How long would it take to spin up an injection molding line? Aren't there parts that exist that are easier to 3D print, due to overlapping elements or internal geometry which require additional manufacturing steps when…
I found it hilarious when a LA based startup compared their pricing structure to a 'nice meal' (50-100$) Not only did it insult my definition of a 'nice meal', but also made me not want to give them any more money for…
I think the catch all term for that is YAGNI.
I agree, especially for signage. Although don't most university's encourage the opposite? Also short comments seem unconstructive online.
Oh, it's not just Avid. Some audio production software such as ReFX Nexus still uses a USB dongle. There is no way to use the software without it plugged in. It also has a policy where if you damage the dongle, you have…
The amount of time required to 'learn' the Google interview would be time that could be spent learning more universally applicable skills. Is it true that an experienced developer would not be able to pass the interview…
I've seen so many awful standards in my time when it comes to comments. Most of the time it's NIH syndrome, or people who love arbitrary rules. People love to make/follow rules, but comments are too nuanced for…
I'm completely the inverse, the ordering is the most convenience part of shopping already, the hardest bit is taking delivery. Me. I order my Queal (powdered soylent) in massive quantities. I've actually got a year…
Don't try to use logic against hardcore environmentalists. Plastic == bad. This is a bad website to be honest, as ordering consumables off Amazon least environmentally friendly ways to distribute them. Far better to…
I enjoy painting. I recently got a load of acrylic paints, hardwood panels, canvases, and an easel. Definitely not something that can fit in luggage. There are some hobbies that fit the minimal lifestyle. Say digital…
https://medium.com/@eventbrite/mobile-safari-whyyyy-73cf6103... Here's a fix and description of the issue, but yes. The bottom of the screen will take trial and error. I've been messing around with fullscreen modals for…
I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. :-)
It doesn't look good on a portfolio. If the mockups are boring then you have done your job well. The problem is that mockups that stand out, are what gets steak-holders interested. Some of my design work involved…
I would be very much interested if working on a cruise ship for a season (9 months) would decrease my life expectancy.
They are very secretive about what goes into those paints, they don't list the pigments on the tube, and when asked state it is a 'proprietary formula, developed over several years of extensive R&D'. Not that I don't…
Purely to avoid confusion. Ivory black is present in most starting sets, wheras Mars Black is the non-default black. They have very slightly different color temperatures
No other yellow comes close to the opacity of cadmium though. Unless you ingest it, I'm pretty sure the toxicity is a minor point. For watercolors where you want transparency, Hansa Yellow (PY3) is a better choice, and…
Pigments are used more for paints, and I don't believe that markers and watercolor pencils base their naming on them. I've got a set of Derwent Inktense 'watercolour' pencils, and the naming is rather whimsical, and…
The other fascinating thing is light-fastness. PR83 (Alizarin Crimson) is a cool red (purple facing), and is recommended by many art teachers... It's also objectively shit as a pigment. It is not light-fast at all, and…
So now we make PB29 (ultramarine) synthetically, and you can get tubes of ultramarine paint for around $5 for 250 ml of the stuff! This is purer than any artist could have gotten back then! We also manufacturer other…
Braid and Witness could have been written in Unity though. I'd argue that dealing with high level concepts such as game/level design and art direction and low level stuff like graphics and rendering simultaneously is…
I never suggested left-pad myself, but what I would do is copy and paste a function off stack-overflow, name it appropriately, and encapsulate it, maybe write a test that is the flavour of the month. Then leave a link…

I read an article regrading this recently... With junior engineers, they are selling themselves. With senior engineers, the company has to sell itself to them instead.
Redux still baffles me. I've implemented it 4 times, and it still confuses the hell out of me. MobX is a much better fit for most react apps IMHO. Redux could be good, if you have a database [id] driven application, but…
