    In case anyone was scrolling by and is interested the quote is a bit misleading out of context, Marx isn’t saying we should do this, he is more saying that capitalism requires “us” to do this, while telling us if we just stop eating avocado toast we too could become part of the billionaire class. While of course they themselves would never live without these supposed needless things.

    Read it in context here Need, Production and Division of Labor, this link is directly to the section the quote is from but in my opinion the formatting isn’t as good.


  • It sounds like you are looking for more of a pattern designing tool. There are open source projects that might be more suited to this than freeCAD. Try searching online for “open source textile pattern software”

    I can’t vouch for this program/project as I am not involved nor have I used it; but Velentina sounds like it is capable of doing what you mentioned.

    The sketchers in freeCAD can be used to draw and constrain the patterns, and then print them to scale and cut them out to see how it works.

    (Note I have not tried to print to scale from freeCAD specifically but I would imagine it is more then capable of doing so assuming your sketches are smaller then the paper you are printing on)

    Of course freeCAD can be used to do the physical modeling but I am unaware of any tools that would specifically assist you for textile pattern designs. The closest tool that I am aware of is the sheet metal workbench.

    Hopefully this was helpful.

    Someone else might be able to suggest a freeCAD specific solution but this might help get you started.



  • Maybe I am wrong or my understanding is oversimplified. But the way I understand it is that when you add a dependency to your cargo.toml file, when you run the build rust is going to cargo and downloading those dependencies you added for you and stores the dependencies with project files.

    Then when you rebuild it is checking cargo to see if there is a later version and will update according to how you specified the version in the cargo.toml file.

    So you are using cargo. it’s basically just automated, so you don’t have to manually interact with cargo the same way you do with pip.

    It depends on how fancy of a website you are trying to make. But check out something like Hugo or Jekyll. I haven’t used Jekyll personally but have used Hugo. There are plenty of templates to get you started depending the type of content you are planning on putting up.

    And the best part is you can host the site for free on GitHub or Gitlab, so the domain name is the only cost.



  • The thing that I don’t understand about self driving is the need for it to be this high tech super computer thing.

    Especially in the case of a tunnel why not just have it drive on a wire like robots and fork trucks in factories do currently.

    Outside of the system to track the wire all you need are the sensors which a lot of new cars already have for keeping distance with variable cruise control and automatic braking.

    Or hell it’s a tunnel just make it a conveyor belt like the car wash.

    Or i don’t know, maybe some sort of electric underground tram system. You can even give it a fancy sci-fi name like “rapid subterranean transit system.”








  • The MPC is a standalone unit. It is a DAW so you don’t need a PC. You can make an entire song on it without ever needing a pc or external editing software, you can connect instruments mics right to it. It’s basically a portable studio.

    You can even download updates, instruments, sample kits right on the unit.

    It is annoying tho since they started adding features to the PC version of the software that aren’t available in the standalone versions. But you get access to them if you own the hardware.
