Avis à toutes les du fedivers! (toutes les femmes.)

Je suis en train de dessiner plein de patrons et j'aurais besoin de mesures! Je vous explique.

Je suis en train de faire quelques modèles "fonds de base" à partir desquels décliner à peu près toutes les sapes du monde sur un logiciel de dessin paramétrique.

Le dessin paramétrique, ça veut juste dire que si je donne suffisamment de points de repère à mon programme, je pourrai justement modifier les mesures que je lui donne sans "casser" le modèle que j'ai dessiné, qui s'adaptera tout seul.

Ce que ça veut dire concrètement :

  • un patron qui n'est pas "le plus proche de ce qui m'ira bien" mais sur mesure, à tous les coups
  • on ne parle plus de tailles (fuck les tailles, toi-même tu sais)

Mais pour pouvoir mettre mes modèles à l'épreuve j'ai besoin d'un max de mesures diversifiées pour le casser jusqu'à ce qu'il ne casse plus (et ça sert à rien de prendre un tableau de mesures normalisées parce que c'est justement ce qu'on veut plus).

Bien sûr j'anonymise complètement vos mesures, j'en fais rien d'autre, et vous avez absolument le droit de ne pas me faire confiance avec ça, je comprendrai tout à fait.

Et bien sûr, les patrons que j'aurai produit avec votre aide seront complètement gratos pour vous.

Soyez patientes, par contre, arriver à des résultats convaincants pourrait me prendre plusieurs mois!

Vous pouvez me DM ou m'envoyer vos tableaux à moe.blacksmith@morayner.org si vous avez la gentillesse de vouloir contribuer à ce projet

(et messieurs, ça vient. juste je m'occupe de nous d'abord.)

Edit : interdiction de rentrer le ventre, prenez vos mesures plutôt confortables que serrées, plusieurs fois pour être sûres. Vous êtes belles anyway, autant être belles ET confortables.

now polyphase buck has gotten relatively cheap and easy to design around, I wonder what the cutoff point is where it becomes cheaper to build with multiple small phases than one big one. board area of polyphase is likely always larger but on the other hand the inductors and caps can be smaller so there's less height.

@gsuberland you will not regret polyphase.

Loved reading this article. 💚

As a youngster, I made my first Deluxe Paint pixel art on an Amiga 1000 in 1986. Coming from a Commodore 64 with a fixed palette of 16 colors, the Amiga was revolutionary at the time.

I went on to use "DPaint" professionally on a daily basis for around 10 years, creating pixel graphics for games, advertising agencies and television shows.

So… Big Tech is allowed to blatantly steal the work, styles and therewith the job opportunities of thousands of artists and writers without being reprimanded, but it takes similarity to the voice of a famous actor to spark public outrage about AI. 🤔

This is clearly not meant to be disassembled. Anyone have ideas? I assume the textured side has to be some kind of nut?

(It's fried and constantly trips with no load giving the "internal fault" LED code, curious what's inside and if there's any visible damage)

@azonenberg It looks like a pop rivet, I would just drill it and install a screw for reassembly.

A dubious idea I have about cutting curved dovetails so a box would look like an impossible dovetail box, but would in fact have the top open on an arc rather than a diagonal slide like most impossible dovetails.
The axis of rotation is the left corner, where there's a green line.

f4grx,
@f4grx@chaos.social avatar

@mcdanlj @smellsofbikes the cover will be particularly tricky to mill to the exact dovetail travel radiuses. Much harder than the box itself, in fact. Many adjustments will be required I guess.

Properly photographing a 3.5" floppy disk for archival is annoyingly complicated. The label has THREE sides!

I've already built an automated system to take a picture of the front of a disk, but really I need to take THREE photos if I want to get the whole thing.

That means either three cameras or I need to rotate the disk 90° and then 180°, which is going to really stress the limits of my mechanical engineering skills.

f4grx,
@f4grx@chaos.social avatar

@foone Why not smaller rails, moved by a servo?

To avoid the dual camera you can put the camera on a sliding carriage moved by another servo (via a lever) to adjust the focus when imaging the side. two positions 1.75 inch apart are enough.

TIL that mustard plants grow very tall and have purple flowers that bees really like. I planted them because they're a great "grow literally anywhere" plant you can just yeet into the ground and leave to do their thing, and they're great at weed suppression and outcompeting grasses, but I didn't know they'd end up looking nice and making the bees happy too.

... now I'm in the mood to do some guerilla gardening.

@metin visible they are, but what about screen readers for blind people? Will they recognize words with these unicode chars, or just recite the unicode descriptions of individual letters one by one?

On the other hand, these readers handle normal alt text of a pic very well.

f4grx,
@f4grx@chaos.social avatar

@mbt3d @metin oh this is great, a large thank you for actually checking that!

Edit: hmm are we sure? The debug view shows the unicode string is readable. That does not mean a screen reader will interpret it as an ASCII string. These accessibility tools are usually not very smart. But I cant find a simple to use screen reader after a 30sec google search.

f4grx,
@f4grx@chaos.social avatar

@metin @mbt3d sorry, but I will strongly disagree with that. I recognize that I cant change your mind myself, however.
