| 00:25 | < Finerty> | Hm. Further bugs; tell disambiguation does not check to see whether I would know about something. |
| 00:31 | < Finerty> | So, for instance, asking about hte paper (in the crack) asks if I want to ask about the piece of paper, or the marks on the paper, or the drawing. |
| 00:34 | < Finerty> | I have not yet seen the marks or the drawing though |
| 00:34 | < Finerty> | ...aahaahaa. If you're the only person in the room: Grunk tell lots of thing to Grunk, but it turn out that Grunk know it all before. |
| 00:46 | < Doctor_Nick> | ohhhhhhhhhh snaaaaaaap |
| 00:47 | < Finerty> | Actually this delay is getting worse and worse. |
| 00:47 | <@gnolam> | It's a speed-up loop! |
| 01:01 | | Finerty is now known as Vornicus |

| 01:25 | | * Vornicus fiddles, isn't sure what he can do any more. |
| 01:26 | <@McMartin> | To? |
| 01:26 | < Vornicus> | in Lost Pig. |
| 01:26 | < Vornicus> | ...oh, there's a ... |
| 01:26 | < Vornicus> | heh. a smiley face. |
| 01:30 | <@McMartin> | There's also an in-game hint system. |
| 01:30 | < Vornicus> | I see that. I just asked it. |
| 01:30 | | * Vornicus gets a coin. |
| 01:32 | < Vornicus> | Briiiiick |
| 01:34 | < Vornicus> | ...halfbriiiiiick |
| 01:38 | | * ToxicFrog determines that adding widescreen support to Ground Control is entirely too much work. |
| 01:57 | < Vornicus> | Grunk remember what happen next! <--- Hey, he /can/ learn stuff! |
| 01:58 | <@McMartin> | BRIIIIIIICK |
| 01:59 | | * Vornicus now needs to figure out how to get out. |
| 02:06 | <@McMartin> | Save right now |
| 02:06 | <@McMartin> | You'll see why in a bit |
| 02:07 | | * Vornicus fiddles. Wanders around some. |
| 02:08 | < Vornicus> | okay. can't do anything with the stream; it's inexhaustible, and I can't get all that powder there anyway. |
| 02:08 | < Vornicus> | And I can't jump in, either. |
| 02:09 | < Vornicus> | ...okay, that... probably wasn't the best of ideas. I wonder if it ever goes out. |
| 02:11 | <@McMartin> | That's why you saved~ |
| 02:11 | < Vornicus> | Heh. |
| 02:11 | <@McMartin> | (Set the walls on fire, did we?) |
| 02:12 | < Vornicus> | ((yes)) |
| 02:15 | < Vornicus> | (right, I'll poke at it later)) |
| 02:15 | | * Vornicus goes downstairs to do Important Things. |
| 02:43 | < Vornicus> | okay, 6 out of 7. |
| 02:43 | <@McMartin> | Yeah. The hint menu has changed |
| 02:43 | <@McMartin> | This is why I suggested the save at the point I did |
| 02:44 | | * Vornicus now needs to figure out number 7. |
| 02:46 | <@McMartin> | This is the Last Lousy Point |
| 02:46 | <@McMartin> | And as such is totally unclued. |
| 02:46 | < Vornicus> | I figured. |
| 02:46 | <@McMartin> | Except in the hint menu, which tells you how to get it. |
| 02:47 | < Vornicus> | hm |
| 02:48 | <@McMartin> | Not setting the walls on fire is a good start~ |
| 02:48 | < Vornicus> | Yeah, I didn't. |
| 02:48 | < Vornicus> | In the end |
| 02:54 | < Vornicus> | needs an 8th point. |
| 02:54 | < Vornicus> | Dunno what it'd be, but it needs it. |
| 02:54 | < Vornicus> | Just so it can go "lots" |
| 03:07 | <@McMartin> | Heh |
| 03:08 | <@McMartin> | Also |
| 03:08 | | * McMartin reduces the running time for one of his analyses from ~75 minutes to ~8 seconds |
| 03:08 | <@McMartin> | TODAY'S LESSON |
| 03:08 | < Vornicus> | linear time beats quadratic? |
| 03:08 | <@McMartin> | If you must iterate through an insanely large worklist, that must be kept in a partial order |
| 03:08 | <@McMartin> | Have it be a list of sets. |
| 03:08 | <@McMartin> | Do not, under any circumstances, impose a total order over the partial one. |
| 03:08 | < Vornicus> | Heh |
| 03:09 | <@McMartin> | Because Jesus Christ. |
| 03:09 | <@McMartin> | Actually, Jesus reminds me that I lie. |
| 03:09 | <@McMartin> | The total order, if easier to code and prove correct, you use on small test cases to show that the more complex list-of-sets code works. |
| 03:09 | <@McMartin> | Then you unleash it on your large dataset. |

| 04:19 | < Vornicus> | Why /do/ sorted lists look shorter than unsorted ones? |
| 04:38 | <@McMartin> | I must admit, I have not noticed this. |
| 04:39 | < Vornicus> | I just rearranged my channel list, because I wanted to make sure I wasn't carrying around extra PM windows. |
| 04:39 | < Vornicus> | I wasn't, but after sorting, it looks like I have about twice as much blank space as I did before. |

| 19:09 | < EvilDarkLord> | Wait, I'm being stupid. Never mind! |
| 19:18 | <@ToxicFrog> | ? |
| 19:19 | < EvilDarkLord> | I had declared leapyears as an integer as well. |
| 19:31 | <@ToxicFrog> | I'm begging you. Establish context before you start talking. |
| 19:41 | < EvilDarkLord> | Uh? I had made a stupid mistake in the code above. Leapyears as both a function and an integer. |
| 19:43 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...how far above? |
| 19:44 | <@ToxicFrog> | That is to say, how many days ago was this? |
| 19:44 | < EvilDarkLord> | Er. The pastebin link I posted just now. |
| 19:44 | <@ToxicFrog> | You pasted no such thing. |
| 19:44 | <@ToxicFrog> | And indeed if you look you will probably see "cannot send URLs to channel (you need voice)" |

| 19:45 | <+EvilDarkLord> | Hnh. Irssi didn't tell me this, it looks like it went through from here. |
| 19:46 | <+EvilDarkLord> | http://rafb.net/p/2vTgZF26.html is the link I thought I posted. |
| 19:47 | <+EvilDarkLord> | ...wait. It did tell me, but as usual, not in the most attention-grabbing way. |
| 19:47 | <+EvilDarkLord> | Sorry about that. |
| 19:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | irssi fails at a lot of things, so. |
| 20:02 | <+EvilDarkLord> | Can you recommend a better text client? |
| 20:03 | <@ToxicFrog> | No, sadly. |
| 20:03 | <@ToxicFrog> | The others are all worse. |
| 21:37 | <@McMartin> | And I'm not convinced that this isn't a feature of irssi |
| 21:37 | <@McMartin> | Since it means the endless yammering about the goddamned alien white courtesy phone does not interrupt whatever conversation you were having. |
| 21:38 | < TheWatcher> | snrk |
| 21:44 | <@ToxicFrog> | You know, we tried using wallops for it once, which people can easily turn off by setting themselves umode -w. |
| 21:44 | <@ToxicFrog> | And got five times as many complaints next time it was used. |
