 15:04 <popey> #startmeeting Calculator app meeting

 15:04 <meetingology> Meeting started Thu Jun 26 15:04:09 2014 UTC.  The chair is popey. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology.

 15:04 <Mihir> Hey road obtain

 15:04 <popey> Hows it going chaps?

 15:05 <gang65> Quite nice :-)

 15:05 <rpadovani> Hey guys :-)

 15:05 <Mihir> Going good busy in official work too

 15:05 <rpadovani> studing, all great here

 15:06 <popey> So I think Mihir requested this meeting?

 15:07 <Mihir> Yeah I spoke to Ricardo and he asked me to notify you

 15:07 <popey> Groovy.

 15:07 <popey> What would you guys like to discuss

 15:07 <Mihir> It is basically what is next plan for calculatir

 15:07 <Mihir> Calculator*

 15:08 <gang65> the most important feature is copy/paste

 15:09 <gang65> I would like to fix sdk to allow swiping textfields

 15:09 <rpadovani> gang65, these would be awesome!

 15:10 <rpadovani> unfortunately, right now is impossible to do this, and this also causes some problems deleting a calc

 15:10 <gang65> yes

 15:10 <rpadovani> because if you want to swype from left to right, you instead choose a label

 15:11 <gang65> exactly

 15:11 <Mihir> Also, ricardo what do you think regarding advance functions

 15:11 <gang65> To move with advanced function the bug:

 15:11 <rpadovani> before this, could I add something about actual version of calculator?

 15:11 <gang65> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+bug/1315799

 15:12 <gang65> must be fixed

 15:12 <Mihir> Yes Ricardo

 15:12 <gang65> Also

 15:12 <gang65> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+bug/1333201

 15:12 <gang65> should be closed as duplicate of:

 15:12 <gang65> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+bug/1315799

 15:12 <rpadovani> So, actually we have one problem, that is the one gang65 linked, we have some very bad performance because the implementation

 15:13 <rpadovani> I think we need to think to a different implementation of engine before thinking about advanced functions

 15:13 <gang65> I agree with that

 15:13 <rpadovani> because the one we have now doesn't scale well, and we have bad performance

 15:14 <gang65> It will give us bracket support, which is mandatory for advanced functions

 15:14 <Mihir> Yup I agreed on that

 15:14 <rpadovani> related, I think we need to align our structure of files to others apps: why we have a simple folder? It's a little mess in this moment

 15:14 <rpadovani> I mean, I think a 'component' folder and a 'js' folder is a more intelligent division. Anyway, this is a trivial change

 15:15 <gang65> Could you please create ticket for that?

 15:15 <gang65> I don't want to miss that

 15:15 <rpadovani> gang65, yes, sure, so we can discuss which is the best structure

 15:15 <rpadovani> gang65, Mihir do you have any idea on how implement engine? To be honest, I have no idea on how create a calculator

 15:15 <gang65> thanks

 15:16 <rpadovani> popey, do you have any idea on how we can create an engine with some good performance?

 15:16 <rpadovani> We need to save result of every single calc

 15:16 <gang65> We discuss about that some time ago,

 15:16 <gang65> after press '=' the values should be stored

 15:16 <popey> Not really.

 15:16 <rpadovani> gang65, yes, but a lot of access to the storage is a bottleneck

 15:17 <gang65> I think we should store it in local variables

 15:17 <popey> should we only store a limited number in the backscroll?

 15:17 <popey> I mean, how often do you scroll up beyond the last few calculations?

 15:17 <Mihir> Ricardo, you suggesting remove engine.js and write our own

 15:17 <gang65> We don't need to store it in database

 15:18 <rpadovani> Mihir, well, I don't know if we are able to do this, but we can improve it

 15:18 <rpadovani> popey, well, the real problem aren't past calculations, but the calc the user is doing right now

 15:18 <rpadovani> popey, because after press equal it doesn't save the result, but only display it

 15:18 <Mihir> True, I like popey idea as well we can restrict saving calculation

 15:19 <popey> Right.

 15:19 <rpadovani> 1+1=+5= for the engine is (1+1)+5

 15:19 <rpadovani> should be 2+5

 15:20 <gang65> The previous 1+1= should be stored in some array and new value (2) should be passed to engine

 15:20 <rpadovani> the problem is with 'c' function. If we save the result but not the calc, if a user do 1+1=C+2, how can we manage that?

 15:20 <gang65> If we press 'c' then values will be taken from "array"

 15:21 <Mihir> Hmmm , either we can change our functionality of equal and send proper array to engine

 15:21 <Mihir> This could be one option I am not sure how good it can help

 15:21 <rpadovani> gang65, so we create an array with previous calc and put in the engine only the result. Sounds good, but we also need to think how to understand if 'c' is pressed after an equal or not

 15:22 <rpadovani> I mean, 1+1=+2+2C

 15:22 <rpadovani> has only to delete last +2

 15:22 <rpadovani> not retrieve old operation

 15:22 <gang65> yes

 15:22 <gang65> it will be retrive last operation

 15:23 <gang65> when  you you get first number

 15:23 <rpadovani> yap, we need a way to understand which is the first number

 15:23 <rpadovani> but seems a good idea

 15:23 <gang65> First number in engine

 15:24 <gang65> I will try to describe it on ticket:

 15:24 <gang65> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+bug/1315799

 15:24 <rpadovani> gang65, looool, you're right, stupid me

 15:24 <rpadovani> ok, so advanced functions for me is blocked until we do this improvement, what do you think guys?

 15:24 <gang65> After implementing that we will have nice bracket support

 15:25 <Mihir> True

 15:25 <gang65> Agree

 15:25 <gang65> Maybe after that we could set old science calculator as deprecated?

 15:26 <rpadovani> gang65, we don't have a scientific calculator...

 15:27 <gang65> ups

 15:27 <gang65> :-)

 15:27 <rpadovani> Anyway, I suggest to work on a separate branch, do you agree?

 15:27 <gang65> ok

 15:27 <mihir_> rpadovani: yeah

 15:28 <rpadovani> also, tonight I'll open the bug about the structure of the app

 15:28 <rpadovani> Anything else Mihir gang65 popey ?

 15:28 <gang65> yes

 15:28 <mihir_> rpadovani: are you suggesting it to have clean files , and remove directory strucut re?

 15:28 <mihir_> structure*

 15:29 <popey> Just one thing, we're doing hack days again next week, so if you have any bugs which you consider "bitesize" then I'd tag them as so.. http://developer.ubuntu.com/2014/06/bring-your-apps-to-hack-days/

 15:29 <mihir_> popey: that's awesome :)

 15:29 <rpadovani> mihir_, just to reorganize the files, and maybe split some of them

 15:29 <mihir_> hmm okay rpadovani  got it

 15:30 <rpadovani> sorry guys, I have to go, thanks for the meeting :-) See you soon!

 15:30 <gang65> thanks bye

 15:30 <mihir_> thanks everyone

 15:30 <mihir_> thanks popey rpadovani  gang65

 15:30 <gang65> @popey  Can we close https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+bug/1333201 as duplicate?

 15:30 <meetingology> gang65: Error: "popey" is not a valid command.

 15:30 <popey> sure gang65

 15:31 <popey> mark dupe if you need to

 15:31 <popey> I wont be offended ㋛

 15:31 <gang65> :-)

 15:32 <gang65> That's all from my side...

 15:33 <mihir_> nothing from my side as well

 15:33 <mihir_> thanks popey gang65

 15:34 <popey> Thanks guys!
