Utopiahkanzure: can I give a borderline philosophical opinion?07:17
Utopiahon SKDB07:17
Utopiah(Im asking because some people here tend to vomit when philosophical terms are used ;)07:17
UtopiahI think that by providing processes to build objects, SKDB (or any tool that aims to build objects thanks to computers) is realising computational praxis, the ability to act but mediated by computer tools07:19
Utopiah(there, done.)07:19
JayDuggerHmm?07:20
Utopiahpathological apraxia ( https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Apraxia ) and the inability to generate a process in order to reach a goal made me think of that07:20
katsmeow-afk•Praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted or practiced07:21

kanzure"the metric system (a simplistic farce conceived by eccentrics at the behest of madmen, and imposed by dictators for the convenience of idiots). "13:36
katsmeow-afkso imperial units and Latin it is!13:42
kanzureyou know, i've never heard of the metric system as part of a conspiracy13:49
kanzurethis is a first13:49
kanzureit seems like the only reason to *not* draw microfluidic circuits by hand is in the case of optimization/testing/simulation14:03
kanzurewhere you want to be able to control the parameters for each chamber, curves, corners, lengths, etc.14:03
kanzureanother reason is if you're mapping human-language biology lab protocols to mf components14:04
kanzurei suppose you could argue that you should use a parts library to construct a design because you can later do optimization/simulation14:04
kanzurewhereas with hand-drawing you'd have to redo the entire design14:04
kanzurehas anyone seen a VLSI-scale mf chip before?14:04
