How long would it take to spin up an injection molding line? Aren't there parts that exist that are easier to 3D print, due to overlapping elements or internal geometry which requi…

I found it hilarious when a LA based startup compared their pricing structure to a 'nice meal' (50-100$) Not only did it insult my definition of a 'nice meal', but also made me not…

I think the catch all term for that is YAGNI.

I agree, especially for signage. Although don't most university's encourage the opposite? Also short comments seem unconstructive online.

Oh, it's not just Avid. Some audio production software such as ReFX Nexus still uses a USB dongle. There is no way to use the software without it plugged in. It also has a policy w…

I've written tests before, but there ain't no way I'm writing unit tests for a throw away coding exercise that used 4 hours of my time already.

The amount of time required to 'learn' the Google interview would be time that could be spent learning more universally applicable skills. Is it true that an experienced developer …

I've seen so many awful standards in my time when it comes to comments. Most of the time it's NIH syndrome, or people who love arbitrary rules. People love to make/follow rules, bu…

I'm completely the inverse, the ordering is the most convenience part of shopping already, the hardest bit is taking delivery. Me. I order my Queal (powdered soylent) in massive qu…

Don't try to use logic against hardcore environmentalists. Plastic == bad. This is a bad website to be honest, as ordering consumables off Amazon least environmentally friendly way…

I enjoy painting. I recently got a load of acrylic paints, hardwood panels, canvases, and an easel. Definitely not something that can fit in luggage. There are some hobbies that fi…

https://medium.com/@eventbrite/mobile-safari-whyyyy-73cf6103... Here's a fix and description of the issue, but yes. The bottom of the screen will take trial and error. I've been me…

I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. :-)

It doesn't look good on a portfolio. If the mockups are boring then you have done your job well. The problem is that mockups that stand out, are what gets steak-holders interested.…

It's actually a musician role I'm auditioning for. Bassist. I'm also kind of worried about carpel tunnel, but I've still yet to pass the audition. :-)

I would be very much interested if working on a cruise ship for a season (9 months) would decrease my life expectancy.

They are very secretive about what goes into those paints, they don't list the pigments on the tube, and when asked state it is a 'proprietary formula, developed over several years…

Purely to avoid confusion. Ivory black is present in most starting sets, wheras Mars Black is the non-default black. They have very slightly different color temperatures

No other yellow comes close to the opacity of cadmium though. Unless you ingest it, I'm pretty sure the toxicity is a minor point. For watercolors where you want transparency, Hans…

Pigments are used more for paints, and I don't believe that markers and watercolor pencils base their naming on them. I've got a set of Derwent Inktense 'watercolour' pencils, and …

The other fascinating thing is light-fastness. PR83 (Alizarin Crimson) is a cool red (purple facing), and is recommended by many art teachers... It's also objectively shit as a pig…
