I just replied this elsewhere today (the thread about Fusion 360), but this tutorial was extremely eye-opening to me and got me started a year or so ago for part design, which is probably what most folks are looking to do:

After that and a couple weeks of playing, I upped my skills with a "household thing a day" monthlong challenge:

From there, you can export to STL for printing.

I've recently gotten into Blender for taking STL exports and adding lighting, materials, and animations. I started with it with this bonkers good free (for email) video series:

There is an incredible amount of outstanding stuff out there, often for free. My advice is to find something that resonates with you and run with it.
The thorium fuel cycle produces about the same amount of waste as the equivalent U-Pu cycle. Both are breeding cycles requiring reprocessing. There is nothing magical in Th that gets rid of the waste.

The Th cycle can't really be compared to the once-through enriched uranium cycle, as Th doesn't contain any fissile isotope by itself. It requires breeding and reprocessing.

Bitbucket has it as well. When you move from Bitbucket to Github your PR workflow in the WebUI feels utterly complicated and way harder to review.
I already started to use gh a few month ago and that finally puts some sanity into working with github. Beside of creating PRs and merging them you can also get the diff of the PR, and pipe it to other tools. In the most simplistic case into diffstat. That finally compensates a bit for the horrible WebUI experience. Still a tree view would be nice.
The original English neoliths were dark skinned. You don't have any evidence to support your narrative that everything was white and not diverse. The genetic and archeological evidence (such as finding metal or objects from South Europe in North Europe) is showing that people travelled widely in historic times. I don't understand why this is so controversial to right wingers?

Well yeah, but Solidworks costs anywhere from $5000 to $10,000 per user per year... not really comparable ;-)

Russia's vaccine has been elaborated over a trusted, old and effective basis (innefective virus which triggers immune response). New mRNA vaccines are from the devil's lore as they are effective viruses that use your cell as a factory to produce what's needed to trigger immune response, tranforming us into GMOs...
> My understanding is that it's less "write less JavaScript" and more "Don't pull in MB after MB of dependencies".

Probably good practice regardless. Recently saw a project with 23,000 lines of CSS thanks to pulling in library after library. That's just hard to reason about come maintenance time.
OpenSCAD has been all I've ever needed for 3D printing. It's really intuitive for programmers so I haven't bothered learning anything else.
According to their privacy page they do save search strings without PII information for product improvement. I guess that includes !bang searches. The 2B searches a month should logically include bangs too.
It's only step 1 that is being discussed here though.
The UTF-8 Illustrator
What's hard is #1 compared to other tools, the rest of the steps you mentioned are the same everywhere. FreeCAD makes #1 hard, but it's a very very important tool to exist. I'm looking forward to the day where I switch to it.
If the feds were the problem, why aren't other states such as Texas or Colorado which have similar geographical features to California experiencing the same perpetual fire seasons over and over?
Both things can be true. Some dangerous drugs are excessively criminalized and that causes enormous problems. Others are legal but heavily regulated, like alcohol and tobacco. Some are legal and insufficiently regulated, which causes enormous problems too: see for example the ongoing opioid crisis in the US.

Nothing good comes from denying the dangers of an addictive drug, or leaving its distributors free to misbehave without consequence. That is the current situation with social media companies and their enormous influence on our minds.

I don’t think we should ban social media. But not holding multi-billion dollar social media conglomerates accountable at all is lunacy.
>What's TSMC's secret sauce compared to American fabs?

I have seen this being asked so many times but it still irritate me a lot.

TSMC's secret sauce is the wrong question to ask. You need to ask why GF and most importantly Intel are ( Fill in any or all negative words you may like ).

And that is about as polite as I could have put it.
> ... a gradual and linear melting rate is not what we should expect to see going forward.

This article seems to combine the lost civilization pseudo-science of Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock with the myopia of catastrophic climate change alarmists that ignore paleoclimate evidence. This evidence is captured in the LR04 Benthic Stack data and is fully supported by ice core and other data sources.

Modelling the fluid dynamics following the termination of the last glacial maxima is non-trivial but the broad strokes are well understood. The 120 meter change in sea levels during the 100-kyr glacial cycles are associated with predictable ice sheets, post-glacial rebound, glacial lakes, and meltwater pulses. Something similar to Glacial Lake Missoula occurred after each termination.

