00:08.24 zero57 RONNCC: Sean did say that they had a git repo running though
00:08.40 RONNCC zero57: maybe it's just me ... doesn't look updated but idk
00:08.43 zero57 anyways, I installed svn and are using it right now
00:09.34 zero57 yeah, that's why I asked ;p it didn't seemed like an updated version of brlcad
00:10.17 *** join/#brlcad lachlanp (~lachlan@ppp226-79.static.internode.on.net)

01:09.41 lachlanp seems like no mods atm
01:10.42 GrantMercer015 how long should i generally expect to wait before knowing if my task is complete (task requires code modification). I'm super excited to find out if i finished the task. =
01:15.38 lachlanp it depends greatly
01:15.49 lachlanp on the mentors available
01:18.21 GrantMercer015 its been about 15-16 hours since i submitted it, you think i should be hearing my answer pretty soon?
01:18.28 lachlanp hmm probably
01:18.32 lachlanp thats getting on a bit
01:19.04 lachlanp wonder what Notify bot is doing... nothing being posted here
01:19.20 lachlanp maybe its turned off
01:20.04 GrantMercer015 could be going under an update, maybe a task was to modify a part of the bot and they're switching out O.o
01:20.25 lachlanp ~6h ago i had a task marked complete
01:26.09 GrantMercer015 aww, mine still has that "needsreview" label. Oh well, i bet they'll eventually get to it!
01:27.39 lachlanp yeah

03:51.02 lachlanp :-(
03:51.49 lachlanp is the notify bot down? no comment/revision noise around
03:55.04 brlcad apparently, he's been working on it lately and it gets stuck
03:55.20 lachlanp ok

04:24.58 *** join/#brlcad twitch (~javamonn@108.223.142.86)
04:26.26 twitch So, I'm working on a 'B' model, and I worked out the problem of fitting it all into one region, but I can't figure out how to convert the .g to ascii like Mr. Rossberg suggested. Can anyone help me out?
04:27.48 javamonn I guess this nick would be better
04:28.57 lachlanp hi brlcad: have you got any conventions on defining functions at the top of the code and then declaring them later?
04:29.06 lachlanp (or the other way round if i've got it wrong)
04:29.16 lachlanp it might make reading the tests easier
04:30.39 javamonn I'm pretty sure you declare at the top anyways as just a C convention, makes thing easier on the compiler
04:30.44 javamonn don't ask me though
04:31.46 lachlanp is there such a thing as 'making things easier' for the compiler? ;-)
04:32.03 lachlanp it lets you define them out of order then
04:32.10 lachlanp but its probably mostly for the people
04:37.48 *** join/#brlcad RONNCC (ad49766b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.173.73.118.107)
04:38.14 javamonn C has always been funky like that. Your supposed to declare all your functions as far up as you can with the proper return type otherwise the compiler will just pick the first call of the function as the signature, I believe. Things get screwy when you start to overload functions.
04:38.25 javamonn good ol' K&R
04:38.26 RONNCC brlcad: why? I was loitering for some 8 hours now.. i joined and disjoined a few times. that's why the multiple ones... not because i keep asking ~ i thought i may have missed someone

05:14.49 mansi22 hi all
05:14.56 lachlanp hi
05:15.19 RONNCC lachlanp: they're not here Q_Q
05:15.35 RONNCC lachlanp: brlcad was here for like 1 minute to kick me off for too many "where is everyone" or something :(
05:15.46 mansi22 i'm getting issues while open VS project. It stucks. I'm assuming i did something wrong with CMake

