Genuinely surprised to see this exists, SOLIDWORKS seems to always be in the same “hard no” category as Adobe software in every one of these kinds of threads I’ve seen over the years. This is literally the first time I’ve ever seen a response with a potential solution.

I wonder how well it works (Just out of curiosity, I don’t do CAD myself)

If it is a computer, it is compatible

You may just need some extra bits in addition to the base ISO

IIRC the Broadcom website has the latest Linux drivers on there if the kernel doesn’t support it out of the box, so grab a copy of those and put them on a USB.

As others have said, you could get a live distro to test it out before you install

By all means try it out, it might have been something down to the drivers for my audio interface (focusrite scarlett) at the time

If you have better luck than I did, I’d love to know!

Can’t comment on everything, but given you mentioned audio production: a couple of years ago I tried to get ASIO working from within a VM on a Linux host OS and wasn’t having a whole lot of luck.

I think I read somewhere that someone had come up with a special ASIO driver to send the audio directly into the host Linux OS audio subsystem, but I’ve not tried that or measured latency yet.

For anyone that doesn’t somehow already know, SOS is pretty simple to learn

It’s just three threes of dots dashes dots.

. . . - - - . . .

Sentences finish with a full stop (or period if you’re American), so you can remember it’s the dots last (and therefore first)

Hopefully you never need to use it, but better to know it and not need it than the alternative

I guess it depends how legally I want to go about it—there’s always someone that will pay for the exploit details

Omg his company sells one of those meeting notes bots

I’d bet everything I own that they leak sensitive information from some company within the next couple of months.

This product will 100% have more security holes than a sieve

… I’m starting to think I need to take up freelance pentesting

I assume this is coming at some point, tbh

I personally reckon they’re working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it’s an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch

Every time I’ve tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it’s the VST support that lets me down. I’ve got hundreds of VSTs I’ve used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can’t switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I’ve worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.

Until that day, I’ve got to begrudgingly keep windows around.

You would not want to do this for latency reasons

Proton for ARM is not (currently) a thing, if that’s a factor

I’m in the same boat as you, with decades of projects I want to be able to open.

However, OP mentioned Reaper, which has a native Linux version! So as long as they’re not using a load of VSTs, and the ones they do play nicely with Linux, it could work out for them

The only way is to give it a go and find out though

That thumbnail lol

No. 5 was a fun mental image

Cheers for the response, I appreciate it!

I’m curious about the plugins as obviously I’m not gonna be familiar with the notepad++ plugin ecosystem now—what’s special about the ones you listed?

Assuming edit EOL is just changing the line termination characters, all editors have that don’t they? Or does this not do what I think?

Intrigued about VSCode being slow for text manipulation too—I remember this being a big reason I dropped notepad++ for sublime and IMO VSCode and sublime more or less have parity on that front, particularly with vim bindings

I just don’t get the love for notepad++

I started using it as my main back in 2006ish, I then switched to sublime text about 2011, then about 5-6 years ago to VSCode. All the time using vim for any in-terminal quick edits.

Notepad++ is easily my least favourite editor of the lot, by several miles, it just seems so rigid and clunky without even going into how it’s windows only. Every editor I’ve used since has been a huge improvement over the one prior IMO

If this actually rings true, there’s something pretty wrong in your team.

Stand up should be a quick and uncontroversial meeting talking about what you’ve done, what you’ll do and anything you need help with, plus maybe a couple of minutes of small talk before you start.

The comfortable one is unfortunately an ultimate feature that we don’t get in our plan

I still don’t know why this architecture went for a Double XOR as the NOP, I guess they were just flexing that the reference chip design could do both in a single cycle

Lagunitas is pretty banging tho

No need to get aggravated, I completely grasp it, you’ve possibly misunderstood or not entirely read my comment if that’s your takeaway.

I’m not talking about server code specifically, I’m going through the stages between the source code repo(s) and what your browser ends up receiving when you request a site.

NodeJS is relevant here because it’s what runs nearly all major JS bundlers (webpack, vite, etc), which are what produces the code that ultimately runs in the browser for most websites you use. Essentially in a mathematical sense, the full set of dependencies for that process are a part of the input to the function that outputs the JS bundle(s).

I’m not really sure what you mean with that last part, really, anyone hosting something on the internet has to care about that stuff, not just businesses. GDPR can target individuals just as easily as for-profit companies, it’s about the safety of the data, not who has it—I’m assuming you would not want to go personally bankrupt due to a deliberate neglect of security? Similarly, if you have a website that doesn’t hit the performance NFRs that search engines set, no one will ever find it in search results because it’ll be down on page 100. You will not be visiting websites which don’t care about this stuff.

Either way, all of that is wider reasoning for the main point which we’re getting away from a bit, so I’ll try to summarise as best I can:

Basically unless you intend your idea to only work on entirely open source websites (which comprise a tiny percentage of the web), you’re going to have to contend with these JS bundles, which as I’ve gone into, is basically an insurmountable task due to not having the complete set of inputs.

If you do only intend it to work with those completely open source websites, then crack on, I guess. There’s still what looks to me like a crazy amount of things to figure out in order to create a filter that won’t be able to work with nearly all web traffic, but if that’s still worth it to you, then don’t let me convince you otherwise.
