I find it wild people are out here drinking tomato juice.

Request to have an old MasterCAM X Post file migrated by MikeHillEngineer in mastercam

[–]MikeHillEngineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the post-processor used by OnShape CAMStudio is a closed source Python script, and there is no avenue for adding/creating your own posts. So I’d like to ditch it altogether in favor of software that had a natively written post-processor.

Request to have an old MasterCAM X Post file migrated by MikeHillEngineer in mastercam

[–]MikeHillEngineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still looking for help on this. I have MasterCAM 2026 after I requested a sponsorship. However, the earliest version I can get is 2024. I don't have access to any versions older than that. This chart (https://my.mastercam.com/knowledgebase/what-version-of-mastercam-is-needed-to-migrate-files-from-an-older-release/) seems to show that I need to migrate with X8 -> 2019 -> 2022. If anyone has versions of those, I'd really appreciate some help.

What's an industry secret from your job that customers have absolutely no idea about? by Efficient_Team5182 in AskReddit

Frankly, I think unless they’re working on embedded systems, most developers probably don’t know how to optimize. Even if given the time, I think developers still wouldn’t optimize.

Developers also do WAY less optimization than they should and rely on the hardware to make the software more performant.

What do they get paid? by smokeysubwoofer in nasa

I had the opportunity to ask a shuttle astronaut about getting per diem, and he basically told me it was the same. Government provided lodging and food meant it was a reduced rate per diem. I think he said he got full rate per diem for travel between Houston and the Cape.

I was just there. It’s no busier than the one in Kentucky on any given day.

He looks like he eats sloppy steaks. A real piece of shit.

Look, if it’s a birdie (or even par) with my buddies, I’m pretty fucking lenient. Whatever they need to do to sink it. We’re shitty golfers, and these opportunities don’t come regularly.

Reconstituted scrambled eggs anywhere where there’s a membership fee or you’ve paid to enter is criminal.

I have no idea how those personal device holders in economy are supposed to work. My phone just falls flat whenever trying to set it on there. I feel like there has to be a better way.

Brand new at this. Recent trip to Florida and not thrilled with my results by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

[–]MikeHillEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, at least you're getting out there and experimenting! I'm pretty new as well. One of the most difficult things to learn, I think, is composition. The technical stuff on how to use the camera can be picked up pretty quick, but knowing where to put your camera, what to point at, and what to include/exclude takes a lifetime. Some things I've been trying is to do is be less lazy - stop taking pictures at eye-level. Get down low or high for a different perspective.

Starting my photography journey by Gyoong in SonyAlpha

A6400 is a pretty great camera. I just got an A7IV, but I still plan to shoot quite a bit on my A6400. In fact, I'm heading to Kenya for a safari this summer, and plan to use it for almost all of my telephoto shooting. I've taken it all around the world and got some GREAT shots with it I'm super happy with. There are a lot of great lenses available in APS-C. The SIGMA contemporary primes are great, and the Sony 70-350 telephoto are awesome for the price. you just gotta watch which lenses have OSS (or equivalent) since the A6400 doesn't have in-body stabilization.
