I just leave myself a note "This is where you stopped" and a quick description of the next step. No thinking needed on return.

I second this advice. If you don't feel like a therapist is almost immediately helping you identify, process, and communicate your emotions and history then it's not a good match. I know first-hand that it's a PITA to switch

If learning with videos works for you then I recommend MangoJelly. It's a silly name, true, but he produces several great tutorials per week! Here's his playlist for getting started: https://youtube.com/playlist?li

Hey there. Yes, I've had really good luck with exporting STL (and STEP) files for slicing in Cura or Prusa Slicer. My STEP files have been imported into MasterCAM for generating CNC milling gcode and it seems good. As mentioned in a pr

Who do you suppose offshored our jobs while protecting their backyards? I'm guessing that it was rich people running corporations.

Any author that writes "it's a matter of simply deciding on a manageable subset of HTML and CSS and then calling it a standard" with a straight face may not understand the meaning of many of those words. Actual standardizatio

If a team can't work within an existing standards body or a community (like the ActivityPub contributors) then they simply can't create an actually decentralized and open protocol/network. They can, however, create something

FreeCAD has local simulation. Don't like the UI? Pitch in or fund the team.

An additional question might be, "Do we want to allow a tiny group of people to declare that they, and only they, can pick a generic term like open source and then dictate that their definition is the only definition?" This is not

I am aware of the history of the term and how it was taken up and popularized by the OSI. It has served an important and useful purpose. That said, they can't camp on a general purpose term. It isn't like "Champagne", wh

I'd love to use this service if it was offered without crypto mining and it didn't pay hosts in Ethereum. A community Blender farm could be nice. One that mostly mines coins is not for me.

by TrevorFSmith 4y ago
No organization can strictly define "open source" except to say which definition they use. A more valid way to approach the issue is to point out that a license is or is not not approved by the OSI, the FSF, or some other person o

I live on one of the Seattle streets mentioned in the article where there was a cluster of RVs, they were forced to move, and now there are ecoblocks. The RVs arrived a little over six years ago after they were forced to move from a lot und

They asked fewer than 600 developers to answer a loaded survey. This is not useful data.

How 'bout some bogus silliness?

Ah, to have loved and lost. Such is life.

I love projects like this because the web is currently so complex that only hypercorps can/will pay the cost of maintaining and evolving the engines. That said, while reading the project description I became distracted by the idea of g

If you have an RPi that you're not using then be a hero and offer it to your maker friends.

Bush is an interesting person (I built a desk-sized Memex "reproduction" and am currently building 20 tiny Memex!) but I wonder about using him as a role model. The era of Big Science that he helped create after WWII was wildly on

I suspect that a basic crawler that simply doesn't index pages with ads would return better results than Google's terribly complex crawler and index.

If this headline bothers you then go help the open immersive web become the actual metaverse.

by TrevorFSmith 5y ago
It's interesting to compare the ideas we can make and manage with a filing cabinet or with a Memex, both from the early 20th century.

I'd love to see CEOs of metaverse-oriented companies commit to or refute this definition. Zuck, Cook, Huang, Sweeney, etc.

Ok, thanks. Yep, when I type "vans" in the URL field I see a link to eBay marked with a "sponsored" flag. I'm glad it's clearly marked, at least. The sponsored eBay URL I'm given has these parameters: _nkw
