Modern transistors aren’t just silicon though. The silicon is doped with various materials, presumably gallium, boron, arsenic, phosphorus, and cobalt, among other elements.

Happily!

So, first epoch time. It’s a pretty robust standard, covers many use cases, has few edge cases… but it’s specifically for machine usage, since it’s not human readable and it’s not reversible into the past (pre-1970).

ISO 8601 (depending on the annum), by the text of the documentation, these are all valid dates:

• 2007-04-05T14:30
• 2007-04-05T12:30−02:00
• 2007-04-05T14:30Z
• 200704051430
• 07-04-05T14:30
• 2007-95T14:30

Etc.

RFC 3339 (& RFC 9557, it’s newest modification) is actually a subset of ISO 8601 and is far more prescriptive. For example you must have a timezone designator. You must have a separator between the date and time. You must use a dash between date elements and a colon between time elements. You can easily add standardized subseconds.

• 2007-04-05T12:30−02:00
• 2007-04-05 14:30Z

This means that RFC 3339 is much easier to parse and use by both machines and humans.

This page (reddit, I know…) has a great summary, and so in the interest of knowledge and attribution I’ll link it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ISO8601/comments/p572xy/rfc_3339_versus_iso_8601/

This website allows you to more directly compare the two interactively. https://ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/

Let’s not forget that technically you have to pay for ISO8601, despite it being nearly useless as a standard because it allows several incompatible formats to coexist.

Fucking wild.

RFC 3339 if you please. Let’s be prescriptive.

Steel tongue drum is so mystical to me. Amazing, relaxing sound.

This makes me so furious.

Literally every domestic violence study shows a pet being one of the biggest reasons an abused woman stays in a relationship right behind children. And the animal and children are often abuse targets too!

This will put the US even further behind in one of it’s most shameful measurements, but, hey it might shave a couple thousand dollars off a multi-trillion dollar deficit entirely created by the military industrial complex, so fuck 'em.

Badass female grunt soldier treated by her fellow soldiers as a soldier first and foremost.

And CPU power governor & GPU power profile. Are you using Feral GameMode?

I’ll say that it can lead to uneven extrusion and even skipped steps on your extruder. How much, and how much that amount matters is entirely dependant on the setup and your workflow.

There are a few 3D printed solutions to keep filament tension neutral using a buffer system. It’s not a bad idea to check out some of them.
