| 00:04 | | * Vornicus tries to remember the most insane indexing trick he ever did |
| 00:06 | <~Vornicus> I mean just yesterday I wrote a test for my polynomial library that was literally f(g)(x), where g is also a function. |
| 00:06 | <~Vornicus> (that's right, I called a function with another function, then called the function that that returned) |
| 00:07 | < maoranma> | i...wut? |
| 00:07 | < gnolam> | The most insane indexing trick Vornicus ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. |
| 00:07 | <~Vornicus> heh |
| 00:08 | <~Vornicus> maoranma: I have a polynomial type; it has some basic tools in it like the ability to add and multiply polynomials. These polynomials, however, are callable. |
| 00:08 | <~Vornicus> You pass an x value to it and it gives you the value of that polynomial at that x. |
| 00:09 | < maoranma> | What the fuck would you possibly do with that? Teach math? |
| 00:09 | <~Vornicus> So it turns out that since I included multiplication and addition, I didn't need to write an explicit polynomial composition method. |
| 00:09 | <~Vornicus> maoranma: polynomials are /fucking everywhere/ |
| 00:09 | <~Vornicus> In my case I wrote this code so I could draw curves. |
| 00:09 | < maoranma> | Are... are you... am I talking to a polynomial right now? |
| 00:10 | <~Vornicus> So, simply passing a polynomial to another one gives me another polynomal, and that one I can call. |
| 00:10 | <@Vash> | ... So is vorn a polynomial that doesnt' exist now? |
| 00:11 | < maoranma> | that's it |
| 00:11 | < maoranma> | class human(terminator): |
| 00:11 | < maoranma> | target = Vornicus |

| 10:13 | <@jerith> | Fellow emacsers! https://github.com/jerith/jerith-emacs |
| 10:14 | <@jerith> | I finally got around to doing some modular emacs config stuff. |
| 10:20 | | You're now known as TheWatcher |
| 10:23 | <@TheWatcher> | That's far nicer an tidier than my single monolithic .emacs file, certainly |
| 10:24 | <@jerith> | TheWatcher: I wrote it and am sharing it because I couldn't find anything that did that. |
| 10:25 | <@jerith> | So if it's useful for more anyone else to look at, the effort of putting it on github is worthwhile. :-) |
| 10:28 | | * TheWatcher yoinks it, will look into converting his config to use it later |
| 10:30 | <@TheWatcher> | (you know, after I've had at least one tea, and can type straight) |
| 10:33 | <@jerith> | Feel free to throw ideas or pull requests my way. |
| 10:34 | <@jerith> | It's somewhat suboptimal still, and is fairly specific to me. |

| 11:02 | <@jerith> | Yay for exciting new hacks to replace crusty old ones. |
| 11:05 | <@TheWatcher> | \o/ |
| 11:06 | <@jerith> | Two things I really need to do. |
| 11:06 | <@jerith> | Some kind of prioritisation of the prefs scripts, so I can assume that certain things will happen before or after other things. |
| 11:07 | <@jerith> | Actually filter out the blacklisted prefs files, if any. |
| 11:25 | | Kindamoody|lunch is now known as Kindamoody |
| 11:29 | < gnolam> | Huh. Glew is up to 1.7.0? Time to update. |
| 11:30 | <@TheWatcher> | jerith: Well, the former you could do with the old NN_ filename prefix, and sort the list in get-prefs-files-to-load |
| 11:52 | <@jerith> | TheWatcher: Yeah, but that's ugly. |
| 11:52 | <@jerith> | I think I'll just use "aaa-" and "zzz-" prefixes. |
| 11:53 | <@jerith> | That way most of the prefs files can keep their nice names. |
| 11:54 | <@TheWatcher> | *shrug* fairynuff |

| 13:57 | <~Vornicus> So, I look at some other code I've written lately, that's not version controlled, and I go "where's my version control markers?" |
| 13:58 | <~Vornicus> It's apparently grown on me~ |

| 17:25 | | * Vornicus fiddles with an old mac 4x called "galactic frontiers", is again surprised at how many options this relatively minimal game has in it. |
| 17:34 | <@iospace> | that's... not a good sign |
| 17:35 | <@iospace> | my desktop booted into chkdsk |
| 17:37 | < Namegduf> | Vornicus: Older 4X games were badass that way. |
| 17:39 | <~Vornicus> The core game is very simple: planet development is "spend ships to do things", you don't get ship designs or tech or diplomacy... |
| 17:41 | <@iospace> | seems to be minor errors |
| 17:41 | <@iospace> | thank god Dx |
| 17:41 | < Namegduf> | Check SMART |
| 17:42 | <@iospace> | i should |
| 17:42 | <@iospace> | but SMART is hit or miss |
| 17:43 | < maoranma> | the way that was phrased it sounded like chkdsk was your new OS, and I was about to point out you're not going to run much on that |
| 17:43 | < Namegduf> | I think most of the misses are cases where the drive didn't display any faultiness prior to total failure |
| 17:44 | <@iospace> | yeah |
| 17:44 | <@iospace> | this is a newish drive sadly |
| 17:44 | <@iospace> | (this computer is on its last legs anyway >_>) |
| 17:45 | < Namegduf> | Drives are mostly likely to crap themselves when new or old rather than in the middle, so it's not too implausible. :( |
| 17:45 | < Namegduf> | Do you keep regular backups? |

| 19:14 | <~Vornicus> woot |
| 19:14 | < maoranma> | can I have one mommy? http://wallbase.cc/wallpaper/565668 |
| 19:32 | < maoranma> | Hmm, that could be a project. Setup a python script to regularly scrape wallbase for photos of a certain size... |
| 19:32 | <@ToxicFrog> | Augh, what the hell is going on here |
| 19:33 | <@ToxicFrog> | In the main program, I connect the triggered() signal on a QMenu to a debugging function |
| 19:34 | <@ToxicFrog> | When it actually fires, I get an error from QCoreApplication::processEvents (or QCoreApplication::exec, depending on how the mainloop is structured) saying that it's been called with the e wrong number and type of arguments. |
| 19:34 | <@ToxicFrog> | I cannot construct a minimal test case that replicates this. |

| 20:05 | <~Vornicus> If you're entirely insane. |
| 20:06 | < maoranma> | Check, what next? |
| 20:06 | < celticminstrel> | XD |
| 20:06 | < celticminstrel> | Insane? :P |
| 20:07 | <~Vornicus> You could do it with fixed or something, or try some crazy thing with like negative margin values. |

| 20:43 | < maoranma> | Hmm, looking into it, this shouldn't actually be that hard. I just need to figure out how to load the right page from wallbase, find the link to the actual wallpaper's page, then save the jpg or png found there |
| 20:44 | < maoranma> | Is BeautifulSoup the best thing for that? |
| 20:59 | < celticminstrel> | Seems like you'd need to apply said negative margins with javascript for it to work. |
| 20:59 | < celticminstrel> | So not worth it. |
| 21:00 | <~Vornicus> Why do you want to do that anyway? |
| 21:00 | < maoranma> | We established that he's insane. |

| 22:57 | <@TheWatcher> | Oh, directory-files returns the file list in alphabetical order anyway, so no sort is needed |

| 23:57 | <~Vornicus> Certainly. |
| 23:57 | < Reiver> | Derakon[AFK] too, but he's gone so |
| 23:57 | < Reiver> | OK, premise for a 4X game. Possibly 3X haven't figured out Research, but |
| 23:57 | <~Vornicus> perhaps #spacerpg would be a more appropriate place. |
| 23:57 | < Reiver> | hee, good idea |
