And frankly, there's not really too much I want to do that the x1c can't presently do, so there's minimal need to go buy a big new expensive printer, or build one

Yeah I'm keeping eyes on the voron.

My next printer must have the following, else it's not much of an upgrade

  • Multiple extruders or changeable tool heads
  • 500mm^3 print volume
  • Actively heated enclosure
  • Lidar and auto tramming
  • Ams like thing
  • Full opensource
  • Core xy. Not interested in a bed slinger

Apparently the h2d is crippled if you use offline mode. No cutter or laser support

This is what I was always afraid of. With the x1c they didn't really take away any hardware features if you put it offline and so the trade-off was acceptable. But locking you out of the physical hardware that you've purchased is a whole new story. Kind of like the dishwashers that require an app to do a rinse cycle.

For what the h2d costs you can get an awful lot of printer from a different brand

Fwiw the open source scene literally got started because of a printer

It's giving me serious pause when looking at things like the new Bambu printer

I really like my x1c, but I haven't upgraded it's firmware yet, and probably never will, because the local features are just too good. I know I can replace a lot of the bambu cloud features with octoanywhere, but I shouldn't have to

MacOS has had caffeinate forever, and it works great

[–] Paradox 2 points 1 week ago

I've been using one for years. It gets some use. Not a ton, but some. Most common use is as media keys or as the modifiers. Oh and escape in vim

Did they perhaps confuse Tesla solar installs with the cars?

As long as the RPi foundation keeps messing around with their supplies, reserving the lions share for "corporate" customers, I'll stick to espressif devices. I can get a bag of them for the cost of one of these

Atlantic is available for hire. This feels like a pr article

Already been doing this, but I think this will finally light the fire under my ass to move to a boox device for all my reading I've got the big boox, which I use for sheet music, and quite like it, so the smaller ones are no brainers

Djot is a markdown alternative, created by John MacFarlane, creator of Pandoc and spec author of CommonMark. It aims to fix many of the little issues Markdown has, and does a pretty good job of it, imo.

I hereby officially announce the Elixir type system effort is transitioning from research into development: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2023/06/22/type-system-updates-research-dev/

A huge thank you to Fresha and Starfish for sponsoring this new stage. They are also hiring:

 

ExUnit is wonderful, and the functional paradigms that underpin Elixir let us write extremely complex tests in a fraction of the code that would be needed in OOP testing frameworks like RSpec.

But it's not all wine and roses. Tests can quickly accrue tons of boilerplate and repetition.

Using some Elixir features, you can cut down on these, and make tests even nicer to write.
