| 02:07 | < Rikushadow5> | So, today, some moron asked me if I could write a program to be placed on a cellphone. |
| 02:07 | < Rikushadow5> | That's not the moronic part. |
| 02:07 | < Rikushadow5> | He asked if I could write it to summon demons. |
| 02:07 | < Tamber> | Buh. |
| 02:07 | < Rikushadow5> | Like, Real Demons. |

| 02:08 | < Rikushadow5> | My response was "Why would you want to summon Rachel Ray from your cellphone?" |
| 02:08 | < Tamber> | Riku: Because she won't answer his calls. |
| 02:08 | < Rikushadow5> | And then I told him he was being an idiot, and there's no way an amateur programmer like me could pull that shit off, even if it was possible. |
| 02:08 | < Rikushadow5> | That's probably why. |

| 03:27 | < kwsn> | The answer to 6 / 2 (1+2) depends on what compiler you use (recent FB question) |
| 03:28 | < Tamber> | This is why I like to use lots of parens. ...that and I like playing with LISP. |
| 03:29 | < kwsn> | lots of silly parens eh? |

| 19:06 | | * Derakon hands Microsoft the Collapsed Flan of Unachievement. |
| 19:06 | < Derakon> | For two things. |
| 19:06 | < Derakon> | First, I wanted to install their free version of Visual Studio, so I downloaded the .iso with the installer on it, mounted it as a virtual CD, and ran the installer. |
| 19:07 | < Derakon> | The installer failed, because, as part of the installation process, it tries to write to where the installer is located, which is of course impossible...but it does this silently, and only complains when it discovers that the file it tried to write isn't there (which happens after a reboot). |
| 19:07 | < TheWatcher> | ... |
| 19:07 | < Derakon> | Secondly, I installed Python 2.7 alongside Python 2.5. This installation re-did the file associations, but for now I need to keep using 2.5, so I tried to change them back. |
| 19:08 | < Derakon> | This is, in fact, impossible because Windows thinks that since the interpreter executables have the same filename (but different paths!) they are the same program. |
| 19:08 | < Derakon> | So I had to rename the interpreter in the 2.7 install just to fix the file associations. |
| 19:10 | | * TheWatcher makes a note to self to copy everything off the VS2008 cd when he downloads it at work~ |
| 19:10 | < Derakon> | Yeah, that's the recommended workaround. |

| 21:36 | | * Derakon improves the runtime of his code by a factor of 25 or so in certain edge cases. |
| 21:40 | < jerith> | \o/ |
| 21:48 | < Derakon> | I don't know how often those edge cases will happen, but I could do it, so I did. |
| 21:49 | < Derakon> | Basically we have a 4D array of data that we're taking various 2D views of. |
| 21:49 | < Derakon> | As long as we're looking at the data perpendicularly, extracting the 2D view is very cheap, but as soon as we change our viewpoint, calculating the view becomes significantly more expensive. |
| 21:50 | < Derakon> | The program is, naturally, intended to help you find the right viewpoint, so I assume most people won't spend much time in the perpendicular one. |

| 22:23 | | * Derakon eyes this old (read: not written by him) code. |
| 22:23 | < Derakon> | It spends 1169 lines in a single module for viewing a file. |
| 22:24 | < Derakon> | The program I've written is 446+476+185 = 1107 lines for that particular functionality and it's more capable and the code makes sense. |
| 22:25 | < Derakon> | Sooooo maybe I should just split that out into a library and use it in more than one place~ |
| 22:25 | < jerith> | :-) |
| 22:25 | < Derakon> | Only problem is I've yet to figure out how to set up my repo so that code I use in more than one place is still easy to deploy. |
| 22:26 | < Derakon> | (Where by "deploy" I mean "copy onto a thumb drive" or "upload a tarball to a server", depending) |
