02:30.34 Plazma pretty new to cad, but a friend of mine told me that to get a 2D drawing it's much easier to draw it in 3D and let it render the 2D object.. do many of you find this true?

03:52.30 Stragus I don't know if it's easier, but it certainly helps visualization and planning

06:05.26 LoH Plazma: it's called projection, IIRC. I know how to do it with openscad, but not with brlcad

12:22.41 starseeker brlcad: yeah, I was a bit underwhelmed with that performance profile myself (7000 in < 1min) but most of the other text search systems I'm seeing are either license no-gos, very large and web-centric, or both...
12:24.06 starseeker and it's not clear to me how much work was done to optimize performance on that - the netbsd folks were probably not too worried about the db build time
12:25.09 starseeker we'd probably want our own db schema, but I figure that project probably has most of the necessary low-level bits in one form or another
12:29.16 starseeker and IIRC our current doc count is more like 700 than 7000, so it's probably worth testing first... might be a case of prematurely worrying about optimization
12:30.39 ``Erik if it actually matters, hitting it with a profiler might point out some obvious performance fixes in it O.o
12:30.48 starseeker their project is parsing the man page output... one possibility for us would be to use xslt to transform the docbook into something "easily parsable" for sqlite's FTS
12:31.14 starseeker ``Erik: true
12:31.46 starseeker also, their performance numbers are something like 5 or 6 years old now
12:32.25 ``Erik heh, wait, so you're worried about something that'll take less than 6 seconds on old hw during the build phase? O.o
12:32.49 starseeker no, but if it's 40-50 sec that's noticable
12:33.24 starseeker part of it's scoping - whether we index all of the tutorials and such as well as the man pages
12:35.00 starseeker part of the problem is that the index building will be one of the very last things the build does - it'll only be doable after all the man pages are built - which means any extra build time from that step is likely to get tacked on to the total rather than hidden in parallel building
12:36.27 ``Erik meh, it's build time... and if it's optional, who cares :D it's just (lumping sections into roughly similar build times, using the absolutely accurate "cuz it feels like" metric) building {docbook,openNURBS,step,everythingelse} to {docbook,apropos,openNURBS,step,everthingelse} :D
12:36.56 starseeker heh
12:37.18 ``Erik also; readable grammatical structure is for weenies. Push and recurse, yo.
12:37.48 starseeker I suppose it might be considered optional, but apropos would need it to work right
12:40.30 starseeker might make a decent gsoc project in some ways...
12:41.09 starseeker could be a bit tricky though to figure out a schema
12:42.20 ``Erik <-- kinda doubts many people are using the roff stuff, imagines more will be using the gui help and still more are hoping to find something more like https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/index.html
12:42.21 gcibot [ PostgreSQL: Documentation: 9.6: PostgreSQL 9.6.2 Documentation ]
12:42.44 ``Erik nails gcibot to a wall
12:46.51 starseeker nods - those sorts of docs are definitely what people initially look for, but we're not in a position yet to (re)write the high level stuff
12:47.05 starseeker still trying to figure out what the command set should be
12:47.42 starseeker plus, our man pages are available in the GUI via the HTML output
12:47.59 starseeker "man <command>" works on the MGED command line
12:48.05 ``Erik heh, I kinda wonder if there should be two sets that have different approaches... a user set and a developer set... trying to make a unified document system that serves both audiences smells complicated
12:48.32 starseeker nods - our dev docs will center around doxygen
12:49.30 starseeker dunno if we have a recent example up right now...
12:50.01 ``Erik neat, windows update consistently fails and the fix according to microsoft is to tell the notification panel to always show icons? O.o
12:52.12 starseeker http://brlcad.org/docs/doxygen-r64112/index.xhtml is the newest one I see offhand
12:52.13 gcibot [ BRL-CAD: Main Page ]
12:52.39 starseeker that's pretty old
12:55.31 starseeker pokes Notify
12:55.44 starseeker or maybe it's sf itself...
13:01.05 starseeker ``Erik: that's better: http://brlcad.org/docs/doxygen-r69426/index.xhtml
