World's biggest crude oil tanker is caught on fire near to our coastal shores. :sad:

Thusal Ranawaka (Sep 04 2020 at 15:28):

It has 276,000 tons of crude oil.

Thusal Ranawaka (Sep 04 2020 at 15:30):

If the crude oil leaks, it will be the largest crude oil load which will completely destroy our marine environment.

And the biggest tanker in our country can take only 100 tons. :laughter_tears:

Sumagna Das (Sep 04 2020 at 17:49):

thats not good

Sumagna Das (Sep 04 2020 at 17:50):

a stream should be there for off topic conversations because general is much more for (as its name implies) general dev talk

Sumagna Das (Sep 04 2020 at 17:51):

what do you guys think?

Sean (Sep 04 2020 at 19:43):

we can make this be whatever folks need it to be. an "off topic" channel like this is just fine

Sean (Sep 04 2020 at 19:44):

on IRC, there are no channels and you just have to keep track of discussions. I kind of prefer that over threads myself, but it does require much more active and daily participation to keep track of everything, and that's notably hard for new contributors

Sumagna Das (Sep 04 2020 at 20:11):

Yup

Sumagna Das (Sep 04 2020 at 20:33):

but some channels are there like #ubuntu-offtopic which mostly constitutes of the ubuntu users (and other OS users if there are) who want to talk off topic

guys, is 51.7 peat flops a lot? i'm pounding this poor machine in italy...

Erik (Sep 29 2020 at 16:14):

hah, peat flops, thanks, apple. Petaflops

Sean (Sep 30 2020 at 15:06):

I was wondering what kind of research or development projects are carried out in brl , new software suits ? Will we see new opensource projects :))

Erik (Feb 03 2021 at 17:29):

fun, ses coptor with escort just cruised over, wonder if someone's in big trouble :D

Erik (Feb 04 2021 at 02:50):

hm, I wonder if the bltouch on a 3d printer can be hacked as a sampling tool for generating point clouds of 3d geometry (obvs, nonoverlapping and minimal gradient)... ok, less if and more if someone has made it available, how it works, etc ... :D and other idle thoughts...

Erik (Feb 10 2021 at 23:03):

heh, BRL is long gone and I dunno if we'll see new stuff from ARL (though I am finding ARL-DSRC's public docs super-useful)

Erik (Feb 10 2021 at 23:04):

BRL-CAD is brl/arl's big open source contribution in a long time afaik :) (before then was, uh, ... ping and bits of bsd network stack?)

Erik (Feb 18 2021 at 19:28):

Erik (Mar 04 2021 at 13:16):

I've been far far far less dissatisfied since switching to "the other company"

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:37):

Hey @Sean, I just wanted to know, why does my build directory takes so much space on my laptop. The build directory is almost 8GB and the repo is almost 400MB. So, I asked Sumagna, to ask if it's normal. His build directory is 3GB, but he got Ubuntu and I got Windows. Is that the dirrence?

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:38):

That's probably a lot of it.

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:38):

Yeah.

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 14:38):

Heh, just commented on the other thread.

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:39):

So, there's a big difference between Ubuntu and Windows?

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:39):

Windows has different build files than Linux - uses a different build tool, produces different outputs.

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:39):

oh, Okay

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:39):

I've not done a direct comparison in a while, but I remember the Windows build dir being pretty good sized.

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:40):

If you do things like building both Debug and Release configurations, that'll up it even more.

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:40):

I already got the Debug, but there's a Release folder too.

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:41):

Ironically the Windows installers tend to be smaller, because we can't include the debug information in those binaries due to MSVC licensing.

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 14:41):

so that's 2X

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 14:41):

so of your 8gb, it's probably 2-3GB for RELEASE and 3-4GB for DEBUG and 0.5GB for sources

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:42):

Let me check

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 14:42):

there may be 1GB for intellisense too

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:42):

image.png

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 14:42):

the indexing that happens so it finds symbols quickly

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:42):

Release is only 50MB

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 14:43):

that's about 3.25 for DEBUG

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:43):

OK, you've not built Release config. If you do the size will probably be similar to Debug.

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 14:43):

so you've got 4GB being consumed somewhere else

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:43):

Yeah

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:44):

By the way, what's the difference between Debug and Release since I am learning?

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:45):

Debug is less optimized for performance, and includes metadata that allows debuggers to interpret what's happening when the code runs in a form more easily understandable by human beings.

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:46):

Okay

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:46):

Release is optimized for performance and more compact without that extra information, but is much harder to debug (impractically so in normal circumstances)

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:46):

Oh, I found it. It's the 'src' file, it's 3.5GB

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:46):

O.o

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:46):

A source checkout shouldn't be that large - what else is in there?

