Ah, the good old days when I could just plug my IM services into one desktop app. I miss those days very much.

Now I use three Electron apps on a typical work day.
Easiest way I've found is:

- Create a square via the CreateSquare[0] icon

- Put the lines as construction line

- Constrain the holes to the corners of the square.

- Add an angle constraint on one side of the square as you need.

It's easier than constraining your holes on a rectangle on which you have to replace the horizontal and vertical constrains afterwards. And you get to keep all those parametric variables that make changing something afterwards so easy.

-how do you make assemblies out of parts (sugar on top explosion function)
- derive a technical drawing from the 3D model I could sent to the milling shop

Point 2 is a dealbraker.

I couldnt do it. Maybe it is me. Maybe I didnt find the right documentation, maybe I didnt understand what I am looking for.

What makes you think the natural selection/evolution is more likely?

Of course at the scale of China, having a virus outbreak due to a natural virus mutation is not a rare event. According to Wikipedia, there have been 3 virus outbreaks in "wet markets" in the last 20 years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_market). That makes about 1 outbreak in 7 years.

Now China is big! There are 108 towns with more than 1m population (https://all-populations.com/en/cn/list-of-cities-in-china-by...). What is the probability for an outbreak to occur in a given city? Again that is going to be a very rough estimate. Let's say there are 100 "wet markets", about one per city >1m. That make the probability for a natural virus outbreak in a given "wet market" to be 1 in 700 years.

Now if you want to argue what is the most likely event:

- a natural outbreak in Wuhan: probability is about 1 in 700 years

- a virus leak from the Wuhan BSL4 lab. Note the Wuhan's lab is the ONLY BSL4 lab in China.

Have you any kind of information that makes you believe the probability for a virus leak to be significantly LESS than 1 in 700 years?
For simple parts for someone willing to use online tools TinkerCad has a much easier learning curve and is far less buggy.

Unless you need parametric design, want a GUI, and won't use closed source, FreeCAD is not a good choice.

Just as a sort of thought about this, if the entire web moved to brotli over gzip, or if we introduced an even better compression algorithm that was widely distributed across the internet, what would that impact me? A 5% reduction in CPU usage for every computer loading every page? I'd be curious to hear what that would actually amount to, power-wise.

Hey Show HN!

We’d love some feedback on remoty which helps remote teams reach their full potential with powerful time-tracking and progress update workflow in Slack.

=> What does it do?

1.Boosts your team coordination using intuitive time tracking commands.

2.Helps you save hours in meetings by organizing async daily stand-up meetings.

3.Helps you track billable hours, generate scrum logs and export CSV timesheets of your team.

=> Why’d we built it?

We devised a workflow in our company to create an essence of working in the same office by increasing visibility over availability and statuses of team members. This workflow had 2 basic steps

1. Announce your check-in/check-out/breaks followed by two or three words to give context in a dedicated channel.

2. Turn in your standup notes (even if we already had a team standup call) while checking in or out so as to maintain records of standup notes.

We saw a real change in our team’s coordination and productivity over the period of next few weeks. We then started to think on the lines of automation so that the data that was being collected could be put to good use as well. This led to us to build remoty!

As of now we have approximately 100 users who actively use our product. All of them are following the process that we follow in our company. So far we haven't been able to pin point the EXACT user persona of remoty. We have pure technical teams, marketing/insurance teams and even research labs of universities paying for the product.

Some of our users/potential users that I talked to are requesting for a shift/leave management feature while others are looking for a more comprehensive in-slack task management solution. Would really appreciate feedback from you all on how we can improve & grow remoty!

Please headout to [https://remoty.dev] to give remoty a shot!
From guidelines:

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

If it's not on topic (interesting) or if it's off topic (politics) feel free to flag it. Also if it has things like clickbait or self-promotion.

I get your point and I agree to some extend -- a single png doesn't remove much carbon. But it's impossible to figure out where the break even point lies. It would be irresponsible to never optimize for size or cpu usage.
Where would you draw the line?
Yeah no estimate is available for this as of now.

But developers continue to write inefficient code even if other consequences are obvious:

* If using cloud, often inefficient software will lead to higher expenses than developer time.

* On mobile devices battery life is important

* On mobile networks bundle sizes matter

I doubt it's career sandwich makers -- people may currently qualify through continuation but are probably doing the job as a short term (eg working through Uni). When they finish the next tranche of workers won't have established residency and so won't qualify for visas.

That aside, if someone is here under freedom of movement that doesn't mean they qualify for a work visa, surely? No low-skill jobs would meet the income threshold needed to get a visa?
Many times over? I doubt it, if you are talking about nuclear weapons.

