but they turned away from individuals and towards b2b

I don’t agree. 1Password is exactly the application my family and I need and works extremely well. I don’t understand how you think they turned away from individuals. Adding b2b features doesn’t in any way take away from what the app provides for me. IMO the cost is pretty reasonable and the features and enhancements just keep coming. It was great when I started using it over 10 years ago, and now it is unrecognizable from then (in a good way).

To be fair he opens everything in seconds.

I have recently replaced two Schlage Zwave locks with the Encode locks because have trouble with zwave at the front door. The zwave locks perform well and the back door lock always worked 100% of the time, integrated well with home assistant and HomeKit bridge.

The encode locks are more attractive and the lock mechanism is nicer and a lot quieter than the locks I replaced.

I use PrusaSlicer and their Ender profiles with no tinkering and get consistently great prints.

Every time I have reached for TOML I have ended up using JSON. The first reason is that Python standard library can read but not write TOML, which is generally useless for me. The second reason is TOML does not add any benefit over JSON. It’s not that much easier to read and IMO JSON is easier to write by hand because the syntax rules are completely obvious.

The Prusa mini gantry is solid. I have been printing on one for 2+ years and will vouch 100% that it’s extremely well built. The 20mm you’re missing is seriously not the issue you think it is. It is rare that I ever go to one of my larger printers with the Mini being such a reliable workhorse. (workpony?)

Prusa XL, 5 tool version

Oops I thought you wrote sub $5000.

I recommend the Bambu Lab A1 Mini. With or without the AMS. It’s a great size to get back into printing. I have the Prusa Mini and 180mm^3 is really all I need for most of my prints.

• dry the filament - most filament is wet even if it is brand new
• calibrate flow rate
• calibrate first layer (nozzle height)

I rarely deviate from Prusa Slicer’s built in profile for Prusament and have great results. I would try drying the filament first if everything else is working well.

I installed and have been testing the new firmware with great results. I was a little disappointed that the bonkers benchy kind of cheated by using 5% infill, single exterior walls, and less top/bottom layers, but it was super satisfying watching the print head whip around. I need to refresh the bearings before I print too much else.

I installed this last night. I had to adjust the belts to get the Mini to home, but then everything worked and the “bonkers” benchy came out surprisingly well.

Only if the code base is well tested.

Edit: always add tests when you change code that doesn’t have tests.

I agree with your first point, but pretty strongly disagree with the other two. Code review is critical. Devs should be discussing changes and design choices. One Dev can not be all things all the time and other people have experience you do not or can remind you of things you forgot. Programming language absolutely matters when you’re not the only dev on the team.

I used to think something like this when I was younger. I spent an inordinate amount of time looking for good gui versions of cli tools. I have come to understand that this is not usually the case and cli tools are more convenient much of the time. I would not classify this as superiority complex, unless I’m being a jerk about it. I don’t care what you use, I just use whatever has the lowest barrier to entry with the most standardization, which is usually the original cli tool.

That said, jetbrains git integration is awesome.
