In one of my work experiences, "titles" were used as opposed to (or with a meager) paycheck raises. The most ridiculous aspect was that we had a fair number of group leaders, each with a team of 1 (just themselves). For some it wa

It was based on Slic3r, however I urge you to diff the sources to see how much has been rewritten and extended. Plain Slic3r is too far behind both PrusaSlicer and Cura nowdays.

Back before 2004, QNX could have still been relevant as there was still a lot of OS experimentation from the user/developer themsevels. They could have attracted enough people to carve a niche even in the desktop space at that time. Af

Some months ago I wanted to format/print some documents, and given the existing tooling I had I decided to try the html->pdf route. I fully agree is a shitshow. The way things break across pages is hard to fix even when hand-tuning

The more likely reality is that we have a lot of v4-only hw in place with lifespan of 20+ years. Those devices won't go away. Heck, I work on embedded, and having a dual-stack system is just a PITA to deal with. If v6 would have been f

If that matches my experience, outdoors helps a bit, but not much. Overall you get better contrast and brightness, but the fact that the background is "gray" and not white becomes even more obvious. That being said the rm3 is usab

Anyone with some critical experience also with the ipad pro pen? I'd really like some comments there. There's a lot that goes into writing and drawing, and all the online reviews I've seen seem just to praise it. I used most

I'm a happy owner of the latest rm pro, but I was curious about the boox. You're actually saying the boox is even more muted and darker? In the rm pro the colors are still what I consider to be pretty muted. I had a laugh of what

What about fully client-rendered templates/sites that require JS for visualization? (ie, no graceful degradation at all). Technically static, but absolutely of the worst kind in my opinion.

Great analysis, but I'm even more surprised to discover that producthunt is a "real" website at all. I blocked PH with ublacklist a long time ago for looking like SEO promotion/garbage and looking too much like those &qu

It's a work-around at best, and not a nice one if you consider the wasted disk space. I don't understand why all vendors are actively trying to kill S3 sleep. It doesn't make any sense.

Onshape is great. I use it as well for random things. I do expect them to do a pull-rug on the free license at some point, like fusion did, especially now that they've been bought by PTC. If they do, the commercial license is too expen

BricsCAD is ok. It's more of a direct modeler with constraint support though. It may or may not matter to you depending on the kind of work. I tried it for a while, and while I generally liked it, also got stumped by the artificial lim

I still recommend RealThunder's fork ( https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/ ) at the moment, even though his fork is a bit lagging at the moment. Most of his contributions to the topology fixes got merged ba

This is not anti-learning. This would be akin to git changing command names and flags doing exactly the same stuff. After a couple of times happening, even if the changes are somewhat ok, you too would start to be frustrated. I've seen

As pointed out, these do exist. I've been using several over the decades. And chrome forks too. They all tend to lag behind over time, until the fork is eventually too old and it's either abandoned, useful changes I was relying on

I also find that line hilarious, but maybe it's intended as in "size adjustable down to the millimeter". CAD programs are generally unitless. You can design a box with OpenSCAD "down to a micrometer" if you want. De

Depending on context, I cycle between espeak-ng with mbrola-en or RHVoice, but even plain espeak shouldn't be discarded. RHVoice sounds slightly more natural in some cases, but one advantage of espeak-ng is that the text parsing logic

Indeed. Not to mention, aside from a few "jumps", most of the falls in the video seem unwanted/slips due to pushing. Uncoordinated, and hitting the water pretty much randomly.

It definitely was for me too, and because it had _everything_, thanks to piracy. I started listening mostly mainstream bands, because that's what I knew, and within a few months I was listening to absolutely random authors, genres and

I didn't think of "identity" in this sense, but I don't see this as a show-stopper either. On my current jig developer churn is not high, yet I've only recently met developers hired 6+ months ago. I know first-hand

A bit late to respond, but this is not an user error. From the bug description it SEEMS (because there's still zero feedback from the dev's front) that it's Element itself failing to send the keys in the first place, probably

It's not a great request/tone, and neither is the answer... Update checks and auto-updates for OSS are often an anti-feature though, not for the "surveillance" argument which is silly, but because update checks are often
