[github] ChrisCoxArt opened issue #3919 (MacOS build broken - hidapi 0.9.0 cannot compile due to duplicated line in configure.ac file). https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/3919
<Scopeuk>
Thats a lot of bug reports, he does seam to have changed his tone a little and is being more constructive. Would be great to have someone looking after the osx build again.
<teepee>
with highlight on "a little" though
<teepee>
it's not going to scale if I have to copy&paste badly formatted code snippets to make PRs for a system I can run things on
<teepee>
where that could have been a PR *literally* done by clicking edit on the github website, it does not even require cloning or anything
<teepee>
which is what I've done in the end
<teepee>
well, lets hope for the best I guess
<teepee>
also, argh, qscintilla changed their download URL yet again :(

Yeah. I assume he's not yet familiar with how open source projects work. I chuckled at the part about needing to have one of our engineers look at it. But, at least there is actionable technical information appearing now. Perhaps a resolution will lead to an updated understanding of how to operate within open source.
<InPhase>
A modestly active mac dev is what is needed for those segments to remain stable.
<InPhase>
Otherwise, it just remains reactive to reports until then.

plus not able to cover latest macos version, I don't think I've seen big sur on any of the platforms yet

Yeah... So want to know why many Americans think the metric system is harder? They hear things like, "30 miles is 48.3 km" and the think metric is harder because it has all these harder to remember decimal values. They typically don't get told that "30 km is 18.6 miles".
<InPhase>
If you read discussions you can hear people complaining about this.
<teepee>
oh, yes, we had that fun when they mandated screen sizes to be metric, for some reason we had those in inches until not so long ago
<teepee>
at some point I think they just dropped the fractions
<InPhase>
Right.
<InPhase>
15.6" is basically 40cm anyway.
<InPhase>
40cm is a whole lot easier to remember. :)

<Scopeuk>
te main bit is familiarity makes things feel intuitive
<Scopeuk>
use inches for 40 years an inch feels "natural"
<Scopeuk>
and a cm involves a mental conversion
<Scopeuk>
the main strength of metric tends to come in when you mix differnt elements if the system
<Scopeuk>
which isn't quite as day to day. people see the extra effort of a conversion and don't see the benefits of comfortably translating volume of water to mass easily
<peepsalot>
was just looking at OpenMesh again, considering as a replacement for our Polyset. their example of how to use openmesh in your own project is bizarre, am i crazy or are they trying to flip dependencies completely backwards?
