Onshape, like Shapr3D, is based on Parasolid and works on desktop and mobile. They added MCP support a few months ago and there’s a lot of people who use it professionally for cabinetry etc. Even before they added MCP support, the way everything can be customized through the FeatureScript language has led to libraries of custom features for woodworking. If everything you’re working on is for fun (non-commercial), your Onshape license is free.

Many things I knew, and a bunch I didn't. Thanks for that.

I wish he'd spent a little more time on the fundamental issue of CR vs CR/LF vs LF. That's been a "plain" text nightmare since before Unicode and many of the other complexities existed.

I notice that you have answered in considerably less time than the duration of the video.

I almost always watch things on 2x.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked layers inside your layers.

I love when people complain about X being in their feed on social media, and I see none of X. Do they not understand the basics of the algorithms? The more you engage with X, the more they show it to you.

That said, there's an insane amount of garbage self promotion on LinkedIn for individuals and companies which amount to your mom putting up your messy crayon drawing of you pet cat on the refrigerator as a kid. It's only impressive to you and your family, and it's not a remotely accurate picture of your cat.

I’m excited to see this, but switching many of the examples from “dark” to “light” or “print” theme leaves the boxes black and the text unreadable.

Themes in the playground examples are fixed!

Thanks, I think I see what the issue is!

There's also Raven which is an AI tool built on top of Rhino3D.

I hope this works out. It seems helpful but we can’t even get a lot of web sites to format their user/password fields or address fields to work correctly with password managers and autofill. This has to be more complicated than that.

Yes, and the form fillers are also terrible. I have and need a street and number field. Iphone puts the number behind the straatnaam and leaves the huisnummer field empty.

If enough websites have duplicate functionality it should most likely be implemented in the browser.

Let Mozilla or Alphabet define an API for country addresses and let national registers implement it.

Having some tiny website buy a db with an outdated version of ALL the worlds addresses is terrible. People with new addresses buy a disproportionate amount of stuff.

I get some useful industry news, and info about what colleagues are up to there. There's a lot of noise - and that noise is getting more and more cringe - but there's a certain amount of signal that makes it worth it.

Any workspace, real or virtual, descends into messy chaos without someone actively organizing or cleaning things up. It's bad enough by yourself, but the minute it's shared with others, it will devolve quickly. Think about any shared file system, data library, workshop, kitchen, etc...

This is why librarians, janitors, lab managers, document controllers etc. are essential to make spaces functional and organized.

Right after graduation, I worked at a large company that had Data Stewards whose job it was to enforce standardized schema registration for all company datasets following the standardized field names and descriptions from the ontology explorer.

I didn't understand the purpose at the time, but then I landed at a company that had no documented schemas for any dataset and kept adding columns and it drove me mad.

Why not just use Google Docs? The history is recorded. There are even plug ins which will play it back so you can see it.
