This is inspirational. I'm going to try to reproduce some of these cups using traditional means: throwing on the potter's wheel, and some assembly when the clay is leather hard. For example, the 'half cup' isn't hard to make, and a great jo

Don't forget that for useful household ceramics you need a lot more than just a 3D printer alone -- You'll need equipment and materials to glaze, and a ceramics kiln (which you can't fire in your kitchen).

I'd like a 'bullcup', a cup with two large bullhorns. And a 'spongecup', where the inside of the cup is filled with a filament-like structure. Maybe impractical, because hard to clean.

My eBook reader renders plain flat TXT files pretty good, and in the font and fontsize I can specify myself (instead of having to look at some poor choices made by someone else for a PDF). With that in mind, I convert the Gutenberg etexts t

How does Clojure's Java interop compare to Jython's?

Plus, you use tarsnap in the same way as 'tar' which you're already familiar with. Backups are securely encrypted, and encryption happens on the fly. And all that goodness on the commandline!

I did just that, but the algorithm fails on the provided Tokyo picture. It works on other pictures, tho.

Currently I'm using a matrix to determine adjacency, but I'll give this graph idea a try. Thanks for the tip! PS. Have you actually realized a succesful implementation? (Just curious)

The starting strip is, by definition, the strip on which no other strip has been placed left of. There is no other way of determining what the starting strip is; it's not a given. The problem is that with my current pixel matcher (sum of a

"they don't have an API for writing native code apps on Windows" I'm still writing to the native WIN32 API (albeit via Borland's C++Builder which uses the VCL 'Visual Component Library', the same library that powers Delphi) and that stuff

I experienced something similar, and eventually gave up because I got stuck in an endless loop -- and as a consequence I had to give up using that google service. Since there was no way to contact Google about this matter I blamed myself:

all manufacturers had switched back to the shitty input method of +/- buttons again because.. I don't know. Fashion? Production cost. Two pushbuttons are cheaper than one rotary dial.

The Lisp era will never end. As a matter of fact, it rebooted a few years ago with the birth of Clojure. #Clojure on FreeNode is a very active channel.

I went through my code and discovered that I seldom copy lists. I do often make selections from lists in a new list, i.e: b = [x for x in a if somecondition(x)]

A program I'd written once got chastised by a young developer: he found it oldfashioned, "not of this time". After some asking about what he meant, I found out his main gripe was that the GUI controls like listviews, tabs, buttons etc. didn

I really liked Turbo C... It was so nicely integrated: the editor, compiler, linker, visual debugger and excellent help system. It also had a nice paned IDE which actually looked good and made it very usable on those old DOS systems. [I had
