I used to have some problems with manjaro, fedora seems to also be working well for me though

Solvespace is amazing, the interface is probably the most consistent among any CAD program. Unfortunately volumetric operations (Union, subtraction ..) are kind of buggy sometimes.

But thats just because he is the most well known (and most annoying). If you were to look at the things they have actually done, bezos and Thiel are probably much worse

Funnily enough twitter just suddenly got much worse like a couple days ago for me, only pushing blue-check accounts so I might just finally stop using it

The tiling concept that was shown off some time ago for GNOME looks amazing

Ableton doesnt have a linux version right?

Im really very much just doing music production as a hobby, but even then ardour has some annoyances that make me look for an alternative

 

So for fun I made a water shader. The waves are done using sum-of-sines (or rather sum of sin^8), im using the depth texture for opacity based on water depth and the screen texture to fake refraction.

The cool thing about sum of sines is that the waves are very configurable, you can also create flatter water or less detailed waves by just changing the shader properties, or even create a water stream with a single flow direction.

I genuinely dont see the reason for a windows tablet without a stylus. Note-taking is nice with a stylus but for just holding it and watching videos or browsing a surface is honestly too unwieldly and the windows touch interface is also not great.

I was just trying to make an argument that imaginary numbers were technically not necessary and thus it makes historical sense that they werent seen as something 'real'. Im not trying to get people to stop using them ;)

I said that any calculation in electrodynamics CAN be done without imaginary numbers, I never said that it would be the most common or convenient way of doing things.

If you use a different form of solution to maxwells equations, electrical impedance can totally be expressed as just another real property. Fourier transform also is not necessary to solve maxwells equations or any other physical systems. It just might make it significantly easier and more convenient.

Obviously imaginary numbers existed and where used way before quantum mechanics was a thing but they werent technically necessary in physics because they never appeared in the equations of fundamental theories (Maxwells equations, general relativity, newtonian mechanics)
