Was about to say the same. It's really a slideshow – and that being on an M1! Can't imagine how much worse it probably is on Windows.

Very cool project, but obviously missing (too) many great castles. I'm not sure if that way of measuring popularity is really well done.

Missing a lot, at least three around my home town.

Just hoping the maildir and proper Gmail-like threading comes soon finally.


Dumbcad line barf will not help you with that at all.

There already is a format that is plain text and preserves the semantics: IFC. That's what it was made for.


We’re not just dumping primitives, we extract full CAD context including entities, layers, blocks, colors, and topology. That metadata allow reconstruct structure deterministically. IFC is great when available, but in most real-world pipelines DWG is still the source of truth, often degraded. Our focus is making that usable without relying on probabilistic vision layers. People depend on PDF for cad files due to its portability and to avoid software dependency/licensing, we aim solving that, any machine or pipeline that needs CAD or GIS data for analytics, search, or reasoning can operate on our structured output without requiring a native CAD or ESRI license.


I concur. I had "inherited" the sets of my 10 years older brother, and they where a pain to play with. It was sometimes impossible to separate the pieces, especially if it were plates with no leverage and nothing to grip.


Another note to add here: The whole system was stupid, too! What do you mean, I can only give answers, but not comment?

While there is much more to say about SO's demise, the "interaction" on the platform was definitely not one of its strengths, either.


Comments have less visibility in moderation. This has made them spam / link farming targets in the past.

A lot of people come to Stack Overflow with the mindset that it is a forum to discuss something and have tangential discussions in the comments.

https://stackoverflow.com/tour

> This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.

The "no comments until you get a little bit of rep" is to try to help people realize that difference from the start.


Does anybody know which edition with the cheerful footnotes is referred here?


So weird that this is nowhere stated on the website at all. Was literally the first and only thing I was interested in. So bad.


And yet here we are in VSCode, still completely unhinged, not letting us have background colors in themes at all.

Apparently it's too technically complex :D (their words in the open GH issue, not mine)


Good luck to them!

On a nother note: still 1+ year(s) until we get a real email database (enabling gmail like thread view) in TB. [0]
