    What was the mistake? Can’t P1S work offline? I thought they can print from SD card, and there’s also LAN mode?..

    Your code is that contract (unless your tests cover every possible input, which is not practical in most cases).

    Same for me. The arrows are so small I can’t even see them on my phone, but animation makes direction clear.

    Most codebases that ban exceptions do it because they parrot Google. Google’s reasons for banning exceptions are historical, not technical. Sadly, this decision got enshrined in Go…

    If my system doesn’t work - I want to be alerted. If notification was supposed to be sent but wasn’t - it’s an error regardless of whether it wasn’t sent because of a bug in my cod…

    If you mean that sites with expired certificates may technically be accessible if one jumps through enough hoops and ignores scary warnings - yes, of course you’re right. Maybe thi…

    We wanted TLS everywhere for privacy. What we ended up with is every site needs a constant blessing from some semi-centralized authority to remain accessible. Every site is “dead b…

    If the cost of building software dropped so much - where is that software?.. Was there an explosion of useful features in any software product you use? A jump in quality? Anything …

    I was hoping for easy backup via zfs send as well, but turns out it’s not so easy atm. IncusOS does not give you shell access, you have to figure out IncusOS ways to do things via …

    The ticketing system might very well be the oldest. AFAIK the very first large-scale commercial deployment of what we now call "distributed cloud apps" was SABRE, a ticket reservat…

    Well, direct democracy already exists in various forms (e.g., referendums, propositions on California ballots, etc.). Sometimes bad decisions are made, but I wouldn’t call it a tot…

    I wonder if technical complexity of implementing online age checks is about the same as implementing a robust direct democracy system - one where people can vote down bad laws inst…

    The files I normally have write access to are my important files though. Immutable snapshots/offline backups help with those.

    We may want to start thinking about smartphones as infrastructure. It’s not practical to run five sets of power lines to each house so that utility companies can compete in a free …

    It depends. If your codebase is already free of lint warnings - adding a blocking check to prevent new ones is no big deal. But if your blocking check means that everyone has to dr…

    It takes time. For a team not used to code reviews, they might seem more trouble than they're worth at first. Most likely they will be more trouble than they're worth for the first…

    I’m prepared and happy to accept the $100K offer today as it is … I would be grateful if it could be increased to $120k. This is absurd. Why would anyone give you $120K if you’re s…
