| 21:07.21 | maths22 | brlcad: is it downloaded? |
| 21:12.28 | brlcad | maths22: yep, all done |
| 21:12.56 | brlcad | it'll be a day or two before I free up space to test it -- we have some gci announcements to prepare (and the website migration work) |
| 21:13.04 | maths22 | ok. that way I can disable the share login. |
| 21:13.13 | maths22 | I don't want that out there for too long/ |
| 21:13.49 | maths22 | (the access, not the file) |
| 21:29.40 | starseeker | brlcad: yeah, not a product announcement yet - but the first positive sign I've seen in a while that the industry is going to try and follow apple down the retina display road |
| 21:31.27 | starseeker | "caught the PC industry off guard" is putting it mildly - they were so silent about whether they were even going to plan to offer anything like that display I was kinda worried they were hiding under the boardroom tables and hoping it would all go away |
| 21:33.38 | andrei_ | starseeker: why do you consider the retina display such a crucial improvement ? |
| 21:34.06 | andrei_ | I mean, I have seen flexible displays, lately. I consider that a much bigger accomplishment |
| 21:34.47 | starseeker | andrei_: retina displays let me a) fit more stuff on the screen simultaneously and b) view big images at full quality |
| 21:35.49 | starseeker | finds flexible displays technically impressive, but largely "meh" functionality wise |
| 21:36.21 | starseeker | specific applicaitons where they will be useful, but I've never had a real problem with "hard" display screens |
| 21:36.24 | andrei_ | Doesn't Apple have patent on retina display ? |
| 21:36.53 | starseeker | they probably have a trademark on "retina display" - I doubt they can patent "high resolution" displays |
| 21:37.33 | starseeker | I use "retina" only to make it clear that I'm not referring to the non-apple state-of-the-PC-art high PPI displays |
| 21:37.52 | andrei_ | I have never used a mac so far, but I have seen many developers use macs in U.S. |
| 21:38.02 | starseeker | Essentially, I'm hoping this will mean the return of the IBM T221 style desktop monitor |
| 21:38.20 | starseeker | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_T220/T221_LCD_monitors |
| 21:38.43 | andrei_ | was looking at it just now |
| 21:38.58 | starseeker | andrei_: if they get linux working reliably on the Apple retina display hardware, that might be OK too |
| 21:40.05 | starseeker | refuses to buy in to the Mac OSX thing - too closed. Pretty, but seeing as I use a dark grey fluxbox desktop at home "pretty" doesn't really factor in ;-) |
| 21:40.24 | andrei_ | I have to admit, the resolution is significantly larger |
| 21:40.50 | starseeker | screens are ultimately about displaying as much information as possible as usefully as possible - it's not unusual for me to have a dozen or more terminals open |
| 21:41.41 | starseeker | plus PDF papers, web browsers with project pages, etc. - the more screen real estate available, the more "parallel" my monitoring and switching between information inputs |
| 21:42.39 | starseeker | I tend to have rather small fonts, especially on terminals - usually what I'm doing in a terminal is launching a process or monitoring it's progress via watching "text flow" |
| 21:42.49 | andrei_ | I was using a 17' monitor until a year ago or so and when I switched from 17' to 30' I was like : " so many vsplits possible " |
| 21:43.02 | starseeker | hehe |
| 21:44.39 | starseeker | it really does make a difference - I was surprised |
| 21:45.16 | starseeker | has considered trying to get a T221 via ebay or some such, but not immediately clear how difficult it would be to get it working properly |
| 21:46.45 | andrei_ | it takes quite some gear to get it running, for a monitor, at least. |
| 21:46.52 | starseeker | with any luck, the Apple retina displays will finally bring in a new generation of really high PPI displays and I can assemble a 3x(3840x2400) monitor setup without jumping through insane hardware hoops :-) |
