| 04:14 | < kwsn> | so, new semester, two new computer courses: Real time embedded and AI |
| 04:17 | <@ToxicFrog> | Neat |
| 04:22 | <@ToxicFrog> | I take it that RTE is about realtime programming on microcontrollers and the like? Really low-level stuff? |
| 04:59 | < simon_> | my new courses: multi-threaded programming and advanced language processing |
| 05:39 | <@ToxicFrog> | (Cryptographic Security), (Multi-Agent Systems), and (Technical Communication & Research Methodology) here. |
| 05:39 | <@ToxicFrog> | Also, multithreaded programming specifically, not a more general parallel course? |
| 05:40 | | * jerith just has work. :-/ |
| 05:40 | < simon_> | it's operating systems and multi-programming |
| 05:40 | < simon_> | so we probably end up implementing something related to scheduling. |
| 05:41 | < simon_> | there's a course called "extreme multi-programming" :) |
| 05:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aah |
| 05:41 | < simon_> | it's basically about CSP. |
| 05:42 | < simon_> | this is a basic course. |
| 05:42 | <@ToxicFrog> | (my comparison here is the Parallel Programming course here, which primarily covers shared-memory and message-passing parallelism, multiprocessing, multithreading, and cluster computing) |
| 05:43 | < simon_> | there's also a course on parallel algorithms. that's pretty cool. |
| 05:43 | < simon_> | right |
| 05:43 | < simon_> | there's also a course called cluster computing here. |
| 05:43 | < simon_> | but the elementary course that I take covers many of the things you just said. |
| 05:50 | | * ToxicFrog nods |
| 05:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | At the moment there aren't dedicated courses for any of these topics - operating systems covers shared-memory threading to some extent but that's it. |
| 05:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | However, this is a fairly new course, and there's talk of taking some of the information in it (probably SM/MP multithreading and multiprocessing) and moving it into a required second-year course, and then having dedicated fourth-year electives for CC et al |
| 05:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...if there's any money in the budget for it, HAH |
| 05:54 | < simon_> | hehe |
| 05:54 | < simon_> | ToxicFrog, are you a PhD student? |
| 05:56 | <@ToxicFrog> | Master's. |
| 05:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | M.Sc in Computing, research areas parallel computation and reconfigurable hardware. |
| 05:57 | | * Alek blinks. |
| 05:57 | < Alek> | so. |
| 05:57 | < Alek> | my library has a new book. |
| 05:57 | < Alek> | HTML 5. |
| 05:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yes? |
| 05:58 | < Alek> | not in the catalog yet, but that's understandable, given the catalog is a leftover from the 90's. |
| 05:58 | | * Alek IS GETTING that book next trip. -_- |

| 14:24 | <@AnnoDomini> | gnolam: You know, I somehow suspect that OOo Draw was written by different people than OOo Writer. |

| 14:50 | < gnolam> | Not from what I remember. |
| 14:50 | < gnolam> | And they should just let Draw die and let us EMBED FUCKING SVG ALREADY. |
| 15:02 | < gnolam> | Or PS. Or EPS. Or any kind of vector format /that doesn't suck/. |
| 15:20 | <@ToxicFrog> | LaTeX fo life, yo |
| 15:22 | | * TheWatcher seconds TF |
| 15:23 | < gnolam> | Apples and oranges. Or at least apples and... err.. pears? |
| 15:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | Only in the sense that they're totally different approaches to accomplishing the same task. |
| 15:25 | < Namegduf> | I assume you were meaning over Writer, not Draw? |
| 15:25 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yes. |
| 15:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | (I've never used draw; I make all of my figures using graphviz, gnuplot, or dia, depending) |
| 15:28 | <@ToxicFrog> | Anyways. I was interpreting gnolam's comment as "they should let you embed vector formats in Write/Calc/etc, at which point Draw is obsolete and should be taken out back and shot" |
