Hmm.
16:57 * gnolam tries to remember how to calculate moments of inertia.
16:59 * gnolam goes with one of the standard ones.

22:38 * ToxicFrog strangles the arctangent function
22:39
<@gnolam>
Why?
22:43
< ToxicFrog>
Because it has range (-?/2, ?/2)
22:51
<@gnolam>
Yes?
22:57
< ToxicFrog>
So, when trying to get the angle to object X relative to object Y given their cartesian coordinates, if the second object is to the left of the first, you get the wrong answer using plain arctan.
23:00
<@gnolam>
But if you can get at their coordinates, you have enough information to decide which side it's on.
23:01
< ToxicFrog>
Yes.
23:01
<@gnolam>
So you're just annoyed at the extra work.
23:01
< ToxicFrog>
But it would be nice to just call atan(?y/?x) and get the right answer.
23:02
<@gnolam>
Anyway, it's all the tangent function's fault for its bloody infinities! Poor tan^-1 is blameless! ;)
23:02
< ToxicFrog>
Well, the extra work, and the weird bugs that occurred before I tracked it down and remembered that the range of the arctric functions is consistently half an arc.
