tmilard··on Life after 6 YC rejection
Great irony !
tmilard··on Life after 6 YC rejection
6 times no interview. So I decided to expose my small project to kickstarter community.
tmilard··on France Recalls Its Ambassadors to the U.S. and Australia over a Submarine Deal
Well... I feel we got screwed twice !
tmilard··on France Recalls Its Ambassadors to the U.S. and Australia over a Submarine Deal
Because I am french I will not say anything too dark.

But yes, this SUB contract was big. Giant.And Naval Group is partially a state company.

The Worth for french community is this : 1) French just hatted Trump. Deeply. His sense of hatting his allies ( Germany...) and loving his foes ( North Corea, ect).

2) As opposed, French loved Biden. More rounded, multi cultural, more social like in Europe. I would say french people felt Biden was a friend.

So With this SUB commercial stab in the back, the feeling of a friend that betrays us french is palpable.

It feels as if Biden just behaved like Trump.

tmilard··on My Room in 3D
Not yet public. I sell service around the software : I build the places in 3D myself.

tmilard··on My Room in 3D
Really you should. I use babylonJs in my 3D export. ( https://free-visit.net). It's very easy to program. I was amazed at the power of this 3D API : with a few lines you do incredible stuffs.

tmilard··on Ask HN: What problem are you close to solving and how can we help?
2- --> The person Who builds the space in 3D With free-visit 'builder' decides how much he squeeze down the texture quality. His choice depends on the target: Smartphone (low quality), computer with big screen (high quality texture)

3- --> I will see with client feedback. I do not want at this point to over-engeneer free-visit. First I must find my market.

tmilard··on Ask HN: What problem are you close to solving and how can we help?
1: yes, improving it.

2: yes but it is a tradeoff between texture quality and minimazing loading time.

3: Yea, ideally. But KISS is my priority : We have an editor that aims to be simple enough for all, thus no BPR & no shader.

tmilard··on Ask HN: What problem are you close to solving and how can we help?
Yes. Thanks for the long feedback. The controls keys are not perfect yes. WASD to add to arrows ? Yes if not to hard too dev.

As for the head, yes you are right : I should add 'something' that tilts a bit the head up/down when needed.

tmilard··on Ask HN: What problem are you close to solving and how can we help?
Thanks for the usefull and very professional feebback.
tmilard··on Ask HN: What problem are you close to solving and how can we help?
Heu, raise your voice
tmilard··on Ask HN: What problem are you close to solving and how can we help?
Just Refresh the page : it will succesfully play (known bug)
tmilard··on Ask HN: What problem are you close to solving and how can we help?
https://free-visit.net : Like Matterport but with an FPS game engine.

I am looking for my first client: Ideally someone in charge of a Museum/gallery or other grandiose indoor space.

tmilard··on ST Sees AR Glasses Replacing Smartphones
I feel very septic about this assertion. Today the "Smart-overlay" display market is only enterprise : -> helping people understanding a complex machine with an overlay explanation.

Doesn't this mean people use it only when the are "forced" to do it ?

tmilard··on Why I Love Lucy Maud
The writing of Carol Volkart is itlelf so profound and seducive. As if she had managed with success to walk into lucy Maud pathway.

A Spiritual tribute

Quite nice Thierry

We also do virtual visit but from photos https://free-visit.net/fr/demo01

tmilard··on United Airlines will buy 15 planes from Boom Supersonic
Bang! Boom
tmilard··on Y Combinator backed MMO metaverse game is a blatant scam
Yes, it is funny. Sometimes fools with big mouth get more attention than they clearly deserve.

By the way, I wouldn't like to be those three YC interviewers who valitaded this idiotic project into ycombinator !

"Le bonnet d'âne pour tous les trois ! "

tmilard··on The Psychology of Design
As one enngeneer who became a gui designer for the love of it, I can recall all the rules he describes: - Great rules

I also stress the facts that most engenees are so bad to understand the reality of these human rules on design...

Once, in a blog post a designer said this: - "Most engeneers are visualy Handicapt : Deal with it" I feel this is very true

tmilard··on Plant UML – Open-source UML Tool
I use to do my small class diagramm in Microsoft Word.... (yea not very professional, but so simple to do).

Now I have discovered PlantUml. It is nice because you write, and the display is automatically done.

And the display is mostly always perfect.

tmilard··on The Machines of the Isle of Nantes
I saw those wonderfull gigantic automat giants cross Berlin ten years ago. Magic.

Than decided last year to go to Nantes to see the full monty: The creators, the elephant . The fish carousel.

It's worth the trip.

If you are like me, still enlighten by creativity, arts, craft and engeneering, go there. It is a wonderfull place.

France at its best. And Nantes is worth a full WE (château in center, modern beaux arts museum,etc).

tmilard··on The real reason to end the death penalty
Brutality is also not progress. Far from it. We shall try elavating ourselves away from brutality.

Killing is the upper end point of brutality.

Society not deciding to end death penalty is Society with one foot in the mud of ancient brutal regime.

Ending dath penalty is, of course, avoiding killing by mistake 4% of those sentenced. But is is also elavating ourselves from the mud of past regime.

We shall not kill

tmilard··on How People Get Rich Now
Good to know : PG is not alone
tmilard··on Joe Is Wrong (2009)
Yes I oslo agree : For me, the the OO programming gets me close to the design of the problem I try to solve. I mean before even programming. Then when I feel ready to program my solution, Actors become classes naturally.

I tend to believe OO langage simply gives us less work to design & program solutions.

tmilard··on Capturing Reality is now part of Epic Games
Only thinking about mesh geometry count is, my belief, a dead end road...

In our eyes, we do not think of triangle or mesh : We think of geometry patterns. flat rectangular patterns, curved patterns, ect...

--> And this limits enormously the weight of the environment we visualise and memorise.

   - Simple as that -
This is what I do at https://free-visit.net

And this explains why my kitchen works on even a low end Smartphone : https://free-visit.net/fr/demo01/demo02

tmilard··on Microsoft's FoxPro 2.5 Is Fast and Easy to Use (1993)
Foxpro is top notch. And I have never used it. Here is why:

- My former best friend has created a software in 1995 that manages 30% of all vendor machine ( coffee, candy bars, sandwich) in Europe. The software uses Foxpro.

1) He tried twice to migrate to other dev tools. Never succeed.

2) His software is so good his company was in average 40% more profitable then competitors.

3) His CEO has bought 10 competitors of the same size in 20 years. Each time my friends software would replace the former. Than the financial margin would go up.

tmilard··on Ask HN: Is frugality underrated in startups?
1) Client is king : - On my domain ( 3D edit), I have seen countless startups with good financing come. They all died, not because of financing (be it too much or too little) but because all has a technology no client really wanted.

So yes at the end of the day, if you spend less (ie. being frugal), you will have more time to finalise your technology.

2) $$$ for market fit: I think the only advantage of not being frugal is only when you take the ride with your friend called Market-fit. At this stage you have to go fast. Really fast. So, having good money is very good.
