nmz787umm00:00
fennsayonara nmz787_i00:00
nmz787yeah f that guy00:00
fennorder of magnitude calculation is a well respected tradition in physics and engineering00:01
kanzureestimation is much harder to do when your entire product is based on a giant black box (some commodity microscope with poor spec sheets)00:01
nmz787no i'm not against estimation, but i don't want to spend 5 years on a brlcad estimation00:01
gradstudentbotCan I get my own desk?00:01
kanzurewell, none of these other people did estimates either, and they ended up with microscopes that are not even micro-related00:02
nmz787but they also have papers we're referring to with images of 10 micron lines or whatever00:02
kanzurehm?00:02
nmz787the DMD microfluidics, laser-traced microfluidics00:02
kanzurewe haven't referred to any of those for any of this00:03
kanzure"just get some gears"00:03
nmz787that blu-ray head on custom CNC paper00:03

nmz787pretty much same idea/conversation00:03
kanzureshow me their BOM00:03

nmz787idk is it in there or not?00:05
nmz787"The cost of the system, excluding the motion stages, is less than00:06
nmz787$100."00:06
nmz787The cost of the system, excluding the motion stages, is less than00:06
nmz787$10000:06
nmz787The cost of the system, excluding the motion stages, is less than00:06
nmz787apparently copy doesnt work on that00:06
fenni thought you were just repeating for emphasis00:07
nmz787nobody uses BOM sections anymore00:07
fennthen "everybody" is a useless fucktard00:08
nmz787i actually lost points for having a for-loop like structure for some chem paper i wrote a few months ago for a class00:08
-!- mosasaur [~mosasaur@unaffiliated/mosasaur] has joined ##hplusroadmap00:08
kanzurewell stop going to class00:08
fenn"here's some thing, lol have fun reverse engineering our blurry photographs"00:08
nmz787where i basically said, repeat steps 1-10 using the subsequent reaction mixes in table ABC00:08
nmz787or something like that00:08
nmz787he was like 'that isn't clear'00:09
fennthere's a difference between pedantry and replicability00:10
nmz787The cost of the system, excluding the motion stages, is less than00:10
nmz787fuck00:10
nmz787i'd copied and pasted this to chrome00:10
fennwhy even publish a paper like this if you don't include a BOM though00:10
nmz787NLS4-2.5-16-100:10
nmz787no price listed00:10
nmz787on their page00:10
nmz787well its buried00:11
kanzureso they have a diffraction grating, cube beam splitter, collimator lens, reflecting mirror, turning mirror, mounted photodiode, an LCD (for correcting aberration), an objective lens, tilt-actuated lens... there's no way this cost only $100, fuck these fuckholes.00:11
nmz787in the "Direct laser write experimental setup" section00:11
nmz787nah dude00:11
nmz787that's in the bluray optical sled00:12
nmz787that's the beauty00:12
nmz787billions of engineering across the globe already00:12
nmz787in every fry's or bestbuy or random electronics bodega00:12
kanzurethis isn't just a bluray00:12
nmz787yeah, fig 100:12
nmz787top view of sf-aw210 optical head schematic00:12
nmz787that's all in a unit the size of a matchbox or smaller00:13
kanzureokay great.. where's the parts for the camera viewer.00:13
nmz787they don't mention a cmarea00:13
nmz787camera00:13
fenni've never taken apart a blu-ray drive; is all that stuff really in there?00:13
nmz787well you can't really see it00:13
fennthe aluminum frame with the various magical crystals and motors00:14
nmz787its all in a glued up/sealed matchbox size thing00:14
-!- mosasaur [~mosasaur@unaffiliated/mosasaur] has left ##hplusroadmap []00:14
nmz787fig 2 shows it00:14
fennor are those diodes00:14
nmz787fig 2 (a)00:14
fennyeah i'm looking at it00:14
nmz787even a dvd/cd drive looks similar00:15
nmz787two lasers, idk about LCD... but like 4 or more photodiodes00:15
nmz787buncha optics00:15
nmz787all standarized for /some/ standard spot size and shape00:15
fennwhat does it actually do?00:16
nmz787now whether that is the best beam profile for straight sidewalls, idk, but it is a start00:16
fennin the blu-ray drive i mean00:16
