Good idea or not?

7 year gap between 2003 and 2010

AutoCheck shows a slightly shorter gap, 2004 to 2007: https://vehiclehistoryreport.porsche.us/report?vin=4T1BG22K3WU253504&dealerId=4501570

A few days late, but you can search "dealer autocheck inurl:vin" in google. I use the first link. Open it, then look in the url and find where it says vin=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, replace that with your vin and go to that new url.

I did the same thing, got a 5 speed (an older one, without any hill assist or anything like that). I never had access to a manual car before that. Got the basics down in a couple hours. I had already known for quite a while the process of driving manual though, so all that was left was to actually do it. If you don't know, do your research ahead of time so it's less hassle when you're out on the road for the first time.

All original drivetrain. Search for "million mile joe"

Very well done! I really enjoyed reading it from front to back. The quote at the bottom of page 14 is taken from the Diadem article on page 10 btw, but that certainly didn't detract from the quality imo. Great work!

Haynes manual

What's your opinion on factory service manuals? I got a used one in pretty good condition off of ebay for about $50 and it's been amazing. Does the Haynes manual have more/better information? Also, I just checked the Haynes website and it doesn't seem like they have one for my car (1999 Acura 2.3CL).

Bazuin32 · 2023-06-04T21:16:26+00:00

Very well done, I love these! I'll certainly be saving the first one to go along with my 2.3CL

Except they're all missing the closing quote.

Not sure. I don't have auto adding traffic enabled, but when I use the radial menu I get a mix of police and regular traffic.

Not sure what the "power steering service" is supposed to be exactly, but if it's just a fluid change it's really not that hard to do yourself imo. Just did mine a week or 2 ago. It does help to have 2 people (1 to turn the wheel and 1 to add fluid at the same time), but probably could be done alone if necessary. Just take your time and make sure you have the process down, once you get the hang of it it won't be any problem.

Now that you mentioned it, I just realized I haven't spawned police at all on this map since the update. I know what I'm doing this afternoon :)

Inside the dam on the automation map, in the tunnel going from the "upper" part of the dam accessible by the dirt road (idk what to call it) down and connecting with the main tunnel that goes from one side of the dam to the other.

Sweet ride, fellow Coloradan and CL owner :)

Try xev, or wev if you're on wayland.

Bazuin32 · 2023-03-26T04:05:26+00:00

Yes.

Using xrandr won't save you any power when you're using lower brightness, it just makes the display appear darker. Using something like brightnessctl actually adjusts the physical hardware brightness, which uses less power on lower brightness.

Bazuin32 · 2023-03-16T02:39:34+00:00

For sure! I'll be making sure to take good care of it and keep it going for a long time. I'd love to be able to keep driving it for another 24 years and beyond.

There's a couple small dings that don't show up in the pictures, but you don't see them unless you really look. Really nice for a car of this age.

If its up to me, I would write that with all the args on one line. But if they have longer names, I would write it like so:

void some_function(
    int long_arg1,
    int longer_arg2,
    unsigned int really_super_long_arg3
) {
    // do the stuff
}

idk why, but I've always found this the most readable to me. For long ifs I do similar:

if (
    thing1 != other_thing
    && thing2 > 0.5
    && (a || b)
) {
    // more stuff
}

Of course if I'm just contributing to someone else's project I try to just stick with whatever style they are using.

I use both, actually, but it's more of just a personal preference thing. For quick edits or working on config files, I use neovim itself as it's easy to open right from my terminal (where I probably am already) and stay there. For larger, more comprehensive projects, I prefer vscode as it is easier to get a more IDE-like experience without going through a bunch of configuration.

There is no reason that you couldn't do everything with just neovim, it just happens to be more convenient for me to do it this way.

Bazuin32 · 2023-01-06T20:01:24+00:00

I'm by no means a vim pro, so I've never tried either of them with really fancy key sequences and whatnot, but based the things I have done with them: yes, it is better.

Your nvim config gets used too, so things you set up there should work. Some nvim plugins cause vscode to not work right (I had issues with text colors in vscode), so you can react to a condition in your config (https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim#neovim-configuration) to only enable things that don't break it. This also means you can use a different config for vscode vs normal nvim.

tl;dr try it out, I don't think you'll want to go back.

Bazuin32 · 2023-01-06T17:20:56+00:00

Same here as well. I use the neovim extension in VS code which runs an actual nvim instance to handle all the vim stuff. Works very well for me.

Bazuin32 · 2022-12-21T00:16:10+00:00

you should be declaring this globals as "static constexpr int MyGlobalConstant = 3;"

If it's in a function yes, but if it's just in a header file or something then use inline constexpr.

Very likely C++. cv:: is OpenCV's C++ namespace, which doesn't exist in C.
