00:04 <Cepheid> Oh neptune. I did the math wrong for my refineries.
00:05 <Cepheid> ... I'm actually producing enough material to create 5.9 sulfur/second. Enough to barely load two chemical plants making sulfuric acid.
00:08 * PinkieShy hands Cepheid a christmas gift
00:08 <PinkieShy> its chocolate truffles :3
00:08 <Cepheid> Are you trying to kill me?
00:08 <Cepheid> I'm diabetic. :P
00:08 <PinkieShy> :O
00:08 <PinkieShy> sorry!! :(
00:08 <Cepheid> It's fine. :P
00:09 <PinkieShy> You know I have to be careful about that stuff as well
00:09 <PinkieShy> Diabetes run in my family on my mum's side
00:09 <PinkieShy> my mum has it, her mum had it, and her brother has it..
00:09 <Cepheid> I just chose to replace chocolate with something else. I've since.. "gotten off" of sweets. I'm no longer addicted to them.
00:09 <Cepheid> Instead, I consume spicy foods and sausage.
00:09 * PinkieShy loves Soy Milk
00:09 <Cepheid> Runs in the family on both sides, here.
00:10 <Cepheid> It was more or less not a question of if I'll develop diabetes, but when.
00:11 <PinkieShy> I sadly eat alot of sugar but compared to what i used to eat in a day.. I'm not nearly that much xD
00:12 <PinkieShy> Used to be able to drink 6 sodas a day, 6 little debbie snack cakes, and 2 bowls of cereal a day..
00:12 <PinkieShy> Now i only drink soda maybe only once a week..
00:12 <PinkieShy> and snack cakes very rare for me lol
00:13 <Cepheid> Same. I developed a sweets habit like my dad, so I consumed a lot of sugar. Probably accelerated the development of diabetes, that.
00:13 <Cepheid> That said, I hardly consume any sugar these days.
00:14 <Cepheid> I've switched to mostly sugar-free foods. If there is any sugar in anything I eat, it's such miniscule amounts that it's harmless compared to say, a can of soda.
00:14 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid eats no fruit
00:14 <Cepheid> I eat the occasional apple here and there, or tangerine, but even that's rare, these days. More like a treat type thing.
00:14 <PinkieShy> Cepheid watch out for the foods that claim their sugar free :P
00:15 <PinkieShy> Some i heard use the fake sugar sweeteners thingy
00:15 <RazorSharpFang> Some sugar free candy has laxitive effects XD
00:19 <Cepheid> PinkieShy: I admit some of them have problems, but they're still a better alternative to consuming sodas with sugar in them.

04:10 <Thelema5> Hello everypony
04:10 <Verandure> Hiya, Thelema5.
04:12 <Thelema5> What's new?
04:14 <Verandure> Not tooooo much. Just a ctrl+c ctrl+v of yesterday.
04:15 <Verandure> And you?
04:15 <Thelema5> Been there
04:16 <Thelema5> I've nearly made it through my first week with the new job and have been super stressed over it
04:16 * PinkieShy hugs Thelema5
04:16 * Verandure also hugs the Thelema5. And the sore-backed PinkieShy.
04:16 <Thelema5> Trying to tell myself not to stress, you don't really even want this job but still.
04:16 * Thelema5 counterhugs both pones!
04:18 <Thelema5> Working from home is strange. I've barely gone outside since Monday
04:19 <Verandure> Don't you usually do nature walks?
04:19 <Thelema5> When I can, yeah
04:19 <Thelema5> But that hasn't been an option so far with this job
04:20 <Verandure> Exercise is a big thing to keep track of. Don't want them joints to atrophy. You'd be surprised how much walking you do f you work in an office.
04:21 <Thelema5> I know it. I track my steps; I averaged around 10000 per day before losing my office job. Since I got laid off I'm averaging about 4000
04:21 <Thelema5> Now with this new job I'm moving even less, pretty much from my home office to the bathroom and back\
04:23 <Verandure> Eeck. Yeah, gotta be careful with that. I'd recommend working while standing for a little bit, each hour. Maybe some squats/light exercises when you go to the bathroom or kitchen.
04:23 <Verandure> Just to keep things limber.
04:23 <PinkieShy> Just got called a rude name for giving 5bits on twitch..
04:23 <Verandure> ?
04:23 <Ali> 5 bitcoins or 5 bucks
04:24 <PinkieShy> bits are twitch's currency

