Yeah, talk about burying the lede! I had no idea so much progress had been made on this problem.

Onshape is a decent middle ground here. The BREP kernel (parasolid) is obviously closed source, but the standard features built on it (extrude, loft, etc.) are open-source and written in their own bog-standard c-family language of FeatureSc

Yep. Here's a video of a CAD competition, with experienced Onshape user modeling simple rectilinear parts[0]. Video is sped up, but live modeling took under 3 minutes per part[1] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzyI

That's how every other undo works. The whole GRUQ is caused by undos not themselves forming a part of history...

Interesting. So basically the last chain of undo doesn't enter the history until you do something else. I often use undo as a faster delete when making edits, so I think I would still be annoyed by this (why am I seeing this crap I und

Feels like I'm missing something... If I press ctrl-z ctrl-z, I expect the last 2 things typed to be undone. Based on what he's saying, the first ctrl-z undoes one step, and the second ctrl-z undoes the undo i.e. puts me back wh

Every voting system has some flaws (see: Arrow's impossibility theorem), and Instant Runoff Voting definitely saw its worst-case scenario rear its ugly head in Alaska: A Condorcet winner existed (Nick Begich), he lost, and voters who

Absolutely. Naive exaggeration is a fantastic way to make your vote count more than others in score voting. It also encourages more negative campaign tactics, since convincing a voter to rank your opponent 0 rather than 4 is literally 4 tim

Macroeconomics novice here. What's the argument that interest rates need to be close to inflation rates to counteract it? It seems like there should be an intrinsic time-value of money (e.g. 1 stuff today is worth 1.05 stuff next year)

Honestly "ask" as a noun, despite the hate, was one of the most useful corpwords they mentioned. If I say "what's the ask here?" I mean the concrete part. I mean the "request" just described (by a middle-m

Worth noting the vendor lock-in offers are quite significant. My wife and I both had Pixel 3as on Google Fi, both got offers of $300 to trade them in to buy a Pixel 6a. The obviously gimmicky trade in price was only for buying a 6a specific

From the fees. 90% of a $1.1111 profit is $1. Notably, you don't need to post $N to make this bet. PredictIt calculates your worst case scenario and holds only that money. A set of "No" shares worth N-1.12, if it existed, wou

This is true about arbitraging between markets on PredictIt , but I do think the impact of fees on market prices (and on ability to make money on PredictIt) was usually overstated. PredictIt has two fees: A 10% fee on winnings, and a 5% fe

Betting on PredictIt has been a side-hobby of mine for the last 5 years, in which time I turned my fun $10 deposit into (just) over $1000. For me, it's a satisfying way of interacting with the news, motivating clear-headedness and accu

Direct air capture is the holy grail of climate solutions. Its success would offer us a way to put the cat back in the bag, and see CO2 levels decrease . The problem is how absurdly expensive these things are. In the next couple decades,

But that doesn't actually separate the players from their time. Opening theory and endgame knowledge is developed with computers now, and humans use and learn from them. Move accuracy for thousands and thousands of GMs and IMs will eas

Any visual information that needs to be understood by a human doesn't scale. ASCII UMLs might scale slightly less well than, say, powerpoint UMLs, but having them right there in the code comment in cases that do fit is splendid.

It's rare to see such a well-written article, which manages to distill complex ideas into something approachable without becoming non-technical. I've come to expect with articles like this that at a certain point, the author sto

The biggest thing missing for me getting started is a reddit-like "feed" showing where discussion is actually happening. Like the reddit logged-out homepage (/best, not /new). The value of Podbabble is the intersection o

Because the "downstream systems" you mention are just all local git commands. It is necessary to branch from these points, so creating branches and checking state requires them. So e.g. `git diff lsb/master` becomes `git diff

Our company uses a tag, quite improperly, to indicate our "last successful build" on each branch, so our local builds can pull e.g. compiled .o files from that build and speed up the local build process. A tag is improper since it

At the time it was proposed, it was thought that a thermal reservoir on its own could never do useful work. This is always what's observed in practice and laws of heat were based around it e.g. U = Q - W. In order to derive those heat

I'm subscribed to /r/wallstreetbets for the comedy, and the peak activity was definitely when people were throwing in money at the $250-$300 level trying to will it to $420.