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:47):

So, 3.25GB for Debug and 3.5GB for src directory

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 14:47):

src is a directory, not a file

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:47):

Yeah, directory

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 14:47):

you have something big in there

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:48):

A clean SVN checkout of BRL-CAD trunk on Windows here takes 870MB

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:50):

Okay, inside the src directory, conv takes about 450MB

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:51):

starseeker said:

I am not sure about it, but when I am checking out, it completed in about 370MB mark

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 14:52):

@Thusal Ranawaka I like https://windirstat.net/ for hunting for space users on Windows (on Linux it's https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat)

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:55):

Here's the culprit, image.png

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:56):

The gdal directory

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 14:57):

And the OpenNURB directory

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 15:09):

So that's not (just) a source directory then -- that's a build directory. Those are the two biggest c++ folders and they'll have big compilation products.

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 15:10):

I suspect you configured CMake at some point with the source directory as a build directory or similar. So you simply have two compilation folders, each taking up about 3.5GB. You could delete it all and start over if that space matters to you.

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 15:12):

What do you mean?

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 15:15):

I stated in CMake as, Where is the source code: C:\Users\Thusal Ranawaka\OneDrive\Documents\brlcad
Where to build the binaries: C:\Users\Thusal Ranawaka\OneDrive\Documents\brlcad\build

No, it's not really a matter. But I got only 512GB on my laptop, but still, I can manage

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 15:44):

where is that src directory?

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 15:58):

@Sean C:\Users\Thusal Ranawaka\OneDrive\Documents\brlcad\src

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 16:18):

Sean said:

SO, should I specify it for "Where is the Source Code?"?

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 08 2021 at 16:19):

Thusal Ranawaka said:

Sean C:\Users\Thusal Ranawaka\OneDrive\Documents\brlcad\src

This one?

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 16:39):

No, the source code is Documents\brlcad

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 16:39):

but at some point, I think you configured your build dir as that too

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 16:39):

otherwise Documents\brlcad\src\other\openNURBS would not be 1GB

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 16:41):

source should be ...path...\Documents\brlcad and build dir should be ...path...\Documents\brlcad\build or just about anything EXCEPT ...path...\Documents\brlcad

starseeker (Mar 08 2021 at 16:41):

@Sean I think you're in the wrong topic...

Sean (Mar 08 2021 at 16:42):

fixed

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 11 2021 at 02:42):

Sean said:

Hmm, makes sense. Because I just built brlcad from source using GitHub, and again build directory is 7.20GB.

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 11 2021 at 02:42):

Repo is 378MB

Erik (Mar 11 2021 at 13:35):

if it's almost 2x, could some notion of a fat binary be in play?

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 11 2021 at 14:51):

Hmm?

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 14 2021 at 02:58):

Hey, where's the brlcad repo?

starseeker (Mar 14 2021 at 04:11):

@Thusal Ranawaka It got taken down while we fixed a couple issues - it'll be back up once we confirm they are fixed. (See above discussion in the Github channel.)

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 16 2021 at 00:50):

Found an error. image.png

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 16 2021 at 00:51):

There's a problem with BRL-CAD Setup.

Thusal Ranawaka (Mar 16 2021 at 00:53):

I had a setup file of BRL-CAD and I tried to install it yesterday, but then it got the same error as this. Then I ran the Windows Compatibility troubleshooter, and it set some new settings and the Setup worked then.

@Erik That screenshot of mezzano is actually rather impressive, if I'm understanding correctly that the entire stack (graphics, windowing, etc.) is all in native Lisp?

Erik (Mar 26 2021 at 13:50):

I believe so, I think you need a little bit of stuff to bootstrap the original os, but once that initial lisp image is provided, it's list all the way down

Erik (Mar 26 2021 at 13:50):

scorp08 (May 11 2021 at 10:02):

I need an opinion of professional software developers or computer scientists. I studied mechanical engineering working since 5 years around and I thoughts about switching to CS or Comp. Engineering fields as there is more joy, seems not so hard (not involves too many physics) , liked math more annd seems more tech oriented. But here is the break point. I can not study 2+ years means probably cant handle a Msc degree, grad courses etc as do not feel so energy at the moment. Do you guys recommend a bootcamp or maybe 1 year compact programs ? Do you think a degree required of CS?

Sean (May 11 2021 at 16:44):

I think it very much depends on what you have passion/energy for and what you're hoping to do with the degree. ME and CS are quite different engineering degrees. Getting a BS in either I think is helpful professionally but not strictly required. Getting and MS in either is only required if you intend to pursue the very latest technology fields (e.g., robotics).

Sean (May 11 2021 at 16:45):

I don't put much value in bootcamp programs from a professional/hiring perspective. You do those because you want to learn whatever it is they're teaching, like learning a new technology. They're not terribly useful on a resume.

