You’re correct that parametric is cool & FreeCAD adds that flexibility. One note about Sketchup is it encourages choosing standard sized items from the parts library. Choosing from the library (for example, choosing a standard 2x4 board

FreeCAD is a traditional CAD tool based on sketches, pads, and pockets. CAD designers I’ve spoken with who use that style tool think out their designs outside the CAD tool. They know how to translate concepts into the parametric CAD languag

This is, sadly, common. I’ve heard a handful of people say they go to work to get away from their family situation.

I wonder how many projects really need the performance? Most projects are integrating parts into a whole. While expert programmers might be needed to create the parts & package them as libraries, how often is the same true of larger ass

I’ve read this guide & would like to use this as an exercise for college students. However, I don’t have a background in AI. Can anyone provide insight into how the driving skill of the AI will be impacted by the following? 1. The shape

It’s come a long way and slowly keeps getting better. Hopefully it’ll exit this list someday :-) I wish I knew how to get design feedback to the GIMP team in a way that would be appreciated & that people might take action on. I also wis

Yes! Captchas are terrible. Does the support pole count as part of the traffic light? How much of the bus needs to be in the square for that square to contain a bus? What counts as a street sign? And on top of all that, the frustration that

Marvel App is a nice one. Sketch, photograph, wire photos together into a workflow mockup. App Cooker on iPad is really nice too, though no longer maintained. It exports the storyboard of all the UI screens connected by transition arrows.

Exactly! Design is about how it works. That’s more important than how it looks. Low fidelity focuses designers on the app workflow, lets more of the team get involved in design, promotes UI component reuse, and avoids confusing managers abo

What impact is Storybook.js having on your team? I’ve recently started using it with my team and the impact has been positive. Component sandboxing seems to encourage developers to encapsulate CSS within web components. Sandboxing also seem

Martin Fowler has a nice collection of essays & videos. He recommends starting with a monolith, then breaking out capabilities over time. He also mentions that micro services are useful as a solution for partitioning work across teams.

What interests me is how he was aware of technology trends, in addition to studying Buddhism and western religion. That awareness makes some of his observations relevant now. I’ve found his essays & lectures interesting ever since my gr

Curious how you decided to use Telegram for this. Seems like a neat idea. Don’t know if Telegram lets you edit old posts, but would be nice to see if a job has been filled.

Curious what prompted you to share alanwatts.org? Alan Watts audio books on Audible seem to be subsets of these recordings. My favorite collection of Alan Watts talks is “Just So”.

Originally, the ZDNet article “From Earth to orbit with Linux and SpaceX” caught my attention ( https://www.zdnet.com/article/from-earth-to-orbit-with-linux... , June 3, 2020). A little searching turned up this research

If you’re lucky enough to not work during college, then internships are far more valuable and will likely challenge you to do much cooler things. Intern lots of places & try out different work environments and even locations.

Carnegie Mellon University has credibility and is highly ranked ( https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/carnegie-mellon-univers... ), so a press release from them is more credible than thin air or a random blog.
