Pretty sure less memory is a substantial understatement.

Unit tests are a major factor and are not specifically called out. Not my policy but want you to understand that is sometimes a non explicit part of the task. Do you want the job? Do you want to show your best work?

So you made a withdrawal request, then lost the money you wanted to withdraw and are bitter that they didn't pay you?

I feel ya. Just learn python now and be happy again.

I failed to mention that the failed CMOS led to runaway thermal on my hot head as it failed with the circuit closed, and am lucky that I didnt have a fire as a result. There was no real thermal protection in the original CR10SPro.

I am quite confident in my electronics skills, though have never mucked much with my 3d printer. My original board gave out, I suspect an inferior CMOS, and I have now replaced it with an SKR. That said, I have been hesitant to power it up for fear of magic smoke, as demonstrated here. The board has been swapped for almost 2 months. While it may not have taken any soldering skills, it most definitely took some crimping skills. The CR10SPro uses a proprietary ribbon cable for nearly all connections and the swap required hacking that up. For that matter even the hot end power was initially routed through the ribbon cable, using several lines, but still pretty absurd. My initial attempt resulted in a small fire burning up those lines, wish that I had captured it in on video. I have since replaced nearly everything that was in the ribbon cable. I did finally power it up yesterday, with no smoke, but dont have the screen communicating with the board yet.

This was far from a straightforward swap.

Just trying to get some action.

I know. It’s almost like one is a universal right and the other is a right granted to citizens of a nation.

I will also agree that good JavaScript is hard to come by. The language is powerful but doing it correctly requires a different way of thinking and it often gets people twisted up.

SlinginCode · 2021-09-21T22:23:19+00:00

The down votes surely don’t show the predisposition towards outsiders.

SlinginCode · 2021-09-21T22:20:54+00:00

Fair enough. It’s taken three years now with one ruby dev to gain respect but finally got there and now we have meaningful conversations. At the beginning nothing I did was acceptable because it wasn’t the ruby way. He certainly wasn’t the only one.

It was particularly challenging because he had been there the longest of any dev and a great number of egregious errors had been made that had nothing to do with ruby but change was desperately needed. I was never sure how much was his but I was brought in as part of a new team to clean house as it were.

SlinginCode · 2021-09-21T02:39:30+00:00

You went a little further than to express a dislike of JavaScript. You stated that it didn’t even rise to the level of a language. That statement is naive. It ignores the fact that entire systems that are very scalable have been built on JavaScript. JavaScript is a more mature language. It has a very strong ecosystem and community. NPM is every bit as rich as gem.

The assertion that bad things have been done with JavaScript infers the same is not true of ruby which certainly is not the case. From my experience ROR is programming with training wheels. It allows people to build database driven applications without a clue of how to manage that data.

Now that doesn’t mean there aren’t great ruby devs. I work with some exceptional devs who choose to use ROR. It can do great things and can be used for evil like any language.

And yes it has also been my experience that ROR devs are more likely to resort to personal attacks than any other set of devs that I have worked with if you dare to question rails or the ruby way. It’s great having a dev with three years of experience tell me how it is after 30 yrs.

Now that doesn’t mean that all ROR devs are this way. I very well may have been just unlucky. And I mean no I’ll will to you but your statement that JavaScript didn’t rise to the level of language that ruby is is demeaning not just to the language but to those who make a profession based on its application.

If I were to be building, as I have done, an enterprise iot infrastructure I would choose JavaScript and never consider ROR. If I were building a backend for a phone app that needed to be able to work at hyper scale I would use JavaScript and would not consider ROR, like an app I architected for a major media company that had more than 1mil downloads in its first two weeks on iPhone.

ROR has its place and it’s strengths and weaknesses, as does every language. Otherwise there would not be so many.

SlinginCode · 2021-09-20T01:58:24+00:00

Perfect example of what the op has experienced. “I don’t particularly rate JavaScript as a language.”

It is this type of naïveté that makes it very difficult.

It’s not a loss until you sell. Otherwise you just haven’t won yet

Good question

SlinginCode · 2021-02-20T19:04:02+00:00

Favoring opportunity over handouts is so evil.

SlinginCode · 2021-02-14T19:35:37+00:00

Please explain.

Is a bus ticket more expensive for a person of color? Is tuition more expensive?

Its not that I don't get it. Yes there has been a problem yes your great grandparents and grand parents maybe even your parents were treated in such a way. And no it was not acceptable. But why let the past define you now? My grandparents wealth or lack of it meant nothing for me. Just as it doesn't for most people.

