IRC log for #brlcad on 20160311

00:53.22 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 67302 (brlcad/trunk/include/bu/mime.h brlcad/trunk/include/bu/path.h and 3 others): Remove the mime/prefix bits from bu_path_component. It's undecided what we'll do about supporting prefixes - we have a potentially ambiguous case on Windows if a user has a g: drive and wants to specify a .g file prefix to a path with g:/path/to/file - did we mean a file on g: or a file on the current drive
00:53.24 Notify with the .g type? Whatever we do end up with, it should live separtely from bu_path_component - probably with the mime handling logic.
00:53.26 Notify ...
01:14.10 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 67303 brlcad/trunk/TODO: update todo list
01:29.51 starseeker brlcad: what were you expecting interactive mode to do in rt? (-I option)
01:30.36 starseeker at least as far back as r22755, it appears to simply be a way to do bu_nice_set for the rt application depending on the size
01:31.05 starseeker as near as I can tell, that's still what it's doing...

11:24.04 Robert_Dumitru Hello! I am a freshman year student at University of Bucharest, Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, Computer science section, willing to enter the open source world to gain more coding experience. I am interested in Benchmark Performance Database project. I saw the GSoC 2014 approach and I want to know how I can improve it so that I will be accepted, but I am afraid of doing something too similar to past tries. I
11:24.04 Robert_Dumitru want to use Django as the web framework and ,probably ,PostgreSQL for the database, Bootstrap for the front-end part and plotly.js charting library for representing the information acquired from the log files. Is my plan fullfilling the project needs? Do you have any advice for me? Is contribution to Brl-cad mandatory?

11:33.45 shubham_ Robert_Dumitru: Previous contributions is not mandatory to be a part of GSoC with Brl-cad.
11:33.54 shubham_ But you must submit a patch for your project.
11:34.50 shubham_ A patch is required for a student to be a part of the GSoC project with brl-cad
11:36.30 shubham_ You can start working on a patch for your project now and must submit it with your proposal or before the application submission deadline ends
11:39.54 shubham_ For comments regarding your queries related to your project, you can contact the devs and mentors who have worked on it previously, through the mailing list or irc.
11:57.09 ``Erik starseeker: rt's interactive mode USED to do some funky iterative sampling where the output was broken up into a large grid and each grid unit was filled with a single ray's color, then it'd iteratively refine until at final resolution :/

19:41.16 brlcad starseeker: if I'm reading the filesystem hierarchy standard correctly, there are a couple places html files can live
19:43.21 brlcad looks like PREFIX/share/doc/brlcad/html or PREFIX/share/brlcad/VERSION/doc/html are kosher, the latter being what we do now
19:43.25 brlcad so should be fine

19:54.59 brlcad I suggest exploring (and actually running) some of the converters
19:57.08 ucanbizon I never participated or intended to participate GSoC before

20:21.14 ucanbizon sorry for late answer
20:21.40 ucanbizon but to be honest i downloaded the brlcad yesterday
20:22.25 ucanbizon but in before when i was parttime working in a company
20:23.26 ucanbizon they were saying quadliteral meshes give more precise results
20:23.31 ucanbizon in solvers
20:25.25 brlcad and avoiding meshes altogether gives even more precise results
20:26.24 brlcad what's the point? still need to relate their development to some feature / capability / direction of relevance
20:26.54 brlcad brl-cad's n-manifold library technically supports quad meshes (and every other count)
20:27.29 ucanbizon oh sorry I didn't know that
20:37.45 brlcad no need to be sorry :)
20:37.55 brlcad having specialized quad meshes would have some value
20:38.34 brlcad but to make a good proposal, you'd have to characterize that value
20:39.43 ucanbizon thanks :D
20:46.00 ucanbizon I want to make a patch, so i looked at the bug reports. but they are too old. I do not know if those bugs are still exist
20:46.11 ucanbizon What should I do
20:48.52 brlcad ucanbizon: our BUGS file is essentially a stack, so items near the top are more recently reported
20:49.07 brlcad less detail than an sf bug report, but the commit log often has more details
