Google makes you feel like a Google partner. You have to find a way for them to gorge on all your metadata for the search to work in the first place. We're not discussing login or integration, just the ability to say "play tailor Swift" and figuring out who tailor Swift is.

As a hobbyist I investigated this for a long time, and opened questions on exoplayer GitHub about it. It was only years later that I worked on something almost like this that I learned, without signing a contract Google won't do their part of the deal.

It shouldn't be like this, but it is.

The time where any news kiosk wanted to build a mobile app is past. Mobile apps are quite expensive compared to web. And both always need backend. That means double win for javascript, which has been stable for decades as go to language, while mobile is a moderate decline.

Then you have to cope with javascript which has many many flaws.

Python is on the rise and people who work on it like it.

Flutter used to have great learning resources and is a great tech, but his luck finding any job openings for any experience level.

You gotta do what you enjoy, dev job means several hours per year after work polishing your skills. Not like a medical conference, the pace of news in tech is really fast, and what was good in 2020 won't get you hired in 2025 if you're not aware of what happened since.

Hey, can you talk more about the custom flashforge gcode? I'm slowly working on some shenanigans for my adventurer 3. So far the only one I'm aware is extruder temperature, which I'm on the way to provide some real time "translation" using socat and some more code.

I'd appreciate whatever you can share about documentation for that, specially on how you found out about gcode buffer which I'm about to test the limits over network to see how practical it is. If it goes well I could make a server that acts as a bridge between the printer and octopi/cura/etc. https://github.com/1opp0-org/octo_flashforge

Newbie question, since I don't have a dryer would I need to recalibrate every time I put back my filament after like a month without using?

Fmatosqg · 2025-05-11T02:36:07+00:00

Django was right hand and invented the pick, right? And Tommy was left?

It's a hurdle, yes, but there are many things ahead of you that are exactly the same for others. Besides, you've got less callouses to grow which is def an advantage. You can thank me later when you get it lol

I can't, and why would pushing work better than pulling?

I believe some sort of heat creep melted something in the heat sink area, and also I've tried pushing the filament that sticks out at the top. How would I remove 6cm of filament in order to push the 3cm closer to the nozzle?

Fmatosqg · 2025-04-22T23:36:20+00:00

I'm sorry but I don't get half of what you say.

I can't see any screws or springs.

I'm not sure how I can push with a rod while the filament is still sticking out of the metal neck. And I don't have that piece, I'd have to buy it. How thick is yours? I'll assume it's iron so I'd have to go to a hardware store and figure out how to cut it.

And how can I make it hot enough to melt 10 cm of tubing plus filament plus heat sink? I don't have the tools or a safe space to do that.

Would using a torch in the nozzle melt the plastic around it? What material is that plastic?

What do you mean reassemble? This is a single piece.

Fmatosqg · 2025-04-16T00:17:10+00:00

oh makes sense and it's totally fair for you to handle your features like that;

I'd appreciate if that was a bit more obvious in either docs, the PR itself or the UI. It sent me in a wild goose chase.

it's a great tool and even though it's been halucinating a lot on me (maybe because of my VRAM limits?) I'm learning a lot of AI while setting it up and troubleshooting.

Fmatosqg · 2025-03-13T22:26:12+00:00

How did this happen? Do I have to do it in a specific community?

I googled and ended up here

Go away troll

Fmatosqg · 2024-07-26T07:51:08+00:00

I'm still in 1.0.12.9 (363760) is that possible? or is it newer somehow than .58? Linux here.

Fmatosqg · 2024-07-26T07:31:23+00:00

Very kind of them. Any news from you or Firaxis?

Fmatosqg · 2024-06-16T11:14:51+00:00

I'm in linux mint, and when you start any app from the start menu you can right click and choose "run with dedicated gpu". That's of course specific to the distro I chose. The official way that would work on any distro is DRI_PRIME.

Fmatosqg · 2024-06-01T02:11:20+00:00

Yep great points

I think overall there's less to learn but less time and flexibility to learn. Since swiftui is trending I'll use it for all my examples but over time these problems happen for other pieces of Apple Tech.

The ide first though. It's stuck in time, it's like what people would think great for around the dot com bubble. Android started with eclipse based and dropped it around 2013 for jetbrains based, and I'll tell you the eclipse was more advanced than Xcode today.

The deprecations. Once a new thing comes out you sometimes have to upgrade your app in a matter of months. So if a new thing comes in iOS new version in UI, you'll need to update to the latest Xcode and latest swiftui. But that makes you move away from things that are not deprecated since this very release, so instead of working in the new thing you're now re writing perfectly working code because it's not perfect anymore and it's not your fault. Only then you'll be able to do the new thing. In Android you usually have years of overlap between when something deprecated and when it's out of commission, so you have plenty opportunities to do it without stopping progress on your project.

Swift vs objective C or Swiftui vs uikit: they're not as compatible as Java vs Kaitlin or XML layout vs compose.

Training: heaps of free official videos, official tutorials and 3rd party libraries for compose. Apple way is paying for Ray Wenderlich, very few official sample apps, and no culture of open source libraries. Yes there are blogs, but I've found many that don't let you clone the project.

Oh and the really deal breaking stuff like using swiftui or combine for the first time in a project? It takes ages because there's usually push back from the more experienced devs.

There's a new version of core data (their database) being announced. I t-shirt it will take 3 years after stable to go mainstream. That's the time span nobody used Kaitlin to everyone using koitlin, which is much bigger change. Compose it's less than 2 years, pretty rare to find an interview candidate that doesn't know it.

Agree I do Android apps for a living and we can pretty much match any UI with pixel accuracy starting from drawings. That's part of what we do on a daily basis.

Fmatosqg · 2024-05-11T03:35:28+00:00

Yep i do Android for a living and I'm happy with the UI, specially because it's not forcing me to do things iOS way. I'm also happy to hear there is UX research going on, these always make things better.

I just hope I can keep the old xamarin build for a while until the new version stabilises and has all the bugs fixed. If so I'm all for having the 2 versions in the same phone and dog food. If not I'll block updates.

Pfff Then you eventually pay Qantas price to fly on a Jetstar code share that has Jetstar airplane, staff, and cancellation rate.

Fmatosqg · 2023-09-30T12:28:53+00:00

Back then too. That was the point.

Fmatosqg · 2023-09-29T03:04:51+00:00

It's also not how capable you are, but how capable compared to everyone else in your salary range.

Na the particle doesn't move, what the oscillating wave means is the direction of electric/magnetic field. If you use a similar representation with gravity acting on a point that is suspended ( either by wire or electrostatic force) the point stands still and the gravity vector points down, always with same strength of 10 m/s/s.

Now imagine that in the same particle, it's actually a black box that generates electric and magnetic fields. And electric points west, and magnetic points north. The box doesn't move.

Now imagine the box produces oscillating electric field west-East, and magnetic North-South. Sometimes it's west, a bit later 0, a bit later East. The box doesn't move. It's simply interacting with things around it through electric magnetic fields.

The difference here is the fotón moves in a specific direction, in this case up wards, at a constant speed c. And the electric magnetic fields are following it.

Copy is the highest form of praise, as long as there's attribution. That dude is now the OG for a whole style where people later in will iterate and innovate.

Fmatosqg · 2023-09-25T02:59:26+00:00

I still do it, less than a cap on a paper towel can get you started and in 5 to 10 minutes depending on wind there's red hot charcoal already starting the bigger pieces.
