It really saddens me that people are recommending fusion 360 here.

Sure, I get it. Fusion 360 is an awesome piece of software. But are people really that eager to be completely dependent on autodesk?

Do people not realize that perhaps the reason for why fusion 360 is so cheap is because they are aiming (and on a fast track) to get complete monopoly? Does that not bother anyone? You wouldn't even be able to stick to an older version of the software.

Can you even version control your files? (will you in the future, without buying the premium package?) Yes I know the cloud has your back and everything. But you don't want the files in the same version control system that you use for everything else? What's next, save your python files in another cloud? It's absurd.

Can you export your files to be workable in any other software? (aside from very expensive autodesk products)

Are you not risking loosing everything you ever produced? It's like python2 -> python3 but instead of compatibility issues your code just disappears or held hostage. How is that OK even for a hobbyist?

I'm sure I'm mistaken on some points (please correct me!), because I vomit every time I decide I want to try it and start the download process and start reading their pages (and I don't think I even got to the privacy policy).

The whole application is architectured to lock you in. That is the SOLE purpose of it, why do we accept that?

It is dystopian, and the devil is being universally cheered upon. Have we really lost all hope?
Good to read this work, more work like this is needed and the design community needs to pay attention to it.

Watch a six year old try to use google for the first time; results are swamped by a blizzard of ads and maps and diversions. This is design driven by greed and a/b testing at it's worst - our tools are only just fit for purpose and the costs that that imposes on us are hidden and absorbed personally.
4.7t is probably in reference to QE, which in part was used by the central Bank to purchase mortgage backed securities, the rest spent to supress bond yeilds. Banks ostensibly offloaded their poor performing mbs's onto the average citizen who earns and spends in USD. When the central Bank decides to invent trillions to support poorly managed debt obligations it is debasing the value of your earnings potential. The act should be vigourusly debated and the method by which the funds are dispursed should be scrutinized heavily.

>The problem wasn't really the bad debt.
No, it was a problem of bad debt, poorly managed securities specifically MBS lead to a Ponzi like situation that should have been allowed to wind down instead of propped up. Lenders should have bit the bullet and lessons should have been learned. The political fallout from the decision to put off the the inevitable are only starting to become manifest in current politics.

I live in Canada where atypical interest rates as a result of lockstep CB policy with the US has completely distorted our real estate market. The result is going to be a lost generation that lives at home for a decade longer than their parents. This is all the result of fiscal policy trying to hold up the remains of the 2008 crisis instead of raising the problem to ground and starting again with a more humbled outlook. The Piper will be paid, it's just a matter of when, and who will be paying.

Hey! I love your blog, it's too good. I read every post of your blog. <a href="https://surveyforcustomers.com/mycfavisit/">mycfavisit </a>
I notice that I have two modes of programming.
This is clearest with haskell.

For simple code I make type errors into runtime errors and let the compiler figure out type signatures. This emulates dynamic languages with a great linter pretty well.

For complex code I write rigid type signatures first and then play type tetris. This works best with dependently typed languages and is called type driven development. Idris can fill in large parts of the program with this - since type signatures are equivalent to propositions and programs to proofs this is basically proof search.
Taiwan isn’t a member of the UN and is officially recognized by only 16 countries as the most fear pissing off China.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_Taiwan

They lost their UN seat in 1971 and haven’t been able to regain it since.

With China’s influence especially in Africa and the Middle East growing there is less and less chance of Taiwan being recognized as an independent country without a global conflict or a massive political shift in China.

Mere sentences later he says that they would like to do a pilot in the US but regulatory constraints make it impossible.
A wizard then should have a spellbook, one filled with all sorts of spells written out for immediate use. Maintainable hacks if you will. Those are probably just scripts though I suppose?
I think I'd have more use for the opposite: a font that's 13% narrower, to stuff more words into a page limit. It's harder to make text more concise than more verbose!
It's not about "people" or "reality", it's about filling already fat copyright holders' bellies with more caviar, nothing more. The Wall has already been built, no need to be outraged now.
...which is subscription-based to do anything useful and hence hard to justify unless you really do a lot of 3D.
This sort of thing predates GitHub. Microsoft had the PowerToys for Windows -- it was a Microsoft software product for Windows, but it didn't undergo the same level of vetting as something that was part of Windows, and if you broke something using it, you were on your own.

