You can tell if someone is a computering supergenius if their solution to a difficult problem looks like nothing.

Lisp is six functions. Forth is 200 bytes. Unix is just tiny programs and text files. The original web is just a hacked SMTP server sending SGML files. And yet, it does *that*.

The huge, complex stuff--Windows, Java, the modern web--is all the work of mediocre thinkers with big budgets and too little time.

@suetanvil as a proud #OpenSCAD user, I find it funny, when big commercial CAD software makes such a big deal out of their new revolutionary parametric design capabilities

What are people using for 3D CAD modeling on linux these days? Once upon a time I did this (for a 3D print) and I remember using something that was pretty easy to learn and a nice balance between point and click & parametric geometric construction. I don't remember what I used though. I think for this bicycle restoration project I'm going to have to have a freewheel removal tool CNCed. Should I be using OpenSCAD? FreeCAD? Something else?

i just can't figure out UI of all these fancy 3D modeling tools. probably my brain just isn't wired as they expect. i'm using #OpenSCAD now and it's such a joy! maybe it takes longer than if i knew how to use something like FreeCAD but it still gets the job done.

After working on it for almost 9 months. I recently finished my hardest build yet. I've written a blog post about it. (Warning, long). Grab a cuppa and have a read.

Having another go at building my #Cheerlights colour chooser that will sit outside on my garden wall for passersby to press to change my garden lights and the zillion others in the world at the same time

I did come up with a #tag for it last time I tried as got a few other people to make some but since I completely deleted my bad place account, I've no idea what I used - suggestions welcome :)

I finally know how to efficiently create decorations that are bent along a rounded rectangular path. #openscad #creativecoding #3d #3dprinting

Also have you seen this neat little #OpenSCAD program that you give it a list of screw hole locations and it automatically generates a 3D printable PCB mounting frame baseplate with standoffs? It's really slick!
