Thanks so much. Going through some of these motions... installed OpenSCAD, made something basic which was easy. But I found out that making something more complex forces you to invent your own layout system. Last month I looked on Udemy and

How did you develop your CAD and 3D printing skills? Did you use any online courses?

> Do you remember if ed was missing in those machines I had to laugh out loud. I couldn't imagine such a system, that wouldn't be POSIX compliant. So I looked it up, and indeed, it's entirely possible. Debian doesn't

FYI, I just tested this in OpenSCAD version 2025.09.13 and it works fine.

Yeah, me too. The top rated comments are all congratulatory but why is it okay to suck up all comments and then put them in another database?
126.
by bartvk 11mo ago
Yup, me too. What’s funny is that your slashdot account can make friends (or enemies!) with other accounts, and there’s a limit of 200. Sometimes I spot comments of friends I made like 20 years ago.

Small frustration daily versus larger scale achievements is what I think happened. Thanks, interesting viewpoints to think about.

Can you explain something? I did a lot of iOS development. The layout of elements was done with Auto Layout, and I really had the hang of it. It was replaced by how SwiftUI does it, and I knew it would take me a couple of weeks to get the h

I'm an avoid motorcyclist and have followed additional safety courses. These placed 90% of all accidents in cities. What do you mean by city driving being the easiest?

Yup, I've got an old pair connected to my Steam Deck. Works fine.

by bartvk 11mo ago
What kind of hardware did you install it on? And what hardware wasn’t supported? Or was it the software that caused the papercuts?
132.
by bartvk 11mo ago
OK in that regard you’ll be fine, you won’t be bothered with the PC stuff. It’s just that for the game publishers, the Steam Deck is an afterthought right now. And Xbox is a first class citizen. Still, it’s pretty great.

by bartvk 11mo ago
I have a Steam Deck and it’s definitely more janky than for example an Xbox. It’s not bad! But do not expect the same level of polish. Small example, there’s often a need to dial back the graphics quality. Or the text is too small. Or the s

I get what you’re saying, to you it feels ridiculous. But the thing is, these are professional designers that have put out a product. The product page shows their professional language and it doesn’t work for all people. But I guarantee you

by bartvk 11mo ago
Really? Why? I think it fits right in. Apple products are heavily designed, and this is a fashion item that adds something.

It completely depends on the management. Be sure to know them.

The terminal that comes with macOS version ends on the 29th place in the results.

Yup, it's pretty great. You get into the habit of suspiciously eyeing every variable that's not a constant.

I have to remember this one. Waltz into the room and proclaim, why is everyone so negative? It's great because x, y and z. It looks pretty great.

I kind of get what you're saying but can you explain your reasoning or provide a source?

by bartvk 1y ago
Yup, agreed. His reasoning is sound except the choice should be yours. I have the feeling that the older generation is a bit more callous with safety and health. The comparison with motorcycles is apt, because I've read about similar g

Photographers and camera operators. One of my students remarked that his dad saves his pictures in raw format, and that they've grown much bigger in recent years.

The while loop surrounds the whole thread, which does multiple tasks. The conditional is there to surround some work completing in a reasonable time. That's how I understood, at least.

I don't like how they phrased it. From the Verge: “Perplexity is down right now,” Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said on X. “The root cause is an AWS issue. We’re working on resolving it.” What he should have said, IMHO, is "The

That's true and I tried to acknowledge that by saying it "starts with" a recompile. There's probably a bunch of tasks that will follow. However, now they came out with a brand-new app that shows the old OS look-and-feel.
