We've Moved


The blog has been retired - it's up for legacy reasons, but these days I'm blogging at blog.theodox.com. All of the content from this site has been replicated there, and that's where all of the new content will be posted. The new feed is here . I'm experimenting with crossposting from the live site, but if you want to keep up to date use blog.theodox.com or just theodox.com

minor minq manifestations

Blogging has been super light, thanks to the triple whammy of a milestone, a cold, and my grand plan to migrate this blog over to a static site generator.  However I did want to mention that I've been trying to update the minq wiki page so it is more accessible. I'd appreciate any feedback, comments or suggestions to make it clearer.  When you write something yourself you just accept as natural the quirks and habits of thought that go with it, so it's handy to have outside eyes when you're writing documentation.

I've added a couple of minor features as well.  There's a  bunch of operators for counting things -- for example you can get the vertex count of meshes with something like Meshes().get(VertCounts) . On a somewhat related note all streams have a count() function which will return the length of the stream, and a first() method which will pull the head item from a stream -- which is handy if you expect to narrow down to a single item and don't want a single-item iterable.

Last but not least I'd love to hear from the community about good minq hacks -- I'll be happy to add cool ones to the examples file. I'd also appreciate any bugs you find going into the issues page!
