HeyGears is releasing a prosumer full color UV inkjet resin printer this year for < $2K: https://store.heygears.com/products/heygears-g1-direct
Free and open source and, as far as I can tell, does everything this is claiming to do and more. It's part of our workflow for the game my son and I are making.
edit: minus the AI stuff
A few notes:

"There's this guy, Curtis Yarvin. Who's written about some of these things. A lot of concerns that said we should deconstruct the administrative state. We should basically eliminate the administrative state. And I'm sympathetic to that project. But another option is that we should just seize the administrative state for our own purposes." - JD Vance in 2021
You can do this with Java. After you start a new world you select "Open to LAN" in the settings menu.

Nobody is downloading mods from Google. Modrinth, CurseForge and Prism are all very straightforward apps. You download the mods within those apps and they (mostly) handle dependencies. It's 1 click to launch Minecraft after that. My 6 and 9 year old use them easily and only one of them is a genius - but I won't say which one out of fear they might read these comments after I pass.
They both prefer Java fwiw.
And Essential mod gives you costume editing as well as making playing with friends even easier than it already is. https://essential.gg/
Are they though?
I just setup ubuntu 24 for my son to play games and it's comparatively a very unpolished experience. I'm being very polite when I say that.
I can't count how many useless WAP development conferences my company sent me to.
She was 45 or 46 when she made Sunshine.
Semantic CSS class names are a failure because the context in which they are named is often a moving target. In the real world, a good name for something at point A in the timeline is not likely to hold up at point B for the majority of developers out there. It also relies on a persons capability to extract meaning from an arbitrary name and hope that their understanding of what that means lines up with the original developer's intention of what it means. And then that can fall apart if you are working with teams with different cultural perspectives and language proficiencies.
Utility CSS also lets you tie into an underlying design system that enforces consistency. You know someone doesn't know what they are talking about when they make the claims that tailwind is just inline styling because it isn't. Inline CSS styles are absolute. Utility CSS classes are tied into a design system that can be mutated and changed.
Honestly, your whole Nue project is written about in such a way as to be mildly insulting. Like I would never even consider using it regardless of whatever supposed superiority it may or may not possess because you kind of come across as a pretty unlikeable know it all. I don't know if that's true or not, but that's the impression I get reading the stuff you've written. This article is sort of another example of it. You literally tell people who use tailwind CSS to "learn CSS" and that we are taking part of a "trend". It's got the real dinosaur vibe get off my damn lawn vibe going for it. That's saying a lot because I'm pretty sure I'm older than you and I've been doing this as long, if not longer.
* What are you going to do when you hire a non-technical writer down the road?
* The handwringing about control over SEO smacks of NIH and makes little sense. It feels like a very thin justification for this weird scheme.
* You are a technical company but you couldn't figure out how to apply your look and feel, which isn't unique and feels like a bootstrap template, to something or anything else.
* Your content is JSON in JS
I'm going through some of your blog posts and I just don't see where this kind of overkill is necessary. Nothing I'm seeing can't be represented in markdown with a little front matter. I mean MDX lets you use react components, which doesn't feel like a good idea to me either but feels like a better idea than this.
I dunno, kind of a strange read first thing in the morning.
I've lived here for 12 years, I know how it works.
A $650 cpap machine costs well over $2K here. So I thought I'd import one. Apparently you need a prescription in the states? Ok, get a "prescription" from an online service that basically just asks you if you snore over a video call. Amazing.
Buy machine and have it sent to a freight forwarding service. They fuck up the paperwork.
It gets held in Vietnamese customs for almost 4 months. Go down to customs once a week to argue with the guy. One week you can't have it because it looks used. It doesn't look used.
Next week you can't have it because they think I'm importing to resell it. Yes it's a very hot market right now.
Repeat same processes with different people next successive weeks.
Finally someone says to bring prescription. But they don't write prescriptions for CPAPs here. A lot of hand waving when you tell them that. Go back to cardiologist who told me to get the CPAP and ask for a prescription. Oh no, he says, we don't write prescriptions for that. Can you write a letter saying that you don't write prescriptions and that I need the machine? Oh no, he says, I can't do that.
A couple of weeks later finally get someone at customs to agree that my sleep apnea test is proof enough. Bring the test in. Nobody looks at it. They still release the machine to me.
I would still take this random bureaucracy over American insurance any day of the week though.
The junior artist in your hypothetical would have as much liability, if not more.
The $35/mo pricing seems off to me. DataGrip is $9 a month and feels more capable - though I only spent a couple of hours with ultorg but I didn't see any benefit worth paying 3x for. Again though, only a couple of hours of use. I also don't know why I'd be paying more for a tool than I am for the database service its connecting to.
