I once solved a machining problem using SVG and a bit of javascript and python. I was prototyping an orrery. It involved cutting out a lot of ad-hoc gears and frame bits on my CNC out of a sheet of brass. It was relatively easy to generate

I don’t understand your point about UPS 2976. You make it sound as if people there were hurt by the engine parts hitting them. But in actuality it is the airplane crashing into them which killed those unfortunate. Even aviation turbines are

It feels weird to me that on the before/after comparision they felt the need to zoom in on the “before” but not on the “after”. Either both should have the magnifying glass or neither. This just makes it hard to see the difference.

Curious. How much experience do you have with any form of CAD? Is the preference based on that you tried graphical CAD software and you found them lacking, or is it based on imagining how they might work? Last week at the hackspace someone

Sonder is the noun for the realization that each random person you see has a life as vivid and complex as your own. I guess the company lived up to its name by reminding every guest that the company itself has(had?) a “life” as complex and
