If OpenSCAD had STEP file support, I could do all my design work in it. But it can't, so I can't.

I got into making all kinds of stuff because of OpenSCAD. It's just enough for 3D printing functional mechanical parts. It's still my first go-to for designs. The downside is OpenSCAD doesn't support import or export of STEP

That hasn't been my experience using Alby and Primal's Nostr client. It's been as easy as Venmo.

Oh hey! (This might be the first time I've been paged on HN) I'm extremely excited by real, non-hype reasons to use LLMs, and I've also been frustrated that OCR isn't 100% accurate... I currently use Tesseract OCR in the

Agreed on the need for a demo. #1 on the TODO list! If I know at least one person will read it, I might even do a blog, too! :) The rise of multi-modal LLMs is making "vision first" plausible. However, my basic test is asking thes

Not to make this an ad for my project, but I'm starting to document it more here: https://valetnet.dev/ The Raspberry Pi is configured to use the USB HID protocol to look and act like a mouse and keyboard when plugged

Unironically, ask ChatGPT (or your favorite LLM) to create a hello world WebDriver or Puppeteer script (and installation instructions) and go from there.

Yup. Lately, I've been doing it a completely different way (but still from the outside)... Using a Raspberry Pi as a fake keyboard and mouse. (Makes more sense in the context of mobile automation than desktop.) What's good for sec

Puppeteer controls a browser... from the outside... like a puppeteer controls a puppet. Other tools like Cypress (and ironically the very first version of Selenium 20 years ago) drive the browser from the inside using JavaScript. But we aba

I'm still sad they removed the Google Maps directions from Boston to London. (At one point, one step was "Swim across the Atlantic Ocean") Now the official answer is 'Sorry, we could not calculate walking directions from

I suspect most tinkering is happening around digital modes these days. I got my amateur radio license four years ago and I have zero interest in talking with (other) old dudes where they're driving. I currently enjoy the hobby by watch

Yup... The current size of the Nim community reminds me of the perceived size of the Python community when I first started using Python around 2000-2001. (I'm still amazed how popular Python is now. People said it would never happen be

My world: I need to use OpenCV. The existing OpenCV bindings (nim-opencv) haven't been touched in years because the author left* the Nim community. (And that really stinks! It was created by dom96, who also created Nimble, Jester, and

Seeing more projects in Nim makes me happy. I'm a (mostly) Python and JavaScript programmer who is interested in the benefits of also knowing a modern, fast, statically-typed language. Among a candidate list of Go, Rust, Zig, or Nim, I

I think PowerPoint or Keynote are better analogs for HyperCard. They all use a "deck of cards" metaphor at their core. HyperCard came on the scene when making GUI applications was still "new". There was so much low-hangi

HyperCard was what made me fall in love with computers and programming. My specific "moment" was when I was a kid (probably 11 or 12 at the time) and went to see a presentation by a science professor about his work (my mom worked