What we should expect to see moving forward is the start of the re-accumulation of glacial ice timed to the Milankovich Cycles. The question is how big a monkey wrench does human forced atmospheric CO2 throw into the established cycles.
How to extract data from ID cards using deep learning
I spent a month trying to get an NVIDIA Jetson Nano to be a text/image generator. Got lost in dependency hell and just ran out of memory. I found Max Woolf's Google Colab notebook and had something working in a day. Ended up creating this, which generates text without a GPU, although it was trained with one in Colab.

Of course you can scream fire if there is one, but the point is that making up a lie and intentionally introducing it into the public square harms others.
numba is a true horror to use, because supported subset of python language is an ever-moving target and overall small. cython is good but needs time to meddle with. For loop-intensive, simple function I'd advise FFI.
Indeed, reprocessing with PUREX and only using thermal reactors will most likely never make any economic sense.

Breeder reactors and more economic and proliferation-resistant reprocessing technologies like pyroprocessing might, however. Too early to tell really, as neither have really been developed to the point where one can make precise economic predictions.

> The combination of the class system and the war rationing absolutely wrecked British cooking in the 20th century

I don’t think this explains it. Being the first place in the world to get processed food has more to do with it. Britain’s been importing a lot of calories for a long time and canning and other flavor destroying methods of preservation really didn’t help. Rationing is unlikely to be relevant. British food was widely considered dreadful long before WWII. See any description of boarding school food or just consider the paucity of decent cheese in the UK in the 50s. The US didn’t have post war rationing and food in DC was terrible well into the 70s going by restaurants. Anglos have never beg known for great food culture like the Italians, French or Spanish.
Wikipedia edits have impact on tourism, say economists
One thing that I struggle with, as someone who is not a policy maker, is understanding the proportion of carbon emissions associated with different activities, for example, what would be the carbon emissions savings of these different options:

- The yearly energy savings of optimizing millions of web pages to reduce server side and local energy consumption?

- Banning personal vehicle diesel engines for 12 Months?

- Not shipping tonnes of tropical food across the Oceans for 12 months?

- Everybody not buying new clothes for 12 Months?

- Everybody not buying a new electronic device for 12 months?

I am not claiming that we should all go amish and bankrupt entire sections of the economy, my point is, these are all direct ways to curb carbon emissions but I have no intuition of how big of a dent in the overall emissions each option would make.

What are the carbon emissions that, if curbed, would provide the most bang for buck if you will?
"Web professionals" - therein lies part of the problem: to turn a simple mechanism for self-publishing into an idiosyncratic ever-changing self-serving cottage industry.
Dropbox respects the last-modified date on your files, so it shows things like “modified 29 years ago”, which is funny to see on an iOS app.

Sure, most of it comes down to the administration putting unqualified people with poor financial incentives in positions of high power.

There was this particularly transparent example by the Director of the CDC a couple of years ago, about buying tobacco stocks when put in charge of programs for reducing tobacco usage: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/30/cdc-director-tobac...

Also this story about how FDA appeared to bend to political pressure to greenlight an experimental treatment due to political pressure, bypassing the normal guidelines for demonstrating efficacy: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/why-did-fda-autho...

There's also been a general failure to respond appropriately to the pandemic. We're so many months in and PPE is still an issue: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/8-months-into-pandemic-...

And that's not even counting what the White House is doing, which is not good. Especially with the recently leaked audio tapes from Woodward from the same time POTUS was publicly downplaying it: https://youtu.be/-cfd_pJVYiM?t=179

Plus the hydroxychloroquine thing...

There's a lot of buzz lately about how the administration is trying to influence the CDC, but most of it is journalism/politics blue twitter insider type chatter:

* https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2020/09/politico-trum...

* https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/trump-e2-80-99s-att...

* https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2020/09/politico-trum...

* https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-appointees-sou...

But there is a lot of it, and that's pretty unusual for an organization like the CDC. Maybe it's all disinformation, but keep in mind it's the President's job to appoint the Director of the CDC: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/03/trumps-cdc-dire...

