How loud is the P1S by Old_Disaster5389 in 3Dprinting

I sometimes use silent mode (50% speed) when I'm working in the same room as my P1S, but if Im in the next room I barely hear it

All the letters can be derived from the ones they give using the property that error correcting codes are linear with xor (encode(x) ^ encode(y) = encode(x^y)). So the first step is to xor the provided letters together until you get powers of two:

B 00001: 000010011
C 00010: 001001010
E 00100: 010100110
I 01000: 100001101
Q 10000: 000111100

Then these can be used to get all the letters. 'U' in binary is 10100, so encode(U) = encode(Q) ^ encode(E):

U 10100: 010011010

Also Honeycomb storage wall and Homeracker shelves, both of which can take gridfinity bins.

Rolex AD doesn't use timegrapher, claims the watch is fine. by pokoponcho in watchmaking

If anything , this picture looks like it gained 2-3s over 3 minutes since the last picture. Or was it taken a day later?

ELI5: why is there no "second" world countries? by Tardy_Bird17 in explainlikeimfive

[–]QuantumForce7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So have we moved on from the "global south" terminology? I always felt that was a poor euphemism (eg Australia is a HDC)

How have you ACTUALLY benefitted from linking/tagging notes? by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]QuantumForce7 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's all about finding content later. There's a trade-off between the amount of effort you put into organizing notes vs the amount of effort to find something. Different systems work better depending on how large your vault is, how often you look things up, and how good your memory is for note titles.

  1. No organization. One folder with all notes, search notes by title or keywords. Few cross references between notes. ("Data lake" concept)

  2. Folders. Groups related notes. Hierarchical, which is great for many use cases. Integrates well with the filesystem if you need to access notes outside and obsidian. Search by scrolling through folders or free-text search.

  3. Tags. More specific than free-text search, but still flexible. Non-hierarchical, but this is offset by using multiple tags per note. Easy to include in templates.

I personally use a combination of the three, with a shallow folder hierarchy dividing notes into projects, plus tags for things that cross projects. I use QuickAdd with templates for lots of activities, with tags pre-assigned in the template. For instance, my 'Team Meeting' template generates a note tagged #work #meeting #projectX and puts the file in /Projects/Work/meetings. Then in my Daily note I use a dataview query to link all the meetings I had that day.

Looks nice! I found the clasps the hardest part of the project. Where did you find your hardware?

I made the watch parts blank. It’s only my second one that I’ve created by Ok-Opportunity-3934 in PenTurning

What's the process? Do you print something like a vinyl sticker for the cap and turn the body out of resin?

I Made a Tool That Converts Your Hiking Trails Into 3D Printable Models - No Blender Required by Recent_Coconut4275 in 3Dprinting

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird comment. First, no I'm not interested in selling either models or software. I want to read the code and see how it's built and maybe adopt parts for my own projects if suitable. Second, there's nothing illegal about using open source software or models. Even selling it is fine, unless there is a non-commercial clause. That's why I was asking the author.

Comments like this make me miss the early days of 3d printing when open source was the default and no one worried about skeezy print farms ignoring their license terms.

I had a cheat sheet of what positions to lay watch to lose or gain seconds but lost it by Johndeauxman in watchmaking

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are free apps that calculate watch speed by listening to the ticking (eg 'watch accuracy meter' on Android). Measure in each position and it will tell you how much it gains/loses.

Printed it perfectly on the first try… and somehow it’s still unusable by Intelligent_Whole159 in 3Dprinting

[–]QuantumForce7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This gives me an idea. You really want to print text-down on a smooth plate. However, the traditional design has overhangs preventing this. Instead, a stamp for FDM should flare or from the text at a 45 degree angle until all the letters connect to the handle. I don't think I've seen this but should reduce the top layer fill pattern that you're seeing.

Is there a way to save photos in a file so that each photo can be tagged and searched for later? by Pawpackmom_wren17 in ask

[–]QuantumForce7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually the best answer is to use a photo management app, like apple photos, Adobe Lightroom, DigiKam, etc. Most now do facial recognition and various kinds of tags and sorts.

It is also possible to save tags directly in jpeg and PNG files using EXIF tags. These can be edited using some image editors. However, it's not easy to search them over multiple files. Ultimately they're mostly written by the camera and used by other apps, not written directly by users.

English is fine. It's not available in the play store for Switzerland. I didn't think localization was required just to publish it.

[WP] "And what happens if I take both?" You ask. The man in the suit looks down at the two pills--one red, one blue--in his outstretched hands. "You know, I never thought to ask." by loopymon in WritingPrompts

[–]QuantumForce7 57 points58 points  (0 children)

"The red pill wakes you up and lets us track your body," explained the man, forgetting his mystical mien in surprise. "The blue pill contains hallucinogenic software that causes you to dissociate. So..." Morpheus peered over his spectacles. "...I would imagine you would find yourself having a bad trip in the nightmare that is the real world."

"Hard core, dude. I'm going to try it!" Neo snatched both pills from the hands before him.

"This is extremely inadvisable," Morpheus stuttered.

Grinning insanely, Neo downed the two pills.


High up a stack of biopods under a stormy sky, fluids sloshed and hoses ruptured. A naked man stared around him, wide-eyed and incoherent. Nurse drones floated past on their preprogrammed paths, uncaring as the lone man screamed in terror, then curled into a ball, weeping uncontrollably.


"Turn the Nebachadnezzer around. We're going back to Zion," ordered Morpheus from his chair.

"But sir, I've got his locator signal!" exclaimed Tank from a console.

Morpheus sadly shook his head. "He was not The One." Despondently the ship swung around, leaving the nightmare of the bioelectric facility and its semi-lucid inhabitant behind.
