00:02:58 <oerjan> there's a new irritating near-ultrasound in my room and it disappears when i turn off the laptop :(
00:03:54 <itidus20> so its not your laptop but your laptop makes it happen?
00:04:21 <oerjan> it
00:04:31 <oerjan> 's difficult to pinpoint the sound
00:04:35 <itidus20> hmm
00:05:23 <itidus20> use your tricorder
00:05:31 <oerjan> wat :P
00:06:45 <itidus20> hmm ok ok .. maybe what you need is a microphone which can detect this noise
00:07:06 -!- copumpkin has changed nick to imsaguy.
00:07:07 <Jafet> Fry some stereocilia
00:07:10 -!- imsaguy has changed nick to copumpkin.
00:07:33 <itidus20> and the microphone needs a way to be tracked within space
00:07:54 <itidus20> so that you can sweep the microphone around the room and create a map of the noise levels
00:09:50 <oerjan> perhaps the sound has always been there, and i just now noticed it...
00:09:56 <itidus20> files the issue as resolved on redmine
00:10:29 <itidus20> oerjan: highly unlikely
00:10:38 <oerjan> er perhaps it's resonating with something in the room of the new housemate
00:10:44 <oerjan> *or
00:10:49 <itidus20> oerjan: hmmmmm i will say this much
00:11:12 <itidus20> my mum's radio... occasionally it has some specific interference
00:11:47 <itidus20> sounds almost like a decreasing frequency like pee-eooooOOOOOOOOOWWWW
00:12:08 <itidus20> my onomatopoeia probably doesn't help
00:13:17 <oerjan> this sound resembles slightly the sound of glasses vibrating while they touch, but much weaker (and i checked the kitchen)
00:13:33 <itidus20> im so bad at conversation
00:14:01 <itidus20> anyway.. it seems that the revealed facts are 1) that it correlates with the on-ness of your laptop
00:14:16 <oerjan> and the strength changes greatly when i turn my head
00:14:45 <itidus20> but its not actually from your laptop right?
00:14:55 <itidus20> like if you took your laptop outside it would go away
00:14:55 <oerjan> i cannot tell for sure
00:15:04 <itidus20> etc
00:15:24 <itidus20> hmm
00:15:32 <oerjan> it _does_ seem strongest next to the fan, although the usual fan sound overwhelms it
00:16:22 <itidus20> if you want to eavesdrop on walls, what i saw on tv is that the best solution is a thin paper cup
00:16:32 <oerjan> heh
00:16:34 <itidus20> or something of that sort
00:19:01 <itidus20> your theory about housemate's room sounds the best
00:20:05 <oerjan> except it doesn't actually get stronger toward that wall
00:21:48 <itidus20> i think you should try standing on different sides of doors, with the laptop in different locations
00:21:54 <oerjan> i lifted it and now it's started that clicking it sometimes does again
00:22:02 <oerjan> heh
00:22:18 <itidus20> it's almost like a game of clue/cluedo
00:28:29 <Sgeo> What's the difference between Clue and Cluedo
00:28:37 <Sgeo> Also, people here know about Magic the Gathering being TC?
00:28:55 <Jafet> zzo does, but I don't.
00:29:08 <pikhq> Sgeo: I mentioned it earlier today.
00:29:26 <pikhq> Sgeo: Clue is the US name for Cluedo, IIRC.
00:33:54 <itidus20> i don't percieve cluedo as entertaining
00:37:24 <itidus20> basically any game which ends up being about finding the most efficient algorithm, i find that whole view of gameplay very lifeless
00:38:06 <pikhq> You must hate chess.
00:38:14 <Sgeo> I assume itidus20 wouldn't like BFJoust
00:38:24 <Sgeo> (Although I wouldn't call that "finding an efficient algorithm"
00:40:42 <itidus20> so when a baseball player hits a homerun, i do like the fact that they run around the bases even though the other team can't do anything to them
00:42:50 -!- Jafet has quit (Quit: Leaving.).
00:44:13 -!- Nisstyre has joined.
00:46:19 <itidus20> i think growing up i always expected games to have more to them
00:46:41 <itidus20> considering how big a part they are of international culture and all
00:48:20 <itidus20> the universe itself dissapointed me in regards to games
00:48:41 <itidus20> i guess similarly to the way that in the end matter turned out to be just atoms
00:49:02 <itidus20> or maybe particles is the word
00:50:44 <itidus20> memories and emotions turned out to be neurons
00:51:15 <itidus20> everything in this way is dull and dissapointing
00:51:38 <pikhq> Whaddya mean, disappointing?