05:31.23 brlcad RONNCC: this is seriously your last warning, your being an asshat
05:32.01 *** join/#brlcad harmanpreet (~chatzilla@124.253.74.97)
05:32.34 RONNCC brlcad: ok. approve my patch please
05:32.50 RONNCC brlcad: this is also the most unresponsive org in GCI i've seen so far
05:32.56 brlcad do you act like this in person?
05:33.16 RONNCC brlcad: oh jees this is painful. please just tell me whats wrong with my patch or approve it so we can get on with this
05:33.23 brlcad we've been crazy responsive all week and monday was the first day there has been a slight backlog
05:33.49 brlcad RONNCC: I think you should just withdraw your work and move on if it's that painful to you
05:33.59 brlcad we're allotted 36 hours
05:34.05 brlcad most of our tasks are reviewed within 12
05:34.06 RONNCC brlcad: this is true. my bad
05:34.27 RONNCC i didn't see monday sorry about that
05:34.34 brlcad most of our students have been patient and curteous as well
05:34.48 RONNCC i see
05:35.15 RONNCC so what is the queue now?
05:37.09 brlcad answering that will not help you be more patient nor help me review remaining tasks more quickly
05:37.18 brlcad as has been obvious, you'll just keep asking where you're at
05:37.20 brlcad i can share
05:37.35 brlcad that they'll all be reviewed within the hour
05:37.39 RONNCC wow
05:38.29 lachlanp do you have a life atm brlcad?
05:39.19 brlcad lachlanp: I've put in around 90 hours into gci over the past 8 days
05:39.27 brlcad lachlanp: so not entirely ;)
05:39.43 lachlanp ok :-)
05:39.48 lachlanp big commitment
05:40.06 brlcad that's also why patience it thin for people that aren't respectful of the time of others, we're all volunteers working hard and (usually) having a great time :)
05:41.01 brlcad few people get on a bad side, that's frankly the first warranted kick we've had in our channel in over a year at least
05:41.20 brlcad and now back to reviews
05:44.34 RONNCC ahh.... sorry about that brlcad: i thought you did this sort of part time and shared it with the other devs here
05:44.44 RONNCC brlcad: sorry to wear on your patience >___<
05:49.50 brlcad other devs are also contributing massive amounts of time as well
05:50.23 RONNCC yup. sorry mate
05:50.29 brlcad it's a big undertaking to be interacting with a 100, well, newbies simultaneously
05:50.41 brlcad we love the interaction, huge potential
05:50.54 brlcad we were the org that has already granted commit status even
05:51.36 RONNCC brlcad: oh holy snap there's 100 of us O_O
05:51.52 RONNCC brlcad: really sorry then mate. i've only seen like 3 or 4 people when i'm here
05:52.12 brlcad many don't find their way to IRC
05:52.33 brlcad some require private discussions because they're working on production web infrastructure
05:52.41 brlcad others just need .. help
05:55.11 RONNCC ... don't understand your last sentence but ok. by the way who makes the deuces? they seem very self encapsulating
05:56.58 brlcad our dev team did
05:57.38 brlcad last sentence was just implying that some students require substantially more help than others
05:59.30 brlcad some basically none at all, some we have to help find our website
05:59.34 brlcad and everything in between
06:00.05 RONNCC mhmm continuous distribution :D
06:00.11 RONNCC would you say it's gaussian
06:04.02 brlcad hard to say at this point, but probably

