Anyone here know anything about Yellow Dog Linux? :/
05:46
<@Doctor_Nick>
no
05:46
<@Doctor_Nick>
other than its based off of red hat
05:47
< Shoukanjuu>
Hm.
05:52
<@Vornicus>
Yellow Dog iirc was originally a binary-based distro for PowerPC
05:52
<@Vornicus>
THey created the Yellowdog Update Manager, or 'yum'
05:52
< Shoukanjuu>
yeah
05:53
< Shoukanjuu>
My brother tried to isntall it on his PS3
05:53
< Shoukanjuu>
And I don't even know how to get it from the command prompt after login @_x
05:53
< Shoukanjuu>
Apparently, he hasn't fully booted it

14:06 * UndeadAnno mumbles at Oz Mozart. It's been mulling this problem over for some minute now.
14:07
<@UndeadAnno>
Apparently using lists, rather than tuples makes it reeeeeaaaaaaaally slow.

$do || ! $do ; try

try: command not found
14:09 * UndeadAnno tries first-fail distribution. Seems a little faster.

Fortunately, this doesn't sap my box's power much.

<@UndeadAnno>
It's weird. When I modified the code to have fewer lists, though containing the same information - which made it less human-grokkable - it actually found an answer in less than 100 steps.
15:11
<@UndeadAnno>
As opposed to millions of them and never finding one.
15:12
< Shoukanjuu>
Less code, less room for mistake
15:13
<@UndeadAnno>
It didn't actually reduce the amount of code much. I just replace three lists with one list the size of the three.
15:14
< Shoukanjuu>
But it DId reduce the code? >_>
15:14
< Shoukanjuu>
And since there is one list, there wasn't a need to go frm list to list? >_>
15:15
< Shoukanjuu>
I don't completely understand things, but at the very least, I'm an inquisitve idiot
15:15
<@UndeadAnno>
I'm talking about constrain programming.
15:15
<@UndeadAnno>
!google Oz Mozart
15:16
<@UndeadAnno>
Hrm, DiceBot apparently doesn't do !google.
15:16

I would, but I'v been up for 45 hours and neither one of my eyes will stop twitching.

<@UndeadAnno>
I would suggest sleep.
15:18
< Shoukanjuu>
I would suggest sleep, too.
15:18
< Shoukanjuu>
now if only the vopices in my head weren't bickering about the price is right
15:18
< Shoukanjuu>
....That's...the TV, actually
15:18 * UndeadAnno shoots Shoukanjuu with a tranquilizer dart.
15:18 * Shoukanjuu mutates
15:19
<@UndeadAnno>
Please close your eyes.
15:19
<@UndeadAnno>
You don't have to go to bed, just close your eyes.
15:20
< Shoukanjuu>
I did that once
15:20
< Shoukanjuu>
Seriously, though, I have work to do...need to finish...
15:51
<@UndeadAnno>
No, you don't.
15:51
<@UndeadAnno>
You need to sleep.

18:39 * UndeadAnno weeps tears of bubbling pitch, at having to understand this: {FD.disj (X.I+Ap.I=<:X.J) {FD.disj (X.J+Ap.J=<:X.I) {FD.disj (Y.I+Bp.I=<:Y.J) (Y.J+Bp.J=<:Y.I)}}}=:1
18:46
<@UndeadAnno>
It's a big ol' disjunction, but I fail to see what it actually does.
18:55
<@ToxicFrog>
What language is that?
18:56
<@UndeadAnno>
Oz.
18:56
<@UndeadAnno>
It's a magazine problem. X and Y are anchor points on the grid, Ap and Bp are sizes.
18:56
<@UndeadAnno>
I and J are indexes.
19:04
<@UndeadAnno>
I need to understand this first, to be able to do this in three dimensions.
19:13
<@UndeadAnno>
Eureka!
19:13
<@UndeadAnno>
Now I comprehend it.
19:14
<@UndeadAnno>
3D would just add two components to this. Sort of.
19:15
<@UndeadAnno>
This thing is to ensure that each object is, in relation to every other, in one of the following positions: a) to the left, b) to the right, c) below, d) above.
19:15
<@UndeadAnno>
To prevent overlapping.
19:16
<@UndeadAnno>
Since we do know that the size always adds to the anchor point, we can do this with just four conditionals.
19:17
<@UndeadAnno>
In a 3D environment, we would have to add: e) in front, f) behind.
19:17
<@UndeadAnno>
The Z-dimension would also be added to the anchor point, so no worries there.
19:38
<@UndeadAnno>
2.5 million distribution operations. Ick. I'll go eat supper while it explores.
19:51
<@UndeadAnno>
Damn it. It hung.
20:06
<@UndeadAnno>
What the freg.
20:07
<@UndeadAnno>
The computation time went from 200000 units to 200 when I switched the order of distributions, so that the smallest variable would be distributed first.
20:39
< Vornicus>
heh
23:37
< Vornicus>
ARG, WHY WILL THIS CODE NOT WRITE?
23:37
< Vornicus>
It's all there in my head. Why does none of it want to exit through my fingers?
23:45 UndeadAnno [AnnoDomini@Nightstar-29026.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has quit [Quit: God created man, God created woman, but Samuel Colt made them equal.]
