<&Derakon>
My terrain generator has a problem. I know, I'll use regular expressions. Now my terrain generator has uncountably many problems.
04:54
<&Derakon>
Seriously though, I'm contemplating writing a terrain pattern matcher that searches a given region for specific terrain configurations and replaces them with other configurations.

Stuff like, "if there's a platform sticking straight horizontally out of a wall, soften the underside angle the platform makes with the wall by adding some additional wall tiles".

09:41 * TheWatcher eyes work, where some people are distinctly discombobulated by the fact that we have several students with no surname
09:41
<@TheWatcher>
Aaah, names.
09:43
<@TheWatcher>
And nobody believed me when I told them that this is exactly why I have a single text field storing utf8 for 'name'. No surname, forename, whateverthefuckname stuff. But oooh, no, we need to be able to do surnames!
10:02
<@himi>
That sounds nice

<@himi>
My full name is "Simon Joseph John Fowler"
10:02
<@himi>
My degree has "Simon Joseph Fowler" on it
10:03
<@himi>
As does all my work paperwork and the like
10:03
<@himi>
The degree I can /almost/ forgive, since it was "back in the day", before computers had, like, megabytes of memory and stuff
10:03
<@himi>
But /now/?

TW: "Don't be silly, everyone has a surname!"?
17:27
<@Tamber>
Or "Don't be silly, everyone has a name made out of multiple parts that are easily separated by breaking at the spaces"~

I feel a meme image coming on. [dim brain] Everyone has a surname. [small brain] Everyone has a space-separable name. [normal brain] Everyone has a name that fits in ASCII. [glowing brain] Everyone has a name that fits in Unicode. [enlightened brain] Everyone has a name that can be rendered graphically. [scifi brain] Everyone has a name.

<@Alek>
sounds unlikely. probably a burnt-in pixel instead, permanently forced into the blue color and not the other 2, when powered.
21:07
<@Alek>
at least I've heard of that happening.

<@ErikMesoy>
"It of course does not, because anything someone tells you is their name is — by definition — an appropriate identifier for them." <-- BULLSHIT.
22:53
<@ErikMesoy>
You can /sort/ of patch this by inserting "in good faith" so that you don't get trolls telling you that their name is (breaks into ten-minute musical number).
22:54
<@ErikMesoy>
Which still leaves you with sufficiently advanced eccentricity being indistinguishable from trolling.
22:56
<@ErikMesoy>
Proposal for additional misconception to add to the list: "People's names are not elaborate works of troll-art." I'd see if the comments had posted this already, but the article refers to the comments while seemingly not having any comments. Site move?
23:06
<@Tamber>
probably on disqus or something, that's all javascript-y and from another domain
23:06
<&McMartin>
Yeah, I've seen that article before
23:06
<&McMartin>
The conclusion it accidentally reaches is "this is not a problem worth solving. You can set whatever restrictions you want because *somebody*'s going to be excluded anyway."
23:09
<@Alek>
pretty much

<@Alek>
Look at Spanish names.
