kanzure"We were only ever able to find one successful method of recruiting new micronationalists: wait for random people around the world to learn about micronations, start their own projects without any impact or influence from us, integrate those projects into the larger community, and then if those projects failed after a year or two sometimes their members would join us instead. This sort of worked, but never enough to get us more than ten ...10:55
kanzure... or twenty people. And those other projects, the ones they made, very rarely had more than ten or twenty people either, despite hordes of people who said they thought micronations were interesting and agreed to participate for a few months. It was a weird problem, and one I was never able to solve before I left the hobby."10:55
kanzure"It doesn’t help that a lot of people (DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS) keep thinking that rationality will turn them into supermen and get upset that they’ve been in the Bay Area like an entire month and are not yet Elon Musk."10:56
kanzure".. And that after ten years in micronations, the rule that no matter what happened we would never get more than a dozen or so people seemed like a law of nature. And that I just checked after two years outside the community, and it looks like one new person came in to replace me and no one else, and they’re still stuck around twelve. So there does seem to be this very real community failure mode where everyone is socially saturated ...10:57
kanzure... with each other and new people feel like they can’t break in"10:57
kanzurenah that's not why nobody shows up10:57

maakuah i didn't know he was in the micronation movement13:42
maakui thought micronations were cool when I was a teenager13:42
maakuthen i grew up13:42
kanzuregrowing up is a lousy reason to think micronations are lame13:42
kanzurethey are lame for many other splendid reasons13:43
maakuhah ok. i mean may immature naivete blinded me to the spectacularly obvious reasons why they are lame, and growing up corrected that :)13:45

kanzurethis is the most fucked up reasoning i have ever seen: "And it is not easy for me to describe the cognitive differences; if it was (a) easy to explain and (b) obviously correct once explained, then everyone over a certain IQ level would be doing it. "14:11
kanzure"My recommendation is to approach Thiel. He knows you. He understands the substance of your work to date. Ask him for a shot at an idea vetting position." "Doug, starting my own company requires more years-of-life diversion than I can afford at this point."14:26
kanzureso.. eliezer is incapable of reading, too.14:26
maakui failed to read on after his "VCs are stupid for funding the team not the idea!" rant14:40
maakuideas are communicable. unfortunately getting people to execute ideas is not a very teachable skill14:41
maakuVCs fund people that can execute ideas. how is this not obvious.14:47

justanotheruser That looks small and difficult to use. I'd rather have a keyboard where I can unlock the keys and adjust their location18:16
kanzurei use this http://www.amazon.com/ZAGG-FOLZKFLEXSLV-Zagg-ZAGGkeys-FLEX/dp/B00695OFE218:17

kanzureyeah, the width is really not tha tmuch18:19
kanzureif you can fit your hand in your pocket then you can fit that keyboard18:19
justanotheruserAlso, I probably have more typing probems than you, so I desire a different product18:20

justanotheruserI don't understand, so you are just able to get past the bottleneck of having to lift a key to press another?18:39
eudoxiai have the keyboard set up so if i press shift without modifying another key it produces a parenthesis18:39
eudoxialeft shift for ( right for ) obviously18:39

kanzureSShell::MakeIntersectionCurvesAgainst21:36
kanzure"If the model is represented as NURBS surfaces (and not just as a triangle mesh), then the user can export those exact surfaces as a STEP file. When this is possible, it is usually the best choice, since it does not introduce any error."21:38
kanzure"When Boolean operations are performed on triangle meshes (instead of exact NURBS surfaces), the resulting mesh quality will often be poor. An equally good mesh might have been achieved with fewer triangles, if the curves were piecewise-linear approximated differently. Or the mesh may contain long skinny triangles."21:38
kanzure"When Boolean operations are performed on NURBS surfaces, the mesh quality will in general be much better. But some types of surface intersection are not handled by the current NURBS Booleans, so it may in some cases be impossible to perform the desired operation as a NURBS Boolean."21:42
kanzure"To improve speed and mesh quality, draw the part using fewer Boolean operations. For example, a plate with a hole might be modeled in two different ways. The user might extrude the plate, and then cut a hole by extruding a circle as difference. Or the user might draw a single sketch with both the outline of the plate and the hole, and extrude only once. The latter option is preferable. The trim command (Sketch → Split Curves at ...21:42
kanzure... Intersection) may be useful while drawing complicated sections."21:42

justanotheruserwhats wrong with that21:56
kanzure"let's dump shit to openscad" is like the worst possible use of this library21:56
kanzurethis is a cad engine21:56
fennalso openscad is a language that never should have existed21:57

justanotheruserlol21:57
justanotheruserwhy do you guys hate openscad21:57
kanzurewhat part about toilet paper did you not get21:58
justanotheruserthe part where you could arbitrarily say anything is toilet paper and make the same argument21:58
kanzuremaking a new programming language is completely unrelated to the problem of writing a good geometry kernel22:00
justanotheruserso you are saying it should only exist as a library?22:01
kanzurewell also their implementation is bad22:01
kanzurepolyhedral approximation is no way to do precision geometry modeling22:02
