As a CAD system it's okay, I've tried it. However, for mechanical design and manufacturing integrated CAM is a huge advantage. CAM is really a related problem in open source to having a good CAD system... it's just about

Yeah. A major "cost" of CAD software is the investment in learning it, which is made much cheaper by having others learn it whom you can interact with, an open community to ask questions of, etc. That's part of why it hurt

I don't trust Autodesk and I bailed from F360 when they crippled the hobbyist version, but I ended up having to go back to a single user subscription for now. CAD/CAM programs are a "hard" type of software to write. I

That's just long term product planning. The rest of the people here are talking about long term employee development - making your employees more valuable so they produce better products rather than treating them as costs that must b

I haven't seen any company do that in a very long time. What industry are you working in?

Oh, good. I knew it was time for the FCC to hand more cash to the telecom companies in exchange for absolutely nothing.

My Pixel XL bricked itself one morning due to a software update that triggered some kind of hardware bug. Great phone until that point, then poof, and it wouldn't even connect with a debug connection to my PC to replace the firmware

Yep. Youtube's de facto monopoly on video hosting has rules heavily tilted in favor of corporations and organizations like the RIAA and MPAA.

Yeah. I remember displaying these on ASCII terminals in 1200 bps connected to a DEC Vax 4000 or a Sun 3. Digital porn was around even before graphics were common. Same thing with movies, there's an ASCII art animated star wars somewhe

The amount of money that Youtube spends on content and copyright management will probably have to increase, and to be fair the cost might well be shared across the board evenly among all creators as a percentage of income. YouTube will als

Yes... content providers like the MPAA, RIAA, and other corporate organizations. Essentially, the Youtube system was permanently wired to favor the same set of interests that have corrupted the US copyright system. By automating their clai

Corporations like AdRev have as their whole business model trolling small content creators for copyright. Every channel on YouTube beyond the smallest seems to have the same story - corporations claiming that content created by the channe

This is Nancy Pelosi saying "Members of congress make lots of money that way, and we like money, so we're not going to stop making money." Like most of government, they won't take their hand out of the cash drawer until

No. The transition you're talking about is a general tendency in viruses, not some kind of rule. SARS-CoV-2 seems to avoid it, in fact, due to its tendency to spread before people even have symptoms. It's honestly too early to

There's a major "open niche" for up to date privacy legislation in the US. The privacy laws of the United States have never really been updated for the computer age. It's still safer to write a letter on paper and ma

You're mistaken that it being "recovered" now means it was preserved. Much of the information that could have been gained from leaving the items where they were found was lost as soon as this guy dug stuff out with a shovel

Yeah. If he'd have been younger he'd have been prosecuted for doing what he did... sympathies of his neighbors notwithstanding, this guy probably destroyed more information about native culture than any other person since Cortez.

Performance is what I wonder about. The idea sounds good, but what crypto scheme can perform encryption of a signature both securely and fast enough to keep up with every pointer pushed on the stack? What's the trade-off?

It's only software at this point, though. The AS/400 that the (short, detail-less) article talks about is very much legacy. Despite the compatibility IBM builds in, sometimes system hardware can't be updated or won't be

He's talking about the binary compatibility of the various IBM system lines. The binaries of AS/400 systems include an intermediate code binary representation of the program that can be re-translated into a binary for a newer syst

I agree. Just the fact that he lumps Doge and Bitcoin together into "meme coins" tells me he has no idea what he's talking about or that he has an ulterior motive. Whatever you think about those two coins, they are not reall
