    The cost wouldn't necessarily be in the bike, but in requirements for mandatory paid registration, licensing classes, insurance, inspection, and safety equipment.

    Wattage is basically meaningless. There is nk standard way to measure it. Almost all "250 watt" ebikes consume much more than 250 watts of electricity at full throttle, and can pro…

    To rotate the view in SolveSpace, you need any one of these: * a keyboard's shift key and a right mouse button, or * a middle mouse button, or * a 3D mouse. I've done some work in …

    SolveSpace is available in library form. It uses NURBS to represent surfaces, with triangles as a fallback. https://solvespace.com/library.pl

    Just because you type dimensions in doesn't mean it's parametric. If you're manually patching meshes, you're almost certainly not doing parametric CAD! (This does match with my mem…

    FWIW, the FLOSS CAD program SolveSpace can generate parametric sketches and export them as SVG files (file > export 2d view)

    Writing an infinite "hello world!" loop on an Atari 800XL was my first programming experience... in the mid-2000s.

    and if you find a video that hasn't had the ads tagged yet, the UI for it is pretty easy to figure out.

    That feature seems common to other git hosts / forges. For example, here's one of Dillo's files, from a few commits ago, from their cgit-based host https://git.dillo-browser.org/di…

    No doubt this is desirable. However, adding all the CSS features required to support cgit may have been a lot more work than editing cgit's CSS. It's an attempt at avoiding yak sha…
