  • Arch Linux. First on i3, later on wayland with Sway, where I had lots of flickering, so I’d use XFCE (with x11) specifically for Fusion work (so log out and log in with xfce when i wanted to use fusion). and now Niri, which works well enough for flickering, but has issues with fusion 360’s modal windows not being in the right place, so i use a Labwc window inside Niri and force Fusion to run in that, mostly because i grew tired of switching to xfce. I would recommend xfce if you want less hassle. Haven’t tried with gnome or kde.

    Do you remember what issues you had? Whenever i had trouble in the past (e.g. with logging in), i usually found a solution in the github issues (i guess both GH aud codeberg issues now that the project moved)




  • I’ve been using it through wine for two years now, using this repo.

    It works surprisingly well, sometimes there’s some flickering, but not enough to prevent me from working. It gets a bit slow to react on big assemblies, though that might also be the case on windows. logging in is a pain, luckily that’s only every 1-2 months (you need to log in on the homepage, copy the login id and run a cli command with the id, within the 30 seconds before the id expires. Usually takes me 2-3 tries because i forget it after 2 months). it not seeing linux drives and having to copy files from/to wine’s drive_c is a bit annoying.

    but overall it’s good enough, haven’t booted the windows partition in those two years and I’m willing to deal with this to be windows free. But if i had to use it professionally as a daily driver, that would probably be different.

    I did have to reinstall it twice in the two year period, though.





  • This is one of the big issues i have in my job. I’m on a dev team but a majority of the people around here are research data scientists. And a shitty 1000 line python script with zero regard for quality, that only really produces a bar chart as output and is never used again after 6 months is all they ever work with. And LLMs are amazing for that. But these data scientists don’t seem to understand that not all software is like that. So it’s really hard to have a real conversation about it.

    And wouldn’t you know it, these are some of the same kind of people building this stuff and pushing the vibe coding narrative.








  • How does calling the bets on those platforms actually work? Is it employees that need to decide which outcome happened? And can anyone make a bet? If so, how do they keep up with all the bets and even just knowing that a bet is ready to be called?

    [edit]
    ok, i decided to research this myself (so much for the wisdom of crowds).

    some platforms have an admin pick what option was the outcome.

    And some have a board of traders that vote on what the outcome was(maybe with votes weighted by how many shares of some token they own…)

    so yeah, some admin on the platform or a few users are the ultimate arbitrer of truth, which sounds stupid to me. Especially since any ambiguity of the wording of the bet is up to them to figure out.

    this page had nice examples of kalshi and polymarket resolution ‘failing’. Was also not surprised that polymarket uses crypto for resolution, of course there’s crypto involved in this somehow… it really fits the online gambling theme
