As evidenced by a link to AlternativeTo on their own site, this space has a lot (145+) of competition [0]. At some level, I worry about using things much more complex than a text file, because of portability and longevity. It's enough

I’ve been following Freya’s work [0] for a while. She works in the game industry working with Unity, hosts a bunch of Discord channels, and live streams about game math and shaders. This video is relatively long, but it’s one year in the ma

Yes and no. It really depends on how fast and accurately you want to move that much mass. I worked on a mobile robot years ago that weighted ~5000lbs. It was only putting 2mL of fluid into a tile on the space shuttle at a time. It needed to

FWIW, ChatGPT answered this in one go: "It is best for the university to use the 90 questionnaires that were submitted as the final sample. Since the university selected a random sample of 120 students and only 90 responded, those 90 r

I've asked ChatGPT several times about FeatureScript [0], which is a language used to create features in the cloud based 3D CAD software, Onshape. It will happily invent syntax and code that has almost nothing to do with how FeatureScr

Yes, if it was shitty I would 200% agree with you. This is not shitty. It's the opposite of that. This is one of the more game changing things I've seen in 40+ years of using/programming/playing with computers and the in

There’s really nothing specific about Gen Z in this post. I’m Gen X, and have spent most of my career in open office spaces. I’ve been WFH since March 2020 (in a small one bedroom apartment, with my girlfriend in the same room). I generally

There are tons of papers and research on this topic. Here's just one review of some of the various approaches that have been used. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341476435_Railway_T...

Some people are liking the UI here, but it wasn't clear to me at first that a [+] meant the username was used on that site. In my mind, it could just as easily mean that it's available on that site (that could be a positive resu

This used to be true, but at least the Apple Watch lets me do this all the time. I forget which OS update added the capability.

Seems like this should really link to the .pdf of the paper named in the title of the post. Instead, it's a link to a download page with several files and it's not immediately obvious that the paper is the focus of this post. That

I had another issue with iCloud and photo syncing being abysmally slow, and I ended up digging through LinkedIn and I found the director of engineering for photos at Apple. I messaged that person through LinkedIn, and ended up getting some

It's interesting that Meta is doing such serious low level R&D like this, but it's funny because they can't even keep their notifications in sync with their web site. I get a notification (from the mobile app, I think) th

I don't disagree that most versions/instances of Chrome are updated regularly, but implying that this is universal is questionable. Chrome is only updated if the user lets it happen. I can't count the number of times I'v

NFTs notwithstanding, people paying big money for art aren't usually just "buying" .JPG files. There's often some physical component, sometimes quite large, heavy and difficult to reproduce. Oil paintings, castings, mixe

Is there some connection to Motörhead or is that just in my brain?

Agreed. When I first glanced at the title, I was thinking about the RAAM (Race Across America), where the winners do roughly ~3000 miles in ~9 days (depending on course and year).[0] The actual logistics of this trip North/South along

Ok, a couple of down votes on this. I’m curious why. I was born and have lived almost all of my life in the US. I get tired of provincial web sites assuming that any random person who stumbles upon it will only be from the US, or even more

I love how it isn’t until the third paragraph that the post mentions what country 555-XXXX numbers are relevant to. This is the World Wide Web folks, not the USA web. The whole blog and offering seems US centric, to the point where I’m assu

If you step back for a moment and think about other fields like writing a book, it stands to reason that no matter how good your editor and electronic spelling/grammar checking tools are, the longer the book, the more likely there are

I spent three days in a cadaver lab with two severed heads. I was helping develop a tool to place a wound dressing in the sinuses after an ethmoidectomy. For most of the time we had cloth draped over most of the head except the nose, but I

I live in SF on bedrock, but on the 5th floor of a ~100 year old steel framed apartment building. Definitely felt it, but nothing like the 5.1 in 2001, when I was on the 11th floor of the old Hamm brewery building in SF. That swayed back an

There are plenty of much smaller/cheaper condos in SF with HOAs that are $1500+. I'm still baffled what they are spending that on. Here's a $860,000 condo with a $1876 HOA. https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-F

Uh, maybe include the text being reviewed in the results? It's weird to see all the comments and not necessarily have the text in front of you to see what it's talking about. Even better would be for each comment to somehow link t
