This is cool, and some of Demaine’s other work is amazing too. https://erikdemaine.org/papers/Origamizer_SoCG2017/paper.pdf ^ provides an algorithm for generating any 3D solid via folding a 2D net (origami style)

The kind of follows the standard midwit meme progression one sees in programming as well 1. Making stuff is fun and goofy and hacky 2. Coding is formal and IMPORTANT and SERIOUS 3. What cool products and tools can I make? I feel like this p

Yeah definitely worth fixing... This seems overall rather thoughtfully designed but that bug hurt

OK, I tried it out. First thing I did was type a website into the big bar at the top and got an upsell modal for an AI thing... I get the need to make money but this was not a good first experience for me

Curious to give this a try, how would you compare it to Arc? I used Arc for a while but eventually just ditched it for going back to chrome (Also, landing page nit, but the kerning on the H1 is pretty wide, and the kerning in the wordmark i

That was a lot of bullet points, but doing more communication asynchronously is good. I have a small company so it’s obviously easy mode, but we got rid of slack and it’s been great. Basecamp isn’t necessary though, Github discussions is a

Oh duh... well my question was not insightful but yes your answer makes sense, there are no bishops on the board lol

"Pawns may not be promoted to bishops;" ?????????? For real, I would absolutely love to know why that constraint was needed. Does anyone have info on why?

We recently replaced slack on our team with Github discussions and phone calls/texts for really timely P0 type stuff. This seems like a similar idea with a nicer UI. I don’t really see a huge upside on the “feed” aspect, but this would

Is this using canvas graphics? I don't think I've ever seen that before for a modern web app. Reminds me of the Mac OS 9 in the browser demo. Can we get SnapCode running in there? https://infinitemac.org/2000/
