| 01:16 | <@McMartin> | Hm, not sure how I didn't end up in here |
| 01:17 | <@McMartin> | As it happens, I have a Python question. |
| 01:17 | <@McMartin> | I'm given to understand that the % operator on strings is deprecated in 3.x |
| 01:17 | <@McMartin> | I have a text processing project I'm starting up, and I figured I'd do it in 3.x for practice. |
| 01:17 | <@McMartin> | How are we supposed to format strings now? |
| 01:30 | | * McMartin digs around, finds what he thinks is the answer |
| 01:30 | <@McMartin> | The Python Docs are linking to the wrong piece. =P |
| 01:31 | <@Kazriko> | something like {1} and such. i'm not sure i like it. |
| 01:31 | <@Kazriko> | too used to the % operator. |
| 01:32 | <@Kazriko> | "blah {1}".format("blahblahblah") or something like that... |
| 01:32 | <@Kazriko> | I can't remember exactly though... |
| 01:32 | <@McMartin> | http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/string.html#template-strings |
| 01:32 | <@McMartin> | This is actually better for what I'm going to use it for, too, so that's a happy thing. |
| 01:32 | | * McMartin has one variable that needs to appear at multiple places |
| 01:32 | <@McMartin> | And so that's $varname inside the string. |
| 01:33 | <@Kazriko> | I think there's multiple ways then? hmm. |
| 01:33 | <@Kazriko> | just above that is the .format thing. |
| 01:33 | <@Kazriko> | "{name!r}" |
| 01:33 | <@Kazriko> | "{varname!s}" and such. |
| 01:34 | <@McMartin> | Oh hey |
| 01:34 | <@McMartin> | Actually, that's even better |
| 01:34 | <@McMartin> | Because I can also do "{self.fieldname}" |
| 01:34 | <@McMartin> | As part of __str__ |
| 01:34 | <@Kazriko> | yeah. |
| 01:35 | | * Kazriko does too much C coding at work, so is too used to % formatting. heh |
| 01:36 | | * Kazriko is doing DynamicC right now... |
| 01:36 | | gnolam [lenin@Nightstar-38637aa0.priv.bahnhof.se] has joined #code |
| 01:37 | | * Kazriko grumbles about porting from C++ to DynamicC... |
| 01:44 | <@Kazriko> | porting libraries, unit tests, and the whole program. Including rewriting the entire unit test framework and so forth... |
| 01:44 | <@Kazriko> | and rewriting the entire modbus database that the old hardware came with built in. |
| 01:47 | < gnolam> | DynamicC? |
| 01:47 | <@Kazriko> | custom c compiler for some 8-bit computers. |
| 01:48 | <@Kazriko> | it's not exactly ansi-c compatible... |
| 01:59 | < gnolam> | Ah. |
| 02:03 | | * gnolam stabs graphics cards manufacturers yet again. |
| 02:04 | < gnolam> | I fully understand why there isn't a rand() function in GLSL, but there /are/ noise[n]() functions - and _they should be implemented goddamnit_. |
| 02:05 | | * gnolam rolls his own 1D noise function. |
| 02:06 | | * Kazriko finishes all the unit tests for the first ported module. |
| 02:07 | <@Kazriko> | now to make sure I didn't forget to unittest any stray variables. heh |
| 02:11 | <@Kazriko> | only 7 variables. heh |
| 02:11 | < gnolam> | Whoa. You can make some seriously trippy effects with poor noise functions. |

| 19:55 | < gnolam> | Hmm. Brain damage. |
| 19:56 | < Finale> | what happened to the XHTML discussion, anyway? |
| 19:58 | < gnolam> | There's a homework assignment on the physics portion of the course where you get a bunch of kinematics formulae for a particle thrown in your face, and the assignment is basically "pick starting variables, plot the result, tell us what kind of motion the particle experiences". |
| 19:59 | < gnolam> | I read the first two lines of the combined formulae/pseudocode block and went "Ah, ballistic trajectory with drag". |
| 20:00 | < gnolam> | Coding is bad for your mental health. |
| 20:01 | < Finale> | what's wrong with it? |
| 20:03 | < gnolam> | The fact that I was supposed to read the next 6 lines, turn it into something plottable, and then plot it with a couple of different starting variables before saying what it was? :) |
| 20:03 | < Finale> | hehe. |
