McMartin: I must assume that this is basically SpaceChem with a greater emphasis on spatial motions?
03:13
<&McMartin>
Looks to me like you don't have the free-wheeling waldoes, and instead have fixed pusher/shover devices, which would make it more like Infinifactory.

Today in perhaps not really shocking news: it turns out aspect correction and display-centering code is way simpler when (0,0) is in the middle of the window instead of in a corner
04:31
< Vornicus>
no way
04:32
<&McMartin>
inorite
04:43
<&McMartin>
In less immediately obvious news: it turns out to not be helpful to account for the actual dimensions of the viewport when aspect-correcting; by the time you work through it all only the aspect ratios of the viewport and canvas matter.
04:43
<&McMartin>
That, uh
04:43
<&McMartin>
Certainly was not true in the framebuffer case
04:44 * McMartin has discovered that apparently Cairo's "2D hardware acceleration of rendering operations" was more aspirational than actual across the board, is looking into just doing the same things with OpenGL now.
04:50
<&McMartin>
Which is nice, because if the only transform I need is scale - and that's what comes out of this - then in the old fixed pipeline I actually can just use the identity for the perspective matrix... and in the modern pipeline I can just do a component-wise vector multiply instead of bothering with a full transform matrix.

06:28 * McMartin fires up TIS-100 again, promptly loses an hour and a half

So I've now implemented most of the standard C++ containers to spec
15:16 Jessikat` is now known as Jessikat
15:16
< Jessikat>
Can I consider myself a competent programmer yet
15:17
< AverageJoe>
only after you've completed ur own memory manager without ripping off doug
15:20
< Jessikat>
Oh I wrote one of those in uni
15:21
< AverageJoe>
then you are compotent
15:24
<@TheWatcher>
Have you trained under Donald Knuth in his Mountain Hideaway?~
15:26
< Jessikat>
Probably not. Mostly I listen to Alexandrescu, goddess save us all
15:26
< Jessikat>
(actually I'm a much more widely competent programmer thanks to a single statement you made like two years ago, McMartin)
15:27
< Jessikat>
(I realise I'm not taking to him directly but this'll confuse him)
15:27

(I'm so tired)

Even if I made the statement, you did all the work and walked the path
17:25
<&McMartin>
(What was it? I talk a lot)
17:30
< Jessikat>
You said I should look at languages other than C++
17:31
< AverageJoe>
have you tried functional stuff?
17:31
< AverageJoe>
F# for example
17:32
<&McMartin>
She's been pretty agressive in the space
17:38
< AverageJoe>
i guess there's always the final frontier. pick a flavor of assembly and dive right in.
17:39
< AverageJoe>
a DSP or sound player interface for the dreamcast or game turbographix
17:40
< AverageJoe>
some off beat system no one uses
17:40
<&McMartin>
I think you're missing the part where this was two years ago, she started out as a game develper, and spent two years learning about and falling in love with the more high-level computation models

<&jerith>
I have an 'awesome' label in my work email account that I apply to mails that make me happy when I read them.
19:16
<&jerith>
Then when I'm feeling miserable or useless or underappreciated, I can go back and look at them.
19:17
< Jessikat>
I just feel useless right now
19:17
< Jessikat>
But I don't really want to rant about it

I added that label to a new email today. My intern from months ago wrote to thank me for getting him to do some pretty terrible openstack research and prototyping, because it turns out he needed something a lot like that for his thesis and he could just reuse what he'd already done.
19:19
<@Tamber>

that's awesome, jerith
