  • Unified process, which, despite usually not being called that way and/or being codified in the way it is nowadays, is how virtually all early software companies did their development work post-punchcards (when you no longer had to get things done in a single step).

    It’s why the “agile is better because iterative hoooo!” is so laughable, because even though we didn’t yet call it iterative - as a distinction from pre-planned, since we thought in punchcards+mainframe vs after that - we did iterative work. Of course we did, software development is naturally iterative and Waterfall was the contrived contrasting example of how a non-iterative process would look.









  • Same. Once every few months I give DDG another try for a week or two, but between their strictly inferior and more spam riddled results and the absolutely grotesquely bad Apple Maps they integrate, it’s back to Google pretty quickly.

    It’s like that study found out: Yeah, Google results have objectively gotten worse. But so have Bing’s and by extension DDG’s, and more so than Google’s.



  • Hrm, I had similar issues on my Artillery X2 before.

    Here’s what I went through:

    • Replaced the nozzle
    • Replaced the thermistor
    • Replaced the heating block
    • Replaced the main PCB
    • Replaced the heatbreak

    Finally, I gave up, and took out the thermistor again thinking maybe I broke it. There’s a small PCB connected to it, that sits on the side of the hot end assembly. I contacted Artillery about a potentially faulty hot end PCB, they sent me a replacement. It did not help. Desperate, I also replaced the thermistor with the replacement one that was part of their repair kit. And that worked. I think the faulty PCB broke the first replacement thermistor or something…
