01:04 <Schism> The downside to the brassica is that they really are quite pungent.
01:04 <Schism> For mustard, that pungence is precisely what people want. For cabbage, broccoli... it depends.

01:13 <Cepheid> Ah just eat it.
01:13 <Cepheid> The broccoli, that is.
01:13 <Schism> I suggest that if you don't have cheese sauce, that you throw some lemon, pepper and butter on there.
01:14 <PinkieShy> Trust me. I wouldn't be able to.. Its probably cooled down by now lol
01:14 <PinkieShy> The whole house smells awful from it.
01:17 <Thelema5> ... It can't be that bad.
01:20 <Thelema5> Surely it jusy smells slightly sulfurous... all cruciferrous vegetables do
01:27 <Cepheid> My cat is outright spazzing out, and I don't know why.
01:29 <Thelema5> Which one?
01:29 <PinkieShy> It is that bad Thelema5 to me at least.
01:30 <Thelema5> How did you cook it, PinkieShy?
01:30 <PinkieShy> Its stinks so bad.. I would rather accept i lost $1
01:30 <PinkieShy> It was boiled
01:30 <Thelema5> Hmm, yeah- should have steamed it
01:31 <Thelema5> It would still have an aroma, but not as strong.
01:32 <PinkieShy> Steaming it worse.
01:33 <PinkieShy> Last time had steamed broccoli in a microwave when i tried it once..
01:33 <PinkieShy> The taste and the smell made me puke..
01:35 <Cepheid> Think you could maybe tone down the dramatics a bit? Broccoli, boiled or steamed, is not that bad.
01:36 <Thelema5> Hmm. I guess it's just not for you. FYI the less you cook it, the less it smells. I prefer mine somewhat al dente
01:37 <PinkieShy> I can't help that veggies and fruits does that to me.
01:37 <PinkieShy> It has to be a gag reflex or something
01:39 <Thelema5> I'm guessing you don't care for cauliflower
01:49 <PinkieShy> It don't have any taste..
01:50 <PinkieShy> Of all the fruits and veggies I've tried and had a gag issue with it: Apples, Bananas, Watermelon, Oranges, Grapefruit, peach, cauliflower, broccoli..
01:50 <PinkieShy> Carrots..
01:50 <Cepheid> You ever consider maybe you're addicted to junk and garbage food so much that you cannot grasp the concept of eating anything even remotely healthy anymore?
01:51 <PinkieShy> I don't think i am addicted.
01:51 <PinkieShy> But I would like to eat healthy but I can't...
01:51 <Cepheid> What'd you eat today?
01:53 <PinkieShy> So far..
01:53 <PinkieShy> Only a bowl of cinnamon toast.
01:56 <Cepheid> Not the healthiest of starts. I'd advise something like corn flakes, or cheerios. Even better, something else entirely due to the sugar content of cereal and milk in general. Eggs(Doesn't matter how, just as long as it's eggs), mini-sausages, and toast would probably be a better start.

02:13 <Thelema5> So it's a week until Halloween... anypony have plans?
02:14 <Schism> Amongst other things, going down to the store the day after to pick up the marked-down candy.
02:14 <Thelema5> Ah, an excellent plan
02:14 <Schism> For Halloween itself, not so much.
02:15 <Cepheid> Play games.
02:16 <Cepheid> I should probably study as the next day I have an exam.
02:16 <PinkieShy> The only veggie i could probably stand is sweet potato and potato.
02:17 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, what about sweet corn?
02:17 <PinkieShy> Idk
02:17 <PinkieShy> I tried regular corn before.. it was well same result as others lol
02:18 <Thelema5> ... hmm.
02:18 <Thelema5> Cepheid, what's the subject of the exam?
02:18 <Cepheid> C++. Something I've had experience with for decades.
02:19 <Thelema5> Ahh
02:20 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 I had raw broccoli last night.. It left a after taste in my mouth.. :/

