  • People don't understand that Caillou wasn't written for kids but for parents. Each episode is about Caillou behaving bad and then showing how an adult can redirect the bad behavior. It's made extremely obvious in the books.

  • Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison

  • Windows Media center was an amazing money saver! I cancelled all my cable boxes, bought a server to run 8.1, bought some used xbox360's for every TV in the house, and everything was paid for in 9 months compared to the cable company rental fees. So I not only got 3 xbox360s and a server for "free" but was saving money for the next 3 years until I cancelled cable completely.

    Plus I had unlimited TV show storage and could transcode anything I wanted to keep permanently to mp4.

  • What is causing these layer lines? I'm assuming it has something to do with the curved part, as it starts around the same height as them. Is there a way I can avoid these?

  • Increase / decrease infill/wall overlap % seems like the best advice I found while googling.

    Imo printing on edge would fix it and make the print stronger but that could require changes to the model / printing with supports.

  • What's a good printer for ASA filament?

    Jump

  • I have printed ASA on my Anycubic S1. It's enclosed but doesn't have an active chamber heater. It uses the bed heater to slowly heat the chamber. It's $350.

    It technically worked the very first time but it still took like 3 prints tuning the temperature to get good layer adhesion. (I was printing extremely thin and narrow parts and the ASA would break along layer lines.)

    Going only by YouTube reviewers, the Qidi Plus 4 seems to be the best low end for "engineering" filaments. $700 and out of the box it has a hardened nozzle, high temp hardened extruder, and active chamber heating- plus a 305mm build volume. Even their $400 Q2 has a hardened nozzle and active chamber heating.

  • While the U1 is incredible, it cannot do ASA out of the box.

  • If I were to buy another printer, the Snapmaker U1 is at the very top by a huge margin.

    But I wouldn't recommend it for ASA. Out of the box it is an open air printer without active chamber heating.

  • Question: To replace or attempt fix

    Jump

  • He's using the wrong words. No printer has an accelerometer.

    Automatic bed leveling requires a printer support it. Klipper can't do it if the hardware isn't there. Same with flow rate calibration. Manual in Klipper requires test prints and then editing the config files. Flow rate on modern printers is calibrated automatically using the camera.

  • Question: To replace or attempt fix

    Jump

  • Klipper can't do a bed mesh if the printer doesn't have a probe.

    Manual bed leveling means using a sheet of paper and adjusting bed screws to get it at the right height.

  • People totally got killed by doing their own maintenance

    People have totally gotten killed from maintenance done by a "professional" (new kid on the job at the shop.)

    I watch YouTuber CarCareNut and he's shown many stupid mistakes made by dealerships.

    I assure you I take greater care doing repairs than a tech who will get yelled at if they don't finish the job fast.

  • The argument that apes have never asked a question "is a classic example of overstatement," said Heidi Lyn, a professor at the University of South Alabama's Comparative Cognition and Communication Lab at the Department of Psychology and Marine Science.

    "There is plenty of evidence of apes asking questions, although the structure may not look exactly like humans asking questions," Lyn explained.

    I would think that's a tiny subset of the producers.

  • Memory is running out, and so are excuses for software bloat

    Jump

  • Because I converted some backend processing services from nodejs to rust,

    You converted only the functions you needed and only included the functions you needed. You did not convert the entire node.js codebase and then include the entire library. That's the problem I'm describing. A few years ago I toyed with javascript to make a LCARS style wall home automation panel. The overhead of what other people had published was absurd. I did what you did. I took out only the functions I needed, rewrote them, and reduced my program from gigabytes to megabytes even though it was still all Javascript.

  • This isn’t Reddit. You don’t need to talk in absolutes.

    I haven't posted anything on reddit in years. There is no need to start off a post with insults.

    re: garbage collection

    I wrote java back in 1997 and the programs used a few megabytes. Garbage collection doesn't in itself require significantly more ram because it only delays the freeing of ram that would have been allocated using a non garbage collection language. Syntatic sugar like iterators does not in general save gigabytes of ram.

    The OP isn't talking about 500k apps now requiring 1MB. The article talks about former 85K apps now taking GB's of ram.

  • Memory is running out, and so are excuses for software bloat

    Jump

  • Writing in Rust or "an efficient language" does nothing for ram bloat. The problem is using 3rd party libraries and frameworks. For example a JavaScript interpreter uses around 400k. The JavaScript problem is developers importing a 1GB library to compare a string.

    You'd have the same bloat if you wrote in assembly.
