As it hasn't been mentioned yet, I use namesilo.com.

What originally drew me to their service was 2FA, no additional services bullshit (i.e. I'm never going to buy "web hosting" from a domain registrar, I don't want the current-customer-spam they all use to cross-sell) and decent prices.

They've recently started selling "web hosting" but so far it hasn't really been pushed, and their focus seems to be very much on domains still.
> it must be an enormous undertaking to build the production facility

It's impossible for any kind of startup to build a modern fab because of the billions in capital needed, and the risk of never getting a working process (ask Intel about how hard that is.)

An established company could probably get the DOD or state handouts to finance most of it, but you still have the risky fab process right, which is chemical-based.

And even if you could, you'd need a reason to build a fab, which becomes obsolete the minute it's online.
+1, I've been a happy user for a few years now
Yeah, at the time they got a lot of bad press for their abysmal support responses. Things like saying that their backup solution was not a backup solution, blaming the customer, etc etc.

Saying that people should have geographically diversified backups is like saying you should always read the T&Cs of every website you interact with. Yes, you definitely should. But many people would rather just trust the brand, and a trust broken is not easily fixed.

And understandably, that broken trust has a knock-on effect for other services in the same brand.
I don't know really. Cloudflare is notoriously in conflict with different archive sites and now this announcement makes that sound not too credible.

I think we will see selective removal of certain content.
In most places and industries other than IT employees do their work and get paid. IT is the only industry where they seem like they are activists first and then employees later. I doubt they would be able to do this sort of a thing in for example an insurance company or a petroleum company.

I probably think its a mix of scarcity of talent and the political leaning of silicon valley. Either ways, looks like people hired to do something else are calling the shots and people that are supposed to make decisions are getting walked all over. Any other industry would put these activists in place and be told to focus on doing work or quit and get into politics.
Frecad has come a LONG way since I started using it in 2016, and I encourage those who had a hard time with it a few years back to give it another try. Also - make sure you are getting a recent version, some distros have a tendency to ship a horendously outdated version. The current stable version is 18.4, there should be 19.0 release soon with a ton of improvements, but it is not quite there yet.
Dynadot has been my preference for some time. I migrated everything from Godaddy a few years ago. It offers Who Is privacy as standard and don't spam me every day.

> Your solution forces you to rewrite Point2D, which therefore creates a change in ApplicationFoo.

I don’t see how this is the case. You don’t change Point2D at all, you simply add a second type Point3D. ApplicationFoo can happily continue to use Point2D from your library while you use Point3D.

I think the example of Point2D and Point3D is not very well chosen. Your proposed solution of Point3D = { xy : Point2D, z : Float } is also leads to lots of duplication in the sense that (for example) to add two of these points you would have to do

{ xy = add2D(xy1, xy2), z = z1 + z2 }

where the computation of `z` is a copy of the computations of `x` and `y` in Point2D. So should you detect an error in Point2D you might still have to manually port it to Point3D.

For more complicated operations on points, the maths is mostly completely different in 2D and 3D (the same concepts might not even make sense, especially if you don’t generalize to n dimension right away), so sharing of code between the two points seems difficult.

The main problem with this solution, I think, is that you picked one specific projection from 3D space to 2D space. It might line up with a projection that is relevant to your domain but it probably won’t. So if you use inheritance and call a function requiring a Point2D with one of your Point3D’s you secretly project the point to the xy-plane which seems like something that should be explicit in the code.
Gandi's systems are incapable of handling a legal name change. You have to create a brand new account, individually transfer ownership of every single domain to the new account one by one, and then manually update all four contacts for each domain one at a time. It actually would have been faster and easier for me to transfer to a new registrar.

Looks pretty nice, but not fully opensource yet.

You might find this a bit dismissive/cynical but i wonder whether that early phase can be explained also.

There's two relevant strategies to an audience/market here: "open source" (/esteem/reputation) and "taste-maker"/brand/distributor.

The free-to-read reputation-led strategy does not earn you anything in the early phase -- so you have to have a job elsewhere. But you build esteem/reputation more easily: more readers. If you do that well, you reap the rewards later by by-passing the taste-maker channels.

