WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE
00:53
<&Derakon>
Massive I/O bottleneck?
01:08
<&ToxicFrog>
Derakon: I'd assume so, except that the only difference between this and hello world, iowise, is that this loads a single 30k from disk
01:08
<&ToxicFrog>
*a single 30k file
01:08
<&ToxicFrog>
And hello world runs in like ten seconds with a cold block cache and instantly otherwise
01:09
<&Derakon>
Some kind of resource lock contention, then?
01:11
<&ToxicFrog>
That
01:11
<&McMartin>
The file being re-read 47 million times?
01:11
<&ToxicFrog>
's what I'm wondering
01:11
<&ToxicFrog>
Can't imagine what, though
01:14
<&McMartin>
dtrace?
01:15
<&ToxicFrog>
McMartin: not familiar with that one
01:52 Derakon is now known as Derakon[AFK]
01:54
<&ToxicFrog>
Derakon[AFK]: I found the problem!
01:55
<&ToxicFrog>
That long delay is the XML parsing library fetching the DTD and all of the files it includes from the apallingly slow W3C servers
02:25
<~Vornicus>
02:26
<&McMartin>
\o/
02:26
<~Vornicus>
w.t.f.
03:12
< Namegduf>
Haha, wow.
03:12
<&McMartin>
Which library is this?
03:13
< Namegduf>
That teaches you for using opaque libraries for a language whose parsing rules are too complex to understand the impact of. :P
03:13
<&McMartin>
They aren't that complex
03:13
<&McMartin>
There's a URL at the very top of the document that says "this is the DTD of this document"
03:16
< Namegduf>
Doesn't seem like it was particularly easy to get from that to "the library will retrieve this and all dependencies", though.
03:16
< Namegduf>
(Also that's one specific rule out of about a million)
03:16
< Namegduf>
(The XML spec is absurd)
03:20
<&ToxicFrog>
Namegduf: well, if it doesn't do that it can't validate the document, as required by the spec
03:21
<&ToxicFrog>
McMartin: clojure.xml
03:21
<&ToxicFrog>
Really the takeaway here is "fuck xml"
03:23
<&McMartin>
"fuck DTDs"~
03:23
<&McMartin>
There's gotta be a way to get rid of that behavior, because that's silly
03:23 Kindamoody is now known as Kindamoody[zZz]
03:24
<&ToxicFrog>
There is. It involves bypassing clojure.xml to adjust half a dozen poorly documented configuration flags in the Java XML parser itself.
03:29
<&ToxicFrog>
It is in fact vastly more concise to just rewrite the XML as it's read to omit the DTD

XML is nice. But I can't help but think, it's salad dressing.
04:44
<&McMartin>
whut
04:54
<&ToxicFrog>
XML is nice for its originally intended purpose, which no-one on earth uses it for.
04:54
<&ToxicFrog>
Or rather, would be nice, if it weren't hideously overspecified and a parsing nightmare.
04:55
<&McMartin>
Certain subsets of XML are handy if what you are primarily doing is generating large amounts of marked-up text.
04:57 Vash[CoH] is now known as Vash
04:59
<&ToxicFrog>
Yes.
04:59
<&ToxicFrog>
My point is that no-one uses it for that.
05:00
<~Vornicus>
Um
05:01
<&ToxicFrog>
(Yes, I am parsing XHTML, but at this point XHTML is a complete typesetting and document description format that incidentally contains small fragments of marked-up text)
05:33
< cpux>
Aaaand......I use it to store data on an overloaded server. Because ISO standards demand it. o_O

gee, this would be easier if I already had some matrix and vector types with examples of rotation OWAIT

Specifically the dihedral angle

10:46

Grrrr. Ask qalculate for acos(-1/sqrt(5))) in degrees and I get ~116.6?. Ask for pi - acos(-1/sqrt(5))) and I get.. -113.4?
10:48
< Rhamphoryncus>
I have no idea what that could mean or if it's a bug

ask wolframalpha?
14:19
< froztbyte>
my brain is entirely useless to advanced thinking of any kind today
14:19 * froztbyte has slept 3 hours
14:23
< Rhamphoryncus>
I have it open at the moment, but I have no idea how to get what I need
14:24
< froztbyte>
just throw the formula at it
14:24
< Rhamphoryncus>
Which formula?
14:24
< froztbyte>
it should give you a few options for interpretation if it reckons there are multiple answer types
14:24
< froztbyte>
or you could ask it for attributes of the thing you want to figure out
14:24
< froztbyte>
and it'll spew facts it can find about that thing
14:25
< Rhamphoryncus>
geometric properties for the pentakis dodecahedron doesn't include the vertices
14:25
< froztbyte>
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=vertices+for+a+pentakis+dodecahedron ?
14:26
< Rhamphoryncus>
hrm
14:26
< froztbyte>
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=pentakis+dodecahedron&lk=1&a=ClashPrefs_*Po lyhedron.PentakisDodecahedron- also has some info that appears like it might be useful
14:28
< Rhamphoryncus>
I think that's rotated
14:29
< Rhamphoryncus>
And unfortunately it's more of a dump of hardcoded values than a method for computing them
14:30
< froztbyte>
ah
14:31
< froztbyte>
it seems like it might be possible to get something out of those geometric properties
14:31
< froztbyte>
but that's just a guess
