Show HN: PLAttice, for assembling structures much larger than the 3D printer bed

Struts, nodes, and pins are reversibly assembled into fully 3D printed lattices, trusses, and tree-like structures spanning up to a few meters. I used the system to build a stand for an overhead table lamp which supports a ~1 m cantilevered arm using a tensioned floor-to-ceiling column. If you want to give it a try, find the *.stl files at the bottom of the page; figure ~1 kg of PLA and ~1 day of print time per meter of box truss; pay attention to print orientation; plz respect the license;

Show HN: LoopMix128 – Fast C PRNG (.46ns), 2^128 Period, BigCrush/PractRand Pass

Doctor Who ‘The Story and the Engine’ review: Just a trim, thanks

Spoilers for “The Story and the Engine.”

Doctor Who lives and dies by the quality of its writing and acting far more than almost anything else on TV. Audiences may demand big explosions and trippy visuals but its best work is often done in small rooms. The Disney era began with an episode that, for all its glossy excess, rested its big moment on

Show HN: Code Claude Code
