Save the 10 model limit. The recent addition of the tools to help with "bottom up" design provides a nicer workflow for a lot of cases, but would prevent you from having more than nine components in your assembly (the assembly being the 10th) which seems too little even for the smallest of hobbyist projects. It would be reasonable if there is an exception for models included in an assembly. Apparently that restriction is not coming until next year, so time will tell.
Thanks. I think this info should become part of the blog post IMHO
Damn, people are quick. I did a couple of searches, and all the good ones are taken already. Probably most by squatters.

How did your even find out about it? Do squatters have a newsletter on new domain sales or something?
This claims that YouTube recommendations are opaque, but often YouTube cites that viewers of a specific video like another. YouTube also tags content which might be extended to note related or contrasting content or to map how videos that share a tag relate.

These days this is gauged by the level of social media outrage, this is what brings 'problems' to the attention of decision-makers, and I suspect that this rule will mostly be used as a response to that unless the domain name itself is obviously disparaging.
A few months ago YouTube was flighting a feature I liked a lot. The homepage would group my interest into named categories "Cute dog videos", "Strangeloop", "Debussy", "PyData", "Algebraic Topology" and so on. I really liked that because I could choose which deep end to sink into. Not just that it would also serve as a reminder on what I had been interested in, but have become too distracted to remember.

They seem to have stopped this and now the recommendations featured on my homepage are all over the place.

I was going to say roughly the same thing.. Building bad foundations happens all the time and it seems less critical in a traditional house, but..

I know many houses that had incompetent foundation builders. The repair costs/complexity can be similar to the underground house even though the priority seems low in a traditional house. One of the houses was torn down due to the neglecting the problem. (It was a rental and no one cared about using the basement for the decade before it was inspected and condemned.)

In the underground case you really only have to get one thing right and it is just as stupid to get it wrong in the traditional case, but people are distracted and don't see it's priority.

Blender is mostly meshes, but it can already have other geometry types like NURBS. You can convert a nurbs object to a mesh, but the modeling process and data format is totally different. I'm imagining that the solid modeling system would be a separate mode type like that.

There is such a thing as a multi domain fault.

I mean, California is in the middle of burning down from a lighting complex at this moment. Suing mother nature isn't going to do much good if you want to put the blame on her for that fire.

As long as people live in the Wildland Urban Interface, and we live in a climate that's getting hotter and drier year over year, and we don't have defense in depth around our homes, houses are going to continue to burn and people will die from it.

At the end of the day we cannot stop the fires, they are a natural part of the landscape. The question is can we reduce the impact on humans? Some we cannot, the smoke will still affect us negatively. Some we can, a hard parameter around our house with no flammable bushes, and eves that protect against cinder build up that set houses on fire will help.
This is how it works in Sweden. I pay two separate bills each month, one for the amount of electricity I've used, and another for using the electrical infrastructure. We have a ton of options to choose from regarding who generates our electricity and seems to keep the competition healthy.

Im also wondering... There's been a lot of criticism of federal folks and their reaction to covid. But what's about the states? They still have pretty wide powers and should have intervened.

Isn't it within the power of individual states to stimulate manufacturing of masks.
Very hard. Terrifying to me as a professional developer. I can't keep up with all of the possible failure paths. The more of that I can foist off on somebody who does it full time, the better. Then I can focus on my application domain rather than the basic mechanics of keeping the thing up and secure.
As I point out in my sibling comment, you can google anonymously to prove that it's not personalized. In fact, you can do this with every google vs ddg query to prove it's not personalization that makes google superior. No need to guess.

Also, ddg's first link is programming related, it's just a worthless result (Elm's homepage).

You ask how someone/something could know that "elm list" is programming related, but I don't see why you think it's unfeasible for someone/something to come up with confidence levels for the various possibilities.

Let's say you were sufficiently omniscient to know about the Elm language, elm trees, the elm email client, Professor Elm from Pokemon, and the tiny town of Elm, Switzerland. What do you think is a better result for the query "elm list"? If you can form an opinion, why couldn't the world's most lucrative machine learning project form a similar one?

Sure, but I'd put money on the majority of people speeding doing so intentionally, and while determining whether lack of maintenance was an accident isn't trivial (and depends on the definition of 'intentional') even in the PG&E case here they did not specifically and knowingly leave a broken part on the line.
I've used it to write CLI tools for myself and found it to be great for medium to large tools. Small tools it's still much faster and easier to grab Ruby (assuming a quick bash script isn't appropriate).

As a PSA to the author- She stated in the sites comments that she wrote the article 10 years ago(2010-12ish) and that was the way she felt at the time it was written. She also acknowledges progress has been made since her home was built long ago and that some/most/all of the problems they have may now be solved. The impression I get from reading this is that:
1) the home was built by a franchisee that was cutting corners.
2) the marketing materials were believed without any additional research, but since the home was purchased in 1994 and this is early internet/AOL internet days at best.
3) They may have gone into it a bit naive.

Couple takeaways I have from this:
1) Building in the ground is hard, and doesnt just make the place magically efficient.
2) Be sure you arent stretching yourself financially to buy an 'innovative' home. Have the money or ability to fix the inevitable 'innovative' problems that crop up.
3) No home is maintenance free.
4) Seems to me that they need to scoop all the dirt off their home and do a full refurbishment/rebuild.

The commonly in informal speech used phrases "that's so gay" or "that person is gay" together with the recommendation of using it as subdomain led me to the clue that the intended use case is to "joke about" or "blame" people more than using it of a way to broadcast someones sexuality to the public

Unfortunately FreeCAD is kind of unusable (in the same way that KiCAD is), and OpenSCAD isn't an alternative at all.

