I find Lunduke tends to over dramatize things, even if there is usually an element in truth in what he's saying.

Side note: I'm not a conservative.


The divide is so big now, this will not work the way they think it will work. Politics is no more "a matter of opinion" now, it is more like "to be or not to be".

The only way they can make this work is to replace the wrongthinkers with agreeable employees.


None of the `toonified` images shown on the page looks like the person in the photo.

OTOH I could immediately guess if you've shown me one of these photos: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=leonardo+di+caprio+toon&iax=images...


Yeah, I was hoping it was going to be trained on photo -> cartoon of same subject by some known cartoonist. Could be a fun profile photo that makes it look like x paper's cartoonist has thought you significant enough to warrant a cartoon.


Strange. I checked again and it works.


Best of both worlds is to design top-down and build bottom-up. By design I don't mean something abstract, it should be translated into code sooner rather than later.


From one Blender user to another; learning curve is not really steep compared to 3DS and Maya. Not noticeably steeper at least.


I don't agree. For starters, the more traditional UI of Maya is easier to grasp than Blender's. That's quite a difference that makes the learning process much easier for Maya.


Yup, both max and maya have such a 'traditional' (for lack of a better term) kind of UI - it's (for the most part) intuitive, whereas blender's just appears to be spread out all around the sides of the screen and it just feels like a mess. Even the basic aspect of interacting with the viewports is weird, why is there a crosshair, why can't I drag things around; what the hell is this weird lasso thing?


Blender is definitely odd and quirky compared to Maya or Max. All of them have a steep learning curve, but Blender is weird on top of being complicated.


    This is not going to be one of these catchy titles, 
    so “what kind of bs am I going to read here” has 
    little use in this place. Actually, this is 100% 
    true that contributing to the open source community
    might greatly affect your life
How to say one thing and communicate the exact opposite.


Well, if you say that this post was all about bs then I won't disagree with your opinion, as you have a right to say so :).


I presume you are the author. Listen...

Free software has changed my life for the better. A LOT of people have had very similar experiences.

We dream and worry about and hope and fight for and code for and watch and love the future history of humanity as it blossoms and twists and writhes into everyone's lives.

Software is eating the world. Free software developers are influencing that event (a little?).

Just seeing it and knowing it changed my life. It changed the eyes with which I see the world. So I thought I knew what your post was going to be about.

Keep looking, spetz. :)


Thank you for this well-written answer :).


Why can't so easy for you that you can lose yourself in it fall within neither too easy or too hard range?


Because it fails to emphasize that there is any difficulty at all.


I wanted to give you an answer and started following down the call trail:

    https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L75
    https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/RT.java#L661
    https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/PersistentTreeSet.java#L51
    https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/RT.java#L667
Then I gave up. I am curious too. Where I left off, we had a Cons cell. And I am hoping it will get converted to a set later (via empty).
