IRC log for #brlcad on 20130419

00:00.54 kanzure was that just because someone bulk downloaded papers?
00:01.32 starseeker no, you're probably thinking of JSTOR and Aaron Swartz
00:02.00 kanzure i'm familiar with aaronsw's work, but i specifically remember something about the reason for nasa taking down their server was something about "china" and "downloads"
00:04.00 kanzure maybe not.
00:05.09 starseeker http://www.space.com/20355-nasa-chinese-spy-reports-database.html
00:05.18 starseeker that what you're thinking of?
00:05.33 kanzure tbh i got the "china" information second-hand from a person heh
00:05.54 kanzure looks right

11:01.10 ncsaba Hi all
11:01.13 ncsaba anybody around who knows the pipe.c code ?
11:15.00 ``Erik if there isn't, there will be... ask your question and hang around until someone responds :)
11:43.32 ncsaba well I would like to ask about the meaning of the fields of the bend_pipe structure
11:45.52 ncsaba I suppose "bend_V" is the center of the circle with radius "bend_radius", of which the bend's center line is part of
11:48.56 ncsaba what I'm actually after is if there is any of those parameters helpful to get a unit vector from the bend's center (as I understand it) pointing to the middle of the bend ? With "middle" I mean the mid-point of the center-line of the torus segment
12:06.11 ncsaba ok, I think I will use: VCOMB2(cp, bend->bend_start, 0.5, bend->bend_end, 0.5); VSUB2(cp, cp, bend->bend_V); VUNITIZE(cp);
12:07.36 brlcad you mean bend_ra?

12:40.44 ncsaba brlcad: Hi there :-)
12:41.14 ncsaba brlcad: isn't "bend_ra" the vector from bend_V -> bend_start ?
12:41.52 ncsaba I need one from bend_V to the middle point between bend_start and bend_end (if I understand the meaning of these correctly)
12:43.43 ncsaba this is for the centroid - I managed to understand the math behind it, solved my integrals, and then took what you suggested originally and calculate the centroid of the center line of the torus segment :-)
12:47.19 ncsaba so if my math is correct, the centroid sits on the line from the bend's center to the middle of the center line, at distance cos(bend_angle/4)*(bend_radius + bend_or)
12:48.00 ncsaba sorry, was wrong: cos(bend_angle/4)*bend_radius
12:48.08 ncsaba bend_or has nothing to do there

17:40.54 Ch3ck and i wnat to work on the bu_log() routine width which does not allign with the printf

17:41.22 Ch3ck so i could take a peek at it..

20:26.30 hawthorn Hello Mr. Erik
20:27.15 tofu hawthorn: he's not a Ms., but no need for formality here
20:28.06 hawthorn oh sorry
20:28.16 tofu no need to be sorry either, relax ;)
20:28.28 hawthorn actually I was interested in the reduction of code duplication project
20:28.37 tofu great
20:28.39 tofu why?
20:28.53 hawthorn gsoc project
20:28.58 tofu I know
20:29.04 tofu why do you want to work on code reduction?
20:29.26 hawthorn actually i am interested in OOP
20:29.40 tofu what's that got to do with code reduction? :)
20:29.40 hawthorn so code reduction can be achieved by it
20:29.45 tofu hmm.
20:29.53 hawthorn it falls under my interest thats it
20:30.01 hawthorn am i wrong ?
20:30.28 tofu code refactoring can lead to better introduction of OOP
20:30.37 tofu OOP in general however rarely leads to reduced code
20:31.05 hawthorn oh..
20:31.20 hawthorn thank you for that
20:31.30 tofu obviously code reduction can be achieved by refactoring … which can lead to better OOP design … they're just not necessarily the case :)
20:31.33 hawthorn but is that project allotted to someone ?
20:31.38 tofu that's not how it works
20:31.47 tofu you propose a project
20:31.52 tofu others propose a project
20:32.06 hawthorn i am new
20:32.07 tofu the strongest candidates (based on a whole slew of criteria) are selected
20:32.13 hawthorn i dont know how to get a project
20:32.29 tofu ultimately, it's YOUR project
20:32.35 tofu you propose to do something
20:32.49 hawthorn ok.
20:32.56 hawthorn so I have to propose something new ?
20:33.01 tofu that can be an idea from our ideas page, some variation, or something else altogether
20:33.19 hawthorn ok ..
20:33.22 tofu regardless of what it is, your job is to flesh out the idea with lots of detail
20:33.43 tofu so we might suggest working on "code refactoring" for example
20:34.28 hawthorn oh..
20:34.31 ``Erik hawthorn: we have an ideas page, but they're just ideas... you can propose what ever you want, several people can propose the same idea, you can do proposals for several ideas... it's not a "pick one and get assigned" thing at the moment
20:34.34 tofu but then you'd turn that into a much more specific proposal to perhaps refactor all of our geometry converters into a library, or finding all the places where we iterate over geometry types manually and push those up into the primitives OOP style, or something else etc
20:34.58 hawthorn so I have to present some idea related to code refactoring and then if you like it you will assign me that project..is it like this ?
20:35.11 tofu mm, first patch received
20:35.39 tofu vladbogo: thanks, someone will usually look at it in a few days
20:35.47 ``Erik tofu: been watching the issues, it's been hitting alter a fair bit, it'd seem (alter := uu + worldcom + mci + verizonbiz)
20:36.40 ``Erik been seeing cyclic routing tables, too... might be a ddos causing screwy failover behavior, or fat fingers in very expensive router rulesets
20:37.23 tofu yeah, I've been reading news reports that there are several unprecedented DDoS attacks going on across the net right now
20:37.40 ``Erik (fwiw, vladbogo has also been helping answer questions in chan)
20:37.41 tofu perhaps related to todays news or coincidence
20:37.42 hawthorn is the server busy ? I cant open the ideas webpage
20:38.07 tofu hawthorn: you and everyone else.. ISP is on fire
20:38.43 hawthorn I am also very much interested in computer graphics
20:39.07 hawthorn so can some small game can be made ? :
20:39.26 tofu hawthorn: you can propose pretty much anything
20:39.36 tofu I'd suggest discussing any idea in here in detail
20:39.48 tofu like if you wanted to make a small game, how would it involve brl-cad?
20:40.08 vladbogo tofu: thanks, I will wait for the review
20:40.28 tofu and thanks for helping others, that means a lot
20:40.31 hawthorn yaa..that would be an issue
20:40.40 hawthorn i know OpenGL
20:41.20 tofu hawthorn: if you wanted to work in that area, you might check out what the blender folks did X years ago for their game engine, you could propose creating something similar for BRL-CAD
20:41.52 tofu but know that would be a stretch to fit into GSoC timeframe given you have very limited experience (at least with BRL-CAD), don't know about your API design background
20:42.39 tofu there's certainly tons of games that could be implemented using brl-cad geometry and rendering under the hood