It's not crazy for someone at Google to want to use Flutter on the desktop, to build something to scratch their own itch, and to release it while not wanting to commit to the same level of support that Google gives to mainline Flutter.

I've seen more tagalong cars in Europe than I have motorcycles, but usually very small ones (Nissan Micra etc). More common is bicycles - you are after all on holiday.
> Got to remember BART carries around 400,000 riders a day, 365 days a year.

Seems like the issue is lack of security/policing, not the number of passengers. There are plenty of subway networks with far greater traffic that don't have this problem to nearly the same extent.
Which is probably why on net ~1.5 million illegal immigrants left the US over the last decade

This is false. Pew made a similar claim, but it turns out their "inbound" tally counted only Mexican adults who were known to be illegal while the "outbound" number counted all foreign nationals of all ages that repatriated.

My solution is that we stop applying these frameworks thinking we can generalize what is fundamentally a very talent based process.

If one want to introduce a new framework you prove it you dont propose it, it has to be based on some skin in the game. Dons like IDEOs design thinking is a way to make money first and formost.

> IQ is NOT a measure of a thing that exists.

I don't understand your concept of something "existing" or not. Do you believe that a "speed" exist ? That a "center of gravity" exists ? That a "temperature" exist ? People who say "IQ is what IQ tests measure" sound to me like they could say "temperature is what thermometers measure". temperature does not "exist" it is molecules movements all the way down, yet it is a meaningful/useful concept. Same goes for IQ or "g factor".

Stardock has now changed the first sentence of their original announcement on Steam, originally it was like "PR and FF, who were _contracted by_ Accolade to create SC2...".

It seems that we are past the initial anger, because it now reads "PR and FF, the _designers on_ the classic DOS game...".

If you think the DMCA is an overreaction, just imagine that Stardock legally questions whether PR and FF are the creators of SC2. Really? That nullifies any kind of sympathy one might have had towards them.
To add to the answers already given, this is indeed a viable option to solve some problems, see e.g. the barrier method for linear programming. But then the constant 10^30 is gradually increased for numerical reasons.
Those are absolutely excellent arguments for why debt itself, as a mechanism, can be beneficial and useful. That isn't the questions. The question is how much debt is too much, and why, and what happens when the debt level becomes unsustainable.

Greece is an extreme example. They borrowed far more than they could ever pay back and wasted it. When borrowing is spent on things that don't pay back a return higher than the cost of the borrowing, and when that's done on a large scale with no other credible source of income to pay back the debt, both the borrower and the lender get burned. The problem is that you don't always know the return you're going to get on the investment, and you don't always know the full cost of the borrowing to fund it because interest rates can go up.
Seattle is taking 30 years or so to build a handful of miles of track.

There really isn't any "environmental impact" for construction within the city (the environment there is already destroyed). But that sure does provide fodder for endless delays and expense.

> 20MPH

Travel from Omaha to San Francisco was 4 days at the opening, including stops. The distance was 1,912 miles. So the average was indeed 20, but to achieve that average (including stops) it must have been going at least 40 on much of the route.

Quite a difference from the alternative, months of walking.

If you like, the first Boston subway was completed in 1897, it took 2 years, and it was all done with muscle, too.

The problem with spellbooks is one seen in media on the subject of wizardry, that the wizard spends a lot of time memorizing spells. This is why the most useful spells get turned into artifacts that the wizard does not have to always memorize to know how to cast correctly.

