  I hate video links. The information could have been a few paragraphs of text that I could glance. Instead this much minutes of video that you can't search, glance over, read while listening to something else.. So it's a pass for me.

  Totally unrelated, these second black circles on the people in the background 🤣

  I wouldn't ever imagine to shed a tear for the processes I have killed in my whole life. I feel like a homicidal maniac.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are (rational) databases preferred over keeping the data in memory?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  First, persistency. You data lifecycle may not be directly proportional to your applications lifecycle. You may need it even after the app is shut down.

  Second, RDBM systems provide a well defined memory/storage structure and API - "structured query language". This enables you to easily query your data and acquire suitable views that are beneficial for your applications purposes.

  Third, It's always better to outsource your data layer to a battle tested, and trustworty database then trying to reinvent the wheel.

  So this paves a road for you to focus on your business logic than splitting that focus for the data layer and business logic.

  I see that the problem arises from the "visionary, but lower experienced newer developers (compared to the past generation) " trying to fix a world where "don't touch it if it works crowd who has seen all old timers" built, by putting each layer over the older one. It has all the capabilities, but there is no "single vision", no "well defined api".

  Old established paradigms are being broken. Some conventions are forgotten, new tooling and perspectives are being built.

  Sure this means there is an unfortunate clash is happening.

  I can't say if this is a better, or wiser world or not, however I can only say this is the way now. You can adapt, try to embrace and push forward things or you can try to stay away and become one of the legendary Cobol developer crowd. We know they are there in the wild, but we can't find them.

  Blender has great add-ons for 3dprinting too. And are you trying to advertise a software? With 3dprinting impossible shapes are possible, but overhangs are not one of them. You can use supports, you can reorient your design, you can use bridging..

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need advice about whether to dive in or not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on your patience If you are very impatient go for the 4 pro as it's built for faster printing. Otherwise they are very similar for print quality.

  I started 3d printing with resin printing too. But do you think it's a good entry point for op's this purpose?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need advice about whether to dive in or not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  CAD software is better suited for precision designing. I don't know if you would require that kind of presicion for board game parts. At least for early stages it may not be a requirement.

  I for one still use blender for kinda presicion 3d models.

  In fact Neptune 3 pro can be cheaper option. It would be slower to print but still create perfect prints. I do print with A Neptune 3 plus, a larger version of the 3 pro, and quite happy with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need advice about whether to dive in or not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose as you are a builder ( a game designer it's most probably is) it would be a great help to have a 3d printer at hand.

  Bambu printers,
  Elegoo neptune 4 series, Prusa mk3/4s are great ones to start with.

  I was not expecting a rabbit hole that deep. Who underwrite that api for shipping?

  It's nice to see that Mozilla had our backs on this. I always have been a happy Firefox user and now I am happier.

  I am an Elegoo user. Mars 2 Pro, Saturn 8k and a Neptune 3 plus. My anecdotal limited set of experience they just work.
