    It looks really interesting from a technical standpoint. I really hope they manage to make meaningful progress. At the same time, it looks really challenging; not just because of t…

    I got a second hand Prusa Mk3s about a year ago as my first printer, around 300 € perhaps. I'm still enjoying it a lot, even though I'm now eyeing one of their upcoming (more expen…

    Not the one you're replying to, but I'd keep TTL high normally and lower it one TTL ahead of a planned change.

    Do you have an image of the reversing portion? Any examples of pitfalls? On the face of it, it seems like you'd define paths and sweep profiles for the material to remove. Is the d…

    build123d has constraints for avoiding math. I'm not familiar with the sketch constraints in FreeCAD though, how do they compare? https://build123d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutoria…

    Off the top of my head, in no particular order: As the sibling comment mentioned, the classic problem of chamfer/fillet. Inconvenient in OpenSCAD, trivial in build123d. There are v…

    Despite being aware of its existence, I stuck with OpenSCAD out of habit. Only last week did I read through the documentation, and feel strongly that I've been missing out… it seem…

    Shouldn't it be 1000/16 = 62.5? Impressive nonetheless, of course!

    This is only the language for describing the volumes. That's not heavy, rather the importance is that you can express the ideas you want. The heavy lifting of rendering and computi…

    That sounds like a nice improvement, just like many other aspects of jj! Tools should adapt to us and not the other way around, but if you are stuck with git, there's a slightly di…

    Fair enough. We use Dapper for a handful of performance-critical queries. But I wouldn't want to use it for the 99% where EF works well. Just like I wouldn't want to hand-roll asse…

    Especially with the recent extension of STS release support from 18 to 24 months [1]. Previously, upgrading from an LTS version to the next major (STS) version meant the support wi…

    Are you referring to the change tracker? FYI you can have it skip tracking as the default (or per query), but when you actually want to make changes you better opt in with `.AsTrac…

    Me too! It was funny how little love it got given how well it worked. The only issues I came across were artificial blocks. Some programs would check the OS version and give an err…

    The article in general, and final paragraph in particular, reminded me of this essay: https://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html Edit: if the connection isn't clear, I mean the aspec…

    I'm impressed by your, and their, hearing comprehension here! Granted, English isn't my native language but even with concentration I struggle to hear what they say.

    I use a fork [1] of Valetudo and it lets me do just this. I save one map per floor, then restore when carrying it between floors. One floor gets cleaned much more often, but so far…

    Came here to say the same thing: PaaS. Intriguing that none of the other 12 sibling comments mention this… each in their bubble I guess (including me). We use Azure App Service at …
