13:25.18 siggraph matt_ezeki_230: clone does not yet work on db 5 databases.. I should have disabeled it, but unintentionally left it enabled for the past release
13:27.17 siggraph TechNeck: it certainly doesn't replace autocad out of the box, but we also certainly could fill in the missing pieces with development
13:27.29 siggraph we're mostly at a lack of dev hands, not ideas or plans ;)
13:28.15 clock_ siggraph: like everybody
13:28.38 siggraph to some extents
13:28.59 siggraph some projects I've worked on are actually at a sweet spot of developer activity
13:29.35 siggraph 5 or 6 active devs is pretty ideal if they are globally distributed, a few more if you can all get together more consistently
13:30.23 siggraph (and by active, I mean very active.. fully invested in development)
13:31.15 siggraph matt_ezeki_230: basically, you'll need to use the Pattern tool (on the Tools menu) instead of the clone command for now
13:32.20 siggraph TechNeck: you have an extrusion that is crashing? I'd be interested in knowing what steps you took that caused it..
13:40.33 matt_ezeki_230 siggraph: ok! It works! many thanks :-)
13:41.57 ``Erik damn shootray is one bigassed function
13:43.50 clock_ ``Erik: I say ass so wide one could project 20 widescreen movies on it
13:49.06 ``Erik iiiiiinteresting
13:49.35 clock_ ``Erik: Especially in connection with women. My sexual subsystem is not particularly tuned to women and their wide asses ;-)

13:58.42 matt_ezeki_230 siggraph: only a last question... I choose tab named "rectangular", depth of duplication = primitives, source string = rab, replacement string = k1, objects = rab.r and I obtained a cloned region k1.r builded with primitives a.s_1 and b.s_1. Is there a way to obtain k1.r builded with primitives k1_a.s (instead of a.s_1) and k1_b.s (instead of b.s_1) **in a straight manner** (e.i without to use command "mvall" to rename them

17:25.05 IriX64 who is peer, and why is he always resetting my connection. :)
17:34.24 IriX64 you people must be very very busy, I would hate to have your jobs. :)
17:58.38 siggraph IriX64: always very very busy, but I actually rather enjoy my job :)
17:59.26 siggraph though enjoying one's job is almost entirely just a state of mind, personal tolerance, and values
18:01.00 IriX64 thought it was a matter of payola ;)
18:01.44 IriX64 must admit enough payola contributes greatly to the enjoment of one job. :)
18:01.56 IriX64 enjoyment too.
18:03.28 siggraph nah
18:03.40 IriX64 heh ok.
18:03.52 siggraph i'd work for a heck of a lot less if someone bought me my toys and kept me fed
18:04.20 IriX64 agreed feel the same way.
18:04.28 siggraph that just gets back to tolerance and values.. some value the pay and not the work
18:04.50 IriX64 true way too much importance is attached to dollars.
18:06.20 ``Erik money is a means, not an end...
18:06.36 IriX64 if it was an end i could quit work.

18:06.56 archivist not enough money == not enough toys (my current situation)
18:07.10 ``Erik buy cheaper toys?
18:07.18 ``Erik you can do some gnarly stuff with 74xx ttl's
18:07.59 IriX64 quick i just threw you a 7404 what did you do with it? :)
18:08.12 ``Erik stick it up my nose
18:08.18 archivist I collect free toys others throw away
18:08.31 IriX64 erik there 3 othe pices.
18:08.38 ``Erik without some kinda board, wiring, solder, i/o devices, etc... that's about what it's good forr
18:08.57 IriX64 name a toy.
18:09.27 IriX64 trs80?
18:09.32 archivist HP 1631D logic analyser
18:09.43 IriX64 thats hp 16540
18:10.10 IriX64 analyzer :)
18:10.28 IriX64 ermf anal izer :)
18:11.59 ``Erik or mebbe an oh40 for the onboard fpu
18:12.22 IriX64 man that an sx chip.
18:12.58 IriX64 wonder if i can support the amdahl?
18:14.25 IriX64 those guys are tight lipped about their instuction set (unless you're a customer)
18:14.33 ``Erik erm...
18:14.44 ``Erik the motorola 68030 is a very old, open, and widely known chip...
18:14.58 ``Erik not TOO long ago, they'd send you free opcode and schematic books
18:15.00 IriX64 thought that was the m68000
18:15.16 ``Erik the whole 68k line
18:15.32 IriX64 mmm pdp11 on a chip that one i know.
18:15.38 ``Erik 030 added an onboard mmu, 040 added an onboard fpu...
18:16.41 archivist I have a few motorolas in my cpu collection some on the original boards
18:17.02 IriX64 12737 301 777566 ===> mov the number following this instruction to the address following that number, nowq whats it doing?
18:17.47 IriX64 prints a capital a on the console typer :)
18:19.58 IriX64 must go buy a case of sandwiches, be back in a bit.
18:49.30 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/include/machine.h: adding {free,open,net}bsd to the ugly hackery
19:53.55 ``Erik siggraph: ap->a_onehit intends for only the very first 'in' (assuming you start 'out') hit to be used?

