    That’s a reasonable explanation. It would be so easy for them to show the offending application rather than the user closing all applications and it’s still locked and then having …

    They are also breaking EU law by not including VAT in their prices for EU consumers. You only find out the final price when they try to charge your card.

    The arrogance of tech companies is unbelievable. How dare ordinary people get in our way. We don’t care if we are causing a nuisance to residents - we’re a $100 billion company don…

    By that stage the firm was a big user of Catia especially on the production side of things. They probably used Rhino at the design stage.

    I was big into Gehry as an architectural student. His work was so different and exciting compared to other architects. He was the "father" of what was called the Santa Monica schoo…

    I agree it’s very difficult to debug them. I sometimes rewrite my shaders in Vex and debug them in that. It’s a shader language that runs on the CPU in Houdini. You can output a va…

    You’re right, it’s not universal. It would be more about extending unemployment benefits beyond the current 6 months in the US until you qualify for a pension.

    It’s kind of how it should be. Otherwise people not paying by credit card are subsidising people who do. It might encourage the card companies to lower their fees.

    Am I wrong in thinking that Grasshopper is procedural modeling and not parametric modeling? Parametric modeing is used in software like Solid Works where you don’t have nodes but h…

    That may be true but the latest media to be hit by the internet is film and TV. YouTube and TikTok are eating their lunch and streaming isn't making up for it. The same happened to…

    They have always treated their customers like crap and in the past it hasn’t hurt their sales. Though recently they have had to sell tickets lower than they would have liked to boo…

    Yes. It’s the end of zero interest rates after 23 years because the baby boomers are retiring and drawing down their savings and has caused a white collar recession. The world is d…

    Would implementing the utility first approach of Tailwind in Sass be better i.e. a Sass interpretation of their @apply directive? Packing a bunch of class names into HTML doesn't s…

    I think it's related to the business culture in Ireland. Interacting with local businesses here, they don't seem to have any problems with ripping you off. Irish people don't compl…

    I wonder if imposter syndrome is due to the expanding work developers are expected to do while management and business types don’t get their hands dirty because they can use the ex…

    One thing that VR gives you that a monitor doesn’t is 1:1 scale. It’s so easy to get that wrong when working on a scaled down version of the model. Though you can just place people…

    Or buy a white case. That’s what I did and it seemed to work, as a Sat Nav device at least. Not sure about recording video which will produce more heat.

    Some companies provide free non-commercial versions for learning e.g. Houdini and Nuke. I wish more companies would do it.

    They’re doing them on the GPU using Core Animation framework. The iPhone has used the GPU for smooth animations since the start while GPU usage on Android depends on whether the de…

    Hopefully they have been working away on RealityKit. The current version seems to be far from complete.
