Tapes were constantly kept in the data center, so constant temperature and humidity 25C/50%. As I said, Tapes were changed after N uses, drives properly serviced. So if you leave them at home, in the sun in summer and in winter expose them to 10C with humidity from 10% to 90%, old drives, never clean heads… IdK That all being said, when I started working there, in my ignorance, I said “TAPES?!?! They are not reliable” due to my experience with audio tapes. But I was laughed at, and they told me about people putting 10 9 track spools in a car [0] (by the way, the same we used for billing backups!) and they went literally thousands of miles driving on partially dirt roads, in summer w/o AC, doing updates to systems, and also never ever had an issue. They were so sure they would work, that they did not take a second set, even when driving 1000 miles, and a read error would mean going back!!!

Which are developed in jails, in virtual containers in other containers in virtual machines on top of hypervisor cloud system

I have worked with 5 different LTO Tapes, 5 different other cassette formats (DAT, DDS, etc), and open spools… never, ever, ever in the 15 years had ANY problem. We did cycle them very often, we did have proper maintenance of the drives, through. Now that, compared with RAID Disk arrays, where we had monthly failures, was much better. Also I would not trust the „semi-permanent“ NVMEs, where after 1 year without power they get basically reset

That is what I think will happen at the end.

But in a far more natural form.

He was on drugs. Right?

And if we are comparing USA vs Germany, taxes to gas (car fuel) which is much more expensive in the EU, because of taxes.

>> needs (or at least is of good use) such a tool.

Of course there are people who do not need that tool. The thing is, other languages doesn’t need such an explanation tool at all, is very much enough with reading a small book. I personally would like C++ to not really need it, but clearly as I stated: maybe “the only one”

Lisp is simple to compile. Even C (at the level this tool works anyway), also basic, and maybe other 100 languages (again, not the whole compiler, but what this tool shows).

Compilation per se is not difficult. Doing it with good error recovery, good feedback in case of error, and the optimization is difficult.

This tool does not tell me those parts (for that is gotbolt) this is about how the first layer of interpretation works, and not for making compilers, but for understanding what the code actually means, because is not obvious at first sight.

I must be the only one who (while I like the tool) feel a little strange, somewhere between sad, angry, annoyed and disappointed (can’t really express it), that a language needs (or at least is of good use) such a tool.

Like: I wish what is the first interpretation of my code to be obvious. Is not about advanced optimization, or nitty gritty compiler tricks, is about the language. This tool is useful in any C++ compiler. How did we end with such a complex language?

I mean (sorry, very personal take) the programming language is for me a tool to help me think about a problem and its solution. In this era of LLM more than before, is not a tool to get the machine to do something, is a language for formalizing ideas, problems and solutions, like math. Should not be so obscure, that you need to be a lawyer to understand it, right? Or I am very much old and totally in the weeds with my ideas?

This. The question can be seen like “should I learn to solve sodoku, if a computer can do it better?”

My experience with lisp was exactly that: it completely changed how I think about programming, but much more, how I think about systems and engineering. (I learned it through SICP)

ARM does the design. What are u talking about?

This is more or less the reason why bool is not recommended as a type, instead use a enums which add semantic value

Let me add, it sound very much like 3D-prohibition for guns. The total demonization of anything, because it could be bad, given certain conditions, is a recipe for disaster. As you say, is extremely difficult to define where are the limits, and the extremely hard to apply the limits without screwing over millions.

Now that is what I call a series ahead of its time! Also saw it as it came out, had totally forgotten about that word.

I would like to see something like this in magit. Other there is already?

Yes. Absolutely! Many times I had a wrong configured terminal and messed up the author. Often I work in different projects, privately and in my work, and I use different authors for both

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.
