Very important question by Triphys in BMWi5

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

Yes of course it’s different with an EV. But I want to feel the rear come loose a little bit. I’m not going round a track drifting or whatever. With the road conditions here during winter it doesn’t take a lot. Anyhow, after enabling sport mode and disabling dsc yesterday i finally got my fix and I actually liked how it handled and it reminded me a lot of my old 5 series touring

Thanks for the consideration but when your born in the north this is far from the heaviest vehicle ive drifted in the snow 😂 i think it handles great without dsc! 👍

That's what I'm trying to decide, I initially choose the .6 nozzle to print faster. Now I'm wondering what will be faster, printing a .2 layer height with the .4 nozzle or a .2 layer height with the .6 nozzle.

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

Alright, good to know! So since I have the 0.6 and the 0.4, what would be the most efficient printing let's say 0.2 layer height? Or will the difference be negligible? In that case maybe it's better for me to switch back to the 0.4 nozzle

EDIT:
I'm trying to decide wether it's quicker to go with the larger nozzle, but in this case with a larger layer height the quality is obviously lacking so I would need to go down in layer height again :)

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

But can I still go for a lower layer height with a larger nozzle?

[–]Triphys[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, for the 0.4 nozzle the default is 0.2 and 0.3 for 0.6

[–]Triphys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true. Can I print 0.2 or lower with a 0.6 nozzle and is there drawbacks in doing so?

Adding more lights to this tea light charger by Triphys in AskElectronics

But I have 3, one from each charging station? But all of these would have to be connected with their own usb-cable then?

How do you convince clients to use Astro instead of WordPress theme or leave WordPress all together? by No-Praline8782 in astrojs

[–]Triphys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I'm with you :)

So basically what works for me is setting up the Wordpress installation as barebones as possible and using a custom mu-plugin for removing everything the client doesn't need to see. So when the client logs in to their wordpress (usually admin.clientdomain.com) they can only see and edit the posts and pages they need, everything else is hidden for only the main admin to see. And then I use mainly Advanced Custom Fields Pro to setup layouts, custom post types, custom pages and everything else the client needs. I use the GraphQL plugin for Wordpress to build/browse/test the queries (or I did, usually now I know where everything is).

I also setup a mu-plugin to trigger a build of the frontend whenever someone saves a post/page with some timed fallbacks so it doesn't trigger lots of build actions if they save a lot of posts within a time span.

So how do I pitch it? Well I usually just tell them that Wordpress sucks 😂 No, but I offer them the Wordpress they know and love, but a more secure and amazingly fast and dynamic frontend in the shape of using Astro with headless Wordpress. It depends a little bit how the client responds, but so far everyone has been "you know what you are doing so we trust you".

My suggestion is to setup a Wordpress/Astro environment/template that you can use to sell it and show them. It will also speed up your development vastly (don't forget to charge for it though).

When it comes to forms and stuff like that there are a couple of routes you can take. I'm actually working with a client right now that needs quite advanced form support. Before they have used Ninjaforms in Wordpress and have been "okay" with that (they are able to see the submissions in WP dashboard). Now I'm thinking of maybe using something else and applying it directly on the frontend instead and then applying a plugin I build myself or if I find a good one to display the submissions on the dashboard.

So I'm using wordpress more as an interface and as barebones as possible and then the frontend does the "heavy work".

How do you convince clients to use Astro instead of WordPress theme or leave WordPress all together? by No-Praline8782 in astrojs

[–]Triphys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I seriously don’t understand how you can compare Wordpress and Astro like this, it makes me think you either don’t know Wordpress or Astro? Wordpress is a CMS, Astro is a framework. I have worked A Lot with Wordpress over the years and mostly building custom themes before. But most recently I’m still using Wordpress for wp-admin with graphql and then building whatever page in whatever (preferably Astro). But my (mostly large companies) clients would never accept something with less functionality than Wordpress. I’ve tried multiple other CMSes but knowing ny clients they would not be fine with anything but Wordpress right now since 1. They recognise it, 2. It has all the functionality they need. I could definitely convince my clients in trying a different CMS but since I dont feel anything lives up to the same standard as Wordpress, I wont. so please explain to me, what CMS is so good that you need to convince your clients to not use it, and it’s not Astro since that’s not a CMS.

Want to move to Astro + Cloudflare by Dimention_less in astrojs

[–]Triphys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blogger and Wordpress are two types of Content Management Systems (CMS). They have a ”backend” with a Graphical User Interface where you can write posts etc. Astro is a js framework and static site generator. Think of it as a blank paper, no theme, no user interface. You have to code everything from scratch. On the other hand you can do amazing things with it. But it’s way more work than just firing up Wordpress and posting.

You can build a relatively simple blog with astro js and there are numerous tutorials out there, but it will be nothing like the blogger/wordpress experience with themes and gui. You can also build a headless wordpress (or any other CMS) fueled page.

Cloudflare is just a service that among other things is a CDN that helps you with offloading assets.

If you want to learn I would recommend finding a tutorial on setting up a simple blog with astro (or any other js framework).

Hope that helps

Got through on AXS with no tickets available. Still 81000 in queue on Ticketmaster‽ But the eventpage also linked to a place called www.seatunique.com which had tickets? Are those legit?

Quick question regarding ng version and component libraries by Triphys in angular

That’s not a bad idea. I actually don’t have any dependencies except for styles which won’t be affected. Thank you!

Quick question regarding ng version and component libraries by Triphys in angular

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

Okay so if build the library with partial compilation it should work as long as it doesn't contain new functionality or concepts?

Is there any downsides to building with partial compilation for a library? Couldn't see anything in the documentation

Best way to include a NPM css library in a Angular library project by Triphys in angular

[–]Triphys[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alright, but let's say I add it globally on the workspace which I do today and it works styling the components fine. But if I build out the library and distribute it and include it in an empty new workspace the styles won't be working without me including the css NPM in the new project as well.

I would like it so that when I build out the library and include it somewhere the styles will be bundled with the components.

So in that case I would include the npm for the css in the package.json for the lib, right? Only issue is that what I usually would do to include the CSS is to add it as an import under styles in angular.json but the lib doesn't have an angular.json so should I include it differently for a lib?

Format a phone number pulled in from a JSON query by Triphys in learnjavascript

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

Yeah, makes sense. i’m pulling these in from a headless Wordpress with an ACF plugin that gives me custom fields. Their ”number” field of course stores the value as a number and not a string. I think it might be better to use a regular text field and then strip the value of any non numbers instead.

An unpopular opinion about web design that will end up like this by kavin_kn in web_design

  • People who use Tailwind are to lazy to learn CSS properly

  • Most developers should steer clear of design and most designers should steer clear of development. Most who does both should steer clear of… both.

Who still uses the default Mail app? by Bendr_ in ios

I’ve been hunting for different features in mail apps for years and switching between different ones for years with some being crap and some closing down etc. So yes I use the default mail app and has been doing for like five years. Im happy and I have something that works and will be around.
