WireBend-kit: A Computational Design and Fabrication Toolkit for Wirebending Custom 3D Wireframe Structures
This paper introduces WireBend-kit, a desktop wirebending machine and computational design tool for creating 3D wireframe structures. Combined, they allow users to rapidly and inexpensively create custom 3D wireframe structures from aluminum wire. Our design tool is implemented in freely available software and allows users to generate virtual wireframe designs and assess their fabricability. A path-planning procedure automatically converts the wireframe design into fabrication instructions for …

WARBERT: A Hierarchical BERT-based Model for Web API Recommendation
With the emergence of Web 2.0 and microservices architecture, the number of Web APIs has increased dramatically, further intensifying the demand for efficient Web API recommendation. Existing solutions typically fall into two categories: recommendation-type methods, which treat each API as a label for classification, and match-type methods, which focus on matching mashups through API retrieval. However, three critical challenges persist: 1) the semantic ambiguities in comparing API and mashup d…

I think I'm going to be banned from using #Meson.

Sure… but...
I heard the police chief on the radio say "This sort of violence doesn't happen here."
Yes. It does. It did. Get your head out of wherever it is hidden and accept reality. https://mastodon.social/@0xYumeko/115289032518876808

It's the stuff strange dreams are made of! Like Fellini 8½. Whereever it is. Dancing in the streets permitted, presumably. No streetcars will be harmed.
