For simple parametric CAD, use a trial of Fusion360 or Solvespace. Then 3d printing it is as simple as slice and print using something like Cura or PrusaSlicer. Plenty of tutorials for those two.

>put your excel file in git repo Binary blobs don't work very well in git repos. Perforce might be better, or so I've heard.

Have you considered a mouse with macro buttons? Or a keyboard with macro buttons?

I appreciate the work that's been put it, I think it's one of the better parametric CAD modellers I've tried.

And Kotlin's coroutines are also "just blocking and threadpools under the covers", but people will still sing their praises. It's really not a killer for most people using it.

Not the person you're replying to, but in my experience going from Fusion360 to a new program due to license changes, FreeCAD has a lot of "boilerplate work" you need to do in order to get to modelling, including understanding the toolbars you need, parts, etc. but in Solvespace it's pretty much just draw and constrain like in Fusion360. FreeCAD spits out cryptic errors in a big log at the bottom that's pretty useless, but Solvespace tells you exactly what's wrong (generally).

It is missing a few things, like selecting a face won't let me draw on that face, which it probably should allow since it technically knows all the information about that plane (face origin and normal). And Fusion360's inset tool is invaluable for making stepped features from existing complex geometry without having to redraw and constrain a whole new set of stuff. And also negative extrusion distances, which are basically a difference boolean operation, should probably be allowed for usability. But overall I'm very happy with Solvespace.

Pâro!

Isn't that what gists are for?

Write a wrapper project that changes your location before any left-pad or right-pad function calls. Or just fork both and fix them how you see fit if they're open source.

If it turns off, you die.

Bold of you to assume that requirements are properly defined.

I would go one step further with the first one, because I was completely forgotten about for the first two weeks of my first job:

You will be onboarded to your new company.

It's already on HN now and the Wayback Machine is a thing. Once it's on the internet, it's pretty much there forever.

Only if you meticulously flip the bits on your hard drive with a laser, by hand.

The hardest part about requirements is that the systems engineers are profoundly unhelpful with actually giving me any.

Sounds like the beginning of a Space Station 13 game. Just needs some distant honking.

The problem I have with 1:1s is that I don't trust my manager so I never have them. Previous attempts to get things resolved with management have always gone poorly for me so I don't even bother to try anymore.

Innovation is about new ideas, improvement is about better implementation of old ideas. That's how I think of it. Something like Khronos, the high speed camera company, which has a lot of innovation (vastly different architecture which helped them reduce costs and make a better specced product than competitors).

You understand that agriculture didn't shut down because farmers couldn't sit on their tractors and pull equipment, but because nobody was buying the product they were producing, right?

The ability to decompose a task into parts The ability to complete all those parts alone (or with team help, if necessary) The ability to delegate those parts to team members

That's it. From there if you're good at the technical stuff you become more of an IC and if you're good at the management stuff you go into management. The first applies to both cases.

I call this the ability to bullshit status.

Why not seL4 then?

Sounds like your phone number is probably banned and someone in the past with that phone number had abused it for spam or something.

Let's not exclude Runescape, when it was a java applet back in the early 2000's.

Is it just me, or does this seem like a rather lateral move to get into more of the "marketplace" like Epic has been doing recently? Is there some grand goal that I'm not seeing here?

Necessity is the mother of invention. Kinda had to cook because my parents came home late while I was in middle school. Got hungry and my mom left meat out to defrost for dinner, so she asked me to make it. Watching my mom cook gave me a good idea of how it's done, and then emulating it was the rest. Knife skills are basically all a beginner needs to learn.

Yes, you will lose a few fingerprints, probably.

What you're thinking of is a journaling archiver. Something like zpaq.

Because there's the constant struggle of making something so complicated that nobody wants to actually configure it and use it. So you have two options: sensible defaults and hiding things away, or just avoiding customization outright. And the second is always cheaper (for commercial products).

On a pull-to-refresh style widget, the scrollbar needs to be at the top. This provides a shortcut to jump to the top and refresh.

Because for most big organizations:

Help align -> More meetings

Remove confusion -> More meetings

Maintain flow -> More meetings

Open up organizational capacity -> Meetings about having less meetings
