00:07.55Tek0516Wormy_: I actually get that kind of moment quite a bit with the new Zelda. :P
00:11.22Wormy_I want to give it a go
00:15.06Tek0516I'm really enjoying it, I guess the problem for most people is needing a new console (since mostly probably lack a Wii U)

00:48.03DrodoEmpiregrr Madeon drop your new stuff already
00:48.33DrodoEmpireI'm hoping he'll maybe debut it in his new NA tour anyway
00:49.39MonetWell apparently it does have a chairwoman
00:50.35Monethttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-38951539 also this
00:53.04DrodoEmpireWell, with any luck Saudi Arabia will liberalise and westernise.
00:53.05MonetTimes are-a changin' slowly, sure, but give them time now we have heard stories of a plan.
00:53.38DrodoEmpireHopefully, their liberalisation will also prompt a change in their toxic foreign policy
00:54.17MonetMaybe.
00:54.37MonetOne thing is certain - they know they cant' rely on their oil forever so they are diversifying.
00:56.57MonetAnd it seems one case for diversification is improving the country's entertainment industry so it's citizens don't have to go abroad to have fun.
01:00.59Wormy_just found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifeless_Planet
01:02.25MonetI think I've heard of this
01:05.58DrodoEmpireYeah same
01:18.28Wormy_I've also been looking for games that have their own story generation in and found Facade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fa%C3%A7ade_(video_game)#Overview

01:57.43Tek0516The Star Trek: New Horizons mod for Stellaris is pretty cool
02:00.17Tek0516...of course when I finally load it I have to restart it to fix graphics settings. >.>

12:11.23dromThe way how Java works with arrays and failure to support generics
12:11.27drommakes me furious
12:11.31dromLike
12:11.39dromuse pointers or references, like, goddamnit
12:26.40Wormy_I was just reading in my book about the early machine language programmers, before assemblers were invented
12:26.51Wormy_They had the respect of chess grandmasters
12:27.47Wormy_And yet, they were quite masochist, many opposed the development of assemblers viewing them as a waste of resources and lacing precision.  They fought to stay relevant despite having to code thousands of lines of 0s and 1s
13:52.03Tek0516drom: Well my morning is filled with a moment of no idea how this code works, because from what I can tell it's somehow using a variable name that doesn't exist. O.o
13:54.33dromTek0516: meanwhile I am trying to make a priority queue where the contains() function can tell which of three different objects with a shared value is unique.
13:56.07drom(Binary heaps, all that stuff)
13:56.24dromWhere the three mentioned objects, one of them is a child of those two objects
13:58.09dromI could just throw this entire thing out through the window and use an O(n) algorithm
13:58.24drom(search through the entire array one by one)
14:33.08Tek0516Oh, finally found out how it works, it was just in a not very obvious spot. >.>
14:38.55dromHeh
14:39.09drom"Jump to Declaration" is your friend
14:42.44Tek0516Drom: Nah, the way this UI stuff works I can't. And the place/way it actually sets it is somewhere totally different
14:43.54dromDoes your computer have grep?
14:44.02dromOr any tool similar to that?
14:46.59Tek0516I doubt it.
14:47.19Tek0516This is an office computer after all. :P
14:51.36Tek0516Drom: Basically though it's a case where it looks like it was something binded at compile but is actually set in a different part at runtime.
14:54.13dromAnd you are not allowed to expose the source file to anyone outside your job
14:54.17dromyou poor soul :P
14:56.45Tek0516Probably not. :P
14:57.59dromThere are some kind of protocol (whose name I forgot) virtually every company has. It forbids you from doing that.
15:01.04Tek0516They even have two entirely separate networks for the computers you need to switch between.

15:15.58dromOh nice

16:39.29WormydroidI did some quantitative data analysis today, it was more fun that I thought it was
16:41.01WormydroidLooked at an agent based model of disease duffusion, one had to experiment with it, come up with a question and then a null hypothesis, then make descriptive and inferential statistics out of data exported ibto Excel

16:41.53DrodoEmpireHi
16:42.21WormydroidNever really did much quantitative analysis, made charts and stuff but this was about analysing it
16:44.28WormydroidNot sure whether the numbers support my alternative hypothesis, that will take some background reading
16:45.17WormydroidBut I probably won't bother since its informal workshop

17:09.45dromTek0516: Not sure how to call that device either. But the switch makes me want to call it a rotatary switch
17:10.31DrodoEmpireI just heard the public emergency address system on the TV
17:10.50DrodoEmpireMy blood pressure shot -right- the fuck up because I thought the nuclear war had started
17:10.53DrodoEmpireThanlkfully
17:10.56DrodoEmpireIt was a test
17:11.03WormydroidI'm getting a geeky obsession with electronic analog computers
17:11.32WormydroidProbably because of the Fallout games
17:12.56WormydroidAnyway turns out analog components could be useful if ypu want power rather thsn precision
17:13.07Tek0516DrodoEmpire: Yeah, it always freaks me out when they do the emergency alerts.
17:13.33DrodoEmpireAah my limbs still feel a bit tense >.<
17:14.29WormydroidForcing transistors into single states uses a lot of energy and this does not scale well
17:16.23WormydroidThere are claims that analogue computers could exceed limits of computability and complexity for many operations but most are rightfully dpubtful since analogue computers are still limited by resources
17:16.38Tek0516Though they also use the same alert system for AMBER alerts, I remember one day the T,V made those noises every few minutes when there was an update on one.
