I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!
boolean is a totally different thing in 3d software. It’s where you remove something from another something or combine.
Nah, it’s exactly the same thing. 3D software is just applying a Boolean function to two sets of points at the same time, instead of one scaler piece of data like reading a setting.
In other words, Firefox is doing f(a), where f is a unary Boolean function (identity or negation) and a is a single true/false value, while your 3D software is doing f(A, B), where f is a binary Boolean function (union a.k.a. AND, intersection a.k.a. OR, etc.) and A and B are vectors of true/false values representing whether particular points of space are contained within object A or B respectively.
(Some 3D software might be more sophisticated than that, using mathematical expressions of the object boundaries to get exact answers instead of interpolating between points, but I’m just trying to convey the basic concept here.)
I appreciate the effort to explain it but dude, that’s all totally foreign to me. You guys literally speak different languages.
That’s fair; it’s literally a math/computer science/computer engineering topic.
Personally, I’m of the opinion that more of that sort of thing ought to be taught to everybody in K-12 (because you aren’t really computer literate unless you can automate workflows, if not by “programming” then at least by scripting), but that’s a rant for a different thread.
Anyway, I’m sorry about Firefox not behaving the way you want it to, and hope that it improves for you in the future.
