And now my parents want a fax machine and I don't know what year we have any more.

just assumes in his guides that the ssh-keygen command is simply available in a windows console. That's a bit optimistic.

Saw Adam Savage visit Artisan Asylum, a big in Somerville, MA, US.
I can't get my head around how they finance this. That are six-figure sums they need upfront. Membership fees are 75-175$ a month.
How come they find hundreds of people willing to spend thousands of dollars a year for just a hobby, while we usually get to hear that 20Euro per month 'is a bit too much' here in Germany?

Fun Fact: It's almost ten years now since I graduated, but my alma mater still has no official English translation of my branch of study.

A TCL tool that generates a JSON output wich is uploaded to CVS, then downloaded by a PHP script that is configured with a YML file and feed to a Python script to generate C++ code.

What a wonderful world.

My project is on hold, but I've heard Ublox is disabling RAW support on their cheaper M8N chips with the newest firmware, so I'd have to buy an expensive M8T if I need another one.
Maybe I need to order some M8N now to get some with old firmware.
On the other hand: the really cheap receivers are fake ones anyway, so they might never update.

Reading Books again instead of just starting to code. I know it's not the best way to learn, but due to certain circumstances involving a newborn to take care of, I can only use mobile, one-hand-held devices at the moment..

Is there e term for it when a system has less uptime then what is needed to install the updates that keep rolling in?

Reading some (old) books about Android dev right now.
Just the old problem that any example project I can think of is either too trivial or too complex.

I've been wondering if maybe the CW interface is backwards.

Maybe the end user (reader) should define what content words they would like to be hidden behind a CW, rather than expecting all authors to anticipate the triggers of all potential audiences.

It seems like it would fix a lot of the pain points. Are there any it would cause?

More small additions to the : a countersink and some tweezers.

Guess who accidentally deleted some important certificate files because he saved and used them for 2y from a "Downloads" folder and didn't bother to even back them up.

Still digging into that Android Dev stuff. Looking at libGDX now, but not sure if an engine is actually overkill. Just wanted to see how fast/easy I could implement a puzzle game like the ones my 3yo plays.

So cool 😍

This is a the biggest MacroProcessor in the world, like a PC but only with physical transistor and LEDS everywhere so you can see exactly what it's doing!

They can even control its speed so you can see how it's really working!

Such a wonderful pedagogical tool <3

And of course it's playing tetris.

"Hello World"-App actually builds and runs on my phone.
That's more than I expected.

(Of course it crashes after even the first modification to the template code.)

Dumb idea of the evening: let's update the Android Studio installation and see if I can code a quick Android app.
Spoiler: No, I won't even finish getting the IDE set up before I need to go to sleep.

Does anyone know why in Marlin configuration files it says "300" for max feed rate but in gcode (in Repetier Host) I can set this up to 18000 (as in G0 X100 F18000) although both should be millimetres per second?
