| 00:10 | | * TheWatcher jealouses |
| 00:11 | < TheWatcher> | I've got two cores going at 100%, and need more, damnit! |
| 00:11 | | * Tamber notes that quad-cores are actually pretty affordable now. |
| 00:12 | < McMartin> | This machine is two dual-core i7s with hyperthreading, I believe. |
| 00:20 | < gnolam> | Ach. That reminds me. I have code to write for a gazillion-core cluster as well. :P |
| 00:22 | | * gnolam also stabs platform differences with a spoon. |
| 00:23 | < Tamber> | We've replaced gnolam's libc with uclibc, lets see if he notices. |
| 00:24 | < celticminstrel> | Of course, he's stabbing with air, because there is no spoon. <_< |
| 00:38 | | * TheWatcher idly watches make output scroll past, wonders if some of the authors of these things have ever actually built their own sodding code... |
| 00:39 | < Tamber> | Of course not. |
| 00:39 | < celticminstrel> | Of course not what? |
| 00:39 | < Tamber> | Or if they have, it's with warnings hidden, because it stops complaining when you do that! |
| 00:40 | | * Tamber points celticminstrel up a few lines. |
| 00:40 | < celticminstrel> | Well, I wasn't sure if you were responding to TheWatcher or me! :P |
| 00:41 | < celticminstrel> | I usually turn up the warnings to 11. |
| 00:41 | < celticminstrel> | I even set warnings as errors when doing Objective-C stuff recently, because most of the warnings are about things that will cause a runtime error anyway. |
| 00:45 | < McMartin> | Yeah, but given how many times C will go HOLY SHIT GUYS YOU PASSED AN UNSIGNED INTEGER INTO THIS ARGUMENT WHERE I WAS EXPECTING A SIZE_T one does get a bit jaded |
| 00:54 | < celticminstrel> | Yeah, a lot of the C warnings are useful but not really sufficient to warrant an error condition. The trouble is, Objective-C issues a warning if it detects that the class might not respond to a particular method. This is the sort of thing you'd expect to be a compile error. It's a compile error in most languages. And thus, I set warnings as errors for sanity. |
| 00:54 | < McMartin> | Yeah |
| 00:54 | < McMartin> | I should have cleared up that I totally agree this is important for Objc. |
| 00:55 | < McMartin> | Especially because unlike Python relying on duck typing in objc is basically *always* an error. |
| 00:55 | | * TheWatcher tends to get twitchy about any warnings he lets through, out of insanity |
| 00:55 | < gnolam> | There should be an -OCD switch in any compiler. |
| 00:55 | < celticminstrel> | I wish Eclipse would classify javadoc things as a category of their own, separate from warnings. |
| 00:55 | < celticminstrel> | XD |
| 00:55 | < McMartin> | gnolam: Well, there's -pedantic |

| 01:22 | < McMartin> | AHA |
| 01:22 | | * McMartin finds his problem. |
| 01:22 | < McMartin> | Not *really* a 3p problem after all, unless you count MS in the first place - stuff that was designed to work with XP guests not guaranteed to work in Win7 guests. |
| 01:22 | < McMartin> | Who knew, different OSes do different things, etc. |

| 02:06 | < gnolam> | McMartin: problem with the 7th guest, eh? Must've been quite a puzzle. |
| 02:07 | < McMartin> | Yeah, I had to rearrange the soup cans to spell out the cryptographic signature I found in the XP GINA and then it opened the door |

| 16:13 | < gnolam> | Hmm. |
| 16:14 | < gnolam> | To specify decay series by hand or generate them automagically with the new data I just received, that is the question. |
| 16:46 | | Stalker [Z@26ECB6.A4B64C.298B52.D80DA0] has joined #code |
| 17:08 | < Attilla> | exponential decay? logarithmic decay? |
| 17:10 | < Attilla> | (linear decay?) |
| 17:13 | < Vornicus-Latens> | Attilla: decay series are "what decays into what", not "how long does it take" |
| 17:24 | < Attilla> | oh, right. Well to work that out you have to realise (or vice versa I suppose) what byproducts the decay process causes |
| 17:25 | < Attilla> | (and find rare beta-plus decays?) |
| 17:31 | < gnolam> | As a general rule, radionuclides - especially the naturally occurring ones - aren't found in isolation in nature. |
| 17:31 | < gnolam> | So when the user specifies one, he or she most probably wants to add the rest of the decay chain as well. |
| 17:33 | < gnolam> | So I either have to prepare presets (e.g. the uranium series) by hand, or generate suggestions programmatically. Or both. |
| 17:34 | < gnolam> | As a bonus, with the new data I can skip loading the heavy datafiles for now and decrease startup time by orders of magnitude during testing. \o/ |

| 19:30 | | * celticminstrel ... doesn't get it |
| 20:49 | < ToxicFrog> | celticminstrel: the sequence of isotopes a radioactive passes through as it decays is called a "decay chain" |
| 20:50 | < ToxicFrog> | (or "decay series", per earlier conversation) |
