. It is now an active investigation.

We should give it to Taiwan. That would piss China off nicely. /sarcasm

They have survived the internet revolution where other businesses have been disrupted. No startup is even close to chipping away their collective control. So they are empowered to do as they please.

I think you are confusing what the article means by clutter. You don't keep things in the third room that are unnecessary. It is just that spending time organizing them in a system that would appear visually de-cluttered would be a waste of time. Your third room might eventually need to be cleaned out once your cache gets full of things that, for one reason or another, you don't need anymore.

The issue seems to be with how Windows handles file system operations. They allow filters to operate over each request. These filters are like hardware drivers in that they are created and maintained by third parties. So, MS has no real ability to change how things work because they don't have absolute control in the same way that Linux does over the operations (Linux device drivers are part of the kernel)

I watched the movie last night and it was good for what it is. I wonder if Netflix wanted to jump start something they genuinely thought was good but was being buried by all the other things they are offering. Maybe they thought the ends justify the means if their costumers are entertained.

You look around the table and see if anybody is currently serving themselves. If not you rotate a little ways. There is usually someone else who wants it turned. Since most of the meal is spent grazing and serving small amounts, the table really never stops turning.

The article mentions that reality of more-output-less-jobs by stating that the workers are required to work harder, because the boss threatens automation if they don't. It is the fauxtomation (the author's word) that is scaring the workers to produce more.

I guess the point of view is leftist because it takes into account the worker's welfare. That doesn't seem like a bad side to be on...

I use to work on hospital lab software.

* It was over 20 years old by the time I started

* It was written in Fortran

* Variable names were single and double digits

* Each fortran program would run in isolation but had a shared memory process

* It was formally a terminal program but a weird Java frontend was created so everything looked like Windows GUI

* All program names were four letter acronyms

* All data was stored in fixed width binary "flat" files

* It previously was under CVS version control, but each install slowly drifted apart, so each site had it own unique features and bugs.

* I once had to move a significant feature from one install to another using only patch files generated from the work done on the original install.
