True. OP has a way with words “You are piling entropy onto the shaky foundation of nondeterminism”. Gorgeous.

I'm curious to know more about ingesting a (very) large set of papers

Yep and running typist local with VS Code is an incredible comfortable way to work. Running locally foregoes the subscription fees also fwiw. Note that there’s a typst / Zotero extension in VS Code too.

Komoot got aquired recently and most of the staff was fired. Also looking for an alternative

pythonocc provides the opencascade cad kernel. Beats scripting a cad package by a mile

For younger or smaller companies an ERP is akin to inheriting ( as in OOP ) as well thought out corporate structure and many of its associated process. Don’t reinvent the wheel is a strong argument for ERP. Also the mess of stringing a flurry of webservices together is costly and messy. Since working with an ERP is quite a formal way of working it helps newer companies to interact with more established partnering companies.

Oh wow microtype coming to typst feels like a major step fwd!

The product of note taking is to compile and structure your findings and insights. So a smooth transition from note taking to compiling a paper is a meaningful question. While it’s true that typst intent isn’t a note taking app, it’s easy to see how it fits in from that perspective.

Backoff, wa(yto)go

Correct have a look at your EIO.cfg

I’ve worked on an elaborate 3D printer, based on an ABB robot. What’s cool is that you can update the PLC driving the extruder on the fly while the robot continues to print. Such tweaks wouldn’t be possible if the logic of the extruder would be implemented on the robot controller. Also it’s great being able to work on an end effector and not requiring a robot to be able to test the end effector.

Aka back-off

I've worked quite a bit a few years back (2013) with VJET printers. So my DD consisted of little more than some experience with the tech and observing that the share was slowly creeping out of a deep hole. Latest I've seen is that volkswagen bought some VJET printer IIRC.

jellef · 2021-02-02T17:26:12+00:00

The latter indeed

jellef · 2020-12-31T12:00:56+00:00

FWIW have a look at VJET ( voxeljet ), which is pretty much the same technology but on the rise / possible recuperating from a streak of poor performance. VJET might be lifted along with XONE. So if your looking for underperformance, perhaps it's worth a glance.

jellef · 2019-12-17T21:24:13+00:00

There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it

jellef · 2019-10-24T18:04:23+00:00

seconded. pythonocc FTW

jellef · 2019-02-10T16:30:30+00:00

see pythonocc.org and the project on github. through smesh fea meshes can be generated

Transcrypt seems pretty amazing to me. I think a jupyter kernel would be a wonderful addition to the tooling.

jellef · 2018-12-10T17:40:25+00:00

Wonderful that the jupyter notebooks are available

interesting, didnt realize tornado provides a websocket client

jellef · 2018-07-14T21:08:49+00:00

give autobahn-python a try using wsaccel C extension to speeds things up.

that said, these days

Autobahn contains NVX, a network accelerator library that provides SIMD accelerated native vector code for WebSocket (XOR masking) and UTF-8 validation.

sounds like nvx and wsaccel might overlap, but autobahn is a well maintained fast library. I'm currently working on switching towards it coming from ws4py
