The simpler explanation is they are not willing to invest the cash needed to create the Apple premium user experience.

> Water is harder to store in the winter since it will freeze and burst containers if full

In my experience, filling a PET bottle to the brim with tap water and freezing it is fine. The bottle won’t burst, but, I guess, be stretched a bit. Some water will be forced out when you open it, but that’s all.

I use this on hot summer days. Freeze water overnight, take it with you, and you’ll still have cool water in the afternoon.

Warning: I haven’t tried this in outside temperatures. Those can get a lot lower than you garden variety freezer unit inside a fridge.

We can have this discussion until we’re blue in the face, but unless the state is willing to send police to round up teachers and force them to work, teachers will look out for their own health and not go to work when Covid numbers are this high.

I see a lot of comments about "Just raise prices". And it's true, that's what restaurants have to do to survive on an individual level.

The problem is aggregate demand across the entire economy. Consumers are getting squeezed by inflation for, well, everything. Quicker than wages are going up in the economy. So overall demand isn't rising as quickly as restaurants need to raise prices.

Consumers are still eating out and paying those higher prices, they're just doing it less often or, even worse, ordering less per visit.

This isn't necessarily the death knell for restaurants with a specific competitive advantage but it does mean lots of restaurants won't make it.

There is something wrong with answering someones request for learning resources with a bunch of gatekeeping.

You said Fusion is for amateurs, and that "real" MEs don't use it. That's wrong, plenty of real MEs use it. You then listed a bunch of features that Fusion 360 actually has in a way suggesting it doesn't.

You also used a bunch of terms and pointed towards the importance of knowing those terms - which is just another form of gatekeeping. You didn't mention them in a way that suggested them as useful search terms to research.

And now you are saying I don't understand your buzzwords. Well, I do. Now what?

My attitude is simple: provide op with something that helps and encourages him. Telling him his tool is amateurish and throwing around some ME terms doesn't achieve that.

Industrial engineer here. I love seeing people get into manufacturing!

I agree with the other points, injection molding would be difficult to get into and is designed for moderately big runs. That being said, I know of a guy who was in a similar position as you with a couple inventions he wanted to bring to market. The quote for plastic injection molds was coming out to low 6 figures, and there wasn't a guarantee they would work the first try, so he bought a 3-axis CNC mill and a plastic injection molding machine for the same cost and could iterate faster and cheaper. He now runs a decent size contract manufacturer in Iowa.

Depending on your designs and interests, I'd suggest checking if your nearby community college has welding classes. They're typically very cheap and professional guidance with a skill like that is invaluable. They may have other classes for other manufacturing skills which you could learn on YouTube, but again professional guidance can be invaluable for learning fast and avoiding poor habits that will hold you back later.

Take a look at the hobby offerings for Inventor and Autodesk if you feel at all limited. I recently tried using Fusion 360 but found the interface confusing coming from using Autodesk in school.

If you have more specific examples of things you're looking to make, we could give more tailored advice. There are tons of manufacturing processes available, each with a range of units and product features they're optimal for.

Back in school the manufacturing professors would have us bring in products if we couldn't determine the manufacturing method and they would help us figure it out.

I've been wondering about this for a while. Why do we need scale numbers and can't use dpi? Essentially if wayland (or desktops shells) would specify sizes in a "real world unit" changing the size of windows, text etc would just mean changing the dpi. In particular it would be trivial to have different size/resolution monitors display the elements at the same size. Considering if elemtents are vector graphics we don't even need fractional scaling for desktop elements.

Now we still would need to scale images etc, but that is much less an issue than fractional scaling text or lines etc.

Why do people use such a tool? I did not enjoy Electron due to its sluggishness, and I believe that it is a strictly Pareto-inferior solution:

* Creating a web app has the same UI performance, but does not require you to download and update.

* Creating a native app has the same installation and update requirements, but allows much better UI performance.

Indeed, - it's a question of storage. If you imagine mipmaps being precalculated convolutions of the original texture map, then there are infinitely many such convolutions that may be appropriate for some 3D view of that textured surface.

On a related note, there is a technique called summed area tables, which allows for the rapid evaluation of the total value of all pixels in any axis aligned rectangle, with only a few additions and subtractions. AFAIK this never really caught on though, because it required the storage of much larger numbers than GPU textures could historically support.

In 1986 I started a new job. My manager sat me down at a vt102 connected to a PDP-11, pointed to a shelf of orange 4-inch binders and said "That's the system documentation. Log in by typing "HELLO [7,1]". You're now the PDP expert. Good luck."

There was also always the scent of rosin-core in the air because you always needed cables for things. People smoked at their desks in the office, the only place in the office with AC was the server room (backups to tape became more frequent in the summer months for some reason), there was a social protocol to how you handled someone else's listings left on the line printer, and the photocopier was perennially jammed.

