@david@daiwei.me Absolutely insane! For almost all the tools I always need two hands for sure. I can’t imagine using just a single one. And then his stuff turns out 100 times better than I could ever do.

There are advantages with just a single hand, though. I cut myself in the finger with scissors earlier. How stupid is that! :-D

@david@daiwei.me Thanks, mate! I just finished my two full version marking gauges. And I’m rather pleased with them, I think they turned out great if I say so myself.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/streichmass-mit-messerrad/

The beech fences (80 and 100mm long) were part of a former table frame that I cut down. I plugged the dowel holes with, well, dowels. The horrific looking one was the stuck original one, though. Luckily, it’s a hell lot worse on camera than in person. If you take a close look, you’ll also be able to see the large but slight chamfers one one side each that I just left alone.

I really like beech wood. It looks beautiful, is rather heavy (at least in comparison to spruce which I typically use) and thus rock solid, is also a blast to plane and the list goes on. I sanded it with 180 grit and it’s smooth as a baby’s bottom.

The 25mm beech round stocks that house the brass knurled nuts are now roughly 4cm long. That’s one thing I wanted to change right after my first experience. If they were rounded or chamfered more, it would probably be even nicer for the fingers when using the marking gauge. They’re sunken in roughly 3mm in the fences. A forstner bit made quick work. This simplified alignment during glue-up a lot. Will definitely do that again if I happen to build more. I could fully concentrate on the grain orientation and it didn’t shift around.

Just like in the prototype, I used 8mm aluminium solid round bar again for one of the marking gauges. It’s also about 15cm in length. I figure that’s enough. The bought marking gauge has a twenty-something and some change steel rod. So far, all my markings didn’t even exceed probably 50mm.

I found the 8mm brass pipe laying around on the workshop. Didn’t know anymore I had it for ages. Unfortunately, the wall thickness is below a millimeter, so my 6mm wooden dowels are sliding in there. Thus, I put 8mm dowels in my drill chuck and reduced the diameter with a rasp. I went a tiny bit too far, the press fit is on the loose side. When drilling with a 2mm drill (I did that on purpose to hopefully cause the dowel to expand a bit more in the pipe, typically the tap hole for M3 is 2.5mm) and tapping M3, the downsized and glued in dowel slipped down the pipe. Should have used construction adhesive or something along those lines. Anyway, I might replace it with a solid one. I consider this a half-successful experiment. I fear that an unfavorable grain direction might pull out the cutting wheel during use. Let’s see.

The finish of all three is boiled linseed oil. It looks nice, but oh by, this smell. I really dislike it. My hands stink even after washing them several times. I still got several liters left, so I have the dubious joy to use it on many, many other projects to come.

Oh, one last thing. Didn’t manage to drill the tiny holes for my M3x16 bolts perfectly in center like for the prototype. They’re a tiny bit off. Also, on the longer fenced marking gauge, the hole for the knurled nut is a little to the side and at an angle. No idea how I messed this up. Luckily, it’s just a look thing but doesn’t impair use.

‘Supergirl’ Movie Criticized for Script, Poor Visual Effects
The Onion joked the new movie Supergirl is about a hero who must single-handedly save the world “after the catastrophic collapse of interest in the genre.”

Yeah. It’s a peculiar situation.

On one hand, I can count on my fingers (ha! fingers… one hand…) how many power losses we have in a year on the last few decades.

On the other hand, I live in an old part of the town and the infrastructure is equal parts a joke in bad taste, an archeological defiance, and an ugly mistake that needs to be killed with fire. (On second thought, maybe not the last part).

This month we started having power failures only on some apartments, which make no sense at all. When we call the power company, they always promise to send someone to check on it, but the power comes back in one or two hours.

The first time it happened, I suspect it damaged my PC’s mainboard and / or GPU, who are both showing random, subtly erratic behaviors.

I would have been too lazy to take photos when my fingers were freezing off. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve got the same problem that you had the other day: finding past temperature data. But yeah, it looked much warmer than it actually was. Maybe 5°C? Possibly less when I found myself in the snow- and rainstorm in the end.

With the wind, my fingers were frozen. I should have worn gloves. Without them, I could only put my hands in the pockets of my jacket. That didn’t help much, though, because I frequently stopped to take yet another photo, so they cooled off again right away. :-D

Balancing the big/long, closed umbrella under my arm while I had my hands burried was also a little tricky.

First world problems. :-)

Spent basically the entire day (except for the mandatory walk) fighting with Python’s type hints. But, the result is that my widget toolkit now passes mypy --strict.

I really, really don’t want to write larger pieces of software without static typing anymore. With dynamic typing, you must test every code path in your program to catch even the most basic errors. pylint helps a bit (doesn’t need type hints), but that’s really not enough.

Also, somewhere along the way, I picked up a very bad (Python) programming style. (Actually, I know exactly where I picked that up, but I don’t want to point the finger now.) This style makes heavy use of dicts and tuples instead of proper classes. That works for small scripts, but it very quickly turns into an absolute mess once the program grows. Prime example: jenny. 😩

I have a love-hate relationship with Python’s type hints, because they are meaningless at runtime, so they can be utterly misleading. I’m beginning to like them as an additional safety-net, though.

(But really, if correctness is the goal, you either need to invest a ton of time to get 100% test coverage – or don’t use Python.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no wonder I picked that cake (albeit coincidentally), I adore almonds, and hazelnuts! Your teammates are absolutely amazing, dude! A very nice project farewell! On leaving places I have a small anecdote.

I know someone who on 3 February 2004 left his job to go elsewhere. At the time his teammates threw a party, and gave him a very nice portable storage. Twenty days later, he returned, and jokingly they asked him for the storage, and money spent on farewell party back. I heard, from a close source, that he gave them his middle finger, but don’t quote me on that. 😂😂😂

@bender@twtxt.net To add some context, I’m not one to write open letters often, nor do I expect to become some kind of martyr, the European Union will unite over, to fight Google.

However Google did loose to Epic Games in European courts, that determined Google maintains a monopoly over its Play Store, restricting competition and developers choices. And pretty much right after courts determined this, Google gives them the middle finger and proposes changes, that would destroy F-droid - the biggest and really the only competing app store, that’s actually competing and not just taking the apps from Googles Play Store and passing them on.

There are many more qualified and likable parties, who already reached out to them, with these concerns, I just think it’s important everyone impacted by this, politely contacts them too, to convey this is not just some niche non-issue, a few IT nerds made up.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 31°C here, feels like 33°C, with a lovely 75% of humidity. It has been raining, on and off (to make matter “better”) the whole day until now. No horses here, but if you go outside you will smell the same smell of farm animals (like goats, or pigs). That’s because two or three kilometres from here there are private farms, and when the wind blows in such way, well, we are reminded of their existence.

I haven’t left the house, so it feels well under air conditioning. In two more hours I will call it quits from the work day, and will have to dash to the grocery to get supplies for tonight’s meal (arroz con gandules). I will let you know how it truly feels out there then. :-D

For those swollen fingers, nothing better than a mildly cold shower! Oh, and paws off the keyboard! :-P
