Robin Sloan wrote about something similar a few years back. I think this is one of the most positive things to come out of the current cycle - even if things turn out less revolutionary than sold, enabling regular people to produce somethin

Each of these did indeed spawn tests. I used to work there and at the time there were over a thousand ranging from humdrum to David Blaine skydiving. They’re a crowd who really put a focus on good engineering

Breakfasts aren’t provided as a form of babysitting. The prevalence of breakfast clubs in schools in low income areas should be a hint as to why they’re instituted. After school activities are more babysitting adjacent, but if parents can’t

These are the sort of issues that Nix < https://nixos.org/ > solves quite well. Pinning dependencies to specific versions so the only time dependencies change is when you explicitly do it - and the only packages present

Even giving people the single family housing they want, there’s ways to increase the density massively that aren’t being utilised right now. Bringing back terraced houses in the US would be a great first step, and is only an improvement ove

I used to work in architecture, and I think that's where something like an iPad really shines. It was possible to have all the drawing sets on the iPad, and mark them up on the job site to send back to the office for revisions. Being a

+1 to this. I made some websites for hire in my earlier days and really enjoyed using Kirby. It was simple to setup, simple to host, and then simple to teach the clients how to update the content themselves. I just checked there and one of

Probably Staxel. Bartwe works on that and is active in FNA, a cross platform XNA reimplementation.

Speak of the devil. I was just talking with someone about Neptune's Pride a few weeks ago and looked it up to see if it was still going. I really enjoyed that when it came out. Have you ever written about the architecture of that and B

Take measurements, draw/model it. There’s a real art in being able to recreate something accurately. For something like this, use a contour gauge at certain offsets from a set point will give you a set of curves you could model through

Grasshopper, which Dynamo is really trying to compete against, is in wide use in the architecture world.

I think it’s just endemic to the industry. Even on high budget work with full time project managers we’ll find the subs on site working from an ancient drawing superceded months ago, or a sketch made on a wall by people discussing an issue.

There are a number of companies operating in the space. Matterport is one some people in my work have been exploring for documenting projects in various stages of construction. There are definitely still a bunch of rough edges, but the resu

This has been happening, just not really on the web. It’s more located on protocols like gopher[0] or Gemini[1]. Gemini in particular has quite a large amount of projects hosted on sourcehut, and sourcehut even serves pages on its new pages

Good read. Amos used to be the most visible/active developer on itch and his twitter was interesting to read. He also has a lot of other pieces like this that really dig into how and why you go wrong when working with something that is

I worked on a house where the previously built extension to the rear had been built over a soil pipe that let out into the ground, over the ~20 years since it had been built, it had tipped further and further and started to pull away from t

You might be surprised, and horrified, to find out a not insignificant number of still standing buildings were built with no foundations. On a wing and a prayer, if you will. https://thefogwatch.com/the-miracle-of-salisbury-

New, centrally planned cities have only ever been a disaster that quite quickly make apparent the shortcomings of the design professions. Brasilia is a good example of the sort of planned city that would be built. Widespread availability of
