  • This seems to fit all the points I put somewhere else in this thread.

    • Nice, glancing angles on the teeth
    • Adequate distance between teeth (and unlike mine, the surface between the teeth has been properly smoothed out, making cleaning easier)
    • Nice girth on the handle, making hard presses into the object doable without bending the neck
    • Despite the girth, the handle shape with properly defined edges, reduces the DEX requirement of the user
      • On top of that, you have chamfers and fillets on those edges, reducing pressure on the skin (which I didn’t even think to ask for)
    • None of the form-over-function bs as is done in 2

    This is even better than the fork that I have on my table right now.

    Though that kink on the back end of the handle seems to trigger my OCD.


  • I don’t like the bulging teeth in the sides of 5, but I guess that depends more upon what you are eating with it.

    I prefer teeth with as acute an angle as viable, so for the front part, I’d go with 2.

    The space between the teeth also matters:

    • it decides how soft and brittle an object you can pierce with it, without the object breaking down.
    • as it decides the variety of objects you can use to clean them.

    The fork I use has ~1.5 times the space between teeth as 2

    As you said, the handle in 2 is a no. I would be fine with either of 1 and 5 for that.

    Though I like 5 for the neck girth of the handle in the 3rd dimension, which would make it last longer and be better for harder stuff, the oval shape seems like it would cause more unwanted turning during use, requiring a higher Dexterity for handling.

    While the handle for 3 looks like it would be fine for use, it seems like it would break in ~6 months.



  • And Adobe could make you pay that because they had enough money before, to do the lobbying required to make sure the institutions don’t go FOSS.

    Perhaps, would be a nice idea to have some uni that gives both, artistic and programming courses, have the art people interact with software being worked on by the programming people. And they could use any FOSS project for that.
    That way everyone gets lots of code to look at and play with, learn skills that otherwise freshers would gravely lack (looking at other’s code) and maybe also get some upstream commits [1]. while greatly reducing school fees


    1. as a result of the art people (real users) interacting with programmers who are now also interacting with industry people (upstream maintainers) ↩︎















  • It was completely unusable. Everyone was jamming everyone else.

    The companies deserve all the flak they get in this case. They know it is congested because they are the ones who did it, but don’t care to think about it.

    The least they could do is to let the user change the settings, but “oooh nooo PICNIC!”
    Ideally they should use a WiFi analyser while setting up the device and if there are too many APs of their own company, send a report to their nearby office so that it can be rectified.
