    Fucking goddamn I’d love to have a replacement to fusion 360 so I never had to touch windows again. FreeCAD is just awful, I keep coming back to it and keeping finding new issues with it. OpenSCAD is cool and useful for simple stuff, but it is not performant in the slightest and the lack of ability to fillet or chamfer edges is insane. Blender is great for 3d modeling but doesn’t work well for engineering modeling.



  • I was sick and tired of not having full remote storage access after losing logistics pipes, we had refined storage and a computercraft peripheral mod for it so I wrote a server and client for remotely requesting items to be delivered via ender chest using the computer craft ipads and the computercraft internet. You’d type in a search query and it would display the top 10 items in the network containing that query and how many there were, then you’d pick the one you wanted from that list by entering its index, then you’d enter the quantity






  • The tone of this comment is frustrated at web development and the software industry in general, not angry at you.

    God fucking damn if you’re developing it in a web stack then just make it a fucking goddamn website! Stop making me have ro have yet another goddamn chromium instance open so that you can have a more invasive data harvesting program! You might be making things “easier” (I’ll get to that in a second) on yourself by developing it in a familiar area, but you’re just offloading the cost of not doing a proper goddamn job writing your program in an appropriate language onto the people running it!

    As for it being easier, JavaScript is a goddamn fucking nightmare. Low level threading stuff like you work on is a different flavor of pain in the ass, hard to compare magnitudes. JavaScript is single threaded but cosplays as multithreaded and it’s awful, and the loose typing makes me appreciate having to type the equivalent of the wheel of time in java. There’s 2 situations in which it’s easier–you already have a website and want to make it into a desktop app (FUCK YOU!), and consistency on every operating system is number one on your priority list (which is becoming less and less valid as linux support gets easier and easier). Developing a program in a language unsuited for it makes it more difficult, not easier.

    I’m not angry at you here! I’m angry at companies putting everything out as electron apps and at doing front end webdev.
