Nim is an awesome language, but I've never seen nimskull before. I'm eager to see how it evolves.

Hot take, but the original GBA had one of the nicest reflective LCDs ever. I'd even prefer it over the SP in most (well lit) cases.

I will say I do like the metallic silver. Very 2000s.

Btrfs my beloved. Things stop working? Just load a snapshot lol.

How to learn Rust? in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

People already suggested it, but rustlings is awesome.

One thing I like to do is think of something I often do in another language, then Google how to do it in rust, i.e. dynamic dispatch. The way rust does it with traits is really interesting.

Seen it coming in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

Thank you for the spoiler tag, that was pretty NSFL

Raytracing/pathtracing gets a bad rap imo. It's a really cool effect that, while costly, improves the scene dramatically. Really wish more companies were pushing it, because now that Nvidia has moved on to "AI" I'm worried that it'll die out a bit.

Ah. Seems like the effect varies from person to person I guess. Are there any studies on it? I'm kinda interested now.

Horrible underextrusion (sh.itjust.works)

Hey. A couple weeks ago I got my old ender 3 pro out of the basement and have been trying to get a decent print with it ever since. I managed to print out one benchy without issue, but ever since then every print I do would be plagued with awful underextrusion.

I've replaced a few parts, including the hot end and the nozzle, and even did this one hack someone suggested where you put a piece of PTFE tubing in the hotend, but no matter what the issue persists. My thought was it might be the creality filament I ordered, so I ordered a spool of hatchbox filament. But the problem ended up being worse on the hatchbox filament. I've put both in a filament dehydrator but it's made no difference. Both spools have tough sections along them that don't seem to melt as easily when I pull them out of the extruder, so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it.

Turning the print speed down and increasing the flow and temperature yielded better results, but it was still underextruding on every other layer.

I want to know if there's something I can or should do before I just give in and buy another roll of filament. I've probably spent enough at this point to buy a better printer, but I guess that's sunk cost for ya.

Edit: SOLVED! I just forgot to tighten the extruder tension arm, now it's working perfectly. Thanks to @brettvitaz@programming.dev
