For me the problem is less the UI but weird bugs / unimplemented cases in its modeling kernel. Some lofts and tubes just refuse to work for no apparent (to me, a non-expert in CAD) reason. Even worse, simple fillets sometimes don'

Maybe not the best name — ARIS is a relatively well-known business process management software suite, so it's definitely international, web and AI, so trademark conflicts may arise.

For $450 you can have Instinct 2X Solar, which is a very useful tool watch, surprisingly functional without phone connection and with a month of battery life. Can probably be used without ever connecting to a smartphone, I'm not 100% s

I’m surprised that Clickhouse is not more prominent in OLAP tech. Such a versatile DB.

UX does not seem to be a strong side of Metabase. I’ve recently started creating dashboards in Metabase, having used Grafana extensively, and it’s not very pleasant. Too bad Grafana has very limited options for not time-based visualizations

100% this. At that time if one needed a simple custom database client with GUI and analytical reports, the go-to solution was MS Access and it was working well. Could even be placed on a shared drive. Now, as accepted solution, you either p

It's USB-C, "you'll never know" is the answer, often it's "kinda working, but extra slow". I consider having a cheap USB power meter a necessity at this point.

What's your FPS/LPS in this setup? I've experimented with similar imaging with an ordinary camera, but LPS was limiting, and I know line-scan machine vision cameras can output some amazing numbers, like 50k+ LPS.

Python type system is very good. It’s enforcing it consistently that’s bad. Thankfully most new libraries are typed.

With some luck, yes. I’ve had o3 in cursor successfully diagnose a couple of quite obscure bugs in multithreaded component interactions, on which I’d probably spend a couple of days otherwise.

That requires the ability to fully test it locally, which unfortunately is uncommon in decent-sized systems.

From what I see in Russian-language news, only relatively minor damage. I've lived in Petropavlovsk, it's an ugly city in various states of disrepair, but they do take seismic reinforcements seriously, like mag 7 should cause zero

R/S is also heavily influenced by Lisp. Haven’t written it in 10 years, but AFAIR it even has proper macros where argument expressions are passed without evaluation.

I've tried to use various OpenAI models for OpenSCAD code generation, and while the code was valid, it absolutely couldn't get spatial relationships right. Even in simple cases, like a U-tube assembled from 3 straight and 2 curved

How's HDR and high bit depth support? One of the things I liked about JXL is wide range of bit depths and arbitrary number of channels.

What's the primary use case you had in mind here? In the example I see it generating a palette of 256 colors and then using them, but it doesn't seem to correspond to any modern use case. AFAIU one currently needs dithering either

It's deceptively simple. I have a lot of lumber from previous construction projects, and all the basic woodworking tools. I also have some relevant skills. Would I be able to build it right now? No, need a wide and sturdy board, wide

Given the compose sequences are mnemonic, I’d prefer it over Mac every time. Compare Compose+<< and >> for «» to Opt+[ and Opt+Sh+[ on Mac. Which may or may not work depending on locale.

This is a very good analogy. And this interest rate can probably be significantly reduced by applying TDD and reducing the size of isolated subsystems. That may start to look like microservices. I generally don’t like both for traditional d

While this is a good idea in theory, one needs quite a lot of patience to deal with its bugs and kernel limitations. It has definitely become much better since 1.0, but the inability to put chamfers and fillets wherever is extremely annoyin

Your Point example is indeed good, it shows one of the drawbacks of small 'proper' objects. How do you handle the case of offsetting thousands of points with a single operation, which in most cases will make sense and is readily v

The biggest time saving I've had in woodworking was switching to modern self-drilling screws with Torx head [1]. With a highish-rpm impact driver, these screws require no pre-drilling even with plywood and are a pleasure to work with i

My Sony doesn’t have this length limit, but will readily overheat and turn off after several minutes of highest-bitrate recording. So no, overheating is trivially protected against via temperature sensors, not some arbitrary timeout.

Auto is an improvement for C++ only because of its uniquely unergonomic type system and standard library. I'd very much prefer writing something like `iterator<auto>` instead of `auto` or `std::map<lotsofchars>::iterator` a
