I second this -- I much prefer build123d to OpenSCAD.

Are you really suggesting that the choice to use Typescript wasn't a deliberate one?

IMO -- it makes total sense within the existing Cloudflare tooling ecosystem.

This -- with the M5 Max MBP is running flat out, you'll go from full battery to empty in under two hours.

While it is wild to have this much power in a take-it-anywhere laptop form factor, I sort of regret not just going for a Mac Studio + base M5 MBP.

Are you really making the argument that human flight hasn’t been effectively achieved at this point?

I actually kind of love this comparison — it demonstrates the point that just like “human flight”, “true AGI” isn’t a single point in time, it’s a many-decade (multi-century?) process of refinement and evolution.

Scholars a millennia from now will be debating about when each of these were actually “truly” achieved.

Octal on iOS also handles it correctly.

I’ll be honest, this was around 2005-2008 — it was a long time ago and at the time I really enjoyed the ritual of it all.

The main advice I can give you is to use ripping software that integrates with AccurateRip (XLD, EAC, etc) and use a widely supported lossless format (like FLAC).

Also — I can’t remember all the details, but there’s a way to store a CUE file, along with some metadata alongside your rip such that you can recreate an exact copy of the original physical media.

At least for now, I’ve moved on to streaming services, but I’m happy to know that I have a large library of music that I ripped myself to fall back to using instead, should I ever choose to.

Maybe think about going with the cheap table saw and spending the remainder of the money to get a nice track saw.

Of course, there are some things that you really do need a table saw for, but track saws are amazing and inherently safer in comparison to a table saw.

Particularly for sheet goods, I’ll never use anything but a track saw at this point.

Not sure about Android, but on iOS a three finger tap will bring up a contextual menu which allows undo and redo, among other actions.

They have been quite good in my experience. I particularly like the T5 4.7 and 2.13 which include integrated e-paper displays.

The beauty of something like this is that its easily battery powered. It won’t be the fastest or most powerful option, but it’s an awesome tool to have on hand for repairs that aren’t easily done at a desk.

The headline misses the mark here IMO. This actually seems really great, and critically it appears to make it very easy to help fix errors in ISP provided data.

For my location, the data generally seems accurate. I will be following up with a local provider that claims to offer 1 gig fiber — that’s definitely news to me.