Vikram Atreya (May 12 2021 at 10:13):

I am also pursuing a BTech/BE in mech eng. , from what I have heard from my seniors, to show that you are good at coding, development or CS stuff in general, you should have good projects lined up in your resume, that can prove to the person viewing your resume that you are capable of making good software technologies.

For those who don't have any degree, adding a degree makes their resume useful. Projects are worthless if you don't first fulfill the required criteria.

@Himanshu Sekhar Nayak absolutely! I was just looking at that edX course last week. The course looks like a great basic primer on concepts and walks you through a real working example in just a few weeks.

What's the main difference between include_directories() and target_include_directories()? I am confused while I am learning CMake and stumble upon this. https://paste.ofcode.org/kUbxcDRFbWzX3rdijgUe3M

Himanshu (Sep 19 2021 at 06:34):

I commented target_include_directories() but interchangeably both works?

Himanshu (Sep 19 2021 at 14:26):

I know that include_directories() helps the compiler to search for include files but what about target_include_directories() ?

Daniel Rossberg (Sep 19 2021 at 15:45):

include_directories() adds the directories to the build scripts of all targets in the CMakeLists.txt file, target_include_directories() to the build script of the given target only.

If there is only one target in the CMakeLists.txt, it doesn't make a difference.

oh... I see. That's why both are working interchangeably since I have only one target. Thanks :happy:

Himanshu (Sep 21 2021 at 14:45):

@Daniel Rossberg btw CPack is a better way to install a software? like in CMake we can set targets to install in bin, lib and include and I saw CPack is a better way to accept license or something

Daniel Rossberg (Sep 23 2021 at 16:37):

Hmm, if I understand correctly, they complement each other, or rather CPack complements CMake. CPack comes as a module in CMake.

• CMake is for building the binaries from sources
• CPack is for distributing the binaries to the users, i.e. creating .msi, .deb, .rpm, ... files

You can install the binaries with CMake too, but this is usually not an option for end users, because they need a compiler and time and memory for the build - without ensured success.

Sean (May 07 2022 at 20:34):

I think we have to get more printed, but I can check on Monday

Himanshu (May 07 2022 at 22:07):

@Sean :smiley::smiley: I want some.

Himanshu (May 10 2022 at 21:27):

Am I missing something?

h1manshu@Legion-5P:/mnt/c/Users/Himanshu/Desktop$ brlcad-config --prefix
-bash: /mnt/c/Users/Himanshu/Desktop/windowsBRLCAD/install/bin/brlcad-config: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Erik (May 10 2022 at 21:33):

the ^M makes it look like you have windows line endings instead of unix?

Himanshu (May 10 2022 at 22:04):

I installed BRL-CAD in WSL platform.

Erik (May 10 2022 at 23:09):

if you checked it out in windows and copied it to wsl, it'll have windows crlf endings. Try checking out/installing it inside of wsl

Erik (May 10 2022 at 23:11):

if installing it from inside of the wsl image (whichever linux flavor), check/set the git config (I'm assuming this is a code install from a git checkout)

You installed in WSL, but you probably checked out using Git for Windows. GfW defaults to windows line-endings on all text files, which is not good for scripts in WSL. You have to clone the repo again.

I shot a ray, once... never found the other end

Himanshu (May 26 2022 at 06:49):

What could be the meaning of this?

CMake Warning at cmake/FindBRLCAD.cmake:170 (MESSAGE):

oops given wrong path :frown: now fine

Himanshu (Jul 03 2022 at 18:57):

I came into http://norvig.com/21-days.html while going through stackoverflow. Nicely written.

Can anybody recommend a beginner course to start with computer vision?

Sean (Aug 29 2022 at 04:18):

@Himanshu Sekhar Nayak it depends a bit on what you're trying to do or wanting to learn.. it's a somewhat big field as it's the inverse of computer graphics.

Sean (Aug 29 2022 at 04:18):

There's loads of outstanding opencv tutorials that are really great for just coding something up, including many bundled with opencv itself.

Sean (Aug 29 2022 at 04:19):

For a formal class, GaTech has an excellent course up on udacity: https://www.udacity.com/course/introduction-to-computer-vision--ud810

Sean (Aug 29 2022 at 04:20):

This is a great lecture series; I've listened to most of it and highly recommend it from Dr. Shah at UCF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=715uLCHt4jE

Himanshu (Aug 30 2022 at 01:47):

I started machine learning specialization recently. So just wondering if NLP or computer vision will be best to move forward.

Sean (Sep 01 2022 at 02:54):

Honestly, those are both big fields of study so I'd suggest to maybe just go with whichever sounds more interesting to you personally.

Sean (Sep 01 2022 at 02:55):

Or do a little bit of both and see if one is more appealing. I did and discovered computer vision is incredibly more interesting to me, but I still very fondly recall doing projects in NLP including a robust parts of speech tagger that I'm still very proud of to this day many years later.
