- kanzure is rewriting “lolcad” from scratch, this time with full unit tests (109 tests passing in 0.151 s) and a deliberate pace, aiming to replace the rushed 2011 version.  
- The new CAD core is being evaluated for integration with molecular-modeling libraries; kanzure notes that if OpenBabel already supplies the needed atom/molecule data structures, NanoEngineer may become redundant and could eventually be “deleted.”  
- Discussion of open-source geometry kernels: Rhino removed their surface-bounding-box algorithm from the open-source OpenNURBS release to protect commercial licensing, while the JavaScript NURBS library “verb” (https://github.com/pboyer/verb) is praised as nearly complete but still lacks robust surface-surface intersection routines (listed as “in the works”).  
- A 1996 paper on efficient surface-surface intersection using adaptive triangulations and space-partitioning trees was linked as a potential reference for implementing the missing capability in verb or lolcad.  
- heath sought ways to stress-test the collaborative editor Plunker (sharejs/OT backend) with ~30 concurrent users from distinct IPs; kanzure suggested geosurf proxies, and heath reported commercial proxy pricing ($199/month for 12 locations).  
- Brief security note: the old Satoshi Nakamoto SourceForge account was reportedly compromised, with claims that 2010 IP-address leaks via mis-configured Tor are now being sold on darknet markets.
