Topic: Fun !

Rahil Malik (Jan 07 2018 at 19:16):

Google Code-in's fun , right ??

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:22):

Yeah! Although I seriously wish it wasn't held during such a busy season.

Rahil Malik (Jan 07 2018 at 19:23):

Yea, true that but probably its because of the age-factor

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:25):

Summer of Code sounds so much more enticing than "Google-code-while-you-have-100-papers-due"

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:26):

part age factor and part because there's a different huge program in the summer for college aged kids

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:26):

the rest of the year is getting ready for the next program

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:26):

(and it does take all that time

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:27):

Yeah, how is Summer of Code anyways?

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:27):

I like GCI more

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:27):

you guys are more fun, better at solving problems independently (sometimes)

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:28):

Yay :D You know you picked the right organization when the mentor actually likes the kids

Rahil Malik (Jan 07 2018 at 19:28):

by the way , i can reclaim a task i abandoned , right ?

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:29):

Yup, unless it exceeds the maximum number of completions

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:30):

which is the total of times it has been finished by all students

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:31):

I feel like some organizations (I'm looking at you, Apertium) just hate their kids.

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:34):

They're the kind of people to put

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:34):

"Extract valid examples for anaphora resolution from aligned parallel corpus."

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:35):

as a beginner task

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:35):

hehe

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:35):

they're just lost in their domain's terminology

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:35):

haven't learned how to say things in simpler terms

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:37):

I have so much respect for the students under them

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:37):

like how we say "make a box" instead of "make a Right Rectangular Parallelepiped"

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:38):

instead of "aligned parallel corpus", they should probably say "a set of special words"

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:39):

If a student doesn't what a Right Rectangular Parallelpiped is then I don't even know why they're working in open source. Clearly these are common terms.

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:42):

I think "Extract valid examples for anaphora resolution from aligned parallel corpus" is "search for phrases within prepared text documents"

Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:42):

but would have to read the task description

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:43):

I feel like half of what they want to say could be simplified to "parse"

Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:43):

It's funny how a linguistic organization is the worst at communicating their tasks

Siddharth (Jan 08 2018 at 07:26):

Hey everyone

Siddharth (Jan 08 2018 at 07:27):

Which country do you all recide in?

Siddharth (Jan 08 2018 at 07:27):

I live in Gurgaon, India

Rahil Malik (Jan 08 2018 at 09:37):

I am in Ahmedabad, India

Mitesh (Jan 08 2018 at 12:54):

i am fron Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India too

Mitesh (Jan 08 2018 at 12:54):

Hey rahil howz your competition going so far?

Rahil Malik (Jan 08 2018 at 12:56):

Very Good ! BRLCAD is too much fun (#addicted) :laughing:

Rahil Malik (Jan 08 2018 at 12:57):

what about you ? Do you plan on winning the Grand Prize ?

Mitesh (Jan 08 2018 at 12:57):

I am trying...

Rahil Malik (Jan 08 2018 at 12:57):

Nah, man. You are going to make it ! . You are very talented

Mitesh (Jan 08 2018 at 12:58):

how do you know?

Rahil Malik (Jan 08 2018 at 12:59):

I heard too much about you from every other contestant

Rahil Malik (Jan 08 2018 at 12:59):

Same about Jeff Sieu , even he is great and both of you are sooo helpful

Mitesh (Jan 08 2018 at 13:01):

oh...Thanks.

Rahil Malik (Jan 08 2018 at 13:02):

Ya, totally welcome :)

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 13:26):

@Sean i the configured cmake again

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 13:27):

@Sean downloaded from this source https://cmake.org/download/

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 13:30):

Screenshot-from-2018-01-08-08-29-08.png

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 13:32):

also why does the bin directory not contain mged or archer

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 13:32):

?

Jeff Sieu (Jan 08 2018 at 13:36):

You may not have installed the X11 libraries I think

Jeff Sieu (Jan 08 2018 at 13:37):

try this
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 13:40):

CMake is not BRL-CAD

Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 13:40):

You will not find Archer in the bin because they are different products

Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 13:42):

You have to build the top-level cmakelist file using cmake (which I'm sure you've done before).

