The fun thing about BlenderBIM is that it's IFC-native. (IFC is the 'Industrial Foundation Classes' - a data model/structure for modeling buildings and the components, systems, and intangibles like construction schedules.)

BlenderBIM is internally managing everything with the IfcOpenShell library - all of the data uses the Python interfaces of IfcOpenShell (which internally has a lot of C) to keep the model state. Blender is more a rendering backend and nice UI to manipulate the state of the IFC model with IfcOpenShell - but basically everything you can do with the Blender GUI you can pop open a shell and just type in Python and do the same thing.

This means you'll occasionally see some Blender things that don't do what you expect to the model you're editing - there are ways to have Blender do state modifications that don't all get translated to the IFC data underneath, so sometimes doing things like selections or modifiers are surprising for Blender users. (I think over time the list of things that are like this has gotten a lot smaller, and BlenderBIM is now pretty good about keeping the state of what's displayed in Blender in sync with what the underlying IFC model is storing)

The main commercial player in this space is Autodesk Revit. There is a lot of thinking that perhaps Revit has reached a point as a platform where Autodesk can't keep building on it (i.e. it has so much tech debt that it's getting hopeless) - see https://letters-to-autodesk.com/ Autodesk has a number of other 3D modeling software packages and I sometimes think that for their next generation of Revit they should consider the BlenderBIM approach and maybe build on top of Maya or one of their other offerings.
Wikipedia is genuinely a wonder of the world.

Trying to extend, mirror, or bolster it is potentially beneficial.

Trying to replace it is foolish.

Yes, bytes from a *logical* stream need to be delivered in order. But in HTTP2 (3) multiple logical streams are multiplexed on top of one physical TCP (QUIC) connection. In the HTTP2 case this means that a dropped segment from logical stream A will block delivery of subsequent segments from an different logical stream B (which is bad for obvious reasons). QUIC doesn't have this problem, which is a large part of its value proposition.
> I'd be tempted to think that if an application is designed in a way where switching your TLS implementation has consequences for the concurrency model, you have some serious design challenges.

I think you're misunderstanding OP's theoretical. If TLS is in the stdlib, that means its version is tied to the version of the language you're using. I.e. if you want to upgrade to a newer TLS, you need to upgrade your entire language version (compiler, interpreter, whatever).

So you can end up in a spot where you need to go from v1 of a language to v2 to get a modern TLS implementation. However if v2 of the language also contains changes to how the language handles threading, you now need to rewrite your app's threading to be compatible with v2 of the language, just so you can get a safe TLS implementation.

Basically because TLS is in the stdlib, TLS can force you to upgrade your language version.

If TLS was 3rd party, you could upgrade the library without upgrading your language version (presuming the TLS library supports your language version).
I tend to agree. An example of how it can be net-zero gain is in this screenshot[1]. To have something maintainable, you have to do your own refactoring pass on the generated code. At that point, it's not much effort to write the test yourself than it is to refactor all of the redundancies.

I don't really know how this data is useful, especially if you're younger. Because the group is so big when you're young it brings the average down, because the average is meaningless without showing the standard deviations.

In other words this data gets more accurate as you get older and your cohort dies off.

There are better calculators that ask you questions about your wealth and lifestyle, and then use this same data as a starting point and then the answers to the questions as modifiers. Those seem far more accurate (and are closer to what actuaries use).

Honestly, the best predictor of when you might die of natural causes is your life insurance company, who only makes money if they get it right most of the time and have an incentive to have good tables!

Playwright has some pretty good strategies for selection using positional locators[0] which generally feel pretty resilient. Not quite as ergonomic as Taiko[1], but still really good.

Both have good heuristics for auto-waiting that simplify interactions and make them "faster" because there's not as much wasted time doing manual waits.

I particularly liked Taiko + Gauge[2], but Playwright can also be plugged into Gauge and the ergonomics are really nice because then you can write "plain English" test scripts that translate into system actions.

I have two videos that go over both:

Being able to zero-effort cleartext a passkey strips it of the HSM-lite properties that make it safer than passwords. Attestation reintroduces those properties, by restricting use to those that adhere to them. Of course they’re going to pivot to attestation — there was no other possible outcome given the passion invested into total freedom — but it was still kind of them to try and let people voluntarily adhere to their principles first. Non-compliance is too valuable a niche for that to work, both for believers and for profit, so of course here we are.

I’ve already posted at length on HN about the risks of treating attestation as evil and refusing to discuss its benefits at all, and how that manner of engagement will lead to it being widely adopted over the objections of an uncoordinated minority. The sky is falling, yet no one discusses how freedom and attestation might coexist, and so the majority use case (end users) is winning.

I still expect the big wake up call is going to be in a couple years when Steam enables attestation in their Linux product and VAC begins requiring it, but at least the ripples of LXC’s approach are being seen at all.

