IRC log for #brlcad on 20140418

00:07.41 javampire brlcad: this is what I will put as comment in the ARB8 wrapper of python-brlcad, if you deem it good enough for adding it to rtgeom.h, I can do that too (let me know via mail, I will leave IRC now, late here):

11:19.54 starseeker javampire: from brlcad: "that's pretty awesome (for javaempire when he gets back)"
11:20.19 javampire starseeker: ok, thanks :-)
11:20.48 starseeker definitely votes to add it to rtgeom.h
11:22.48 starseeker I think it's ok actually that the other arb* explanations are also associated with arb8 in rtgeom.h - it will explain why those primitives don't have their own internal structures there
11:25.20 javampire ok, then I will prepare a patch for this, skipping the face part which is anyway only in planning for python-brlcad too
11:26.57 javampire I wonder what's the policy about tab/spaces for such things ? For this specific purpose spaces are important to be kept as they are
11:30.53 javampire starseeker: I wonder if it makes sense to number/name the faces too just to be sure usage will be consistent if anybody needs such numbering ?
11:31.29 javampire in rtgeom.h currently there's a mention of "top" and "bottom" faces

13:52.37 andrei__ hey
13:55.45 teepee hi!
13:56.35 andrei__ teepee: at this point, the students are decided, right?
13:57.51 teepee mostly yes
13:58.02 teepee but it's not yet final
13:58.47 andrei__ what do you mean?
14:00.19 teepee it's all on the official timeline. today is de-duplication meeting in case students have given multiple proposals
14:00.37 teepee so that could still result in shuffling some slots around
14:00.59 andrei__ ah, I know that
14:01.04 andrei__ I thought of something else
14:02.35 *** join/#brlcad Zhao_Anqing (~clouddrif@2001:da8:e000:1a08:6d34:9345:fc98:266b)
14:03.51 teepee something else?
14:04.42 andrei__ sean mentioned in some mail that there will be a rerun through proposals
14:05.08 andrei__ and I connected that to final slot allocations, but I think he meant something else
14:08.31 teepee well, sure, there's obviously a proposal ranking to match proposals to slots
14:09.11 teepee so if a student is accepted depends on both ranking and final number of slots granted to brl-cad

15:21.00 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 60433 brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/b64.c: tweak memory allocations
15:23.03 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 60434 (brlcad/trunk/src/librt/primitives/brep/brep.cpp brlcad/trunk/src/librt/primitives/table.c): It's not ready for g2asc/asc2g yet, but add a rt_brep_get function that tries to make use of base64 encoding. Main idea is to allow Archer to actually show brep icons. Not sure this is correct yet, in a number of ways, but does at least allow Archer to show icons.

18:21.32 brlcad andrei__: what sort of feedback?
18:21.52 brlcad you've done just fine, what's the concern?
18:23.22 andrei__ I haven't heard from you guys in a while, so I was worried
18:23.48 andrei__ that's ok, thanks

18:58.06 brlcad andrei__: uhm, we're all just very busy :)
18:58.21 brlcad with selections, with projects, with coding
18:59.01 andrei__ I understand that, as I've said a while ago, I've traveled back to my parents for Easter holiday and I can't do too much :(
18:59.49 andrei__ I'll be back monday but, oh well, the results are published by then
19:07.06 brlcad andrei__: can't do much such as?
19:07.27 *** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
19:09.05 andrei__ well, I was working with daniel on the sph primitive, he provided feedback on a previous version that I sent him and I didn't complete the next one, with applied feedback
19:11.05 brlcad so as in improve that existing patch or produce some new one
19:12.22 andrei__ to adapt existing code so it can compile, the issue is related to the rt_*_structures
19:12.49 andrei__ there is no rt_sph_internal and the sph primitive uses rt_ell_internal, so I need to change the C++ primitive code accordingly
19:13.02 brlcad that sounds like a 2min edit :)
19:13.11 *** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
19:13.15 brlcad takes longer to re-upload the patch
19:13.25 andrei__ not really
19:13.31 andrei__ because I renamed halfspace into sph
19:13.37 andrei__ and halfspace uses rt_half_internal
19:15.00 brlcad not following, but doesn't matter
19:15.45 brlcad if you can't do it, you can't do it .. just noting that it might not be nearly as complicated as you're making it seem by delaying
19:16.38 brlcad we've been talking here for an hour.. that's surely enough time to get something to compile ;)
19:17.23 andrei__ that's true, I ll get to it.
19:17.41 brlcad still, i'm not sure why you're even raising this detail ... as if you not working on your patch right now is going to make or break getting accepted
19:18.41 brlcad it's never that fickle a decision, that some little patch or some e-mail or some discussion is going to make all the difference in getting selected
19:21.01 brlcad if you start on it and don't finish, there's certainly no harm there too
19:21.26 brlcad could either report your progress, anything you learned, or checkpoint your work so you're that much closer the next time you have time
19:21.42 brlcad it's about the next step, not the finish line
19:27.28 andrei__ yeah, I don't know, you're right..
