1) Accepts also normal A4 paper according to specs 2) Yes, sure.

It only works if yellow cartridge is installed. And is anonymous, because it only identifies the serial nr., make and model of the printer.

Well, the same thinking was going on when Mr. Daniel Gelbart [0] started Creo. In all the videos I've seen from Gelbart, he always repeats that many things are being done wrong, he has some answers, but people keep copying bad design.

Saying "no way you will succeed, is way too difficult! look how hard is it for HP" is absolute non-sense.

Also, if the whole printing head is from HP, and they sell it for the price they do, I do not think is the most advanced science the mankind achieved. I would have such doubt maybe if somebody wants to compete with ASML. But Inkjet? really? such an old technology with all patents expired?

Still is. I think got a tiny little bit better, but sucks.

Yes, but not bully the people sharing AGPL code. I would like to see how they do it.

I understand your point, but to compete against bambu, I think is necessary. I still find is the best option.

We could search in the source, but I’m 99.999% sure it is a PID, because of course has to work in different environments. So I do not think it should be a problem.

I don’t know if bambu is easier than Prusa. Bought myself a Prusa core one, having absolutely no idea whatsoever what is 3D printing, plugged in, the included filament in, just as the 10 pages manual says, click click, and I made my first print (no internet connection, no wifi, no registration, no app).

Then I installed the app (open source in github) and started using the “cloud” services. I consider myself pretty stupid with such things, and it was absolutely the easiest thing I’ve done in 10 years.

The price is very high though. But at least you OWN the damn thing.

You can say that with manual reveal of photographs, LP collections, a text written with a typewriter.

Is not the end of the world. Is a change.

In my experience they DO want more regulation. Regulation that helps them. The automobile’s industry was lobbying for years to have all kinds of things mandatory. They invented lots of standards and pseudo standards. At the end they shoot themselves in the foot.

This country should be called the Corporate States of America.

Who knows a country in which is different, let me know, please, honestly.

The power of the central part.

oops! Now I read it... reads totally backwards. I meant, moving state is easier as moving between countries in the EU

Still easier to move country inside the EU, as an example.

AFAIK only Swiss and USA have a real federal estate. Good thing.

You can measure all the parameters you want. The question is: does it really matter? I know many doctors, and one of my favorite questions is about stethoscopes: I have unanimously the answer "I could just roll a piece of paper and if the room is quiet enough, I can do my work". My grandpa used one made out of wood, just a cone. Once, I was fascinated by a Littmann, with bluetooth audio, I told a friend doctor, that would be great (thinking about a present) the answer was "That is all hype, I can do with a $2 piece exactly the same". I pointed out the possibility to record the sound, to possibly defense in case of being sued: she laughed out loud, said is unpractical to record everything, would take too much time, and again, just a toy.

And patients. What would you think if the doctor in front of use is using a plastic thingy that seems more come from a doctor-toy-set?

Neurosymbolic programming

Also in Germany, also using exclusively iPhone with carplay. Not perfect, but light years better than google maps.

I have seen way too often, advocates of SOLID and patterns to have religious arguments: I don’t like it. That being said, I think there is nothing bad in SOLID, as long as treated as principles and not religious dogmas. About patterns, I cannot really say as much positive. They are not bad per-se. But I’ve seen they have made lots of harm. In the gang of 4 book, in the preface, I think, says something like “this list is neither exhaustive, nor complete, and often inadequate” the problem is every single person I know who was exposed to the book, try to hammer every problem into one pattern (in the sense of [1]). Also insist in using the name everywhere like “facade_blabla” IMHO the pattern may be Façade, but putting that through the names of all classes and methods, is not good design.

I agree. But I have to say, when defining the architecture, there are things known that will be terrible bottlenecks later. They should be avoided. Just as the previous comment, about defining proper indices in a database. Optimization means making something that is already “good” and correct better. There is no excuse to make a half ass, bug ridden shitty software, under the excuse “optimization is for later” that is technical debt generation: 2 very different things.

That is the giat of the leftpad history, isn’t it?

It is to me incredible, how many „developers“, even “10 years senior developers” have no idea how to use a dubugger and or profiler. I’ve even met some that asked “what is a profiler?” I hope I’m not insulting anybody, but to me is like going to an “experienced mechanic” and they don’t know what a screwdriver is.

Yes, but I still don't understand that explanation. Clearly self is a descendant of Smalltalk, that purified a part; but still is a descendant. At least I understand the "ur-" as indicating linage, more about time as features. For me is still backwards.

I don’t understand why self is placed in the list instead of smalltalk. Smalltalk came first, and Alan Key was the one who invented the “OOP” name.

Also ML is seen as a child of Lisp.

Waterfall disguised with other names and extrem expensive certification.

> With agile, at least no one was charging you for it.

Depends. There are companies [1] making loads of money out of it. Charging for certification and imposing the idea that either you are certified, or you are going to fail. They are even eating the lunch of PMI, as PMI (PMBoK) is turning into an Agile manual. Where I work is being expended literally millions per year in Agile.

I've seen similar effect with Montesori, Waldorf, Kumon methods. If something is wrong, is because it was misunderstood, or not properly done.

Thanks.

That sentence is constantly repeated, as if it would be some kind of absolute truth. The fact is, for every end, there will be probably some means that are totally justified, and some that not.

I think the original context is: no matter how high, pure and perfect the end is, it does not meany any mean is justified.

That gives me the idea of making a sort of transpiler for it as a side project. Maybe I will.