-!- ebowden [~ebowden@CPE-60-231-178-117.lns4.dav.bigpond.net.au] has joined ##hplusroadmap00:16
nmz787there is also LIGA which I think is DIYable00:16
nmz787for making super steep sidewalls with basically an OK starting master00:16
nmz787oh00:16
nmz787well, the pixels are for feedback into the voice coil for the lens shift00:17
nmz787it gets a reflectance signal from the disc, and so can tell if its off-track00:17
nmz787then adjusts in the right direction00:17
fennadjusts what?00:18
nmz787LCD must just attenuate the edges, or the center I guess00:18
nmz787the voice coil that holds the final lens00:18
nmz787the one that if you poke with a pen tip, will move00:18
nmz787the stepper motor does coarse movement, and fine movement is achieved with the voice coil00:19
fenni guess this is "tuning mirror f"?00:19
-!- justanotheruser is now known as yandere00:19
nmz787no it would be h00:20
nmz787fib 1 (b) part h00:20
nmz787fig00:20
fennis h included in the chunk of metal with the bits and bobs in it?00:20
nmz787"n. Finally, the beam goes through the objective lens h, which is mounted on an actuator system that can tilt the lens, or move it horizontally or vertically to micro-focus."00:21
fennok i know what that looks like00:22
nmz787yeah its the lens that is right next to the CD00:22
nmz787the one you could see in a walkman00:22
fenncd-drives didnt have all this other crap though00:22
nmz787they had the sensor d00:22
nmz787al-track based optical drive do00:23
nmz787all00:23
fennof course00:23
nmz787hyphens all messed up00:23
nmz787the beam shaping is just to clean up whatever weird shape or harmonics the diode laser produces00:23
nmz787maybe merge multiple diodes into one beam00:23
nmz787who knows00:23
nmz787but they come out standard00:24
nmz787to some spec00:24
nmz787idk if that would be some redbook extension00:24
nmz787i remember reading that in a cdrom manual when i was a kid, redbook00:24
fenna highly technical term referring to a book with a red cover00:24
fennhey guyz lets make a data storage system using a sequence of bubbles in a liquid channel00:26
-!- ielo [~ielo@host-78-149-142-84.as13285.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap00:26
-!- yandere is now known as justanotheruser00:26
fennred bubbles, blue bubbles00:26
fennyou know you wanna do bubbles00:26
kanzurehow would calibration/alignment work00:26
kanzurewithout video00:27
fenntheir lines aren't very straight00:27
fennprobably an eccentric leadscrew00:28
kanzureoh look they include fucking scale bars00:28
kanzureBOM, scale bars, sanity, pick none00:29
kanzurenot having to deal with microscopes is nice00:31
kanzurewhy didn't they try a more complex design00:31
fennnot being able to see your work is not so nice00:31
fenni think they were just screwing around00:32
nmz787making gratings is useful00:35
nmz787and works well for tests00:35
nmz787you just compare spectra against a known good grating00:35
nmz787i.e. a plot of your light source from a good spectrometer00:36
nmz787then you get similar plots from items you generate00:36
fennthe grating would have turned out better if they only had the laser on in a single direction (instead of boustrophedon)00:36
fenn.wik boustrophedon00:36
yoleaux"Boustrophedon (/ˌbaʊstrɵˈfiːdən/ or /ˌbuːstroʊˈfiːdən/; from Greek βουστροφηδόν, boustrophēdon “ox-turning” from βοῦς, bous, “ox” and στροφή, strophē, “turn”; that is, turning like oxen in ploughing) is a kind of bi-directional text, mostly seen in ancient manuscripts and other inscriptions." — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boustrophedon00:36
fennso the periodic errors would line up and the lines would at least be parallel if not straight00:37

sheenakanzure: here?08:28
eudoxiacool, i should make a CL plugin08:29
kanzureeudoxia, for why?08:32
eudoxiakanzure: because there's currently no environment manager for Common Lisp08:33
eudoxiaexcept for CIM but that doesn't do virtualenvs just handling different implementations08:34
kanzurewhere does common lisp store its dependencies?08:40
eudoxiaquicklisp, the package manager, has a single global environment08:40

