| 06:03.14 | hcurtis | Update: I'm working on fast4-g.c, but I'm stuck. However, I've thought of two questions I can ask myself in order to take a fresh look at the task: 1) When converting from FASTGEN4 format to BRL-CAD format, why does dynamic memory need to be allocated in the first place? 2) In the code blocks where bu_malloc appears, what variables, pointers, and other elements does it operate on? |
| 06:17.49 | hcurtis | Another possibly helpful question is this: what are the actual contents of bu_malloc (and alloc, which it contains)? |

| 17:45.34 | raj12lnm | mihaineacsu_bbl |
| 17:45.51 | clock | brlcad, how difficult would it be to implement placing objects so that they touch each other? |
| 17:45.52 | clock | for example |
| 17:45.59 | raj12lnm | mihaineacsu_bbl : u didnt warn me |
| 17:46.08 | clock | I have a cone with angle of 35 degrees |
| 17:46.08 | ``Erik | open source ca{d,e,m} and pictures of cats, yo O.o :D |

| 17:46.21 | mihaineacsu_bbl | raj12lnm: it shouldn't go black at all |
| 17:46.21 | brlcad | you mean an explicit constraint? you can implicitly make them touch each other already |

| 17:46.50 | raj12lnm | and i could see only the terminal |
| 17:46.51 | clock | before I did it using wikipedia, paper, pencil, calculator, and a lot of time |
| 17:47.04 | ``Erik | clock: libpc was started to address that, I don't believe it reached usability :/ so it'd be manual at this time |

| 17:47.12 | clock | Oh yes and I forgot |

| 17:47.39 | clock | I dont know what explicit or automatic means |
| 17:47.49 | clock | but I guess "two things touch each other" is probably a constraint yes |
| 17:48.04 | clock | another example is this |
| 17:48.10 | mihaineacsu_bbl | raj12lnm: if you could see the terminal it means x11 works fine. so it's not that. brlcad mentioned running /usr/brlcad/dev-7.24.1/bin/mged and it see if that works |

| 18:31.59 | clock | instead of specifying positions of objects you can specify the gam between them |
| 18:32.13 | clock | if u make statistical analysis of the gaps youll see the most often comes 0 |
| 18:32.28 | clock | and the smaller values come more often |

