My only beef with Microsoft and Xbox is that they're not willing to open up these systems to any sort of macros or even complex rebinding.

Shame, because I used to actually admire how he handled layoffs. Was a far sight better (from outside looking in) than the "thanks, here's one extra paycheck, send your laptop back at your expense please" I'd experienced

People use mouse on Xbox. There will always be some

Any puzzle made by Oskar van Deventer. He's got a ton of them, they're all free, and he posts YouTube videos about them all

Wonder how many things they shit up

I was surprised to find that an old Plex feature, controlling any one player from any other instance, such as playing on a laptop and controlling with a cell phone, no longer worked. My wife and I used that a lot when traveling, as plugging a laptop into a hotel TV with an HDMI cable is generally far more bullet proof than any streaming stick

Course sometimes we'd stay in an Airbnb, and they'd have a Roku or Apple TV, where we'd just sign into a Plex app and use it there. But that's beyond the point

I've heard the song and dance from all the tech companies at this point. Google and Microsoft both offered a package that promised things like chart portability and whatnot. Each was shut down a couple years later, and charts and records remain as locked down as ever

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

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.
