It does seem a bit of a throwaway statement regarding OCCT - I also work with it every day and, for the most part, it has all the same eccentricities and limitations of any large heritage-listed C++ library. There's a lot it can do!

Have you worked with Open Cascade recently? As someone who works with it every day for developing a CAD application, it would be interesting to know what people see as its limitations. It's the only geometry kernel I've had access

This was my impression as well. I think people actually feeling burnt out creatively might read this and get a forlorn feeling that what is required is more work, and then go straight back to mindlessly scrolling

I have an AMD 6700xt. It was laggy in Windows and under X11 on linux, but under Wayland I get 60-80fps and it's very usable. Not sure what the cause is EDIT: Under Chromium (compiled from AUR) the performance is roughly the same

I regret the years I spent with Unity Any non-trivial feature that Unity has where Godot lacks is usually re-implemented by bigger developers anyway. For Indie developers, these features are almost never necessary. When developing tools, Go

Just because I’m curious, in what respect is Conan a “partial” package manager? Within the constraints of existing C++ projects and the variance of their build systems, I can’t imagine how to do it differently. In my experience, most of the

The closest thing we have at the moment is conan[1]. It’s a cross platform package manager that attempts to implement “integrations”, whereby different build systems can consume the packages[2]. This is a big problem with package management

Are there any implications with this for software piracy? IE: Can I run my trial software in a new "Sandbox" every time?

A agree with this 100%, I have used OpenCascade and Parasolid in the past. With the recent OCCT development trajectory, I'd hesitate to recommend one over the other on the geometry kernel alone. Also people often forget OpenCascade inc

My recent experience with OpenCASCADE is that since the new FUSE algorithm was introduced for Boolean operations with fuzzy values [0] the library itself is definitely up to par for professional use. (Although it’s unfortunate that many API

Exactly the same issue I ended with. It might need some modifications . I'll have a dig

That is such an incredibly good idea haha Thanks :)

True! Might give this a go tomorrow. I'm kinda shocked it got as far as it did to be honest

I've managed to get it to build about half way; 1. In linux 2. Install wine 7.5 (other versions may work, this is what I used) 3. Create a 32-bit wineprefix on a *case-insensitive* ext4 drive ( https://www.collabora.com/

You aren't the only one haha, I work with Qt every day and this was my first thought.

This looks great, I love the clean GTK for this user interface. Say what you will about GTK and Gnome... for beginners on an operating system such as Ubuntu, having a consistent application concept is very important. Curious how this compar

Felt this as far away as Wagga Wagga, NSW. It's insane how far these things travel, and especially a shock in a place like Australia where Geological activity is so low. We're just not used to this kind of thing

I love the idea of a web browser that integrates more cleanly with the operating system. I use Linux, and can definitely can see this working very well on my DE of choice (gnome)
