I love Benfey's table. I find it the most intuitive to interpret at a glance at what's actually going on with the electrons and the filing of the orbitals (in the version where they're marked) around the nucleus. Might be just taste, but it's my fave.


So it's not any different than Mastodon then.


I like the old logo more. It looks less commercial, more old-fashioned, and less sleek, which I think is a good thing for a museum.


FreeCAD[1] is the most advanced in my opinion. The next release is also supposed to solve the longstanding topological naming issue, and finally be the first 1.0 version.

FreeCAD is just a parametric modeler with export capability. There are an ecosystem of plugins to provide various CAM capabilities, and finite element modeling like the OP is about, but it's not integrated together like Fusion 360 is.

I think the current state of open-source CAD/CAM is a looong way from matching what Solidworks or Fusion 360 can do out of the box.


Why would you follow that link in particular? You can find all the license information here: https://wire.com/en/legal/terms-of-use-personal/ , scroll down and click on license information, there's like a 100 different licenses for the 100 different things they used in the software.


Because that is the link given in their main github repo. I'm not ready to trust someone with my privacy who can't even properly manage their weblinks.

I was honestly confused for a second why would you think the name had anything to do with a fetish (minus some mastodon content) until I realized you saw it as fe-diverse and not fedi-verse. I never saw it that way because I pronounce the "i" in it as "ee", not as "ay". I wonder what's more common now. Is this another gif/jif situation?


The people in charge quite possibly have crypto farms themselves, so... don't expect a solution until there are literal electricity blackouts due to shortages or the electorate gets really angry.

But if it were to be implemented, it would work. It wouldn't make the electorate happy either short-term, it would be like flushing out an infection with a fever.

Plus, with the delicate nature of the political situation, I wouldn't recommend Kosovo's institutions imposing brownouts on Northern Kosovo, or at least not just on Northern Kosovo.


A much better example for this topic are IMO elephants, they behave with certain gentle quiet reverence around elephant bones they stumble upon.

They also exhibit some even more ritualistic behaviors[1][2][3][4] around other dead elephants, such as throwing leaves and branches over their bodies.

I witnessed this once. A larger than usual murder of crows on the roadside looking at a road-killed comrade. It was surreal.


The US's green house emissions per capita are twice as big as China's[1]. Considering China's population is about 4 times bigger it puts the absolute pollution at about 1:2. Chinese percent of renewables is 25% compared to the US's 15%[2]. What exactly do you want from China? I'm not even gonna address the war idea...

Awww you sent me links to review


I'm surprised nobody's mentioned yet a key (admittedly not only) part in making the US so polarized: first past the post voting system which inevitably leads to a two party system. Good luck having nuance in that system. It literally pits people against each other in two umbrella teams. The internet's echo chamber mechanic has only amplified this.

People need to challenge their own beliefs more often. You vote Democrat? Whatever. Who do you vote for in the primaries? Nobody cares... they should.

It might open the eyes to the foundations of disagreement not being dehumanizing.


I did actually touch on it briefly in [1] but it was not my only focus so perhaps you missed it. But I fully agree our voting system is one of the primary reasons for our polarization (social media is probably another but that's mainly an instinctual hypothesis). Unfortunately the alternative with the most support currently is ranked choice/IRV which does not really solve polarization (perhaps it might help it due to external societal factors, but in a mathematical vacuum I believe IRV is just as polarizing as first past the post). As far as single winner methods go, approval and STAR are gaining momentum and they do address polarization, so if one of these catches on I expect it to help slowly improve our current situation.

Yup, I've missed it somehow. I'm also a fan of approval and particularly star voting compared to IRV. It's good they're gaining ground.


> Who do you vote for in the primaries? Nobody cares... they should.

This is a mechanism that in the past limited polarization at the final election. Now, there's ideological policing-by-harassment within both parties.
