I really hope that FreeCAD will get better with time, and the Blender story will be the same for FreeCAD. Just a few years back, Blender was really bad compared with Maya, now Autodesk lost a huge market because Blender is powerful enough for professional work, probably even better than Maya

no it's the joke. In o-notation you always use the highest approximation, so o(n!²) does not exist, it's only o(n!)

Otherwise there would never be o(1) or o(n), because o(1) would imply that the algorithm only has a single line of instructions, same for o(n)

I just googled "BASF T-Shirt" and immediately found the one he is wearing in this video (and he wear it in a couple of other videos recently)

Just using fluentd to push the files into an ElasticSearch DB and using Kibana as frontend is one day of work for a kubernetes admin and it works good enough (and way better than grepping logfiles from every of the 3000 pods running in a big cluster)

And if something breaks they put the burden on you for not creating backups. Always keep it in writing that you are supposed to work on something else, otherwise you will get the problem down the line

I think the scientific causus nowadays is that the mirror test is not sufficient for cats because we don't know if they don't recognize themselfs or just don't care

No. For 4K Netflix the browser needs to talk to a specific, locked down, part of your Intel (!) CPU. This only works on Edge in Windows or Safari on MacOS (it also works with the Store apps). It never works on Linux and it does not work on Chrome or Firefox.

That's only because you use a Mac, on Windows only Edge allows 4k Netflix. It's the integrated browsers that have the HDCP hardware features so it allows 4K

It also is very unstable when using multiple profiles. The profiles update individually, so very often you start a second profile and it updates firefox, which makes the first profile not work anymore. You don't really notice that though, it just stops loading any websites.

Also on mobile it stops streams running in the background after some time, so when listening to something via firefox you have to actively use FF while listening, can't leave the phone turned to standby

I switched to powder thanks to Alec and I don't regret it. Works great!

I updated my sources.list to something non-existing at some point and run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove once and it also basically uninstalled everything. But that didn't even matter, I popped in a recovery disk and could reinstall everything. Pretty great to be able to do all that with Linux, fuck everything up in an instant but after a few hours everything is back again

 
 

I didnt know what happened, but I knew that I had some problems in the last weeks which I thought I fixed. The rods where to dusty which resulted in the X-Axis skipping. I cleaned thhe rodes and sprayed some Teflon grease on thm, as usual. Maybe something got into the electronics box and the grease isnt as non-conductive as I thought?

So I opened the electronics box, unplugged all cables and checked the fuses. No fuses blown. I checked all important power-traces and all worked fine. I was worried that it really was the last blow for the printer and in my head I already thought which one to get next.

But then I noticed the real problem: On my PC, Home Assistant was open. The selected entity was the zigbee-plug, on which my printer is connected. My cat was sitting on my keyboard. He stepped on my keyboard, pressed the key combination to select the Zigbee Plug and turned off the plug, cutting power to the printer. The beep was the power-failure. The printer didnt turn back on again, because the Zigbee plug was still turned off.

No hurt feelings, but if you ever have a similar problem: check your cats.
