This is fantastic, thank you for your work! I'm excited to see this project combine a clean API in a popular language, with a fast online playground that requires no installation. Having played with OpenSCAD and CadQuery in the past, this feels like a big step forward.

Some suggestions (I'm sure you've already thought of most of these):

- It would be great to have notebook-like UI to isolate steps and allow faster partial rebuilds.

- live editing is great, but it'd be nice to automatically stop in-progress rebuild if another edit is made while it's computing. Right now it seems to always let a rebuild complete even if it's already out-of-date.

- Search on API/docs page would be really handy

- Face/vertex filtering API looks cleaner than CadQuery's, and I'm excited to try it out. In a lot of cases I would still really like to just be able to click on the model and get a reference in code. Even if it's just an index that would break if topology has changed. Auto-generating stable references/filters would be even better, when possible.

Not just for continuing development in general, but it would be nice for potential contributors too!
What prevents me from going to those clubs is a lock of understanding of the structure. I can understand something like a soccer team, but a “social club” gives me “networking event” vibes which are a huge turnoff.
When you say "it will be flagged" do you mean that it would be considered cheating under existing academic dishonesty policies? or do you mean that the plagiarism-detection tools currently in use at universities can reliably detect the output of ChatGPT, new Bing, etc. that were only released publicly in the last few months

which many people - even senior developers - aren't because housing and other CoL expenses eat up wages everywhere, and companies exploit that as they wish.

Additionally, at least in the US and parts of the EU, the complications of legalized slavery aka H1B / other work visas make protesting against bad conditions much harder.
I sympathise with your frustration, but the blame is absolutely with your bank. I mean, finances are like THE thing to be security minded about - the fact they're still using IE is just unacceptable from any lens.
Pre-COVID my first management job was working for a company that was chronically understaffed and I ended up spending a good 20% of my time dealing just with hiring for the couple years I was there.

Near the end, I could only dedicate about 5% of my time to dev and < 30% to support my largely junior team. The rest of it was wasted on bureaucratic processes that were a vampire of my time. In the end, I didn't think I could honestly protect the team through what was surely to be a painful slide into mediocrity, so opted out. I felt terrible leaving them to whatever came next, but once you realize you're unable to make positive change, it's time to go.

What the article says is that he thinks it is overdiagnosed, not that it is a scam. This may or may not be true, it's hard to tell. With ADHD, as with autism, there is likely a spectrum. And given that stimulant drugs show some benefits to almost everybody, where do you draw the line between "needs them to function normally" and "needs them to function optimally"?
I'm not sure what the foundation for this is.

Some of the best ideas I've had have been developed with other people. Role playing games especially are all about collaborative creation. The viewpoint in the article is nothing but tunnel vision, focusing on what works for them and projecting it out into a rule.

I'd wager what the author really means is that to have control over their work, and not having to bend their ideas to develop alongside the ideas of others, requires isolation. And that's something I can relate to. But that isn't about creation, it's about control, and fulfilling your personal vision rather than prioritizing a shared vision.
Sure. The 1990s.

Single-core processors like the 486, Pentium, Pentium2 and Pentium4 had processes and threads, and many many programmers found them useful in the 1980s and 1990s.

Multicore computers weren't popular until the mid 00s, long after processes and threads were implemented in modern OSes.

------------

That is, for the entire time in the 1980s and 1990s, on single-core processors... processes and threads would _NOT_ speed up your programs (as per #1), because you only had a singular core. Task switching doesn't help at all on a 486 or a Pentium in terms of #1.

But task switching / threads helps in terms of Hard Drives (elevator algorithm), networking, and other I/O issues.

Even today: OSes like FreeRTOS offer you threads and/or processes on single-core systems like STM32G0 and other small microcontrollers.

----------

Windows 95 was when multiprocessing became popular in the Microsoft world. It would take another decade before typical home users had multicores. 99% of the time, a program sat there, waiting for the mouse to move or some other event to happen.

I don't understand or like schools that take a tough stance on computer-checking for plagarism and so on, that's just sad, but if the school thinks using this tool is cheating, then I'd avoid it.

