Yep,as a former animator-in-training and heavy Blender user, the fact that the UI didn't match the rest of the OS was an afterthought, at best. You might even argue that having the exact same UI look on multiple OSs was a plus.

I'm in that early millenial/xennials bracket too, and my observations/sentiment of the younger generation are similar to yours. It's funny too, because there's lots of otherwise ingenious, intelligent GenZ out ther

Yeah that was my question too. Its one thing to know the most simple fix for a KeyError issue, its another to understand that its the result of not assigning the proper key in some other part of the code, or like you said, maybe it called

Not thinking about tools at all can get you in trouble too.

Ok, I appreciate you reaching back. And my bad, I didn't see that it already supports direct export of JSON.

by mikebelanger 3y ago
Looks neat! Would there be a way of intercepting state and making 'snapshots' into a more traditional format, like SQL, or even a JSON file? It sounds like this defaults to the server storing the whole state in their binary format

Git is still great for developers, who are comfortable with the command-line and are willing to learn all of Git's concepts. But let's be honest, Git isn't the most friendly tool for most computer users, many of whom have nev

Interesting idea. But supposing that the quality never nosedived, I suspect companies would still be doing these mass layoffs. Quality is always relative to the overall pool of job applicants, and companies would just layoff people with a

Yeah I'd imagine that's the best way. Lots of LLMs can generate workable Python code too, so code that jives with Blender's Python API doesn't seem like too much of a leap. The only trick is that there has to be enough B

If things like slots are used, it isn't necessarily nasty coupling. But I agree this approach does make more a more complex tree structure than something you would see in a typical JSX/TSX file. That said, I think the author&#x27

As a primarily frontend-developer, I can attest to this sentiment. I should add that most backend devs I know understand the basics of HTML, CSS and Javascript, but they're less interested in learning new framework/library/te

Yeah, me too. I was checking out the Lucky framework the other day. At least on paper, it looks impressive.

I don't think spending the money on these outreach programs is wrong either. I will say it does show conflict in terms of what the Processing foundation should focus on. It could be that many of Processing's donor's had the a

I also don't have a CS major but work as a developer. I can attest to the OP's urge of wanting to enroll in CS in hopes that once I finish and get another job, I won't feel as overwhelmed as I did before. While I'm sure

There should be a shorthand phrase for "I agree with all parent nodes of this". Like a pseudo OOP-type syntax. Buying a bike and riding it regularly was my single best investment in terms of physical and mental health. A close s

Most wall studs don't have an outlet or a switch attached. Besides, wires come in from all heights, making the height for the hole of the wiring highly variable. Also people's preferences for switches and outlets varies (albeit

ah ok. I never saw those captcha things as work per say, but yeah I guess they are. Free work for some model data somewhere.

by mikebelanger 7y ago
What do you mean by 'work for Google for free?' I don't see that being required anywhere on the site.

Dude! I didn't even notice that. If you've ever had to look something up late at night - dark mode is a godsend.

Ah neat - thanks for sharing. I'm gonna try that out.

Lots of neat descriptions on the page. Can't wait to see the reference documents.

Nice! Also liked the trivia 'snuck' into certain depths, like the deepest scuba dive at 332 meters.

Oh yeah, I wasn't trying in any way to insinuate that Gimp should just 'become like software x', and I guess in the above, it sounded like x would be Blender. I don't think project-focused development would make it anyth

by mikebelanger 8y ago
My hope: whichever direction Gimp development goes, they should try doing something similar to Blender - where they bring a bunch of developers and artists into a space. While they're in that space (for a limited amount of time) work

Yeah to me the Tiny Home concept missed the point, on multiple fronts. Like you said, what's preventing younger cohorts from buying isn't the actual scale of existing/conventional homes, its the ability purchase of the land
