Hmmmm... even though I'm a cheerleader for it, I wouldn't recommend starting with FreeCAD. Learn on something more feature-complete and with a less idiosyncratic UI, like Onshape. I learned Solidworks at work and without that foundation I wouldn't understand what's wrong / missing about FreeCAD (which is still a lot).

I think ra is complaining because changlog.qgis.org appears to be inaccessible. HN hug of death I guess. qgis.org itself seems fine.

I believe in freecad! It's not there yet, but the latest release is a lot of progress!

I used it to write papers about glaciovolcanism early in my career. Later, I used it to study caves on the Moon.

Hard agree. Before LLMs, if there was some bit of code needed across the industry, somebody would put the effort into writing a library and we'd all benefit. Now, instead of standardizing and working together we get a million slightly different incompatible piles of stochastic slop.

I just got a new job, hired as level 5 with official title Software Engineer (Mid-career) although my boss tells me I'm Chief Engineer. All the level 2 people on my team seem to be Senior Engineer or Lead Engineer.

> If you really think "the whole moon thing is pointless" NASA is pointless.

There's more to NASA than Artemis! NASA's robotic spaceflight programs generate extremely high science return at relatively low cost. Missions like Psyche, Europa Clipper, and Dragonfly are humanity's real explorers.

And their aeronautics work is valuable as well. Low-boom, etc.

use of "crux" is a little punny here too

but yeah faiths are into faith

I skimmed this. I use web components a lot. Unless I'm mistaken, they don't provide reactivity; you have to write that yourself. Reactivity was the feature that launched modern js frameworks so I think the article really overstates the case.

The article also misses something more important: broad native ES module support in browsers means you don't need a build step (webpack).

The "AI makes it easy!" part of the article makes me want to hurl as usual. And I'll stop short of an accusation but I will say there were some suspicious em dash comparison clauses in there.

For the millionth time, would it kill ya to spell out the abbreviation the first time you use it? My googling suggests we're talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectives_and_key_results , but my googling isn't always right.

It's cold and lonely here on the moon. -- Jonathan Coulton

I presume you meant "fantastic," not "fantastical"?

Oh, it's a mostly nonsense (IMO) document that a design contractor did for a new Pepsi logo. I don't really know much about it but it gets posted on HN frequently when someone makes fun of designers. I dunno if it leaked or what, but here's a reddit thread about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Design/comments/hspqgd/pepsi_logo_r... . I'd bet the GP post of this had their opinion formed at least in part by this document.

How would / does Moltbot try to prevent humans from posting? Is there an "I AM a bot" captcha system?

Maybe, but the most compelling scifi to me personally is the generation ship stuff, like Ring by Steven Baxter.

Ah, LLMs. I should have guessed.

What do you mean by "exclusion"?

I don't even understand what discipline we're talking about here. Can someone provide some background please?

Ok I swear I had a printer that would do some kind of internal cleaning noise thing every time I plugged something else in to a 120v outlet anywhere in the same apartment. I never really tried to figure it out.

Before I waste any time on this article, is the "0.01%" claim backed up with any evidence?

Um. Is this jeopardy? If so, "Who is Obama?"

It sounds like you may be confusing schizophrenia with multiple personality disorder / dissociative identity disorder. Easy to do, since they are often mixed up. https://www.medanta.org/patient-education-blog/myth-buster-p...

So the weird answer is... a better model Lenovo. They vary from plastic disaster to metal or carbon fiber dream machine.

Me too, phd at NM Tech. Loved being in Socorro. You?

I did a sort of internship at Los Alamos which involved building some drones. A year or two later I got a call from my advisor there, out of the blue asking me if I had anything immediately available that could do recon underground effectively. I didn't really, so I declined. I asked what they needed it for and he said it would be easier if I got the info from the news. That was kinda terrifying ... turned out to be this incident.

Internship started as this thing: https://youtu.be/hq03MsP1MPI?si=lVpDMLqRN4nfwMiA really great experience.

thanks

What does "linear" mean in this context?