00:51:53 <pikhq> Would you prefer a universe run by Ancient Greek physics?
00:56:33 <itidus20> humm.. brb making coffee
00:58:08 <tswett> Perhaps a universe that doesn't actually behave in any way.
01:04:46 <itidus20> the ramblings of a depressed anxiouser
01:05:03 <itidus20> i was getting off topic though
01:05:07 * oerjan wonders if itidus20 would like nomic
01:05:13 <itidus20> the point is games do behave in a specific way
01:05:27 <itidus20> and humm
01:05:42 <itidus20> hummm
01:05:57 <itidus20> oerjan: the secret is that nothing needs to change except my point of view
01:06:07 <oerjan> it's very much not about finding an efficient algorithm :)
01:06:31 <oerjan> unless you happen to find a scam that requires one, of course
01:07:28 <itidus20> i don't think i hate chess itself, but more struggle with multiplayer games
01:07:34 <oerjan> <itidus20> oerjan: the secret is that nothing needs to change except my point of view <-- ah i've tried that. and then my body starts protesting.
01:07:45 <itidus20> lol
01:07:58 <Sgeo> itidus20, try Game of Life. It's a 0 player game!
01:08:00 <oerjan> or something unbelievably irritating happens that destroys my patience to keep the change
01:08:27 <oerjan> it's very nice the first minutes, however.
01:08:33 <itidus20> i am unable to detach from real life while playing multiplayer games
01:09:00 <oerjan> presumably i'm doing it wrong somehow.
01:09:51 <itidus20> however there is something written somewhere about some important person who would lose his temper if he lost at chess
01:09:57 <oerjan> itidus20: ah there's a paradox then - single-player games have even more fixed rules (unless you're just making things up)
01:10:25 <itidus20> so my issue isn't even with the games, but with the socializing
01:10:26 <oerjan> and so become even more about perfecting your algorithm
01:11:14 <itidus20> its kinda like... if i would step out of your way on a street.. then i don't want to defeat you in a game
01:11:25 -!- copumpkin has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
01:11:26 <oerjan> itidus20: i also have trouble with multiplayer games where i need to out-think other people to have any chance of winning
01:11:37 <itidus20> something screwy like that
01:12:08 <itidus20> my brother has been trying to help me with this
01:12:30 <itidus20> when we played some game he was like "if you don't defeat me i will kick your ass"
01:12:31 <oerjan> i was going to respond something but got a pain in my heart, so i guess intuition doesn't want me to
01:13:28 -!- copumpkin has joined.
01:13:31 <itidus20> so he has matured a lot since we were kids
01:14:13 <itidus20> he used to use the "if i hit reset i didnt lose" approach :D
01:14:16 <itidus20> on people
01:15:44 * oerjan learns about ]p in vim
01:15:49 <itidus20> oerjan: uh.. i think in general i need to learn to be competitive
01:16:19 <oerjan> something tells me i've made haskell editing more painful without it...
01:16:27 <itidus20> naturally one can't enjoy a game if one is not competitive...
01:16:38 <itidus20> maybe that is why i described them as dissapointing
01:16:55 <oerjan> oh. i have sort of a moral disgust against being competitive.
01:17:10 <itidus20> so why do you win?
01:17:35 <oerjan> by playing reasonably well and having luck, i guess.
01:17:49 <oerjan> not that i play much these days.
01:17:52 <itidus20> humm
01:18:21 <itidus20> yeah, i guess being competitive over a game of chance is silly
01:19:06 <itidus20> :-j
01:19:08 <Sgeo> What's ]?
01:19:10 <oerjan> or by being so much smarter i don't _have_ to try that hard, occasionally.
01:19:20 <Sgeo> And itidus20 have you ever played Backgammon?
01:19:27 <Sgeo> It's a combination skill and luck game
01:19:32 <oerjan> Sgeo: ]p is like p, but adjusts indentation
01:19:34 <Sgeo> Not sure if that's the sort of game you'd like
01:19:37 <Sgeo> What does p do?
01:19:43 <oerjan> pastes
01:19:59 <itidus20> Sgeo: i have revised my views... it seems that i am not dissapointed with the universe...
01:20:57 <oerjan> i am!
01:21:05 * oerjan crawls back under rock
01:21:06 <itidus20> but i don't get the maximum enjoyment from games because of reasons like not wanting to anger my opponent or not playing with a sense of competitiveness
01:21:07 <Sgeo> o.O wait how did I just change itidus20's mind?