07:16.17 Ashish101 Yup i had given mine just for chekup - is it right or wrong ..
07:19.39 bhlegm brlcad you don't like pink? or how things are placed? in piwigo
07:22.59 brlcad bhlegm: heh, don't worry about the style
07:23.08 bhlegm im just wondering xP
07:23.13 brlcad we'll fold that into our main website when the time comes and rebrand it :)
07:23.20 brlcad but yes, both :)
07:23.43 brlcad Ashish101: which task?
07:24.04 Ashish101 http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8021209
07:24.19 lachlanp i like the title of that one
07:24.22 brlcad crash archer, right?
07:24.44 brlcad ah, yeah
07:24.48 bhlegm and ya there are other themes on how things are placed :P
07:25.42 Ashish101 yes that one
07:25.53 lachlanp hey Ashish101 - i'm getting that error all the time on my brlcad... its doing that for heaps of buttons
07:26.07 brlcad Ashish101: so for starters, please no .doc or .docx or other microsoftness ;)
07:26.16 brlcad Ashish101: text files work great ;)
07:26.26 Ashish101 :) KK PDF ??
07:26.28 brlcad or rtf even
07:26.34 brlcad editable is good
07:26.37 lachlanp he's got images in it
07:26.45 lachlanp screenshots
07:26.47 brlcad yeah, so rtf
07:26.58 brlcad or rtfd even
07:27.14 Ashish101 KK I see Should i upload the test file again ??
07:27.23 brlcad no, for future reference
07:28.06 brlcad Ashish101: so you certainly found a run-time error, but did that bring down archer?
07:28.42 brlcad that's a tcl error, which sucks and is something to fix, but not exactly what the task prescribed ;)
07:28.50 Ashish101 no That just didnt let me use that function
07:29.21 brlcad try to crash it ;)
07:29.29 brlcad should be easily doable with archer
07:29.39 Ashish101 Oh OK So i have to do something to just kill Archer and not find internal bugs
07:29.40 brlcad as it's not undergone much robustness testing
07:29.44 brlcad right
07:29.49 Ashish101 yes

08:57.09 mansi22 hangs
08:58.27 d_rossberg visual studio needs a lot of time to load all BRL-CAD projects, therefore be patient
08:59.25 mansi22 as soon as i minimize it i can't see the window

09:35.51 lachlanp hi
09:35.55 lachlanp where does the bu_log output go?
09:36.21 lachlanp or shouldn't i test the bu_avs_print (which dumps the attribute/value set to the bu_log)
09:36.57 *** join/#brlcad archivist (~archivist@host81-149-189-98.in-addr.btopenworld.com)
09:37.14 lachlanp and should i test the bu_avs_add_vls (which adds a Variable Length String)
09:43.00 d_rossberg the bu_log output goes to a hook-function (you can define your own), usually the console
09:43.08 lachlanp ok
09:43.44 d_rossberg and yes, please test all bu_avs_~ functions
09:43.57 lachlanp testing if it prints properly would be a bit of work... (defintely doable though)
09:44.02 lachlanp just a pain
09:44.18 lachlanp yes will test bu_avs_add_vls
09:45.05 lachlanp sorry was that a "yes test it" for bu_avs_print?
09:45.50 d_rossberg you could define your own hook-funktion which writes the output to the memory
09:46.08 lachlanp ok
09:46.23 d_rossberg and then compare this memory content with the expected resule
09:46.37 d_rossberg result
09:47.24 lachlanp ok willdo
09:57.47 lachlanp whats the point of the bu_avs_add_unique function?
09:57.55 lachlanp where will you ever know it has a duplicate?
09:58.00 mansi22 Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Validating DocBook source with xmllint:"
09:59.30 lachlanp afaik it will only show up when you print it out
09:59.48 lachlanp or if you use the remove function
10:17.48 d_rossberg mansi22: problems with building the documentation aren't unusual under visual studio

