| 16:55 | <@Derakon> | G'day. |
| 16:55 | <@Derakon> | http://paste.ubuntu.com/565948/ |
| 16:56 | < celticminstrel> | ? |
| 16:56 | < gnolam> | ... at this point, the word that pops into my head is "mercy killing". |
| 16:56 | <@Derakon> | An excerpt from the C++ portion of some of the code I am unfortunately responsible for. |
| 17:00 | <@Derakon> | I love how this is dated from seven years ago and says we absolutely have to do this, but we clearly don't... |
| 17:24 | <@Derakon> | Random: http://angband.oook.cz/forum/showpost.php?p=48529&postcount=17 |
| 17:24 | <@Derakon> | That's on the Angband forums. |
| 17:54 | <@Derakon> | if(darkPixelMaxFound<*p) darkPixelMaxFound = *p; |
| 17:54 | <@Derakon> | if(darkPixelMinFound>*p) darkPixelMinFound =*p; p++; |
| 17:54 | <@Derakon> | Now the question is, is this a bug or not? |
| 17:54 | <@Derakon> | It sure looks like a bug from its structure... |
| 17:55 | < celticminstrel> | The fact that p++ isn't included in the if statement that it looks like it's a part of? |
| 17:55 | <@Derakon> | Yeah. |
| 17:58 | < celticminstrel> | Seems like it shouldn't be. |
| 17:58 | <@Derakon> | Which is why I'm wondering. |
| 17:59 | <@Derakon> | Fortunately this code is not currently ever called. |
| 17:59 | <@Derakon> | Unfortunately it's nominally doing something we want to add support back for. |

| 18:10 | <@ToxicFrog> | Derakon: I don't think that's a bug, it's just really badly formatted. |
| 18:11 | <@ToxicFrog> | (1) If the current pixel is > max, set max to current |
| 18:11 | <@Derakon> | You may well be right. |
| 18:11 | <@ToxicFrog> | (2) If the current pixel is < min, set min to current |
| 18:11 | <@ToxicFrog> | (3) increment current |
| 18:14 | | * Derakon arghs at the variable name "nuImage". |
| 18:14 | <@Derakon> | Was it really too much to ask to add the extra letter in so it would be spelled properly? |
| 18:18 | < celticminstrel> | newImage, or nulImage? |
| 18:19 | <@Derakon> | newImage. |
| 18:19 | <@Derakon> | The code in question is applying a per-pixel correction to the output of a camera. |

| 18:37 | <@Derakon> | Hey Rhamph, don't suppose you know if there's a way in Numpy to compute the mean, max, and min of an array in a single pass? |
| 18:37 | <@Derakon> | Like, a built-in? |
| 18:38 | < Rhamphoryncus> | I've no idea, sorry |
| 18:38 | <@Derakon> | Obviously I could write my own function but the built-ins are generally more efficient. |
| 18:38 | <@Derakon> | Oh well. |
| 18:38 | < Rhamphoryncus> | although even multiple passes from builtins could be pretty fast |
| 18:38 | <@Derakon> | My main concern is that the computers running this software are decrepit. |
| 18:38 | <@Derakon> | They're running Windows 2000, for example. |
| 18:44 | < Rhamphoryncus> | hrm don't even see a combined min/max |

| 20:34 | < SchoolPhox> | So, I've got a question relating to characters and strings. |
| 20:35 | < SchoolPhox> | Let's suppose I'm defining a character array at the beginning of my program, and I need the ascii character represented by the code 0x1F |
| 20:36 | < SchoolPhox> | Can I use the escape sequence \0x1F ? |
| 20:36 | < McMartin> | Usually that's \x1F. |
| 20:37 | < McMartin> | \0xxx means xxx is in octal, not hex. |
| 20:37 | < McMartin> | So you could also do \0037 |
| 20:37 | < SchoolPhox> | Okay. I'll give that a try |
| 20:38 | < SchoolPhox> | \0031, incidently |
| 20:39 | < McMartin> | 31 octal is totally not 1F hex. You can tell because all the rightmost bits are 1. |
| 20:39 | < SchoolPhox> | Ah, my bad. Octal, again |
| 20:44 | < SchoolPhox> | Now, I've got that immediately followed by a number, i.e "\00374", where 4 is intended to be the next character. Will the compiler correctly compile that as two separate characters? |
| 20:45 | < McMartin> | There's a way to make it do so |
| 20:45 | | Nethr [NSwebIRC@FD3571.2233F7.69D3C5.14EB42] has joined #code |
| 20:45 | < McMartin> | But I don't remember offhand what it is. |
| 20:45 | < SchoolPhox> | Alright. I'll do some further reading. |
| 21:10 | <@Vornicus> | what language are we working in anyway? |
| 21:10 | <@Vornicus> | (in C, strings are bytes only, and the octal escape is three digits long always) |
| 21:11 | <@Vornicus> | (so the correct method is "\0374" there |
| 21:14 | < SchoolPhox> | Yeah, it's C |
| 21:35 | | * Derakon eyes his checkin history from the last two days. |
