| 15:15.51 | starseeker | I haven't worked with that function in a while - surprised the issue didn't come up sooner |
| 15:15.57 | starseeker | did something change? |
| 15:20.59 | starseeker | digs into it |
| 15:23.27 | starseeker | ah, nuts - yeah, I think I see why it wouldn't work |

| 16:39.57 | starseeker | cool - down to just one failing test |
| 16:40.05 | starseeker | inverse_attr3 |
| 16:40.07 | mpictor | yeah, been that way for a while |
| 16:40.20 | mpictor | hope to get it wrapped up soon |
| 16:40.38 | mpictor | was busy hunting jobs |
| 16:40.40 | starseeker | sorry it took so long to respond to Rob's email |
| 16:41.08 | mpictor | yeah, me too |
| 16:41.35 | starseeker | I think what I've got in there now should hold up, or a least be easy to tweak further if need be |
| 16:41.58 | mpictor | thanks! |
| 16:42.17 | starseeker | np |
| 16:42.23 | mpictor | I start at a company called Interactive Intelligence on the 7th |
| 16:42.31 | starseeker | cool! |
| 16:42.33 | mpictor | sounds like a pretty awesome place |
| 16:43.01 | mpictor | they told me they were ok with my open source involvement, without any prompting from me... so I'm happy |
| 16:43.09 | starseeker | nice |
| 16:43.29 | starseeker | do they use step? |
| 16:43.36 | mpictor | heh, no they don't |
| 16:43.46 | mpictor | totally unrelated |
| 16:44.04 | mpictor | they do voip call routing software for customer support centers |
| 16:44.33 | starseeker | that'll keep you busy :-) |
| 16:44.45 | mpictor | speech recognition to look for phrases that indicate the customer is unhappy, etc |
| 16:45.03 | mpictor | 15M lines of code |
| 16:45.35 | mpictor | windows embedded is biting them on the butt, so they were looking for people with linux experience |
| 16:45.45 | starseeker | that would be an awesome resume line - "trained system to recognize cussing in 10 languages!" |
| 16:45.52 | mpictor | LOL |
| 16:46.16 | mpictor | that wouldn't be good enough, they localize in 22 languages ;) |
| 16:46.19 | starseeker | 15M lines?? |
| 16:46.20 | starseeker | yow |
| 16:46.40 | mpictor | >24hr build |
| 16:47.23 | mpictor | but that's debug, release, 32 and 64 bit, and whatever's necessary for the different languages |
| 16:47.35 | starseeker | well, if you're portin 15M lines of code from Windows to Linux, you may need 22 languages worth of cussing |
| 16:47.44 | mpictor | heh I might |
| 16:48.02 | starseeker | CMake? |
| 16:48.22 | starseeker | probably not, on Windows embedded... |
| 16:48.23 | mpictor | sounds like they can already cross-compile to linux, but they don't test thoroughly yet |
| 16:48.31 | mpictor | no, they use ruby's rake |
| 16:48.45 | mpictor | didn't realize it worked with anything but ruby |
| 16:48.58 | starseeker | blinks |
| 16:48.59 | mpictor | rakefiles look a lot like makefiles |
| 16:49.25 | mpictor | somewhere I saw that rake doesn't support parallel builds :o |
| 16:50.05 | starseeker | erk. Step 1: Write script to convert rake to CMake |
| 16:50.12 | starseeker | no wonder it takes 24 hrs |
| 16:50.24 | mpictor | lol yeah |
| 16:51.03 | mpictor | might be easier to just patch rake for parallel builds, assuming they haven't done so already |
| 16:51.10 | starseeker | nods |
| 16:51.36 | mpictor | oh yeah, I also get to find an embedded linux distro for 'em |
| 16:51.50 | starseeker | nods |
| 16:52.06 | starseeker | that sounds like fun - cool news! |
| 16:52.18 | mpictor | yeah! |
| 16:52.24 | starseeker | wonder if your open source work helped sort you to the top of the resume heap |
| 16:52.36 | starseeker | the fact they mentioned it explicitly is interesting |
| 16:53.13 | mpictor | well, their application did have a question about extracurricular activities, and I mentioned stepcode and gsoc |
| 16:53.20 | starseeker | nice |
| 16:53.46 | mpictor | however, one of the people who interviewed me wrote some code on a whiteboard and asked me what it did |
| 16:53.56 | starseeker | heh - the practical test |
| 16:54.19 | mpictor | I explained it and pointed out a possible buffer overflow, then he said it was analogous to code he saw in raw() and wrap() in exppp |
| 16:54.54 | mpictor | I'd been warned that he was brilliant before hand... didn't need any convincing after that |
| 16:55.20 | starseeker | wow |
| 16:55.39 | starseeker | he casually read code in stepcode to prepare an interview question? |
| 16:56.05 | starseeker | that's... somewhere between astounding and scary |
| 16:57.53 | mpictor | someone else told me he had the highest score ever on some C++ challenge online |
| 16:58.31 | mpictor | wish I could remember the name of the challenge |
| 16:58.45 | starseeker | fights the temptation to hunt a buffer overflow in exppp... so much to do, so few hours... |
| 16:59.00 | mpictor | LMAO |
| 17:02.03 | starseeker | finds raw() and winces... where did 10000 come from as a char array size? |
| 17:02.50 | mpictor | always been there AFAIK |
| 17:04.12 | starseeker | mpictor: well, congrats on the coding/linux job! I gotta run out for a bit - probably back later tonight. |
| 17:06.21 | mpictor | thanks! |
| 17:06.31 | mpictor | and thanks for fixing the cmake problem as well |
| 17:56.52 | mpictor | hoiji: I left some comments on your commit |
| 17:57.01 | mpictor | sorry it took me so long! |
| 17:57.59 | mpictor | I'll be back on later if you have questions/comments/etc |
| 17:58.08 | hoiji | thanks :) |
| 19:08.34 | hoiji | mpictor: I do have one question. For ensuring the thread safety of judy array structures such as `_fwdInstanceRefs`, I will have to clone them everytime functions like `getFwdRefs()` are called by the user for read purposes (as judys' are not even concurrent read safe). The problem with this is that if many-many threads call these functions, we can |

| 19:13.45 | hoiji | Also, though I may have to log-out soon, I am in the habit of checking the log in the morning, so you can answer the above question even if I am offline :) |
