It’s all fun and games until you go remove it from the code your new quirky junior programmer checked in, and now production is dead because the artificial delay just happened to avoid some weird nearly-untraceable race condition.

Roll on snare. Everybody laughs.
six figures for a junior programmer, no less

Snap ya fanguhs, do the step, you can do it all by yo self, lemme see ya do it
onn 4k googletv box is amazing. $20 and a launcher swap and it’s like ads don’t exist any more
In broad terms it’s true, though there are some variants of assembly that are newer than COBOL.
Assembly language is one step above machine code, and was the first large step toward a world where people write server-side code in Javascript.

This is from last year.
It was more than kernel anticheat from Valorant that I was aiming at.
There’s an easy solution to that too: Don’t buy games with kernel anticheat.

Gonna put a biiig [citation needed] on that one, chief. The only thing red light cameras have actually been shown to do is increase revenue for the government that operates them (and the vendor that installs them, of course).
I’m pretty sure the IIHS study is the only one that concluded a net positive effect from the use of cameras, and then only specifically that they reduced the incidence of fatal collisions. This is supported by other studies which show the frequency of t-bone collisions decreases and the frequency of rear-end collisions increases.

I don’t have to, I watched Planet of the Apes
That surgeon general’s warning sent me into a giggle fit.
4·1 month agoNo. Symlinks and hardlinks are two approaches to creating a “pointer to a file.” They are quite different in implementation, but at the high level:
- Symlinks can point to other filesystems, hardlinks only work on the same filesystem.
- You can delete the target of a symlink (or even create one that points at nothing), but a hardlink always points to a real file.
In both cases, the only additional data used is the metadata used for the link itself. The contents of the file on disk are not copied.
This is neat but the selling point for me with the Pebble is the e-ink display. If repebble fails though, my next watch will be a Pine. Hopefully my Versa 2 holds on for a bit longer 🤞
2·1 month agoIt’s possible that you’re going too slow. It sounds nuts, but I’ve seen degradation of print quality on my homebuilt ANET A8 by going with lower speeds and trying to play around with flow rates.
What I ended up doing with that machine was printing a series of temperature columns, flow rate columns, and speed columns to zero in on the smoothest print. I did all that with my most commonly used PLA and then PETG. I’ve had to make very small tweaks for some variants (for example, matte PLA requires about 4% more flow rate than my baseline).
It’s been years so I don’t remember exactly, but I think I went through three loops of the towers: Find best temp (five degree steps between 180-220C), use that temp to find best flow rate, use those two to test speed. Loop back and do each test again using the best result from the prior two and adjusting each floor of the tower in smaller increments. I think I only had to do temp twice. My profile for that machine and my bulk 3DMARS PLA filament is 208C at 105mm/s and 103% flow rate.
The SV08 that I’ve been using recently is a completely different animal (corexy vs bedslinger). I haven’t had to tweak much at all to get ridiculously fast and good quality prints. I’m actually about to install the enclosure kit and try out ABS for the first time. Since I set up this machine I haven’t even powered on the A8.
Also, have been using Orca exclusively without issue so I can’t really lend advice there.
Good luck!
Sovol has been generally decent in my experience (SV08), but they’re kinda positioned between the “tinker” and “turnkey” markets. What wall are you running into?
Bambu would have been my recommendation before they tried to lock people into the cloud connection. They’ve reversed course (for now) due to the backlash, but they’ll do it again when they think they can get away with it.
At this point I’d probably say Prusa, but I don’t have firsthand experience with them so that’s based solely on what I’ve read. If you’re looking for something that will “just work” you’re going to need to search for what’s in your price range and then read everything you can about the models in question on support forums and reddit (ew). You can also learn a lot by watching YouTube videos but you have to be really careful to see past the “they gave me this for free/paid for the video so I’m going to minimize the negatives” crap.
Aw man, again?! I just bought these pants!
