yehoshuapw··on Parametric CAD in Rust
That is actually not so bad a reason. I use build123d, but want it in haskell, enough to look at how hard it would be to create something similar.

(I also totally agree about the gui being worth having sometimes, and would have loved the ability to fully mix. Code as the main driver, but gui to help choose it. For example to figure out faces and other attachment stuff)

yehoshuapw··on Iran Goes Into IPv6 Blackout
they do have satellites. I'm less sure about how much they care about them - but they are not cheap
yehoshuapw··on OpenSCAD is kinda neat
worth also looking at cadquery, build123d and similar

https://github.com/gumyr/build123d

yehoshuapw··on All it takes is for one to work out
because even when it isn't why people come here, and if there was too much of it you may be right - a message which brings up a smile or warm feeling is enough for people to be thankfull

and that is a good thing

yehoshuapw··on Surprisingly, Emacs on Android is pretty good
have you also used thumbkey (or messagease) by any chance?

if so - can you compare them?

(I use thumbkey, but when I ran across 8vim considered switching

however I use thumbkey fluently and am not sure if worth switching)

yehoshuapw··on The twin probes just launched toward Mars have an Easter egg on board
will space-edition pokemon go be the only reason some people go to visit earth one day?
yehoshuapw··on Researchers discover security vulnerability in WhatsApp
so matrix? (which has it's own issues, but will hopefully overcome them eventually)
yehoshuapw··on Core Devices keeps stealing our work
not eink, but have a look at pinetime
yehoshuapw··on Show HN: One prompt generates an app with its own database
that is very fun to play with, thanks!

it took a bunch of tries to get it to do what I wanted, but https://neat-otter-bj288v.manyminiapps.com a crochet spiral counter helper https://calm-puma-bqqdmr.manyminiapps.com - a falling sand game

I'm quite impressed

yehoshuapw··on Linux phones are more important now than ever
without access - how do you know the files are temp files?
yehoshuapw··on Pass: Unix Password Manager
it took a while to get it to work well, but I use yubikey here, and recommend it. I do need to find and pulg it in sometimes, but overall might leave it plugged in. and I have it configured to require a touch for every operation
yehoshuapw··on Untangling the myths and mysteries of Dvorak and QWERTY (2023)
for phones, have a look at thumbkey https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key (messagease like)

I also recommend dactly (see also https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/ for a more generic keyboard generation)

yehoshuapw··on What we find in the sewers
what you get out of it, depends on what you put into it
yehoshuapw··on The Big Oops in type systems: This problem extends to FP as well
while this does bring up a valid point,

"classic" sql databases are still safer for many things then mongodb.

it is easier to do away with types and constraints, but in many cases they do end up being important safeguards

yehoshuapw··on Astronomical Telescope “Hadley” – an easy assembly, high performance Newtonian
I see you wrote you used PETG - would you recommend it, or would you have done it again in PLA?

(due to accuracy.)

yehoshuapw··on 200k Flemish drivers can turn traffic lights green
I actually assumed that this is because the system tries to figure out where you will be by your planned route. so seeing the bike coming up is much later - for example when the bike will be coming around a corner
yehoshuapw··on Blender: Beyond Mouse and Keyboard
I think they already work in blender

(there even is https://www.printables.com/model/908684-spacemouse-mini-slim... - which I know works in freecad)

yehoshuapw··on What to expect from Debian/Trixie
I ended up in gentoo mostly just to avoid systemd

(used it before, mostly to learn. went to debian for new laptop. gave up after fighting systemd. I'm aware of devuan and artix, but gentoo just worked (after all the time spent))

yehoshuapw··on Staying cool without refrigerants: Next-generation Peltier cooling
so long as it isn't about ai based crypto running on IoT, not interested
yehoshuapw··on Show HN: Shoggoth Mini – A soft tentacle robot powered by GPT-4o and RL
I fully agree, and would also recommend baba is you

it is very different, but also has the feeling of triumph for each puzzle

yehoshuapw··on The Two Towers MUD
also tintin https://tintin.mudhalla.net/ (which is my personal recommendation)
yehoshuapw··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
there actually are images of lots of movement there - so perhaps plain sight is the right answer.

hopefully I am wrong

yehoshuapw··on WhatsApp introduces ads in its app
also adaway, which does the same or can be used in root mode to edit the hosts file.

I use the hosts file from there, and edit it manually via "adb root" (lineageos. root only via adb)

yehoshuapw··on Show HN: Chili3d – A open-source, browser-based 3D CAD application
this isn't really answering your question,

however with opencascade working in webassembly here, perhaps also cadquery and/or build123d can do something like that

yehoshuapw··on Ask HN: Options for One-Handed Typing
for/from a phone: https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key
yehoshuapw··on Address of Pope Leo XIV to the College of Cardinals
not Christian, However see maimonides.

The first rabbi who goes the above path - and during his time, his books were often burnt.

yehoshuapw··on The curse of knowing how, or; fixing everything
I sometimes do that too - but sometimes this leades to another trap: I have something which works, but not the best. and I won't fix it, since the plan is to now do it "right". so I end up staying with a PoC forever..
yehoshuapw··on Design for 3D-Printing
also have a look at https://github.com/CadQuery/cadquery (and https://github.com/gumyr/build123d) python, but more pythonic then openscad
yehoshuapw··on Plasmonic Modulators Break Wireless Terahertz Barrier
it is even by Matthew S. Smith which is pretty close...
