Oh yeah. This is important. The future of 3D data. The future of 3D data is meshes, believe it or not. Why is this? Because, in the end, we want to have the 3D equivalent of pixel-based photographs. Mesh points are what bring you closest to that ideal. NURBS, not so much. Probably what we will be aiming for is defining points to be the rendering basis, but using other algorithms to achieve lossy data compression, similar to what is being used for JPEG, but perhaps the concepts will be ported to be based off of NURBS instead. And a combination of bump maps, possibly JPEG compressed, or compressed via a modified DCT/DWT algorithm.
Important! Quick and easy way to to pull in master and rebase your commit to latest.

Oh, the Adafruit page on the Raspberry Pi Zero has some really great advice on using the Pi.

Only 2,000 Raspberry Pi Zeros being produced a day? No wonder why I have such a hard time getting one.

Python Flask REST application note. Listen ‘::’ covers both IPv4 and IPv6. The operating system proxies IPv6 addresses for you.

Convert JSON to XML? Wouldn’t it be convenient for debugging my REST server? Is there a convenient library to do so? Well, it turns out, there isn’t, at least not for the kind of conversion that you want to do. That is, it won’t make it easy for you to apply a CSS stylesheet to the output to view pretty-printed in your browser.

Oh, this is important. How do you curl a numeric IPv6 address? Here’s how:
curl -g -6 -X GET 'http://[::1]:5000/url'

Oh, important features that are missing from Ansible. To be explored more in depth later as to how to actually implement these.
- Schedule a task to be performed at a delayed time. Like changing a machine’s RAM.
Important! How do you visualize Git history? gitk. Having a hard
time resizing the panels? Just look around more carefully, and watch
for when the curor changes.

Also, there’s the related git gui and git-gui commands.
