I think the sentiment was that the mentally ill would be more susceptible to misinformation.

Maybe a bit of a gross simplification, but would you say this is analogous to something like k9s for Kubernetes? It looks handy, to say the least.

This is incredibly cool, but I feel like it skims over a pretty important hurdle as well. It says that a good chunk of cost is saved by 3d printing the lenses which can be expensive, but I can also hazard a guess that the kind of printer that’s capable of producing lens-quality printed plastic isn’t anywhere close to the realm of “budget friendly” as the whole printer itself.

That’s not coming from a place of pessimism, either though. The prospects of being able to do something like this are incredibly cool—but it’s a bit misleading in its pitch.

This all makes sense, thank you for all of the info!

This is super cool! I would love to learn more about diving into hardware hacking like this, but I feel like the learning curve is basically a hockey stick. Do you have any advice or recommendations for someone like me?

Not only does Bambu sell parts, but there’s a pretty healthy market of third party parts as well. Saying these printers are irreparable is plain false.

I rarely print multi material in the same print just because of the filament wastage, but damned if the AMS isn’t worth it for not having to mess around rethreading the filament for filament changes. I know that’s a luxury “nice to have”, but after years of fighting with an Ender 3 Titan extruder and the filament curling just enough to not make it through the PTFE coupling, the AMS is such a time saver. Pop in a roll, push it in an inch, then forget about it and pick it from a list when I print. Done. Love it.

I got my P1P pretty hesitant about the closed ecosystem, but having to never really think about my printer and whether a print is worth the time it’s going to take, which prevented me from printing a bunch of times on the Ender 3, I’m sold at this point.

I wish Prusa the best of luck with their new printer, and I’m sure it’s a solid piece of kit. I think they’ll do alright. Just like I feel as though Bambu have really changed the market in the last couple of years, they’re building in the footsteps of the paths carved by Prusa.

I absolutely love this, but I hate websites like this so much, especially on mobile. I’m haphazardly scrolling hitting breakpoints trying to get to content that either lags well behind my gestures to animate a device spinning around, or zips past everything I wanted to actually read. If you want to show a video, please just show a video.

Does anyone have more examples of articles written in this perspective? Regardless of my experience level I love diving through “ELI(a mediocre engineer)” type explanations as I either learn another piece that wasn’t completely clear, or gives me another set of examples to help explain it to other people. Either way they’re generally very helpful.

Hero U was so close but ultimately such a grindfest that I ended up souring on it a bit but it was still the closest a game has come I think.

That’s the thing! Even if the city had plans of their own, I’d be willing to bet if this guy came in with any sort of backing beyond “well I’ve got my own ideas!” in the way of actual (architectural/engineering) drawings, (time/financial) budgets, etc, he’d have a lot better luck.

Also—like other people have said, if the city are assholes, that sucks, but he’s still going to be fighting a steeper uphill battle on his plans and investments without them behind him—suck it up and learn to work with them or it’s going to be that much harder to not only get started on his current plans, but also his longer term plans of revitalization.

Maybe a great piece of software can be built as a single person working alone, fighting the odds and pissing people off, but I can’t see that approach working for building a town full of people.

Those are all great ideas! That’s the kind of focused “make your investments help you towards your goals” implementations that I see lacking in the overall approach of the person in the article, though. Those _would_ be good ideas, but instead they’re fighting with the people that could help his plans move forward (council) and sleeping in a tent in danger.

With the exception of a handful of core modules isn’t that exactly what Nextcloud does?

As an aside to this, are there any documentaries or clips or things to read about "retro" console piracy that necessitated something like the lockout chip? I mean at this point I know about flashcarts but I dont know a thing about back when the NES wouldve been new-ish, let alone before then.

I havent used the AVP but I remember feeling the excitement of being able to watch a movie in a theatre all to myself with the Oculus Rift all fade away in the first half an hour with the loss in clarity. I have zero doubts that the comparison is night and day between the CV1 Rift and the AVP, but when I think about how much I'm bothered by blurry text when I'm working, I can't help but be a bit bearish on pulling the trigger on getting one. I'm sure I will get there, but maybe not on the first generation.