11:45.34 Skriptkid d_rossberg: What do I do about the One-sheet Hyperboloid Surface Area equation?
11:48.32 d_rossberg the point is: i don't know if the formula is ok, but maybe another mentor knows
11:49.01 Skriptkid Do I wait now?
11:49.36 d_rossberg however, you should know if your equation contains the area of the elliptical surfaces at the top and bottom of the solid
11:50.33 Skriptkid erik said that except some changes in code everything else wa fine
11:50.39 Skriptkid *was
11:51.22 Skriptkid but hang on. this is a hyperboloid. Not elliptical
11:53.40 d_rossberg i meant the 2 end-surfaces
11:55.10 d_rossberg the solid is buils from 3 surfaces: one hyperboloid and two elliptical
11:55.58 Skriptkid I dont know about that. Do I have to write another function for the elliptical surfaces also?
11:56.15 Skriptkid I guess it's already there in ell.c
11:58.24 d_rossberg you have to write a surface function for the hyp solid, and the surface of this solid can be stripped down to 3 parts ...
12:00.06 d_rossberg giving only the hyperbolic part would be not enough
12:01.17 *** join/#brlcad Al_Da_Best (Al_Da_Best@cpc2-shep12-2-0-cust21.8-3.cable.virginmedia.com)
12:01.46 Skriptkid So what do I need to do now?
12:02.15 Skriptkid Call the ell_surface_area and multiply it by two and add it to this?
12:05.18 d_rossberg first, you should add a reference for the formala to the source code (if possible), it looks like it's not trivial
12:05.56 Skriptkid it's there in the comments. I got it from WolframAlpha. Hang on. I'll send it here
12:05.59 d_rossberg for the elliptical surfaces: are they always identical?
12:06.11 Skriptkid http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Hyperboloid.html
12:08.10 Skriptkid I don't know. But I guess even the elliptical surfaces are included, as the formula is for the SA of the whole hyperboloid
12:09.20 d_rossberg hyperboloid is a surface, not a solid - but hyp is a solid, i.e. you need the closing surfaces in addition
12:12.10 Skriptkid I know that. Take a look at this: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=one-sheeted+hyperboloid. Have I got the right thing?
12:14.56 Skriptkid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid
12:14.57 Skriptkid So
12:15.03 Skriptkid the top and bottom are not closed
12:15.13 d_rossberg you see
12:15.22 Skriptkid you mean to say that they need to be closed?
12:15.34 Skriptkid Now hollow as in the wikipedia page
12:15.35 d_rossberg close them and you have the hyp solid
12:15.36 Skriptkid ?
12:15.37 Skriptkid *not
12:15.41 Skriptkid Ok
12:15.53 Skriptkid So the top and bottom surfaces are ellipses
12:15.54 Skriptkid ?
12:16.43 Skriptkid the closing surfaces, I mean
12:17.20 d_rossberg i'm not entirely sure, but as everything is quadratic these should be quadratic surfaces (in the plan), therefore elliptical
12:19.00 Skriptkid Ok. So, now, shall I port the rt_ell_surface_area to this function, so that I get the area of closing surfaces also? I have the SA of the hyperboloid, I now get the SA of the top and bottom elliptical closing surfaces and I'll just add them. I have the SA of the hyp solid
12:21.04 d_rossberg i'm afraid that rt_ell_surface_area() won't help much as this computes the area of a 3D ellipsoid solid
12:21.21 d_rossberg this is different from a plane ellipsis
12:23.19 *** join/#brlcad xavortm (xavortm@93.155.146.15)
12:23.23 Skriptkid All the task says is I need to compute Surface area of a one-sheeted hyperboloid. The description and references and my research didn't point to the closing surfaces at all. So could I please get an extension if there's more work?
12:24.01 Skriptkid That wasn't pointed out by any mentor either before.
12:27.32 d_rossberg i'm quite sure that the area function should return the area of the whole solid not only a part of it, but you may ask anothe mentor as well
12:28.14 Skriptkid Alright. I'll do the whole solid. Could you tell me what the closing surfaces are again?
12:28.23 Skriptkid ellipsoids?
12:29.59 Skriptkid d_rossberg: or just plane circles, as I'm see in some images.
12:30.05 d_rossberg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse
12:30.46 d_rossberg just plane circles: maybe
12:31.50 Skriptkid d_rossberg: What do I calculate the area for. Circles or Ellipses?
12:32.04 Skriptkid Or 2 seperate funcs for both?
12:33.14 Skriptkid If it's circle, major axis = minor axis, else, ellipse, right?
12:33.39 d_rossberg right
12:33.51 Skriptkid okay. Thats it? or anymore work needed?
12:45.42 d_rossberg maybe we should ask another mentor: in the data of the hyp (rt_hyp_internal) are a semi-major and -minor axis: does this mean the hyperboloid isn't rotation-symmetrical?
12:49.59 d_rossberg http://mathworld.wolfram.com/EllipticHyperboloid.html
12:51.44 brlcad Skriptkid: yep, the whole solid (I would have thought the trimming surfaces are implied, otherwise it's just infinity no?)
12:53.20 Skriptkid brlcad: So is my formula for the hyperboloid surface wrong?