I'm not saying every smear against the man is true. But after the last director had to resign over the tobacco thing, and the current director is now clearly affiliated with the President, so I'm skeptical if he has the public interest at heart.

I've never had less faith in American institutions, and I think it's for good reason. There's a lot of corruption at the top, and it's clearly infiltrating the institutions.

If they say a vaccine is safe to get, I don't think I can trust it. I'm going to need to dive deeper into opinions of professionals when it becomes available before I get it.
I really want to like FreeCAD but it’s very very easy to screw up things irreparably in the parts designer. For example if you want to cut several faces and then realise you have made a mistake on one of the earlier sketches or need to adjust something, the whole model can fall apart. It just disappears. You have to unpick everything you did back to the point you did the original sketch and do it again.

This is a shame because the constraint modelling is actually better than F360.
Can't EU/EEA/CH citizens living in the UK before the end of the transition period apply for settled or pre-settled status depending on how long they've been there? There's no reason they would be forced to leave, if so, although of course some may choose to do so anyways.
That implies Facebook posts are an accurate assessment of opinion, and not whatever the algorithms promoted to increase engagement.
I agree - and this is the point of limited harms. If I set a fire in my neighbors house "for fun" I will go to prison for a long long time - because of the gigantic potential harm. If my bonfire burns my neighbors fence I am likely to face a shouting match and a bill. In a private forum a malicious lie is likely to create social opprobrium, on the internet it can precipitate the death of children.
Shot in the dark here, but perhaps you could try leaving the functionality the same and just try taking out all that code that tracks every pixel the user looks at, for how long, and how they can better market porn to that user...seems like that stuff could be taken out...
Hard to miss an atmosphere. If you're off to the side a bit, no big deal.
Yeah, that was the one that made me add the medical waste clause in my question. There have been a couple of cases of poor handling of these devices, but as far as I can tell there do not seem to be any deaths from actual reactor waste.
IMHO it's the wrong problem to fix. My view is that the best way to speed up the transition to clean energy is to vastly increase demand for electricity. This causes people to invest in new energy production. Which at this point pretty much means more wind and solar gets added. The more we have of it the less important remaining coal and gas plants are. Many countries are nearly done shutting down their coal plants. Gas plants are still being built but the economics for that are also not looking great at this point. Once we have a robust clean energy grid, these will probably be mothballed as well.

Data centers are already mostly running on clean energy and in so far they are not, all big cloud providers have committed to being carbon neutral. So, if you have some solar on your roof, you basically could be browsing the web without expending any carbon. So, open some more tabs and stop worrying.

In any case, the web is a tiny portion of our overall energy consumption so it's not really worth prioritizing this for optimization. Best case, it won't make a lot of difference. Worst case you are sacrificing design and UX for something that ultimately doesn't matter in terms of tangible results.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with making laptop batteries last longer, making laptops run cooler, and delivering a web site that is fast and responsive.
1996 predates most of the web as we know it today. It was a different time with different standards.
Don't get me started on "man find". I usually end up googling it (I don't use the terminal frequently).

Why can't I type "find toto.txt" and it looks for the file everywhere? If I need a more complex search I'm fine providing more arguments but give me something by default so that I don't spend 10 minutes trying to find how to use find ;)

Yes I could make an alias, but it won't be available everywhere.
It's funny to read a thread of people arguing over how good certain food is, as if that was some kind of objective matter amenable to resolution.
> It's a really bad look to say that these debates about nomenclature are not worthy of your time, and then go write 11 righteous paragraphs about it.

It indeed would look bad if I said any such thing. Fortunately, I did not.
Have you already made the circuit on a breadboard? If so, learning KiCAD and building the board from scratch would take around a week of afternoons.

I really recommend it, designing PCBs is very enjoyable (at least to me).
Huge? I have worked in this industry for a while now and never heard anyone outside of HN even mention it. It’s decidedly not huge for any definition of huge (outside of academia maybe?)
So? This is why service desk exists. And I say that as someone who previously worked in one. The key is that something being unsupported is clearly stated in the software and enforced by everyone in the organization. If done correctly you’ll have no PR penalty as the majority will take the party of the organization, and a PR benefit if it works for people even when they know it “shouldn’t”.
It usually refers to a split keyboard where each half is raised on one side, allowing for a more natural wrist posture. See this diagram for an example: https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/computerworkstations/images...
Because Russians know who the enemy is, the Jews! They've been dealing with them for over 2000 yesra where the west let's them do what they want!