What is needed is an artifact like spellbook, that the wizard when faced with a situation could describe it to the spellbook and get back the correct spell or combination of spells to solve the situation. Attempts have been made to create such an artifact, but unfortunately the resulting spellbooks still take a long time to find the correct spell and when reading the spells you often find that there are missing ingredients or a complicated set of gestures that must be performed to make the spell work, and you have to read all about these gestures in turn to figure out which ones you really need.

Would love to read this - is there no way aside from paying for the content? (Can only read the abstract)
I don't see the relationship between text length and actual play time. Plays and movies aren't just people spewing lines non-stop. Text/playtime varies a lot between a Tarantino movie and something like Mad Max: Fury Road. It seems like a pointless metric.

And while I like courier in general, I thought typography experts disliked it because it's not as readable as proportional fonts. I'd expect readability to be important for screenplays too.

Besides, stuff like word count is easy to automate.

So to me it seems that if the industry indeed insists on everything being in courier, that's more likely to be a traditionalist remnant from the typewriter era rather than a rational decision. But I admit I don't know this industry at all.

If this is Bill Gates blog, I do wonder the following:

Like quite a few people I discovered aphantasia and the fact I had it simultaneously. This was 0nly in the last few years as articles on the topic appeared. Since then I have been analysing my experiences relative to what I have been told is normal. Art tutorials I find especially odd, because they analytically break things into components the way I would. If people can visualise, why don't they just draw what they see.

Thinking about that put me in mind of a curious possibility. What if no-one had a mind's eye and Aphantasia is simply the lack of a delusion of a mind's eye. Such tricks performed by the brain are well documented with regard to time, decision-making, optical illusions. Derren Brown exploits a lot of these for entertainment.

That leads to a philosophical notion of whether the delusion of having a sensation qualifies as a sensation itself. Would that make it the opposite of blindsight where people have the experience of being blind while being able to experimentally demonstrate they can see?
@grif-fin Thank you for your comments and feedbacks

- I got all pictures from free stock photo websites so far.

- We are trying to add description to all dishes. Also adding ingredients is on my plans.

- I will add feature to see best places to eat some food in next phase. It is coming soon.

- I will convert it to mobile app also but it is not priority
at the moment. I am expecting users to find us from Google actually.

----------------

- Monetization:

- I am planning to build an api and make a monthly subscription for it.

- Advertisement also an option.

Q: How come you went for cities/countries and not just country?

A: I will also suggest places to eat for specific foods in cities. So I build it in a way that I can link places to food. And also for some countries, there are differences between foods in cities. But for most of countries foods are same. This point is still in my mind. I believe for clear design it is good to separate

Rant:

Everyone who has put at least a little bit of thought into UI design knew from the beginning that flat design is bad.

But no, it is 2019 and we still have scrollbars and buttons that are barely visible. Just because Google and Microsoft unreasonably decided to do it that way and every other one blindely copies that (because how can a those big, big companies be possibly wrong?). Fuck accessibility, even though we serve billions of customers on a daily basis.
Regarding your very last point, there is uLisp for microcontrollers: http://www.ulisp.com/ Do an HN search for more references.
Sounds like reinventing the wheel and ending up with a square was not a great idea. Not a good sign for the tech industry when it starts going around in circles instead of advancing.
Sounds like a Jurassic Park reference (inside job / sabotage)

"Don't push buttons if you don't know what they do!"

That statement makes me a little sad, it's pretty much the exact opposite of the way I was brought up and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be where I am without the freedom of curiosity I was given at home. The general rule was if it's not going to kill me or maim me then I could have it.
Thanks, IntelliSense!

That questioning of creatorship has been going on for months, and even more blatantly.

In November of 2017, Stardock made an anniversary blog post downplaying Paul and Fred’s involvement as creators of Star Control 2. https://www.stardock.com/games/article/485810/star-control-i...

Under normal circumstances, that’s innocuous—nothing more than highlighting all the people involved in the making of a great game. But even then, Greg Johnson of Starflight fame, whom I suspect had heard some of the behind‐the‐scenes goings‐on personally from Paul and Fred at that point, gently stepped in to reaffirm Paul and Fred’s role as primary creators of both the original games and the franchise. https://forums.stardock.net/485810/star-control-ii-25th-anni...

