I’ll go with FreeCAD. I’ve known about it for a while and tried it about 5-10 years ago but have given it another look as I try to get back into CAD stuff and hate the restrictive licenses of commercial products. It has come a LONG way and is far more intuitive to use than it used to be.
Do you think programming an ESP32 is a good project for learning rust?
I’ve only barely scratched the surface there myself but, I absolutely do think so. For several reasons. First, ESP32 is one of the few series of MCUs that support the Rust stdlib. And learning what that entails for Rust is extremely helpful in conceptualizing build targets. Second, MCUs are a very constrained target for software/firmware. Getting comfortable there will likely improve your code efficiency in other code platforms as you are more likely to think about resource usage earlier. And third, there’s some pretty excellent docs and tutorials.
Any suggested place to start? (Tutorials, YouTube Vida etc)
For tutorials, my recommended starting point is with the official docs/books themselves:
You’ve received a lot of great advice that I’ve seen. Definitely getting labs would be a good first step. I’d suggest working with your therapist on this, honestly. Supposing that you’re not dealing with a deficiency or medication issue, it might be important to figure out how long you’ve been feeling this way, what way it is exactly that you’re feeling, and figuring out what to do about it.
That’s fair. To be clear, I meant minimal experience with the Rust programming language. I’ve mainly tinkered with ESP32 types of MCUs in Arduino and CircuitPython when it comes to firmware, but have much more software experience. In some ways, I found the little bit of Rust that I tried easier because of the tooling - defaulting to a CLI tool to flash rather than an IDE is much more comfortable for me.
If the target for the firmware has stdlib already implemented, my experience has been that it is indeed easy with minimal experience in the language.
(with lasers): “How about now?”
And it has a pretty excellent stdlib.
Yes. They all have serial numbers, likely sequential so if a roll has serials 0005 through 00150 and some are stolen it should be very easy to tell. If the inventory records show 5 sales and only 00142 through 00150 are remaining, all cards from 00011 to 00141 can be safely assumed stolen and invalidated.
This is usually the cause, in my experience.
Always the former. It’s a short form of regular expression, not rejular expression. But I don’t really judge others for their chosen pronunciation, as long as it’s understandable.
I enjoy your pronunciation! I’ve been using Linux primary for nearly 20 years now. Here’s my list:
| Command | Phonetic |
|---|---|
| zsh | zee shell or zed-ess-aitch |
| ssh | ess-ess-aitch |
| sudo | soo-doo |
| awk | awk |
| sed | sed |
| regex | reg-eks |
GUIX is a good example.
Don’t say ansible. It’s barely declarative.
True, but it uses a common language in its Playbooks, which is a significant advantage. I’d like nix if I didn’t need to use nix the language. It’s great concept and the portability is awesome.
To me, 1400 projects is just an insane number, and it’s only possible because they are all so trivial.
Holy shit. I’m going to have to go through my team’s dependencies. I don’t feel confident that someone “maintaining” that many projects is going to be able to keep all bad actors at bay. Not to mention, none of the examples of his libraries that I’ve seen SHOULD be libraries.
And anyone who has been around for a while should remember when left-pad broke node.js. Including unnecessary dependencies, instead of writing trivial code is just bad practice.
I don’t get the concept that depending on 7 lines of code from a third-party package is remotely acceptable. It’s expanding the potential attack surface to save a dev from templating 7 lines of boilerplate. There’s no net benefit or appreciable time saved.
I’m glad I don’t have to deal with this regularly.
ETA: The package is even MIT licensed! There’s no excuse but laziness and not wanting to understand the code to import this rather than inlining or implementing a novel version. If I can spend the time to write:
if err != nil {
slog.Warn("well shit", "error", err)
return err
}
after every function call…I just didn’t get it.
Might be worth doing some file analysis. The big CO2 laser at my Makerspace has a “proprietary” format that is really just PostScript. Working around that stuff should be doable.
What FOSS alternatives exist? This is exactly the reason not to rely on closed-source for hardware support.
Perhaps there’s been some changes - that would make me extremely happy. I had generally good experiences initially but saw more and more attacking of users not from Hexbear or .ml instances, frequently over nothing but misunderstanding or miscommunication with no quarter or space for clearing up misunderstanding given even to other anticapitalists. It got to the point where I blocked the instance due to the negative impact on my own well-being that I noticed from the unnecessary strife and aggression that I saw and experienced. To be fair, some of it could be misperception and/or RSD on my part as one who is neurodivergent and frequently concerned about being misinterpreted or unintentionally phrasing something incorrectly.
At least, that’s my personal experience, as a recovering debate-bro.
That’s awesome. There are some great and chill comms there - maybe I might to reconsider the instance block and be more judicious in blocking only comms where I find problematic behavior. The only other instance that I have blocked is that sports one that was clogging up my feed with stuff that I find boring.
Didn’t mods/admins throw bans at people doing that? I don’t recall because I’ve not been on Reddit for a good while.
!!!
I had missed that. Thank you!