01:21:28 <Sgeo> I wasn't trying to, or anything
01:21:33 <Sgeo> Or disagreeing with anything
01:22:03 <itidus20> also.. i think i get impatient with losing
01:22:59 <itidus20> on a single player game that is
01:23:06 <itidus20> im not sure how i feel about losing in multiplayer
01:25:19 <itidus20> Sgeo: i love to consider things like games being constituted of a combinatin of skill and luck... but i get worn out before i can analyze such ideas in full
01:27:13 <Sgeo> Well, in Backgammon, each player rolls dice, which determines what moves they can make. Sometimes the dice might be unhelpful. However, there are usually choices.
01:27:51 <Sgeo> Thus, in an individual game, luck might play a large role, but in theory, it should even out, resulting in the more skilled player winning more often on average.
01:27:57 <itidus20> there is this document which was on a 486 machine i once spewed so much writing into... no idea what i wrote... and i lost it
01:28:04 <itidus20> i always wonder just what the hell i said
01:35:19 <shachaf> kmc: Turns out screen doesn't support non-BMP characters.
01:36:17 <itidus20> ok i must kfc
01:36:47 <itidus20> i tried watching a peta page showing workers kicking live chickens but it wasn't enough to stop me
01:37:03 <oerjan> they have kfc in australia?
01:37:26 <itidus20> yes.. we have pizza hut, kfc, subway, mcdonalds, burgerking (as hungry jacks)
01:38:05 <Phantom_Hoover> <itidus20> Sgeo: i love to consider things like games being constituted of a combinatin of skill and luck... but i get worn out before i can analyze such ideas in full
01:38:23 <Phantom_Hoover> how can someone be so self-aware of all their problems and yet be totally unable to act upon them
01:38:26 <Phantom_Hoover> i mean seriously
01:38:31 <Phantom_Hoover> have you not thought
01:38:55 <Phantom_Hoover> "maybe i could stick at something and see if something interesting comes out of it"
01:39:03 <itidus20> ill reply within a few hours
01:39:07 <Phantom_Hoover> "it can't be much worse than what i do now"

05:28:56 <Sgeo_> Yes, and it doesn't work in the Android browser unless Flash is installed.
05:29:44 <itidus21> what is a hosted API?
05:30:36 <itidus21> i am not sure that i want to know the answer to the question i just asked
05:31:01 <oerjan> it's a very hostile question
05:31:45 -!- Sgeo has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
05:32:07 <itidus21> it sounds highly dubious
05:34:19 <itidus21> " Note that the standard actually discourages developers from using Application Extension Blocks, and instead recommends that they embed the GIF format in their own file formats"
05:34:30 <itidus21> so why have them at all?
05:38:09 <itidus21> i am not sure that i want to know the answer to the question i just asked..
05:38:37 <Sgeo_> I think a hosted API is one where you send messages to a server somewhere and it responds
05:38:57 <itidus21> yeah.. sort of like an alternative name for web services eh
05:39:00 <Sgeo_> Rather than accessing it by using a library on the computer you're using the API on
05:39:02 <Sgeo_> I may be wrong
05:39:12 <Sgeo_> But I'm not pissed at the hosted nature.
05:39:34 <Sgeo_> I'm pissed at the client-side Javascript library being poorly thought out.
05:39:48 <Sgeo_> In a way that actually has a real impact on users.
05:40:05 <Sgeo_> Pusher says they'll take care of all the compatibility stuff, but they lie

15:02:39 <Arc_Koen> at position 30800ish
15:05:17 <Arc_Koen> ok I found the first 22 bits on a webpage that had more digits (though did not number them so I have no idea of the position)
15:05:40 <Arc_Koen> 10 more bits and that would be the first Another Pi Language program!!

16:51:48 <FreeFull> So you hvae plenty to look through
16:51:52 <FreeFull> have*
16:52:16 <Arc_Koen> well I need to find a web page with enough binary digits
16:53:24 <Arc_Koen> the first page I looked into had only 32000ish and I found a 17bit sequence in it; the second had way more digits and I found a 22bits sequence in it, but I don't know how many digits there were exactly
16:54:19 <Arc_Koen> assuming the binary digits really are random, I should probably calculate an how many digits I need to find my 32bit sequence with reasonable probabilities.
16:55:33 <FreeFull> "The search string "0123456789" was not found in the first 2,000,000,000 decimal digits of Pi."
16:58:02 <Arc_Koen> yeah and 10^10 and 2^32 are about the same
16:58:13 <fizzie> Just ask Google. "0123456789 occurs at 6214876462", from MathWorld.

17:01:15 <Arc_Koen> so I guess I need the first 40 000 000 000 binary digits

19:52:27 <Sgeo__> ais523, hi. What's the controversy surrounding your UTM>
19:52:28 <Sgeo__> ?
