Horizon is beautiful. The creator has also recently started working on a 3D modelling program (Dune3D) in the same style which I am very excited about.

I kind of wish he talked to us about doing a version of Solvespace using OCCT instead, but he's got a lot of good ideas and it will be nice to see where he goes with Dune3D. I can see its Solvespace roots!

Solvespace NURBS shells are completely separate from the sketch entities and constraints, so there's a fairly small API surface to make the change. That separation is also one of the issues preventing a fillet tool though.


Even before reading your comment, I was thinking how empty the "industrial accidents" sections on sites like LiveLeak would be without India and China.

I am never ever in my life going to those places. Death lurks in every corner of their infrastructure.

And you'll have to pardon me for drawing a connection between the plummeting standards in Western construction and the foreign workers - predominantly Indian - flooding this sector. It's not a coincidence.


Not sure where you live, it's worth noting that India and China combined have 8x the population of the United States, so certainly we'd expect something like 8x the number of "industrial accidents" there. Perhaps more, since we've offshored so much of our industry.


It's not so much the frequency as the nature of the accidents. There is an astonishing lack of regulations, safeguards, and standards (especially in Chinese videos) combined with an astonishing lack of situational awareness, foresight, and humility (especially in Indian videos).

Of course America has its unique videos too. Every place has its problems, that's what I find interesting about it. I like the unfiltered view into the underlying culture and psychology in these places that only "gore" videos can provide.



What could they possibly be reeling from? By your logic, that wasn't "colonization", but rather White Europeans enriching Africa with our vibrant culture and great food.

So what if the indigenous people are displaced, demoralised, dispossessed, marginalised, denigrated, etc? Nobody seems to give a damn for what indigenous Europeans are currently experiencing.

Please don't ask us to be empathetic to your dislike of a particular term considering the very real danger and harm being imposed on our entire race.


No competent embedded C programmer could write this article without explaining why "const" is not a useful defence against this imagined problem, much less avoid even using the term "const" once.


Seeing Fiddler takes me back to the UT days. Glad you're behaving yourself.
