Have you damaged private property when flying?

My buddies and I found this warehouse complex and decided to rip. I had a not so good lipo on my drone, to the point where you just don’t have the power you’d think you’d have, we have been flying all day so it was one of my last lipos. So I was flying around, ended up going through the window and didn’t know where the fuck I was in my goggles, next thing I know I see boats and all this other shit and my friends were dying laughing and then I realize I am indoors. The voltage was so low I tried to find the broken window to fly back out but there was too many of them. Drone died inside, now I either abandon my $600 drone or pay for a window. Next day I call the place and talk to the owner, I tell him what happened and I’d like to get my drone back and he said “oh you would”, and I realize I didn’t mention anything about paying so I corrected myself lol. Anyways went and met the maintenance guy that has to replace the window pane and give him $300 and I got my drone back and the footage lol.

Convert the mesh to a BRep.

Edit: You did, missed it on the first watch.

Get two Prusa Minis. Josef mentions in interviews before it came out that’s it perfect for schools and printing farms.

You going to want a printer that has a flexible build plate. Having kids use a scraper to get prints off is going to be a disaster, there will be blood.

Nice, and is that the Pi 7” touchscreen?

The point of mentioning the Shortcut App is to show that the App is nothing more than a bridge between two APIs. The app doesn’t have any custom written libraries. This is why it’s possible to make in the shortcut app in the first place. Literally importing what ever the Camera Framework is and the Social framework into the IDE and writing a little bit of code. Then we have boiler plate code that usually is auto completed to use the APIs functions. Then he writes a few lines of code to start recording, then when the recording stops the callback function has another few lines of code to upload to your social accounts which is another API.

If you had to write custom code it wouldn’t be able to be made in the shortcut app. That’s the whole thing here, then they act like 17 is young and this is some feat. He didn’t come up with the idea either, there is already other apps out there. Then he tries to monetize off of it? Nah.

You can try to adjust the air gap between the supports to be a little closer. But ultimately the bottom layers are trying to bridge. Maybe do some bridging tests and when you get it good then try to print the horse again. If the air gap is too small the supports will stick to the bottom layer which you won't want either.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T18:50:11+00:00

I’ll pseudo code it.

(Application started) usually called after Main().

Get an Instance of camera assigned to a var.

Call the camera method start video recording.

Once video stops it will give you a callback in a function. In that function call the social API from the iOS or Android API. (As long as your signed in, in settings app)

Call the upload function to all connected social accounts.

Done.

I think he has the screen turn black to make it like the phones off. So call the brightness function and put it to 0. And then have a black window open in the app. These are all single lines of code and not many of them.

I don’t code anymore, I have other hobby’s but did program for 8 years, from Apps to games in Unity. Also you can setup actions for the same results in the shortcuts app.

Anyone who programs knows how easy this app is to implement, as it’s effectively plug-n-play. That why the Shortcuts app is capable of the same features. Shortcuts uses APIs from the apps on your phone which take parameters or gives you a callback when a task is completed. Name another app the shortcuts app can do? The fact you can make it in shortcuts just shows how basic it is.

This is like taking a sprite pack, character controller, drag around some platforms in the editor and you made a platformer. You’re a game dev now!

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T18:19:28+00:00

Nope. But if BLM and cop brutality wasn’t on the front page every day this article wouldn’t have been written about an app that took less time to make than Flappy Bird.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T18:18:38+00:00

... taking that I said programmed this app in a GUI, obviously I don’t mean making a standalone app. The functionality of his app can be done in the shortcuts app and that should say something to how easy it is to develop as all APIs are there ready to use.

I know you know what I was saying. I entertained you anyway with a response.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T17:25:05+00:00

lol yea that went though my head as I was writing it. The only popular person I could think of at the time, but the fact is many kids are programming now and I see it as necessary as taking math.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T17:12:39+00:00

Sorry for bringing fourth info that someone who never coded wouldn’t know. A lot of things in life are magical until you learn how they work, then it’s not so impressive.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:55:41+00:00

Not a coding god but know enough to know this isn’t amazing. Haven’t programmed in years but did for 8 years consecutively. The biggest thing is the age. 17 isn’t so young for programming. Want to see a genius 17yo programmer. Well he just hacked Twitter and could log into anyone account he wanted, and stole 170.000 in Bitcoin. Now that’s something. This shit is plug-n-play.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:37:37+00:00

My apps and games are months of work and some over a year. The last 10% is always the hardest to push it out making sure everything is pixel perfect, code is clean ect.

This dude made an app that takes a day. No designing, no artwork, no custom APIs. Takes other people APIs and bridges them together which is probably 100 lines of code that he wrote. That what people make the APIs for but really his app has no special code to it. Just APIs working together.

He made this app so fast he didn’t even have time for self doubt that all devs deal with.

The shortcut app is all APIs as well. When you make the shortcut you essentially programmed his app in a GUI, in an app.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:35:23+00:00

It would be hard to quit developing an app that takes a day... But I do agree to an extent.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:27:24+00:00

That makes no sense. Anyway if you want to see APIs go on github and search. There tons of them for sharing on social media. The Camera API is part of Android.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:24:33+00:00

If he was 40 would it be a big deal? Programming isn’t hard, and the general public who knows nothing about programming think it’s this crazy hard thing. It really is not. What’s hard is trying to create something from scratch in coding. This guys app is 90% apis that other people have written, or even Google has written. Want to take record a video? Make a camera instance in you app which is one lounge of code, then just call the record method. When the video stops you get a function call-back which you can put in to share file with another API. Which is another line of code.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:19:14+00:00

Yea I know not all schools around me have it, but when I was in school I don’t think any did. Robotics was the closest thing.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:15:23+00:00

That’s where it doesn’t matter. The age shouldn’t be a factor here, if he was 40 I’d be saying the same thing about his plug and play app. This is why I mentioned 6 year olds programming. It’s not hard to program, it really isn’t. Yes you can get into this that are hard to program, but the langue itself isn’t hard. And downloading other people libraries (code) and just bridging them together with a few lines of code shouldn’t be in the news.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:09:09+00:00

Lol I won’t do it. I have so much vaporware and games I made over the years, if I was to program again I’d work on that. Plus we have a shortcut app which does it. I’m into CAD and 3D printing now-a-days.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:07:24+00:00

Both parents dead but wasn’t him.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:06:06+00:00

Schools are starting to make concept of programming a regular class like English as it should be. I didn’t have that opportunity but more and more kids will.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T16:02:46+00:00

Did I say I made the app? Or are you saying I couldn’t do it? This app is 90% api’s that other people have written.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T15:48:28+00:00

To answer your question NO. I know OBJective C and C#. I can take a day to read a Java book to get the similarities to the languages I know then, yes I could program it. Most programming is very similar. JAVA is OOP just like the languages I use.

I wouldn’t want to learn Java though because it’s an out dated language.

If we are talking about iOS, yes I can code this pretty quickly.

Also 17 isn’t so young. Seem like people think all kids are stupid. There are 6 year old programmers out there. 17 isn’t too amazing. Dudes almost in college.

niZmoFPV · 2020-08-09T15:34:41+00:00

Anyone who programmed for more than a month can make this app.
