| 04:41.11 | brlcad | hcurtis: no they do not |
| 04:41.55 | brlcad | and while fixing spelling mistakes is good, that really won't give us ANY idea about your coding ability |
| 04:43.57 | brlcad | starseeker: :) that's fantastic |
| 04:45.18 | brlcad | I suspected that was going to be the issue, static initialization during library loading is a feature of C++ libs and is opaque to the linker |

| 04:46.29 | brlcad | it's basically what's going on with the step converter sources when it was an autotools build and they were turned into a noinst library ... needed some explicit call to force the library to load so the linker is aware of it when linking against C code |
| 05:04.30 | hcurtis | Hi, Sean. Thank you for your feedback. My original plan was to work on a patch that involved more actual coding, but I opted to at least start on the spelling problem because it is a patch I KNOW I can have to you by tomorrow. I recall one of the mentors' saying that while underscoping is annoying, failing to deliver is unacceptable. That's why I thought in this particular time-pressured situation it would be wise to choose the spelli |
| 05:05.16 | hcurtis | That said, what would you like me to do to demonstrate my coding ability? If you would like me to tackle a BRL-CAD problem that is more obviously coding, I will do it (at the risk of not succeeding). |
| 05:12.24 | hcurtis | One idea is for me to send you some of the programs I have done for school, but my best guess is that they wouldn't interest you. |
| 05:12.36 | hcurtis | brlcad: One idea is for me to send you some of the programs I have done for school, but my best guess is that they wouldn't interest you. |
| 05:27.48 | brlcad | hcurtis: well, you can certainly start with spelling, but that should literally take you less than an hour ... but is not easy because we're actually pretty good at our spelling |
| 05:28.21 | brlcad | that will at least shown if you're adept at searching code and creating a patch ... but if it ends up taking you all day, not a good sign :) |
| 05:28.46 | brlcad | code you've written for school is not helpful |
| 05:29.23 | brlcad | it's assumed you have at least basic coding skills, the question is how good you are at reading and modifying existing code written by others .. much much harder |
| 05:30.41 | brlcad | the TODO file (especially the items near the beginning of that big file) are probably more suitable since those are real issues that are current interet |
| 05:31.38 | hcurtis | brlcad: Ok |
| 05:37.49 | hcurtis | brlcad: Thank you for your candor. At the same time, I'd like to point out the fact that someone can't get a 3.886 GPA in a programming curriculum (as I have) without being able to code at all. I appreciate what you and the other mentors have done for me, I would love to have this opportunity, and I am sincerely trying my best with the skills I do have. |
| 05:39.27 | hcurtis | brlcad: And yes, you guys have turned out to be pretty good spellers :) |
| 05:44.13 | brlcad | your best bet is to pick a random file and run a spell-checker on it, rinse and repeat a dozen times until you find a few and search the entire tree for those |
| 05:45.05 | brlcad | like I said, no concerns whether you can code at all -- it's assumed you could write new code for the task you propose given unlimited time |
| 05:45.58 | brlcad | working with an existing code base, strict code quality requirements, code formatting requirements, and just navigating a massive complex set of APIs can be completely different from what one encounters in an academic context |
| 05:46.32 | brlcad | not impossible, just rare and quite different, especially when it comes to modifying code |
| 05:47.18 | brlcad | good luck hunting and try to stay on irc more, discuss your progress even if nobody responds immediately (it is always read) ;) |
| 05:47.24 | brlcad | enwanders |
| 06:17.07 | hcurtis | brlcad: I have some information I’d like to share with you. I can write it here, but it’s longish. Would you like me to just put it here anyway or should I e-mail it to you instead? |
| 06:21.40 | hcurtis | brlcad: By the way, thanks again for the advice. |

| 19:57.35 | ankesh11 | Hi, I am working on the Benchmark Performance Website project, is it necessary to deploy the site using a Mediawiki extension? This puts several constraints on the development. I understand that the current brlcad site is deployed using mediawiki but redirecting a subdomain to a mediawiki independent setup should be trivial. I think we should continue using |