19:56:11 <atriq> @messages?
19:56:11 <lambdabot> Sorry, no messages today.
19:56:38 <hagb4rd> @tell atriq not to be sad
19:56:38 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
19:56:50 <atriq> @messages
19:56:50 <lambdabot> hagb4rd said 12s ago: not to be sad
19:56:56 <atriq> Oh no!
19:56:57 <FreeFull> oerjan: primeFactors is part of Data.Numbers.Primes
20:00:45 <oerjan> ok
20:01:11 <hagb4rd> hey oerjan. have you done some more mario programming at last?
20:01:34 <hagb4rd> any results you can share?
20:01:59 <oerjan> not since this morning no. it doesn't interest me _that_ much. i'm currently looking at jolverine.
20:02:12 <hagb4rd> k
20:06:37 <Phantom_Hoover> is oerjan writing his own mario game
20:07:05 <oerjan> no i "fixed" the truth machine for MarioLANG
20:14:50 -!- ogrom has quit (Quit: Left).
20:26:38 <atriq> Yeah, a lot of my truth-machines should be taken with a grain of salt
20:32:39 <Phantom_Hoover> Grrr.
20:32:57 <atriq> I wrote them while over-excited and probably bored and tired
20:33:06 <Phantom_Hoover> atriq, oerjan, any idea what the game referenced in Darths & Droids 775 is?
20:33:38 <atriq> Nah
20:33:46 <atriq> The forum doesn't have a clue either
20:34:10 <atriq> Possibly Star Trek?
20:34:37 <Phantom_Hoover> I can think of exactly one named pilot in Star Trek.
20:34:43 <Phantom_Hoover> And I can't remember what his name actually was.
20:35:24 <atriq> Checkov, Sulu...
20:35:56 <kmc> pilots are usually named "Pilot"
20:36:00 * kmc deliberately misinterprets
20:36:37 <Phantom_Hoover> atriq, wait I thought only one of them was a pilot.
20:36:44 <atriq> I don't know!
20:36:46 <atriq> Aaaah!
20:36:56 <Phantom_Hoover> Also 'shellshocked pilot' makes it sound more like a fighter pilot.
20:37:00 <Phantom_Hoover> Which is what I was talking about.
20:37:13 <atriq> Aaah
20:37:30 -!- MoALTz_ has quit (Quit: Leaving).
20:38:30 <olsner> oh, and I this shuttle set is built out of a repurposed ferengi shuttle set
20:38:44 <kmc> _Lost_ is the only show I know of where the pilot is titled "Pilot" but this also works as a normal episode title
20:38:49 <olsner> or repainted more than repurposed, perhaps
20:39:06 <kmc> _Seinfeld_ had an episode called "The Pilot" in season 4
20:39:09 <kmc> it's, like, meta, man
20:39:29 <olsner> oh, it refers to that pilot?
20:39:55 <Phantom_Hoover> atriq, (the named pilot I was talking about was the guy who Ezri investigates the death of in a DS9 episode.)
20:40:09 <atriq> I'm not a huge star trek fan, I'm afraid
20:40:19 <atriq> As in, I've watched the newest movie and maybe two episodes?
20:40:29 <olsner> don't be afraid, star trek is nice
20:40:29 <Phantom_Hoover> watch ds9! ds9 is good
20:40:32 <Phantom_Hoover> just ask olsner
20:40:46 <kmc> star trek, isn't that for nerds or something
20:41:07 <atriq> Hmm
20:41:09 <atriq> Firefly?
20:41:29 <olsner> kmc: yes!
20:42:04 <atriq> Reluctant doctor = Simon Tam, pilot = Wash, shellshocked pilot = River Tam, nurse = oh dear I don't know
20:42:18 <Phantom_Hoover> uhhh
20:42:24 <Phantom_Hoover> i know very little of firefly
20:42:30 <atriq> It has fencing
20:42:31 <atriq> Fighting
20:42:33 <atriq> Revenge
20:42:36 <atriq> Escapes
20:42:39 <atriq> True love
20:42:45 <atriq> But not many miracles
20:43:01 <olsner> but the comic was about a game? not a sci fi series?
20:43:10 <Phantom_Hoover> but i was under the impression that river tam mostly just kicked people and ticked boxes on whedon's list of fetishes
20:43:19 <jiella> :D
20:43:32 <atriq> She became the pilot at the end of the movie after spoilers happened
20:43:32 <kmc> i wonder how many seasons firefly could have run before becoming shitty
20:44:03 <kmc> i think the film basically demonstrates the hypothetical viability of a second season
20:44:09 <kmc> beyond that, idk
20:45:12 <Phantom_Hoover> olsner, D&D has this running joke where the characters reference other roleplaying games they've played.
