A more focused throw channel with the same color temperature as the flood channel would be great.

Sft-70 is 6 volt right? Otherwise this would seem like the perfect spot for an sft-40 3000k.

D Cell

Lumintop AD01 came out this year, no idea why but they support 1 D cell.

not having to toggle through every damn brightness and flashing setting and just be able to turn on/off with a single button

You’re in luck, this is one of OP’s own requirements for all the lights on the “arbitrary list”:

A user interface where a single click turns the light on in a reasonable mode, and another single click turns it off.

Although your current role wouldn’t seem very senior at a large organizational, “senior“ is a relative term and at this company it seems like you are the engineer with ownership responsibilities over the end-to-end software development of a production system. So it might still be reasonable to use a senior title if there are other benefits

I have been reading the English translations and the characters and especially their dialogues feel very fake. I do appreciate the hard science aspect of the books but the long monologues, kids speaking like middle-aged philosophers, and army personnel being one-dimensional macho men breaks the immersion for me. It has the depth of a 1980s low-budget thriller.

I don’t read a lot of hard science fiction or translations of Chinese books. I don’t know if this is genre-related.

Imagine you need (or just want) to carry several flashlights for different use-cases: seeing far away, seeing nearby, lighting up your campsite with a warm glow, or emitting a specific color.

Multi-channel lights aim to consolidate multiple use-cases into a single flashlight. And although 2-channel lights are available, this might be the first 3-channel available from a flashlight maker who allows customers to customize their LED choices from the factory.

Here are a few photo posts about using lights outdoors for example:

It’s probably not going to work as a defense against training LLMs (unless everyone does it?) but it also doesn’t have to — it’s an interesting thought experiment which can aid in understanding of this technology from an outside perspective.

This article helped defined the “data engineer” role so I’d say it belongs here!

Although some time has passed, I find it very relevant: SQL is used more than ever, graphical ETL tools that don’t output code are rare and vendors are still trying to convince executives to trust all their data to proprietary data warehouses.

The author Maxime Beauchemin also wrote Airflow and Superset so they have some experience worth listening to.

There are some great posts by experienced modders here. I’m not one, but I want to start making simple modifications beyond swapping reflectors. For example, swapping out a 5a linear driver for a 5a buck in a Convoy S6.

For a simple job like unsoldering two wires then soldering them, is there a small usb or battery-powered iron that would do the job without spending too much on the initial investment?

Any input is appreciated!

[-] Reader9@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

These look amazing. Is that an S6 in the first picture as well?

Any resources you found especially useful to assemble these? Thanks!

Had to sneak one in there. There’s also the m21b short version 😅 :

A few small lights (programming.dev)

A few small lights I had around. The hs10 gets a lot of use as a night light and the ts10 is carried the most right now. Never really used the s21d in this form but it’s very compact!

Left-to-right:

Sofirn hs10 16340 2700k

Wurkkos ts10 14500 5700k

Sofirn sc21 16340 4000k

Acebeam Pokelit AA/14500 5000k

Sofirn sp10 pro AA/14500

Convoy s21d 18350 2700k (with Wurkkos 20350 tube and tail cap)

Three Convoy lights with 8A buck drivers for getting the most runtime out of 21700 size batteries. Purchased for $28-$38 each with batteries included I think these are an incredible value.

*white balance is not consistent

M21B with SFT40:

S21D with four 519A 2700k emitters and 60 degree beaded TIR:

S21B with Osram CULPM1:

a spreadsheet existed where you could sort by model/lumens/pricing/etc

Maybe something like Parametrek?

This link is filtered to include lights with usb-c charging and the two LEDs offered in the FC11: http://flashlights.parametrek.com/index.html?led=Nichia%20519A,Samsung%20LH351D&features=usb-c%20charging
