There are 2 types of old people now:

1. those who see it as magic
2. those who made the magic

I have an old case that takes a PSU at the top.
I bought a PSU made for being at the bottom, and placing it in their meant giving it the CPU heat in its intake. It felt like it would burn up any minute.

I took some used aluminium cans, cut them up using expensive scissors (~5x the price of normal scissors, in turn, it won’t go bad, cutting plastic boxes and aluminium sheet) and made a frame to mount the PSU on the top, instead of inside the case.

The wires had to go around, making it a partially open case, but it worked. No feeling of imminent fire hazard and the PSU was exhausting air at a relieving temperature.

I find it hard to understand how people are able to kiss the ground without the thought getting in their mind that - someone probably spat/pissed in that place not too long ago.

Isn’t that probably a feature, which would then also be advertised to the end user? Maybe for photo-artists and such

Since I already keep notifications to replies on forever, it won’t make a difference to me.
Except of course, the ‘@’ in the text being a little distracting.

Guess that’s what OOP’s trying to selectively breed

Just complete your KRAs beforehand and hand over the project to the Junior Dev, before then.

That’s the joke

Neh I’m good.
I’ll just stay in a different country during the purge.

From what I think, a CAD application with just a good enough base UI and proper support for different levels of precision is enough.

Then scripting support can be added (maybe Python, like Blender does) and then the technology teams of the respective departments can manage making scripts for whatever requirements they might have.

Of course it might not give the good looking UI and maybe even lack the in-viewport annotations (also, pretty renderings for materials) for those extra features that stuff like Revit provides (which is specialised for buildings as compared to plain AutoCAD), but it would do the job, which, from what I have seen, is what people look for as a first. The pretty graphics are just an extra.

On the other hand, it might be possible to provide some sort of an API to the scripting language, to add annotations and textures as properties to the in-viewport elements and maybe even some presets for viewport widgets, which might be utilised with scripted logic. Any more than that, and it would warrant a proper plugin, made in the source language.

GPS: Galactic Positioning System

Just suppose you are not selling the software outside of the galaxy and you will have to update your database (and transform and migrate all the data) when the 2 galaxy positioning system is formed.

It will depend upon other things you might want to do with it in the future.
If you want the record to stay “correct” in the future, you might want to have a separate entry for nationality information, which will be a 1-to-1 mapping with the other table you make for it. Why? …

• in the nationality information, along with the country code (for which you want to allow 3 character codes for forward compatibility), the date at which the the information was given in the form
• if possible, also include the date at which the nationality was provided (as in, provided to the user by the nation)

This should help determine what kind of change may occur in case of changes in the political landscape in the future, without you requiring to re-ask the form-filler.

And I am going to consider this stuff every time I make a database schema.

Stuff in the real world is subject to change, so instead of only storing the provided data as you asked for, make a ledger for events. And someone submitting a forms, will be another event.

This way, you get the flexibility to verify the provided data in the future, using information that you will have in the future, but don’t have at the time the data was provided.

Of course, this is only needed if it is needed.

I have had people do that face-to-face.
The internet just makes it easier to find those people do that thing, instead of having them do so to a single person (with noone else listening), leaving them to do nothing other than grumble at themselves for expecting a consistent conversation.

Yeah, OPs rant seems useless to any developer trying to be helpful.

There are quite a few people who might want to do something but have neither used the X ssh pass-through nor have any thoughts about waypipe.

It would be good if you could even just link to the feature requests you might have given on their forum/bug tracker/issues. And not Discord links. I for one, am not opening them.

I wish my government did that too.

What will they be doing for civil engineering though? Are the Open Source alternatives adequate for the engineers spoiled by specialised tools that provide most of the building calculations?

They might even be trying to get an enrichment plant while they are at it, who knows?

Make sure the browser is made using Rust and run on a VM running on Linux, compiled to WASM.

Get desalination plants and a closed loop manufacturing process and all you need to care about is energy.

Navigation is a need.
It can be done without JS

You don’t even need to be competent. Being obsessed works too.

The problem is, a manager will just get an intern with 0 web experience and hand them WordPress.