dpkkanzure: http://piratepad.net/qJQPLHLE2p10:27
kanzuredpk: hmm not sure how to cover the multiple request use case10:34
kanzurei could imagine an intermediate object that contains "all relevant data", one of those datum is the page html, and other page html10:35
kanzurethen the object proxies requests itself, and either serves up existing content, or does the actual http requests against the live interwebs10:35
dpkhmm, yes10:39
kanzuredpk: the other competing issue is streams. i don't remember why papermonk-plosone-downloader isn't working at the moment.10:45
kanzureit uses a streaming html parser, and as certain elements are parsed that match an xpath (etc), it emits json, and eventually the full json blob representing the metadata.10:45
kanzureor, that's what's supposed to happen :)10:46
dpkis it really necessary to use a streaming parser?10:46
dpkfor a start, if you use a streaming parser you can't comply with the HTML5 parsing spec10:46
kanzuremy (possibly bad) reasons were something about asynchronicity and callbacks10:47
kanzurei could be convinced10:47
dpkmost of the Node HTML parsers i've seen will accept a stream as input10:52
dpkthey just don't return anything (or rather, call their callbacks) until the stream has ended10:52
kanzurei was using https://github.com/substack/node-trumpet10:52
kanzurewhich uh, uses sax10:53
kanzurespecifically this sax http://npmjs.org/package/sax10:53
kanzurewell anyway, non-streaming-html-parsing is probably fine10:57

gene_hackerhey kanzure, how much do you know about nanoengineer/18:34
kanzurei was rewriting it at one point, but stopped because i got bored18:34
gene_hackerwhat's it doing under the hood18:37
gene_hackeris it using a standard molecular dynamics tool?18:37
kanzurenanoengineer offloads simulation to GROMACS and "that other one"18:38
kanzureGAMESS18:38
kanzureand uh, MPQC18:38
gene_hackerall of it?18:39
gene_hackerdon't you need potentials for that?18:39
kanzuresimulation only happens when you click simulate18:40
kanzurethe rest of the time it's using its own internal modeling18:40
gene_hackerso what does it pass to these simulations?18:41
gene_hackerand are the simulations really all that accurate?18:43
kanzurei dunno about accuracy or realism18:43
kanzurehttps://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer/blob/master/cad/src/simulation/18:43
kanzurethis may be the one that passes data to the simulator:18:44

gradstudentbotYeah, but that was only a sample size of one.18:46
gene_hackerisn't it just using gromacs just for energy minimization of DNA structures18:47
kanzurehm maybe,18:48
kanzureso the other half of nanoengineer was this thing called nanohive18:48
kanzureover here:18:48
kanzurehttps://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer/tree/master/sim/src18:48

kanzurenice set of tests though,18:51
kanzurehttps://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer/tree/master/sim/src/tests/motors18:51
gene_hackerso nanoengineer used nanohive?18:54
kanzureiirc, nanohive was built independently, then nanorex acquired the software and technology, and may have integrated it directly into naneongineer18:55

Huang et al's proposed reaction sequence of epitaxial diamond growth [13] , Sinnott et al's hydrogen abstraction [14] , and adaptations of Ralph Merkle's proposed hydrocarbon assembly tools [15] , we created an example of the mechanosynthesis of diamond with the simulator."19:00
kanzureso, a while back, i built a chroot environment for running nanoengineer in the original linux environment it was developed for19:01
kanzurethe instructions are in the README19:01
-!- Adifex is now known as night19:01
kanzurei did not try to use the simulators, but the process would be (1) find the appropriate versions of GROMACS, MPQC, GAMESS, (2) put it in the chroot (just download it), (3) install/run..19:02
gene_hackerso nanoengineer doesn't find potentials on it's own right?19:04
kanzurei think the simulator might,19:05
kanzurehttps://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer/blob/13316409d2911388e7fbc4643804553dbc2f13ed/sim/src/BUGS19:05

gene_hackerand how hard is it to add a pseudo atom to nanoengineer?19:16
kanzuremodifying nanoengineer is a little painful because the code is poorly written, and nobody knows the source code anymore really19:17
kanzureyou can add new types of atoms but they will not work everywhere in the system, i think19:18
kanzurethe principle of duck typing applies because it's python, so that's nice..19:18
gene_hackerso adding metal bonding would be pretty difficult with it?19:19
kanzureno idea, sorry, might be simple19:20
nmz787_igene_hacker: how does metal bonding differ from whatever it has now?19:21
nmz787_iwouldn't a metal just be able to get higher numbers of attachments?19:21
nmz787_ior have stronger bonding?19:21
gene_hackerit doesn't like it when I put a metal atom in19:21
gene_hackerI can't add enough bonds19:22
kanzurewhat does it do?19:22
kanzurejust error?19:22
nmz787_iben krasnow has a diffusion pump for giveaway for an informal contest19:23
gene_hackerit seems to act strangely?19:24
gene_hackermaybe it's correct?19:24
gene_hackerbut it just won't let me add additional bonds is all19:25
gene_hackerI'm just looking for an easy to use and somewhat accurate molecular dynamics/statics system19:26

