02:15 <pca006132> not sure where we should triage blocking issues, so I will do it here

02:17 <pca006132> https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/5689: I don't think this should be a blocker. The geometry is valid, the triangulation can probably be improved but that requires changing the triangulator quite a bit

02:17 <pca006132> *manifold's triangulator, not openscad's

02:17 <pca006132> the problem is really about degenerate triangles in that case, because the CGAL one generated tons of degenerates, but is better in terms of Delaunay condition

02:20 <pca006132> https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/5485: one simple way is to only cache minkowski with a mesh object, not the raw Manifold object

02:23 <pca006132> https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/5718: I think I can help rewriting the clipper2 utils, we can use clipper2's floating point API, and don't use the tree representation

09:42 <bitbasher> hi folks

09:42 <bitbasher> sorry if it seemed that i was offline .. well, i was sort of .. had family stuff to do all weekend so i did not see the cheat sheet issue blowing up

09:44 <bitbasher> so .. as my apologies are already published .. i am planning to apply all of the info i have learned and feedback i have been given over the next few days

09:45 <bitbasher> which will include a new version of the cheat sheet (currently in progress on my fork of the scad website

09:48 <bitbasher> unless i am told otherwise by the community .. it is a wiki so everyone (with correct permissions) is welcome to make corrections or revert what they dont like .. or keep informing me about anything "bad" so i can fix it

09:49 <J25K91> just let us know if your time frame didn't work as you expect it

09:50 <J25K91> It is great that you put efforts into this,  unlucky that you scrambled the live experience a bit

09:51 <bitbasher> well .. heh .. my time frame started as "oh just a few tweaks where my testing showed the docs to be wrong/incomplete" .. that was back in April ..

09:52 <J25K91> your time frame fixing it -  it would be terrible to waste all your work by reverting so this should be avoided at all costs

09:53 <bitbasher> i did overlook the links to the cheat sheet .. most of the original pages are still here so i dont think ALL the links broke .. and i did not understand what the {{anchor blah blah}} things were doing .. somehow i did not connect those to HTML anchors, which i do know well .. senior moment ? brain fart

09:53 <bitbasher> time frame is the next few days

09:54 <J25K91> i tried a few and all broke .. some even pointed to websites were the information was removed (not just the anchor or changed heading)

09:54 <bitbasher> like by next weekend .. as a pensioner who finds not much good to watch on telly having a docs update hobby keeps me feeling useful

09:55 <bitbasher> i found a bunch of missing pages on other sites too .. fixed what i could

09:56 <J25K> we had the problem in the past when people changed headings so we introduced the anchors

09:57 <bitbasher> is there a list of the anchors needed? or is it just all the links in the CS point to anchors?

09:57 <bitbasher> at the moment i need to get offline and get to my workshop .. things to do IRL

09:58 <J25K> e.g. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Other_Language_Features#$fs

09:58 <bitbasher> and .. what is ur id on github please?

09:59 <bitbasher> i am bitbasher there and vulcan_ or even bytebasher in some places

10:00 <J25K> anchors were used when names contain characters like _ $ or when multiple entries need to point to the same lemma

10:00 <bitbasher> ok .. i see that

10:01 <J25K> or when a user thought the lemma need a different heading so instead of changing the links on the cheat it made sense to keep the proper name of the function

10:01 <bitbasher> oh .. i just now .. finally -- found the anchor template page on wikipedia so i can read up on that

10:02 <J25K> wiki creates anchors for every heading ..  so you just add more

10:04 <J25K> .. but in general if you see something you don't fully understand - don't remove it

10:05 <J25K> .. i am looking forward how the new wiki structure and cheat sheet structure looks like

10:05 <bitbasher> and re-reading your linked page .. i rem thinking i might have damaged some pages that i was putting transclusions into .. and forgot to check the revision history to see what pages looked like before me

10:06 <bitbasher> well thanks !! that is so nice to hear

10:08 <bitbasher> i can tell you i am not happy with my top level page "OpenSCAD User Manual" and the top page of the language ref .. the old versions were (IMHO) to verbose and untidy .. but i now see i have gone too much the other way

10:08 <bitbasher> now i have to go .. laters

10:08 <J25K> Ü ..  well hope we improve

12:05 <pca006132> IMO a reference manual is something that basically tells you how to implement something with the same behavior

12:06 <pca006132> you have to find the algorithms, but things that affect the user should be documented

12:06 <pca006132> examples are supplementary, you should be able to understand things (probably requires more effort) even without examples