04:50 <Thelema5> I just learned that there will be a nation-wide release of The Room
04:50 <Thelema5> That's incredible
04:51 <Thelema5> Talk about a mobilized fan base.
04:54 <DashedRainbows> That's good
04:54 <Verandure> Ironic* fan-base
04:54 <DashedRainbows> One day I will watch it all
04:54 <Verandure> Oh, Hi DashedRainbows.
04:55 <DashedRainbows> Hay
04:55 <DataByte> Which "The Room" are we talking about?
04:55 <Verandure> You're tearing me apart, Lisa!
04:55 <Verandure> Probably not the Silent Hill game.
04:55 <Thelema5> The Tommy Wiseau film
04:56 <DashedRainbows> I watched like a fourth
04:56 <DashedRainbows> I remember almost none
04:57 <Thelema5> I've only watched half. I really enjoyed The disaster Artist, though, and I love watching interviews with Tommy. He's like an alien.
04:57 <Verandure> I watched the whole thing, recently.
04:57 <DashedRainbows> 0.o
04:57 <Verandure> Watching 1/4 is like watching the whole thing with how many repeated scenes there are.
04:58 <DashedRainbows> I remember that
04:58 <Verandure> I hadn't even heard of it until this year -- my friend made me watch it over the summer =P
04:58 <Thelema5> Yup. That's why I stopped watching.
04:58 <Schism> Verandure: Oh lord, Silent Hill: The Room. "You're tearing me apart, Robbie!"

05:00 <Thelema5> He gave everything only to be mocked
05:00 <DashedRainbows> That's life

09:15 <Cepheid> What happened?
09:16 <Ali> All I'm going to say is I'm not going anywhere for Xmas like planned
09:17 <Cepheid> If it's any consolation, I'm not going anywhere for Christmas either. I generally don't do anything this time of year except sleep and slack off.
09:17 <Cepheid> Which is probably gonna hurt me today in today's exam.
09:18 * Ali hopes Cepheid does well on his exam today.
09:18 <Cepheid> I'll pass, that much is certain.
09:19 <Cepheid> It's more a question of how good a mark I'll get given I barely studied for it. But then again, I didn't study for my other exams either, and the average for them is ~82%.
09:19 * Ali still wants to wish Cepheid luck.
09:20 <Cepheid> Hum, how much is this exam worth anyhow..?

09:23 <Cepheid> I'd have an A+ for my final course mark.
09:23 <Cepheid> To get anything LOWER than an A+..
09:24 * Ali is confused how a 50% on an exam can still end up with an A
09:24 <Cepheid> I'm talking final course mark.
09:28 <Cepheid> Oop. I made a slight miscalculation. If I get 50% on the final exam, I get a B+. If I get an 82% on my final exam, it's an A. To get an A+, I would need... 87%. *Shrugs* In any case I'm set.
09:30 <Cepheid> In other news, I need to wash my sheets again, it seems. Sitting down here in the living room, my nose is fine. Go upstairs to lay in bed, my nose feels closed up a bit. Sit up in my chair in my bedroom, nose is fine again.
09:31 <Cepheid> At a minimum the pillows and pillowcases need a washing, it looks like.
09:39 <Cepheid> I think I figured out what breed of cat Spitfire is.
09:41 <Cepheid> Research indicates that he is likely a British Bombay. They're pretty much the same as American Bombay cats, but the eye colours vary a bit more.
09:41 <Cepheid> American Bombay cats have bright copper eyes. British Bombay cats can have copper, bronze or green eyes. Spitfire's is a mix between bronze and green.

