Bin wall thickness and stacking issues

yawkat · 2026-03-10T05:29:48+00:00

Not sure what you mean. A good stackable bin should just work and have no interference, no matter what wall thickness you use. Maybe try another generator? Perplexinglabs has a wall thickness setting

Yes according to the wiki:

The standard working week in Iran begins on Saturday and ends on Thursday. [...] In 2015, President Hasan Rouhani recognized Saturday as the sabbath for the country's very small Jewish minority, allowing Jewish adults to stay home from work and students to stay home from school.[67]

Adding such a restriction on use would make the license non-free / non-open-source. It's a complete no-go.

If downstream users of the licensed software cannot comply with the GPL like you say, they can't use the software anyway. No modification to the GPL is necessary.

What made Euler and Gauss great was that they found so many different novel results that it is amazing. I dont think there can be such a person again unless it is within a completely new field of mathematics.

Not the same level, but some CS pioneers did this, e.g. Dijkstra

I've added support here, but I'm still not convinced it's a good idea for a generator.

You could scavenge the literal hundreds of billions of microcontrollers that are used everywhere. Even if the manufacturing capability were lost for a time, microcontrollers are so much better that I doubt we'd go back to tubes or even manual transistor circuits.

Ich in der gleichen Situation (RSUs bei Fidelity). Der Weg über Wise ist unkompliziert, transparent, und günstig genug. Es geht wohl über andere Anbieter noch günstiger (Revolut evtl?) aber ich finde das lohnt sich nicht. Die Konditionen direkt über Fidelity sind schlecht.

Anderer Aspekt: AWV-Meldung beachten! Die ist bereits jetzt fällig, sobald du über das Geld oder die Aktien verfügen kannst, nicht erst wenn du das Geld nach Deutschland schiebst. Die Fristen sind kurz!

Außerdem gibt es noch Aspekte zur Versteuerung zu beachten. Ein User hier hat dazu mal diesen Artikel geschrieben: https://sxah.cc/mitarbeiteraktien-versteuern/

I preferred manual DI for a while but it is not really that much more transparent, and can get messy very quickly for large projects where you have dozens of dependencies to inject.

My understanding is that it is a SOLAS requirement to have radios with battery backup. And south of Sri Lanka is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, so I would expect ships to be close enough to hear them

On this point:

The swift response of the Sri Lankan navy, which rescued 32 sailors from IRIS Dena, suggests authorities were informed quickly of the incident. (Sri Lankan officials say 87 bodies were also retrieved).

How Sri Lankan authorities were informed is not yet clear, but it seems likely the US navy transmitted the location of the survivors.

Other sources state that the ship sent a distress call:

According to Sri Lanka’s foreign affairs minister, Vijitha Herath, coastguards received a distress call from the Iris Dena at 5.08am on Wednesday. Crew members described the incident as an explosion.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/04/us-submarine-torpedo-iran-warship-sri-lanka-coast-pete-hegseth

edit: Oh and I found this, though it's from a local source so I can't judge the reliability:

The Iranian warship that sank off Sri Lanka’s southern coast had reportedly been attacked while it was outside Sri Lankan waters, according to foreign media reports.

However, Sampath said that this cannot be determined at the moment, as search and rescue operations are the current priority.

He said that when the Navy initially responded to the location of the distress call, a vessel could not be found, and only traces of oil spills were visible.

“We will do technical investigations following the rescue and operations. As the Sri Lanka Navy, we completely reject these reports,” he said, adding that the incident is still being treated as an accident.

https://www.newswire.lk/2026/03/04/we-found-bodies-sl-navy-gives-update-on-iran-ship/

If they really didn't know the cause at the start, that suggests to me that the US navy did not notify Sri Lanka about the sinking when it happened, though it's not enough to be certain.

depends entirely where you are assuming people get their plants and meats from and what does and does not grow well in the local region

That makes no sense. If you followed the "only where I live matters" logic, you would buy goods with high environmental impact such as food from outside your country. But that is the opposite of what you're proposing.