This requires early-career funding from elsewhere. If you cannot get that funding you need to rely on distributors to earn anything at all.

/Therefore/ I wonder whether this reputation-led anti-tastemaker ethos really is just selecting for wealth (of one kind or another).

If so, yes Cory isn't a mere opportunist, sure. But his position seems to presuppose early-career privileges others do not have: in this sense he was never a "budding author" as I meantt it.

My point was that as a person starting out /and relying on distributors for income/ you cannot really have this view.
I wonder what the economic impact of doing that would be.
I suspect the whole reason this discussion is happening is because AutoDesk just announced Fusion360 is becoming crippleware at the end of the month.

(If you haven't seen that, and you have projects in F360 formats you're assuming you'll be able to export - you might want to go export them all into some other format now, while you still can...)

Entities aren’t coupled because they exist as a concept one level higher. Similarly in the GameObject and MonoBehavior model from Unity the GameObject isn’t much more concrete than an ID since it’s really just a container.

The trouble ECS can get into is where you want a set of components to relate to an Entity but don’t want one or more of the Systems that update that set to run. You end up with more complex System definitions that need to exclude Entities based on extra Component criteria. It gets quite messy to work out looking at the Components that make up an Entity what Systems will run on it.
I lived there. I ate at Pret often enough because they were frequently close by. Every one of those was worse than a Tesco Meal Deal. Disaster of a chain.
If you provide catering services to ICE maybe you'd have people getting political about who's eating your food. If you're producing water and only allowing hate groups to consume it, sure maybe you'll have this happen, but otherwise these examples are strawmen.

Everything has some political issue around it, but Facebook has politics baked into it because it's using political issues as a means of making money. They sell advertising to politicials, when they know the ads are lies. Their platform is filled with fake accounts pushing genocidal agendas from dictators, and in many cases facebook is sweeping it under the rug.

The way their platform is built is setup to manipulate people, and that platform is being used at scale to do so in ways facebook knows is fucking up the world. Its very existence is political at this point.
Not sure if they still are, but for a while they were shipping Apple TV's with Apple CPUs which had half the number of working cores, but they were running it with higher thermal limits.
Well that would be an extremely unpleasant attempt at putting words in somebody's mouth that makes me wonder whether you are actually engaging honestly here.
The question of you asked and which I answered was what if we take one fuel pellet and disperse it.

I never said Chernobyl wasn't bad (heck, I called it a disaster for a reason!). But that was tons of spent fuel (rather than the few grams being contained in one fuel pellet) being blown out of the reactor building due to the steam explosion, or going up in smoke during the subsequent fires, and even that was far from the end of the world.

In this case, I guess marketing takes pains, because one of the main ideas of this fuel type is to make them even safer, even during severe accident scenarios. Is it absolutely fool proof? Of course not; you shouldn't grind up the spent fuel and inhale the dust, for instance.
The benefit of power to gas is that most countries already have an existing system that can both store and burn it. The efficiency is low but the necessary infrastructure investments are also incredibly low compared to building battery based energy storage. It is also an unavoidable step if you want to invest into carbon capture in the future. Excess methane can be exported. Suddenly even a resource poor nation like Germany could become an energy exporter.

When you consider that renewable share in % per day in Germany follows a normal distribution then you realize that there are only a few days that actually need to utilize hydrogen or methane to generate power.
This is somewhat why I collect computers, because one day, you can't buy a general purpose machine anymore.. I just hope when that happens, mine will be top of the line and solid enough to last.

Though, is this not tinfoil hat territory? Won't the fact that _some_ people _want_ general purpose computer, mean that they will always exist? Even if the established manufacturers decide to stop production, won't someone else start a production ?
> we should really be spending some effort in eliminating the need to torture other animals

Meaning what? The alternatives are to experiment on humans, to use simulations, or to not do research at all. Experimenting on humans is out for obvious reasons. Work is presumably already being done on simulation. Until they're a practical alternative, I don't see an ethical problem using animal testing when it's a disease as serious as Parkinson's.
What is this hunk of bullshit
Yes, as someone who lives in ex-USSR, I agree.
I always use the French company OVH (https://www.ovh.com/fr/domaines/). It's very reliable.
They have a lot of extensions, including the ".SE" that you want, and they offer 10 Mo to host your own mini site and an e-mail account of 5 Go with every domain.

