Can I use it for CAD files?


Mike Tyson has said that “discipline is doing what you hate like you love it” it’s a great quote that I always remember.


I found this thing like 6years ago on hn. Thanks! hands down best lightweight pdf editor ever!


Brainstorming. With all the talk about micro plastics, what happens if this type of enzyme is digested?

Does the type of process in the reaction and it’s byproducts do damage to us? Is AI actually out to get us lol


Works at 50°C - now I was about to write the AI made a mistake and wanted it to work at 50°F instead, but then this is also no healthy body temperature :)

Part of the world has already started hitting 50°C because of global warming. I guess world getting warmer would means higher chances of such bacteria evolving naturally. India and Pakistan have high population cities with huge waste dumps/land fills so this enzyme or similar evolving naturally is a possibility.


I would add more obfuscation and slowly make it impossible to learn. Have the emacs veterans talk about the old days slowly making it seem like all you had to do was install emacs and you were so productive that emacs wrote the programs for you! Then eventually the word emacs turns into an adjective describing the perfect program. To the point that instead of "Turing complete" we say "Emacs complete" then years in the future someone will ask "WTF is emacs?" and they will simply say it's god.


Best PDF for work, hands down. I don’t even download new I have had the same exe for like 5 years.


if you start to deal with powers of Good Thinking. You inevitably have to deal with the problems of Bad Thinking.


Are they not spraying up there to help mitigate this?


Question: How hard would it be to make to re-impletment freecad in wasm? Someone needs to break it out of qt or at least make it more customizable. Is this ever going to happen?


Have you tried it. Way different than freecad. You set constraint of equality or whatever. You leave it open ended and now you can add those same constraints in the 3D and transform your shape in this hybrid feel, that feels like your are modelling an equation with your hand.

That being said Freecad is way more versatile and you can do almost anything. Solve space is more like the equivalent of building a freecad model out of clay. You can always adjust it but you don’t end up with anything more usable than a stl file in reality, which you can then import into freecad lol.

Openscad and opencascade are for CAD program designers imho . Although version control is so appealing.


I love OpenSCAD for specific tasks like modeling microcontrollers against vendor datasheets. While this is not often required with commercial tools and conventional component suppliers, KiCad + chipageddon + being based in China means I've done quite a bit of that recently and it's been largely efficient, cross-platform and up to task. I am competent with Blender, but prefer OpenSCAD for this domain. Haven't really looked in to SolveSpace.


I have tried it, yes. You can add constraints to any parametric CAD software, like FreeCAD, OnShape, Solidworks, Fusion, etc.


> You can add constraints to any parametric CAD software, like FreeCAD,...

SolveSpace has a little bit different constraints solver.

There is Assembly3 worbench for FreeCAD, which is based on SolveSpace solver.[0]

Hmm, it's been a while since I last tried it, but I remember the constraints being pretty much the same as other software. Maybe I should try again.


It's just a different implementation of exactly the same idea. I've used every parametric CAD software that exists (more or less) and their sketch constraint solvers are generally indistinguishable. They only differ in small details - can you select the midpoint of a line? can you have mirror constraints? are they vaguely stable when underconstrained? etc.