kanzuredamn you're right20:05
kanzurethose jerks20:05
gene_hackerso why aren't you doing maskless lithography with a projector hooked up to a microscope again?20:07
kanzuresomething about buying connectors?20:08
kanzurenot sure which ones to get20:09
gene_hackerwhat do you mean by connectors?20:10
kanzureimagine a trinocular microscope, and a projector20:11
kanzurethe projector will fall off the microscope- that's what a connector fixes20:11
gene_hackerwhy not get a really small projector?20:12
nmz787i emailed ben krasnow and asked what shop equipment he recommends20:12
nmz787he makes adapters and crap all the time20:12
kanzurea really small projector also needs to be adapted to the microscope20:12
nmz787a pico projector doesn't have as many pixels20:12
gene_hackerhow many pixels do you need?20:13
nmz787and we're going to need to overepresent pixels a bit so we can align stepped areas20:13
gene_hackeris making a connector your only problem?20:13
nmz787overrepresent physical-pixels with DMD pixels20:13
nmz787if that makes sense20:13
kanzuretechnically, a projector photolithography system can be tested without a microscope (since the mirrors are 17 microns)20:13
nmz787i had shyed away from DMD/DLP when i saw the bluray on a CNC paper20:14
nmz787because its more available (cheaper to get bluray drive)20:14
nmz787and i saw a paper with interpixel noise from a DMD... but i guess they weren't over-representing pixels20:14
juri_http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2766#comic20:14
gene_hackerwell it can't be that accurate with a CNC20:14
nmz787(i.e. you want 1 micron features, but use 10 pixels to fit into that 1 micron, so you can move the features sub-micron in software20:15
nmz787if your stepper motors suck20:15
gene_hackerwell how low do you need the interpixel noise?20:15
kanzuregene_hacker: he means an xy table, not a cnc20:15
gene_hackeryeah I know20:15
nmz787gene_hacker: quite low20:15
gene_hackeryou still need a pretty accurate x-y table20:15
nmz787the interpixel peaks were enough to make the surface look kinda like an egg carton20:16
nmz787not as deep as an egg carton20:16
nmz787but you could see it20:16
nmz787it is more crap to have to model, more complex models20:16
gene_hackerand this was done where?20:16
nmz787which means the hydrodynamics will be more complex20:16

nmz787of the liquids and molecules contained therein20:17
gene_hackerthis is for microfluidics right?20:17
gene_hackerand wouldn't you have the same problem with a laser?20:18
nmz787like for some things like sorting cells you don't care as much about nano smoothness, but more about micro20:18
nmz787but for DNA it might be the opposite20:18
nmz787or you care about both20:18
gene_hackerbecause the laser beam is gaussian?20:18
nmz787cause DNA can get ripped or trapped in a low-pressure zone20:18

nmz787or possibly even use the bluray stepper setup20:24
nmz787then use the voicecoil actuated objective on the bluray for nano/micro movement20:25
nmz787that idea would not be constant illumination20:25
nmz787so could have 'interpixel' noise20:25
nmz787but it would be super cheap and easy20:25
nmz787it could probably be hacked with polar coordinates too, idk, and just use the single bluray drive as-is20:26

* dingo catching up20:26
gene_hackerso don't you have to index the sample with sub-resolution you want to achieve?20:26
nmz787you have to control with better than you want20:26
dingothats a lot of 3rd party import hehe20:27
nmz787if that's what you're asking20:27