10:13 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: If you somehow have a PS4, there's something of interest starting today that you might be interested in.
10:14 <Cepheid> There's a Monster Hunter World open beta going on. Accessible to anyone who own's a PS4, PS+ not required.
10:15 <ConfusionRift> Oh, did hear of that. Have to get it later on to check it out.
10:15 <ConfusionRift> Completely forgot it was today.
10:15 <Tirek> http://picosong.com/wRcRR/
10:15 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's only 5.5g to download too, so not too large.
10:20 * Cepheid puts kitties onto Ali's head.
10:20 * Ali squeaks, she already has active kittens
10:21 <ConfusionRift> Probably one quest/stage.
10:22 <Cepheid> Based on what I've seen, it's a bit more than that.
10:22 <Cepheid> Dun forget, they had the closed beta a while back. This beta's the same thing, only available to all.
10:23 <Cepheid> So whatever they saw a week ago, we'll see now. Though, apparently the biggest problem isn't the occasional bug here and there.
10:23 <Cepheid> There are... reports of players being killed by a "feature"
10:23 <Cepheid> Basically, when a monster shows up for the first time, the game zooms in on it all cinematic-like.
10:23 <Cepheid> Problem is, the game's logic is STILL RUNNING during this scene.
10:24 <ConfusionRift> Are... are you serious? That's a classical mistake!
10:24 <Cepheid> So the camera suddenly goes from being on your character, to zooming in on a new monster. While your current character is being chomped on by a monster.
10:24 <Ali> At least its not Fallout 4's engine!
10:24 <ConfusionRift> Well, it's a beta. It's the least of the issues.
10:24 <Cepheid> Yeah, it'll likely be refined somehow.
10:24 <Ali> Cause we all know IT JUST WORKS
10:25 <Cepheid> It'll likely just be replaced with the typical *ALERT! music* and the flashing eye.
10:25 <Cepheid> It was a nice try to be all cool and all, but it's gonna cause trouble unless they pause the logic for every player in the hunt, which would look weird if some players weren't near the monster at that time.
10:26 <ConfusionRift> "Warning! Warning! Large craft approaching, attack and destroy!"
10:26 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:26 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, other bugs noticed include being launched into the stratosphere, and the tracking skill occasionally pointing out way into the ocean where you can't go.
10:27 <Cepheid> But otherwise reports indicate it's a solid game.
10:27 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, the other installments didn't have that issue. I think it just paused everything and played an FMV.
10:27 <Cepheid> With one niggling factor that'll probably peeve players off. The beta/demo requires internet connection to work outright, even for singleplayer. That may just be due to the time limited nature of it, but..
10:28 <Cepheid> On the other hand, given the nature of the game, and it's release on PC, I am starting to lean more and more towards a preference of online-only.
10:28 <Ali> Was Monster Hunter mostly Nintendo only?
10:28 <Cepheid> Not really.
10:28 <Cepheid> It's 50/50 Sony and Nintendo.
10:29 <Ali> It just seemed that the last few were only on the DS
10:29 <Cepheid> Monster Hunter 1 and 2, and their expansions/remakes/ports have all been on Sony hardware. Monster Hunter 3 was on the Wii, then got ported to the PSP and PS3 a few years later. A few years LATER it got a port to the Wii U and 3DS.
10:30 <Cepheid> Monster Hunter 4 and Monster Hunter Cross/Generations on the 3DS, with their expansions also being on the 3DS and Switch.
10:30 <Cepheid> The various spinoffs are all on different platforms.
10:31 <ConfusionRift> There was a snag between Capcom and Sony at one point, hence the Nintendo releases.
10:31 <Cepheid> PSP, 3DS, PS3, Phones.
10:31 *** Quits: Bubble-Berry (uid109338@Pony-91i8qf.hathersage.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
10:31 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Wouldn't surprise me if it had anything to do with cross-platform play or something relating to networking.
10:32 <Cepheid> Sony's got a pretty tight grip on their network. Cross-platform play is possible with a PS4, as was recently demonstrated by a small glitch in Rocket League, but Sony is being a scrooge about it.
10:33 <Ali> Isn't Sony gonna be very careful with networking ever since those hacks years ago?
10:35 <ConfusionRift> Nah, there was some dispute between them. If I remember correctly, Capcom was planning on leaving MH away from Sony altogether. With that, Capcom left their IP with Nintendo, which is why 3 Ultimate , 4, and 4 Ultimate were on the 3DS and Wii U.
10:35 <ConfusionRift> Alas, seems they're back where they originally were.
10:35 <Cepheid> Alas.
10:36 <Cepheid> I also suspect that the co-operation between Sony and Capcom is partly responsible for why we haven't seen MHXX for the Switch in the West.
10:36 * Ali can't wait for Megaman 11
10:36 <Cepheid> Capcom argues that it's because it's not a main series game, that the team responsible for MH 1-4 and their expansions weren't responsible for MHX/XX.
10:38 <Cepheid> Honestly, right now I'm fine with it, as I haven't really gotten around to MHX yet. Still working on MH4 slowly. If I do want to see anything from Capcom regarding Monster Hunter, it's a PC beta/demo of Monster Hunter World.
10:38 <Cepheid> I want to see whether or not the PC version is going to be decent, or a pile of garbage like a lot of console->PC ports tend to be.
10:39 <Cepheid> Funny how that works. We use computers on a daily basis to write the code for these games that run on consoles, but publishers can't be bothered to give developers the time to make a decent PC version.
10:41 <ConfusionRift> They just end up porting the games akin to running on an emulator.
10:41 <ConfusionRift> At least the console to PC ports.
10:42 <ConfusionRift> It's a whole different structure, but it shouldn't be a problem to make sure it runs as it should by PC hardware.
10:42 <Cepheid> More or less.
10:42 <Cepheid> Well... No.
10:43 <Cepheid> Architectural differences can change the performance of a given algorithm. What's good for the PS4 may be bad for the PC, and vice versa.
10:44 * ConfusionRift nods.
10:44 <Cepheid> I'd argue that because the PS4 is an x86_64 architecture device, to say that the same techniques on a PC would work as well on a PS4 and vice versa is a lie. There are differences involved.
10:44 <Cepheid> Namely, the PS4 has one addition and one major change that I am aware of.
10:45 <Cepheid> It has a hardware decompressor for a particular compression algorithm, and the main memory is GDDR5.
10:45 <Cepheid> It's using graphics memory instead of the standard memory that a PC has.
10:46 <Cepheid> Which I assume changes how memory accesses work and perform. The hardware decompression likely also beats out anything a CPU can do.
10:47 <Cepheid> Oops, it's quarter to 6. I gotta go take my shower. I'll be back in a bit.
10:50 <ConfusionRift> Alrighty.

11:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #1075 [ http://tinyurl.com/y7kt8jqq ]
11:05 <Cepheid> All good.
11:06 <Cepheid> Now where wa- Ah, yeah, hardware decompression. The PS4 has a bit of an advantage over PCs because of it. Though that advantage has probably closed now, since we have like, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14-core processors on the market now.
11:06 <Cepheid> It'd be no trouble to dedicate one or two cores entirely to zlib decompression/compression.
11:10 <Cepheid> That or use an Intel processor that includes a hardware implementation of the DEFLATE algorithm. Apparently certain processors support it.
11:11 <Cepheid> ... Or one of the PCI-e cards.
11:12 <Cepheid> http://www.aha.com/DrawProducts.aspx?Action=GetProductDetails&ProductID=41 They even support replacement DLLs and such, so applications that are built against the software implementation can make use of the hardware implementation without any changes.
11:16 <Cepheid> Arguably you could also just throw an FPGA board into a computer and program it to do DEFLATE as well. Probably would cost less than that section up there. The driver would be problematic, admittedly, but it can be done.
11:17 <Cepheid> GPU Compute can also probably be used as well.

11:20 <Cepheid> I know I can get a little deep into some subjects and talk a lot, so I get a little self-conscious when people stop replying now.
11:21 <ConfusionRift> The tech and knowhow are there, but it's really up to them to implement or work around that to make their project work when ported.
11:21 <ConfusionRift> It also takes more time to adjust to both structures.
11:22 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
11:22 <Cepheid> Truth told, on the PS4, I'm not even sure if the hardware is usable as a development addition.
11:22 * Ali sadly didn't understand any of it
11:22 <Cepheid> It's listed as an "on-the-fly decompressor for data on the blu-ray disc"

