Workbench project thread!

I finally got around to ordering all the extruded aluminum last week to build a new workbench for my table saw. I cadded the metric dimensions in Fusion 360. Importing the models of the actual 4080 extruded aluminum makes it lag a lot.

@BelkassOussama Which part are you confused about? The github contains a pretty succinct summary of how to use the tool.

My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.

@stayfun_ For the second question, I specifically need it to be a typescript interface, which I got around by doing

export enum A {
VALUE1 = 'a',
VALUE2 = 'b',
}

export interface EVENTS {
[A.VALUE1]: () => void,
[A.VALUE2]: () => void,
}

[Alvin Lin @omgimanerd]

Am learning typescript and slightly confuzzled by some of the language designs. I started to learn how to use its typing system and interfaces by migrating one of my old projects, but lots of googling is making me more confused `/

[Alvin Lin @omgimanerd]

@stayfun_ Unsurprisingly though, it's incorrect in this case. In the first example, the typescript compiler actually isn't smart enough for this:

const a = m.get('foo') will still be type number | undefined

[Alvin Lin @omgimanerd]

And it seems like the only way I can do this is with an intermediate object

const { A, B } = whatever the enum was

interface E {
[A]: something
[B]: something
}

[Alvin Lin @omgimanerd]

I want to do:

enum {
A = 'a',
B = 'b',
}

interface E {
a: () => void,
b: some other type
}

and enforce that E's keys are explicitly the enum values so I can reference the enum types using the variable names without caring about what the literal is
