Viewing profile — wakeupcall

In one of my work experiences, "titles" were used as opposed to (or with a meager) paycheck raises. The most ridiculous aspect was that we had a fair number of group leaders, each …

When "quickly" means downloading 242mb of runtime, running it slower than native, on top of the document you want to preview...

It was based on Slic3r, however I urge you to diff the sources to see how much has been rewritten and extended. Plain Slic3r is too far behind both PrusaSlicer and Cura nowdays.

Back before 2004, QNX could have still been relevant as there was still a lot of OS experimentation from the user/developer themsevels. They could have attracted enough people to c…

Some months ago I wanted to format/print some documents, and given the existing tooling I had I decided to try the html->pdf route. I fully agree is a shitshow. The way things brea…

The more likely reality is that we have a lot of v4-only hw in place with lifespan of 20+ years. Those devices won't go away. Heck, I work on embedded, and having a dual-stack syst…

If that matches my experience, outdoors helps a bit, but not much. Overall you get better contrast and brightness, but the fact that the background is "gray" and not white becomes …

Anyone with some critical experience also with the ipad pro pen? I'd really like some comments there. There's a lot that goes into writing and drawing, and all the online reviews I…

I'm a happy owner of the latest rm pro, but I was curious about the boox. You're actually saying the boox is even more muted and darker? In the rm pro the colors are still what I c…

Also running FF with strict privacy settings and several blockers. The annoyances are constantly increasing. Cloudflare, captchas, "we think you're a bot", constantly recurring coo…

What about fully client-rendered templates/sites that require JS for visualization? (ie, no graceful degradation at all). Technically static, but absolutely of the worst kind in my…

Great analysis, but I'm even more surprised to discover that producthunt is a "real" website at all. I blocked PH with ublacklist a long time ago for looking like SEO promotion/gar…

> will often change so quickly that your search term is nowhere to be found About 5 years ago I was often pulling up the cache to see if the indexed/cached page actually contained …

It's a work-around at best, and not a nice one if you consider the wasted disk space. I don't understand why all vendors are actively trying to kill S3 sleep. It doesn't make any s…

Onshape is great. I use it as well for random things. I do expect them to do a pull-rug on the free license at some point, like fusion did, especially now that they've been bought …

BricsCAD is ok. It's more of a direct modeler with constraint support though. It may or may not matter to you depending on the kind of work. I tried it for a while, and while I gen…

I still recommend RealThunder's fork ( https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/ ) at the moment, even though his fork is a bit lagging at the moment. Most of his contributions to th…

This is not anti-learning. This would be akin to git changing command names and flags doing exactly the same stuff. After a couple of times happening, even if the changes are somew…

The way I see it is "I'll have fun at something that feels interesting"

As pointed out, these do exist. I've been using several over the decades. And chrome forks too. They all tend to lag behind over time, until the fork is eventually too old and it's…

I also find that line hilarious, but maybe it's intended as in "size adjustable down to the millimeter". CAD programs are generally unitless. You can design a box with OpenSCAD "do…

Depending on context, I cycle between espeak-ng with mbrola-en or RHVoice, but even plain espeak shouldn't be discarded. RHVoice sounds slightly more natural in some cases, but one…

Indeed. Not to mention, aside from a few "jumps", most of the falls in the video seem unwanted/slips due to pushing. Uncoordinated, and hitting the water pretty much randomly.

It definitely was for me too, and because it had _everything_, thanks to piracy. I started listening mostly mainstream bands, because that's what I knew, and within a few months I …

I didn't think of "identity" in this sense, but I don't see this as a show-stopper either. On my current jig developer churn is not high, yet I've only recently met developers hire…