I've already heard that schools think that chatbots are a crisis, they can't do essay hand-ins anymore due to this, but maybe there are different approaches where they can handle it. Maybe some think for example that they can see through it and grade down if it is an apparent problem for the handed-in text anyway.

Wew... So many wrong theories and half-truths here...

1. Lung cancer in smokers is not primarily caused by formaldehyde. There are lots of other irritants/carcinogens in tobacco smoke, chronic exposure of which contributes to cancer. Non-smokers are exposed to formaldehyde in comparable quantities to smokers from various industrial processes, household solvents, etc.

2. Rhabdomyolysis in burn victims is caused by the reperfusion of massively damaged muscle tissue.

3. The breakdown of muscle tissue in rhabdomyolysis releases creatine kinase, not creatinine.

4. Creatinine does not have antimicrobial effect at concentrations available in the human body. You would need to increase its plasma concentration 100-fold to get an appreciable effect on microbes. Suffice to say, that would be quite unhealthy for your kidneys.

A typical VC that does a bunch of these without being able to follow through will rapidly find their management fees exhausted (because that's where quite a few of them fund failed DDs from, a typical DD budget is anywhere from 150K to 500K depending on the deal size, that includes legal, financial, technical, commercial, possibly an evaluation of the founders and whatever else is deemed necessary).
I think that using allowing students to AI to write school essays is like allowing students athletes to use a hoverboard when they're told to run a mile. It's the act of running that's the point, not the end result of running in a circle

Likewise, nobody is going to give a damn about your school essays except your teacher. It's the practice of synthesizing information on your own that important.
This reminds me of Stephen King's reflections from his book "On Writing":

> Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you, in other words, but then it goes out. Once you know what the story is and get it right — as right as you can, anyway — it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it.

There's always room for iterative improvement with feedback from others, but you need to first make something you believe in.

This kind of clashes with the idea of finding problems to solve for other people, but I frequently see advice to "solve your own problems" first, because you know them better than other people's problems.
In 2011, I desperately wanted to buy an AMD card. More perf per dollar, don't feed the nvidia beast, etc etc. Between OpenCL for GPGPU and Blender OpenCL support, I was ready -- only to find that the Blender support didn't work unless you did a custom build and even then it performed so poorly that the CPU would beat it. I sold my AMD card and bought an NVidia one.

In 2014, I desperately wanted to buy an AMD card. More perf per dollar, don't feed the nvidia beast, etc etc. AMD had devoted someone to getting the Blender kernels working a few years back, surely now was the time? No, Blender support was still trash. Ok, GPGPU was more important to my use-case anyway. I wasted 2 months trying to write my own compute projects on that AMD GPU. Loads of crashes, leaks (N runs until a black screen and lockup), weird performance issues, debuggers only worked intermittently, it was bad. One time I had spent the whole damn day chasing an OpenCL issue in circles -- only to have the exact, unmodified kernel run flawlessly when I tried it on my buddy's nvidia card. That was it. I sold my AMD card and bought an NVidia one, once more eating the ebay fees, the spread, and the green tax.

10 years later, I hope AMD's success in the CPU space means they now have money and can turn this around. Still, I won't be the guinea pig anymore. I'll buy an AMD card when I see it doing the things I want it to do and not a second earlier. Marketing puffery isn't enough this time. I need to see proof.

Interesting - if you do manage to formulate it I'd be curious to read that.

I like how they're taking a proactive approach in trying out what role ChatGPT and the like can play in generation and exploration of knowledge. I like the breakdown of the different ways of interacting with the tool, and the callout of how collaborative editing seems like the best out of the approaches they've witnessed. I also feel somewhat comforted by the remarks about how students engage with the output of the tools critically and fact checking can actually be a valuable way to interact with the material.

Personally I think I would enjoy this class - I like the openness to experimentation. I can imagine that _getting graded for it_ could be a frustrating experience though, I think with experimental classes that's a kind of thing for which there tends to be little standardization and it can be unpredictable how you'll be judged.
The Lancet is a peer reviewed journal - their goal is to publish research that meets a high bar in terms of academic rigor and potential impact. They didn't take a u-turn on hydroxychloroquine, they just published multiple papers at different times that don't agree with each other.

