FreeCAD lets you do parametric modelling and well as seeing all of your changes while you're making them.

OpenSCAD is constructive solid geometry and you write a script then render it. You can essentially only create STL geometries with OpenSCAD, if you just plan to model and 3D print single parts OpenSCAD might be sufficient, anything more complex, particularly assemblies with multiple parts and you'll need a different CAD platform.

In general parametric modeling is far more popular it's how solidworks, onshape, fusion360, etc. work.


It sounds like your almost describing the Nym mixnet

The tradeoff is you necessarily need to smooth traffic bursts out to meet the fixed rate and that introduces high latency. Unfortunately most user traffic is bursty and not continuous.


"Bedtime" is an Apple feature that helps you manage sleep time. Basically you tell when you want to go to bed and wake up and it sets a reminder for bedtime and an alarm for wake up time, then it tracks how much time you sleep. I'm guessing people are saying "Bedtime alarm" to indicate it's the alarm that's set as part of the "Bedtime" feature.


Given that "Unfortunately the migration is done by disabling your existing alarm and showing a button to open the Health app to set it up again." this sounds more like improperly specified behavior than poorly implemented behavior to me. Unfortunately bad specifications aren't really caught in QA testing because that's what you're testing to. This probably should have been caught in beta testing, but the author might have a rare set of conditions that resulted in this behavior. Good beta testing is basically only done by have a really large userbase of testers. That said if apple wanted to improve this they probably have the capital to incentivize it through service discounts or something similar.


Venus has a permanent cloud layer of almost entirely sulfuric acid (H2SO4) so there is hydrogen available it just requires chemistry to get it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus


From the press releases today, the clouds of Venus are upwards of 80% sulfuric acid, and on earth the highest concentration of acid we've observed things living in is 5%.

All of the expert testimony I heard described Venus as far to acidic for any life on Earth [0]

Looking more into it, the problem seems to be that while the absolute amount of acid isn't that high the ratio of H2SO4 to H2O is super high and there just isn't very much of either in the Venus clouds. The absolute amount matters a lot if you're just stepping outside for a bit but ratio is the only important thing for theoretical floating bacteria since they have to get their working fluid somehow.


I think the same room is to have good signal strength to minimize dropped/repeated packets. The transmission time won't be noticeable but the signal to noise ratio may decrease fairly quickly with distance and obstacles.


As someone who has worked in an electronics lab and done lots of soldering, I can say your setup makes a huge difference. A great setup will make soldering SMD components a breeze, but a bad setup will make it very frustrating. Practice obviously helps but a nice soldering station with some kind of magnification will close the gap a whole lot faster.


Using a proper microscope for soldering was definitely one of the most useful things I learned as a high schooler interning in an electronics lab.

I am still surprised that this is not more common. Even a biology-grade binocular microscope for 100$-ish makes a huge difference.


you probably sign TOS as part of the installation of the binaries


clicking a button != signing your name


For a brief moment a thought this was a joke, but at only ~$392 Billion market cap Walmart really is the little guy compared to amazon (1.64 Trillion)
