Thanks, that’s exactly how I took the photo. It was approaching sunset so I think the colors are a little yellow because of that and just how brown the river is. I adjusted the colors like the other comment suggested and I think it looks better:
Thanks, I’ve been practicing getting the focus sharp. It’s a tough battle between my phone’s autofocus vs manual bino adjustments and keeping the phone+bino stable. I still feel I have more work to do on that too.
I see cormorants all the time here too, I just loved how this one was screaming at something. On this walk, I saw only one cormorant but 60ish Canada geese (with a ton of goslings!), so the cormorant felt rare today. I also saw a blue heron but he flew too far away for me to get a good picture.
I would also recommend checking out salome. It has a parametric CAD module like you would be used to in SolidWorks. It felt a little less finicky to me than freecad , and I also think it has more controllable STL generation compared to freecad.
I think sometime went wrong with your KDE frameworks description. Looks like the some python notes got in there instead.
Love seeing all the updates! OpenSUSE has been working great for me.
I’ve been using SALOME to create parametric 3D geometry. My use case is to parameterize my geometry features and export to STL files that I use with OpenFOAM. SALOME is integrated with a couple of grid generators, and I really like it’s 2D/triangulation/STL integration with netgen. You can specify faces for refinement to a desired mesh size, so for example around complex features you can create a fine STL mesh and on simple shapes you can have a really coarse mesh.
I’ve found the 3D modeling to be pretty straightforward, and SALOME usually does a pretty good job if you have to go back and modify previous features (something I’ve struggled with in FreeCAD).
I’ve also used FreeCAD for mesh generation, and it works ok but I’ve found the triangulation leaves a lot to be desired for splitting up the mesh as needed for OpenFOAM boundaries.
If you’re making STL files for 3D printing and you want a parametric CAD modeler for engineering parts, give it a try. If you want complex faces with artistic style, I would suggest Blender.
I’ve had a couple jobs with RHEL workstations, and the university I went to had RHEL workstations too. Not sure what their market share is compared to canonical, but they definitely have a bunch of deployments on desktop.
Distrobox looks really interesting. Do you know the memory or CPU overhead for using it? I have older hardware. Will distrobox perform well on it? Thanks.
Vim for light work, emacs when I need more ide features. I program mostly in fortran, c , c++, and bash on remote servers.
This probably isn’t the story you’re thinking of, but “There will come soft rains” by Bradbury has similar themes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Will_Come_Soft_Rains_(short_story)
I tried that out and posted the picture in another comment in this thread (https://lemmy.world/comment/10346090). I think it’s better but I have some more to learn. Your photo is brilliant!
