Probably more power than any actual king in the modern era.

Honestly images were a step too far. And bring back the blink tag.

Is flutter still a thing?

Yeah but you can hack some shit together in jQuery real easy like

Like Flash?

OMFG do not bring 3D fps websites upon us

And it was glorious.

Wasn’t it just money laundering for the most part?

I’ve never touched on the unit circle or conic sections as part of formal education, so I can’t really comment. The quadratic formula - occasionally. Almost all of the maths I learned at school until age 16 was practical or useful in some sense. In the UK maths is optional after the age of 16.

I’d argue my maths education at high school level gave me a sturdy understanding of day to day maths, the building blocks for more advanced topics and the knowledge that certain tools exist and how to use them should I need them. I won’t remember the specifics of everything, but a quick refresher is usually enough.

Again, most of the more advanced stuff in the UK is optional and mostly not done by anyone who won’t want to carry that on to a more advanced level - usually a degree with a STEM adjacent subject.

Honestly I don’t know anyone who doesn’t use it on a fairly regular basis.

If we keep redefining maths to not include the bits of maths that are inconvenient to people’s arguments it all sort of becomes pointless.

Who doesn’t use maths on a day to day basis?

I reckon so, they were pretty low profile before and e-books and journal articles likely don’t draw the same audience as a huge open library of music.

Tbh they’re probably fucked now they’ve painted a huge target on their backs.

Glass is absolutely not guaranteed to be flat or without defect. Some glasses are. Mirrors have to be or they don’t work, they come precut in 300x300mm plates for cheap from IKEA. You’re free to check absolutely any thread from the time to see what people’s motivations were. Moving mass on a bedslinger would’ve been a bigger consideration.

No they don’t, they pick mirrors because they’re guaranteed to be flat at a low price.

Oh nice plan. Rack Robo’s wire EDM kit is interesting looking too (though they seem to be sold out). My old CR10 is earmarked for a voron-ish build but that’d be my second choice I think.

Do you already have a resin printer? I guess it depends what your plan for it would be, but honestly they’re a pain in ass most of the time, the resin is Satan’s own fluid and you need to set the time aside for a post print wash/cure cycle. Have you considered converting the ender to something else?

I’m starting to realise that a big part of why self hosting works is the customisability of it. There’s no financial incentive for Google or whomever to make sure process A has an interface to talk to process B because it’s a minority use case in their clientbase.

Self hosting - either someone has already had the same issue and made a plugin or I can create a shim of some description to make the two things talk to each other that wouldn’t be practical at scale.

Like adjective order in English. If you point it out to the average native speaker more than likely they won’t even know they do it.