This is one of the biggest problems I see for getting new friends as a millennial. About a year ago I got my amateur radio license.

Yikes.. In my professional teaching career I always tried to not teach the tools, but the concepts. Tools are things that develop. Students can find the right tools just fine.

Teaching how to use ChatGPT is exactly what I would advice against. There's no science behind it, except some knowledge that's based on personal experiments. It doesn't provide much educational progress.

I mean, one class for this would be OK. But basing all your classes on a tool?! Not in my class!
Uh, can I get one of those layoffs?
Adding to this idea: perhaps learning how to "calculate" with text, or treating human semantic output as a programmable medium is the entire point of LLMs, as an evolution of our communication capabilities. For instance, I think the dramatic depreciation of low-quality text, various summarization techniques, etc. will act as a filter / evolutionary pressure on improving the quality and value of intellectual output.

No, language versions are not languages.

I meant in general, which languages that were created in the last 20 years are used by all big tech companies.

> Also what FAANGs do with their choice of tech is their own worries. They have needs that will never be encountered by majority of the rest of the world's programming.

I was arguing that Rust is popular since it has quite a bit of adoption, as demonstrated for example by it's usage by big tech. Also, no, there is a dire need for good systems languages.
I used to rely on the file type:pdf argument to find ebooks. It used to be trivial to find most ebooks this way. Now it doesn’t work at all, I’m completely sure Google broke this functionality to keep publishers happy. A similar example is googling a phone number, which never works.
I also reacted the same way to your write-up. As a professional creative toward the end of a multi-decade career, I interpreted it as describing the initial moment of inception, which for me, tends to come all in a rush after a long period of uninterrupted solitude. However, after the 'aha' realization my creative process turns to first capturing the now-connected pieces, then forming them into some rough first expression and bouncing that off of early collaborators for feedback. This is usually followed by an intense period of creative engagement with others as the initial idea or concept is sharpened and refined from an often messy pile of "not quite it" into something much more like its eventual self.

What you described is the often invisible first parts of creation which involve exploring the space, then posing the question or framing the problem and finally stewing on it until the seed of the thing is ready to emerge in that moment of solitude. The best collaborators and producers understand the necessity and shape of this process.

I agree that design+engineering is the optimal team structure.

For some reason, I’ve found lately that designers don’t want to work with engineers. This happens regardless of whether or not the engineer and designer work in the same office. Because of this, designers come up with prototypes that are more expensive to implement than what is required to meet the customer’s needs. So at some point, engineers have to have awkward conversations with designers about trimming scope.

This seems to me why we have PMs: engineers naturally avoid the awkward conversations, build half-fancy things because they have a budget to meet and “it wasn’t in the design,” and no one is happy with the final product.

I feel like there is still a better way out there, and I think it involves engineering and design both breaking out of their shells, and that’s where a PM can really help.

@rafram I don't think there is any doubt people who are jewish have had an important cultural influence on US media - Robert Crumb, MAD magazine etc - and some of their cultural background plays a part in that...but the whole idea of the 'new world' USA was assimilation in that '30's era, not celebrating ethnicity and past backgrounds.

'Jewish immigrants essentially invented the superhero genre' is a real stretch in this context. There were plenty of other cultural influences, particularly Japanese, in book and comic form that predate and were major influences on the US golden age of comic book explosion in popularity.

This is where AI could act as a good equalizer.

Having access to people who can sit down with you and explain things to you when you get stuck, or who can point out mistakes in your existing understanding or your work, can make a huge difference in the outcomes of students.

If AI gets good enough to fill that role, everyone can have that access (or at least something close enough).
To be clear, shareholders do routinely pull their money from companies they believe are underperforming. This is what's happening when a stock price drops or bond rate climbs after a company's earnings fall short of expectations. Investors are generally not equally thrilled with a mediocre profit instead of a great profit because any profit is delicious.

Do they "Go Galt"? No, but their money often goes somewhere else. A different company, a hedge fund, or even a different country are all options used quite regularly. Taking their ball and going to play somewhere else with some other people is always an option. Tax policy can and does influence this.
That question makes no sense really. It’s like asking whether camping can be as practical as living in a proper house - maybe for some people, but generally, that’s just not the point.
