I believe it was Discrete Logic out of Chicago that made 3d studio before the tragic buyout by autodesk.
TonyBagODonuts··on Myths about construction
Lowest bidder is exactly how bids are won in my industry. The money is then made by RFIs and ECOs during construction. Petro/chem industry.
TonyBagODonuts··on Price increase on .io domains on January 1, 2022 (Renewal: $55.00)
My .com renewal was $14, namecheap.
TonyBagODonuts··on Samsung UK admits you can’t disable ads on Samsung smart TV
I bought the 65" dumb panel TV from them because I refuse all this be, it's fine, and I feel like it's mine, I'm not renting it by constantly paying with ad watching.
TonyBagODonuts··on Ask HN: Do Google search results have a political bias?
I was shown the google image results for "happy white woman" vs "happy black woman" and the difference in results are stark. I do believe there's an agenda now, if it's internal to google or seo manipulation I don't know, but it's there.
TonyBagODonuts··on Interview candidate commits GCP credentials to code, racks up $78k in charges
Did he not know this was a possibility? We hear about something like this or aws or whatever like once a month. I get that he didn't intend for it to happen but if you let someone and facilitate the action aren't you at least partially to blame?
TonyBagODonuts··on More Americans are taking jobs without benefits like healthcare, vacation
I went contractor with no benefits just to facilitate the family move to a much nicer area, and when they stop renewing my contract my family will stay but I'll go and work. Industry is petro/chem engineering.

A simple vscode addon that puts functions in alphabetical order, if they can be.
TonyBagODonuts··on If you’re going to put your preschooler in front of a screen, choose a TV
We only let our children have screen time on non-school nights, so Friday from about 6 to 8, and Saturday from 4 to 8. They almost always choose computers over tv. Minecraft, digital art, etc. The rest of the time they play or read. The once a week trip to the library as become a core part of our routine. Edit: these restrictions include summer. Same times.
TonyBagODonuts··on No More Movies
We've stopped as a family watching any movie out of Hollywood. I don't think we're alone.
TonyBagODonuts··on Ask HN: Which software should exist, but doesn't?
Extremely manually.
TonyBagODonuts··on Ask HN: Which software should exist, but doesn't?
Sure, anything cloud based is right out, I haven't worked at at single place in 20+ years that allows anything in the cloud. I'm talking about Petro/chem engineering. SharePoint can be on premises, but that is revision/snapshot based, so the whole document is snapshotted, not individual cells. Within a revision a datum / cell might change multiple times, those changes are lost. Each cell change does cascade other changes in many other documents and drawings so being aware of each change is paramount. Missing a change not only would mean incorrect downstream /cross stream documents but it can result in the loss of life. It's a seriously tough problem with serious results.
TonyBagODonuts··on Pixar Has Released RenderMan for Blender
Do you need a commercial license for renderman as you've always needed in the past?
TonyBagODonuts··on Ask HN: How do you make friends over the internet?
I've made a ton of online --> irl friends on a particular platform. It was just a matter of meeting up with one in the group and talking about it on the platform, everyone wants to be second and not the first to take a risk.
TonyBagODonuts··on Ask HN: Which software should exist, but doesn't?
A time series based database that has an interface fully excel facing, including all excel functionality. I want to see the result value of a cell based output at a certain date, when it changed, and why. I need the interface in excel because all of the engineers already know it and all of their calcs are already in it. Not something excel like or similar, excel.
TonyBagODonuts··on What are top lessons you learned the hard way between age 20 to 30?
Time doing things that make you truly happy is not wasted time.

H.r. is not on your side, ever.

Promises of future compensation or promotion are meaningless.

Spend more time outdoors.

Learn a hobby or skill that doesn't involve a screen.

Your health isn't worth what they're paying.

A businesses relationship is just that and nothing more.

TonyBagODonuts··on Trish Rothgeb coined ‘third wave’ and is looking toward coffee’s future (2019)
"earliest use found in Alvin Toffler (1928–2016)."

So is it she coined the phrase as it applies to coffee?

TonyBagODonuts··on Puppy Linux on Wayland, Sort Of
I had used puppy for about a year, it's super fast, loaded the entire os into ram at boot. Gave up on it when I started trying to get non-repo software into pups, certain things just wouldn't work, Kodi for example, so I moved on.
TonyBagODonuts··on Remote workers work longer, not more efficiently
That's exactly what happened to me. Found myself working at the kitchen table from 5am till 9pm. I am just not the work from home kind of person, I become self abusive.
TonyBagODonuts··on Asia-Pacific is home to a rise in new self-made billionaires
Spending months outside of Beijing in multiple island cities and seeing the empty buildings and 90% built infrastructure everywhere I don't doubt China will always be poised to userp American dominance, never actually do it, but always close.
