True, I mean in relation to other paradigms, like OOP. It only really took of in the past decade.

Flecs implements a relatively new programming paradigm "ECS". For context, here is a big budget project, Blizzard's Overwatch embracing ECS [1]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3aieHjyNvw

Same! It ran on even slow machines and Tech vs Magic was very well executed. The magic workers themselves being able to transition to become warrior mages was mechanically really interesting, as you could forego your whole economy to become

Ohh the memories! Soo many mods for that game, from indians to Star Wars. Insane the creativity this project spawned. For some reason the the Glest 3D Models are being sold [1], which is a bit strange considering the technical age of the mo

Highly specialized topic of computer science, in a tough challenge with no easy solutions and new discoveries documented for anyone to follow in the future. I would be sad, if you couldn't get a Phd for stuff like this.

Great deep dive! Always wondered about the details around this topic. Did a bit of red teaming around the topic of reverse shells and privilege escalation and was pleasantly surprised, how much Windows Defender catches. Our IT Department re

Hell yeah. In our department we setup Gource to render out a video every midnight and pimped it out with a bunch of overlays and profile pics to show project progress and to visualize who worked on what. Shown endlessly looping on an iPad i

> doesn’t work well with the infrared lasers The copper use-case is what kick-ed off an industry-wide race towards offering blue laser as an option. There is more than just wavelength that goes into printing good copper results, but that

First time hearing about the technique, sounds exciting. I see a close comparison in features to SLM [1], which is already established as a core 3D Metal printing technique for a long time. SLM has precision down to the size of a mechanical

Those are solved issues. > oxidation at high temperatures SLM machines typically use an Argon gas chamber. DED machines use an Argon gas shield. > It’s more typical to print copper alloys than pure copper. In the context of modern SLM

Interesting! Can you reference some numbers? Other processes such as SLM and DED require a powerful laser, starting from 3000W. When talking about copper specifically and especially when wanting higher processes speed, you need higher wavel

Super interesting approach. > "directly print pure copper, which has historically been very difficult" SLM [1] has been able to 3D print Copper with precision down to the size of a mechanical pencil's lead for a long time

by FrostKiwi 2y ago
There are so many ways to do metal 3D printing, that it really depends on technique and use-case. I can only comment on SLM (Powder is in a bed, melted by laser from above) and DED (Powder comes from a nozzle and melted by a laser from abov

They already do, by owning the biggest supporting Platform: GitHub, though I hope the recent trend of embracing open source is triple E[1] without the "extinguish". [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,

I agree, that it is antiquated. > suitable modern compressor I would expect a suitable modern compressor to handle files by itself and fail to handle file related things if given a tar archive.

Not sure of the timing, is this what Meta researched when fighting audio latency for Virtual Meetings during the development of the Meta Quest 2?

Working on controlling industry machines from mixed reality. Pretty neat on the Meta Quest 3. Would love to get my hands on the Vision Pro, still not available here in Japan.
