   With a stand-alone application once you download it in your file system you know exactly where it is and how to create backups etc. A "browser cache" is just an opaque bit of storage. What if you need to update/reinstall your

   Build123d can do chamfers. You can also do relative positioning by selecting positions from the first shape. (there's various ways to do that)

   I find these sites that try to feed you stuff at a bite-sized pace extremely disrespectful.

   Gee, if only there had been a European market leader in instant messaging, voice over IP and video chat in the 2000s already. Then we could just use that instead of Microsoft Teams.

   Seems like that would only be relevant to web development, not software engineering in general.

   I’m still convinced that training a model on GPL code makes the model itself a derivative and requires it to be released under GPL terms.

   It feels like many of the more complicated algorithms produce worse mazes (long horizontal/vertical walls, many 1-2 square dead ends next to another) than basic recursive backtracking.

   The author mentions they studied medieval town planning in the Southern Netherlands, but isn't that an extremely flat landscape? I don't think the same geometric approach could be taken in a town established somewhere in the Alps

   There's one example given where either the result of a simple or complex calculation is picked depending on eccentricity mentioning it's faster to just always calculate both and picking with a mask. If you calculate both, wouldn&#

    It might make a difference for mashing when brewing beer but even that’s a crapshoot.

    I never understood why energy independence wasn’t put front and center when talking about this.

    > I would think they want to decouple from ARM and the west in general as a dependency. Why would you think that? ARM is not like x86 CPUs where you get the completed devices as a black box. Chinese silicon customers have access to the f

    I used to be a gas snob for ages but after moving, first to a place with an induction stove, then to one with a regular electric one, I have to say the supposed advantages are overblown. You can cook perfectly well on either. Induction&#x2F

    Only kelvin would make sense for per capita calculations with temperature.

    I was about to suggest Xfce as an example where window resizing is effortless due to the <super>+<right click> behavior. You can just grab the rough sector of a window to resize it. Any reason why you're not using it?

    I get the point of the story but does the soaking method for opening walnuts actually work? Seems to me that you'd likely end up with a rotten nut.

    I mean sure, this should be nice and easy. But then game/engine devs want to use the vertex shader producing a uv coordinate and a normal together with a pixel shader that only reads the uv coordinate (or neither for shadow mapping) an

    I think the most straightforward way to make a DIY focal plane shutter would be a cloth shutter actuated by electric motors. That'd get rid of most of the mechanical complexity and all the needed materials are readily available. https
