| 15:28.40 | brlcad | rossberg: pretty cool :) |
| 15:36.22 | rossberg | brlcad: is it already operational? (it looks like it isn't) |
| 15:36.42 | brlcad | no, not yet -- but it's actively being worked on |
| 15:37.05 | brlcad | one of the other devs is learning the openNURBS api -- looks like it might solve a lot of problems |
| 15:37.30 | brlcad | though it doesn't seem to have ray intersection evaluation, so we will still have to implement that on our own |
| 15:37.39 | brlcad | we == he of course :) |
| 15:42.27 | rossberg | we are working here with rhino too, so we are looking forward to the new possibilities :-) |
| 15:42.49 | brlcad | yeah, it makes for a trivial 3dm converter too, which was part of the motivation |
| 15:44.41 | brlcad | one of the current plans is to make the serialized representation of the brep objects just be a 3dm bytestream so files could be fully preseved on conversion in or out |
| 15:46.15 | brlcad | the bigger goal, though, is that IF their tessellation support works fast/robust enough and boolean evaluation can be easily added, this might also help solve our overall tessellation-of-implicits problem too |
| 15:46.44 | rossberg | but it would still be possible to reference single objects in the stream? |
| 15:47.09 | brlcad | yeah it would |
| 15:47.41 | brlcad | more just as the serialization format itself, instead of something custom |
| 15:48.16 | brlcad | it's just now being looked at, so it's not clear that is the way it's going to be done in the least yet |
| 15:49.19 | brlcad | the specs indicate a per-object overhead would be very minimal (and make processing code a lot simpler) |
| 15:55.09 | rossberg | i've some doubts about the "easy" in adding boolean operations, but it would at least push the free form surfaces(?) in BRL-CAD |
| 18:06.20 | brlcad | stop staring |
| 18:06.22 | brlcad | start writing |
| 18:43.13 | ``Erik | um, I'm plannificatin' and strategificatin' |

| 19:32.49 | brlcad | heh |
| 19:43.45 | Maloeran | Eh well, seems that immigration visa won't work after all |
| 20:27.59 | ``Erik | yuh oh |
| 20:28.18 | ``Erik | should I raise alarm bells over here? |
| 20:34.42 | Maloeran | Well, I guess Lee might want to know that |
| 20:37.33 | brlcad | what does "won't work" mean? |
| 20:37.40 | Maloeran | I'll remain a consultant working for SURVICE from Canada ( until I reach 12 years of experience, get a degree or marry an american girl ;) ) |
| 20:38.09 | Maloeran | The immigration lawyers said that the immigration visa demand wouldn't be accepted |
| 20:38.10 | brlcad | should be trivial for you to get an indefinite work visa if anything |
| 20:39.56 | brlcad | that's what I assumed you were actually trying to do -- and that much is pretty straightforward |
| 20:40.29 | Maloeran | Apparently, it would have been trivial with a completed degree |
| 20:40.38 | brlcad | you could come on a work permit visa, h1b visa iirc that survice would apply for as an employer |
| 20:41.08 | brlcad | sounds like BS to me |
| 20:41.12 | Maloeran | Right, yet that requires either 12 years of experience or a degree |
| 20:41.41 | brlcad | if I remember the paperwork, the clause requires unique expertise applicable to the job, which you rather specifically have |
| 20:41.46 | brlcad | that's the overarching criteria |
| 20:42.00 | brlcad | everything else just helps |
| 20:42.58 | brlcad | maybe the requirements have changed, but I can't imagine a degree of any sort other than basic education being a requirement |
| 20:43.25 | brlcad | oooh, eww |
| 20:43.52 | brlcad | there is a clause for that now.. hrmph |
| 20:44.39 | Maloeran | Ah, yes there is :). I thought there were still ways from what I read, but SURVICE's lawyers said otherwise |
| 20:45.10 | brlcad | "a person may obtain an educational equivalence through a combination of education, specialized training or progressively responsible work experience." |
| 20:45.53 | brlcad | 12 years comes from that "progressively responsible work experience" where 3 years experience generally equates to a year in school to the legal folk |
| 20:46.38 | Maloeran | I see. |

| 20:52.54 | Maloeran | I second that statement :) |
| 20:54.04 | cadguy | ? |
| 20:54.43 | Maloeran | I mean I agree with the *&@^ part. Mark recommended to get some Bachelor from the university of Phoenix quickly ; not too sure what that implies yet, it's surely months/years away |
| 20:55.36 | cadguy | I don't know for sure, but that sounds like a great angle. |
| 20:55.48 | cadguy | Still, it is some time away. |
| 20:56.29 | cadguy | Makes one consider the diploma mill approach. |
| 20:57.41 | Maloeran | Yes, I'm looking... SURVICE seems interested in keeping me around, visa or not, but it's surely not as practical |
| 20:58.22 | cadguy | there are definite advantages to geographic co-location |
| 20:58.32 | ``Erik | yeah, makes lunches more amusing |
| 20:58.50 | ``Erik | oh, uh, and coordination and communication, too o.O |
| 20:58.53 | Maloeran | It's surely more enjoyable to begin with, yes |
| 20:59.06 | cadguy | coordinating lunces is good ;-) |

| 20:59.19 | brlcad | i'm all for lunch in toronto |
| 20:59.43 | cadguy | We could make it a weekly event! 8-) |
| 20:59.49 | brlcad | or even in montreal too I suppose ;) |
| 20:59.56 | ``Erik | heh, 'cept that's a hell of a bike ride for mal, dude... :D |
| 21:00.11 | Maloeran | Eh, Montreal is far away in the snow with a bike these days :) |
| 21:00.16 | brlcad | oh he'd be going too? :) |
| 21:00.49 | ``Erik | <-- not affluent enough to visit strange countries (and canada is very very strange) just for lunch |
| 21:01.25 | cadguy | not effluent enough? There's medication for that. |
| 21:02.27 | ``Erik | this code has been infected and infested. :/ it'll take more work than I'd hoped to extract for standalone testbedding. :( |

| 21:04.38 | cadguy | DAG -> MJM |
| 21:05.23 | brlcad | Maloeran: do you know if they considered a H2B visa instead? that would at least get you a visa for a year and is less strict |
| 21:05.54 | Maloeran | I don't think they did, they mostly considered H1B and various ways to achieve immigration status |
| 21:06.01 | Maloeran | I'll have a look and pass the message |
| 21:06.54 | brlcad | it's entirely limited to a year, and I think non-renewable -- but it might be useful to get something else in place |
| 21:08.15 | Maloeran | I see, sound good. That would give more than an year to find a bachelor degree somewhere |
| 21:26.11 | brlcad | otherwise, you could become their season code gardener or something ;) |
| 21:26.16 | brlcad | h2a visa |
| 21:26.31 | brlcad | that'd get you another year or two |
| 21:27.52 | Maloeran | Is that the visa for working in agriculture? :) Eheh, yes |
| 21:30.08 | ``Erik | *sigh* a simple binary tree instead of a hash. ffs. |