13:06.01 Skriptkid crap. ok. need some help. I found this: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=elliptic+hyperboloid. But I don't understand what 'u' and the 'v' are, which are being differentiated

13:19.55 Silvrous There's been a change to the wiki front page, changing the content to "how to stop coughing"
13:20.12 d_rossberg there is no closed formula for the area, only for dA which needs to be integrated (where v goes from 0 to 2pi)
13:20.15 Silvrous I assumed it was vandalism, and reverted it
13:21.20 Skriptkid d_rossberg: Didnt understand that
13:21.33 d_rossberg Skriptkid: at the moment the math doesn't look trivial to me
13:22.42 d_rossberg dA(u, v) gives the change of the area in the point (u, v), i.e. A = integral dA
13:23.29 Skriptkid Oh. But I'm unable to find any surface area formulae for elliptic hyperboloids other than that.
13:29.19 d_rossberg all i can say is: it would cost me some days to undestand the formulas and develop a solution ;)
13:30.32 Skriptkid d_rossberg: LOL :) There are descriptions everywhere on the web but nowhere the formula.
13:31.12 Skriptkid d_rossberg: Guess I'll unlcaim this and move on to some other task. Wasted 4 days on this.

13:34.18 Skriptkid d_rossberg: So finally, when you said "I don't think the math is trivial at the moment," did you mean you didn't know it would be this hard when the task was set? Or is it just that I couldn't ind anything?

14:06.59 brlcad as for whether your equation is right or wrong, I haven't looked at it

14:17.05 Skriptkid brlcad : Wow. Thanks for that :D
14:17.13 brlcad a student just reported that a few hours ago
14:17.21 caen23 did he include logs or anything?
14:17.25 brlcad nope
14:17.41 brlcad it makes sense, it's probably just set up to try and run xmllint, which isn't installed
14:17.49 caen23 is it possible his setup is broken?
14:17.59 brlcad needs to test for the tool any only try to run it if available
14:18.28 brlcad more than likely, our build files are just not set up properly for a platform without xmllint
14:18.50 caen23 oh, ok then
14:21.03 caen23 and regarding my current task ("close mged when both windows are closed"), i think this might be a feature, not a bug? i think it was purposely written so that everything is deleted when the graphics window is closed, so fixing it would require quite a lot of work
14:21.29 *** join/#brlcad hsrai (~quassel@202.164.53.117)
14:24.13 brlcad caen23: so yes it was purposely written that way, but then the "bug" is that the two windows are inconsistent. closing the command console does not delete anything.
14:24.39 brlcad the task could be to make them consistent first, so closing either shuts down mged
14:25.08 brlcad there are good use cases for allowing either to remain open, though, so the ultimate goal is as it describes
14:25.35 brlcad if you have a sense for what all the work required is, perhaps you can document what that work is and we can see if it can be described in terms of a series of tasks
14:25.49 brlcad or at least be documented for when someone has time to do it
14:26.59 caen23 i believe that currently, the command window is a child of the graphics window, but i'm not entirely sure. also, i've noticed that closing the cmw window does delete the menu bar, perhaps so that you can't use the menu inside the graphical window to open the command window

16:44.30 brlcad there are other mentors working on tasks, you'll just have to be patient or look at your work yourself and see if you can think of any ways to improve it

16:49.06 brlcad according to that page, you just uploaded some work but aren't done with it
16:49.40 brlcad how are the mentors reviewing supposed to know when you're done or are expecting a review? they're not all on IRC
16:50.24 brlcad also, rar files are rather annoying.. can you make it a tar.gz or tar.bz2?
