Re:Sharing the Load: Amish Healthcare Financing (2016) on Monday February 27, 2023 @10:23AM (#34957425)
Amish commonly believe that commercial insurance plans undermine the religious duty of community accountability [2]. Their sense of community is strengthened by the belief that most modern technology brings a worldliness that detracts from their lifestyle. Amish are increasingly likely to use telephones (even cell phones), while televisions, bicycles, gas-powered tractors, and owning vehicles are still forbidden.
Re:Online 3D Viewer for FreeCAD files on Monday February 27, 2023 @10:23AM (#34957424)
Free viewing functionality: Many programs have multiple features and functions locked behind paywalls. We chose ones that allow users to view files for free.

Popular CAD formats support: CAD is a big world with many different file formats. Just some of the formats include DWG, DXF, DWF, HPGL, OBJ, and STL. We chose a group of viewers that cover as many format bases as possible.

Ease of use: The user comes first. So, if a viewer requires you to take hours to learn how to use it, we didn’t include it.

using a bespoke ISA seems like a wrong choice for the purpose of long-scale durability, because if the knowledge of that ISA is lost then the code becomes useless.