12:36 <Koopz> coworker ordered Red Dead Redemption 2 and received it today
12:36 <Koopz> it consists of 2 BluRays
12:36 <Twilight_Sparkle> We shall mourn their passing
12:37 <Koopz> i feel like we're repeating history here
12:37 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, the game is about 100GB or so, unpatched.
12:37 <Koopz> Final Fantasy 9 for PS1 was 4 CDs
12:37 * ConfusionRift sighs.
12:38 <Koopz> now our games are again too big to be contained on a single medium
12:38 <Koopz> with the difference that you can't play the game from the disc directly this time
12:39 <Koopz> you actually have to install it on your console's HDD
12:39 <ConfusionRift> You can just download it. And then sweat it as it eats a nice chunk of your drive.
12:39 <Koopz> no popup telling you to "insert Disc 2"
12:40 <Koopz> direct downloads can't replace physical copies
12:41 <Koopz> how big is the HDD in your console? 1TB?
12:41 <ConfusionRift> 2TH hybrid drive.
12:41 <ConfusionRift> *2TB
12:41 <Koopz> give it 3 more years and you'll be able to fit 4 games on it
12:41 <ConfusionRift> I replaced that garbage of 500GB.
12:43 <ConfusionRift> I don't see what the major deal is. People want more from the game, want the game to look pretty, and want everything to work 100% flawlessly. All of these, as game become more complex, will require more space and better hardware.
12:44 <Koopz> the problem is i fear that the hardware isn't able to keep up with the demands
12:45 <ConfusionRift> I'm just gonna say it will happen. It always happens. And will continue to happen.
12:45 <Koopz> i mean... i know that Samsung already produces a 30TB SSD on the enterprise market
12:46 <Koopz> but i doubt that their prices will drop fast enough to be viable in the consumer market
12:46 <ConfusionRift> The PS4, Xbox One, and Switch will get phased out in a few years. And you're kinda fearing something that still takes time to happen.
12:47 <Twilight_Sparkle> If the software demand outstrips the hardware capability of the consumer market, won't the majority of the consumers simply not purchase the software?
12:48 *** Quits: fluffd (fluffd@Pony-coi.j84.62.185.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
12:48 <ConfusionRift> That's the projection, but it just means the consumer is just gonna get another expensive piece of hardware to just deal with the issue.
12:48 <Twilight_Sparkle> not if the consumer market can't afford that hardware.
12:48 <ConfusionRift> We're still at a point where people just toss tech that's just a year old.
12:49 <Twilight_Sparkle> I get what you're saying, but the scenario suggested is where people literally can't afford to get the hardware needed
12:50 <Twilight_Sparkle> if that becomes the case, and the prerequisite hardware costs are too great for a specific piece of the software, the software in question would then have trouble finding a viable market.
12:50 <ConfusionRift> Well, in that case, either the market adjusts to the clientele, or that market is just gonna slowly fizzle out.
12:50 <Koopz> idk... if the other manufacturers do the same thing like Nvidia did with the RTX prices i think i'll stop playing games once my GTX 980 can't run 60FPS on low settings
12:50 *** Joins: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone)
12:51 <Twilight_Sparkle> Except that there are games out there that don't push the graphical limitations
12:51 <Koopz> remember the golden days where you could build a solid 500€ rig with good performance?
12:51 <ConfusionRift> Don't toss your GTX 980 just yet. Even with the 1080ti and the RTX 2080, that 980 should still withstand the load for a while longer.
12:51 <Twilight_Sparkle> AAA titles like Red Dead 2 aren't the be-all and end-all of the gaming scene.
12:52 <Koopz> i'm playing Forza Horizon 4 on middle settings on 1440p
12:52 <ConfusionRift> 1440p.
12:52 <Koopz> (on a 4k monitor)
12:52 <ConfusionRift> ...
12:52 <Koopz> 60 Hz!
12:52 <ConfusionRift> Sir... I... no... I'm not gonna say anything.
12:53 <Koopz> those settings were automatically set by the game D:
12:53 <ConfusionRift> Aaaand you can still set them afterwards.
12:53 <Koopz> sure i can modify them
12:53 <Koopz> only to see that my FPS drops
12:54 <ConfusionRift> Lowering the workload shouldn't lower the FPS. That kinda makes no sense.
12:55 * Twilight_Sparkle gets elementium.
12:56 * ConfusionRift shouldn't be talking much. He got a GTX 1050ti just so he could get rid of his obnoxious GTX 750.
12:58 <ConfusionRift> In any case, we shouldn't worry about this so soon.
13:01 <ConfusionRift> As for the card, well, might wanna wait a bit. Hopefully NVidia gets the hint and releases a 2050, just as they're releasing a 2070. Another thing is that the value of the 1050-1080ti are likely to drop as the RTX series takes on.

16:37 <Cepheid> I sent an e-mail to the prof and the coordinator.
16:37 <Cepheid> Have them check it out.
16:37 <Cepheid> But the similarities are astounding.
16:38 <Cepheid> The only differences I see are in indentation, whitespace, and..
16:38 <Cepheid> The usage of for-in loops in one student's code, and standard for loops in another student's code.
16:41 <Cepheid> Gods, even the appearance of the application is identical.
16:41 <Cepheid> With exception to the background colour on the page.
16:41 <Cepheid> It's pink instead of gray.
16:42 <Cepheid> Even the drawing of the text is 100% identical.
16:42 <Schism> Parsimonious changes intended to simply draw an unwitting TA's eye away from the important things.

18:15 <Cepheid> I wonder if the language in EXAPUNKS is turing complete.
18:17 <Schism> I think it most likely is.
18:26 <Cepheid> Given that people have interpreters written in it..
18:27 <Cepheid> I ask because I have a crazy idea.
18:27 <ADragonDreaming> Program exapunks inside of exapunks?
18:29 <Cepheid> It's... hard to describe, given the setup of the game.
18:34 <Cepheid> Basically, make an application that simulates an EXAPUNKS node. It runs 0, 1 or N EXAs that are "on" it. And can be configured to connect to other instances of applications to create links.

18:39 <Schism> Hah, sounds like turtles all the way down.
18:40 <Cepheid> Knowing my luck, if I did it, an OS would pop up around it that relied on EXAs to do everything.
18:41 <Cepheid> Truth is, it's becoming viable to do something that crazy. More and more CPU cores and all that.

