@jwz @marcan @whynothugo this question is posed totally inside out anyway. The argument is *why switch*? What’s the value proposition? The strong-arming and X11-shaming is because the value proposition of wayland is weak. I’ve switched to it twice, and back, as the list of broken things each time was absurd.

Playing around with both Kakoune (https://kakoune.org/) and Helix (https://helix-editor.com/): pleasantly surprised that they both include Zenburn themes OOTB (https://kippura.org/zenburnpage/)

@mhoye that’s cool. I used to have a shell alias to gnu grep to do the same thing. Something weird like this works (telling I can’t remember exactly what): grep —color “($@|)”

@jwildeboer :) I’m glad it went well. I did my first customer thing in forever last July, (in the fair city of Ingolstadt) and it was hard, daunting work!

@jwildeboer that’s a lot of champagne for one person ;)

Did GitHub choose its name due to Pornhub ? If so that’s an odd legacy to carry into the modern times

Just stumbled across a medium article by a web developer which opened with a sentence pointing at the “self hosted version”; the link was broken. This was from 2018.

@jameschip same. Although I’m wondering if kakoune or helix might turn my head. I keep meaning to give them a try

@neil @kly graphviz = dot

@torsten thank you. I’ll try to salvage something constructive and get it out next week perhaps

@mfraz74 that’s very true; the current slicing does a lot to degrade this style of model

I've published my OpenSCAD module to generate randomized, chunky, game-like terrain. It's called "Zarchscape". Available at https://jmtd.net/3dprinting/ (CC BY-SA 4.0). #3dprinting

@cybervegan I’ve never tried CAD Query. I’ll have to give it a look! My background is in functional programs and two niche tools in the 2D space: https://jmtd.net/wadc and https://jmtd.net/doom/liquorice

I’ve been writing a blog post which is quite critical of aspects of openscad’s design but I’m starting to think I can’t be arsed to finish it and might redraft just to show off the model I designed instead #3dprinting