21:01.20 rays2pix Hi ..this is Deepak GSoC aspirant. I am working on converting the bwfilter utility in to libicv functions. Its not quite complete. Would like to send it across to the group
21:01.52 rays2pix Is it okay to send it that way?
21:06.04 hawthorn_ hello
21:06.19 hawthorn_ i ll come back tomorrow with an idea
21:06.44 hawthorn_ thank you tofu for your support
21:06.51 hawthorn_ see you tomorrow
21:10.25 ``Erik rays2pix: you can always send a link to the patch... but if it's not complete and no specific questions are posed, it might be ignored. A completed patch should be uploaded to the sourceforge tracker, and that will be looked at hopefully within a few days of upload
21:10.46 tofu hawthorn_: we're kind of keen on C/C++, but it really depends on what you propose to work on
21:11.16 hawthorn_ yaa i am very good in C and C++
21:11.42 hawthorn_ i can do some good coding in these
21:11.59 rays2pix Erik: thanks. I will goahead and come up with patch and questions
21:12.04 tofu rays2pix: yeah, what he said .. it takes a lot of effort to review a patch, especially for the first time so it should be as good as you can make it (without being late)
21:12.55 tofu if you need help putting the patch together, pastebin.ca code snippets and/or ask questions as you need to here
21:22.44 hawthorn_ proposal of ideas can continue after the 21st..?
21:22.48 hawthorn_ please confirm

21:27.39 tofu ideally, you'll discuss here, then work on a proposal, put it up on the wiki when you have a rough draft, ask for comments/feedback, continue to make improvements, submit it to google-melange, and CONTINUE to make improvements

22:18.57 rays2pix tofu: thanks I uploaded a patch.Its fairly complete and have also followed up with a mail.
22:20.04 rays2pix tofu: I intend to prepare a GSOC proposal to refactor image processing utilities.
22:20.42 tofu excellent, glad to hear it
22:20.59 tofu is that your main interest or do you have a backup too?
22:21.49 rays2pix Image analysis is my main interest . after drafting a proposal for this , I intend to have a look at density functions idea too.
22:21.58 tofu great
22:22.04 tofu it helps to have a backup
22:22.09 tofu so long as the first proposal is complete
22:23.07 rays2pix sure..for image processing, I am trying to understand how these utilities are used within brlcad any pointers to a document or usecase?

23:08.30 starseeker ``Erik: cool!
23:09.59 starseeker wonders if we could switch to a maintained regex library like pcre and use their pcreposix.h instead - with any luck it wouldn't have the same conflict issues with system regex functionality, and someone else is actively maintaining it...
23:19.25 starseeker notes bemusedly that the SAT is a lot shorter without machine technology to evaluate answers - maybe they were on to something

23:37.14 tofu our regex variant was chosen specifically because it was a drop-in compatible replacement for system (and because it's so simple/fast especially compared to modern libs)
23:37.48 tofu i'd say it's working just fine now, leave it alone and it'll leave us alone :)
