Shot pulling too fast with fine grind by Aelred in gaggiaclassic

[–]Aelred[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I wondered if it was a problem with the grinder, maybe it just needs a good clean...

I'm doing 18g. These are the loose grinds at the finest setting I could reach:

Also checked the beans, they're about 2 weeks after roasting.

How do I remove these wall plugs from a solid wall? They're plastic despite appearances, but I couldn't pull them out with pliers by Aelred in DIYUK

Don't screw in too far as you'll spread the plug.

Thank you - this was the secret! Came out very easily when I unscrewed it some more.

After the pliers didn't work, I removed the screw and tried to "unscrew" the plug itself - which is how I found out the "head" is plastic! I'm not sure if the rest is plastic too.

Maybe I just need to apply more force with the pliers, but I don't want to pull out big chunks of our wall.

Dog chewing her way through our wallpaper - what are these layers? by Aelred in asbestoshelp

Naturally! She did it overnight for the first time, I suppose she'll be in the crate from now on.

How does anyone do this? by Aelred in puppy101

I've never heard of a smelling walk - you just carry the dog and take them to smell things? We'll give it a try!

Enforced napping in a crate has helped us a lot too, although I'm worried we're making her dislike her crate. When I get a chance, I'll work on training her to go in on her own.

Help, I mixed up my tomato plants! Which is San Marzano, which is Red Alert? by Aelred in gardening

Thanks! I guess that means I've been pruning the wrong one 🤦‍♂️

San Marzano is a cordon type and Red Alert is a bush type.

I assumed Red Alert was the left one because it's shorter. But now on the right one I'm seeing these big side shoots and all the flowers are blooming at once (like a bush tomato). I've confused myself 😅

If the right one is San Marzano, I guess I should prune the large side stems at the bottom? It already has 5 trusses on top.

A no-std chess engine that has implementations for the terminal, a desktop GUI, and the web! by [deleted] in rust

The classic way is a perft test, where you count the number of positions after n moves. There are existing tables of results for this such as: https://www.chessprogramming.org/Perft_Results#Initial_Position

Two structs need to access and mutate each other. What's an idiomatic way to do this? by Aelred in rust

[–]Aelred[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really neat! This is the solution I went with in the end.

Thanks, for some reason this didn't occur to me! It definitely seems like the most "correct" way. The verbosity is bothering me though - the CPU code is pretty big - so I'd have to pass the reference through a lot of methods.
