don't sleep on shapr3d which is also very awesome

Mr Dildonic it's definitely not illegal, the poster is a troll

I agree with you -- it's hard to safely kill a runaway thread but it's not hard to kill a runaway process. But I think it's worth noting that the performance characteristics of IPC…

I appreciate your feedback and I totally want to market it in the way you propose. But let me be real: I am one person doing everything. I expect to have all that stuff by Septembe…

When I get to version 1.0 I will do all of those things. For now this is a beta, more for artists who are interested offering feedback to affect the design of the app.

I think it's fine for people to have varying philosophical takes on what should be the normative goals of open source software licenses. Obviously the FSF takes a rather maximalist…

It is for sure a murky area where I'm working out the details. You don't have the full kernel. But you can think of it a bit like a scripting API on top of the kernel, which is not…

> So external contributors can only provide patches without being able to test themselves I suppose. My intention is that if you buy a license for plasticity, you can then build lo…

That’s exactly my take. What exactly constitutes a “derived work” in the gpl (plug-ins do!) is counter intuitive to me. Even the lgpl definition of “dynamic linking” is something t…

Please correct me if I’m wrong but I was not under that impression https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5419923/can-gpl-be-re-li... I thought I am the copyright owner and I can offe…

Yes that is correct. I am not ok with others. Edit: Jesus do you really not recognize sarcasm? People are free to use whatever license they want and I’m free to explain why I choos…

I will say I’m constantly bewildered by which license to choose. I’m using copyleft to defend myself a bit. But weak copyleft because I’ve hate that the gpl prevents blender plug-i…

Parasolid and Acis are the only other options. I have a lot of admiration for OpenCascade but unfortunately its functionality is very limited for my needs. I’m considering parasoli…

I think the main thing to understand is that blender has minimal nurbs support. For example, try doing booleans, fillets, or offset surfaces with blender nurbs. You can’t. Nurbs ar…

I want to emphasize to everyone that this is for concept artists. It’s nurbs used to create interesting shapes and fillets. While there are some parametric features, they’re comple…

This is a significant issue for anyone doing business with Russia. I’m happy with c3d in general but there is a possibility I will be forced to use another kernel

A full build from scratch would require the c3d headers, which I can’t provide. What I am planning is to something like this: divide the app into two pieces, an npm wrapper around …

I wonder if you could handle backpressure this way, somewhat analogously to a thread-per-connection with a bounded number of threads. I don't think node.js API exposes the necessar…

sam don't waste your time this is a joke

I know exactly what I would do in your situation. Tell the CEO you need to go to Thailand for 8 weeks to chill out. Avoid quitting so that you can keep your Visa. Strongly consider…

I think it is fair to criticize Dispatch in the following sense: "is this a library you should use in production code?". I think the answer is no, because it has an API that, while…

There is no better time than during an outage to add these features. In my experience, band-aids are better way to resolve an outage than fixing root-causes. Make the problem go aw…

Suggestion: In additions to hiring scalability experts (many will claim to be experts but most aren't), talk to your investors to find outside technical advisors who have worked on…