PoE is a great game, but this post just seems like an ad for RMT services, which are very not allowed in PoE and will get you very banned.

I think there's so much that can be done with web design to make browsing the web more energy efficient, but in many cases users don't want or need a website – they just want some key data.

> "People just want to access content quickly, without distraction, without friction, and without it using a tonne of data."

Absolutely, most new websites for small businesses are 90% identical bloated single page scrolling Wordpress sites. When we visit those sites we're often looking for contact info, opening hours, menus, or maybe links to social media so we can interact with the company. So really we want ~100 bytes of data (e.g. address / socials / telephone / opening hours) but we have to download 5mb+

A small team and I have been working on an alternative to the web for structured data. It's a DNS-based protocol that domain / email owners can use to provide data direct to users:

https://www.num.uk
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24354559
I might be cynical, but that change would work only with the assumption that what is done on the page remains constant. What I guess would happen is that it would do 5% more useless operations. The limiting factor here is user's tolerance for bullshit, not some predefined functionality.

FreeCAD is truly impressive and wonderful software, but yeh compared to commercial solutions it's lacking the same degree of polish (and that's not a criticsm, considering the price-points!).

Both Dad and I use it at home for our 3D printing modelling, however at work I get to use SolidWorks and previously have used NX. Compared to them, I think the most common pinch point for me is how segmented sketches vs extrusions are. In Solidworks, you literally click a surface (plane, surface face of parametric solid, etc.) and just draw. Then you grab it and pull it out. It automagically does all the line constraints, etc. and there's not quite the same degree of separation as FreeCAD requires, where I have to make a dedicated sketch in one area, then switch to the other area to do the extrusion of it. Indeed, this sort of UI polish seems to be where most of my issues lie, rather than specific features missing.

I get the suspicion that the people working on FreeCAD are probably the ones who really enjoy writing an elegant parametric modelling program, so they're all about the engine and the UX becomes a little bit of an afterthought. That's not to criticise them, but rather highlight that a commerical entity is able to pay money to get all of those 'less sexy' jobs completed to a high quality. It's a timely reminder to me that there's a requirement for all types in a community project, including people who aren't the flashy wunderkind producing the sexy engineered solutions - you just as much need the person who puts in the hard and thankless work making all the documentation neat, logical and consistent.

Nevertheless, I don't think I'll be paying for a SolidWorks licence at home anytime soon, so I'm really appreciative of everything that the FreeCAD team has done.

edit: To be clear, if you're wanting to learn CAD then FreeCAD is an admirable choice and will teach you well. Indeed, some of the extra steps it requires is probably good from a learning perspective, because it makes you think through the process more completely and logically. In that sense, the handholding and coddling of some of the more sophisticated commercial packages can be detrimental, because you don't really learn how every part goes together specifically as you're developing your model.

I definitely don't mean any of my post to come across as criticism meant to deter anyone from trying FreeCAD. I was more trying to draw out the broader point that all too often, volunteer projects suffer from someone not doing 'the boring job', because using FreeCAD vs. commerical packages reminded me of that insight.
I guess you never saw the superbowl ads of years past.
Distributed workflow is still plenty useful, but the master copy being hosted by GitHub doesn't really affect it all that much. The real benefit was the ability to clone a repo and just start working on it locally - with commit history, branches etc - and then tidying it up and merging it back upstream when possible and convenient.