Love the idea of this, wish it had a Docker Container to make deployment easier.

I've yet to encounter a cutesy name for an organization's employees that isn't cringey, but ooof, when it's used in layoffs it feels so tone deaf. I really wish the name fad would pass.

I see that lazygit is listed as inspiration for this project. As a lazygit user myself I'd be curious as to what was lacking from lazygit to warrant an entirely new project, as I've found it to be incredibly useful.

Really appreciate you posting this! I didn't really watch Buffy but the video did a fantastic job of highlighting the issues.

Im not a real estate agent but i feel like that would more or less immediately pay for itself in resale value, if that makes sense. In looking at houses, if it has a space like that thats an immediate frontrunner for me.

This seemed great, until I popped $5 on it yesterday, made one query, then came back to it this morning and I think it's been "HackerNewsHugged" as it's incredibly slow, and my $5 credit has vanished .

I think it's interesting to consider the effect of something like Doordash or Uber et al. As a consumer ordering from a restaurant, if I'm visiting the restaurant I'm encouraged to overpay by 20-25% and I'd say that the expectation is that those tips are shared between the front and back of house, at least to some degree.

With Uber Eats, I'm getting the same food without that same expectation. Granted, these delivery services expect a tip of their own but there isn't the same expectation of those tips to be shared, despite the percentages being similar. That said, anecdotally I feel much less guilty tipping a "normal" 10-15% on a delivery than at a restaurant, which incentivizes me to just order delivery instead of going to the restaurant.

Is there going to be some shift in dining the way there has been in retail? I don't know, I'm not an analyst, but it's interesting food for thought.

This was a cool rabbit hole to dive down—thanks for the introduction to the Aladdin Deck Enhancer!

I’m trying to think about what the authors unspoken “better approach” could’ve been, because I’m with you—that doesn’t strike me as remarkable at all, it seems like it’s the way things have always been.

Maybe they were trying to argue that for something as simple as that, it could’ve been a div with a background and a font icon, and used CSS to make the div into a circle, and rotate that? It certainly seems more complicated at a glance, but I’m not a frontend dev, so, who knows?

Humbly suggesting “Automation” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automation_(video_game)) for the cars category, because not only is the engineering side of things relatively in depth, you can export your designs and drive them in another game which is heavy on physics simulation, BeamNG.

The “Death to Pixels” shader pack for Retroarch has done an awesome job of tricking my nostalgia brain when playing old games. (https://forums.libretro.com/t/cyberlab-death-to-pixels-shade...)

I wonder if these are more efficient in sone way? Or accurate?

I use the Athom one also, and putting a reed switch in the fully closed state, as well as in the fully open state allows me to reasonably determine where the door is. Might not be enough for your case, but for me it was enough to know that the door is “kinda open”, or “fully open”, or closed.

You ever walked a mile carrying two armfuls of groceries? That’s brutal without a car, and without public transit nearby, that makes it incredibly inconvenient and difficult to have food in the fridge. Get outta here with your feigned sarcasm, it’s a legitimate problem.

I wish SmartTube was able to connect to Invidious instances. As Google is getting more and more aggressive against ad blockers, I’d like to be able to put one more “insurance” barrier in place in case they end up start banning accounts. SmartTube is far and away the best YouTube client for androidTV, legitimate or otherwise though. Even if I was paying for YouTube premium, SmartTube would still provide an objectively better viewing experience.

I had one. It is the one car I’ve had that I truly miss. So many clever little features that made it an absolute joy to own and drive. Slow as absolute molasses, but still such a wonderful experience. So spacious for the size, with things like the rear seat adjusting so that you could have more storage area or more rear passenger legroom, which, holy crap, why was that not more widespread?! That car had significantly more legroom than _any_ “midsize” SUV on the market in 2023, certainly more than the Mazda CX50 we ended up getting, which I genuinely thought this article was about because all of the annoyances were ringing true.
