| 06:14 | <&McMartin> | I had to give up WinAmp. For reasons I have not been able to determine -- and all the levels of mixer I can find all are useless here -- WinAmp's output is invariably about four times as soft as it's supposed to be. |

| 07:50 | <&[R]> | XMMS any better in that regard? |
| 08:06 | <&McMartin> | I was unaware that XMMS and WinAmp could run on the same OS |
| 08:06 | <&McMartin> | And it's clearly some kind of app or OS level issue because playing the identical files through VLC produces volumes on par with system sounds. |

| 08:23 | <@sshine> | McMartin, Winamp doesn't have some knob somewhere that can be turned up? I recall that it has a mixer window with a bunch of things I never learned to tweak properly. |
| 08:25 | <&[R]> | I was under the impression that's specifically what he was talking about |
| 08:25 | <&[R]> | Since that window is part of the default |
| 08:29 | <@sshine> | right. |
| 08:38 | <~Vorntastic> | Windows also has its own mixer that you can set per app volume but i think mcm knows about that one too |
| 12:53 | <@sshine> | heh |
| 12:55 | <@sshine> | today I did a refactor of a pow<T>(x: T, n: BigInt) function into pow<T>(x: T, n: u64), and my friend asked me to change it back. we're using it in exactly one place where the exponent is in the range of 4-7. also, running time for this algorithm blows up from ~10 seconds to ~30 minutes going from 4 to 7. I'd like to know when a u64 is not enough. :P |

| 14:12 | <@sshine> | I feel like in some regard I have become worse at programming; I am *much* worse than what I used to at working without type errors. I tried in 2021 writing PHP, and I made a lot of mistakes that I didn't know how to navigate any more. well, in a sense I did know that I could run the application in all possible (or even a representative set of) states, but I felt like: isn't that what I have a computer for? |
| 14:26 | <&[R]> | I feel the shift between duck-typed and strongly-typed languages is always going to be fairly heavy mentally |
| 14:26 | <&[R]> | Just have to power through it |

| 20:10 | <&ToxicFrog> | The Angle Bracket, a last-tag-standing HTML competition, now with results and colour commentary: https://theanglebracket.com/ |
| 20:18 | <&Reiver> | ... I am heartbroken that they broke the ability to make a bracket out of them |
| 20:18 | <&Reiver> | I also don't get it |
| 20:18 | <&Reiver> | Yeah, you ideally seed it |
| 20:18 | <&Reiver> | But it doesn't *really* matter if don't, beyond having a possibly letdown showdown |
| 20:18 | <&Reiver> | The randomisation in its stead seems... odd |
| 20:40 | <&ToxicFrog> | What do you mean? |
| 20:43 | <&Reiver> | I mean |
| 20:43 | <&Reiver> | You can run an unseeded bracket |
| 20:43 | <&Reiver> | You might have The Strongest Contenders show up early ofc |
| 20:44 | <&Reiver> | (Although if you know how close the scores are in each step you now know For Next Time based on who won etc) |
| 20:44 | <&Reiver> | But brackets are so pretty why would you break them ;_; |
| 20:50 | <&Reiver> | that all said |
| 20:50 | <&Reiver> | boy, is my HTML outta date |
| 20:50 | <&Reiver> | What is a 'semantic tag' anyways |
| 20:59 | <&ToxicFrog> | I have no idea what you mean by "run an unseeded bracket" here |
| 20:59 | <&ToxicFrog> | Like, you have to decide which tags are up against each other in each round somehow |
| 20:59 | <&ToxicFrog> | Author chose to do it randomly rather than alphabetically or whatever |
| 21:00 | <&ToxicFrog> | Re "semantic tag", that's a tag that denotes the meaning of some part of the part without any particular opinion about how it should be rendered |
| 21:00 | <&ToxicFrog> | E.g. `<i>` (italics) is not a semantic tag, it's a typesetting widget -- this text should be in italic face. `<em>` is a semantic tag: this text should be emphasized in some manner, and it's up to the browser and/or CSS author to decide what sort of emphasis is appropriate. |
| 21:02 | <&ToxicFrog> | OG HTML was mostly typesetting controls. Modern HTML is pushing hard for purely semantic markup with decisions about what appearance corresponds to which semantics delegated to CSS. |
| 21:02 | <@ErikMesoy> | Seeded tournament brackets are those which try to arrange strongest and weakest contenders in a given pattern. |
| 21:04 | <@ErikMesoy> | Usually, AFAIK, this is trying to make the strongest meet each other late in the competition so that the finals will be impressive, and "second place" (finals loser) is more likely to be the second strongest rather than a middle-of-the-pack contender that only met weaker players until then. |
