This is super cool. Any chance you'd make a Docker container for it to simplify usage for people who are scared of node?

Is this where the name of the zine came from, I guess?

There's an old adage about hammers and nails... I forget the details.

Yea sorry for the misinformation. I'd read an earlier version of the Emacs wikipedia page that made it seem like Gosling Emacs was the original. The page is clearer now.

It's so crazy to think the original emacs was a commercial product.

Please do a write-up of these debug features. I'd love to learn about them.

Das Keyboard keeps me hooked with their on-board USB hub. I'd love to switch but it's just so damned handy. I don't know why more kb manufacturers don't do this.

Ruby is nice in every regard :) Most languages have some form of backticks to run an external binary. When I left my original comment I got a phone call in the middle of it and rushed it, sorry about that. What I really meant was having the versatility of the big 3 file descriptors along with return codes, etc. You can use Open3 (in the ruby case) but it's unwieldy compared to, say bash.

I'm mostly in concordance, but one thing I think every scripting language got wrong is how painful it is to run external binaries. Sure it can be done but it could be as easy as a shell script.

Powershell has some cool things, but it's a disaster when it comes to usability.

It just strips off the final one.

I wonder how it works for people who use business-name@personal-domain.tld as their emails with whatever businesses.

Capitalism's whole thing is create the sickness and sell the cure, right?

You might try a clipboard manager. Most of these that I've used have an option to strip new lines from anything in the clipboard.

Ok I stopped playing when Muslim+money was terrorist. Hard pass.

Speed+light isn't Einstein?? Chariot+God isn't UFO??

I was hoping for a self hosted copy of The Old Reader.

It's worse than helping users feel like they can decide later. Much worst IMO.

As a life long android user, I recently purchased an iPad to see if I could stomach IOS because I'm really sick of Android's shit.

In going though the initial setup, I elected not to set up face unlock..."maybe later." Same with iCloud and one other thing, I forget.

In trying to use the device for the next hour or so I was nagged constantly to "finish setting up your device" because I hadn't turned this crap on that I never ever wanted to use.

Do you want to go stomp some puppies?

What!? No!!

I'll take that as a "maybe later."

I think the concern is that a subsequent allocation would have blocks from a previous allocation that could be readable.

I wish i could see your face when you discover Home Assistant and its Enphase integration.

Why is this better than CDPATH that is already built into my shell?

I started on PiHole and moved to AdGuardHome and eventually landed on Technitium. I have a large home network and it does auto reverses and multiple record types that the others didn't. I really like Technitium.

>They don't all have nothing that isn't required.

I'm not smart enough to parse that sentence, I think.

The article doesn't mention that they just added ads to Prime Video with the justification of spending more money on developing content.

I may be wrong, but I think when Torvalds created it, he envisioned an email based workflow using patch files.

In his use case, he is the single source of truth who decides what gets merged.

Wouldn't bar charts show that too but without the issues mentioned in the article?

ZFS does. I've heard of other file systems that can put their journal on a separate device but web search sucks these days and I ran out of time to figure out which.

I'm not sure either, but AFAIK they've expanded every year. They seem to be doing fine.

> The actual market isn't Ender 3 vs Mk4.

Goalposts moved!

> It's extremely hard to argue that Prusa printers represent a good value in any market segment in a post-Bambu world.

I don't find it hard.

> produce better prints

> faster

I've heard this is true, so let's roll with it!

>multiple high end printers that I've dumped $2k+ into.

You must mean high-end China, yeah? $2k doesn't sound like much when it comes to FDM high end.

> But I've also got an X1 for when I just want a part and don't want to think about it. It's an appliance. It just works. That has massive value for people where printing is a means to an end rather than a hobbyist journey.

Are you thinking that Prusa printers are a "hobbyist journey"? Because they're definitely an appliance. Not only that, they're an appliance that can be repaired with off-the-shelf parts for the most part.

> If you're a hobbyist that wants to tinker, there's nothing that justifies dropping 5x the cost of an E3 on a Mk4. $800 will go a long way toward making up any difference.

I totally agree (given the constraint.) No tinkering necessary on an MK4. Have you ever used one?

> Because they refuse to engineer their products for mass production. Which is, coincidentally, one of the reason why they're also failing to compete on price.

This is more eye-of-the-beholder stuff. You think this is bad. I think this is good. Makes the world go 'round.

While it does hinder them competing on price, it also grants them some flexibility to improve designs over time. Since the printer has printed parts, users can print the new/better designs if they want.

The thing I've noticed about Chinese-printer proponents is that they're hyper focused on price. Even when I say "Initial cost of ownership and what else?" you lead with "They're cheaper" Let's say that the prints are better, I think they do print faster and I'll take your word for it that they don't require any manual tuning by the user (just like Prusa.) What about repair? What about contributions to the 3d printing community? What about support (and I'm not talking about Prusa's chat/email)?

My first Prusa printer was an MK2. After its release, Prusa continued to iterate on that product and offered multiple upgrade kits over its lifetime at reasonable prices that brought compelling features. Do you think BL will do the same? Or will they instead want you to buy a whole new printer to get the latest whatever that they've lifted from the community?

I'm going to guess that you don't care. That's your right of course, but there are people who do care about e-waste and planned obsolescence and buying as few products made by slaves as possible. Those people aren't wrong just like you're not wrong. We just value different things.

What you've said is true, but it assumes the goal is money. If that's the measurement, then yes they should do that. I'm not him so I can't say for certain, but money doesn't seem to be Jo's end-goal.
