I have a good friend who’s in the “hi end desktop cnc” bizness (with some very cheap models). Asked why he doesn’t do 3D printers (he designed plenty) and he told me the market is SO competitive and products so cheap it’s impossible to compete.

Designing a controller for his machines and as much as I would love to put the thing as OH, I don’t even think of it.

"by compiling OpenCascade (OCCT) to WebAssembly"

I wondered what geometry kernel it was going to use! Interesting to me how few of these there are. Some of the solid modeling stuff is nearly 40 years old (parasolid) this must be hard.

I’m doing a bit of BREP for GIS and even in 2D with line segments only the problem is really non-trivial, a lot of edge (pun intended) cases to take care of. Type system helps enormously, so probably rust will be a win here (I think I saw a project along those lines).

That being said, for CAD (personal usage) I switched from Fusion 360 to Freecad 1.0 with almost no project and the latter is an order of magnitude faster.

So how many planes will they get to crash while they figure things out?

The beauty and power of the Noether Theorem is what pushed me to theoretical physics.

I consider it one of mankind’s greatest achievement.

immmmmm commented on Conda: A package management disaster? pyherald.com/articles/16_... · Posted by u/osdotsystem

`uv` is not a drop-in replacement for `conda` in the sense that `conda` also handles non-python dependencies, has its own distinct api server for packages, and has its own packaging yaml standard.

`pixi` basically covers `conda` while using the same solver as `uv` and is written in Rust like `uv`.

Now is it a good idea to have python's package management tool handle non-python packages? I think that's debateable. I personally am in favor of a world where `uv` is simply the final python package management solution.

Wrote an article on it here: https://dublog.net/blog/so-many-python-package-managers/

I have been using pixi for half a year and it has been fantastic.

It’s fast, takes yml files as an input (which is super convenient) and super intuitive

Quite surprised it isn’t more popular

As someone that has been in the synth diy world for a quarter of century, I couldn’t agree more!

I suppose that by CAD you mean mechanical CAD, with which I have less experience.

On the other hand electronics CAD had been run mainly on Solaris decades ago, but for the last 20 years Linux has been the most likely host, including for the most expensive commercial professional solutions.

I have never heard of anyone using macOS for any kind of electronics design.

I do. With kicad and freecad 1.0rc. It is a joy and a pleasure.

Have you considered porting to the vacuum tube 1 bit / 1 Hz MC14500 clone?