dingoi missed the makerfair unfortunately20:31
dingoin detroit, MI, it was like .. one parking lot, not very large20:32
dingoi hear the one in california is *huge*20:32
nmz787yeah20:32
dingoi had a good time in the detroit one, i taught lock picking to children20:32
dingoit was great20:32
nmz787cool20:32
kanzurei think there was at least 1 trampling at the bay area one20:32
nmz787i went to the lockpicking area20:32
nmz787i was teaching kids how to take stuff apart20:32
dingobut i have a masterlock i found on the street i've been trying to pick for a week now, i'm not feeling very proficient20:32
dingokids are great20:33
nmz787this chinese lock i had at home it pretty tough even though i think its from harbor freight20:33
dingoi used to tutor college students in programming, but i really think my future is in tutoring children to program20:33
dingothey got the right mindset -- doing it only for the joy of doing it -- nothing more20:33
nmz787i feel like its cheapness made the insides sloppy which makes it harder20:33
nmz787but i'm a total n00b20:33
dingocollege students and adults have this "how do i make money from this" attitude that kind of burns it all away20:33
dingoyeah the worst lock i ever picked was a rusty old crusty piece of junk20:34
gene_hackeroh you need a weird subwavelength aperture array, a scanning probe lithography system, and a DLP chip20:34
dingoi was just considering that the other day20:34
dingolockpicking is only easy on brand new locks from home depot20:34
dingothe real challenge is doing *any* lock, in any situation, no matter how rusty it is20:34

kanzuregene_hacker: dlp dev kit is like $8k sux20:34
dingoif they just machined them poorly -- that makes it more challenging!20:34
dingothoguh the most *impossible* lock i ever tried to pick was an albaloy20:34
nmz787kanzure: you bought me a DLP dev kit, essentially... the only difference is the framerate20:34
kanzurethe actual dev kit probably comes with other goodies20:35
dingoabloy20:35
nmz787not too much20:35
nmz787a light that is connected in the right way20:35
dingothey have these half-moon structures, based in concentric circules, its imposible to pick by traditional means20:35
nmz787maybe a lens with a standard mount20:35
nmz787i think i heard protec was the best one20:35
kanzuredingo: what you need is x-ray imaging of locks before you pick them20:35
nmz787but that could have been my bike helmet from when i was a kid20:35
nmz787dingo: any recommendations for getting a key outta a car ignition?20:36
nmz787i bought an extractor set, but had no luck20:36
nmz787couldn't seem to get onto the tip of the key20:36
nmz787its broken halfway in the ignition, so nothing sticking out20:36
nmz787there's even at least one (i think only 1) pin blockin it in20:37
gene_hackeryou have a DLP dev kit?20:37
dingoahh broken halfway in huh20:37
nmz787nah just a projector i modified20:37
dingoi've used some very nice needle-nose pliars or very strong magnets for such tasks20:37
nmz787had to make a little board to fake out the fan speed sensors20:37
nmz787hmm20:37
gene_hackerso you've tried the microscope trick then?20:38
-!- kumavis [~kumavis@dyn-72-33-82-229.uwnet.wisc.edu] has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]20:38
dingoonce you pick a lock a few times and learn the pins and depths, it becomes easier20:38
nmz787i was using like the 0.2mm extractor to get between the key and the sleeve or whatever... the keyway20:38
nmz787gene_hacker: i gave up when i didn't think of a way to attach the two20:38
nmz787i really didn't want to build things out of 2x4s20:38
dingoso theres truth the x-ray trick20:38
dingokanzure: sl4shd0t tells me she stopped by to say hellow20:38
dingobut she spelled her nickname backwards20:39
kanzurestopped by where?20:39
dingoit was like t0dhs4ls or some such20:39
dingohere20:39
nmz787i went to a 4 yr old's bday party last weekend, thought about getting her a clear lock and some picks20:39
kanzureoh20:39
nmz787but idk if the parents would be OK20:39
dingothen she was embaressed and left, she's shy like that20:39
dingothough she's married, she claims you are very cute! how about that20:39
dingoi didn't say that hehe20:39
kanzuretell her i'm too old for her20:39
dingohaw haw haw20:40
nmz787this is logged, you did say that :P20:40
dingodamn logs'll be the end of me20:40
dingoi'll be in court one day contesting irc logs i know it20:40
kanzureoh that was on the 9th20:42
kanzurethat's pretty funny, i said hi within a few seconds20:42
kanzuretypical20:42
kanzurenmz787: what photoresists do you have?20:43
dingoi had an angry parent come to me because i gave her 12yr-old-boy a 2-item lockpick set from my own, hehe20:44
dingotheres no laws against it20:44
dingoits good to encourage children to break into security systems20:44
dingopeople should know these are just techincal formalities20:44
dingo"its locked, i guess we just give up, then" is not the right attitude20:45
kanzurehmm would be nice to have a micro LED array thing: http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/02/apple-acquires-power-efficient-led-tech-company-luxvue/20:45
kanzureoh i wonder if it's switchable20:45
nmz787kanzure: just the ebay stuff right now, though i should get some su-820:46
nmz787kanzure: i have a lab address for shipping stuff to20:46
kanzurei haven't been tracking the names of the materials that respond to which wavelengths20:46
kanzureit's probably a long list of options20:46

