oschrenk··on Generate parametric, manufacturable 3D models in seconds
I had a lot of fun with https://github.com/tomasf/Cadova

A library/toolkit for the Swift programming language to built parametric 3d objects.

Give Claude access to the docs and examples and you can do amazing things.

oschrenk··on Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
If it’s one way (that wasn’t quite clear from the requirements to me).

take a look at https://tus.io/

oschrenk··on Black Tesla employees describe a culture of racism: ‘I was at my breaking point’
I would presume that phones are not allowed on the factory floor - if only for safety reasons around machinery. That would reduce the probability of having records.
oschrenk··on Show HN: PaperDelivery – fetch articles from your Twitter feed
Great idea! Was using it without realizing how new the product is.

What happened to it? The website/service seems to be down?

oschrenk··on Heliogen, backed by Gates, says it has achieved a solar breakthrough
I think the article is overplaying the promise of CO reductions.

Around 60% of CO2 (see 1) emissions during cement manufacturing are just a byproduct of the chemical process converting calcium carbonate to lime (see 2) - nothing that solar power can help with.

What keeps me from updating that I am confused about the way forward regarding FileVault & APFS. I currently have FileVault enabled as I need my drive to be fully encrypted (liability for my clients). I want my backups to be encrypted as well.

But now APFS solves disk encryption on FS layer instead of going through CoreStorage. And I'm confused about the way forward for me.

Is there some documentation that explains 1) What happens to FileVault/Backups during initial conversion? 2) Am I better off to disable FileVault and then encrypt using APFS? 3) How does the APFS full disk encryption work? Does it have any problems, especially backup related? 4) Can I enable/disable FileVault after the conversion?

oschrenk··on Htop explained
Re 2) I'm running a multi user homebrew setup for years. I have my users (personal and various work accounts) live under the "Local" Group and do

``` sudo chmod -R 770 /usr/local/ sudo chmod -R +a "group:Local allow delete,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /usr/local/ ```

I remember sometimes running into permissions issues but nothing re-running that command didn't fix.

Good idea. Would you consider adding it as an rss feed? I think it would be nice to be able to subscribe to something like http://cccode.cc/shell+java-script+java.rss

Thanks, bookmarked.
oschrenk··on Question: Getting a Job and Moving to UK
I'm planning to try the same. Would you have some pointers where to start my job search? Did you write to specific companies or did you start your search by crawling job offer sites?
