I had this written in Kotlin several years ago but now I want to do it all in Java, use as little 3rd party deps as possible and add more extensive unit testing.
I'm a long-time FreeCAD user, and one of my annoyances is that long-running operations lock up the entire UI and can't be aborted. This is particularly annoying if you realise you made a mistake, but have no way to go back and correct it without waiting for the operation to complete first. Or you kill FreeCAD but then you don't get to save your work. So for my first contribution to FreeCAD I'm working on fixing this.…
Always awesome to see new freecad devs chiming in. Thank you for your efforts, I bet a lot of people are reading your comments and nodding in approval, waiting for freecad to enter its heyday.
As far as I'm concerned FreeCAD has been the world's leading CAD program for at least the past 8 years (which is how long I've been using it).
All of the competition is at least one of (worse; proprietary; doesn't run on Linux), which means FreeCAD beats all of them in my value system.
I live next to a school, so there's a low speed limit (30 km/h). Still, people drive like race drivers and the city hasn't ever responded to the residents' hopes of introducing a speed camera. I wanted to have some data on how many people speed, the max speed recorded, that sort of thing. Things the city should be doing after many complaints of dangerous driving and people being almost killed on zebra crossings. I ha…
This is very interesting. I had the same need a few weeks ago, which resulted in a tiny Golang/OpenCV project ( https://github.com/kmmndr/motion-speed ). In my use case, we even had champions beating 60 km/h, three times allowed speed
Working with clients I realized that many companies lack basic monitoring and observability. E-commerce shops go down and no one notices. DBs do thousands of useless queries per minute. Emails stop sending silently. I’m building a tool to make monitoring setup a no-brainer. I’m talking about basic website monitoring setup in 5-seconds — literally. The problem is not a lack of tools. The existing tools are not even th…
So uptimerobot.com is complicated for you?
Apparently finding and setting up monitoring is too problematic for all of the people who are running their freshly-created startups and e-commerce shops without any monitoring.
For someone who does not know HTTP from HTTPs or all the different kinds of probes, reading about them and making decisions about what to set up is a time investment. Complicated might be the wrong word.
All you really need to do is to provide a domain name and an email address for alerts to get basic monitoring set up. My goal is to set up monitoring with zero decisions under 30 seconds.
Getting pretty close with nixmonitor.com

Well done, LinkedIn is a cesspool. Ironically the only thing I am using right now is Twitter, since a lot of interesting people are still on there. There's a lot of negative but balance as well. For every MAGA or ESR's comments, I balance it out with Miguel de Icaza's views on Gaza, etc.
You should be able to use Twitter without justifying yourself
