01:46 * McMartin finishes all the optional challenges in TIS-100, to go with finishing all the optional challenges in SpaceChem.
01:09
<@celticminstrel>
I still need to finish SpaceChem.
01:11
< ToxicFrog>
Likewise.
01:12
<&McMartin>
Last I checked, TF, you were still locked in a mortal struggle with BA SHOGTH, THE CONTROLLER
01:13
<&McMartin>
My revisit was mostly completing or optimizing solutions in the previous world
01:13
<&McMartin>
With a final optimization problem on the subsequent one
01:13
<&McMartin>
Which was kind of interesting because I needed to shave off about 300 cycles and wound up finding a tweak that saved more like 2,000
01:14
<&McMartin>
I think that has identified how exactly I was trading reactor time for programmer time: incredibly aggressive synchronization.

attn Voricus: I am attempting to characterize the surface plot whose display has driven all my crazed DOS shenanigans these past two weeks
21:56
<&McMartin>
At the moment my best name is "a trilby that just headbutted a railroid spike"
21:56
<&McMartin>
(The original source code called it the "hat" function.)
21:57
<&McMartin>
My question is more: it's still called graphing a function when it's a surface, right?
21:57
<@celticminstrel>
You misspelled his name, that might not help.
21:58
<&McMartin>
oops, so I did. Re-attn Vornicus, lines above
21:58
< Vash>
He's not here.
21:58
< Vash>
He's napping. Has been for a while now.
21:58
<@celticminstrel>
He's "here".
21:58
< Vash>
Well, yes
21:58
<&McMartin>
Yeah, this isn't exactly super-high importance, he can find it in backscroll while I'm afk~
21:58
<@Tamber>
But not all here~
21:58
< Vash>
Just saying
21:59
< Vash>
'kay
22:06
<&McMartin>
(Once I get my results better organized, I'm going to ask him to double-check some of my mathematics to make sure I don't mess it up, but that's not quite ready yet)
22:09
< ToxicFrog>
McMartin: "surface" as in a function mapping (x,y) => z rather than just x => y?
22:09
<&McMartin>
x, z => y, as it happens
22:09
<&McMartin>
But yeah
22:10
<&McMartin>
Then there will be the bit where I attempt to deduce what the actual f(x,z) *is* from a 40-line, 35-year-old BASIC program
22:10
<&McMartin>
That's the part where I'll really want his help for the sanity check
22:10
<&McMartin>
... and that's assuming it even is x, z and not, say, r, theta
22:33
<~Vornicus>
McM: yeah
22:36
<~Vornicus>
A function maps one set to another. You can have number -> number (drawing for instance a sine wave), ordered pair -> number (for instance a heightfield), number -> ordered pair (for instance a parametric curve), etc etc etc
22:37
<~Vornicus>
Graphing a function can take on a great many forms.

Vash, how's things been?
23:05
< Vash>
Going.

Oops, running out of power
