Gerrit introduces the concept of Commit-Id; essentially a uuid ties to the first review which merged a proposed commit into the trunk. Cherry picks preserve that Commit-Id. And so do rebases; because they're just text in a commit messa

The coal plant in my hometown was always running on cold days. It didn't need anything else to be available when needed besides several hours of lead time. Mostly relying on long-distance transmission has high costs in capex, opex (los

They get cheaper electric rates by agreeing to be the first loads shed if the grid is overloaded. This is a standard thing. If their generators didn't start, they wouldn't be cut off, but it'd be a big deal. > You’re ok if

It's also like to see a comparison to giving people/companies a discount if they have alternative methods of heating for 3 weeks and agree to be powered off. Places like hospitals and universities often have generators and do this

I'm not sure how often the upper Midwest gets Dunkelflaute. If rare enough, then overbuilding wind is a possible solution (especially combined with additional transmission) but, again, those costs must be accounted for or the solar cos

Yes, but you have to pay for a line you don't plan to use much, so its capital costs should be attributed to the generation method requiring it. Which is fine, but not including it is dishonest about the true costs.

Context is solar and pricing. You can't only build solar, because people will freeze to death. So you can't say "solar+batteries is only $X/W!!!” because you're ignoring that you must also have a rarely-used natural

As usual, explain how you're going to power heat pumps in the Northern half of the country during a 3 week bomb cyclone. There are answers and they cost money. The only answer we're using is to build 1:1 natural gas capability for

Consider making a standoff: a hollow cylinder. You take a cylinder primitive and subtract a cylinder primitive with a smaller radius. If they have the same height, the top and bottom faces of the cylinders are exactly the same plane, which

That's true, if you use i.e. Python you can use numpy for custom matrix math, but using C++ you can just do anything and it'll be pretty fast.

I would, but I have a hardware defect and can't use half my RAM slots, so I really don't have enough RAM. I have been considering a new laptop though (or just clean up my firefox tabs...)

Also you can use the new backend by writing C++: https://github.com/elalish/manifold Which avoids using the OpenSCAD language, but also means you can't use BOSL2. Might as well use FreeCAD.

BOSL2 allows attaching when you define attachment points or something with attachment points defined for you (most everything in BOSL2). Manifold backend also eliminates the need to avoid coincident faces.

It does have caching, but you are otherwise correct. I would also add that it can't do arcs; any curve is discretized immediately upon creation.

It's switched to a new backend https://github.com/elalish/manifold Which you can also use directly instead by writing C++. Trivial operations are two orders of magnitude faster and complex ones every faster.

Aha, I think I get the confusion. Deep oil penetration is easy. The problem is not filling every pore (void) with resin. I mean, you can do that if you want, look up PEG https://www.rockler.com/polyethylene-glycol-peg-green-

Cobalt is an element and polymerization is not a nuclear reaction, so there's still cobalt in the finish when it finishes curing. The driers are catalysts AFAIK.

Deep frying works well when the oil is held well above water's boiling point, keeping excessive amounts of oil from soaking in because steam escaping from the food keeps excessive oil from entering. That doesn't work with wood.
