It's not that uncharacteristic. Mono is a fully open source project they didn't create, didn't really work on, and one they can't extract any value from. So this is basically a gesture that doesn't cost them anything, but at the same time it doesn't do much except generate a headline.
I think they meant you don't know what the binary is called because it doesn't match the package name. I usually list the package files to see what it put in /use/bin
in such cases.
If you made a dollar a day from the time the dinosaurs were killed by the asteroid till today you'd still only have 10% of what he has.
Falcon?
Someone found a way to weaponise bikeshedding.
Linux and a windows virtual machine with a dedicated nvme hard drive and GPU using PCI pass-through. Windows is boxed in but easily accessed when you need it, and the performance is 95% of native, or more. And because of the dedicated hard drive, you can still dual-boot it like normal if you want.
Also, I recommend installing windows 10 enterprise in the VM, minimal bloat.
I believe they're called "logicool" in Japan. So maybe it's some form of logo consolidation.
It's not just about hardware compatibility. It has to be compatible with existing workflows, and it's currently very limiting.
Yeah OpenCASCADE is amazing because it's the only real geometry kernel that's open source. There's a few smaller ones like solvespace, but they're really more like toys. It's like the Linux of the CAD world.
Writing a geometry kernel is a monumental task, not unlike writing a real os kernel or a modern web engine. I've seen people just lay the basic foundations of a kernel as their PhD thesis. Most of the commercial ones were written decades ago and are still being worked on - the big ones are Parasolid ACIS, ShapeManager, CGM. The last one would maybe be considered a newcomer cause it's only 15-20 years old.
How did you pay with PayPal on AliExpress? They haven't supported it in years?
That's just embarrassing.
