I built one less challenging in Java some years ago.

kubeadm is so much easier than the hard way if you are doing this for the first time.

I found it odd coming from tools like Macromedia Fireworks or Coreldraw because I was expecting to add shapes, fill and pan objects in the canvas. But as soon as I grasped the difference between vector based and raster based tools and why layers are important it became easy.

You can still run GIMP on Mac. I do and love it.

You can, but there are lots of better options available.

Free and Open source? Please which ones do you recommend?

If you’re dead-set on using FOSS, why switch to the Mac in the first place? Wouldn’t you stick with Linux and use GIMP (or maybe Krita, which is usually a better alternative)?

GIMP is not really a good image editor, when you compare it to the alternatives and include paid alternatives in the comparison. From my memory of using Photoshop, I’d say that GIMP is roughly equivalent to Photoshop 3.0, which came out in 1994, although it is missing some core features from Photoshop 3.0 (and prior versions—the workflows that I used in Photoshop 2.5 are unworkable in GIMP, as far as I can tell, and it’s extremely frustrating to try and use GIMP for basic tasks).

Krita. I think it's way better than GIMP

Krita is a painting app comparable to Corel Painter. You can't compare it with GIMP or Photoshop.

Doesn't matter. People have work to do with tools, not list out all the features. If Krita works for the person, there's no reason to use Gimp or Photoshop.

Whether it works for you isn't the criteria by which you should judge whether something is better or not. A hammer is also better than the GIMP at hammering a nail, but because I only need to hammer nails doesn't make the GIMP worse at what it does than a hammer.

Krita is better for people who need to do a lot less than what the GIMP is capable of doing.

If Krita works for the person it implies neither Gimp or Photoshop were exactly the right tool to begin with, since Krita is oriented towards a different set of tasks than Gimp/Photoshop

That's a great observation. Maybe GIMP needs to focus on doing simple things in a simple way.

Yes you can. I've done a lot of photo editing in Krita. My cameras output 12-bit raw images, which for a long time GIMP could only work with by truncating to 8-bit. Krita has been able to work with higher bit depths for a long time.

People do photo editing in Krita just like people do painting in Photoshop. Both tools can do both, as can GIMP, it's just that most of Krita's new features of the last few years have been focused on painting.

Krita is more than enough for a lot of photo editing needs, which are basically cropping, resizing, applying color filters etc - for those operations Krita is much more straightforward than GIMP.

Also if what you said matched reality, Corel Painter would still exist in a meaningful way in 2020 but most artists migrated to Photoshop for their painting needs in 2007

> Krita is more than enough for a lot of photo editing needs, which are basically cropping, resizing, applying color filters

If it's your definition of photo editing then any freeware (ie: xnview, windows' image viewer...) can do this. You don't need Photoshop - which is pro high end software - to do this kind of basic stuffs.

I doubt xnview and windows' image viewer allow to correct the perspective but maybe I'm wrong ?

I'd also be surprised if they allowed to change the white balance or do color curves - especially when you look at the amount of super powerful filters come with GMIC, which itself comes with Krita. They also most certainly don't have a "Repair" tool like Krita does (https://streamable.com/p5dd1k).

I know, I don't do as much photo editing anymore and there are some better integrated/ Mac friendlier options that take care of my needs for just a few bucks.

I love FOSS, but I also like creative/ great products by small to mid-size indie developers like Pixelmator. For what I do, it's fantastic, they have a iPad app too which is where I do most of my photo editing.

The benefits of reducing the overall car weight will be huge. For this to be viable one has to think carefully about what happens when a high impact occurs. How easily replaceable will the cells be in the event of damage? A local damage should not result in an overall damage to the vehicle. How will the batteries be cooled?

Does it make sense from a manufacturing process and cost perspective?

Micromanaging might be one way to salvage a project that may have suffered due to inexperience on the part of the ones it was delegated to. In an ideal situation, to avoid micromanaging altogether, a manager must have extremely capable team members that are aligned with the common goal.

If the problem is that the members aren't aligned with the common goal, micromanagement would be a sure-fire way to get them to quit.

Doing the right things === What we are doing;

Doing things right === How we are doing what we are doing

It looks amazing already, however another fun thing to do will be to vary the light intensity over time to make it more like the sun.

Then you need to vary the spectra as well.

I find random errors that are hard to replicate in a consistent fashion the most difficult bugs to track down. A while back, a wordpress site I manage would respond with cipher text for certain pages randomly. After several moments of frantic efforts to fix this, I noticed the issue was that a plugin was doing caching, gzip compression while wordpress was trying to serve pages on https.
