Why yes actually! Thanks for your quick and very helpful reply

This looks like a good replacement for most of what I do in fusion360, but one operation I'm not sure about is importing an existing SVG file and using it for sketch geometry, say, to put an embossed logo onto something. In looking through the Replicad docs, the only SVG references I saw were about exporting.

Is this something people have done with Replicad? Perhaps with an additional lib for parsing SVG into a set of 2D curves?

Alas, this feature only works for users on the browser app, and not in the mobile apps.

I don't know how you can be pretty sure about any of that, but I look forward to the faster-than-light signaling devices we can build from this new revelation about nature.

Article is a bit broken for me because while the page is https, the mathjax file is loaded from a plain http. This is apparently forbidden by current Chrome and Firefox, so the figures and LaTeX don't work. edit: ah-hah, HTTPS Everywhere must have fiddled with it.

The passenger seats of certain cars use electric field sensing in the seatback to determine if there is an adult passenger present, to decide whether to enable the passenger-side airbag. (Though simply sensing by weight is also common.)

For an example of an electric field sensor, check out the Motorola MC33794.

I have used both languages quite a bit. What I miss from Clojure when doing Haskell is having access to a seemingly infinite collection of libraries (thanks to the JVM/maven/etc). There are of course many libraries on Hackage but the JVM ecosystem dwarfs most others.

I'm from the US and I read it the same way, as a statement that we are far along our course.
