I can sum up the main ones I've seen:

- the first is people not knowing how it works and thinking it will take more time, while it's actually just a glorified commit/push with git-send-email
- second is people not wanting to show their address, which I find weird when contributing to FLOSS
- third, which is fair, is that review is less convenient than on interactive forges with GUI; sourcehut is definitely lacking there

@alcinnz
Nice :)

BTW, looking at https://argonaut-constellation.org/ reminded me that I wanted to give Rhapsode a try; is there an install howto somewhere? (or even pre-packaged version?)

@alcinnz @wizzwizz4 well, honestly, you don't need anything beyond its Taylor expansion and you already have the approximation written above the DS variables so I think you're good.
Maybe just: it's anti-symmetric (sin(-x) = -sin(x)) and that's why the exponents are all odd.

@alcinnz
Honestly, if you figure it out, I'm interested: I understand the maths but the actual implementation is a bit strange ^^"
They approximate sin by its Taylor expansion up to the 13th order (x^13) and then use Horner's method to evaluate the polygon (it's an optimal algorithm for polynomial evaluation).
They use the fact that all exponents are separated by 2. But I'm not sure why they separate the call (faster?) or why they define y3 after using it in the previous expression
