I'm a fan of Martin Fowler, I've used his blog post on Tech Debt to explain to managers why you can't just give a 15-year team-killer of an app to a bunch of newbies and expect smooth sailing. His refactoring book is also pretty great. Not necessarily philosophy, or a gripping cover to cover read, but skimming though it as part of a grad school class got me thinking about how I'd refactor my own code and changed my approach to coding (most notably in favoring a series of linq queries/ streams/ es6 array ops, over ugly loops with a tangle of branching logic inside).
Depends, are we in Georgia and is there a golden fiddle gattling gun on the line? If so, I'd take that bet, the A10's the best there's ever been.
What kind of disabled?
The tie set is neat, but they're from an era of LEGO where they're all pretty much the same build. That said, I always thought that the tie mauler (#7664) was pretty dope, especially since it did something interesting with the "wings" while keeping the standard tie cockpit, plus the dark mode stormtroopers are sick.
Well they certainly went to a land down under.
I feel a bit like I'm slinging hard drugs here, but might I also suggest RimWorld and Factorio?
Got a PineTime for Christmas and so far been very pleased with it. I found the PineTimeStyle watchface and it's been a bit like coming home to Pebble, but I do miss the wide array of watchface choices and effortless customization.
I wanted to echo this by saying that my lab stated as 4 bay Qnap NAS and evolved into repurposed consumer hardware as my interests and needs changed. My current server is an Optiplex that I bought for being small, quiet, and hanging lots of cores and my NAS is just my old gaming PC build with an HBA card (for extra SATA lanes) stuffed into a fancy case. A server is any computer that you say is a server (ideally one with functional network connectivity).
Boost's ads are mostly there to support the developer, but a one time purchase ($5 irrc) absolutely makes them go away.
That is why one must also consider the relative dimensions in space when constructing a time machine...
Actually, now that you mention it, Worm is this to a tee. Worm is still probably one of my favorite reads to date; highly recommend (it's like a The Boys with less evil corporations and more X-Men)!
Only for the first 6 books or so, was listening to Persepolis a few weeks ago and had to do a double take when the reader finally pronounced it with the hard g ("gim ball").
I figured it couldn't be any worse than the Black Prism reader absolutely butchering javelina (ordinarily the J makes an H sound) a few books in
Not quite Gengar doing a kick flip, but still delightful!
Also a 2.4 owner, I bought the 350 LDO kit from Fabreeko and it was delivered back in August. Getting it assembled and dialed in was certainly a process, but aside from that it's been an absolute workhorse (I think I've got something like 200+ hours of print time in; completely blows my Thessian Ender out of the water in terms of both speed and reliability). You certainly can tinker with it and make it a project printer, but they print really well stock. The only mod I'd say is anywhere near required is swapping out the magnetic bed meshing sensor, only because the sensor readings tend to drift as the sensor gets hot. You can totally work around it, by waiting for the printer to warm all the way up or cool down to ambient before printing, but I'm impatient plus the mouse switch mod (Klicky) tends to be more reliable and accurate (plus it's temperature agnostic).
Don't get me wrong I've totally modded mine: swapped out some of the plastic parts for metal ones, added a brush to clean the nozzle before my print (makes for more consistent Z heights), replaced the panel clips with snap latches, but none of it was required to make the printer print better (mostly just to make maintenance easier and partly because it looks cool).
The new hotness in the open source MMU space is ArmoredTurtle's BoxTurtle project, which seeks to be an open source equivalent of the Bambu AMS. I'm still working on the parts for mine, but from everything I've seen the build is way less fiddly (and as a result more reliable) than the ERCF.
Seconding kit Vorons. While they certainly aren't the cheapest option, they aren't that much more expensive than other higher end core XY machines. Fabreeko has the 250/300mm Trident kit at 1.2k and 350mm 2.4 at 1.4k + an extra $150 or so for printed parts. Compared to the new Core One at between 950 - 1.2k or the X1C also at 1.2k you're looking at an extra $150 to 350, but that also comes with build volume increases (both the Prusa and Bambu are at roughly 250 mm³). Definitely wouldn't recommend them as a first printer, but Vorons are shining examples of what's possible with open source (and they're absolute workhorses too).
Highly recommend them with glowing praise for being all around fantastic (they also run sales on the regular, though kit deals are usually reserved for special occasions like black Friday, or Clee day)
That's awesome! Wishing you both the best!
Lol, it actually kind of is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Steel
