Issues to Trello?
by Matthew Turk 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi all, What would you all think of having new issues reported to Trello? I would worry about issues then being updated in two places (or one instead of two), but it feels like Trello is just a way more natural fit for how we work than the BB issue tracker. Maybe I'm wrong on that... Anyway, we can have them forwarded via email, or use one of the connectors out there to have them go there. But maybe it would just fragment things. -Matt

Splitting a compound unit into its atoms
by John ZuHone 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

This should be obvious to me, but I can't seem to figure it out. Is there a way to take a compound units expression like: dyne*cm**2/g**2 and split it into its constituent parts, so that I have a list like this: [dyne, cm, g] and maybe even containing the information about the powers?

yt-3.0 two heads
by Michael Zingale 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

At the moment, in the yt repo, we have two heads on the yt-3.0 branch -- is that what we want? I try merging them in my local copy and it doesn't go cleanly. -- Michael Zingale Associate Professor Dept. of Physics & Astronomy • Stony Brook University • Stony Brook, NY 11794-3800 *phone*: 631-632-8225 *e-mail*: Michael.Zingale(a)stonybrook.edu *web*: http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/mzingale

Will update with an example when I get a chance. Something is either transposed or not done correctly during the projection Responsible: samskillman

Bitbucket/hg documentation PR
by Nathan Goldbaum 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Hi all, Chris Malone just opened a pull request to improve our documentation of PR workflows on bitbucket, particularly how to have multiple simultaneous pull requests open. https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-request/1227/docs-on-handling-mul… The PR looks good to me right now, but I'd very much appreciate it if an hg novice could look it over and point out anything that's confusing. Thanks for your help! -Nathan

Issue #912: Be careful about "thermal energy" uses in yt (yt_analysis/yt)
by Chris Malone 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

New issue 912: Be careful about "thermal energy" uses in yt https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/912/be-careful-about-thermal-ene… Chris Malone: This came up in the comments of a PR. In essence, @mzingale summarized the issue quite well: "I'm a little concerned about the name thermal energy. We don't necessarily have thermal energy easily available [in Maestro]. We have internal energy, or gas energy, but when we are very degenerate, the internal energy is not thermal, so the name thermal energy is misleading and perhaps dangerous. Since this is a yt convention, maybe for these codes we should return an error if thermal energy is requested and perhaps we can define a more code-agnostic general name for the gas internal energy that can be used in situations where thermal energy is wrong."
