It turns the list of g-code commands into a time series database, so like cron in Linux.
This enables possibilities such as moving the tool head to a second position before it has arrived at the first or insisting how fast the print bed is going to take to heat.

Then I apologise for doubting. I was not aware the 3D printer community was suffering from this horrible crash problem.

Having build printers that do just that, I can confirm that you do not ever try to optimise printers while they are running production jobs. t-code is a solution looking for a problem, and it's having to go via some outrageous leaps of logic to find a problem.

Given the federate and distance in the G0 / G1 instructions and acceleration variables used by the printer, a simple function can give the exact time.
The differences you mention are the acceleration variables constrained by the limits of hardware, you can't make those better with software.

G-code instructions are time based, it is what the G1 F value is in tool path instructions.
You should not wait until after the g-code is generated before your slicer starts to resolve tool head collisions.

The problem is that we could not interact meaningful with such life. So, no immune reaction or predation of, for example, an escaped mirror algae that proceeds to grow in and smother every living thing.

TL;DR They have a proprietary solution, t-code, for CNC controller's that choke on meta data in g-code stream. This problem is only found where the CPU clock is close (x10 to x100) to the stepper motor step freq', so it affects no real-world devices.

I like to imagine the thermal couple in the food thermometer was calibrated in a similar manner.
It's just turtles, all the way down.

Coca cola never took it out. In 1904 they went from processed cocaine extracted from coca leaves to "coca leaf extract" and today use the only remaining (legal) factory that processes coca leaves in the USA, the Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey.

My new home has the jankiest water heater right next to my bed. I have adorned it with carbon monoxide alarms as if they are talisman to drive away spirits of sickness.

The British attacked with the Sun to their backs at sun-rise or sun-set, this is the best camouflage against an enemy you're making look directly at the Sun.

Try to limit your website's memory usage to a single page of memory, else you'll need to upgrade from a .com to a .exe domain name.

The Grid Compass came out before this, it has the same form but the battery was an optional extra.
The early 1980's had a fair few "laptops" which needed external power. For portable with batteries the market was full of A4 sized notebooks running on the same CPU as the first Gameboy, the Zillog Z80

Active. Most of what your brain does is filter input, so only a tiny amount of it hits higher brain functions. ADHD makes filtering harder for me as my brain wants to process everything.

This was something I found out out when learning to paint cars. A not uncommon cause of death in car restoration is people applying paint stripper then adding something to hurry the process along, usually the heat of a blow torch. The result is near instant death, or death with no warning symptoms.

Be careful, paint strippers can break down into some spectacularly toxic gases if exposed to heat or other chemicals.

It was to fake the boot-up speed. XP took a long time to boot compared to other operating systems at the time. To "fix" this problem the desktop would be brought up in the middle of the boot sequence, as opposed to the end of it.

I only need to do this if the bearings or read heads have failed. It is far safer to swap circuit boards and leave the platters in the protective housing.

I'm guessing the limiting factor is how long the firmware can survive on the EPROM without power.

If the media and government told you repeatedly that was how gym memberships worked, would you be foolish for believing them?

This is the consequence having an unregulated media controlled by a few oligarchs. The British people made a good decision based on bad information. Why would they vote to stay in the EU if they could keep all the benefits of membership and increase NHS funding by leaving?

We know what tech' works and that you can't run a civilisation without base load power. We are in the middle of a climate catastrophe with one of the the main oppositions to fighting it arguing that "what if a new technology comes along like supper batteries or geothermal"

It can be recycled into new fuel. It becomes waste not because it's used up, but it comes to contain by-products that absorb neutrons. Though if you wanted to put it underground, it would be really difficult for someone to get killed by it.

From the summary of the article that you linked "...the expansion of ... new methods of energy management and storage *can* lead to a [renewable] grid that is reliable..."
This is what I said.

The modern microwave you have in your kitchen is a different technology which was invented by Englishman Dr James Lovelock (the Gaia theory guy) as a human device for the revivification of frozen hamsters as part of the space program.

Aren't these all good things for Trump? I think he's viewed as strong by his supporters precisely because he can lie, cheat, rape, defraud and cause mass deaths without repercussions. They get to watch him live out their fanaticises.

So many of you are yelling "Hack the Planet" while not being able to get two HP servers in a rack to overheat to keep warm the boxed takeaway pizza placed between.
At the other end of the spectrum is the Chaos Computer Club Waffle Operation Center

While you studied the blade, I was doing ill-advised Meyer's drills with a sledgehammer. Now I can stoccata with a longsword.

After years of making my own 3D printed parts I finally replaced my Pebble with a Garmin solar surf, which physically feels very similar. It would be interesting if the newly open-sourced PebbleOS can be ported to such devices.

I've a tiny 10/100 switch that can not route packets if the IP of public Debian or Ubuntu repositories are in the packet header. So I can believe that some firmware engineer with no oversight is trying to make a little extra money with a half-ass cyber attack. Or the flashing computer is infected.

I like to imagine the person who designed this goes around telling people that they are bi-sexual and often gets a reply like "I don't believe you, prove it" in a flirting voice.
It's nice to imagine that someone's existence making lesbians angry.

I am unclear on why this would matter, if you are both having fun.
