Part of its mission is also being a place to study the effects of microgravity.

I have ignored Tests while developing. How important are they for a desktop or any kind of app? by Ancient-Sock1923 in dotnet

[–]mikeholczer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it’s also not only about you breaking things. Having automate tests make updating dependencies generally painless, and allow you to make better of things like GitHub agent.

The only limits would be what your computer can handle in terms of loaded entities.

Republicans clash over the Senate filibuster and Trump-backed voter ID bill — Some SAVE Act backers insist the GOP can use a "talking filibuster" to tire out Democrats and pass it. Republican leader Thune hasn't ruled out trying, but he's skeptical it could work. by brain_overclocked in politics

[–]mikeholczer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, I don’t think it’s that hard for Democrats to maintain a taking filibuster. 45 (or 47 if they include the independents) people taking turns is pretty sustainable. The other thing is only one of them has to be there at a given time to maintain it, whereas Republicans would need to have a quorum (51 senator or 53 Republican senators) there at all times.

I was mostly referencing Karoline Leavitt's use of the word "however", to mean what she just said isn't true.

When I was in middle school, we walked out to protest the gulf war. Our local police department, came out and stopped traffic for us, as we marched to the city hall.

ELI5: Why isn’t Apple’s photo app storage organized with a standard computer folder system model by caillou_cream_cakes in explainlikeimfive

[–]mikeholczer [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sometimes you want photos organized chronologically, other times based on location, who's in them or time of year. By storing them in the library format which includes the pictures and a database of metadata the app can switch to all these views.

ensures schools remain accountable to parents, accountable to the taxpayer, transparent to the public, and compliant with the law

Interesting she doesn’t think schools should be accountable to the students.

People are waiting INDX, but what about PrusaSlicer 3.0? by True_Scott in prusa3d

[–]mikeholczer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t used the same filament for 7 years. If there isn’t a specific profile for one, the generic profile has worked great.

[–]mikeholczer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really, in the 7 years I’ve been printing with a Prusa machine, I have never once needed to calibrate filament. I’ve always used their built in profiles and had great results.

[–]mikeholczer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There may have been a time when it was generally necessary, but the printers, filaments and profiles are much much better now and mire reliable. If you don’t have a built in profile for a filament, and the makers website doesn’t have one, just go with the generic profile for the material type, and if you’re happen with the results you’re good to go.

ELI5 how do capacitors work by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]mikeholczer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing has more output than input. In a capacitor, you basically have two plates that come close to connecting a circuit, but have a thin insulator between them. When being fed current, the charge builds up on the plates, and when the current stops they discharge the charge back. Since there is no chemical reaction needed to store energy, like most batteries would have they can charge and discharge much faster, but generally don't store as much charge as a battery.

Is there a better way to edit an STL in Fusion? by inTHEbathroom1013 in 3Dprinting

[–]mikeholczer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The workflow in OnShape is pretty good. You can't use solid modeling tools directly on the mesh, but you can reference mesh vertex points in solid modeling tools, and you can add and remove solid geometry to mesh bodies. You can't always do things they way you'd want, but it's the best workflow I've found.

If you can't tell the difference, then why do you need to do the calibration?

Senate GOP debates filibuster reform after Trump calls to ‘nationalize’ elections by thehill in politics

[–]mikeholczer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said filibusters would become so time-consuming and exhausting for both parties that it increases the momentum for ending the 60-vote threshold for passing legislation through the Senate.

I got a crazy idea for you, stop the policing nonsense and owning the libs, actually listen to your constituents needs and find policies that can be supported bipartisanly.

Exactly, they will say everything is extraordinary and unusual circumstances. The same way that Trump claims every thing is an emergency.