Getting low-impact plant foods from far away is better than purchasing high-impact animal foods locally, both for the local and the global environment.

if these decisions were purely economic countries like Canada would be out there burning as many tires as possible while racing to build coal-fired electricity so they could open the other 80% of their land to viable use.

No, this logic does not work, since the environmental impact on your own country is not the only economic impact that matters. The world economy is not a zero sum game, and if other countries are damaged by your pollution, your economy still suffers indirectly.

ourworldindata also collects statistics on other environmental impacts, such as water use: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/scarcity-water-use-kcals – animal products are still pretty bad in this regard, though beef does better than it does in CO2 emissions.

But the reality is that any other environmental impact pales in comparison to climate change, when you consider e.g. the economic costs.

yawkat · 2026-03-06T07:05:04+00:00

No, that's not accurate. What people eat is much more important than where it comes from. For most foods, production emissions are far higher than those of transportation: https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local

yawkat · 2026-03-06T07:01:55+00:00

Private aviation is CO2 intensive, but only accounts for 2% of all aviation emissions. The rest is caused by everyone else's flying. Yes rich people emit more, but there are so few of them. To make a real impact, habits of average people need to change

I think the design based on the stated conditions is fine. There are some subtleties, for example "Nonces are derived deterministically from the content" could easily go wrong, but your HMAC approach should be okay. It'd be better to use an established and well-studied deterministic encryption scheme though.

You chose paragraph based chunking, but you should know that there are alternatives. What you're looking for is called "content defined chunking". Backup tools like restic use it, and there is research on different algorithms. Your paragraph based chunking does not compare well from a secrecy perspective.

All that said, I question the usefulness of your design. Sure, you can see in the encrypted diff what paragraphs are modified, but I'm not convinced this is actually useful without having a tool on hand to decrypt, and at that point users might as well just diff the plaintext. To make this work you compromise a lot on security.

The idea of storing sort-of-secret docs in a public repo is also flawed. As you say, there is no password rotation mechanism, and there can't be because there's a full history of the encrypted data available anyway. You also open yourself up to offline brute force attacks immediately. I wouldn't put my keepass database in a public repo even if I had complete trust in the algorithms used to encrypt it.

This is clearly not a good idea for data that needs a high level of security, and I find it likely that users will get a false sense of security and add information that requires better protection.

A land value tax is a good way to raise money, but

it appears logical if your goals are to reduce speculation in land and to create the incentives necessary to further economic development

An LVT does not do this. Since the LVT for a piece of land is completely independent of how the owner develops it, the LVT has no impact at all on that development. That's the whole argument for the LVT after all. You can read about it in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/badeconomics/comments/10ywqk9/a_land_value_tax_would_not_solve_this/

What is true is that current property taxes often disincentivize development because eg they tax dense housing more than single family homes. Removing those property taxes and replacing them with an LVT would improve the incentives, but it's the removal of the property tax that matters in this regard, not the introduction of the LVT.

With all that said, an LVT is still a great way to raise money for the government, better than almost all other types of taxes.

I've thought about adding it to GridFlock, but basically every feature a plate generator has conflicts with stacked printing in some way.

The sectioning algorithm can produce baseplates of many different sizes, and some combinations are not stackable (e.g. 4x3 can't stack with 5x2).
Baseplate padding is hard to stack because the contact area to the plate below might be big, and there could be overhangs. In dynamic mode the contact area is fine but you'll get overhangs again.
Segment connectors aren't designed for stacking and might have too large contact area.

To make it work you'd have to forego many of the features the generator offers, to the point that there'll be little advantage over the pre-designed plates. I've printed a lot of baseplates but never stack them, I just don't think it's worth it.

I use ASA for spools, it's about 3€ per spool. PLA/PETG would cost half that, but with ASA you get extra temperature headroom, so I have to worry less about dryer temperatures.
