   I'm curious why you didn't buy a prusa? was price the only factor? It's sad to me that these low end machines have made so many people think that 3d printing is very finicky and tedious.

   I agree, but I think the incentives tend to push towards user hostile results. It's a small jump for the business mind to go from free cloud optional to free cloud only to paid features cloud to subscription only cloud, or selling pla

   >Imagine a Prusa where it works out of the box, you can fire up a slicer in your browser which auto-connects to your printer and prints models from a Prusa-operated model repository, paying $10 for a premium model, $1 off the top goes to

   word shape is extremely important for ease/speed of reading, so making text blocky and homogenous with no ascenders/descenders is empirically worse

    I've been working on a team replacing a widgets UI with QML, everyone on the team loves QML and finds it way easier/faster to work in (and the design/management love all the smooth animations etc.) and the guy who sucks at C+

    my inexpensive modern pc could also be replaced by a slightly newer inexpensive modern pc, so what? the point at which a machine becomes unusably obsolete is a judgement call, and I only consider itanium obsolete because every OS has basica

    genode is miserably under-hyped, it seems like the most practical, arguably even daily usable microkernel-based OS running on seL4, which is arguably one of the great achievements in verified software, it's so conceptually interesting!

    I'm not really a free software absolutist, but I do think it's worth putting my money where my mouth is sometimes, so I run a Raptor Blackbird (you could put one together for less than $3000). Raptor systems are still the fastest

    I got the advice from an artist to just throw away your drawings if you don't immediately love them, to get over the hoarding instinct and be less precious about art. Hard for me but probably a good idea!
