| 02:49 | | * macdjord mutters, ponder ponder |
| 02:49 | <@macdjord> | I need to construct a hash table in C for a struct consisting of 4 pointers. How best to do this? |
| 02:49 | <@macdjord> | Add them? Xor? |
| 02:50 | <@macdjord> | Xor with each one left-cycled a different ammount? |
| 02:51 | <@macdjord> | Note: These pointers will all be malloc()ed. This means, e.g., that the entropy in them will be mostly confined to the last n bits, where n is ~proportional to the number of strucs allocated. |

| 03:06 | < [R]> | CRC32? |
| 03:07 | < [R]> | Note: your suggestions makes the hash-size dependant on the arch. |
| 03:07 | < [R]> | I don't suggest that, unless you really want to be using intptr_t as your hash key type. |

| 03:11 | <@macdjord> | [R]: I'm going to have to reduce the hash key down to a length which will vary by the size of the hashtable, anway. |
| 03:11 | < [R]> | ? |
| 03:15 | <@macdjord> | [R]: Ultimately, the 'table' is an array which I index into. As more elements are added, I will need to resize this array. So, I need to convert my hash key - of size intptr_t - into an array index of variable size. |

| 12:32 | < Erik> | Is there a name for the anti-pattern where you can't remember what the format for something should be, so you invent your own, then the next guy doesn't see a standard format in the previous records, invents his own too, etc. and you wind up with umpteen ways of writing the same sort of data? |
| 12:32 | < Erik> | In this case US dates, UK dates, named-month-dates, "start of 3Q 2009" dates, etc. |

| 20:36 | < Julius> | Is it just me, or is this language terrible? |
| 20:36 | <&jerith> | Julius: It's right down there with PHP. |
| 20:37 | < Harlow> | What language Julius? |
| 20:37 | <&jerith> | The only reason I consider PHP worse than VB6 is that VB's flaws are obvious and PHP pretends to be a real language just long enough to suck people in. |
| 20:38 | < Julius> | Harlow: VBA in Excell. |
| 20:38 | < Julius> | -l |
| 20:38 | < Harlow> | In excell. |
| 20:38 | < Harlow> | lol |

| 20:40 | < Julius> | Why is that funny? |
| 20:41 | <@Tamber> | Didn't say what sort of laugh. So I'm imagining that as the nervous laugh of a man on the edge. |
| 20:45 | < Julius> | My boss has requested I make a timesheet template, specifically mandating real dates in the column headers. |
| 20:46 | < Julius> | So I'm thinking to have the first column header to be filled in by the user, with the start date, and the rest of the columns to be automatically filled out with consecutive days. |
| 20:46 | <&jerith> | Timesheets. ;_; |
| 20:48 | <&jerith> | (I have subverted two attempts at mandating timesheets at two different companies. In both cases, we merely accurately tracked the amount of time and effort spent tracking our time and effort.) |
| 20:49 | < Julius> | That would be a greater problem for us, since we do consulting. And the clients often require largely pointless stuff like this. |
| 20:51 | <&jerith> | Julius: So do we. |
| 20:51 | <&jerith> | Well, we're a marketing/advertising agency. |
| 20:51 | < Julius> | Welp, boss wants timesheets, I do timesheets. |
| 20:51 | | * jerith grins. |
| 20:52 | < Julius> | We do business transformation and leadership development. |
| 20:52 | < Julius> | Or somesuch buzzwords. |
| 20:52 | | * Julius waves hands vaguely. |
| 20:54 | <@macdjord> | For some reason, I read 'transformation' in the /matheatical/ sense there. |
| 20:54 | < Julius> | Oh, sure we fourierize companies all the time. |
| 20:56 | <@macdjord> | "Well, the good news is you only have to pay people every 8th and 23rd day. The bad news is you're making 1.2-3i million dollars per year now." |
| 20:56 | <@gnolam> | 8th and 23rd? Weird. |
| 20:57 | < Julius> | How much is that in BTC? |
| 20:57 | <@Tamber> | I think I'm supposed to do time-sheets, but I've stopped bothering. I spend more time updating my record of what task I've jumped to next, than actually doing any work, it seems. :D |
| 20:58 | <&jerith> | Tamber: Yes, that's why my subversions were successful. |
| 20:58 | <@Tamber> | hehehehe |
| 20:59 | <@Tamber> | "Well, you asked for it..." |

| 21:44 | < Julius> | Setting a date-type field to a null string value from VBA crashes Excel. |
| 21:59 | < Julius> | Passing a space does not. |
| 22:08 | <@Tarinaky> | Generally speaking complex properties in physical systems the 'real' portion describes the instantaneous value and the imaginary part describes the rate of change/derivative. |
| 22:08 | <@Tarinaky> | I am giving complex profit too much thought :/ |

| 22:09 | <@RchrdB> | Tarinaky, how does that work? |
| 22:09 | <@Tarinaky> | The answer is 'it depends on the maths' |
| 22:10 | <@Tarinaky> | For stuff that oscilates it follows straight from the Euler equation |
| 22:10 | <@Tarinaky> | (and the derivative thereof) |
| 22:11 | <@Tarinaky> | And "stuff that oscillates" is approximately half of all engineering problems :P |
| 22:11 | <@Tarinaky> | The other half being "stuff that doesn't oscillate" :P |
| 22:16 | < Julius> | OK. This works, reasonably well, I think. |
| 22:16 | | * Julius sends to boss and wonders how he'll break it. |
| 22:20 | <@Tarinaky> | In the case of Fourier transforms, the real component of the output is your energy function and the complex portion contains the bits of information needed to go back to the beginning with an inverse fourier transform... |
| 22:21 | <@Tarinaky> | Which for time->frequency tansforms is going to be ordering information. |
| 22:21 | <@Tarinaky> | (I'm a little shaky on Fourier stuffs on account of sucking at my job but whatever >.>) |
| 23:21 | < Harlow> | Anyone have any idea what would cause chrome in a new window to flat out not display things if its a javascript call to open a window?, popup blocker is off and adblock is not installed. |
| 23:23 | <@gnolam> | It was hot, the night you burned Chrome. |
| 23:23 | < Harlow> | gnolam any insight? |
| 23:24 | <@gnolam> | No idea. |
| 23:24 | < Harlow> | i mean i figured .focus() might do the trick, but no. Also when you try to resize the window it displays the content instantly. |
| 23:25 | <@Reiv> | Harlow: Check free porn websites |
| 23:25 | <@Reiv> | That'll tell you how to get a popup to happen no matter the circumstances~ |
| 23:27 | < Harlow> | Wow, I never thought of that good but its not that I think my problem stems from something else. |

| 23:28 | < Harlow> | If anyone wants to take a look at how I'm invoking this window. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'd appreciate a once-over. |