Yes, it's absolutely a reason to consider not making something more efficient. It's not free to do the things this author recommends.

Increasing efficiency has both a cost (how many hours did it take to improve this, and how much power was spent on competing to develop them) and and opportunity cost (what could we have spent those hours on instead). If the efficiency gain never repays the cost, you've actually made the system worse by making it more efficient.

There are no claims from the author about what is saved, it seems like the amount of energy spent reclaiming a small amount of energy will lately be worthwhile.
FreeCAD is simple and low brain space, just make sure you have the 'Part' workbench selected.

Have a look at onshape.com. It's a web-based cad tool and I found that it was easy enough to learn in a couple hours using video tutorials. I now use it to make all my 3d printed parts. I mainly work on Linux so the web interface is a big plus for me.
FreeCAD can import OpenSCAD.

But you can design in FreeCAD with the same approach / workflow as in OpenSCAD: make elementary shapes, extrude them then join or cut them.

This can be done in the "Part" menu. Just click on the yellow shapes on the left of the toolbar to create them, then go to their properties to rotate/extrude them, and select two or more to join or cut.

This is the same brain process as in OpenSCAD.
Tesla can do that at government instruction. They have no business doing that if private individual asks for it even if it is world ending nuclear threat terrorist attack.

Same for namecheap. They cannot be the judge of what is spam and not. they should not be asked to gatekeep for the justice system
FreeCAD can be made to work, but it's very buggy. I've seen frequent error dialogs, redraw bugs, and menu state issues in my trivial usage of it. Since it's not at all intuitive to novices it can be hard to tell if one is using it wrong or it's just not working again. Often saving, exiting, and re-opening the model is the "work around" so it's very frustrating.

It doesn't help that each version gets a lot of superficial UI changes so tutorial videos will often get you part way then some menu option no longer exists and you're stuck.

I plan to try SolveSpace next as it seems to be a lot more stable - though in principle also a lot more limited.
That has been in 2017, when there was also this famous discussion between Hancock, Carlson and Shermer on the JRE. Shermer is the publisher of Skeptic Magazine, which you quoted. He recently tweeted this: https://twitter.com/michaelshermer/status/123755946996742144...

Is it that surprising that Europeans have higher standards for European foods, or at least the ones local to them? Foreign imports will always be seen as specialty items that tend to be overpriced and usually few and far between. You might find good European bread options in the US if you're willing to spend far more time and money to travel to that one bakery in town that has higher standards, but most people won't bother.
I’m fine with legalizing crack as long as producers and distributors are heavily regulated and held accountable for their impact on public health, just like the alcohol and tobacco industry.

Social media conglomerates manipulate how billions of people perceive the world around them, with disastrous effects. They should be held accountable for that.

Absolving them of all guilt, and blaming all the nefarious effects of social media on the consumers, accomplishes nothing.
I'm not talking about OpenSCAD though. Try OnShape/Fusion360/Solidworks, FreeCAD is much less usable and featureful than those.
Built to Last – Mar Hicks on COBOL
I'm trying to find a good source, but on phones, data size isn't as much of an issue as how long you have to keep the LTE radio powered for a full data connection. The worst thing you can do is progressively load content every 60s as someone scrolls or ping back to a tracking server every 60s.
Haven’t tried FreeCAD, but it kind of sounds like OpenSCAD (openscad.org). There you only use scripts to generate models which is nice, but a bit too clunky and slow to iterate. The lack of direct visual feedback makes for a less intuitive interface. FreeCAD seems a lot better in that aspect, and in difference to say Fusion360 you can use your models for commercial purposes!
And also don't forget to include Carbon emission emitted by natural event such as volcano eruptions
This is an important and timely call to action but I think the more important audience here is ad tech professionals. The difference between my processor fan turning on or not is frequently ad tech.
