| 02:51 | <&Reiver> | ToxicFrog: Oh dear. Is this a 'It will recover in time' or a 'welp, broke now'? |
| 03:11 | <&ToxicFrog> | Reiver: the former. |
| 03:11 | | * Reiver nods |
| 03:12 | <&ToxicFrog> | Even if you completely lose all your money, have somehow managed to drain all the servers you can hack, and have no hacknet nodes, you can always get a job in the city and leave that idling for a bit. |
| 03:12 | <&Reiver> | LOL |
| 03:13 | <&Reiver> | Well, fair enough then :) |
| 03:13 | <&Reiver> | I love that the failure mode is "Go get a job", though |
| 03:38 | <&ToxicFrog> | Ok, I finally have my master control program up and running! |
| 03:38 | <&ToxicFrog> | It scans for rootable and hackable systems; every rootable system has a worker automatically installed on it. |
| 03:38 | <&ToxicFrog> | Hackable systems are prioritized based on what needs to be done to them and workers are assigned to them accordingly. |
| 03:38 | <&ToxicFrog> | I do wonder if I should set some upper bound on the number of workers I can have tied up in weaken(), though. |
| 03:39 | <&ToxicFrog> | At the moment all of them are trying to weaken() the same very high-level server and most of them won't even return for another work assignment for half an hour. |
| 03:40 | <&Reiver> | Perhaps a percentage? |
| 03:40 | <&Reiver> | Or scan for, eg, half a dozen and target the softest? |
| 03:41 | <&ToxicFrog> | The current behaviour is that if any servers need to be weaken()ed it prioritizes that first, since that gives the best long-term results |
| 03:41 | <&ToxicFrog> | (since every weaken() makes subsequent runs of hacking tools against that server faster) |
| 03:41 | <&ToxicFrog> | But the unforseen problem here is that if a really hard target shows up, the entire swarm will get tied up working on it and income from the swarm drops to 0 until they're done. |
| 03:42 | <&ToxicFrog> | I don't want to set a cap on what percentage of the swarm can be weaken()ing because there are legitimate uses for having all of them doing that, but I may set a limit on how many can be targeting the same server at once. |
| 03:43 | <&Reiver> | Oh, I meant "No more than X% should target one server at a time" |
| 03:43 | <&Reiver> | Also, is it a swarm or a botnet?~ |
| 03:45 | <&ToxicFrog> | It's totally a botnet |

| 17:29 | | * Vornicus examines the legacy vornonoi code with references, tries to figure out why he needed certain checks |
| 17:31 | <~Vornicus> | So - I have a thing that checks whether an edge needs correction. Basically it has to check whether the "far" point is inside the circumcircle of the other three. ...for some reason, I have here that I am checking convexity first. |
| 17:32 | <~Vornicus> | But if the quadrilateral is not convex, then either 1. the far point is outside of the circumcircle naturally, or 2. we've lost the handedness invariant somewhere |
| 17:37 | <~Vornicus> | So either 1. this is a test that never succeeds or 2. this is dealing with a freaky edge case involving the points at infinity. |
| 17:37 | <~Vornicus> | But I don't have anything beyond "-- I need to check whether the quadrilateral is convex. If not, then the edge is unavoidably legal! |

| 23:22 | <&ToxicFrog> | "what if we had coroutines, but every function that can (transitively) ever call a coroutine needs to be annotated as such, and every call of such a function also needs to be annotated in ways that restrict where, syntactically, you can call them" |
| 23:22 | <&ToxicFrog> | (I realize that they aren't coroutines as such, but from a programmer's perspective they can be treated as if they were apart from the annotations) |
