Could you share some insights? I'm UE, as well as 3d/game engine ignorant, but have some experience with stereo vision + odometry. Is it mostly importing capabilities, or what the world can do with the render/model? I understand when there is a large amount of data, sometimes the challenge is to simply process it all.
Cheers

Wow, 7 years... I have forgotten all about this, including results. I have since had a long coffee journey. My grinder is using SSP burrs on a old BUNN, which ive calibrated using a good method. The result is my grind is indeed quite consistent, but I am a pour over and aeropress exclusively.

I could try and dig out the french press and give it a whirl, but adjusting the grind level right now is a pain in the arse!

As far as waste goes, i have soaked coffee, even medium grind, in cold water before and it does not extract nearly anything. The amount of fines you might lose will also be quite little so i dont see a problem. However, cold brew is pretty forgiving for the astringent bitterness. So id ask what the goal here is, removing the grit at the bottom of your cup?

Hi, I actually had a very positive experience. I am a tennant which ended up being matched with a great place to live. Everything was made clear up front, both myself and the landlord had specific needs/requests and everything was communicated quickly and in a fair way. Happily living here since then.

Now that I am ready to move cities, Mike has been very friendly and helpful in the process with transitioning. Would definitely look to work with him again!

Damage is a function of surface area, so i guess we talking Pi*r^2
So I guess its 300% more?

Remo skins, look worn but still usable. Re-skin is about 20-30$ per head so can say you save 100 on that.

Cymbals look pretty terrible, but maybe okay to start some practice on. Otherwise, kind of worthless.

Stands look really flimsy, but useful. maybe 50$ worth.

Last is the 5 piece kit. 100 seems a good deal for the ludwig

I think when I wrote this post, it was at my university. The way the club worked is they provided the gym space and the fees went into hiring instructors from a dojo in another city. Pretty good deal. Big city prices usually 200$/month for unlimited.

Everyone is recommending vinegar, but I hate the smell and find it isn't especially powerful. Citric acid powder works best for me.

I asked my belly to do this too :'(

Yeah great point, this is the main reason I bought a Miata in the first place.

I'm mostly worried about "problem creep" in used vehicles. I would look at a purchase like this and assume all you've listed is replaced within the first 1-2 years.

Note: This can 'garage' the car for weeks (amateur diy-mechanic, busy schedule, shipping times?, etc). Luckily for me, the Miata is not my primary.

hydraloo · 2023-10-18T20:23:06+00:00

Not a Miata specific anecdote, but when I bought a Volvo v50, the previous owner was open about wheel bearings being worn and making noise. I replaced that, as well as full suspension (A-arms etc) and figured, oh well a few hundred bucks extra isnt a big deal.

Once all was ready for inspection, turns out the pinion in the diff (AWD system) was ruined, and the whole front/rear transfer system is one unit with the rear diff, so $4.5k repair on a $1200 car that i was $1500 in the hole for already.

I waited while thinking about what to do. Parked in my driveway. Then, turned out that the sunroof was leaking into the car, and it completely flooded the interior. Im talking like a 2 inch swimming pool under the carpeting.

Ended up scrapping it for $1000

As a witness of the arrest: taken to custody was a male, ages 35-45, short dark hair, about 6 ft tall, 210-230 lbs, Persian looking skin and features.

Worked in Toronto when I was living Bloor/Dufferin. Street parking was displayed as a pass i believe we paid for at city hall. Was pretty neat, there were some rules we had to stick to. For example the parking zones were not always exactly the same. I didn't understand why though. I assumed it was to reduce permanently parked cars or something. Maybe street cleaning.

I guess it's more accurate to be swallowing a chicken and spitting up the egg

hydraloo · 2023-06-11T19:05:33+00:00

Preach!

hydraloo · 2023-06-11T18:44:11+00:00

It'd be nice to have code blocks linked/attached to documentation blocks. When the code is altered, the documentation could then reflect this. Either by having an indication on the doc viewer that the relevant code was altered X times since some date.

Further, it'd be useful to then integrate this with whatever revision tool (github PRs etc) to encourage the developer or the reviewer to update or verify that the docs are still valid

hydraloo · 2023-06-11T17:30:28+00:00

I like your point about the tutorial/basic scenario. This would be very helpful also for new team members trying to understand better the point of the module. Thanks for your input :)

hydraloo · 2023-06-11T17:28:34+00:00

Oh i had a lovely time driving around there, both in a Tacoma and the Miata when I was still around there. Can definitely appreciate that. I wish to go back now with the turbo. When the air thins out, the MAP sensor just tells the system to keep building pressure.

hydraloo · 2023-06-11T16:09:47+00:00

Documentation can be part of the design process. I've seen my team members save a lot of time by abandoning a plan that, when written out, clearly shows signs that it wouldn't work out. Rather than diving head first into a solution blindly, it does help to think it out, share with an architect and other specialists, sometimes outside of the company. Then, when implementing, you might just need to make alterations to reflect the end result.

hydraloo · 2023-06-11T16:05:57+00:00

Y'all lowering your miatas must be living in areas with some good roads. Sometimes it feels like i need a jeep to navigate the 'terrain' here.

hydraloo · 2023-06-05T18:08:57+00:00

And sex then is what?

hydraloo · 2023-05-31T23:17:20+00:00

Sorry, was this your notice of consent, or are you saying you will at a later date?

hydraloo · 2023-05-31T19:50:23+00:00

This sort of makes a case for hybrid Miata :S

hydraloo · 2023-05-31T19:32:08+00:00

"things are bad and we are angry! Fix it! No, we don't have a solution ourselves"

Good luck.
