I use FreeCAD and Solvespace mainly for personal use, but I use Fusion, Inventor, Solidworks, and Rhino at work with Inventor and Rhino being my two main CAD programs. We also have Revit and I had been using IDEAS back in 1997. I love FreeC

Thanks for the link! I am going to look more into rg3d, but the C99 engine is interesting to me, because I use Raylib[0] for my C gamedev explorations. I will never fully leave C, because I will be dead before C is fully, or largely, displa

You can argue the semantics or meaning of the word accident in this incident, but I think it is important to make the distinction that it was no accident in bringing down the system that both the university and the hospital depend upon. The

Yes, the full demo of this engine is enticing. Thanks.

It's not an accident. It is a supposed unintended consequence of a criminal act.

I have started playing with Bevy [1], so I wonder how this compares from an ECS point of view? I am a beginner at Rust, so any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! Great to see gamedev taking off on Rust! [1] https://bevyengine

I bought the book, and I am working through: Building High Integrity Applications with SPARK. I put Rust aside due to Ada/SPARK's lead in this industry. I think Rust will catch up, but SPARK2014 seems to be the way to go for now.

The Student Loan Reform Act of 1993 was under Clinton and sponsored by Democrat Robert E. Andrews of NJ. The gist was to smooth the delivery of funds to the colleges, but per the article it failed since colleges then raised their tuition to

I remember my oldest son built a mobile platform with a tablet on it, so he could bother his sister at college remotely! He put his face on it, and the tablet was on a stick that could rotate as well. that was over 5 years ago. He was 15 ar

Thank you. I hadn't heard of it before. I would like to see it happen. I do think it will take many man-years to catch up with Ada/SPARK2014 and win industry favor and confidence, but it's good to see.

I agree. Ada has been around and picked apart for high-integrity software jobs. I am personally learning SPARK2014, the subset of Ada. It has formal verification as part of the toolset. I would think Rust would need to develop similar forma

I work in engineering using CAD everyday, and I have a toy project idea I am developing using LISA FEA software, FreeCAD's dll, Blender rendering, and C/Python(Hylang) code to make it all work. The idea is to input the maximum wor

I've tried OpenSCAD, and it's nice for what it is. I'll see if this offers more powerful scripting. I used to program AutoLISP routines in AutoCAD decades ago. Creating geometry strictly from LISP without using the GUI was am

For a low-level, systems programming language it really comes down to Rust and Zig if you are migrating from C. I like Idris, but I don't see it in this category, nor Kotlin, although Kotlin Native perhaps? Yes, Zig is exciting! I find

The 3kb demoscene example is just to open a window, not a full, self-contained 64k demo in 3kb. Is the program basically calling the Win API through unsafe functions? I am trying to learn Rust, and I am wondering how it might actually be us

Yes, I curated their content, but I do believe too much of any one thing is bad. We didn't get a phone until I was a 11 or 12, not because of beliefs, but money. I became a real bookworm to the detriment of getting outside and exercisi

How about both? I have older children 21 and 22, and I have some new ones, ages 1 and 5. I have always done as much as I can with my children. I also have learned to set them up with an activity and let them go at it without my constant sup

Glad I bought my HTC Vive Cosmos. I was going to wait for the Oculus to be back in stock, but I didn't. I gave up FB 6 years ago.

The values of democracy are touted in Hong Kong too, but that doesn't make it a democracy. Small groups with a NYMBY position, or large PACs depend operate on our current form of government, which is why I made the precise distinction

I picked up the "meme" long before the word "meme" entered the vernacular in the sense that I think you are using it. I had the good fortune of attending a Jesuit HS in NYC when grammar was prescriptive rather than descr

Given the subtopic I commented on was bringing up NYMBYs and political process and the word democracy, I don't see this as a red herring, or an attempt to divert or smokescreen the argument; I simply stated the US is a constitutional r

To be clear, the US is a constitutional republic and not a democracy, and the constant use of the word democracy dilutes this fact.

I would go with uLisp because Lisp for me [1]. And for IOT and small distributed things Nerves [2]. I started with Basic Stamp in 1997 way before Arduinos were born, and I then went on to PIC chips with C and asm. [1] http://www

Used by Gaijin Entertainment and compiled and run on Nintendo Switch are two things that caught my eye. I will have to check it out for use in place of LuaJit.

Ask HN: SPARK2014 or Rust for high-integrity, secure, distributed application?

I used to use Yandex back in 2012 and DuckDuckGo for a while. I had my browser open up with all three at one point - Google, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo. If I didn't find or feel the results showed what I wanted, I checked all of them. Anot

I like Terra, and I have played with it, but I have not found a use for it to push me to really explore it. I'd love to hear from anyone using Terra for cool projects. I had watched a talk about MAD-X [0] that I found very interesting,

Thanks! I'll give it a try this weekend. I tend to isolate, so social gaming is not my comfort zone, which is why I like to play Minetest on my local machine by myself. I do play with my kids in the same game on one computer though, so
