Wikipedia goes dark in protest of SOPA, how to get around this

-
I admire Wikipedia for raising awareness to this issue, and if you found this blog through searching, then you already have been made aware.

If there is something you absolutely must see on Wikipedia during the blackout period, here's how you can get around it.

Drag the link below to your bookmarks bar.

Show wikipedia content

Load up the Wikipedia page you want to see. You'll probably be able to see it for a brief second until it's covered up by the SOPA information.

Once you have the page up, click on the link that's on your book mark bar.

Essentially, it just removes the SOPA overlay and then shows ALL hidden elements... even elements that are normally supposed to be hidden.  I didn't really feel like spending too much time getting it to work elegantly for only needing this for a day, but it certainly does the trick.

Using the BIQU Hermit Crab CAN

-
Image
I was recently offered to try out the BIQU Hermit Crab CAN.  This was great timing as one of my printers was down due to a bad thermistor cable in the cable drag chain.  I was in the process of removing the wiring and also replacing the drag chain to an open style which allows me to open up each segment and easily add or remove wires.   What is the Hermit Crab? The Hermit Crab is a quick change tool, which allows you to easily and quickly change out your tool. For example, you can change to a FDM extruder, or a laser engraver, or a cutting tool, or whatever you want. The CAN version uses just one USB-C cable (doesn't use USB protocol, just uses that style cable for convenience). The USB-C cable carries the data and power to the hotend. The CAN version has a bunch of nice features such as accelerometer, Neopixel RGB LEDs, and TMC2209 stepper driver. Current setup In this photo, you can see my current setup as I'm in the process of rewiring.  I've got an Orbiter extruder with

Add business days with moment.js

Date . prototype . addBusinessDays = function ( businessDays : number ) { // 5 business days in a week const weeks = Math . floor ( businessDays / 5) ; // Convert business days (5 days in a week) to regular days (7 days in a week) const days = weeks * 7 ; const date = moment ( this ) ; // Convert the incoming date value to a moment value. const newDate = moment ( this ) . add ( days + ( businessDays % 5) , 'days' ) ; if ( newDate . day () < date . day () || newDate . day () % 6 === 0) { // Add 2 more days if we land on a weekend, or we went through a weekend. newDate . add (2 , 'days' ) ; // .add is not pure and will change the underlying value } return newDate . toDate () ; } ;

Leading zeros in SQL

-
So at work today, I ran across a SQL stored procedure called 'fixLeadingZeros' that has the below implementation. It's actually much longer than this since it does it for several columns.... and some columns have longer values. In other words, if the field is supposed to have 8 digits, it has 8 statements.  I couldn't help but to feel a bit disgusted from it and had to share it. UPDATE [SomeTable] SET SomeColumn = '0' + [SomeColumn] WHERE len (SomeColumn) =4 UPDATE [SomeTable] SET SomeColumn = '00' + SomeColumn WHERE len (SomeColumn) =3 UPDATE [SomeTable] SET SomeColumn = '000' + SomeColumn WHERE len (SomeColumn) = 2 UPDATE [SomeTable] SET SomeColumn = '0000' + SomeColumn WHERE len (SomeColumn) =1 UPDATE [Some] SET SomeColumn = '00000' WHERE SomeColumn ='' OR SomeColumn is null This could have been done a LOT easier.  If your goal is to update existing columns so that t
