This is a huge shame. Ondsel brought much-needed focus to the freecad development process. I hope that with them gone the project doesn't revert to the mindset of "everyone gets th…

Just to start, I want to acknowledge that the problem space is tremendously complex; the FreeCAD developers have put in a lot of effort and it's amazing that a project like FreeCAD…

Seconding the plug for sh3d. And the source is relatively accessible if you want to make modifications---I patch my personal copy to allow zero-height walls and floors which can ma…

Does the mozilla ppa provide the www-browser metapackage? If not, you might run into [this bug]( https://old.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/uj58i5/psa_fix... ) FWIW my solution …

Are you on linux? For a while I've been running into issues with FF where it will randomly halt repainting after switching tabs. The process is clearly still responding to keystrok…

Yeah, having equals and hashCode on the root Object class is Java's biggest mistake, IMO. Although for a slightly different reason: equality is usually context-dependent, but havin…

It's a tad more verbose, but I assume the simplest way would just be to use a standard closure. void log(Supplier messageSupplier); log(() -> log.info"User is \{someExpensiveFuncti…

To be somewhat glib, let me coin "lazulicurio's law": The only way to have the option to have your preferences met in a large and mature enough market is to be completely price ins…

imo it seemed like there was this phase of "if we pretend null doesn't exist maybe it will go away" that resulted in a bunch of design issues. Beyond Optional, the other big one to…

If you're entering into a webpage, your best bet may be a different scanner. Virtual COM generally ties it to native applications (website COM interfaces are possible, but I'm assu…

Do you have the scanner set up as a keyboard wedge (USB-HID)? From your description, it sounds like it. Usually when dealing with control characters it's easier to put scanners in …

A big part of this is investors demanding financializaton. Unless you're in a sector that investors have decided is a "growth" sector, it's all about capital efficiency and headcou…

The default actually depends on project language IIRC. C# has overflow checking disabled by default, VB.net has it enabled by default. Not sure about F#.

To be slightly pedantic, C# gives you the option to throw an exception in that case (with either checked blocks or setting the CheckForOverflowUnderflow compiler flag to true), but…

Is there a way to change the output format? I find that "||||||| merged common ancestor" to be very noisy, visually.

Also worth noting that Java may be able to fix it in the future after Valhalla drops (and this may mean better implementation for JVM-based languages too).
