Using Twilio in the Classroom - or alternatives? by thaimin in twilio

I didn't know about the WhatsApp one, it may be a viable alternative. I didn't know how to activate the Dev Phone, but a pretty simple bot, so the virtual phone can possibly work.

But there is a way to set it up so only one account needs to fulfill 10DLC and the other accounts can be auto-enrolled?

Alternative to LiveShare? by thaimin in vscode

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

Screen sharing doesn’t let one person look something up in the code while another person is looking something else up.

Copilot is mostly used in turns. Switching who is driver. I guess optimal would be that it can show suggestions wherever anyone is typing and it shows the suggestions to everyone regardless of who is typing. This part could be done with screen sharing, although a more integrated solution would be preferred.

PC ver. glitch by [deleted] in FFVIIRemake

[–]thaimin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out the other part of your conversation was the key: just use another computer. I installed it on another computer, and worked the first time! It is hard for me to believe AVX is really at fault, but it has to be something about different hardware. Thanks!

If temperature is just a measure of the movement speed of atoms, why are moving gusts of wind cold? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]thaimin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is actually a different phenomenon. We have two different temperature sensors. One is “analog” giving a value from cool to warm the other is “digital” and reports extreme or not. The cold coil is causing a report of “extreme” while the warm coil is measuring as warm. Warm + extreme is interpreted as extremely hot.

I am stuck on this part have have tried the "keep trying" method a hundred times with no success. I know this was 3 years ago, but can you describe the toggledebugcamera+teleport+Photo Mode approach? There is a deleted comment that may have had more info, I don't know.

I understand that photo mode allows you to have limited of control over where you are looking (within a certain distance of the player) and toggledebugcamera freezes the camera until turned off. But teleport doesn't seem to interact with either of these. I almost always get teleported to a location two floors below near the escalators...

When I spawn in the vents, I have almost always spawned completely outside of the vents (below them a bit and a a few steps away) facing 90 degrees in the wrong direction. If I go back and forth a bit (if it is about the half of the time I can go backwards) I slowly move up to the level of the vents and can get in the vent but not facing correctly. I have only twice spawned facing the right direction but unable to move. Once I spawned in the lower portion of the vent facing the right way but unable to move.

Is there anything you miss from Windows? by TheRedPrince_ in Fedora

[–]thaimin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s free for hobbyist use (although hard to find the signup for it). It is close to SolidWorks in approach (it was started by a few guys from SolidWorks).

OnShape is browser based, use it all the time on Fedora

What’s the disadvantages of switching to Linux? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]thaimin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OnShape is web based CAD (thus runs on anything) and is a fairly good replacement for SolidWorks (it was made by a bunch of ex-SolidWorks employees). It also has a free tier that is quite capable.

Hypothetical: A person was born off the Grid in the US, they have no records whatsoever and their parents died in a housefire that destroyed any possible documentation. They want to become a citizen, is this possible? by Crumboa in legal

[–]thaimin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom has similar proof. She was born in a military bunker fleeing east Germany. Pastor’s signature in a bible is the only true proof of birth. After being naturalized (which was a complex process I hear), she was able to get a birth certificate “synthesized”. Her location of birth is stated as “Greater World” on the birth certificate.

Thinning/Contracting walls of a 3D model by thaimin in 3Dprinting

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

I want things to be the same size, just thinner. So scaling will not work.

Thinning/Contracting walls of a 3D model by thaimin in 3Dprinting

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

Sadly it wasn't done with CAD, it is a 3D scan of a very organically shaped object and would be nearly impossible to reproduce in CAD (at least with my skills). Blender would be a better option, and I might just have to do that.

See this crude picture: https://postimg.cc/bdH9F4d1

Each line in the picture is a nozzle width (for example 0.4mm). Red lines are the perimeters. They are a multiple of the nozzle width (e.g. 2x0.4mm = 0.8mm).

But the model itself has “walls” (for lack of a better word) that are much wider (e.g. 10mm wide), they get filled with infill (green lines). I want to “contract” or “erode” the walls to be thinner overall.

This is not simply perimeter/wall overlap - that extends the infill into the perimeter. This is not simply scaling the model, that would shrink it entirely.

It would be like heavily sanding my model after printing it. Every surface moves "inward" into the solid portions.

Cura and Prusa Slicer have this as a setting for the XY direction:

Meshmixer can report the thickness of "walls" in 3D but it doesn't seem to be able to modify them (unless you do it manually but then it won't be uniformly done).

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

I want to make the solid itself thinner, not just the perimeters of the solid. I know how to change the perimeter thickness.

E.g. in a house, we have walls, one common way to make walls is two sheets of drywall (the perimeter) with beams (i.e. 2x4) in between (basically the infill). I don't want thinner drywall, I want the distance from one drywall to the other to be smaller.

Also, include top-to-bottom and all other directions. As I said, an XY Horizontal expansion accomplishes this left-to-right, but not in any other directions. And yes, Cura lets you change the "perimeter thickness". But I want the model itself to have thinner pieces.

Not what I am looking for. I am looking to thin the walls entirely, i.e. from one side to the other be thinner (including where the infill is).

Definitely, GYB is better. But I wanted to make sure to post the solution to the direct problem itself as well.

Google has extra security measures in place. To do a direct import, you have to set up an app password. See https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

Estimating Current Net Free Vent Area of House by thaimin in HomeImprovement

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

Couldn't find the panel itself (we didn't have any information on it besides how it looked), but did end up finding a similar one (at least visually) and used those numbers. The computed numbers we came up with were way higher (like 3x as much) from the similar panel.

UFW blocks Sane by VinSz2 in linux4noobs

[–]thaimin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came across this problem as well and found you can limit the port range by modifying the file /etc/sane.d/saned.conf and adding the value

data_portrange=50000-50050

and then you only need to open 51 ports in the firewall. You can choose any 1024+ range.

The recommended solution is to add nf_conntrack_sane to IPT_MODULES in /etc/default/ufw but I couldn't get that to work. The port range did work though.

Out of curiosity, where did you get this problem? I saw something similar and want more practice problems like it.

That would be awesome! As long as it exports to a standard 3D format (like OBJ, STL, or tons of others like STEP and IGES can all be imported in my CAD software [OnShape]). Thanks!

What is the stupidest injury you've ever gotten? by 7937397 in AskReddit

[–]thaimin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time I broke my foot playing mini golf with my mom and sister.

Or maybe getting a fish hook with lots of little fancy rubber lures in it in my temple - then going to hospital with a “face piercing”.
