I even have some cutsheets from an architectural modeling class (one of the school's career training elelctives). SubZero freezers and wine cabinets. Reminds me of why I didn't continue with it. Became abundantly clear that we were designing huge houses containing expensive things that only very rich people could afford and benefit from.

Maybe I would have more money now though if I had stuck with it. It was laughably easy to design these things if you had the right software and measurements. Way easier than writing software.

@kirschwipfel dope. thanks for letting me know 😁

@meejah that's kinda cool. If I ever used that though, I'd probably drop it the first chance I got in order to reduce dependencies. Would probably like it better as a code generation tool.

Found the #aqsis renderer source. I think I was playing around with #makehuman (a #blender plugin project for generating 3D models of human bodies) and that's why I had that. Cool to see MakeHuman isn't abandonware.

@lucifargundam oh, these are local. I noticed my backup drives were pushing a TB, so figured it's time to clean house.
I do have a long-term cloud backup though, encrypted with tools I understand. In case my house gets destroyed. You gotta have at least one offsite backup -- 3-2-1 rule and all that.

#firefox has accounts now? when did this happen? I've been on ESR for a while and hadn't noticed.

it's getting better, but only a working draft for now. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-page-3/#at-page-rule
if it helps, I've found webkit, and chromium specifically, has the best, most consistent results and the most flexibility in page styling and layout (e.g., you can use matchMedia to change the page just for print media or do page-based calculations)

(That said, you could make your life a lot easier by just using LaTeX and BibTeX for a CV)

i get that sometimes the customer tries to specify implementations, but it's part of the PO's job to steer them away from that.

although sometimes the customer or PO does know the best solution in some case, the place to suggest that is separate from where requirements are stated.

scrum pet peeve: product owners specifying implementation rather than relating requirements and user stories

apparently i played a game called "savage2" back then.

fascinating looking back at backups from high school. honestly, it's a strong argument for planning to filter what you backup and to rotate out the backups eventually. such garbage...

@freemo yeah, that tracks

@soup_reviews only for dramatic effect

@meejah yeah, I mean specifically its use as a way to mint these sort-of do-nothing objects, not just its use as a type

@kirschwipfel i use the pattern in the OP for mappings where the cost of lookup is significant (e.g., ZODB BTree), and where the standard "not found" value of None is a legitimate value to store, and I need to know it was stored. it's come up in a couple situations
