17:00.39 kanzure https://github.com/GreatDevelopers/wBRLCAD/blob/master/table
17:00.43 kanzure that.. that does not look good.
17:00.56 kanzure how is that "excellent"
17:08.53 brlcad kanzure: so.. you're working on something better right? :)
17:09.25 kanzure huh? brlcad already has a working scripting language
17:09.39 kanzure there's no reason to throw it all away
17:09.39 brlcad I think it's awesome if only because the end result is something that nobody else has done before
17:09.48 kanzure cgi?
17:09.51 brlcad the system is meant to be scripted just like that
17:09.56 kanzure you're fooling yourself if you think cgi is new
17:10.03 brlcad hm?
17:10.07 kanzure anyway, i am just cranky that i clicked and saw that
17:10.22 kanzure shapesmith at least bothers to send objects as json between the client and server
17:10.31 kanzure (not that json is the important part; it's the messages/transactions that matter)
17:11.03 caen23 he was talking about the end product, not code… it's html and some bash, it wasn't the code that was excellent
17:11.25 brlcad this has absolutely nothing to do with cgi
17:11.49 kanzure ok what was excellent then
17:12.34 brlcad that a high school student was able to figure out all the pieces to interactively create and render geometry on top of a fairly complex system, and do that in the span of just a couple days
17:12.53 kanzure ageism is the worst.
17:13.06 brlcad wtf
17:13.14 kanzure anyway, i guess it would have been helpful to say "it's excellent because he's young"
17:13.27 kanzure that would have put it in more context to see why anyone would think it's that
17:13.32 brlcad it would have been excellent had anyone done it
17:13.36 kanzure really??
17:14.30 brlcad but knowing that he's inexperienced does make it more interesting if only because I'd rather encourage someone inexperienced to become more experienced than piss in their cheerios because someone somewhere has a better idea
17:14.36 kanzure anyway, when he's around could you ping me? if he wants to make web things with brlcad, i think there's some better things he could be implementing.
17:15.25 ``Erik *cough* *cough* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scaAz1zcdXI *cough*
17:16.17 kanzure i mean, if he wants guidance on how to make brlcad instances usable through a browser safely
17:16.20 kanzure or something like that
17:17.12 ``Erik he made an mvp, dude
17:17.39 kanzure i would have serious hesitations about rolling that into the brlcad repo
17:17.49 kanzure wait, i mean i do have
17:19.08 caen23 do you really have nothing better to do than comment on some code written in a few days by a high school student? code which, by the way, no one is rolling anywhere…
17:19.41 kanzure yes, i think code review is super important
17:20.28 caen23 it's not called code review if you're ranting without the person being present
17:20.47 kanzure he's not present?
17:22.03 caen23 do you see him answering your "review"?
17:22.29 brlcad kanzure: questioning others for finding it cool and interesting when you did not is far from a code review
17:22.43 kanzure ok let's try this a different way. what is the actual argument for committing this?
17:22.54 ``Erik no one has made that argument
17:23.22 kanzure okay.
17:23.45 brlcad expressing your dissatisfaction is similarly not be a useful criticism
17:25.27 brlcad that is the student's own github repo, and good for him for committing his work to a version control system
17:25.30 brlcad people should do that more often
17:29.01 brlcad if you think you could actually achieve what the student did with a better design or fewer lines of code, I'd be interested in seeing that
17:29.17 brlcad not hearing about it though, ideas are easy, talk is cheap
17:29.50 brlcad but then if someone wants to go down that route, there are other tasks that would be more in line with our long-term goals

22:32.09 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54198 brlcad/trunk/src/util/bombardier.c: clean up the wording a little bit
