I commented, but mine got missed, somehow. Maybe because my phone auto-capitalized the "H" in "http" and the script didn't account for funny capitalization. Sad!

It's interesting to me that Blender basically dumps everything to disk in the most straightforward way possible and lets the loader figure out how to interpret that, since it's similar to how Factorio loads save files from older v

The Factorio team is pretty chill about stuff, generally, which is why they make the game so moddable in the first place. The only time I remember them having to take any legal action was to deal with someone reselling stolen keys or somet

From my own experience: Occasionally it feels awkward, but more often than not, the same patterns that make testing easier also lead to an architecture that is easier for me to understand and reason about, because 'having a minimal set

I guess a deep dive would have had to get into more gritty details about USB-PD? Or maybe show how they crammed all the requisite capacitors and heat dissipators into the thing. It did answer my question, though, which was "how do the

The sad thing is that there's not much in Git's data model[1] that makes it bad for storing large binary blobs. An alternative implementation of Git (the program), or even a future version of vanilla `git`, could handle them just

Addendum to my nominal types: For the 'fake' nominal types (you can't put a symbol on a number!) I like to make those fields optional, which makes the type less of a lie. "If this number did have a [unit symbol] prope

Good take if you ask me. When I want to flesh out an ontology, I find that TypeScript's type syntax more natural than anything else. Generally I find it to do an amazing job of bridging between a very expressive and flexible type sys

I tried to use FreeCAD once because I needed to generate some G-code for my CNC router. I ultimately wrote my own G-code generator because that was less frustrating than memorizing the sequence of steps necessary to do anything in FreeCAD.
