Argh this program is terrible
04:50
<&McMartin>
And for some reason my old compiled version doesn't work
04:50 * McMartin shrugs, goes off to play videogames instead

<@celticminstrel>
Heh.
05:16
<&McMartin>
In both cases the code is so small it fits on a screen; I'm a little vexed because I'm not sure which part is actually failing.

< symbol>
My logarithms are not behaving as expected.
05:19
<&McMartin>
Is your artillery missing?
05:19
<&McMartin>
Are you using base 2 or 10 instead of e, or vice versa?
05:19
< symbol>
As far as I can tell I am explicitly using base 10.
05:19
<&McMartin>
What's the language?
05:20
< symbol>
But I am noodling around in lua for the first time, so maybe I have made a silly error.
05:20
< symbol>
The line is basically x = math.log(n, 10)
05:20
<&McMartin>
smoke test first, I guess: is log10(100) 2?
05:21
< symbol>
I tested log(10, 10) and got 2.something.
05:21
< symbol>
Hence why I am here saying it's not behaving as expected.
05:21
<&McMartin>
That means it's probably ln.
05:22
<&McMartin>
10 = e^2.302585092994046
05:22
<&McMartin>
if you want log 10 from log e, log_10(x) = log_e(x) / log_e(10).
05:23
< symbol>
Okay, thanks. I can convert then.
05:23
<&McMartin>
From the lua-users wiki: "math.exp(myval) returns e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to the power myval. math.log() returns the inverse of this. math.exp(1) returns e."
05:23
<&McMartin>
So yeah, lua's math.log is in fact ln.
05:23
< symbol>
Yeah, I know lua defaults to ln.
05:23
< symbol>
But the function /says/ it takes an optional base argument.
05:24
< symbol>
So I had assumed that by providing that I could use log_10 directly.
05:24
<&McMartin>
That's... actually not in this page I'm looking at, but okay
05:24
<&McMartin>
I know Lua tends to alter itself drastically across even minor revisions.
05:24
< symbol>
Ah, maybe I'm looking at something for a different version then.
05:24 * symbol goes to check version numbers.
05:25 Derakon is now known as Derakon[AFK]
05:26
< symbol>
But yeah, I was looking at https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#3.4.1 which states: "math.log (x [, base])
05:26
< symbol>
Returns the logarithm of x in the given base. The default for base is e (so that the function returns the natural logarithm of x)."
05:27
< symbol>
Except, having checked, I'm actually using v5.1
05:27
< symbol>
lol, alright, I guess that'll do it!
05:29
< Vornlicious>
Fortunately base change isn't hard: log_b(x) = log(x)/log(b)
05:31
< symbol>
There we go! Now it's doing what it's supposed to!
05:31
< symbol>
Thank you!
05:54 celticminstrel is now known as celmin|sleep
05:58
< symbol>
Okay, log(a/b) is the same as log(a) - log(b), right? Or am I having a confusion?
06:01
<&McMartin>
That's correct, though I usually think of it as log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)
06:01
< symbol>
Fair.
06:04
< symbol>
Not sure why the two are giving me different answers then. I'm going to assume for now that I've typo'd something somewhere and am too tired to see it right now.
06:05
< symbol>
Gonna try to get some sleep and come back to this in the morning.
06:05
< symbol>
Thanks again. :)

Apps which take up several times more CPU when minimized. Interesting.

Possible causes: no longer gpu-io bound

I told Alex I think he found a bug in Megabyte Punch
13:12
<&ToxicFrog>
He tells me "nooooo, not a bug! I found a spider!"
13:14
< Vornlicious>
Hahaha
13:14
< Vornlicious>
What was the bug
13:16
<&ToxicFrog>
If you beat the game and then go replay an earlier level using level select, the state of the hub resets to the "red lighting with ocasional earthquakes" state it normally has just before the final level and bossfight
13:16
<&ToxicFrog>
This appears to happen no matter which level you replayed

[R], Wow. And it's guaranteed to have at least an integer number of bugs.

Yeah

It's actually FOSS code, I could post the whole thing if peeps are curious
