In residential places in Europe I‘ve seen this mostly in old buildings where the walls are stone/brick underneath, so I am assuming it would be hard to put the cables inside walls? Also, this was always inside, not on the outside walls

That makes sense, I have no clue about how architects actually work but I imagine Revit et al. have a ton of features that you would probably miss in Rhino when it gets to working out the nitty-gritty details of floorplans, generating secti

I personally like the approach that Gwern takes (e.g. [1]), which works fairly well on screens where you have a lot more horizontal space than needed for the main body of text (it's beneficial to keep the text somewhat narrow anyway, s

DFW is notorious for this, in his non-fiction essays he goes on so many tangents within the main text already, often only to then go off on yet another tangent in an almost page-long footnote. Funny thing is he sort of parodied himself by g

I'd love to see some examples of when similar designs to these were deemed to infringe on the patent, and when they weren't. Just froom looking at it, it seems fairly ridiculous that stuff like this can be patented. I kind of get
