02:15.24 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 67725 brlcad/trunk/NEWS: cliff documented the -R draw command option that was added back in 2009 (by me, apparently without docs) for drawing without resizing the view.
02:31.21 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 67726 (brlcad/trunk/AUTHORS brlcad/trunk/NEWS): credit Nick Gerstner for the burst and rtg3 mods that makes those tools now output 5-digit component IDs. looking at his patch notes, it looks like he actually made this change way back in 2011(\!). he also added some LOS clamping to rtg3, albeit without much detail as to why...
02:56.49 brlcad starseeker: what's up with https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/368/ and how's it pertain to the work you just did...??
02:56.55 brlcad did you just do it again? :)
02:57.16 brlcad zaverichintan: hi
02:58.40 brlcad zaverichintan: in your intance, late involvement was not a dominant factor .. your patches were great and your discussion level was pretty good
02:59.41 brlcad the topic you proposed was also proposed by several other students, and I believe two or three (yourself included) had similar desirable strong communication skills and technical ability
03:03.20 brlcad ultimately, only one student could be picked and guravjeet's proposal was pretty freaking strong
03:03.38 brlcad you had really tough competition
03:04.34 brlcad ethanol: definitely not too late to start! welcome!
03:04.49 brlcad ethanol: socis was just announced, so your'e about as early as you can be :)

03:13.22 brlcad andromeda-galaxy: it was running the latest, but I shut off auto-updates when the new server came online
03:18.40 brlcad starseeker: this is a key insight that even say to myself regularly, because it goes against default dev nature: "While parts of code were bad, we could have easily fixed them with refactoring if we had taken time to read and understand the source code that was written by other people."
03:20.02 brlcad joel's article that he links is a classic: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html
03:27.22 Stragus Eh, nice article
03:29.06 Stragus Old code does have its own age-related problems, when clearly designed for old hardware, old architecture, different expectations, usage patterns...

15:39.10 boj Hi, today, I am trying to compile the latest code on Windows 7(VS2012 64bit), it gives me errors in grid.c (line 896: ap->a_user = lrint(...) % 100;), the error information is about 'illegal, left operand has type 'double''. I wonder that, the 'lrint()' has already casted the value to int, why does this error arise? And how to fix it in a more elegant way, could someone give me a hint?

16:48.45 starseeker brlcad: kind of (burst xml conversion) - I'll look at that to incorporate any improvements, but I was also reorganizing things somewhat to de-emphasize the interactive mode
