| 21:00.21 | brlcad | cwstirk: do you know if anyone's made a stepcode participation announcement somewhere? |
| 21:00.44 | brlcad | TCD: i'd be worried if you did pretend :) |
| 21:00.53 | brlcad | we're a friendly bunch here |
| 21:01.04 | brlcad | except that ``Erik guy, he gets grouchy |
| 21:01.07 | brlcad | (j/k) |
| 21:01.43 | TCD | The celestial particle system does sound pretty cool, however |
| 21:02.00 | brlcad | TCD: any of the red ones sound interesting? |
| 21:02.17 | brlcad | (they're red because they're not yet expanded with details) |
| 21:02.35 | brlcad | TCD: what's your background? |
| 21:03.01 | TCD | brlcad: do you mean language wise or project/area of interest wise? |
| 21:06.07 | brlcad | yes |
| 21:06.33 | TCD | (what was I expecting, heh) |
| 21:08.09 | cwstirk | brlcad: Not aware of any. Do you have suggestions of places? |
| 21:09.00 | TCD | a) C++ (though somewhat out of practice), python, C#. b) gamedev mostly, recently artificial life/biological modelling/evolutionary stuff has piqued my interest too |
| 21:09.16 | TCD | with a...reasonable foundation of maths |
| 21:09.29 | Notify | 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 60091 brlcad/trunk/sh/conversion.sh: don't execute the output of rm (shellcheck) |
| 21:10.58 | brlcad | cwstirk: I have a couple university connections I was going to reach out to, but didn't know if maybe there's an ISO mailing list or other broad-reaching group, maybe some students listening or parents with students in college |
| 21:11.33 | brlcad | TCD: well we have all of that except c# |
| 21:12.20 | brlcad | even an AI project (genetic algorithm to patch geometry shapes) |
| 21:12.25 | brlcad | s/patch/match/ |
| 21:12.44 | brlcad | we have math everywhere, intro to post-doc level |
| 21:12.48 | TCD | Not enough orgs have C#..but I guess it doesn't work well with 'open source' very much (except Mono) |
| 21:14.07 | TCD | ooh. |
| 21:14.16 | brlcad | it's not very popular among open source devs |
| 21:14.27 | cwstirk | brlcad: Not aware of appropriate ISO mailing lists. All I can think of is a couple of google and linkedin groups. |
| 21:15.23 | TCD | I couldn't find this AI one on the ideas list, though |
| 21:15.28 | brlcad | cwstirk: would you be willing to write something up? |
| 21:16.01 | brlcad | I know there's been a little interest on the mailing list, but would be good to make sure there's a stellar set of candidates this year |
| 21:16.07 | brlcad | pool was too shallow last year |
| 21:16.26 | brlcad | TCD: I think it got pulled off last yera |
| 21:16.39 | brlcad | TCD: those are just ideas, not a menu ;) |
| 21:16.48 | brlcad | you are free to craft your own idea too |
| 21:17.12 | brlcad | can certainly give you more info about the AI project if that's more interesting than all the rest |
| 21:17.28 | TCD | brlcad: I know; I just thought you mentioned it because it was taken from the list :) |
| 21:17.34 | brlcad | but the prior work was convincing research, so I'd personally rather see work in other areas |
| 21:18.09 | cwstirk | brlcad: Ok, and I agree with you. |
| 21:18.17 | brlcad | TCD: no, just mentioned it because we really do like to match up projects with student interest .. something that you can get excited about |
| 21:18.23 | TCD | aHH |
| 21:18.25 | TCD | Oops. |
| 21:18.55 | brlcad | i'm passionate about AI techniques, but don't get to leverage them in useful ways very often |
| 21:19.18 | brlcad | plenty of similarly hard and interesting graphics algorithms to hit up too |
| 21:19.27 | TCD | I guess I'm most interested in procedural generation, genetic algorithms and evolutionary/biology-y stuff, and simulation modelling |
| 21:20.28 | TCD | thus why the celestial simulation drew my interest, heh |
| 21:20.41 | brlcad | have you done much/anything with molecular graphics? |
| 21:21.01 | brlcad | it's a whole field in itself |
| 21:22.10 | TCD | I've got an interest in chemistry (it was my second choice of study behind CS), but it's not something I knew existed |
| 21:22.46 | TCD | I recently found out artificial chemistry is a field so that's pretty cool. |
| 21:24.05 | Notify | 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 60092 (brlcad/trunk/CMakeLists.txt brlcad/trunk/include/dm/dm-osg.h brlcad/trunk/src/libdm/CMakeLists.txt): Narrow down the libs we're explicitly looking for - most of these get pulled in anyway, but we don't directly talk to them with our code. |
| 21:24.15 | brlcad | if you can think of a way to tie in chemistry, biology, or molecular structures to some useful geometry capability (even if said capability exists elsewhere), that would be interesting |
| 21:24.22 | brlcad | TCD: how's your C? |
| 21:25.00 | TCD | brlcad: uh, in practice? nothing beyond what I've used in C++, but I've been exposed to it plenty |