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 13:56):

@Jeff Sieu it's already installed

Jeff Sieu (Jan 08 2018 at 14:02):

What does your CMake output after you did cmake ..

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 14:18):

Screenshot-from-2018-01-08-09-17-51.png

Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 14:20):

You have to run cmake on the cmakelist inside the brl-cad svn trunk

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 14:22):

Screenshot-from-2018-01-08-09-21-53.png

Jeff Sieu (Jan 08 2018 at 14:24):

Wait why is your brlcad svn trunk inside your cmake folder

Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 14:24):

Okay, 1. I'm displeased that you have brlcad inside the cmake directory. 2. You have to create a build folder, make it the current directory, then set cmake to its path (in case of parent directory you would use "cmake ..")

Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 14:26):

It seems he ran svn inside it

Rahil Malik (Jan 08 2018 at 14:26):

Okay, 1. I'm displeased that you have brlcad inside the cmake directory. 2. You have to create a build folder, make it the current directory, then set cmake to its path (in case of parent directory you would use "cmake ..")

Then I'm sorry too

Jeff Sieu (Jan 08 2018 at 14:26):

mv brlcad-svn-trunk /home/defengartner01/Downloads/brlcad-svn-trunk
cd /home/defengartner01/Downloads/brlcad-svn-trunk
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 14:28):

Has anyone here compiled it using the new Ubuntu release? Could it be that the build is broken on it as well?

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 14:40):

Screenshot-from-2018-01-08-09-34-51.png

vasugarg (Jan 08 2018 at 14:40):

is this fine ?

Lucas Prieels (Jan 08 2018 at 16:37):

I just arrived and saw 238 new messages :)

Rahil Malik (Jan 08 2018 at 16:53):

had a lot of Fun ! :laughing:

Siddharth (Jan 09 2018 at 17:14):

I guess every participant had fun

Rahil Malik (Jan 10 2018 at 06:48):

yup

Rahil Malik (Jan 10 2018 at 12:01):

isn't it cool ? that BRLCAD has task of compiling and whoever fails they take the log and try to resolve issues and make themselves better .

Mitesh (Jan 10 2018 at 12:38):

it is really amazing

Akshit Goel (Jan 10 2018 at 13:06):

Hello

Rahil Malik (Jan 10 2018 at 13:06):

hiii

Mitesh (Jan 10 2018 at 13:27):

hi

Akshit Goel (Jan 10 2018 at 14:05):

How can i draw an object in an existing .g file

Agape Gonzales (Jan 10 2018 at 14:07):

Click Geometry Browser in Edit Menu

Agape Gonzales (Jan 10 2018 at 14:08):

Then double click the objects you see on the Geometry Browser panel

Jeff Sieu (Jan 10 2018 at 14:09):

Or, you can simply do

ls

to list all the objects

Agape Gonzales (Jan 10 2018 at 14:09):

Go to Create and click an object if you want to create a new one

Jeff Sieu (Jan 10 2018 at 14:09):

Then

draw <object>

Jeff Sieu (Jan 10 2018 at 17:12):

really digging sourceforge's new look!

Jeff Sieu (Jan 10 2018 at 17:13):

sourceforge

Naseef (Jan 10 2018 at 19:10):

Not perfect, But much better than before!

Jeff Sieu (Jan 10 2018 at 23:22):

Definitely.

Siddharth (Jan 12 2018 at 04:48):

Hey @Akshit Goel Please ask your questions under the right topics

SATISH SINGH (Jan 14 2018 at 09:47):

Hello ZULIP, This is SATISH SINGH from India, I've registered myself for GCI 2018. Here this current Task 'Getting Familiar with BRL-CAD community' is really interesting to learn a lot.

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:11):

Hmm... Welcome! :)

SATISH SINGH (Jan 14 2018 at 10:14):

thanks you Naseef Sir.

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:17):

@SATISH SINGH I appreciate your respect, but please know that it's VERY unusual to refer to people as sir when working in open source

SATISH SINGH (Jan 14 2018 at 10:20):

You're being modest here.

