Figma balls

Either that, or they expect to be releasing something stupid in the near future and are allocating the space for it early. ~8 gigs does sound suspiciously close to the size of an AI model.

I always read it like a leprechaun. What did the leprechaun say when it got kicked in the nuts? “OCH, ME’NARDS!”

My uni used Ubuntu in the CompE computer labs; unfortunately all other labs were windows. But the introduction to Linux was certainly nice!

This was the very last post on my Lemmy front page, which says something, I think

Are those 3D printed replacement caps or something?

I love it! I use a Model M daily for work and remapped my RAlt to a windows key.

Not sure they did… I’ve never even heard of it before until just now

I mean, someone was still bowing to it… just not multiple people

As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.

If Google had a baby she would drop it on its head spike it at the ground

After dating for six and a half years, that’s nuts!

I’ve got 3D pipes running on my spare Win10 machine :) fills me with nostalgia every time I see it, even still

I started with C++ too, and then ended up finding a job writing firmware pretty much all in C. There really hasn’t been anything we’ve run into that’s made us consider switching to C++; being able to (and needing to) have complete control over your memory means you can do some pretty fancy stuff with the tiny amounts of memory on our ASICs.

We’ve been eyeballing switching to rust a little bit, but really only for other applications; the root of our main code base is over 25 years old at this point and a rewrite would take a Herculean effort.

Meh? I write pretty much exclusively in C and honestly I still like C++ better, and wouldn’t mind switching to Rust either

We need more OPs like this, kudos

I tried fusion360 last week and it was broken; some big update they released broke it and now I just gagged to wait for it to get fixed, I guess. Will try it again in a month or so asked are if it’s fixed… but I’ve always had awful luck getting wine working. Same w/ photoshop

Honestly, kinda glad that my win10 PC “doesn’t have the specs” to run win11. Stupid, because I’m running an 18-core Xeon w/ 128 gigs of ram and a 2070 super, but of course the stupid TPM chip. But oh well, guess I won’t be able to get ads on my own product.

The bummer is I’ll likely need to install it on something because I occasionally need to go back to windows to use certain programs… maybe someday wine will work well enough to actually use reliably…

I’ve tried out FreeCAD and it’s decent - but it’s really tough to get a hang of. Ondsel has a bit of a better interface imo and is based directly off of FreeCAD. Maybe give either of those a shot?

Huh, that’s certainly interesting! The hacky solution ended up having to do with power states which is kinda annoying - I have to set the GPU to use max power state because if it goes into the min state and then I walk away for 5-10 mins, it drops out of the PCIe slot and I need to reboot. SSH still works but you can’t reattach it w/o a reboot. I’m running a PCIe gen 5 mobo though and I heard about some potential problems with that, so maybe that was related. Could also be the fact that I ran a Quadro RTX 4000 on the same system/OS for a year or so and didn’t want to do a full reinstall, so it probably had somewhat to do with leftover drivers and crap