There's no way we could punch through all the ice at the poles to get any microscopic life that might live under there, and in a standard nuclear war nothing would touch them anyway. Nuclear winter (if that's still thought to happen in a likely scenario) might not even get all the surface life.

> Scripts should not be able to crash the system, run indefinitely, or corrupt other parts of the system. To ensure that, Lunatik uses the Lua VM facilities for sandboxing the scripts so that they run in a safe execution environment [...] the number of instructions can be limited, so that infinite loops are not possible.

Lua's sandbox should be able to prevent scripts from crashing or corrupting the system, but I'd be surprised if it could prevent a script from running indefinitely. In particular, limiting the number of Lua bytecode instructions is insufficient - even a single call to `string.find` can lock up the CPU [0].

> They are using the standard Lua, rather than the LuaJIT fork, Neto said, in answer to another question.

Using LuaJIT would make sandboxing significantly more difficult, because it's much more complex than regular Lua and hence more likely to have exploitable bugs. This is the reason that game consoles disallow JIT-compilation - and hence games tend to use regular Lua rather than LuaJIT.

Very happy with Porkbun ( https://porkbun.com/ ). Newer registrar, but their console is clean, nice looking, and it's easy to update settings.
I don’t know that this level of defeatism is justified. Quitting does help.

Why does quitting help?

Consider IBM. Their revenue is about 20% of its peak. It used to be seen as a monopoly power. Now we barely think about them.

I think that IBM has made itself an unattractive place for employees where it used to be seen as an extremely prestigious place to work. And I think poor quality employees, along with average to mediocre management has squandered an incredible, dominant company over the past 20 years.

Facebook will decline if all the most desirable employees just quit. It’s basically just math - those who know the most, interview best, and have the most accomplishments will be able to leave the fastest. Facebook will be left with the D team and they’ll get taken to the cleaners by competitors (as they already are with TikTok - and what’s the average age of the most engaged users of Facebook again?)

Anyway, the point is, you quitting hits a company in precisely the right place - their wallet. Employee turnover is tracked and costs companies money. Higher turnover does bring about changes.
> Perhaps I misunderstand you here. Let me instead ask a different question: Why do you believe that "black people have a different perspective than white people" is a premise shared with racists?

You've misunderstood me. My concern is that a premise held by diversity advocates ('people of different races have different perspectives') could be used justify racist acts (e.g. not hiring a person from a given background). Assuming that people who want to justify racist acts could be referred to as racists, this would mean that diversity activists share a premise with racists - which would be a concern for me. Nowhere in there is a claim that certain people will undertake racist acts 100% of the time.

> Usually, at least from what I've seen, racism is rooted in a belief that the other group is lesser in some way

If we are suggesting that different races have different perspectives, then this becomes an easy belief to support. Presumably perspectives differ in some ways which can make some more valuable than others in some contexts.

> I'm not suggesting that there is one black perspective on things, much as there isn't one white perspective on things, that would be reductive

You may not be suggesting this, but it often seems to be put this way, including by the comment I replied to, which stated that:

> every single member of the marginalized group has some life experience that no member of the majority/powerful group has. So although it's a prejudice, it's a correct one

If 'perspective' here is understood as the thing arising from the single life experience shared by a social group, then it seems like a natural reading to see it as a single thing. But part of the problem with this discussion is that the claim that 'people of x race have a different perspective' is assumed rather than argued for. I am not at all clear on what is shared by black people from all walks of life all over the world and not shared by white people from all walks of life all over the world (who have their own version of it) - and how that thing is relevant to hiring an intern at BigCorp so it would be nice to see the idea expounded on a little more.

> Can a white child and a black child come out of a class on slavery with the same perspective on it?

Possibly not, but would two white children or two black children come out of it with the same perspective on it? What prior judgements can we make on those individual's perspectives based on their race? It may be the case that the white children would feel tremendous empathy with their fellow man and campaign vigorously for reparations. Similarly, the black children might come out of it thinking (like another prominant black man) that 300 years of slavery sounds like a choice. In my view, there is very little we can say in advance about the views of those children based on their race, and we should wait until we have the child in front of us so we can ask them about their perspective. And when that child is older, and applying for a job at BigCorp, we should extend them the same courtesy.
Once upon a time Google cared a lot about performance of client facing application.
So does everyone else - the way you word things, it reads like you feel like you're entitled to "press coverage" or "userbase" and just expecting it to exist or something you're supposed to get. Arguably it's even worse that you're making multiple HN accounts for spamming it.

