I encountered my first MongoDB database today. It was designed by someone with no real database experience.The DBA inside me is currently banging his head against a wall.

@Nobody I don't have that choice. I just have to redesign the "schema" if I can call it that.

@Nobody My biggest gripe is the idea of "Oh, it's Agile. Need to change a data type? Do so. Record structure? Do so."But... then who has to deal with the inconsistencies? It simply kicks the responsibility down the line and creates technical debt, something Agile tries to avoid.calI will say, an inexperienced designer can do nearly as much damage when making a relational database. There's a reason why DBAs exist and an experienced one will know when to de-normalize and when to normalize.

I've really enjoyed the disc-based planners I've seen people use but I've balked at the price of supplies.I've designed discs that are compatible with said planners and even a 1/2 US letter page cover that can be #3dprinted The cost of printing the rings is about 1/10 of the commercial versions and are fully parametric allowing one to make any size binder disc or protector sheet they wish.#3dprinting for the win.

@TechConnectify Ugh. Wireless charging is NOT what I would consider a "solution"; it just can't be as efficient, nor can it be as fast.I would think if some of these people had both a wireless charger and a sizable power brick with a USB cable, they might see this.

@mia Interesting! This would suggest that ASA blends vary in percentage of their components (and perhaps have other additives?).I wonder what Fiberlogy's magic is?I've had some interesting ABS blends - ones that don't warp much at all in open air and stick well. I've always wondered what they put in those.

Alright, folks. How many people would be interested in an open, durable, user-serviceable burr coffee grinder that costs under $40 in parts and #3dprinting filament?Repost for reach. I want to see if it's worth publishing.

I came across this video from the absolute beginning of my #3Dprinting journey. 7.5 years ago.Time flies.

@alejandrobdn I know it! 😄You should have seen all the mods I did to that printer before I bought a Prusa.What an awesome learning experience.

@alejandrobdn We all start somewhere! 😊 I remember being totally stressed that I would mess things up and watched tons of videos and read lots of articles before starting. It was so overwhelming at first.

I've upgraded my coffee grinder. This is a moderately-priced grinder at $50 that has easy grind settings. Bonus - it grinds my espresso about twice as fast as my cheap grinder, while offering a more consistent size of grounds.

@clive I'm a Linux convert so my vote was that I use it every day.However, when I started using Mastodon, I was using only Windows.

I'm hoping to have feedback from the Centauri Carbon #3dprinting community.I'm designing a rail that can hold an assortment of pods, including those that hold your spare hotends. This one allows for easy removal & is secure, but I wanted input.Please repost for reach. 😊Addendum: I plan on releasing the @FreeCAD source so others can tinker with the design, should they choose to.

Dang. STEP files can look pretty darn good in a recent version of @FreeCAD

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate and to those who don't, it's still nice to reflect on what we are thankful for.Photo: my stupid oat milk latte art of a turkey.

Hot take: the soundtrack for "Cowboy Bebop" isn't just one of the greatest anime soundtracks of all time... It's one of the best soundtracks of all time, period.