Are people forgetting what life was like back in SVN days, when not having a connection to the server meant not being able to do many operations?
As for Coverity, we are considering it, and afaik Alex has a license for PVS-Studio.
I think your workflow is what I will end up doing. I am usually making parts that have precise dimensions which Blender doesn't facilitate well, but I also want them to look interesting which is where Blender gets fairly intuitive.
Dude, friendly advice, listen to Infowars all you want, don't take them seriously, its bad for your mental health.
Even more important than FreeCAD itself is the geometric modeling kernel. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_modeling_kernel)

FreeCAD like some other CAD software uses Open CASCADE. As far as I can see, this kernel is the best available but still a bit rough and unstable in many areas. (Operations like chamfering often lead to a segfault when it doesn't like your geometry.) The main problem seems to be a lack of manpower since development of such a software is a massive effort and takes decades of work of highly skilled mathematicians/engineers/programmers. So far, FreeCAD has made a lot of functionality easily accessible but often it is also held back by bugs in the modeling kernel that can't be fixed any time soon.

If we could boost the development of high quality geometric modeling kernels, we could provide an essential building block to many software projects that currently are just not happening because there is no feasible way to get them started.
I don't like Namecheap because they really rip you off when the time comes for annual renewal. Much more expensive than others to the point where if you are certain that you will need the domain for longer than a year it is better to go elsewhere.

Here is how you can test it (using .io or .me domains): Search for domain on Namecheap, they usually have good prices for the 1st year. Add it to cart and then change it to 3 years and watch the price zoom up, not to 3x but more like 6-8x in cost. Now go to a different registrar and do the same. In my experience for 3 years Namecheap are always more expensive.

They don't support buying new domains right? You need to buy elsewhere and transfer to CloudFlare.

Plus, their TLD coverage isn't great.
Gandi is made for you if :
- you need several (internal or external) users to have rights on your domains
- you need to control your domains with an API
- you need to be able to register domains for any customer or partner

If you have many domains, that you need to handle manually, any operation on all domain will take time, as it would likely take time with any other registrar.
Been using them for 5+ years now.
Both as reseller and private.
I can attest to them being very good. Pricing is real good, but does depend on your volume. At some point it becomes interesting to get a subscription for which you get most domains at cost-price.
Their service is indeed outstanding, often sameday reply on mail with actual solutions.

I wouldn't call them small though, they are in the top 50 domain registrars in the world, and I guess the biggest in NL.
FreeCAD 0.18 (releasead March 2019) supports such constraints. There are now many "Map Modes" for a sketch besides just "map to face" (the default, and in previous versions the only one).
Unfortunately there is not really much intuitive UI available to start that workflow. You have to make the sketch with some/no mapping. And then in the Property editor for "Map Mode" click ... - from that point on there is a pretty nice dialog for chosing the modes etc.

In your case one can for example use use the NormalToEdge map mode, specify the degrees of Roll, and then use a Pocket operation on the sketch to make the holes at that angle.

Well, you also have to consider that many gas plants emit less CO2 than coal plats. You're going to need them either way because it's the fastest way to reduce the CO2 footprint of your nation's electricity mix.
Actually it's completely plausible to skip on the surface of it. Bit easier to hit sideways, yes.
Indeed, FORTRAN has traditionally been used for vector and matrix math and NumPY adds the equivalent functionality to Python. The simple linear algebra abstractions for manipulating these structures are fundamental to each of the popular data science platforms.

MATLAB was created as an interface to LINPACK/EISPACK without having to learn FORTRAN. The importance of this comment is the emphasis on the core fundamentals shared by all the data science platforms rather than the different tradeoffs inherent in each ecosystem.
Namecheap is expensive when you go to renew. I switched all my domains to Porkbun - cheaper, and a cleaner/simpler UI.

> I don't see an ethical problem

That "I" is the key. Different people have different standards. Mengele had no qualms about using experiments on humans as long as they were Jewish. Many find that troubling, some not at all and find it quite justified when there are under-studied diseases that threaten a superior race.

The crux of your argument is that humans are a superior species and entitled to such luxuries because it can appropriate them.

Would some choose to die/suffer rather than benefit from such experiments -- yes absolutely. Would some choose to resign than layoff reports for cost cutting -- yes absolutely. Would some grab tax funded benefits even when they have protested boisterously against such schemes all their life -- yes absolutely.