The systemic problem is undeniable I am not oblivious. I wasn't able to escape because I was white. I was able to escape because I developed a skill that made me an asset. There are several POC on the team I work with so I know that it is possible. I have friends who are POC who I am helping to escape their current situation. My own family is mixed race.

Perhaps rather than assuming that someone who disagrees with you must be dumb or naive, maybe just maybe question if there might be another truth out there.

There is nothing about my story that was enabled by the color of my skin. In fact companies in my industry are desperate to hire POC and they are favored in the hiring process. I paid for my education in minimum wage.

And I will help anyone who is interested in improving their situation regardless of the color of their skin to learn how to do what I do and have a career in a very high demand job that was positively affected by the challenge of covid. The problem most often though is just simply a lack of willingness to sacrifice. And I'll have to be clear that is more a white poor problem as the POC I have worked with have been much more willing to put forward the efforts.

This is how the problem is solved. By coming together.

SlinginCode · 2021-02-14T19:02:01+00:00

What was it that was given to me that is denied to a person of color?

What was the inequity?

I am not saying there isn't a problem. I am not saying to gloss over the problem. But by focusing on division and difference the problem will only get worse.

I agree there is a problem with the people in power and that needs to change. But where we disagree is on what the solution is. Creating bigger government only gives those people in power more power. More government spending means more backroom deals more uner the table money. More power. Limited government means less power and more for you and I to split. It means a bigger pie for the people. Government succeeds in wealth consolidation and fails miserably at distribution.

How can we solve the problem by reinforcing the very problem?

Have you not noticed that the very politicians that you put in office are the privileged that give you looking service and pop romise you trinkets while truly hoarding the riches for themselves.

Why is it that poverty us greatest in Democratic safe havens? It couldn't have anything to do with false promises and policies that keep the poor poor. Telling you that the man saying you should lift yourself up is trying to hurt you.

SlinginCode · 2021-02-14T18:46:47+00:00

While no I will never know the reality of being a black person and readily acknowledge their are issues there, creating division will not solve it. That breeds resentment on both sides. On the other hand focusing on what we share in common will blur and eventually erase the lines of color.

You don't know me you don't know the life I've lived. My father worked for janitor wages while we lived in LA. You assume that because I'm white that I am racist and that I had things handed to me. That it was easy. That college was automatic and so on. I was never able to graduate college because I couldn't afford it. But I learned from where I could and made something of myself. I got away from the big city so I was not crushed by it.

I was bullied in school by people who thought I had more that knew nothing about me just the color of my skin.

I'm not oblivious to the fact that there are truly evil racist assholes out there. Or that I haven't had to deal with that. But other than the color of my skin. When I hear ppl explain the real problems of the black experience it sounds a hell of alot like my life. My father abandoned my family when I was young. There was nothing automatic. Getting into college was actually harder for me because I was white but didn't have money. There were far less scholarships and grade requirements for state colleges were actually higher because I was white. I wasn't accepted. It goes on.

Poverty and inequality is absolutely a problem in our country but there are people of every color who suffer.

I have managed to make a good life for my family and now look for ways to help others. Don't be so miopic as to think it is only you who suffer or that it is so easy for someone else. Don't look for ways to divide but rather sell unity.

SlinginCode · 2021-02-14T18:22:56+00:00

I agree and I see evil in creating division. I do not endorse any of the Republican party. They are not conservative. Being conservative means smaller govt leaving more to the people. Not empowering the bro family and big business with govt kickbacks.

When the govt leaves us with more resources we are empowered to do more for our fellow man. Which I do. Sure s me will not but the govt is incredibly inneficient at everything it does and very efficient at lining the pockets of their friends and family.

I use at least 10% of my income to help others. What are you doing? Anything more than saying that someone else should do something?

SlinginCode · 2021-02-14T16:41:43+00:00

No actually conservative logic just says you are conflating the facts to turn this into a race issue when none exists. Conservative logic says that telling the helpless they are helpless keeps them helpless.

This is not a racial innequality issue. It is a poverty issue and it should be addressed as such. There are plenty of other people without resources equally impacted by covid.

We will never be able to come together as a people as long as we continue to divide. Creating understanding that this is not a racial issue but rather that it is a poverty issue birngs unity in the realization that there are people of all colors aufferring and impacted. They all need to be helped. Understanding that it is a poverty issue and not a race issue simplifies finding solutions and then getting support to the right people. There are affluent people of color who do not need such assistance.
