People like you should be in leadership positions. The landscape rewards quick solutions, and quick solutions are rarely good solutions. "Whatever works" might still be a bad solution, just look at electron and that entire ecosystem.
Im contemplating buying a printer on a tight budget. I heard Sovol makes good stuff, so im looking at their product line. I have heard that the SV07 uses V-rollers instead of linear rods, that the SV06 uses.
Im comforting with flashing microprocessors and building custom code. My priority list is as follows:
- Open source, both hard and software
- Part availability and software interoperability/ecosystem
- Stability/quality of the build
- Print quality and speed
What do you guys think? Any recommendations? Should i get myself a bone stock SV06 and upgrade it to klipper by flashing, or should i get a SV06 Plus with a klipper display already? Is there something else i should consider?
Very thankful for any advice.
Interesting. Im curious, what are some key areas of math that you think is the most interesting/useful for software engineering (that you would personally recommend learning)?
I will likely have some spare time in the following months and i currently plan to spend it on deepening my senses related to linear algebra and analysis.
It is often echoed that mathematicians make excellent software engineers, and that their logic-adjacent work will translate efficiently into coding and designing.
I have found this to be almost universally untrue. I might even say the inverse is true.
While I and many of my peers have capacity to navigate the mathematical world, it certainly is not what sets us (at least me) apart when designing clever algorithms and software tricks.
Point being: I dont think the property/trait that makes good programmers is mathematical literacy.
I would love to hear what others experience is regarding this.
I need that story
Both zig and go use the dot operator, but I find the '::' operator much more readable.
rust Vec::new();
Makes it clear that were accessing a static method belonging to the Vec struct/namespace.
Vec.new()
Makes it seem like Vec is an object with a 'new' method.
Am I alone in thinking this?
For those wondering, this seems to be MIT licensed. I didnt check all components.
I think you are misguided. Given your level of experience, you are not in a position to spew hot takes on software architecture.
There is something else underneath this. Did you try to use linux or something?
General advice when it comes to software is to just start. There are always different paths, depending on what type of programmer you are. My opiniom: choose simple, not easy.
This is terrible advice. Communication is the solution.
Very cool! This is the kind of stuff i want to see. Is AVR still the best choice for this? Any Risc-V ICs that can fill this type of role yet?
Of these, only zig compiles to binary code. The others are usually interpreted.
Name checks out
I would like to see proof lf this.
Can never seem to understand this reasoning. Musk seems to largely have solved the censorship problem on twitter, which could be regarded as a vital piece of modern dempcracy (along with the rest of the internet, which mostly suffer from said censorship).
While at it he weeded out some traitors, who actively sabotaged during this period. Im well aware that corporate takeovers arent something "good", but this one actually seems to make free speech a first class value.
This censorship is imposed by advertisers, which is somehow celebrated. Were talking disney, coca cola, whatever... These all want to control what you can or can not hear, and people are celebrating it?
The proper response to advertisers trying to co trol democracy is absolutely "go fuck yourself", this should be the norm.
We dont want a bunch of proprietary extensions to an open communications standard, do we? This is something positive.
That said, I dont have much hope for matrix. Implemented in python with the initial goal of "bridging every chat platform in existence" is just bound to be a disaster.
Maintaining anything beyond a couple of hundred lines in python becomes tedious imo.
The rewrite in go has been spoken about since like 2018, and matrix.org still runs synapse iirc. Synapse should have been trashed immediately after MVP demonstration.
Theres also conduit, but to be honest, i feel like the lesson here is to avoid feature creep. Safe, fast and distributed dm text chat should have been the target functionality, with a lean, mean codebase.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk
Proton is most certainly a mission critical Valve product. But, yeah, use whatever. I swear by Fedora.
Afaik, the way it currently works is by calling via javascript. Ironically, the way strings are handled in the browser is also a major performance block with rust at least.
Not extreme at all. You have all the right to think what you want, but let others decide for themself.
Assuming danish. Need any more developers? In search for a danish software gig //swede
Or, you know... Just dont listen to the song if you dont like it?
Throughout my life i have set up a multitude of different printers. None of them have been a pleasant experience. Why is this, and is there a printer that is actually good?
Order of priorities:
- Free/open software and hardware
- Available ink/toner and spares
- No connectivity "dumb as a rock"
Print quality really doesent matter unless it is really bad. Of course, im willing to make sacrifices on all of these points, but you get the gist.
Any suggestions for models that comes even close to any of these requirements?
