only sort of.

this is the original document defining markdown, and you'll notice it doesn't really specify a lot of the things that have compatibility issues across different markdown processors, along with allowing arbitrary html which really depends on where you're showing it. There's a list of ambiguous syntax here.

CommonMark is as close to a standard as we have.

I second the formbot voron 0.2 kit, it was my first printer and it was a great experience. I have had a lot of heat creep issues with the dragon hf hotend though, I'd probably recommend the standard one instead. Other than that it's been much less required tinkering than I was led to believe. It generally just works.

normally opaque plastics are cheaper since they can include more recycled content

You know, in recent weeks it’s become clear to me that I needed to unite my party in this critical endeavor. I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America’s future all merited a second term, but nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy, and that includes personal ambition.

So I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. That’s the best way to unite our nation. I know there is a time and a place for long years of experience in public life, but there’s also a time and a place for new voices, fresh voices, yes, younger voices, and that time and place is now.

idk if it would be manual, isn't the point of ab root to rollback if it doesn't properly boot afterwards?

Yeah no, it's only marginally better. All my information comes from 3d printing, which is even worse since there's no way to recycle it since no recycling symbol. More accessible industrial composting would help though

Polylactic acid is made via condensation of lactic acid, which can be made entirely from corn. It's still plastic, but just made from renewable sources. It's pretty recyclable and can be industrially composted, but in normal conditions it lasts as long as any other plastic.

json doesn't have ints, it has Numbers, which are ieee754 floats. if you want to precisely store the full range of a 64 bit int (anything larger than 2^53 -1) then string is indeed the correct type

Ikea smart devices are all zigbee so far, which is great since you can just plug it in to home assistant and it does respect your privacy.

Plugs like this are also a lot more useful than just saying total power consumption or whatever. I have a few similar for automating not smart devices. Things like a proper notification when my kettle or rice cooker is done, notification when humidifier is empty, etc. You get the functionality of a smart device but it's as cheap/robust as the original version, and privacy respecting/more secure since it can't be connected to the internet

Don't give in to greed. Throw your car battery into the ocean to feed the electric eels

Why would I need to remember an ip address if I have a hostname? I don't know my ipv4 anywhere since it's all dynamic.

Standards like those change just fine. Sure some stuff uses ascii still, but almost everything I encounter is unicode. Email has had so many things added on over the years that that's not a fair comparison either. Other countries have plenty of kb layouts that are more popular locally than qwerty but came afterwards.

At some point ipv6 will be the default and we'll just use compatibility layers to access ipv4 only things. We don't need every device on board, just the ISPs
