This seems like exactly the sort of rule that should be applied at the community level. Instance level rules should be kept as minimal as possible.

100% of people who say shit like this in reference to Norway don't know that Norway isn't a member of the EU.

Vancouver Island here. Happy to see a woodworking community getting going here already, and hoping to see a bigger rock climbing community on lemmy in the future. Thanks for hosting!

This way the weight of the saw and therefore the cutting force will always be concentrated on a small number if teeth, which are able to slice deeper thanks to the extra force. Remember that when crosscutting you need to slice wood fibers. Rather than shear them as you do when ripping.

As for 1. I'm told they're getting rid of websockets in the next release, which should mean this annoying behavior goes away as well.

I'd probably chuck them into the drill press and take a rasp to them. You could get it consistent by using a consistent technique, and checking them against a gauge (e.g. cut a profile in a piece of cardboard).

I do not think it's fair to assume that everyone came to lemmy for the same reasons as you. I for one came because I didn't like the decisions they were making, not because I had any strong feelings about the ethics of those decisions.

For weight, they forgot to add: if it's for advertising a price, it's in $/lbs (though you will be charged in $/kg). The butcher knows damn well that steaks advertised at $15/lbs sell better than steaks at $33/kg.

Yeah, no offense to the admins who I'm sure are just trying to do their users right, but stuff like this is making me see the value of running my own instance, or at perhaps finding a more hands-off one. It's weird to me that instance admins (or popular votes) make the decisions about what content I get to have access to.

Are you saying I can subscribe to this community without negatively affecting my blood pressure? I'm slightly skeptical but I'll give it a try.

My big question is why can't we have auto-generated links to the appropriate lemmy.ca page for communities on remote instances. It seems odd that following links to communities takes you to the host instance when you generally speaking you won't be logged in there. Hopefully this feature will come in the future (or maybe it already exists but I haven't found it)

I'd imagine your best bet is reading through the w3c spec if you want protocol details. I think reading it directly is probably approachable enough for a CS student and should be a good exercise.

This is just a rant about personal frustrations. I even probably agree with him on most of these things, but I don't think we need to share this kind of thing here. So tired of threads about how much we all hate and disagree with each other's languages. It's better if the rust people get rust and the go people get go. There is no one holy grail of a language that everyone is going to like.

Not trying to insert my own opinion but I believe it's because the core Lemmy devs actually admin and/or are involved in said instance. Well verify for yourself but somebody said it's hosted from the same IP as lemmy.ml. And the core devs comment and moderation histories are public for all to see.

For what it's worth, i just used the "add to Home Screen" feature on my phone's web browser (from my instance homepage) and it's working great. Indistinguishable from a normal "app" experience. In my case Safari on iOS but i doubt it matters.

Edit: looks like this: this

Well at your level you just need to be learning movements naturally. I.e. keep going climbing. Climb as often as you can while still recovering properly between sessions. My advice for learning basic technique is to watch better climbers climb, ask them to show you how THEY do a boulder that's at the top end of your ability, and try to mimic them. Work on making your V2s feel effortless. Don't just move on and forget a boulder after you top it the first time.

When you DO finish a V3 you're going to be sitting at that grade for probably a lot longer than you sat at V2s, and longer still when you're at V4, so... uh... get used to that is my advice. How quickly you can progress depends a lot on your body composition coming into the sport as well as how often you train (with proper recovery). Stop focusing so much on reaching the next grade, start practicing the basics, and the grades will come naturally. You MIGHT be able to get away with sending the odd juggy V3, but you're never getting anywhere without basic technique, which only comes from a lots of practice.

Edit -- by the way. Usually when people talk about plateauing at a grade... they mean they've been stuck there for years, not weeks. Yes, beginner gains are much faster but a few weeks is nothing, your body is just starting to think about maybe making muscle and tendon adaptations for climbing... with the all-important tendons being much slower to adapt than muscles.

Thanks. I'm not sure that's exactly what I'm imagining, because this still involves hard-coding an instance to the link. People from many different instances might be viewing the link, so I'd imagine a flow like: when you mouse-hover a link to a community, a little popup appears which provides a custom link based on your home instance. So whether !fediverse@lemmy.ml is a link to the lemmy.ml or lemmy.ca domain wouldn't matter, ideally you'd always get the option of viewing the community from your home instance at a single click. Hope that makes sense, today is my first day after all.

Most friction will be from the sides of the blade rubbing against the kerf. I believe it's just about concentrating force onto those teeth (which are essentially knives on crosscut saws, alongside chip clearing teeth).

I guess browser extension would be well suited to add account-switching/aggregating. Likewise mobile apps.

I agree with you. Golang is a useful symbol for things like a community ID, but the human readable name is "Go Programming Language".
