Yeah that's tricky. I suggest Occam's razor: environmental control is likely to be the most serious factor? Any $1k printer should be able to extrude filament at the right rate in the right place, and I don't know that ABS is

My gut feeling is that 10s of kg per day should be injection molded. Or SLS/resin printed so you can take advantage of layer speed. That's what 10x printers running at full tilt constantly, at least? https://www.reddit.

Are you asking about best practices? Or the theory behind the printing process? I think there is a ton of this actually, because when 3D printing became affordable, the community did a huge amount of experimentation to figure out how to mak

We use chicanes (of a sort) and single lane bottlenecks in the UK. Forcing the vehicle to turn is a pretty easy way to get people to slow down and people complain less because it's friendlier on their suspension. In my home town there&

I haven't used duckDB but the real comparison is presumably postgis? Which is also absent from the discussion, but I think what the author alludes to. I have no major qualm with pandas and geopandas. However I use it when it's the

Yeah I'm not surprised this is a feature in other EDA packages, it's something I'd like to explore more, in combination with OpenSCAD. I've been pretty happy with the few things I've tried from JL, though I'm a

Translated stories are sometimes called Graded Readers, you can buy them aligned with most common language levels (CEFR, JLPT, etc) Subtitles though, tricky. The sites that sync with Netflix are probably better than whatever Netflix offers,

I would imagine the most difficult part would be preparing thin enough stock accurately, but that's possible via planing. The cutting and angle-forming can be done with custom planes or jigs/guide blocks. I don't think you ev

Mailing lists are a good example. For example take a look at some random threads from the Linux Kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/2/20/2066 If you reply to an earlier one, the UI will handle it and show

This is a really good use case, though I'd be surprised if there aren't macros to do simple grid layout already in Altium or KiCad. It's the sort of thing you'd find in a badly documented Eagle userscript. I recently mad

The Volume is pretty cool. A practical version of this that's often overlooked is Oblivion (probably because the plot is naff). The "sky tower" set is physical with 270 degrees of front projection to handle the sky. It would

Tens of seconds is about right. It's something like 500/f(mm) in seconds, but you get a feel for what will blur and what won't. Here's an example I shot with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 @ 20s: https://www.instagr

Virtually all forums (and their ancestral mailing lists) default to chronological order. A good comparison is perhaps the difference between comment-driven and discussion-driven sites, if there's a technical name for that? HackerNews i

I'm not convinced this is any worse than searching for results or reviews and being directed to content that is affiliate supported (or astroturfed by companies). Humans already do this sort of subtle nudging and lots of people positio

Back to conventional forums with threaded, sequential, discussion? We managed fine for years and well-moderated forums seem to deal with spam/bots better.

It's fun watching Marvel's catalogue from start to current. They really went all-in early on, then the mode-du-jour changed and it's almost obvious how hard they avoid it (a lot of red and green lights for example). Interface

You would be amazed how many battery packs are multiple 18650s in a trenchcoat. Even EV battery packs use them. Though it does raise the question - wouldn't an old EV battery be a better solution than stripping apart laptops?

It depends on your supplier, because they set the pricing and that information gets displayed on your meter. Octopus (UK) has a dynamically-priced service called Agile where you can query the API as a user; in some cases the API doesn'