Not even a month later, Stardock filed a lawsuit against Fred and Paul, containing such incredible allegations as this one:

> …Reiche and Ford have over the course of time and up to now have repeatedly held themselves out as the “creators” of Star Control I and Star Control II, especially in their marketing, advertising and promotion of the Ghosts of Precursors Game… However, Reiche or Ford’s advertising that they are the “Creators of Star Control” is false. As Reiche and Ford know, it was Accolade, not them that created Star Control I and Star Control II. …Any authorship that Reiche and Ford may have contributed to the Classic Star Control Games was limited, and it was instead a team of many other authors, including numerous artists, animators, musicians, designers and writers, among others, that collaborated together to develop creatives used in Star Control I and II.

>…Contrary to the common public understanding and what they have portrayed to the public, Reiche and Ford may not have created any of the artwork, animation or characters incorporated in the games, or otherwise substantially contributed to the authorship of Star Control I and Star Control II. Reiche and Ford’s advertising themselves as being the “creators” of the Classic Star Control Games is false and misleading, and has been made in an attempt to dishonestly benefit from the goodwill and reputation associated with the STAR CONTROL Mark to which they have never had rights.

All of a sudden, what might have been an innocent blog post has an alternate and much more self‐serving interpretation.
> click the buy button and wait and hope for the best.. my advice just do it!

Speaking from experience as a sw guy, the "hit buy and pray" approach should be preceded by as many desk-checks as are humanly possible. For example: Use the design verification features in your CAD program. Print the PCB onto paper, place all the components on it to check for component clearances and orientations (no-one would lay out a connector upside down, would they?)

I think I got that last idea from one of Robert Feranec's DFM tips, lots of good ideas there: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXvLToQzgzddPKq_txEXN...
Depth perception contours and borders are instantly recognizable by our visual system, even toddlers. Learning to read letters fast comes much later in life so i would say it's probably much more difficult to teach little children
I've tried to like Fusion 360, but the login screen the first time you boot it up turns me off. It's also slow as hell on a top of the line iMac, and that's with very small projects.

I like OpenSCAD a lot, but being productive there outside of very simple (squarish) designs is hard.

The power of good UI and how it enhances engagement
Typically when you buy a franchise you have the right to use characters and develop derivative stories. Acknowledging that Reiche and Ford own the IP for Star Control 1 & 2 probably just means Stardock don't expect royalties from those exact titles.

This is actually really common place and appears near identical to how 20th Century Fox owns rights to Star Wars Episode 4 but Disney own the franchise and can use the same characters and develop derivative products.
That's pretty interesting to hear. I've just ended a long week of frustration with fusion 360.

Fusion 360 doesn't have a concept of 'replace entity' like in solidworks, so, when you want to change the shapes in your sketches, they break parametric references downstream, and the entire thing becomes a huge, clunky mess. I swear, every time I make a minor tweak to my sketch, parametric references fail to update and the entire thing falls apart. The software doesn't feel very 'smart'.

Also, the sketch controls are super hard to use, clunky, etc. It's hard to make selections, hard to move objects. Ah! Maybe I'm missing something, I can't believe people are really able to create complex geometries with this software.

I since moved onto solidworks--it has it's issues, but I'm able to get it to do what I want it to do much more quickly and with much less headache. I am curious to know if others have experienced something similar or if I am missing something.
There could be something else at play in the call... they could have been scared that if a representative of Lexus admitted there was a problem with the design, they would be admitting liability.
Agreed, but google/ on GitHub just contains code that happens to be owned by Google, due to the authors being employees.
I've read it the same.
doesn't it seem to be more effective than a wall actually?
Plugging my own thing: It is not a lot, but I have been compiling a design checklist for electronics design since summer.

Right now it is a tool for myself and my work, which puts a priority on being comprehensive; but the licensing is liberal and I’m open to input.
