Bryan has been working on this forever! Truly a labor of love. Neat to see it pop up here. He also does illustrations of homes around San Francisco (amongst other things), which I highly recommend checking out: https://www.instag

Aerospace looks neat - might have to give it a try. However, honestly, 99% of my multitasking pain on MacOS comes from the un-removable ~300ms animation delay when switching spaces. "Reduced Motion" changes the animation to a fade

Came here hoping someone would mention those absolutely cursed cameras - the ones with the pre-canned video of a guy in a back office "monitoring" the feeds? Gets to me the worst when I'm on my 3rd Home Depot trip of the day

Has nobody learned anything from the Humane saga? I don't get it - if you have something so revolutionary and so great, just release it and let it speak for itself!

While this all is super cool, and I don't want to downplay TFAs efforts - I'm kind of at my wit's end here. You've gotten me at a bad time. I use a computer every day to do electrical (and sometimes, poorly) mechanical C

Concepts is nice. Subscription model IIRC but I’ve been happy with it. Nice options for different papers, can cut and paste/transform objects. Has multiple layers.

It pains me deeply that they used Autodesk Fusion in one of the app screenshots. It is by far the worst piece of software I use on Mac OS. Wish the nano-texture display was available when I upgraded last year. The last MacBook I personally

Your app is stunning! Love the real-time map! I'm working on some hardware in this space (I've been up to my eyeballs in GTFS lately) and I can tell just how much went into parsing and presenting the transit data. If you're w

Plugging my own project here [1] for SF's Muni to say I 100% agree with you - the phone is a trap! There's something so charming about having a thing you know you can look at anytime and __no matter what__ it's doing exactly

Great writeup! You show things are difficult to debug even when you have a board where all of your signals of interest are easily accessible. It's a bad week when you have a bug that only is reproducible on form-factor hardware. Imagin

Wow! Thanks for this! This is the second time that the EMF file format has come in handy for me. In college I used to export my Matlab plots as EMF so they'd import into my Word documents all crisp - it was the only format which enable

I cannot stand the lack of SVG support in Google slides. When I worked on the hardware team there I hated that I had to import my polished vector block diagrams into slides as PNGs. There was a 10+ year old bug thread with 100s of +1s for S

Sweet! Would love to host this myself and get rid of my Strava subscription. I wrote a Python script that iterates through all of my activities there and downloads the `.gpx` for each - I could share the code if interested! Not sure how you

I love simple light-based data transmission stuff. I've seen it included in things like guitar pedals that have just a few config bits that someone might want to change infrequently. An app to change some settings can be as simple as j

That's fair! I'm just not a big trackpad person since I find doing ECAD or MCAD with a trackpad to be not so enjoyable :)

Like others have mentioned, Sumatra is one of a few Windows-only utilities that I routinely miss when on Mac or Linux, primarily due to two simple interactions which I miss every day viewing schematics, mechanical/technical drawings or

Cool to see this here and people talking about it. I volunteered with the American Chestnut Foundation during my summers in high school. Usually spent a few weeks on the Meadowview research farm collecting catkins off trees, “processing” th

Before COVID I was going to Endgames almost every week, sometimes 2x a week. Highly recommend. Thunderdome on Wednesdays was also great. It's a "running bracket" competition. Two teams, 25 minutes each, audience votes on whic

One of my favorite pastimes during COVID has been browsing the "free" section of the sfbay CL. Some truly weird and confusing things on there.

Can someone help me understand something regarding gift cards as a way to support businesses during this shutdown? Gift cards are basically outstanding liabilities, right? If they're not accounted for correctly, when large amounts of p

I had a similar idea on a flight last week and decided to implement it using Love2d's shader support. It works with Love 0.10.0. Had some fun with it, if you hit "h" while it's running, it spawns a grid of gliders across

Yes. Though they are pretty "hush hush" about the differences between the two classes, in fact, the course numbers are the same, it's just common knowledge that one professor teaches "Modern" physics, and one teache

At Georgia Tech, the labs associated with Physics I and II have a large programming portion. They had us use VPython [1], which is a strange package which includes a version of python and a graphics library. It worked pretty well, and I got

The integration of acceleration is velocity, integrate again and you have position.
