  • It’s quite different. I’m a programmer and find it substantially better suited to my mental model than FreeCAD. Don’t get me wrong, I respect FreeCAD – even envy it a bit and all the features – but I need to imagine my shapes and describe how they fit together. I spend so much of my free time thinking of equations that product shapes (yay game dev) that it comes pretty naturally.

    If you don’t program or prefer a more visual, arguably professional, workflow, you probably won’t like OpenSCAD.


  • I think back to times I’ve eaten a thing and remember the sensation, then try replaying the feeling to see if it would be just as satisfying.

    At the moment, I’m in the mood for a snack. I’m thinking about the dried fruit I had yesterday and the sensations it elicited when I ate it. Those same sensations of flavor and texture sound agreeable, so I’m thinking that would be nice.

    Not everyone has this form of recall all the time. Some people have it intermittently. I asked my partner what she wanted to eat and she said she could not tell if she was hungry or if any food sounded good. I took this as a warning and we stopped at the nearest restaurant immediately. Fortunately, this was the right decision and we both felt better afterwards.

    If you’re feeling hungry, imagine the smells of a food. Sense memory tends to run deep in people. If you find that you can’t recall or reject a sensation, that’s okay! Plenty of folks are in the same situation.


  • Being around people feels like I’m holding my breath. Anyone. Even the person I’ve been dating for over a decade. But I need so desperately to be alone so I can breathe.

    When people mistreat their significant others it triggers something in me. I overcompensate, doting on my SO. I make dinner, bake treats, clean, take care of doggo, and work full time. I get from Friday night to noon on Saturday for myself, and those are the only hours of the week where I feel like I can relax.

    I care about my partners. I only want the best for them, but I’m so tired.








  • No. I think the general consensus is that C# is faster.

    From the devs: “According to some preliminary benchmarks, the performance of C# in Godot — while generally in the same order of magnitude — is roughly ~4× that of GDScript in some naive cases. C++ is still a little faster; the specifics are going to vary according to your use case. GDScript is likely fast enough for most general scripting workloads. C# is faster, but requires some expensive marshalling when talking to Godot.”

    The cases where GDScript are faster consist of those where there’s a great deal of marshalling and unmarshalling, like with heavy engine calls and signaling. If you’re doing compute heavy work.

    GDScript is still plenty fast, so use the one that’s most comfortable.


  • Define “know”. I know the woman downstairs from me and her dog. I know the couple actually the hall and their dog. They just had a baby and I don’t know the name. I know the guy down the hall from me. He’s a good guy. I know the woman down the hall the other way and the guy on the same side. The other two units are rented on and off. New people. I forgot the name of the two folks that just moved in. Haven’t met the ones on the other side yet.

    Knowing names and small things? Is that to know someone?

    There are over a million people within 15km of me, so that’s not much.