12:56 <Gladlygrey> yeah a laptop isnt going to.draw, say, the 550-600 watts my pc was going to draw
12:56 <ConfusionRift> Depends on how big the bills are, the amount, the overall weight, and... wait, we were talking about UPSes.
12:57 <Gladlygrey> and not the shipping company
12:57 <Cepheid> That UPS I linked is $45.
12:57 <ConfusionRift> Alas, these UPSeseses are mostly to keep your system powered long enough for you to save your work and shut it down properly.
12:57 <Gladlygrey> i prefer my ponies forcefully romantically paired by UPS
12:58 <Cepheid> That's true, ConfusionRift.
12:58 <Cepheid> But laptops do not draw as much power as a PC does.
12:58 <Cepheid> So they can act as a battery pack of sorts for a laptop.
12:58 <Gladlygrey> yeah, some upses give you like 30 minutes max draw
12:58 <Gladlygrey> a laptop uses like 20, 30 watts with medium use?
12:59 <Cepheid> I don't know offhand.
12:59 <ConfusionRift> That's true as well, but I don't think they will supply that much still. But surely there's a battery backup solution that's portable. Oh, and yeah, this one is not that small.
12:59 <Gladlygrey> intel and amd -u cpus use 15 watts
12:59 <Cepheid> But given that power adapters tend to be 60w or 90w for most laptops..

16:59 <Finwe> Cepheid: Yes, if it's -13°C there, it's definitely a lot colder than what we have here at the moment.
16:59 <Cepheid> Isn't the extreme cold and darkness the reason the Finnish drink so much? Because there isn't much else to do in such weather? Should I be drinking because of how cold and gloomy it is?

17:00 <DashedRainbows> So you're saying drink on gloomy days...
17:01 <DashedRainbows> Sounds healthy
17:02 <Finwe> Cepheid: How much do we drink then?
17:03 <Finwe> I assume that you mean alcoholic beverages.
17:03 <Cepheid> Vage references suggest 'lots'. Especially students and new graduates.
17:03 <Finwe> The Germans, Czechs, Russians, French and many more drink susbstantially more than we do on the average.
17:03 <Cepheid> Yes. Alcoholic beverages.
17:03 <Cepheid> Vage - vague
17:04 <Finwe> Hmm, wait, I have to take my words back.

18:41 <Librarian> i have a site by the way owo
18:41 <Librarian> basic for now, but its my site
18:41 <Cepheid> While the gameplay is there, I am slightly unimpressed with the visuals for MHWorld. Lot of low-res textures, lots of popping in, popping out, and other techniques for improving performance at the cost of visual quality.

18:42 <Cepheid> And I like the changes to the light bowgun. I can freakin run and gun now!
18:43 <Librarian> its it croosplay ?
18:43 <Librarian> like acroos consoles
18:44 <Cepheid> Knowing Sony, no. XBox and PC, probably, yeah.
18:44 <Cepheid> But adding the PS4 into that mix? *YAY* no. It's Sony, they don't care for crossplay, no matter the benefit.
18:44 <Librarian> ohh
18:45 <Cepheid> Given the visual quality and performance on the PS4, I'm going to assume that it's either designed with the PS4 Pro, X Box One X, or the PC. Or all 3.
18:46 <Cepheid> Though, why the PC version is releasing later on, I don't know. Probably exclusivity deals with Microsoft and Sony. Or perhaps to optimize it.
18:46 <DashedRainbows> huh, haven't update intellij in over a year
18:47 <Cepheid> I'm hoping more for testing on many different configurations of PCs, so that ye know, it runs nice on all configurations.

19:28 <FruitNibbler> Compared to CAD license prices that's cheap
19:30 <Cepheid> True.

19:31 <Cepheid> Okay, okay, I get it.
19:31 <Cepheid> Your field's mor eexpensive. :P

19:33 <Cepheid> Typically, workstation cards are better at compute workloads.
19:33 <Cepheid> Aye.

19:35 <FruitNibbler> Since they are much more "parallelised"
19:35 <Cepheid> Oh yeah, they are.
19:35 <Cepheid> Workstation cards are great for anything that does parallel Compute-capable workloads.