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:21):

no, It's just plagiarism.

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:22):

@Sean said :

yup sir....this task was already approved yesterday.

I appreciate your respect, but please know that it's VERY unusual to refer to people as sir when working in open source

SATISH SINGH (Jan 14 2018 at 10:22):

:) as you say so.

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 10:24):

HEY , @SATISH SINGH

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:24):

BTW It's GCI 2017, 2018 not started yet

SATISH SINGH (Jan 14 2018 at 10:24):

Greetings Rahil Sir.

SATISH SINGH (Jan 14 2018 at 10:25):

*facepalm
Right :)

SATISH SINGH (Jan 14 2018 at 10:26):

oh yeah, can I edit my post ?

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:26):

Within 10 minutes from posting.

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:27):

yes you can.

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 10:30):

Greetings Rahil Sir.

:laughing: , even i am a student like you

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:31):

He thought we are mentors? I'm a student too! LOL

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 10:33):

He thought we are mentors? I'm a student too! LOL

most probably , lol

SATISH SINGH (Jan 14 2018 at 10:33):

yes, i thought you're Mentor... so how many task you've completed so far?

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 10:34):

. :laughing:

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:35):

Google did not decided to hide the number of tasks completed by a student without a reason right? They even sorted the leader board alphabetically for the same reason.

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:38):

We're almost at the end of GCI, When others see higher number of completed tasks by a student, They start to rush towards completing more tasks, Which leads to low quality tasks.

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 10:42):

Totally ! :thumbs_up:

Jeff Sieu (Jan 14 2018 at 10:45):

We're almost at the end of GCI, When others see higher number of completed tasks by a student, They start to rush towards completing more tasks, Which leads to low quality tasks.

Feel like I've seen someone say this here before...

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:45):

Plagiarism again.

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:45):

But still, It was from my memory, I don't even remember who said it

Jeff Sieu (Jan 14 2018 at 10:46):

That being said, I don't think 1 day can change much when it comes to rushing tasks

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:47):

Ha ha, Yeah!

SATISH SINGH (Jan 14 2018 at 10:51):

so, Where can I look for that Leader board and their number of tasks?

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:53):

You can look at the leader board on the organization's GCI page, You can see total number of tasks completed for an organizations but not how many tasks a student done.

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 10:54):

here is brlcad leaderboard : https://codein.withgoogle.com/organizations/brl-cad/

Mahdi (Jan 14 2018 at 14:24):

Hey, welcome to BRLCAD :)

Lucas Prieels (Jan 14 2018 at 17:03):

Does someone know how many times has BRL-CAD been downloaded? I've seen that there were almost 900,000 downloads only on SourceForge since 2010

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 17:04):

in that count , i have downloaded 4 times :)

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 17:05):

It's hard to track, There are other mirrors, Linux repositories, Etc.

Mahdi (Jan 14 2018 at 17:05):

You would probably need Sean to give an estimation

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 20:12):

Hey , anybody there ? , here its 1:40 at night :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 20:14):

I'm here and it's 1:44 for me. LOL!

Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 20:14):

waited for the clock to be exactly 1:44

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 20:23):

:rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 20:23):

so you are from india too

Rahil Malik (Jan 14 2018 at 20:23):

which state ?

Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 09:54):

How can you decide that I am from India just with my local time? India isn't the only country with UTC+05:30.
I'm from Sri Lanka and our time is UTC+05:30 too.

Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 10:03):

Hmm.. Looks like Sri Lanka was once more than a hour away from Indian Standard Time at UTC +6:30

Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 10:03):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka_Standard_Time

Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 11:52):

How can you decide that I am from India just with my local time? India isn't the only country with UTC+05:30.
I'm from Sri Lanka and our time is UTC+05:30 too.

sorry dude :laughing: why are you getting so hyped up

Siddharth (Jan 19 2018 at 05:15):

Hahaah @Naseef

Naseef (Jan 19 2018 at 09:17):

I'm not native, I don't how it sounds (angry or funny) :P

Siddharth (Jan 24 2018 at 07:35):

Sri Lanka came closer to India