The only decent FOSS parametric CAD software I've found is SolveSpace, but it is quite limited, e.g. it doesn't even have a bevel tool, and there's no CAM. It's pretty much the Notepad of CAD.

CAD is just one of those things that is too complicated and niche for FOSS to do well.

That is part of it, the other part is the homes of paradise did not take 'best practices' into account for their homes. (or town, that one narrow road out seems like a deadly bottleneck) There were many news articles at the time talking about how homeowners couldn't prune back the woods far enough from their house, couldn't use less flammable materials in their home construction, etc.
PG&E isn't in the business of setting fires, and shouldn't be. It's CalFire's job to manage forest fires, including setting controlled burns.
No kidding. The quality of the discussion on this thread is disappointingly low.
One of these questions is not like the others
It's both for me. It locks on to a few categories or channels and occasionally, almost randomly decides to start showing some other category or channel based entirely upon a single view.

This is not the same algorithm that they've always used. It began changing somewhere around 3 or 4 years ago and it's completely different now. Honestly, I think they've intentionally broken it. I used to derive a lot of enjoyment from going on an algorithm enhanced "wikiwalk" of YouTube content, discovering many interesting and bizarre videos. It's impossible to do that now, you just wind up stuck on a channel or going around in circles.

To put it plainly, I think YouTube has decided to bury all of the fringe and weird one off content in favour of mainstream channels because they can't monetize the former. Good job Google, you killed another golden goose.

Littering is a problem, for sure, but not the same one.

These masks are disposable. They should be disposed of properly, but throwing them away isn't the cause of supply problems.
Are you suggesting that people should be wearing the same mask for more days? The masks are for one-time use.
> even in the PG&E case here they did not specifically and knowingly leave a broken part on the line.

They specifically and knowingly failed to maintain the lines, eliminating training for the people who were supposed to inspect the lines, and took active steps to conceal those facts; the lack of maintenance was a deliberate choice, and, also, they specifically and knowingly left many broken parts on the line for extended periods of time, which was extensively documented in the investigative document produced from the investigation that led to their manslaughter charges.
‘Can’t even’ review: The burnout generation
Here are some other sources supporting the topics discussed at the day 11, of which I wasn't aware until reading the report:

https://www.salon.com/2010/11/29/wikileaks_germany_el_masri/

"A top U.S. diplomat strongly warned German counterparts against issuing arrest warrants for CIA agents who were involved in the kidnapping of a German citizen, who was brought to Afghanistan and tortured before officials concluded that they had the wrong man."

From the diplomatic cable, published by Wikileaks, we can see that the US is actually threatening Germany while at the same time writing:

"our intention was not to threaten Germany, but rather to urge that the German Government weigh carefully at every step of the way the implications for relations with the U.S."

To paraphrase James Mickens, it seems if the USA threatens your country, "they’re going to hold a press conference and say
“It wasn’t us” as they wear t-shirts that say “IT WAS DEFINITELY US.”"

After seeing the posts each day trying simply to discredit the author of the reports instead of claiming that there's any inaccuracy in what he reports, everybody should consider that maybe there are some people who would rather that nobody reads about all the topics brought up there.

And there are many very interesting topics indeed. I advise anybody taking the time and going through the previous days too. The author of the report claims that it is officially for him not allowed to post the links to the written statements of the witnesses of the defense.

Reading his reports is insightful, and I'm not aware of anybody doing more thorough reporting now.

This case of breaking metal on an open hook reminds me very much of a warning on a climbing carabiner: make sure it is clipped fully and the gate is shut, otherwise the nose might break off.

I am sure someone checked the math etc, but an open hook with decreasing diameter towards the tip seems an odd design choice for a metal-on-metal arrangement that is being pulled hard by winds.

That is not to say that any system keeps on going forever without proper maintenance...

And this makes think if this could be designed so that inspection is easy and a replacement could be scheduled before the breaking point is reached. Maybe something like the marks in car tire treads that show how much wear is acceptable before needing to replace the tire without needing any equipment.
This article is kind of comical, but I get his point. Even though I think it's not really taking into account the whole picture. Consider as a fact that the internet is broken, in regards to free speech. How many bot/fake accounts are created that spam toxic messages and influence culture? People with the most followers or likes getting to the top of the algorithms list so they exploit the algorithm. Most of the people are abusing the idea of "free speech" as anonymous trolls or maybe not even human at all or from the same country. It's a serious problem. I don't think people would say half the things they do on the internet if it were connected to their identity. Something isn't right here...
Those hobbyists know how to build tools they want; that translates well into server related stuff.

Microsoft knows how to build tools that untechnical people can use. They are the best at this; that's why they have the desktop market. If Microsoft can make user centric tools that have at their backend Linux tech, then they will have the best of both worlds.

Any idiot can click around Excel or Active Directory and get something good enough. That's what Microsoft is good at facilitating. If Microsoft can make the rest of the Linux stack as easy to use as visual studio code, then why should a random busy sysadmin or webdev bother with buggy Ubuntu? Windows 10 will have everything they need, with more convenience.

Microsoft isn't backed into a corner: you're resting on your laurels. They're about to Embrace everything about Linux that's awesome. Get ready for what comes after.

To be fair, first you would have build out a several hundred billion dollar state wide electrical grid, while allowing it to degrade in various ways over approximately a century.

I’m not sure a single person at any one time has ever knowingly caused this much damage through negligence. I mean ever in human history. Failures this large due to negligence tend to be systemic. But it would be a very interesting to hear an example.
