<&Reiver>
So
01:53
<&Reiver>
I have a day free
01:53
<&Reiver>
Do I take up modeling or writing javascript?
01:53
<&McMartin>
"How do you look in a muscle shirt?"
01:56
<&Reiver>
wut
01:56
<&Reiver>
... oh
01:56 * Reiver has McMartin dragged out behind the chemical sheds and shot.
01:57
<&Reiver>
But hey, serious question anyway
01:57
< Azash>
Well, one involves a rigorous regime of tormenting yourself every day, doing things your body and mind were either not meant to do or just can't initially cope with, appealing to people with a regime that emphasizes aesthetics while costing function, and in the end contributing nothing lasting to society
01:57
< Azash>
THe other involves posing for pictures
01:57
<&Reiver>
I've had three days of holiday and have unexpectedly found myself with the fourth one free, and enough intrinsic motivation to actually attempt to Learn Something.
01:58
<&Reiver>
I dare not let the moment slip, and my two Grand Projects are a nosecone for KSP, or drawing hexagons and a game on top in js
01:58
<@Alek>
I modeled once.
01:58
<@Alek>
sat a few nights for a portrait class.
02:03
<&Reiver>
Yes, you're the third person to be Hilarious
02:03 * Reiver wanders off to try the KSP channels instead.
02:11
<@ErikMesoy>
Reiver: Javascript.
02:12
<@ErikMesoy>
Mostly because I saw the Destroy All Software talk on the birth and death of javascript recently.

<&Reiver>
birth and death?
02:20
<&Reiver>
I didn't know it was a ghost now :p
02:20
<@ErikMesoy>
The talk is written from the perspective of 2035. :p

02:21
<&Reiver>
OK then
02:23 * McMartin is rocking some Java silliness, may have a Thing to upload soon
02:23
<&McMartin>
Basically doing a visual test for what I want to do as a pixel shader so as to Do The Pixel Shading Thing
02:25
<&McMartin>
But it's feeling kind of 90s over here right now
02:36
<&McMartin>
Warning: Class C Memetic toxin: https://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~mcmartin/screenshots/time_for_klax.gif
02:37
<&Reiver>
what have you done
02:37
<&McMartin>
what indeed
02:37
<&McMartin>
It's three moire pattern cells with additive RGB
02:37
<&McMartin>
Which is then spun in a circle
02:38
<&McMartin>
That is... 70 lines of Java to produce the frames and then a call to imagemagick to actually stitch them together
02:39
<&McMartin>
The logic is intentionally dumb because the hope was to write it as if I were writing a pixel shader
02:40
<&McMartin>
(This was a popular 90s effect because a number of the 16-bit machines apparently let you scroll the red, green, and blue parts of an image independently, so you'd draw a bunch of concentric white circles, disassociate the colorplanes, and go to town)
02:40
<&Reiver>
O.o
02:41
<&McMartin>
(I don't even know, man, you've seen what I do to 8-bits and the 16-bit world is terrifying and bizarre)
02:52
<&McMartin>
The even more terrifying bit is that you can almost certainly create this image with nothing but one really huge imagemagick command
03:04
< Azash>
Reminds me of the imagemagick website
03:05
< Azash>
"Look at this clip-art looking thing!" *image* "It's easy to create, just do this:" *2000-character imagemagick command*
03:06
<~Vornicus>
imagemagick is impressively powerful but jesus the documentation blows
03:21
< Azash>
I think it was imagemagick that I actually got immensely frustrated with not too long ago, because it doesn't offer a pure source download anymore
03:21
< Azash>
I think it was imagemagick at least
03:22
< Azash>
I had to deal with a broken imagemagick setup on a box with a static binary and getting it probably took five years off my life
04:19
<&Reiver>
... or nevermind after all.
04:19
<&Reiver>
My venerable four year old asus has now lost five keys on the keyboard
04:19
<&Reiver>
So I'll leave this one to my wife to use this afternoon on the CV. I'll, uh, go read a book.
04:20
<&Reiver>
(Lost as in 'they no longer respond when pushed'. The USB ports appear to be on the fritz as well. End times indeed.)

Azash: huh? http://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz - pure source tarball.

You might've had problems with dependencies, or building it on windows I guess...

Possibly GraphicMagick (the fork)?

<@ErikMesoy>
Can you give an example of what you would have put in?
22:17
<&McMartin>
Haskell or ML would be the obvious choices
22:18
<@ErikMesoy>
I mean a card, not a language.
22:20
<&jerith>
Basically the same as the other cards have.
22:20
<&jerith>
Well, the same kind of "code".
