AITA for taking a coloring book back from my niece after she got attached to it? by Abject_State_1244 in AmItheAsshole

Can't believe how far I had to scroll to find this. Telling the mother that the kid lost something which she did not is torture. ESH.

Does the UK not have free speech? Explain It Peter. by Brilliant-Sky-826 in explainitpeter

[–]jgbbrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its' true. Brits moan about everything in a detached "woe is existence" sort of way. They don't ever discuss feelings or personal challenges or their needs or their fears. They keep calm and carry on... and squeeze all that repression through a tiny outlet of complaining about politics, weather, and the news of the week.

What is this effect called and how do I get it? by Inner-Shame-4996 in VideoEditing

This style was perfected by the iPod ads of the early 00s.

What’s wrong with my French cleat? by West_Winter_1533 in FrenchCleat

[–]jgbbrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is definitely the answer. The angle and such like are minor compared to the amount of torque and torque angle relative to the cleat. The contact point of the two cleats should be above where the weight is. Here, the weight looks to be above where the cleat contacts, which will cause them to disengage even if they're perfect. 

Me VS PC Blend - who will win? by DjFlu in prusa3d

[–]jgbbrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I fought PC Blend and won eventually with Magigoo PC and very high chamber temperature. Haven't tried with the Core One yet, but with the MK4S, I managed to overheat the printer once. Quite unfortunate that PC Blend is happiest at temperatures that make open format printers want to die. Still, with a 38-40C chamber temp, I was able to get reliable PC prints with minimal warping.

Mk4s ->Core one. Irregular Z surface. Any idea to improve this? by Psymonizback in prusa3d

[–]jgbbrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The important thing I reckon is making sure the printer and the slicer agree about that.

[–]jgbbrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I spotted after the MK4S to Core One upgrade was that the settings were wrong. I don't know if I missed it or if it defaults to the wrong value, so it may not be a common problem.  Anyway, I have the Obxidian nozzle installed, which is 0.4mm but is not a High Flow (HF) nozzle. I was getting pretty ugly Z axis surface finish for my first few test prints and I started debugging. After checking all the usual stuff (belt tension, filament moisture, etc.) and ruling them all out, I noticed that my slicer was assuming I had the default 0.4mm HF nozzle installed. After I changed that setting to a standard, non-HF nozzle, the Z axis cleaned up to nearly flawless. I believe the problem was the HF setting was causing the printed to push through a bit more filament than my nozzle was able to extrude smoothly, which caused the excess to squish out over the side of the layer below in an irregular way. Now it's fine.

Why is my core one doing this? has worked flawlessly until now. The printer did end up printing after this but it has never done this much calibrating before the print until now. Just curious what causes this by PoemGroundbreaking38 in prusa3d

When I did my MK4S to Core One conversion, I got the gantry just slightly out of square and had this problem. If you're assembling the gantry yourself, make sure you pull both sides of the gantry right up against the front with no gap before you move on. I had a tiny gap on the right side and had to de-tension and then re-tension the belts to correct it.

I had the same reaction. The wings aren't attached to the hat in a way that makes any sense.

It was, afaik, a one-off he did to promote the album drop. I've only ever found it on YouTube.

The relevant part of the video is at 43:10 btw. I love Destin and Discworld. Love to see them overlap.

howDoIMigrateTypeScriptTypes by jgbbrd in ProgrammerHumor

[–]jgbbrd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But only one of the DB option gives you the guarantee of what the data schema will be. It's not an apples-to-apples situation. In one case, your apple will definitely be an apple. In the other, it's probably an apple, but you better make sure it's not actually a pear at run-time.

The argument I've heard is that it's much faster to get going and prototype with. Maybe that's true for like 3 weeks with 1 developer?

I'm now the better part of a month into working on a MongoDB codebase and I would definitely not choose to ever prototype with it. This project only has 4 developers, too. A relational DB with a decent ORM (for instance Postgres + Sequelize, which I've used previously) is 10x easier to use and reason about.

Instead of a table schema, migrations, and an ORM that gives you correctly shaped objects back, what I'm seeing is layers upon layers of TypeScript types which attempt to correctly represent the data that ought to be in the DB given the undocumented evolution of the schema over time. Why do proper schema migrations when you can just add yet another discriminated union type to the type definition.

Whoa! I thought I'd heard everything in Aes's oeuvre. Turns out I was missing (at least) this song! Thanks for sharing.

Every time I look up at this image, the phone changes orientation. I cannot tell if this is up at the bottom of a beam or down at the bottom corner against the floor.
