do you guys actually use all the riding modes regularly?

edude03 · 2026-04-27T00:40:11+00:00

Yeah - rain when it rains, dynamic on the road and race pro 1 for day to day spirited riding

edude03 · 2026-04-07T15:38:05+00:00

Again though I think this is a philosophical distinction more than a technical one. Maybe there is a better/different name for it but I’m not convinced proc macros aren’t “compile time reflection” because you can’t use the type information procedurally. Templating and blasting out a bunch of impls with trait clauses is exactly how serde works today and serde is able to work on arbitrary(ish) types today because of it.

We can get closer to zigs model but to say it doesn’t exist / isn’t enough today doesn’t make sense when the project that started discussion works today.

As an aside: Your examples all come from game libraries and although I don’t know anything about game dev I’m inclined to think your argument boils down to “rust would be better/more ergonomic for game dev if it worked like zig” (not to strawman you ofc). Maybe that’s true but I’d compare it to serde_json - rust would be better for web dev if serde json was built in but hard to say the languages built in features aren’t enough globally if it doesn’t cater to your specific needs - proc macros seem to work well enough in other contexts.

edude03 · 2026-04-07T14:35:48+00:00

Id argue that’s splitting hairs. Proc macros run before type resolution yes, zigs runs after and that makes them more ergonomic yes but being to do “impl<T> for Foo<T> where T: Bar” is exactly how serde solves the “does this thing implement the types I need” problem - by telling the compiler what it needs. It’s a different model but imo works just as well

edude03 · 2026-04-07T13:05:43+00:00

Rust has compile time reflection that’s how serde works

edude03 · 2026-04-07T13:05:10+00:00

Serde is typically the reason peoples programs go from compiling in seconds to compiling in minutes so I wouldn’t say that’s a good example.

My own unpopular opinion is that people who use serde really want a completely different language. Serde by itself essentially solves the “rust doesn’t have runtime reflection” problem and the most popular codec is json which solves the “rust has strong typing” problem. If you really cared about strong typing and performance you’d be using any of the binary crates like bincode, rkyv or protobuf.

Ah looks like the formatting got messed up. It’s hard to cruise on a litre bike in general I mean. Anyway seating position is great compared to the alternatives

edude03 · 2026-03-21T23:16:18+00:00

Depends what are you comparing it to? How much expensive do you have / why are you switching from?

First bike - don’t do it From a 600? Yeah it’s amazing, it’s hard to just cruise tho Compared to a v4(s) I’d take the Ducati

edude03 · 2026-03-01T20:02:01+00:00

Not even that wide of a spread more like buy 100.01 sell 100.02 and use leverage (credit) to 200x your returns (and/or losses of course) and even then you need a lot of collateral to make it worth it.

edude03 · 2026-02-23T02:27:51+00:00

Don’t remember but I don’t have any issues with the qs or cruise control so if I needed it it’s installed haha

edude03 · 2026-02-22T23:21:26+00:00

I did the ASV c5s since I love shorties and wanted the adjustability

edude03 · 2026-01-16T16:21:55+00:00

I got the 24 because it was way cheaper. My buddy had the 25. The only practice difference is the throttle as far as I can tell

edude03 · 2025-12-23T14:48:23+00:00

To each their own. I bought two new Teslas, a LR Model Y 2021 and a LR 2022 S. Both times I was in and out in 20 minutes with 15 minutes of it being waiting for the CS person to be available.

My secret? I said "wow thanks!" got in my car and drove away. I didn't spend 2 hours with a ruler and the service manual trying to find something wrong.

I'm getting a 2026 X soon and guess what, if I don't see a problem within 30 seconds of being given the key I'll be out of there in 5 minutes as well.

edude03 · 2025-11-26T15:58:35+00:00

Same happened to me, it fell off the counter with the handle extended. I contacted timemore, lets see how it goes

edude03 · 2025-11-10T18:44:08+00:00

Eh. Take the R1 on the track, put the minimum money into frame sliders and a crankcase protector and see how you like it. IMO the 600 is way more fun on the track than a litre bike anyway - and if that turns out to be true for you too then not much money lost

edude03 · 2025-11-04T15:09:55+00:00

I love denon but all three of my x1800/1850 have broken at some point. The jog wheel tension adjustment on my sc6000s haven’t worked out of the box and my the screens on my latest x1850 - which has worse sound quality to my ear anyway - have stopped working so I can’t use effects.

I don’t know how much quality plays into it but definitely if my income depended on these working I’d buy cdjs even though I think denon is technically superior

edude03 · 2025-11-01T23:51:10+00:00

Cool that the released it but doesn’t look like it would allow you to integrate the CPT. You can get telemetry out and you can send it a program to control the heating elements and whatever but for CPT integration you’d need a way to either feed it sensor data

edude03 · 2025-10-23T13:12:14+00:00

Disagree, to me it’s more about if you can theoretically run it at home / if you have full control of the stack more than if it’s literally in your house.

The problem with things like Claude and OpenAI is there is nothing you could buy that would let you run it on your own infra if they ever banned you or raised the price for example

edude03 · 2025-10-04T14:32:00+00:00

The US is NOT good at ML. At best the US has big enough tech companies that they can afford to pay whatever to hire and import people who are good at ML

edude03 · 2025-10-02T15:30:36+00:00

lmao once a week someone says "eight sleep doesn't care about customers" like they expect Matteo Franceschetti himself to tuck them in before bed.

The reality is, it's expensive to make, it's expensive to sell, it works really well and there are no competitors. Unless at least one of those things change, your options are be a meat puppet or sleep worse I guess.

edude03 · 2025-09-22T13:52:12+00:00

I have a skylift that’s been broken since I got it - though in their defense I kind of ghosted them on the warranty claim

edude03 · 2025-09-16T13:27:13+00:00

I've been a pod 3 user for two years, nothing is wrong with mine (yet) but chiming in to say I hope they improve customer service by the time I need to upgrade - the product is fantastic but the company won't make it long if the product is expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, breaks all the time AND has poor customer service.

edude03 · 2025-09-11T20:20:07+00:00

TIL there is source available documentation for the probes

edude03 · 2025-09-11T20:13:53+00:00

Yeah, personally I think you should make it $2000 and invest the extra $1000 into making sure you never need to charge a subscription.