GNOME's task switcher has two modes, the one you're using switches between applications. Alt+(the key above tab) switches between windows within an application.

The hamburger menu keeps the applications looking clean, if there's anything I use that frequently I'll just use the keyboard shortcut.

It's improving every release, but if you want traditional, I'd choose XFCE.
Why wouldn’t it be simpler to code? When you do server side rendering with HTML forms you reduce complexity by having more pages.

It is somewhat more complex to handle more pages in your code base, but each page is short and simple.
That is very interesting approach! I’ve never worked on a project that doesn’t use AR relationships e.g has_many...

> Investigation of a "typed Lua" for compilation is something on the roadmap. That is the approach that the main Lua project is taking to compete with LuaJIT on performance.

I haven't heard anything about an official "typed Lua". Is there information about it somewhere?
Someone's addressed the "paste" part so I'll address the rest: the vast majority of people are not going to want to click on a link to a short post in the middle of an HN discussion. The content belongs here, not behind a link, and mentioning that it's a copy of what the user has said elsewhere is a courtesy to us.
Nice. There's also a project called FEMU, which is an ESP32 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth board that fits in a USB port: https://hackaday.io/project/167005-femu-an-esp32-wi-fiblueto...
Just an idea: if we want to have an impact we should know what are the actual numbers, what is actually consuming energy. That could maybe be crowd sourced. Let’s say someone create a browser extension that does some voluntary analytics, such as counting requests, images and their size, video, size of scripts and styles. All of this gathered somewhere anonymously.

If it’s done by a trustworthy group and people start using it, we could have good information that could be used to understand what are sources of energy consumption over time from the point of view of users.

Again, that’s just an idea I got reading the comments here. And I know people here will dismiss it because of privacy concerns (that I mostly share).
For every story like this, I believe there are many more in which the student simply writes their own implementation due to not invented here syndrome or engineering as a form of procrastination.
The food trucks thing makes sense. I've also spoken to some people who run that type of business, and they probably have the best outcome of all the food businesses.

That makes sense. Out here in the villages, having the trucks visit is mutually beneficial, too. They provide a diversity of takeaway options that wouldn’t otherwise exist in the smaller communities. We provide lots of small markets who are generally welcoming when they’re coming to visit, and because they move from day to day, they can be successful with a smaller menu that makes sense to offer from the truck. Everybody wins.

I'm not sure it will be so easy for Pret/etc to move out to the suburbs. Name recognition is all they bring, nobody thinks a Pret sandwich is particularly good.

I doubt it will be businesses like Pret that come out well from the change in lifestyle, assuming it does happen as we’re imagining here. The brand represents a safe bet when you’re visiting somewhere unfamiliar, and that probably has a lot of value. But if many of us are staying closer to home, we’ll probably get to know our local places pretty quickly anyway, and then that name recognition for the big brands and their franchises just isn’t that important any more. As you say, the likes of Pret might be worse off, but the rest of us will probably be better off.
There was this item on HN recently. :)

On top of what the article recommends her is my personal pet peeve.

STOP using gazillions of nested DIVs only to achieve a single button. I know this is the result of frameworks but maybe, just maybe, somebody someday will start making a clean layout framework that uses TABLE instead of DIV. It's sooooo f*ing much faster.
If you're a developer have a look at openscad: you can "program" your model. if you need fancy features like fillets however, that's rather difficult in openscad.

Fusion360 used to be free but that appears to be ending, also cloud-based lock-in(files are on server).

freecad used to be quite buggy, but latest versions are quite workable.

I mself started with one or 2 tutorials in fusion 360 (they appear to be more clear to me compared to the freecad tutorials, and concepts are the same). Then switched to freecad, and this seems to work fine.

The parametric sketching (although a simple concept) took for me the most time to really grasp and understand the significance.
Man the last company I worked at had bugs that had been updates going back over 30 years. Kinda surreal looking at bugs that are older than you are.
OpenSCAD:

* You write a script that calls the functions to build the geometry. (Similar to LaTeX vs. Wordprocessor)

* The geometry is defined as a mesh. (Similar to Blender 3D for modeling.)

FreeCAD:

* While it can also handle meshes, the geometry it actually uses a geometric modeling kernel that knows spheres, cylinders, bent surfaces. For 3D printing you would convert it to a mesh when exporting to an STL. (This is a bit like vector vs. pixel graphics.)

* While you can do everything with a script (and sometimes that's more easy) it provides a classical CAD interface where you point and click with your mouse.

* There's a ton of additional functionality via plugins available such as FEM simulation, Architecture, CAM, ...
