You are watering down “the best” here, IMO. This definition leads towards “the most efficient production”, not “the highest art”. But sure, if you don’t care that a human isn’t involved in doing it. Personally it’s not negotiable to me and

All labels are not the same. Some really do function like unions: groups of artists sharing the functional/procedural/admin burden that comes with keeping their publishing as Saint Francis of Zappa advocated, or paying someone who

Exactly this. Musicians do not have a choice but to engage with Spotify, but any hope that the discovery systems it offers will occasionally playlist their work in return is being cynically -- and secretly -- diluted with slop.

The alarming thing in this little sub thread is that I am not wholly certain that none of you are joking. That is where we are now.

Solidworks for Makers is currently $25/yr I think (discount code). I'm a pretty happy FreeCAD guy, actually -- my issues are not FreeCAD but learning design -- but I will be trying it too.

Sketcher is considerably better, IMO -- it can do so much more. There's an integrated flow for Sketcher from Part workbench now, too. (Gets even better in 1.1, too -- and there are new changes coming to the core datums) I personally do

I have no idea. Just wanted to respond to the idea that the intrigue, such as there is, around Robert Maxwell’s death is logically connected to the intrigue around Ghislaine. The central disease of QAnon/BritAnon thinking is the belief

What you are referring to is the "Topological Naming Problem", where the names of faces changed after operations (because OCC, the CAD kernel, doesn't name them at all!), causing mapped features to move or break. There were a

Many, many things have changed since 0.21. There's a radically improved UI themes system (and two new core themes as well as good support for OpenTheme). There are pretty significant changes to the "fit" of the UI, better pre

He is suggesting that there is some link between Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Ghislaine met Jeffrey Epstein the year Robert fell off the Lady Ghislaine. She did so because she was in NY schmoozing socialites because Sir Bob had bough

The party that has got a plurality of the vote runs the government, in fact. Same as in the USA this time, eh? But again, in case it is not clangingly obvious yet: we don't vote for parties to control government. We don't vote for

Reform is a spinoff, yes, in the same way that UKIP is a spinoff: it's a party consisting of people who didn't/couldn't/wouldn't get selected as conservative MPs, plus on the odd occasion one or two who left (L

It's frustratingly like that and not like that. For example, you cannot write a routine that says "get me the edges of this object generated by this other routine, and apply a 1mm fillet to them all". Because while the code m

It shouldn't, probably. Is it a bit rough around the edges? Yes it surely is. But 1.0 is pretty solid. I don't know why it particularly needs to be the freely available thing that corners "easy to use", when Tinkercad do

I don’t give a flying fuck either way and I am astonished anyone thinks Eyes Wide Shut is some truth-based message to the world.

by throw646577 2y ago
Right. I think if you’re not reliant on a few generalist operations where opencascade is weak —- it is not great at very marginal fillets/chamfers/thicknesses —- then FreeCAD is probably a good way to get programmatic, GUI access