19:35 <Cepheid> So, cryptography, physics calculations and simulations, CAD work, coin mining, etc.
19:36 <FruitNibbler> Stitching photos into a 3D-landscape
19:36 <FruitNibbler> It is relatively easy for those, and thus it is done very fast
19:36 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:37 <FruitNibbler> It is a "cheat" when you need to draw a 3D object that exists IRL, but you have little time
19:37 <Cepheid> It's not cheating.
19:38 <Cepheid> It's just "using the right tools for the right job."
19:38 <FruitNibbler> You just use manual lase measuring tool to measure crucial spots and then photograph the hell out of it from many points
19:39 <FruitNibbler> After the computer "stitches" photos into a 3D shape you just correct the shape with actual measurements (they are always off) and make a 3D model
19:39 <Cepheid> I think I've seen that tech.
19:39 <FruitNibbler> Oh, I forgot to mention that real world buildings, roads, walls are /never/ perfectly flat
19:39 <Cepheid> Seen a few home-repair shows that utilize the tech to measure countertops, small areas and such, to get a better layout.
19:39 <FruitNibbler> So this method is an approximation
19:40 <Cepheid> Sure, but it works.
19:40 <FruitNibbler> In a pinch it does. But it is far from industry standard
19:40 <FruitNibbler> Good by-product of it is that you have "skins" for your model
19:41 <FruitNibbler> I.e. colours and textures for all surfaces
19:42 <FruitNibbler> Some architects photograph objects intentionally throughout a whole day (from same spots) to then make a better, more pretty light model for their 3D rendering
19:42 <FruitNibbler> it is not a much, but an impressive presentation can mean a contract made, so it is worth the hassle

21:28 <RazorSharpFang> What caused the price to fall?
21:28 <Verandure> People selling off.
21:29 <RazorSharpFang> That's true by definition, I meant a more specific reason
21:33 <Schism> The bubble, in honest truth. When the highest-value sales are made in large quantity, then people will decide that it's time to sell before the price drops any further, and so speculation drives a downward trend. This is also what drives a bank run when economies start to truly fail.
21:34 <Schism> Bitcoin, being the very definition of a fiat currency, is even more subseptible to it than many others, as A. its saturation is not ubiquitous, and B. its material backing, such as it is, is... not entirely licit.
21:36 *** Joins: totient (quassel@Pony-qai0bs.fios.verizon.net)
21:36 <RazorSharpFang> Uh. Literally every currency I can think of is fiat.
21:37 <Schism> We could go back to a barter economy. o3o
21:37 <Schism> Anyway, many of Bitcoin's supporters stated that it was somehow better than fiat.
21:38 <Schism> Something about the price being entirely driven by an open market rather than 'teh gubmint'.
21:38 <RazorSharpFang> I think it's a modified version of fiat, so it's not entirely the same as your traditional fiat currency, but it's not a backed currency either so it's technically fiat, but it's slightly different and
21:40 <RazorSharpFang> zzzzz
21:40 <Schism> Yes.
21:44 <RazorSharpFang> I think it's decentralised in a way that current fiat currencies aren't, (and likely cannot because of practicality) but I don't know how that changes things.
21:46 <Schism> It really doesn't, from what I can see.

23:03 <Snapai> Need eye-tracking glasses, get focus-follows-eyes.
23:03 <RazorSharpFang> Also, that depends on which API they're using to obtain the user-input.
23:03 <RazorSharpFang> Hang on, is this Windows or Mac or Linux-variant ?
23:03 <Snapai> Actually, Razor, there is an old setting that may still be buried in windows somewhere that DOES do "focus-follows-cursor" :v
23:03 <Snapai> Windows XD
23:03 <RazorSharpFang> Okay, let's dive into the infinite complexity of application programming. UwU

