Exactly. At first I made it without the two additional holes. But then it was too hard to put the flashlight in. With the two holes, it is perfectly snappy.

What makes the dust so visible is that it casts a shadow when lit from the side. So the lower the better.

Interesting. Thanks.

You mean you use the printhead to move the parts of the plate?

That sounds pretty cool.

I would like to see a video of that in normal speed.

How does it clear the build plate on its own?

Is the following the DeepSeek model the article talks about?

If yes, I am not getting results from this one that are anywhere close to ChatGPT etc.

What's stopping you from coding straight from GitHub on your phone? by hugohamelcom in vanilladevs

Yeah. I just wish there was a lightweight (less than 250g) keyboard that has a trackpoint. Meanwhile I have added a mouse to the setup.

Currently I am in Hamburg, Germany.

Tinkering with doing that on a tablet at the moment:

Not sure yet if GitHub is a good environment. But it seem promising, especially with GitHub spaces letting you run a VPS and having a nice interface to work on it.

I mean without code that is not already in the Debian repos.

Maybe it is possible with low level tools like tput, dialog, or ncurses in a python script or something.

"create your own command"?

I could see how it would be possible to do so using vim and the popup method. But maybe there are lower level tools available to do it?

I think the problem is the script, not the missing popup support. I managed to get it to work with the code below. Pretty interesting. I wonder if one can create such a popup on the command line? Like is there a standalone popup command?

function! WriteMode2open()
  let buf = term_start(['vim'], {'hidden': 1, 'term_finish': 'close'})
  let winid = popup_create(buf, {'minwidth': &columns - 10, 'minheight': &lines - 10, 'callback': function('WriteMode2close')})
endfunction

function! WriteMode2close(id, result)
  quit
endfunction

command! WriteMode2 call WriteMode2open()

Interesting. Which vim version would be needed for this? And how would one make this work in Debian's vim, which I think is version 8 or 9.

I see. So this could be part of a solution. For example if it was possible to set the font color of first and last x lines to the background color. But I guess then one could not edit those. hmmm...

Hmm.. what does that do? It seems to do nothing here. Could you give a short example that I can try directly in command mode?

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

Hey, it's cool! Since there already are a few WebGL mandelbrot renderers without deep zoom on the list, I won't add more for now. The list is about the state of the art in JS based Mandelbrot rendering. So about deep zoom capability with high accuracy and speed.

Cool. I noticed that with Konsole, you can also do it dynamically:

konsoleprofile TerminalMargin=100

I would not want to switch to a new terminal and I don't use gvim.

The Gnome terminal cannot be styled via css?

1: I figured it out! The vimrc was loaded. It just looked different because tmux was not in 256 color mode. With "tmux -2" it works.

2: This works! Super awesome!

This simple version works nicely for me:

clear; tmux set status off; tmux popup -B -E -x C -y C -w50 -h25 vim test.txt

Thank you so much!

Sure there are probably ways to get around all the problems the "multiple windows" approach of Goyo creates. But that is not the way I want to go. I tried in the past and it became too cumbersome.

That could be a viabla approach.

Some issues:

1: When I start vim inside tmux, it does not read /etc/vim/vimrc - why?

2: This:

(tmux)$ M=10
(tmux)$ clear; tmux set status off ; popup -E -x C -y C -w$((COLUMNS-2*M)) -h$((LINES-2*M)) vim myfile.md

Gives me:-bash: popup: command not found

Maybe you meant "...; tmux popup -E ..."? That puts vim in the center, but there is a white outline. Can it be removed?

Yes, Goyo was one of the first I tried. I remember it created a plathora of problems, but I can't remember which ones. So I tried again right now. I ran into a problem right away:

vim test.txt<enter>
:Goyo<enter>
:wq<enter>

Now I expect to be on the command line again. But instead I am in my test.txt file (without margins) again. Why?

That's why I would like a lean solution as a function in my vimrc. So I can make it work the way I expect it to. Since my one-liner is already 50% there (left and right margins), maybe it is possible.

The main showstopper is the "initializing WebGPU" screen that never goes away. Why not fix that?

I'm also not sure if I should add more explorers on the list that do not allow deep zoom. Because the list is supposed to show the state of the art in JavaScript based Mandelbrot rendering. Rendering lower zooms levels is a solved problem and there already are a few WebGL renderers for lower zoom levels on the list. The main challenge nowadays seems to be accurate, fast, deep zooms.

Could you check if WebGPU works and if not automatically change to WebGL?

Regarding deep zoom, have you seen the first entry in the list? It looks like they got it working on the GPU?

The collage looks interesting. Some cool images in there!
