- Comment on Looking to get my first 3d printer, any suggestions? 5 weeks ago:
Ive had an ender 3 pro for about 5 years. Setting it up was straight forward I just followed a YouTube video which had some tips to help make sure the frame was square.
Ive never used the included slicer. Only Cura which is pretty great.
It’s definitely not the fastest but it’s a great beginner 3d printer and there is no requirement to tinker with it. I just level the bed and print each time. No problems 5 years in. (I did have to replace the removable print bed top at one point but that was partly because I’d gouged it before I learned how to level it)
- Comment on Day 380 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 months ago:
It’s friends only where you can join the game a friend is running. (Also splitscreen if you’re local). It’s super customisable by the person who sets the game up. Pretty much everything is adjustable.
- Comment on What is Docker? 5 months ago:
I don’t think I really understood docker until I watched this video which takes you through building up a docker-like container system from scratch. It’s very understandable and easy to follow if you have a basic understanding of Linux operating systems. I recommend it to anyone I know working with docker:

- Comment on Could I render the computer-generated graphics from Toy Story (1995) in real time using a single modern home computer? 5 months ago:
Others have covered the topic of modern renders and their shortcuts but if you wanted an exact replica I think films like this are rendered on large HPC clusters.
Looking at the Top500 stats for HPCs the average top500 cluster in 1995 was 1.1TFlops, and today that seems to be around 23.4PFlops.
An increase of approximate 21,000 times.
So 800,000 hours from 1995 is about 37 hours on today’s average top500 cluster.
