Someone at Microsoft thinks the same ;-) https://github.com/microsoft/edit If you have Windows 11 it comes with this new (open source) `edit` written in Rust - open a command promp…

I wondered the same and actually tried it on Windows 95 - it will be a bit more work. The bottom screen shots in this comment https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/1036#i…

SolveSpace just became "officially" available for the Web ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47586614 ), it is also officially supported on Windows (Vista-11), Linux and macOS.…

By the way this creation of his, from July 1990: https://www.fourmilab.ch/evilempire/ is very relevant here, but we are getting off-topic :-) SpeakFreely was his as well - a very e…

One more fun fact: SolveSpace officially is supported on Windows (Vista-11), Linux and macOS, and compiles with Emscripten and runs in a browser. However with a little effort it al…

And 6-7 years later the `WinSxS` directory was born and these days it is tens of gigabytes. `Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase` In an administrator …

Is this critique or praise of his character? ;-)

Join SolveSpace development? ;-)

GNU Unifont is 973KiB, and we also have the vector font unicode.lff.gz at 1.03MB. So the web version of SolveSpace is literally one megabyte of WebAssembly.

But does it run etirely locally in the browser after downloading a total of 2993991 bytes (less than 3 megabytes) of code? ;-)

Had to Google this one :-) Since SolveSpace has a helix tool that can "extrude" any sketch along a helix it should be doable.

Oh! This is very bad! It should not look like this. I've tried Firefox, Chrome and Edge on Windows; Firefox and Chrome an Android phone and tablet and it renders correctly - like t…

The last Autodesk software I've used was AutoCAD 2000 (released in 1999). And I've not followed them since. Perhaps they have indeed become "one of the worst corp. in the world of …

If you get lost press `f` to "fit" the current drawing to the screen. By the way working in SolveSpace is extremely fast if you use keyboard shortcuts - almost everything can be do…

Intentional indeed. It is GNU Unifont - a 973KiB file that covers practically all of Unicode. In a bitmap font, platform independent, self contained, small. Practically all that So…

The other "decent" commercial one that can be licensed is C3D (ASCON/АСКОН uses a CAD kernel based on it in КОМПАС 3D) but it is Russian and thus currently "behind sanctions". Here…

The comparison is pretty interesting, however SolveSpace is badly misrepresented by "not parametric". In my opinion easy, stable and very flexible (the same tools are used in 2d an…

This is ancient news re-implemented. Windows NT had a POSIX layer up to about Windows Server 2003: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem http://brianreiter.org/20…
