Well now this is what we call a false dichotomy. The version that I’ve always experienced in practice is “we spent six months fixing bugs and it’s still broken, because we did not read the first page of the docs. No we do not want to read t

Not sure what example you are referring to. I see meshes and some built-in geometries. On closer inspection they do support subdivision surfaces! Just not the usual NURBs. So you could probably use this for professional modelling it just wo

> People are far too obsessed with static type checking. A lot of this time would be better spent invested in live debugging tools. I disagree. Time spent debugging is time wasted. It's a non-repeatable sunk cost. Don't get me

That’s pretty great, being able to use natural pasture is a wonderful thing and Australia is very lucky in that regard. In the US (the country that consumes more beef than any other) only 1% of beef is produced in this manner. Much of the w

These are basically power user features. You don’t need them to get by on everyday tasks. They just help. Just like right-click on the desktop.

No there’s no legal basis for any of this that even begins to make sense. It’s nothing but a bad-faith reading. Here’s the phrase in question: “we use publicly available information to help train Google’s AI models” That’s it. The point bei
