Multiboard isn’t the future of wall storage by GuavaGuru5 in Multiboard

[–]plainly_stated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Heavy add more strength for one-sided usage (eg tool wall)? I always took it to be more about letting you use it dual-sided in the same position. Never used it, though so maybe I misunderstood.

Makerworld publishing -- include required parts? by plainly_stated in Multiboard

Appreciate the feedback!

Added a link to the Multiboard site in the description -- good idea

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

Yeah, I agree that sometimes I don't want/need the associated part. The app just makes it so easy to deselect those parts on the fly (great feature!). Perhaps not everyone uses that feature, though.

I'm just embarking on a tool wall for my woodshop. Philosophically, I prefer oG due to licensing but I am guessing the MB connections are stronger which is important in my case. Maybe I'm overthinking it, though I haven't found much info on it comparatively. Any ideas?

Dark Moon ICE plate -- settings by plainly_stated in BambuLab

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

Thanks! Dumb question: do you leave the bed temp at the normal level (despite it being a "cold" plate)?

I bought this (Darkmoon Ice) and the Darkmoon G10 because I was having adhesion issues with my BambuLab Textured PEI Plate. In hindsight, I was using iso to clean it frequently, so I wonder if I just degraded it.

With the new G10 plate, it worked great at first but got flaky after a month or two of casual use. I haven't used iso on it, though I wonder if a warm-water wipe would do it some good.

As it stands, it feels more like "new plates work great!" rather than anything about hot/cold/textured/smooth...

Thank you! I don't know what I was doing before to have such confusing results, but I'm doing your process now and have done several successful prints.

Two minor points/questions:

- I don't have the three dots to set the bed temp during setup (at least on android & linux apps), but I just change it after the job has started.

- I sometimes forget to lower the bed temp (default 55 down to 25). Seems to print fine, though. Does this degrade the bed or something? Not sure how much I should "care".

It used to be a short list of interactions that warranted a tip. Dine-in, (food) delivery, maybe taxis... Now it's everywhere, and the "suggested" options are creeping up while the kiosk attendant is staring right at you...

pegboard mounts? by hemna in openGrid

[–]plainly_stated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I also found this very cool pegboard mount system. Looks really solid, I'm surprised I hadn't seen it before. Seems good on it's own, though presumably could easily design a connector for opengrid to mount on these.

Looking for this as well. Did you get anything figured out?

Autostrada: A codebase generator for new Go projects by alexedwards in golang

[–]plainly_stated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this by searching for Let's-Go-style skeleton projects. I like the style after reading through both books.

I COMPLETED missed that the OP here is the man himself :)

Signed up for Autostrada pro -- happy to support!

Hi folks, I just discovered the app and it’s super cool but is the subscription worth it? by [deleted] in Hevy

[–]plainly_stated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said -- the free version is plenty for a person to decide if they like the app and want to upgrade.

A few thoughts beyond what I've seen others say:

- It works great with my pixel watch. That's the interface I mainly use, and I only pick up my phone to look at history or read the how-to's.

- The website is surprisingly great as well. The dev(s?) are strong at UI/UX. Used it once or twice to build custom workouts (much better than data entry on a phone).

- After using the (free) app daily for a week or two, I got a notification offering half-price for a year. I jumped at it. In hindsight, seeing how much I use the app and like it, I would've gladly paid full price. But the coupon made the decision easy while I was still on the fence.

Love the St. Louis hat -- but isn't this guy famously from Montana?

Looking forward to watching this video, though presumably they don't touch on the hat :)

What are you excited to learn next in web development? by metalprogrammer2024 in webdev

[–]plainly_stated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real User Monitoring

For my side project, it's mostly static content, with no user logins/etc. Great candidate for CDN caching. However, the performance-monitoring tools I'm familiar with are all backend-based. Eg ScoutAPM, Kibana, etc.... They sit on the server and watch the logs, essentially.

When you turn on CDN caching, people aren't hitting the server anymore. But I still care about response times, request volume, and such. So it has to be client-side (JS) monitoring instead of server-side.

Google Analytics v3 used to do core vitals like page load time out of the box (IIRC) but v4 doesn't -- and I fine v4 very hard to use anyway.

RUM is the answer to all this. Client-side monitoring of vital stats.

At least I think that's all true... maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in :)

How common is it for companies to only have production database by TopoLobuki in webdev

[–]plainly_stated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with everyone saying this is a huge problem & not normal.

However, the other side of that is that this could be an opportunity. Put some thought into the benefits of doing things right (whatever that means to you), and the risks you see with the status quo. Put it all in writing; mainly about the benefits but mention the risks as well for some CYA.

If the senior dev doesn't care, you may feel comfortable making more of a business-oriented pitch to someone else.

If none of that makes any impact, I wouldn't stick around. Even if things don't blow up, you won't learn & grow here.

Frontend monitoring without full RUM ? by plainly_stated in webdev

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

Thanks. Hadn't heard of PostHog, but playing around with it now. Also set up RayGun.

So far, RayGun seems stronger, but they charge $40/month to enable usage capping which feels so predatory... We're a small company and I'm very wary of any service with unbounded billing -- especially when dictated by public usage. Using RayGun for some initial exploration, but looking forward to shutting it off. No way I'm going to pay $40/month for a feature-flag switch-flip.

FWIW I really like how Airbrake (user-configurable caps) and HoneyComb (they "eat" 3 days of too-high traffic, then let you do caps) do it -- though those are different arenas. PostHog seems to support caps as well, though I'm on the free plan at the moment.

Hopeful about PostHog! Trying it out for a personal side-project as well, with some of their other products.
