  • the wife of a guy in our office said that they got a late night e-mail explaining this situation and said that all invoices now would be addressed to jordanian firms, but the outcome won’t change. there is not a single soul they wouldn’t slaughter just to get that sweet sweet dollar bills.

    and by the way, based purely on my real life experience, i don’t see people complaining about this. i have heard a lot of my friends saying “why did hamas do something like this knowing perfectly well that israel would behave this way?”.

    as a country, turkey has been a lost cause since the 1980 coup. october 7th just made everyone sure of that.










  • i’m all for periodic contributions through channels like open collective but bounties rarely get to the point of being persuading.

    for a couple of years now my favorite foss project has been blender bim addon and its community osarch.

    it has a unique aspect. the software stack it’s trying to be an alternative of includes giants like autodesk, nemetchek etc. although it’s a gigantic shoe to fill, it has been really really successful at doing what it’s doing. i have been using it for a year now and cannot fathom to go back.

    the community consists of experienced construction sector people and a decent amount of them are directly involved in the software development, be it coding, bug triage, educational content, technical support etc.

    i guess the thing that makes a project tick is having a working state software, the degree to which is not important, and being community oriented.


  • this is literally how we work now in construction. because everything is digital people think that this is an acceptable approach. all my costing files are purposefully extremely dynamic.

    you want to add another floor? no problem.

    you want to change some floors from 3 bedroom to 2 bedroom? no problem.

    you want to remove a parking floor and have outside parking? no problem. you don’t want to have low hanging beams? no problem.

    and so on and so on…

    i know i should not be working like this, but sometimes i have to.