Blender is already being used for that purpose, it doesn't have a specific aim, and that is one of its strengths. The question remains: Why would you strip away and partially re-implement all the UI? You never know what your users might have needed that you took away.
That's no whitewashing. Not sure where you got this idea from but if you read the link to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement you'd realize that what you wrote is completely incorrect and almost a lie. Czechia was not invited to that meeting and European superpowers decided that it should cede to Germany. Plus Germany invaded Czechia in 1939. Czechs would go to war and lost it in days (just look at the size and position) and would be a pariah in Europe if they didn't listen.

What is completely unacceptable is for people like you to pretend that we live in 1974, when claims like the above were true. The overcorrection has been fierce, rapid, and brutal in the last decade or two.

People like you need to look at a fucking calendar from time to time and realize that 20th century talking points don't apply anymore.

The next steps for our robotaxi in Las Vegas, Foster City, and beyond
Well, Guix sidesteps that problem by (rightly) pointing out that Intel microcode updates are non-free software, and thus aren't included in the system. If one wants those updates, they have to do it themselves, usually by using a software channel that provides ways to use non-free software on their system, which means that the user makes a conscious choice to use non-free stuff instead of it being handed from up high.

It might not be a satisfying answer, but oh well. One can complain at Intel about it.

Most sources include BMR in these figures.

I wonder if the symptoms you described can be also explained by being on autism spectrum. And then there's generalized anxiety disorder - a common comorbidity with ADHD, which could also cause worrying about failure.

I fairly certain I have either ADHD, autism, or probably both, and have existing diagnosis pointing to being "neuroatypical". But coming up with exact diagnosis seems to be pretty difficult, because many other diagnosis can explain specific symptoms.
In my criticism I made a conscious effort to single out the Czechoslovak government (I should've probably narrowed it down to Beneš and Hácha in particular), as opposed to the citizenry.

This reminds me: some of the best "therapy" is to react to something in a draft email (with no recipient), then close it, walk away. Come back at some point and see if what you wrote makes any sense, needs to be communicated, or should be avoided altogether.

I find my initial writing almost never aligns with what needs to be done. But the process of writing it - in a reactive state or not - helps clarify that decision and slow it to the right (or a better) outcome.
I'm not a physicist, but isn't this 'everything is identical' model fundamentally incompatible with quantum mechanics? There seems to be hidden quantum state encoded within the proton and other subatomic particles, although that state may not be relevant to the interactions that we care about on a day to day basis.

Your comment does remind me of this though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe

If we are not in a one-electron universe, every electron is unique in the sense that it has an entirely unique path though spacetime, and thus can't be identical. I think what you mean is that every one of these "particles" seems to obey the same set of laws, which is not something that's unique to atoms, subatomic particles, or even larger things like molecules.
schopenhaur's idealism is indeed very similar, as is all idealism to this computational mysticism.

What none in this tradition considered possible is that the world exists; each reduced it down to a purely formal pattern one way or another.

Thankfully today we treat mental illness, and derealisation and depersonalisation and raised to this status.

I operate in a framework where there's a world and we're in it, and it is one way and not another, and the way it is arises from spatio-temporal properties that arent equivalent because the symbols we use in models of them are isomorphic.

In otherwords, I have passed through my phase of insanity and arrived back into the world where the grass is green because it is green; and the chair heavy, because it is massive,.
> If you think this is good, keep in mind that in France children as young as 10 (basically after finishing junior school) can start at 8 and finish at 6 or even 7 (rarely), after which they will easily have an hour of homework to do every day.

That is exaggerated. They can, but rarely do. In collège here they work from 8:15 to 16:35, and every other day they start late or finish early. Back in my time it was 8 to 17 most days and 8 to 12 on Wednesdays. Finishing at 18 was uncommon in lycée, and finishing at 19 only happened very occasionally at the university (and then we had lots of free time during the days).

> The French school schedule is absolutely not an example to follow.

The German schedule is good as well, but I am happy to have had 1 year less before going to the university.

Lighter schedules are brutal for working parents who need to stay at home or pay through the nose for additional childcare.

This is why you need to structure your review process around objectively verifiable info as much as possible. Have clear areas of responsibility for each individual, such that you can readily evaluate what they accomplished and how well it's working. They are responsible for a particular mission and set of objectives, and they either achieve them or they don't.

This can't work without individual ownership, which is antithetical to "best practices" at many places.
No, that's inefficient and real spacecraft don't do that for typical low earth orbits. Works in Kerbal Space Program, though.

Normal orbital insertion is a single burn to orbit (with staging). With the correct initial roll and pitch, the spacecraft follows a perfect gravity turn and ends up in a near circular orbit at main engine cut off.