23:07 <Snapai> Huh
23:07 <Snapai> Actually, focus follows mouse isn't even that hard to find in Windows
23:07 <Snapai> Ease of Access Center > Make the mouse easier to use
23:07 <RazorSharpFang> Right, but that's a configuration option for the OS, not an application-specific detail.
23:07 <Snapai> [ ] Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse.
23:08 <Snapai> Of course.
23:08 <RazorSharpFang> I think the scroll acting different to keystrokes might be a legacy quirk of the older windows APIs
23:08 <Snapai> Because app focus is necessarily a part of the window manager, not the application in the window.
23:08 <RazorSharpFang> For instance, an application will receive MouseMove events when not in focus when the mouse passes over it.
23:08 <RazorSharpFang> Errr, MAY.
23:09 <RazorSharpFang> I think in the deeper lower-level APIs there's a bigger segmentation of mouse-events and keyboard-events, which likely causes this.
23:10 <Snapai> nope
23:10 <Snapai> Settings > Devices > Mouse > Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them. ( o) On
23:11 <Snapai> It's on by default. :D
23:12 <RazorSharpFang> I'm not finding that configuration option.
23:12 <RazorSharpFang> Are you on Win10 ?
23:18 <Snapai> yup
23:19 <RazorSharpFang> Well then in that case who knows. They've re-written a lot of the subsystem and broke backwards compatibility with older windows so a lot of the legacy features may not work as they did prior, or even at all.
23:19 <RazorSharpFang> A lot of applications were misbehaving or just crashing under Win10
23:21 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe it's a change for the better, but it's certainly a problem for devs who need to re-write, port or debug their apps.
23:27 <Snapai> It acts the way I'm used to, I'm not complaining. I think it's neat that they still have those options tho
23:28 <RazorSharpFang> Usability options are neat, but I gotta have sympathy for the people who're wracking their brains over the changes.

23:35 <Snapai> I had some UI peeves with it, but I fixed them.
23:35 <Snapai> Took half an hour to unpin all the CRAP they had on the start menu by default.
23:35 <RazorSharpFang> Don't forget Win10 coming with Candy Crush. :3

23:38 <Snapai> Small icons on the taskbar, just the tiles I want next to the start menu, small start menu...
23:38 <RazorSharpFang> A Nvidia user, eh?
23:38 <Snapai> If you unpin all the tiles it shrinks back to a standard start menu of just items.
23:38 <Snapai> well yeah, I work in Blender.
23:38 <RazorSharpFang> Does Blender behave better under Nvidia than AMD?
23:39 <Snapai> AMD's support for open source developers is apparently quite awful, for GPUs.
23:40 <RazorSharpFang> Wait.
23:40 <RazorSharpFang> Are you conflating OpenGL with OpenSource?
23:41 <Snapai> no
23:41 <Snapai> https://www.blendernation.com/2017/04/12/blender-cycles-opencl-now-par-cuda/ - it wasn't til this April that OpenCL could handle what CUDA could, I guess...?
23:42 <RazorSharpFang> Okay then that's confusing. Wouldn't Blender be using the same APIs that closed-source software would be using? (i.e.: DX11/12 calls?)
23:42 <RazorSharpFang> Or are you talking about open-standard APIs ?
23:43 <Snapai> I don't know, pretty sure rendering isn't using DX at all.
23:44 <RazorSharpFang> Well, under windows DX is the typical way to render polygons/shaders to surfaces under hardware acceleration.
23:44 <Snapai> It could either be done on CPU, or with a CUDA kernel loaded to an nvidia gpu. Apparently the OpenCL kernel has almost reached feature parity with the CUDA one, which will let it work on anything.
23:44 <Snapai> No we're talking about rendering not viewport
23:45 <Snapai> 3D rendering is closest in computational tasks to bitcoin mining, not 3D gaming

23:48 <Snapai> You're confusing realtime 3D with rendered 3D.
23:48 <RazorSharpFang> Wouldn't the calls be the same?
23:48 <Snapai> not at all
23:50 <Snapai> https://puu.sh/yM6gb/e87f39d9c4.png - the top one is rendered, the bottom is viewport (openGL)
23:51 <Snapai> That's a relatively simple example, but the rendered one is actually doing lightcasting through the scene and calculating photorealistic lighting etc
23:51 <Snapai> (and also took 3.45 seconds to finish its path tracing, on a preview that small)
23:51 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, and I presume that more complex effects may not be possible through the OpenGL/DX APIs?
23:52 <Snapai> The full render for that scene took 14.28 seconds to render
23:52 <Snapai> For that frame
23:52 <RazorSharpFang> Yep that sounds about right for 3D rendering.
23:52 <Snapai> That's actually very fast