20:05.49 siggraph ``Erik: pretty much
20:06.11 ``Erik erm... "pretty much"?
20:06.28 siggraph it computes the first hitpoint along a ray
20:07.12 ``Erik a lot of primitives go ahead and do the first and second hitpoints... in and out... :/
20:07.16 siggraph and instead of progressing the ray more, it halts
20:08.32 ``Erik of course, a lot of primitives get that for free :)
20:09.15 siggraph yes, some do.. and they probably shouldn't
20:09.20 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/librt/bool.c: don't complain about an inside-out primitive when 'out' is unset and a_onehit is set
20:09.24 siggraph but is generally already computed information
20:12.25 siggraph hmm.. i'm not sure that is valid
20:12.54 ``Erik why not?
20:14.03 siggraph a_onehit serves multiple purposes
20:14.28 siggraph if a_onehit == 1, then it should be only the first in point if I read the comments correctly
20:14.42 siggraph value of 2 would be the first entry/exit pair
20:14.49 ``Erik meh, the manpage is off?
20:15.12 siggraph which manpage?
20:15.27 ``Erik librt
20:15.39 siggraph read src/librt/bool.c's comment
20:15.47 ``Erik makes it sound like a boolean, not a count
20:16.11 siggraph for 'rt', it's used as a boolean
20:19.40 ``Erik 'k, taken care of
20:24.00 siggraph should update NEWS when you make changes like machine.h .. that fixes crashing problems if I'm not mistaken
20:24.09 siggraph no?
20:24.32 ``Erik nope
20:24.50 ``Erik the default stuff worked on bsd, it just didn't go parallel by default
20:25.38 siggraph not even the 64bit addage?
20:26.59 ``Erik ooh
20:27.01 ``Erik shit
20:27.56 ``Erik gnarly
20:28.01 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/NEWS: added note about the machine.h changes
20:28.58 siggraph heh, bzzt
20:29.13 siggraph user-visible changes dude
20:29.59 siggraph it's also a stack
20:30.10 siggraph and one-line per entry
20:30.10 ``Erik meh
20:30.12 siggraph sheesh
20:30.28 ``Erik heh, is it one line, or 80?
20:31.26 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: improved FreeBSD 64bit support, fix AMD64 crash
20:31.40 ``Erik gheh
20:31.43 ``Erik bastage
20:32.01 siggraph one line per user-visible change, less than 70 chars per line .. just like the file says..
20:32.08 ``Erik <-- fixes his own mistakes o.O
20:32.49 ``Erik heh, and allowing parallel tracing isn't worthy? :)
20:33.19 ``Erik <-- did it to set PARALLEL, fixing that bool bug on amd64 was a pleasant surprise...
20:33.41 siggraph which bool bug on amd64?
20:33.45 siggraph the havoc crash?
20:33.53 ``Erik yes, that I'm about to close in the tracker
20:34.21 siggraph heh, forgot all about checking the BITV length
20:34.56 siggraph that stupid int needs to be provided by configure
20:35.11 ``Erik several things do, machine.h should go away
20:35.18 ``Erik imho.
20:42.39 siggraph it should
20:42.54 siggraph that's just a rather big undertaking to fully realize
20:43.10 siggraph i've started on some of the pieces here, started some of it on the train
20:44.06 siggraph each change impacts several hundred files often in non-scriptable ways
20:44.54 ``Erik *nod*
20:45.52 siggraph finally got tkCanvBezier separated from libtk
20:47.18 siggraph what's amazing is that non-debug worked without setting the correct BITV length
20:47.24 siggraph it should have crashed
20:48.43 siggraph implies something wierd like non-debug is using 32 bit ints under the hood or something similar
20:48.48 ``Erik aight, if a_onehit means 'number of hits to compute, or all if 0', what's a negative value mean?
20:49.09 siggraph the comment talks about < 0
20:49.16 siggraph or at least shoot.c does iirc
20:49.31 siggraph basically indicates whether to count air
20:49.57 ``Erik *read*
20:54.21 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/HACKING: minor comment about keeping docs up to date, communicating changes
20:59.34 ``Erik <-- goes home O.o
20:59.53 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/librt/g_metaball.c: Implemented rt_metaball_class. Fixed a_onehit handling in rt_metaball_shot.
21:00.47 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: forgot to mention that this fixes sf bug #1469502: FreeBSD6/amd64 rt segfault when optimization enabled
