interstice

I got the impression from the first comment that it was speaking from experience not the docs

Each time people found something else to do that someone would pay them for. This doesn't automatically mean there is an infinite supply of that - unless you believe in it as some kind of fundamental law.

This is a valuable insight, Seniors engineers have often built a career out of building intuitions around when to trust people, not AI.

Although the attacks on the NPM ecosystem are making that sound more like a liability by the day.

Like sci-fi with currency based in kwh or life minutes but this time it's tokens

It could be at cost, but probably not

Local origin not global

I don't really get this, you still have to go outside once in a while as an ultra rich person surely? Why not spend some relatively tiny amount of resources on fixing terrible roads + picking up trash + healthcare for the homeless? Does this happen and I just don't know about it?

Okay but - if an industry can afford more employees than it has is there a real reason not to have them? Aside from shareholder greed etc.

Collectively we have fought long and hard for internet freedom, it's depressing that all it takes is a generation and some bureaucratic idiocy for all that to be undone.

Oh neat! Bookmarked

The panels and controllers are mostly interchangeable are they not?

Oh and while I'm here the single layer non editable menu / weird grid is also the worst. I grew up texting under the desk on a nine key and only checking after I'd selected the contact to send to. Give me that level of muscle memory again someone, anyone, please.

Because they don't allow deeper integrations maybe? I still don't have a watch face layout I like.

"I'm not just good, I'm amazing"

This explains something about why I haven't understood casually mentioning 40c+ temps, 34c in Hong Kong with no breeze is about as much as I can handle.

Ah yes ad hoc, the best way to write fundamental utilities underpinning every fetch your app makes.

Somewhat ironically - as of when I write this this tangent is dominating the size of this topic.

Funniest experience I've had with this is paraphrasing someone almost exactly in a reply to check I understood, and emphatically being told that was absolutely not what was being said.

Well this explains the outages over the last few days

I'm from the Myspace/MSN generation, old habits die hard.

If anything I use them _less_ now thanks to this whole thing.

I've often wondered.. Why _do_ people do this? For one thing it's more code than the alternative

Something frustrating is when a company is being _clever_ with their nouns. Sometimes it's relatively innocuous, but spending time remembering what unique name I should be searching for instead of something obvious is not my idea of a good time.

I'll be trying this! I used uBar for a long time, and more recently taskbar as uBar was too buggy to ignore. My main issue with Taskbar currently is that it sits over non windowed fullscreen apps (eg Steam games). Other than that I prefer the design on yours based on a quick look through the page.

Had a bit of a rethink after this, settling on name spacing more like this at the moment. Quite enjoying the cycle of build/try/improve.

const in1 = draw.rectangle(size1, size1).fillet(2)

const in2 = draw.origin([0,0,height1]).rectangle(size2, size2).fillet(2)

const result = make.loft([in1, in2])

Inspired by yes, it was one of the ones I tried. I like your approach to selection eg endFace, intuitive selection is definitely one of the trickier parts of a code based approach.

Looking at this now, I like the approach! It's also fundamentally different from mine (maybe phew). The mouse driven approach makes it far more approachable, while mine is deliberately code driven and perhaps more quirky (step export is a code function for example).

Also looking at your API, I used a vector type a lot for defining things like planes, so where you have sketch("xz",func) mines a little more like plane(vec).sketch(). How are you handling sketching directly on arbitrary planes or faces etc?

I've been working on this exact idea! But it's late, will remember to come back and check this out to compare notes.

I'm building the CAD app I have always wanted. Free, Parametric, STEP export for 3d printing. The input is just a javascript editor. It uses OpenCascade under the hood. Lots of fun.
