I don’t necessarily disagree, but it would be silly to compare roads to high speed rail. One has a much higher barrier cost to entry while the other model offsets the cost by distributing it across the population. Yes, yes I know. I’m not saying one is better than the other. I’m just explaining the roi based on the startup cost. But yes, of course the benefits of infrastructure extend beyond the price to manage it. But there comes a point when the return is negative. Many of the Chinese high speed branches are crossing extended distances to literally nowhere. Only a portion of the network is serving an extremely densely populated area. So it’s a bit of column a and a bit of column b.

You’re right! Why stop at putting suicide nets at foxcon! We could make that global!

Listen: I hate liberal capitalism as much as the next lemmy user, but lets not pretend China is some paradise of labor rights

The reality is the high speed rail it China is not solvent and is operating at a tremendous loss. That’s just reality. The question is if that loss serves a larger benefit to Chinese society. It’s a gamble either way.

You da goat

Yea of course. As professionals our window to do tech support is limited.

Oh yes. I can’t comment but I’ve heard that from other sources as well. Bummer

I’m curious how DaVinci resolve’s fusion page compares?

You beat me to it. The moment someone makes a FOSS cad program where the ui doesn’t suck a donkeys ball they will be the goat

Thanks!!

Is there any way to see a list of all the cool projects NASA is working on? This is the first I’ve heard of this lunar orbit station

It’s Ok for small shops that do local projects. When you start working on large commercial projects you have 4-5 teams (architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, civil engineers, irrigation consultants) with each team involving 7-12 people then the pipeline gets complicated fast. Standardization is the only way to get projects out the door in a timely manner. We’re already struggling with in-house autodesk products that already struggle to talk to each other bc autodesk sucks haha

It’s not streamlined, fast, or integrated well with other platforms/programs. Most of all, our adjacent consultants need to work in dwg. The whole industry pipeline is built around Autodesk products unfortunately and they own the market

Haha I would love to. But I would have to get all my teams - and there are many - to switch. I also tried FreeCAD. It’s OK for hobbyists but it’s unusable for architecture… C’est la vie

I’ve ran windows and linux side by side in the past. It was OK. I just wish the big names would get on board already (Adobe, autodesk, etc)

Ugh. Sounds like a lot of work. I’ll think about it

I want to ditch windows so bad, but I can’t run any autodesk products on Linux atm… Revit, Autocad… Sad noises

Oh man, I heard it also funded the fake moon landing.

Marvelous Miss Maisle is solid from om beginning to end. Not a minute, scene or note is wasted. The writers know how to pack every scene with as much energy and storytelling as possible. Just perfect.

I like Darktable but found RawTherapee to be more usable. For me Darktable 4 was way too many clicks for what should be a one click - everywhere. But it is very powerful. Just the ui gave me headache

Yea. I agree. There is a nice median and really strong extremes. But those extremes sometimes hog up the convo.
