Nice big font for my aging eyes.

You say it's pretty much never worth it to make layouts for foldables/tablets. To be worth it, could mean multiple things. But for the love of perfection, the craft of coding, and of UI design, I think it's totally worth it.

Oh gosh, it leaves the edge exposed. Crazy.

I would not, under any circumstance, use that official case.

My experience; I walked with an iPad Pro in my hand and I went to an interview, so I was a bit nervous. I let the iPad slip out of my hand. It had the official Apple cover, which leaves the edge exposed. So it falls, and drops such that it dents the side. This in turn cracks the display. I learned that Apple will not replace a display when the frame is damaged.


Sorry to hear that. I hope you got the job at least.

What do you mean? Would you want to unfold it, then put it in your pocket?

i mean that even when folded up, it looks really wide, and perhaps wouldn't fit well into my pocket

I thought you were joking but that's interesting, I hadn't realized it was so wide. So I looked it up; closed, it's 84 mm while my 14 Pro is 72mm. That's quite a difference.

My kid is in primary school, and there is one parent who did not give their child a mobile phone. In the WhatsApp group, they also keep promoting books and videos about how others also should do the same. The thing is, my kid doesn't seem to have the propensity to abuse their mobile phone and I bet most don't.

Ever drive by a school bus stop in the mornings? Groups of kids just standing around each other, not interacting, heads bent down towards their phones. It’s actually really strange, but we adults do it, too.

Why does a kid in primary school need a phone in the first place?

I thought it was just me. Super weird.


I hate this weird, manipulative and soft language.


Congrats with this achievement. Do you see it possible that this project can be integrated into, for example, FreeCAD?


CSG on meshes isn't really where FreeCAD struggles or focuses. That's more BRep, which is a harder problem than CSG.

Blender used to struggle with boolean operations, though. Seems to have got much better some time in the last couple of years, but without knowing any of the backstory I don't know if they've bodged it into shape or would benefit from something proven.


Blender uses the manifold library after years of petitioning


I think this would need to be reimplemented for performance. But maybe the spec can be reused. As agents get better we might reimplement the same spec for performance with minimal human effort. (See notes regarding performance and floats in readme.)


Does FreeCAD use triangle meshes? CAD is usually NURBS surfaces, which require similar algorithms but on curved surfaces.


He does it all: the YouTube face, the math floating around, non-working greenscreen, some memes and then he goes camping (including a Blair Witch style run through the snow). This is so brilliant.


> Wails for windowing (no Electron)

Awesome.

> AGPL

Even more awesome.