| 18:40.56 | clock | then press "continue", "finished", and "OK" |
| 18:41.09 | clock | and the "home" |
| 18:41.44 | clock | cause I have my spmartphone also for other things than constantly watching the alarm listing screen |
| 18:41.54 | clock | so entering the time is 2 keypresses |
| 18:42.01 | clock | confirming is 4 |
| 18:42.02 | fenn | i type "930" and it gives me an error "hours must be 1-12" |
| 18:42.17 | clock | so actually doing the useless overhead of doing nothing takes 2 times more energy than doing what I wanted to do - enter the time |
| 18:44.42 | fenn | "Rule 1. |
| 18:44.42 | fenn | |
| 18:44.57 | fenn | An interface should be habituating. If the interface can be operated habitually then, after you have used it for a while, its use becomes automatic and you can release all your attention to the task you are trying to achieve. Any interface will have elements that are habituating, but the principle here is to make the entire interface habituating." |
| 18:45.04 | clock | seems like the optimization function when designing the smartphone was maximizing the energy needed to enter an action |
| 18:45.55 | fenn | the optimization function was "pay the least amount for subcontracted programmers" |
| 18:45.59 | clock | I would go even further |
| 18:46.05 | clock | take some action which is done the most often |
| 18:46.11 | clock | like tapping the touchscreen |
| 18:46.16 | clock | and make it incredibly complicated |
| 18:46.30 | clock | like you have to press increase and decrease volume for 5 seconds |
| 18:46.51 | clock | then reboot the smartphone while tapping the power key every 1.3 second but not less than 1.2 or more than 1.4 |
| 18:46.57 | clock | then you get service bootloader menu |
| 18:47.21 | clock | where you have to enter a PUK which you can get only if you mail a document to the headwuarters of the company |
| 18:47.32 | clock | e-mail is not accepted, and you need to mail in 3 copies verified by an attorney |
| 18:47.35 | clock | each time new |
| 18:47.36 | fenn | up down left right hold a b start |
| 18:47.44 | *** join/#brlcad jasleen_ (~chatzilla@117.255.245.224) |
| 18:47.47 | clock | after that you are allowed to activate the function "enter X and Y coordinates of a tap" |
| 18:47.53 | clock | I think that would be a pinnacle of smartphone design |
| 18:48.50 | clock | fenn, pay programmers? |
| 18:48.52 | fenn | actually they do have an incredibly complex system to unlock the phone, except it's not just 10 or 100 button presses, but 4096 bits |
| 18:49.07 | clock | fenn, couldnt they do the development on students which work for free in exchange for experience? |
| 18:49.45 | clock | I have to enter these 6+ taps to do n action which always repeats: |
| 18:49.47 | fenn | nah students are too slow/naive; they would try to do a good job and not finish in time. a contractor knows how to pump out shit code |
| 18:49.58 | clock | enter a constant time for my pill alarm |
| 18:50.34 | clock | so I will probably solder a device with NE555 timer |
| 18:50.41 | clock | which will cost like 10 times less than the smartphone |
| 18:50.56 | clock | do the same function with 6 times less keypresses |
| 18:51.12 | fenn | how many times less is zero keypresses |
| 18:51.24 | clock | my smartphone is Android |
| 18:51.44 | fenn | so download "tea timer" |
| 18:51.44 | clock | like |
| 18:51.52 | clock | why do I have to press light switch every time I want to turn the light on |
| 18:52.01 | clock | when its pretty easy to figure out that I will want to turn it on? |
| 18:52.29 | fenn | i have also been thinking about this |
| 18:52.30 | clock | or like those repeating commands in BRLCAD |
| 18:52.32 | clock | to render and view |
| 18:53.40 | clock | I wish I could use my smartphone without actually entering into a legal contract with a 3rd party to fully use it |
| 18:53.51 | clock | I use only software that can be downloaded outside the google market |
| 18:54.09 | clock | like OSMand |
| 18:55.34 | clock | or like what is the first thing a user will do when he starts BRL-CAD? |
| 18:55.37 | clock | 1) click the firefox icon |
| 18:55.41 | clock | 2) type google.com |
| 18:55.48 | clock | 3) type "how to use brl-cad" |
| 18:55.53 | clock | so could we just preprogram this into brl-cad? |
| 18:56.36 | clock | what will user do when he gets error message from brlcad? |
| 18:56.41 | clock | <PROTECTED> |
| 18:56.44 | clock | 2) type google.com |
| 18:56.48 | clock | 3) type "how to use brl-cad" |
| 18:57.17 | clock | so I suggest instead of printing error messages, firefox with google.com/query=error_text is started |
| 18:57.52 | clock | I get impression todays software is programmed by people WHO NEVER EVER USED A COMPUTER! |
| 18:58.30 | clock | im sory mistake last point 3) should be "copy paste the error message into the search" |
| 19:05.54 | fenn | clock: tea timer is in f-droid, which is why i suggested it |
| 19:06.06 | fenn | i tried various timer apps and it sucked the least |
| 19:06.56 | clock | fenn, so f-droid is like android apps where I don't have to sign any crazy contracts with irrelevant 3rd parties? |
| 19:07.14 | clock | I find this idea absurd |
| 19:07.30 | clock | when I turn my stove on I don't have to sign a contract with manufacturer of the stove burner |
| 19:08.19 | clock | why do I need this in my telephone? |
| 19:08.45 | clock | i dont have to do this in my PC |
| 19:09.41 | clock | I dont have to do this in other things which ave battery like flashlight. Neither in things which are square and white like fridge. Nor things which have screen like TV. I see no reason why I should have to in smartphone |
| 19:11.24 | clock | fenn, thanks for mentioning f-droid thats exactly what I wanted, you really made my day :) |
| 19:12.21 | fenn | f-droid the project needs some help |
| 19:13.01 | fenn | there is a lot of missing software, no search, no screenshots, etc |
| 19:15.15 | Notify | 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 60934 (brlcad/trunk/include/rt/db_diff.h brlcad/trunk/src/gtools/gdiff2/summary.c and 2 others): Rather than storing attributes in sets as we were previously, use a data structure setup that preserves the per-attribute diff state information. The other way, any summary printing had to essentially re-do the avs diff. |
| 19:21.00 | clock | I tried install firefox and dicing app and both say "parse error in package" |
| 19:21.02 | clock | and install nothing |
| 19:21.21 | clock | but it makes the phone warm |
| 19:21.46 | clock | so maybe they should rename it handwarmerdroid? |