Building an executable was usually an overnight job run in the batch queue.

That's what programming was like in 1987.

> btw. Wave function collapse in quantum physics is completely speculative phenomenon. There is only apparent wave function collapse.

To be more precise, the Born rule non-linear adjustment of the wave function to a single real value after a measurement is strictly necessary for QM to match experiments. Whether this should be interpreted as a physical phenomenon of wave function collapse, or as entanglement with the environment (MWI), or as an update of probabilities for hidden variables (Pilot wave) or some other phenomenon is speculative, but the wave function must be "collapsed" to a single real value after a measurement to correctly predict experimental results.

I’m curious where your friend and his wife live. Where I live we have a 90% vaccination rate, reinstated mask mandates and hospitals full beyond capacity, such that non-covid patients can’t get care. My family and I are all fully vaccinated and we wear masks as required. Yet my son still caught covid in late November and it went through our house. You can rail against those with differing points of view, but in my experience the masks aren’t working on a macro level. They’re not even slowing the infection rate. I’m also tired of the theater and ineffective restrictions.

You might price out some of your designs with a lower cost, quick turn, prototype focused injection mold contract manufacturer before deciding that's the right tech for your next projects. Something like ProtoLabs https://www.protolabs.com/services/injection-molding/ or similar.

Even with aluminum molds at a low cost focused prototyping CM, which are MUCH cheaper than steel molds, I think the pricing for just one set of tooling is going to exceed your $15k budget.

Finding 3D printing contract manufacturers who can manufacture with the materials you're interested in would be my recommendation if you're moving into plastics. The unit cost is going to be extreme compared to injection molding, but there's almost 0 tooling cost, so for prototyping 1 or 2 units will be significantly cheaper. Advanced 3d printing these days can rival (or even exceed) the performance of an injection molded part.
Join a makerspace if you live near a substantial one. Mine (Protohaven in Pittsburgh) has both a CNC mill and a Morgan injection molder (a rare small injection molder good for 100s of parts), which is a nice way of exploring some tech before buying it. Even more valuable are the people who hang out at these places, who have probably done the things you’re considering.

It's hardly lazy dev work. It's a pragmatic approach to developing cross platform apps quickly. Apps that, it might be added, don't have a horrendous UI, which is common with other frameworks.
I feel you've answered your own question. If you want to make a single app that can be web or offline, and cross-platform, Electron and friends allow you to do that. It's a trade-off of dev effort for user experience, and as much as many devs hate that philosophy it allows many things to exist that otherwise would not be worth the effort.

> Well, duh :) Perl's still more popular than people think.

There is no way to define the word "popular" that makes this a true statement with regard to Perl 5 or any future development thereof shooting for backwards compatibility. -- I hate to be the negative nancy in this regard, but I seriously think that this is a cold and hard truth that is causing a lot of suffering because of people who fail to acknowledge it. (Disclosure: I work in a shop that forces me to do Perl, and I hate it with a passion).

One definition of "popular" would be: You ask programmers "Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year?" [1]. 48.2% will then answer Python compared to 6.75% who will answer Ruby and 2.46% who will answer Perl.

Another definition of "popular" would be: Drilling down into those 2.46%, you ask them whether they love doing Perl or dread having to do Perl. 64% will answer they dread it [2]. This definitely agrees with my own experience working in a Perl-shop. Most people say they'd rather be doing something else. The company just feels that it doesn't make economic sense, so we're stuck with it.

For the other ones, I seriously suspect a case of Stockholm syndrome or something of the sort. -- Those would be the ones corresponding to the 0.86% (0.0246 x 0.36 = 0.00855) who say they do Perl and they actually like it.

The Perl code that's currently out there is literally sitting on top of an ecosystem that is rotting away beneath it [3]. For legacy code, the argument can sometimes be made that the situation is not bad enough yet to warrant moving away from Perl. But starting a new greenfield project in Perl 5 is, in my opinion, nothing short of professional malpractice.

So Perl is pretty much relegated to the hobbyist sphere, with Perl 5 maybe being of interest to retrocomputing aficionados. In that sense 80s-BASIC is very much the proper comparison class. Not modern-day Python or Ruby.

With Perl 6 / Raku not offering a viable migration path, one has to look at it the same way one would look at any other modern-day programming language upstart, with all the problems that entails (like lack of ecosystem, etc.)

Introspecting my own psychological experience now, I would go as far as to say that the open source developer community keeping Perl alive is perhaps the only group of people who truly meet the definition of giving the world something for free out of the goodness of their hearts (even in a way that ends up putting money in my own pockets), but who I actively dislike because of that. I feel like: If only Perl 5 would die a sudden death instead of this slow creeping demise, then, maybe, for me too this torture could finally come to an end.
