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


    enum DoesUserWantToSave {
      Yes,
      No,
      Cancel,
    }
:p

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.


Don't underestimate the desire some people have to screw over millions rather than merely thousands :(


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 was young, and it was like a fever dream. I couldn't believe that was on TV. It was pretty darn subversive.


Like other really good satire it keeps predicting things it wasn’t trying to.

We’re living down to it.


> We’re living down to it.

Thank you for introducing me to this turn of phrase. I get the feeling that it will become more and more useful in the coming years.


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


No idea not an emacs person does magit handle bulk author/date edits or just reword? genuinely curious


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.


The unique properties of every imaging/printing system are usually robust in identifying specific devices. Not really anonymous if eventually registered, compared, or metadata indexed.

It is also common for people to create urban legends rather than discuss how to actually fix legal policy failures. As previously stated, consumers implicitly gave permission though sustained inaction on industry volunteering to help track customers.

An OSS printer would be cool from a standards/driver perspective, but microfluidics are a nontrivial technology. Bloomberg also paid lobbyists >$23m to try to mandate "AI" R.A.T. installation (company associated with Palantir) on 3D printers to attempt convincing criminals to care about laws again.

It is unclear if such action is consistent with constitutional legal precedents, but it is certainly hilarious to see kids figure out the mess a prior generation creates. Best of luck, =3
