[Kind of weekly thread] Men over 30, how is your week going? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Last week of break before I have to head back to work, and we've had a typhoon for most of it. 3 official days off work for everyone. I'm getting right tired of the torrential rain, and keeping balcony drains cleared, but otherwise ok.

How Would You Handle Students Cheating? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (4 children)

There has to be evidence of their process for me to accept it as evidence of understanding/ability. I have made it clear to them that this is necessary. Their job is to convince me that they know what they're doing. (But... I'm teaching HS Mathematics). So .. I'd mark it wrong/incomplete. I'm also working on student understanding of consequences of their actions, so wouldn't give them another opportunity on that exam. They would need to improve things on the next exam.

Transcendental, even.

Has anyone used a programmable keyboard with "home row mods" like this? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I have been using home row mods for about 6 months now, and followed this page to tweak timings. I adjusted pretty quickly, and while will still sometimes end up with incorrect inputs, my typing has become crisper (to avoid unwanted mods). I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I really like using my middle fingers for shift.

Autism in families / displacement in families in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, this resonates. It would make for interesting research, to get away from our self-selecting anecdotal evidence. I have my own suspicion that major family issues also encourage people to move abroad, and that this can become intergenerational....

We are only using a 2d world in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

This is where fractal/fractional dimensions become useful. Living on the surface of the earth puts us in a dimension between 2 and 3, and varies depending on the environment you're living in.

HillSideView | A modified Hillside 46 with nice!view, large battery, 3dp case and cirque support in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Thank you so much for sharing all that! I've been putting off building a wireless hillside 46(I'm really enjoying my wired one, but the wires are annoying me), and your modifications makes it perfect for me.

3D-printed carrot does not rely on large areas of land or maintenance costs, can be cheaper in c/[email protected]

Grow carrots. Make goop. Print carrots from goop. Makes perfect sense.

3D printed Ergo kb parts: SLA vs. FDM? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I see. Thanks for sharing. I'll check it out.

3D printed Ergo kb parts: SLA vs. FDM? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can you share the files for your case? I'm wanting to make the same (Hillside 40, no?), but can only find files for a 46, and am hoping to avoid the learning curve needed for 3d modeling. Thanks.

First keyboard build! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And thanks to Suraj Kurapati's own issues and config modifications (https://sunaku.github.io/home-row-mods.html) along with a lighter touch in my typing, typing is much cleaner now for me, with only very rare mods being inadvertently triggered. Very happy with how things are going. Now for a wireless version.

Now that I'm used to my hillside, I'm starting to think about a wireless option, and this one is at the top of my list. It looks good!

First keyboard build! (slrpnk.net)
 

So, after some playing around trying to figure out a preferred physical layout, I decided a Hillside 46 splayed keyboard would be about right. Thanks to Leo at Beekeeb for answering all my questions before ordering and during the build! Surface mount soldering was tricky, but everything works on the first try! I finally can use Dvorak with keycaps in the right place. Keymapping is a work in progress as I am getting used to this, and I am still trying to figure out how to get my Unicode characters to display in Linux (though for the Mac they show up fine). Now for lots of practice to build up new muscle memory, and develop a lighter touch so I don't keep inputting command characters unintentionally.

Natto in progress (slrpnk.net)
 

Started a batch of natto this evening. 600g of dry soybeans soaked about 8 hours, then pressure cooked for 20 minutes. Mixed in some spores, put a thin layer of the beans in these glass containers, then covered with a damp cloth and lids. I'll keep these in my makeshift incubator (a cooler with a reptile cage heating mat) overnight at 40C, then put them in the fridge in the morning, and enjoy them the day after.

Lacto-fermented Torshi Liteh (slrpnk.net)
 

I have some Iranian friends who occasionally bring pickles over to share. I decided to make a fermented version (as my friends usually just use vinegar), and the pickles turned out amazing!

Be warned, this recipe requires a lot of chopping.

I used a recipe similar to the link, but substituted the vinegar with a 2% salt lactoferment. The spicing is crucial to its distinct flavour.

Park composting (slrpnk.net)
 

This is our local park composting setup for leaves and grass, not long after having removed finished material. Leaves (browns) are abundant in late winter, and grass is abundant in summer. Water is usually an issue, as volunteers who take leaves don't have time to wet everything down, so that usually gets resolved when we turn the compost (a community event 2-3 times a year). We just had an automatic watering system installed, so that should help. Doors are attached with wingnuts and come off fairly easily.

Ginger yeast sodas (slrpnk.net)
 

I'm digging up some old photos to share. I'm partial to ginger beers, and experimented with other flavours available here (in Taiwan). Roselle is our favourite (with lemon, of course), and always carbonated quickly. Turmeric by itself was too much flavour-wise, but half and half with ginger was tasty.