| 21:25.07 | Notify | 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 60093 brlcad/trunk/sh/enumerate.sh: s/printf/echo, especially to avoid substitution in the format string (shellcheck) |
| 21:26.37 | brlcad | TCD: but so you know what a pointer is, how to pass them around, dereference them, access arrays, etc |
| 21:27.01 | brlcad | function pointers, constness, type casting |
| 21:30.31 | TCD | oh yeah, definitely |
| 21:34.31 | brlcad | cool, so that pretty much opens the gates |
| 21:34.45 | TCD | It's if you want to go into byte aligning structs and the like that I know the rough idea, but I've never exactly put them into practice |
| 21:35.06 | brlcad | you could work on infrastructure to *natively* support creating microscopic/macroscopic geometry |
| 21:35.36 | TCD | Maybe the fact I can't really think of much in C that I haven't covered in C++ (bar malloc/free) means I'm missing something big, but oh well, heh |
| 21:36.11 | brlcad | yeah, there are some gotchas, some techniques that are very common in C that you wouldn't use in C++ and vice-versa |
| 21:36.26 | TCD | There's at least 2+ months to look them over :P |
| 21:36.33 | brlcad | just being aware of them and not trying to force C to be like C++ or vice-versa is a good thing |
| 21:36.49 | brlcad | modular code is always good |
| 21:36.55 | brlcad | whether it's OO or not |
| 21:37.32 | TCD | I know I've got at least 2 or 3 projects which never actually got anywhere because I spent so long aiming for a completely modular and extendable design that I never put any content into |
| 21:39.18 | TCD | I'm not entirely sure what you mean, though; having both macroscopic and microscopic geometry in the same space? |
| 21:55.28 | ``Erik | "gets" groucy? beeyotch, I STAY grouchy :D |
| 21:58.06 | TCD | But to stay grouchy surely you would've needed to get grouchy originally ;) |
| 21:58.09 | brlcad | TCD: no, implementing or improving support for representing one or the other |
| 21:58.17 | TCD | ohh, I took it as and not or |
| 21:58.33 | ``Erik | TCD: bit alignment of struct members is beyond "normal" C, simply being able to reference and dereference a pointer puts you well ahead of the pack. (indeed, knowing what the '*' symbol does and having seen it in code instead of just '&' puts you ahead of most c++ coders, I'd imagine) |
| 21:58.42 | brlcad | basically, what is needed to represent something that's 1e-12 without blowing out floating point math |
| 21:59.08 | brlcad | right now, most of our system assumes "human-scale" geometry |
| 21:59.14 | TCD | Oh, I get you |
| 21:59.22 | brlcad | so rendering something galactic or subatomic has to be manually scaled |
| 21:59.26 | ``Erik | internally, our 1.0 "units" is mm |
| 21:59.43 | TCD | I'll look into it more when I've finished up this technical 'report' in 20 mins or so :P |
| 21:59.50 | brlcad | basically need something like a double-multiplier |
| 21:59.57 | ``Erik | galactic, heh, we have issues at the solar system level, holmes :) |
| 22:00.00 | brlcad | TCD: no rush, we can talk more later |
| 22:00.14 | brlcad | we're in/out all day every day .. hang around and you'll eventually get someone or myself |
| 22:00.23 | TCD | :D |
| 22:00.26 | brlcad | ``Erik: that's in a galaxy somewhere ;) |
| 22:00.27 | ``Erik | hit the 'ringworld' procdb with no parms and raytrace, there's an interesting hit/miss pattern |
| 22:00.38 | brlcad | so yeah, project to fix that ;) |
| 22:00.47 | TCD | maybe everyone just likes putting tons of stuff into march |
| 22:00.51 | brlcad | model solar system to scale |
| 22:00.58 | brlcad | fix all bugs that ensue |
| 22:01.22 | brlcad | or a molecule to scale, ditto |
| 22:02.06 | ``Erik | *nod* same problem, loss of fidelity with an extreme exponent part to the floating point representation |
| 22:02.30 | brlcad | yeah |
| 22:03.06 | ``Erik | brlcad: I did a full system upgrade today (sure you saw), I'm hoping that it seated correctly so the migration this weekend will put us on the most recent 9-STABLE |
| 22:03.19 | brlcad | ``Erik: awesome, thanks |

| 22:04.18 | ``Erik | heh, anything not sago? googling around showed a lot of similar complaints and they seem to be a fairly small potatos |
| 22:04.35 | brlcad | like to find something reputable, not quite as big as sago so we're not just another small fish in the sea |
| 22:05.10 | ``Erik | I don't know any good current colo's, almost everything I've researched lately has been more cloud, crap like heroku, aws, etc |
| 22:05.30 | brlcad | they're actually fairly big and one of the cheapest, which is part of the problem .. the other being several changes in management |
| 22:05.49 | brlcad | apparently middle-manager fist-fights in the parking lot isn't uncommon |