kanzureoh well20:51
kanzurewhy not something more hilarious, like "in excel spreadsheets zoomed out all the way"20:51
gene_hackernmz787 any chance you could measure how much UV your projector throws out?20:52
nmz787not until my spectrometer is built20:53
nmz787or kanzure sends me one20:53
nmz787anyway i was shining a 405nm laser into it20:53
nmz787so it would be 99% 405nm20:53
nmz787kanzure: powerpoint is pretty easy20:53
nmz787kanzure: you can have timers for each slide20:53
gene_hackeryou were shining a laser through a projector?20:53
nmz787yep20:54
nmz787last year20:54
nmz787or the one before20:54
gene_hackerso it isn't too hard to replace the lamp?20:54
nmz787it came without one20:54
nmz787from ebay20:54
nmz787i had to make a voltage to freq converter basically20:54
nmz787to trick out the fan speed sensors20:54
gene_hackerbecause if you can make a projector throw out a crapload of UV, you can do some fun stuff at the macroscale20:54
nmz787https://github.com/nmz787/DLP-Projector-fan-and-lightbulb-override-msp43020:54
nmz787UV is a concern of mine for longevity of the DMD method20:55
gene_hackerwell what's the DMD made of?20:55
nmz787as they're not rated (no literature on it in the manual for example)20:55
nmz787and its getting closer to where photoelectric effect is stronger20:55
nmz787probably Al20:56
nmz787but there are electronics under each mirror20:56
nmz787and between20:56
gene_hackerhttp://www.ti.com/lit/an/dlpa031c/dlpa031c.pdf20:56
kanzure"UV windows have special AR coatings designed to be more20:57
kanzuretransmissive for ultraviolet wavelength, v"20:57
nmz787for the normal window its still in the 90s %20:58
nmz787guess longevity should be ok then20:58
nmz787unless they actually have changed their DMD design20:59
nmz787and this is actually a special part20:59
nmz787for a special part20:59
nmz787heh, that paper is by Yi Lu... I know a guy named Yue Li21:01
nmz787i actually was able to just twist the projector lense past its normal zoom set point and focus the image to about 2cm per side21:02
nmz787but you've got no idea if its still focused in that usage21:03
nmz787since it was engineered to be all in focus when the image is like 8 ft per side21:03
gene_hackerthey are basically two types of DMDs, ones for NIR, and ones that'll do every wavelength up until they start passing through it21:04
nmz787passing through was never my concern21:05
nmz787it was the photons that make it past, not through21:05
gene_hackerpoint is, if you can throw out a crap load of UV light, you can make precision ceramic molds for making turbine21:05
nmz787lol21:05
nmz787my farmer /does/ have a stream he needs power extracted from21:06
gene_hackerby passing through, I mean, you can use almost any wavelength of light up to x-rays21:06
nmz787yeah i got ya21:06
gene_hackerI don't mean water turbines, though you could do that, I mean single crystalline jet turbine blades21:07
nmz787nano?21:07
gene_hackermacro21:07
gene_hackerthey're just about the hardest thing to make ever21:07
gradstudentbotSeriously, who moved my samples?21:07
nmz787cool, so for my future nuclear steam car/VTOL21:07
gradstudentbotWhere are the pipettes?21:08
gradstudentbotYou know, I can just do consulting.21:08
nmz787gene_hacker: then why can't one use that method to make glass microfludicis?21:12

nmz787gene_hacker: http://invenios.com/micro-fabrication-resources/foturan-photo-sensitive-glass/21:12

gene_hackerhttp://ddm.me.gatech.edu/page8/page8.html21:13

gene_hackerhow large do you want it?21:14
kanzuremeters21:14
gene_hackerthat's what they're trying to do21:15

kanzurebecause all the people that understand nurbs intersection math happen to be terrible programmers21:59
kanzurei have tried it a few times, but it was difficult for me to envision the correct implementation plus write sane tests for each component at the same time (and if you don't write tests the whole way, then you're screwed...)22:01
nmz787maybe that's a reason to start with requirements/tests completed first?22:13
kanzurehard to do if you don't know the full implementation22:15
kanzureit's not just line/line intersection stuff, it's also tests of the weirdo polynomial curve subdivision magic, knots, etc22:16
