| 02:52 | <@sshine> | ha |
| 02:52 | <@sshine> | I like our sysadmin |
| 02:52 | <@sshine> | whenever he broadcasts a message to the company, it has some super weird joke in it |
| 03:28 | <@sshine> | on a network share having been reset, "If you're on Windows, you may have to restart the computer, as usual. If you're on Mac, see attached poem. If you're running Linux, it's your own fault. If you're running Linux on a Mac, I'm interested in a date." |
| 03:29 | < Kizor> | pfffft |
| 03:29 | < Kizor> | Well done. |
| 03:32 | <@sshine> | another one, related to a periodic shutdown, "Many have wondered what it is we really do on these occasion. In the spirit of Copenhagen Culture Night, we have decided to hold an open workshop so you can take part in the festivity. Our base is on the 4th floor, and as always, the party starts Wednesday 6PM." |
| 03:33 | <@sshine> | I think they're really just doing a global filesystem backup. |
| 03:34 | <@Reiv> | Company full of tech-heads, right? |
| 03:37 | <@sshine> | ~20 programmers out of 300 people, so the joke goes out to a lot of non-techs. :) |
| 03:40 | <@Reiv> | Brave. |
| 03:40 | <@Reiv> | But I guess people might get used to it |
| 03:42 | <@sshine> | yes, I think he's worked here for 14 years. |
| 03:44 | <@sshine> | they announced a christmas raffle and it discouraged cheating, and I thought "what if the optimal cheating strategy, assuming everyone also cheats optimally, is a Nash equilibrium", because I thought it'd be fun to disclaim that you don't even need to cheat because if everyone does that, we'll end up playing fairly. |
| 03:45 | <@sshine> | but I've realized that while this works as a fun gimmick in our dept., people outside think you're a smartass when your emails contain equations. |
| 03:46 | <@sshine> | the danger of posting anything to a large audience is making it applicable for everyone. :) |

| 10:15 | <@TheWatcher> | Trying to think up a name for a bot user that can automatically grant extensions for students in one of our systems |
| 10:16 | <@TheWatcher> | So very, very, very tempted to call it 'pfizer' |
| 10:18 | <&[R]> | Like extensions to deadlines for assignments? |
| 10:18 | <@TheWatcher> | Yes |
| 10:19 | <&[R]> | TimeTurner? |
| 10:21 | <@TheWatcher> | I just went with 'extender' *shrug* |
| 10:36 | < catalyst> | oh my |
| 10:36 | <&jeroud> | Is this a customer-visible name? |
| 10:37 | <@TheWatcher> | No |
| 10:38 | <&jeroud> | Paramedic. (Pushes back the deadline.) |

| 13:19 | <@gnolam> | Well that explains why everything was so wonky... |
| 13:20 | <~Vorntastic> | ;_; |
| 13:21 | <@gnolam> | Have a bunch of legacy 20 nm data that needs to be manipulated with a bunch of 10 nm data. Which means that, depending on setting, you either upsample the old data or downsample the new data. |
| 13:22 | <@gnolam> | Well. It turns out that the quality of the calculations improves a lot when you *actually pass the converted data* instead of throwing it away and passing the unconverted data... |

| 13:49 | < ErikMesoy> | It's worker-to-position matching time for next year's assignments here at the company, and maaaaaan, some of these positions we're looking at renting people to just look like someone piled together the first ten buzzwords they saw. |
| 13:51 | < ErikMesoy> | "BlahBlahCo is looking for a front end developer to modernise services and develop new ones directed towards private customers, corporate customers and our own employees." Blah blah blah digital services blah blah agile development blah deployment component library blah blah. "Consultants for this assignment are expected to have the following qualifications..." |
| 13:52 | < ErikMesoy> | "React and Redux; EcmaScript 6 and 7 with Babel; Flow or TypeScript; HTML 5, CSS, Webpack; REST API; Git, SVN; web security; accessibility. Additional, it is a bonus if you have experience with: Docker, OpenShift, Java with Spring." |
| 13:55 | < ErikMesoy> | The next ad over is for a position gluing together Java and .NET, where they want applicants who have experience with Java, .NET (obviously), Javonet, BLAISE, C#, REST, SOAP, microservices, Java 8 (listed separately from Java), Gradle, Spring Boot, Flyway, H2, MySQL. |
| 13:58 | < ErikMesoy> | My manager suggests I apply a bullshit discount factor of about 40%, i.e. apply for the position if I have experience with 60% of these words. |
| 14:01 | <&[R]> | Fairly good advice |
| 14:19 | <&jeroud> | Probably also worth skilling up on some of the things you don't know much about. |

| 23:30 | | * TheWatcher eyes this, ponders rotation rate easing |
| 23:50 | <&Derakon> | Having some trouble with my ballistic travel time calculations, would appreciate some help. |
| 23:50 | <&Derakon> | I have guns with a set muzzle velocity, firing angle, difference (in altitude) from target, and of course gravity. No air resistance. |
| 23:51 | <&Derakon> | If I convert the muzzle velocity into v * sin(theta) I can do a 1D equation of motion. height = v * t + 1/2 * g * t^2 |
| 23:51 | <&Derakon> | To get travel time then, I worked that out to t = (-v +- sqrt(v^2 + 2gh)) / g |
| 23:52 | <&Derakon> | Where I'm running into trouble is...the target may be above or below the gun. |
| 23:52 | <&Derakon> | I'm trying to figure out what adjustments to do to the formula. |
| 23:52 | <&Derakon> | If target is above and we're shooting down, throw an exception. |
| 23:53 | <~Vornicus> | aha |
| 23:53 | <~Vornicus> | okay one moment |
| 23:53 | <&Derakon> | In every other combination we should be able to determine if a sign needs to be flipped and which of the +- to take, but my brain is not helping me determine this. |
| 23:55 | <~Vornicus> | okay problem: with muzzle velocity and firing angle locked you don't have any leeway at all: only things that actually land on the arc will be targetable |
| 23:55 | <&Derakon> | Yes, we're assuming that we've previously come up with a valid firing solution. |
| 23:56 | <&Derakon> | This is just "how long will it take to get there". |
| 23:56 | <~Vornicus> | consider horizontal range; v * cos(theta) = ground speed, then range / ground speed = time |
| 23:57 | <&Derakon> | ... |
| 23:57 | <&Derakon> | Motherfucker, thank you. |
| 23:57 | <&Derakon> | That is waaaaaaay simpler. |
