Another possibility is something is wrong with the alignment and they’re not parallel. They could be wide enough at the base but get too close together going higher up.

That’s actually awesome they sent you anything useful at all.

Can we get those settings for adults too?

It’s really nice seeing the project continue to move forward after Mozilla took out support.

Looks like it only exports them as 3d models and not CAD files

How do you open the files though?

Please do Amazon next

File a complaint with the labor board. They can investigate and if they find out they used your solution you can get paid and they can get a fine on top of that.

It’s great for getting started at understanding. You can not become fluent with it though.

It likely is. The browser UI is also really old.
- Comment on Tesla's reputation slumps as GM, Ford climb - Tesla ranked 62nd by reputation among the 100 most visible brands, tumbling from 12th last year and 8th in 2021. 11 months ago:
The plug is becoming a standard. There are still many more stations needed to increase EV usage for people who live in apartments or doing road trips. Not everyone is relying on them for providing charging. It’s sad that they’re the only ones who actually maintain their infrastructure
- Comment on How do I fix this? Is it the spring or something else? 11 months ago:
I’m not at all experienced in fixing these but some ideas come to mind: I doubt it’s the spring, that would just control rotation of the main rod unless it somehow bent the rod. Could be the tracks on the side are becoming misaligned. That could be from loose track. That might be hard to tell with the door installed due to weight, someone might know of a way to check this.
You also might need to consider that the floor underneath is sinking on the gap side. Are there any cracks in the garage floor? Any cracks on nearby walls? This can happen naturally or due to a leaking pipe where water underground washes away the supporting sand/dirt under the building.
- Comment on I wrote a program for my boss. How legal is to to write the program again and make it FOSS? 11 months ago:
Not a lawyer, but worked closely with them in the past. It REALLY depends on your employment contract. Changing variable names and language still makes it a derivative work, so it would depend on the original license. I’m assuming it doesn’t have a license which would mean either you or the company owns the copyright: depends on your employment contract. Whether you’re a contractor or full time also affects ownership.
Without ownership or a license, you do not have the legal right to copy the work or make a derivative of it.
I’m not clear on whether you actually wrote any code though. If that’s the case (that no code was written) then I’m not really sure how that works out. If you do post it and they find out, AND they’re mad about it, you could definitely get fired. I’m not sure if there could also be legal trouble or not.
If you need it for a resume item, you can just list it on your resume and talk about it. You could also implement it on your own time (but not share it until you’re sure you’re safe from legal action), that way you could talk about tradeoffs you’ve made, etc. in the real implementation.
In general, if you’re not sure and you’re worried about getting sued, you should ask a lawyer.

HD encryption only helps if they get physical access to the disk when the device is locked or powered off. If they get it via a backdoor or virus, then it doesn’t help.
- Comment on Pebble, a startup that tried and failed to take on Twitter, finds new life on Mastodon | TechCrunch 11 months ago:
How would you make money as a mastodon instance? Pay to be a member? I don’t see the incentive for the average user to pay when it’s so easy to join a free instance (I’m considering the average person doesn’t know how to host their own).
- Comment on What languages are well suited for testing SDKs written in multiple other languages? 1 year ago:
How complex are the API calls you need to make? Debugging interop mismatch can end up being more work than writing the tests if you need to deal with complex types.
- Comment on What's the dumbest thing you've shipped? 1 year ago:
Had a team of 10 working nights and weekends for a month because someone in sales sold a contract for an integration with a 3rd party that didn’t exist yet. In the years I was there after that project shipped, only 1 person even looked at the feature, one time. It never actually got used

Cleaning dog paws. You fill it with water and move it up and down the paw. The little arms clean off the dirt.

It required a cryptanalyst to write hello world.
- Comment on Which programming language is hard to understand? 1 year ago:
Even worse is Windows batch scripts. The syntax also changes depending on if it’s in the terminal or run from a file
- Comment on Neat trick for desoldering many-pin components 1 year ago:
I thought it might be useful to move the iron back and forth a little for long rows. Wouldn’t be perfectly even but would be better than concentrating heat in the center.
- Comment on Neat trick for desoldering many-pin components 1 year ago:
This trick might be more useful for people who are budget constrained. In the past I’ve resorted to cutting the plastic between the headers (making them unusable), so this is a nice alternative without the need for another tool. If budget wasn’t an issue I’d likely buy a much nicer iron and an extra wide knife-style tip.
