I was recently reading the Feynman lectures on Physics, which is an accessible set of lectures for physics undergraduates and is generally regarded as a thing of beauty.

ghui is a terminal interface for browsing GitHub issues and pull requests.

The Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Threadbare is a frugal PHP + SQLite based forum.

You may also like command line applications that stand the test of time, operating on standardised protocols and schemas, in contrast to UI-centric web applications, which tend towards bloat, quick obsolescence, and black box proprietary backends.

If you want to record activity in a terminal, you can store it in a .ttyrec format.

The growth of the web has come at a cost.

Sometime in the past decade, the web took a wrong turn and has been too embarrassed to turn back.

WeeChat is an excellent extensible chat client.

The architecture, engineering, and construction industry does not have a large online chatroom culture, unlike the traditional open source software communities.

Physical objects in an IFC file must be categorised to a class of object, which has implications on what properties are expected to be found on the object.

Practical demonstrations of native IFC authoring already used on live projects with the free software BlenderBIM Add-on presented at a buildingSMART UK+I meetup in 2023.

A minor update to "Introduction to OpenBIM, Native IFC, and Open Source AEC" presented to BIMForum US.

So, what causes the most amount of whomp in NetHack?

NetHack is, without a doubt, the greatest game you will ever play.

My current hardware setup is a 2022 desktop from Linux Now in Melbourne.

A detailed explanation of how colours work in IFC.

A description of the limitations behind translated OpenBIM, and how native OpenBIM with free software is changing the industry.

I analyse how IFC4 has implemented shaders and textures based on X3D, and propose a series of backward compatible changes for IFC4X3 to modernise and simplify shader definitions in line with X3D4 and glTF.

Open source and OpenBIM complement each other, helping empower the users and processes of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry.

If you have an annual income of 32,400 USD or more per year, you belong to an exclusive club of the richest 1% in the world.

Revit has three reference points for coordinates: the internal origin, a survey point, and a project base point.

When you scan an object, a point cloud is generated of the object in space.

In a previous post, I talked about using a diamond wire to cut stone.

Radiance is the world's leading lighting simulation toolkit.

Radiance is not often used to simulate fields of grass and heavily vegetated scenes like those often created by CG artists with other rendering engines.

Ten Smiles was a concept Android app that would run in the background of your Android phone, and pop up randomly 10 times a day to remind you to smile.

Architectural, engineering, and construction drawings are usually produced in both PDF and DWG format.

OpenBIM is an international initiative to use open data standards in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.

Learning about intervals in music is a fundamental bit of theory for recognising patterns and structures in music pieces.

Radiance, unlike other rendering engines, does not currently have a large repository of free 3D models so that lighting simulationists can reuse assets in their renders.

The computing world has changed significantly since the web matured.

IFC is the ISO standard of how BIM data should be stored.

Radiance, first released in 1985, is one of the oldest rendering engines in use today.

Enscape is a game-engine style rendering engine that has plugins available for Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, and ArchiCAD.

Radiance projects do not usually have any form of enforced structure for organising your files.

IFC is the ISO standard format for storing BIM data.

I have produced a free PDF download of major and minor arpeggios for piano.

Peertube is a network of websites that allow people to upload, share, and comment on videos.

Architectural, engineering, and construction BIM models should be written into the international ISO standard IFC format.

It is possible to install Blender and The GIMP on Android, with the full functionality just as their desktop counterparts.

Radiance can be used to create three different types of 360 panoramic images for use in virtual reality (VR).

Radiance is a rendering engine used to perform accurate lighting simulations.

A few years ago I created some custom Buddhist vector logos for some CD covers.

Most Radiance material definitions require a specularity and roughness value to be set.

The Great North Walk is a 250km trail that goes from Sydney to Newcastle (or from Newcastle to Sydney, if you are so inclined).