20:45:34 <Phantom_Hoover> And they're all real-world films or TV shows or whatever.
20:45:42 <olsner> ok
20:45:47 <Phantom_Hoover> The first one was Princess Bride and I think they just rolled with it.
20:46:05 <atriq> Then it was a mash of Twilight and Van Helsing
20:46:18 <atriq> Probably
20:46:43 <hagb4rd> twilight? wasn't that ages after your last d&d game?
20:47:03 * hagb4rd only knows that twilight movies
20:47:03 <atriq> What?
20:47:12 <atriq> We're talking about the webcomic Darths and Droids
20:47:25 <hagb4rd> aw
20:58:38 <atriq> You know what would be cool?
20:58:52 <atriq> A program that translated Turing machines into turing-complete languages
20:58:57 <atriq> And possibly vice versa

21:13:22 <kmc> the US government is the largest employer in the USA
21:13:53 <Sgeo__> We got mail claiming to be a survey from the Dept. of Education
21:13:58 <Sgeo__> My dad says it sounds fishy
21:14:12 <Sgeo__> It mentions a .gov address, and said address does in fact mention a survey
21:14:47 <olsner> judging by what we've heard about your school, there is obviously no dept. of education where you are
21:14:52 <kmc> do they want any confidential info
21:15:01 <olsner> obvious scam
21:16:26 <Sgeo__> First name, age, gender, schooling of 5 youngest children under 20
21:18:05 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
21:20:30 <Sgeo__> There was also a $5 bill enclosed
21:20:44 <kmc> hahaha
21:20:48 <kmc> that sounds fishy
21:20:55 <kmc> was it a crisp $5 bill or like
21:20:59 <kmc> a ratty one with drugs stains
21:21:00 <Sgeo__> Crisp
21:21:30 <kmc> i wonder if gravatar has code to avoid generating swastikas
21:21:34 <kmc> they sometimes get pretty close anyway
21:23:53 <Sgeo__> A counterfeit-detection pen costs ~ $4.29
21:24:04 <Sgeo__> But my dad wants one now that he know it exists
21:24:10 <kmc> haha
21:24:17 <kmc> nobody is going to counterfit fives anyway
21:24:19 <kmc> but that's funny
21:24:52 <kmc> i liked the thing i saw on CSI (which probably happens irl) where you bleach a real $5 and then print a counterfeit $20 on it
21:25:02 <kmc> so it has the real paper
21:25:10 <kmc> you can't do this with Euro notes because the more valuable ones are bigger
21:25:32 <FreeFull> In Poland, 5zł is a coin
21:31:22 <kmc> yep
21:31:52 <kmc> that's less than €2 though
21:32:10 <olsner> but it'll buy you about 5 beers
21:32:15 <olsner> or more
21:33:24 <Sgeo__> I'm looking at the rules for use of US currency imagery
21:33:34 <Sgeo__> "[Window Title]

21:33:44 <Sgeo__> oops
21:33:52 <Sgeo__> "all negatives, plates, positives, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof are destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use."
21:34:32 <Sgeo__> Weird that I was literally able to copy/paste a dialog box
21:34:56 <olsner> that's always been supported, it's a neat feature
21:37:44 <Sgeo__> Anyways... the destruction of magnetic media
21:37:46 <Sgeo__> o.O
21:38:18 <kmc> makes sense
21:38:22 <Sgeo__> Hmm, just the files, or the entire drive?
21:38:24 <kmc> hard drives are cheap compared to the risk
21:38:28 <kmc> probably the whole drive
21:38:59 <kmc> hard to physically destroy files with confidence otherwise
21:39:26 <Sgeo__> It says "erased" too
21:39:38 -!- copumpkin has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
21:39:41 <Sgeo__> So physical destruction isn't required, apparently
21:39:50 <kmc> oh
21:39:51 <kmc> lame
21:39:59 <olsner> "any other thing" ... sounds like you have to destroy/delete/erase the internet if you download the imagery
21:42:03 <olsner> or at least the parts of the internet that came in contact with some part of the illustration
21:42:48 <Sgeo__> MUAHAHA
21:49:19 <olsner> bad things happen if you take things too literally

23:05:47 <fizzie> Oh, "that contain an image or any part". Aw.
23:06:17 <fizzie> Well, presumably they destroyed all computers and such that had the image in RAM.
