Working offline is perfectly doable. I've grown not to rely on connectivity when I was living in a rural area with spotty/slow 3g connectivity at best. Not relying on network connectivity in my entire pipeline is still today a big

For a non-commercial setting I would never touch anything autodesk. You can clearly see how f360 was changed from maker-friendly price to essentially the same price as a professional cad license within a few years with a clear directed stra

Just a reminder that Autodesk is the oracle/adobe of the CAD world, and this is just the way they always operated.

I don't see this as a big problem. This is clearly aimed for development/investors in tech right now, and in this market the 3.5k price tag is actually pretty low consider this is actually a product, and not even a prototype. The

I second poke. It's an amazing tool for debugging in general. It's relatively rare to look into standardized binary formats (you'll likely look directly into a library at that point), unless you're writing a writer/

I also paid a ton between shipping & customs (imported as well). I don't regret it though. If there was a reasonable EU reseller I would actually have bought a second.

I have a kinesis advantage (first version), along with several ergodox variants and other odd split keyboards. I still think it's the best keyboard I have, with the biggest complaint being the crappy esc (and fn keys). Aside from the k

It's going to take a while before the general public realizes this. You need to see multiple failures before you can move the needle on a giant. This is especially true of a popular brand which is seen on android phones everywhere and

> I've also heard the penguin researchers don't smell great when coming back from the field Probably true for anyone working on the field with animals. Heck, even entering the rat stabulary in a biology lab smells.

It's not just a fork with rebranding though. The development done on top of slic3r are genuinely huge. And you can use this fork for any printer too (and plenty of people do). It's nice to pay for actually open development.

They can afford to do that because they have an entrenched quasi-monopoly in the public/enterprise desktop sector. You'll have to get office and windows at the very least, so why not include the license to all the other remaining

What you describe is regular burn-in, but this is not just burn-in. Leaving a static image for >30m has no visible effect on this panel. In this case it's the flicker itself which persists on _top_ of a slight color shift, and requi

I observed an interesting effect. I left the "palette demo" flickering on the same spot for about 5 minutes while doing other stuff on a dell up2720. After closing the page, the pattern was still visible on the LCD when showing a

When tied to academic research this has bigger implications. Reproducibility is difficult or impossible to assess when there's no source, and it also requires higher barriers to entry (= money). The output of that research will also be

I can believe this, the status of the various libraries/toolboxes is not all made equal so YMMV depending on the field. We had a few cases where this was the case involving the signal processing toolbox for example and couldn't re

I don't already fully trust the images, audio and videos I take with the phone. I'm working close to HW and I actively use the camera/picture and videos for future reference and debugging. It's small, fits in your pocket

My experience: you get code from a fellow researcher using matlab, and nobody in your institute is using matlab. Getting approval for licenses is much harder than you'd think. The money is the smallest part. In the end you just want to

I've switched 100% my of my hobbist design work onto FreeCAD since last year. It's still kind of painful, but I didn't feel limited. I'm waiting for it to have his "blender" moment. It's still far behind,

Ultimately though signal is yet another centralized messaging platform that can pull the rug on you at any time, and using a different client to use that platform is officially forbidden. I was fooled by the relatively open nature of the cl

Pascal similarly lives on with Deplhi/Lazarus. I know plenty of currently supported commercial programs running on Delphi and considering a transition to Lazarus. I've seen an uptick in APL and APL-derived array languages. "N

I used to scoff to the language impurity and no operator overloading. Ocaml always felt like a beaten ML, always second in class compared to haskell. As usual, superficial views completely change when you actually start using the language.

Relicensing is a big problem is the OSS world too. To work at all, it requires copyright attribution. For small projects this really hampers collaboration. But if you don't do it early it might become impossible to do later.

It's a real shame, since this is a project management issue. You'd expect python to be a stable language given its age. I expected that to be the case at 2.7. Then at 3.1. At 3.12 it's still not the case. It's reasonable

I'm normally joyful when a modern language (say, julia) decides to break backward compatibility to improve the language on a fundamental level. This is mostly because I'm not too vested in it. For languages where I have 10+ years