| 21:48.08 | andrei_ | that means an incredible amount of info |
| 21:48.39 | andrei_ | but, speaking about that, I don't think it will be easy to have the appropriate videocard(s) setup |
| 21:49.04 | starseeker | it will probably usher in another few generations of new video cards |
| 21:49.33 | andrei_ | and here I mean working with BRL-CAD because I think the GUI insn't incredibly hard to render |
| 21:49.38 | starseeker | thinks NVIDIA and friends should be happy about that - another reason for *everybody* to upgrade their video cards, not just hardcore gamers |
| 21:50.18 | starseeker | andrei_: sorry? not following - why would BRL-CAD have trouble? |
| 21:50.49 | andrei_ | I meant doing 3d modeling probably puts a lot more work onto the graphics card than loading a GUI |
| 21:51.18 | starseeker | ah - sure |
| 21:51.18 | andrei_ | but in fact, BRL-CAD uses images, not frames |
| 21:51.25 | andrei_ | or so I believe |
| 21:51.49 | starseeker | andrei_: if you're using the openGL backend the card will make a difference |
| 21:51.57 | andrei_ | I was thinking at some example I encountered a few days ago in openGL |
| 21:52.17 | andrei_ | I don't remember the exact name, but I know there is a list used for static objects that significantly improves performance |
| 21:52.29 | andrei_ | display lists, or something like that. |
| 21:52.41 | starseeker | over time, will probably start to look more like "standard" cad modelers by default, and that'll involve using GPUs for casual 3D displays... |
| 21:53.01 | starseeker | yeah, display lists - we can use those, even in MGED |
| 21:53.16 | andrei_ | I was impressed about the difference they can make |
| 21:53.39 | starseeker | holy cow, there is an 80 megapixel digital camera out there... |
| 21:53.51 | starseeker | now there's a good excuse for a high PPI display |
| 21:54.08 | andrei_ | I might be wrong but there are some companies planning to get 40 megapixel on smartphones |
| 21:54.43 | starseeker | notes 16 megapixels is nothing special anymore... wow, we were glad to have 4/5 megapixel cameras just a few years ago |
| 21:55.00 | andrei_ | indeed |
| 21:55.17 | andrei_ | now I can say " When I was young ..we used to have VGA cameras on phones " |
| 21:55.36 | starseeker | actually picked up a 4 megapixel camera for ten bucks at a yard sale - cost $300 new just a few years ago |
| 21:55.37 | ``Erik | when I was young, phones didn't have cameras, and they plugged into the wall |
| 21:55.50 | andrei_ | hahaha |
| 21:56.33 | ``Erik | starseeker: you can run that 'leenewx' thing on mac hw, or fbsd... and for the most part, apple is surprisingly open O.o darwin is the core kernel, the bsd userland is all open, etc |
| 21:57.35 | starseeker | projects like this look more affordable by the day: http://www.diybookscanner.org/ |
| 21:57.59 | starseeker | pretty soon you'll be able to fish *everything* you need out of the trash - cameras included |
| 21:58.46 | andrei_ | starseeker: that looks like some torture machine |
| 21:58.57 | starseeker | ``Erik: sure, the non-GUI parts of Apple aren't bad - but they're a pain in the neck when it comes to encouraging the "locked down, app store" mentality with users |
| 22:00.37 | ``Erik | hate to say it, but I think a majority consider that a boon... I'd also point out that there're more automatic transmissions in the US than manuals, people would rather have it 'just work' than have control and freedom |
| 22:01.30 | starseeker | ``Erik: agreed. All the more reason to make sure I put my own $$ somewhere that preserves the alternatives |
| 22:02.43 | starseeker | doesn't object to things being easy or well done - but in his case, both of those considerations are trumped by the desire to be in control of my own machine |
| 22:04.54 | starseeker | with any luck, system76 will have a "Retina Display" laptop option by the time I actually need to replace my old Thinkpad (which will be a while - it's still working fine, and it's now so old a thief stealing it would probably lose money paying for their getaway gas) |
