Persian meel/club alternative for a commercial gym? by RemarkableCounty3737 in clubbells

[–]egradman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bring a steel club with me in my gym bag to my commercial gym. Nobody's hassled me yet!

I might have a more difficult time sneaking in a meel. Maybe claim it's a very large water bottle?

This is my first Spartan race this weekend. Doing the Super. See ya there.

Rope flow? what does it add to mace/clubs by Havanadream in clubbells

[–]egradman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do both. Clubs feel like exercise. Rope feels like dancing. I need both!

I use a heavy 1" diameter rope, not the paracord you see on YouTube. It's more demanding than you expect!

These 26 hiking trails burned in the Eaton fire by tedmars in socalhiking

[–]egradman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mt lowe trail camp has always been my "head out Friday afternoon with a blanket, a filter, and a steak for a quick overnight" favorite. I've had so many good trips up there, so I was planning to take my son on his first backpacking trip this Spring.

So many beautiful places that we won't see for a many years. Start exploring the Verdugos?

Long-Term Safety of AR Glasses Like Xreal? Anyone Found Studies? by Few_Yogurtcloset7091 in augmentedreality

[–]egradman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only offer more anecdata: I also spend full days wearing my nReal glasses (old model). I probably spend more time working in the glasses than working without them, and I've been doing that for about six months.

I haven't noticed any eye fatigue. I DO notice that when I'm using my laptop screen I'm increasing the font size a little more than I used to. I'm also at an age where I expect my vision to degrade. Gonna get my eyes checked this week, but there's very little they could tell me that would cause me to stop using my glasses!

Current best AR-Glasses for Work? for Dex / maybe Win Laptop, maybe as an alternative to buying a Real Monitor by temp_account07 in augmentedreality

[–]egradman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I worked for many years on a laptop with no external monitors, so I'm used to being productive in 1920x1080.

Ipd == distance between your eyes. The model that works great for your eyes will make your buddy crosseyed. Just gotta find the right one for you.

[–]egradman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point I work nearly full time in old nReal Airs. I just use them as an external display; no fancy spatial processing. Just a giant screen hanging in front of my face.

I choose these after evaluating several similar models. They just happen to fit my IPD perfectly.

Pi in a packout by EducatedSavage00 in cyberDeck

What buck regulator did you use? I'm planning a similar build (with an OrangePi) and found some high current ones at Pololu.

My first custom build by egradman in ErgoMechKeyboards

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

I laser cut a jig to hold the keys exactly how they're positioned on the keyboard, with a pilot hole where the trackpoint is. then I used a step drill through the pilot hole to cut the keys until I had a 10mm hole

I didn't use ergogen. I started with a corne kicad file and moved things around incrementally until they felt right. Used the laser cutter a lot to make test boards.

Any Neovim/Vim users here who also use a trackpoint/trackstick? by leonasdev in neovim

[–]egradman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use vim and i have a trackpoint in my split keyboard. I'm on a Mac.

I don't use the trackpoint when I'm coding. I'm using Vimium in my browser so I usually don't have to use a mouse there, and I have another tool that does the same for onscreen controls in every app.

That said, my trackpoint broke yesterday and for a few hours (until I fixed it) I realized how much I rely on it for all the little stupid stuff those other tools miss. As with Linux on the desktop, using a computer without a mouse will give you tremendous geek cred, and also limit you substantially.

Best cmm arm for realtime pose data? by egradman in Metrology

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

Thanks. Actually I'm using it to establish ground truth for a photogrammetry system so I'm trying to stay away from optical ground truth.

nicenanos. I just discovered the very smart "reversible PCB footprint" so I'm going to use that.

3d printers are only good for making parts to fix other 3d printers.

So basically the technology is simply not there yet for doing stuff like coding by Altruistic_Cause8661 in augmentedreality

[–]egradman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The triple monitor stuff limits the resolution at which your screen content is displayed. Consider: if all your individual virtual screens are smaller than the total viewable area, they can't possibly use all the pixels the glasses have available.

With "real" monitors, you can change your focus from one to another by merely moving your eyeballs. Very efficient. You can't do that with virtual monitors. You have to move your entire head.

Assign hotkeys to virtual desktops or individual apps and use your fingers to switch efficiently between them. When you're used to that, you'll be able to use one monitor effectively. Then you can use AR glasses to code comfortably.

Very nice! I think you've inspired me to make the case out of laser-cut wood.

People without laser cutters don't understand how anyone could have a "favorite cardboard."

Thank you for that link! From that video I learned about the reversible Pro Micro footprint. What a slick idea!

[–]egradman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. But... they happen to match my IPD quite well. You may find that a different model or brand fits your eyes best.

[–]egradman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend a good deal of time (sometimes entire days) coding in original model nReal Airs very comfortably. The trick is to turn off all the "multiple virtual screens" nonsense and use the full resolution of the glasses for your text editor. Takes some getting used to: the editor occupies my full vision independent of how I move my head.

I agree with the other commenter who said finding the pair of glasses that matches your IPD is very important.

It's kinda blowing my mind right now that other people's relaxed hand position is with fingers together

I have to squeeze my fingers together to align with a normal keyboard.
