OT: I really enjoyed The Increment when it was first being released. It felt like the first software engineering practitioner's publication and introduced me to a lot of new people to follow.

An alternative to consider are dot matrix / impact printers.

They are used in kitchens, as heat sensitive paper doesn't work well there. It's just plain paper and an ink ribbon.

Same underlying protocol as thermal printers, so the code is mostly plug and play.

They often can print in two colours (red and black). And sound like the 1980s.

I... thought dot matrix printers were some of the worst for releasing particulate matter into the air? Especially ultra fine particles?

I can't find any information regarding this.

Thanks, you're right, a quick google shows nothing... I could've sworn reading about how they're very bad... perhaps I was misremembering with standard printers?

You can buy phenol free paper

There's also this which works using a purely physical process: https://www.koehlerpaper.com/en/products/Thermal-paper/TH_Bl...

Check out some results here: https://thermalprintcameras.wordpress.com/blue4est-paper/

I use Niimbot M2_H which uses thermal transfer technology, and it’s more durable and lasts longer than thermal ones, BPA free as well.

You can find the source code for the slides here: https://github.com/timeplus-io/gg-vistral-introduction/

Here seems to be some examples of printed images on Blue4est paper[1].

A code review is an engineering practice and a knowledge management process; it should not be confused with a merge or pull request, which is a change management and version control process. When you say, “code review wasn’t even ubiquitous until around 2012–2014…,” I think you’re referring to the approval tooling built into merge requests, not to code review itself. Engineers were having their code reviewed long before then.

By the time you genuinely expect a PR to be merged, it should be essentially rubber-stampable, in my opinion. It shouldn’t be the first time someone else is looking at your code—let alone the first time anyone is reviewing your design.

I've come across two different answers regarding Apple's Virtualization.Framework support for nested virtualization:

1. Yes, but only Linux guests 2. Yes, but only M3+

https://github.com/apple/container/issues/191

You are correct on both accounts, as of tahoe 26.3 you can't nest a macOS guest under a macOS guest. However you can nest 2 layers deep with any combo of layer 1 guest so long as the machine is running Sequoia and is M3/M4/M5.