19:38 <Cepheid> Moving EXAs via IPC would be pretty straightforward.
19:39 <Cepheid> Transmit the code, along with the contents of all the registers, including the hidden instruction pointer.
19:39 <Cepheid> The only issue is synchronization.
19:41 <Cepheid> Unlike in the game, all EXAs won't go through their instructions at the same speed and/or time.

19:47 <Cepheid> Officially, the biggest difficulty would be setting up the network, amazingly.
19:47 <Cepheid> Start the application. How do you get it to connect to another existing instance of the application?
19:47 <Cepheid> I know of IPC methods to do this, but it's more about poking one instance and telling it to connect to another instance.
19:48 *** Quits: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-gin.seo.207.187.IP) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
19:49 <Cepheid> All sorts of ways to do it. Simplest approach would be to define a network configuration ahead of time, start an instance of the application, which then spawns and connects instances according to the network configuration.
19:55 <Cepheid> Another approach is a remote application that connects to a specified instance, and allows administrative commands.
20:02 <Cepheid> Why am I even still considering this?
20:03 <ADragonDreaming> because it's an interesting puzzle to solve?

23:26 <Autumn> Every*
23:26 <Autumn> Heh. 7 years make more sense.
23:27 <LibrarianofHope> tennant is awesome
23:27 <Autumn> But, yeah, Nerd. I'm not completely sure but I feel like 2012 and 2013 were the fandoms biggest years of growth. Couldn't go two minutes with out seeing ponies back then.
23:28 <LibrarianofHope> his part as crowley in good omens is gonna epic
23:28 <LibrarianofHope> we are more like a weird subculture staple to most
23:28 <Autumn> The Weirdest.
23:29 <Autumn> But, one of the best too.
23:29 <LibrarianofHope> we are not the weirdest by a long shot
23:29 <LibrarianofHope> ivv seen stuff, bad stuff
23:30 <Autumn> Weird is relative.
23:30 <Autumn> Sure, there are bad stuff, but I mean we are the most weird normal fandom.
23:31 <Autumn> And the internet's favorite punching bag back in the old days. XP
23:32 <ADragonDreaming> Ehh... maybe.
23:32 <LibrarianofHope> that and furry, and we got mixed with furry
23:32 <Autumn> The furries got a break when the bronies showed up. :P
23:32 <ADragonDreaming> nooot really.
23:33 <Autumn> But yeah. "Anthros and ponies. "What's the different," the Internet said.
23:36 <ADragonDreaming> Schism, you around?
23:36 <Schism> Barely. I'm in a state where I'm likely to at least close my eyes for a few.
23:36 <Autumn> I wouldn't know fully though. I think MLP would have been my first real fandom or group I was part of.
23:36 <ADragonDreaming> Zachtronics game that isn't spacechem or infinifactory - which should I?
23:37 <Schism> Depends. Do you want to do hard coding, or are you interested in more along the lines of SpaceChem/Infinifactory?
23:38 <ADragonDreaming> Hmm... is there a good middle-ground one?
23:39 <Schism> Hmm. To be honest, Exapunks would probably be a good middle-ground.
23:40 <Cepheid> I would probably say that Opus would be more your speed. TIS-100, EXAPUNKS, and Shenzhen I/O are programming-related.
23:40 <Cepheid> Not that I don't think you can do it, since the language is considerably simpler than a typical programming language.
23:40 <ADragonDreaming> Bear in mind I did take and enjoy AP programming courses in high school
23:41 <Schism> Opus is very much akin to a more polished SpaceChem.
23:41 <ADragonDreaming> college comp sci course work was just ... kinda meh.

23:41 <Googie> I couldn't get into Opus
23:42 <Schism> I suggest trying this one if you're not sure about Opus. http://www.zachtronics.com/the-codex-of-alchemical-engineering/
23:42 <Schism> Though... it's an old unpolished version, and probably won't give you the right impression.
23:43 <ADragonDreaming> ...there's also the puzzle pack.
23:43 <Schism> True.
23:43 <Googie> Exapunks would probably be a good one if you want to try one of the programming oriented ones. It's got a good difficulty curve.
23:43 <Cepheid> EXAPUNKS uses a very simple assembly-style language. Like, less than 20 instructions. The EXAs are easy to work with. They are basically static in design. Different from learning different language features for different chips like in Shenzhen.
23:44 <ADragonDreaming> Aside from wanting a thing for tonight, I also need something for wednesday
23:44 <Googie> There wasn't too much of that in Shenzhen, but Shenzhen was harder IMO, since you were generally pretty space constrained.
23:44 <ADragonDreaming> I'll be working the closing shift.
23:44 <Schism> Shenzhen doesn't have that many odd features unique to a given chip, per se. It has different features based on inputs and outputs.
23:44 <Cepheid> EXAPUNKS as a result feels easier to grasp. It still has some challenge to it because it introduces new concepts over time. These concepts still rely on those static EXA units.
23:45 <ADragonDreaming> Eh, I'm used to "new concepts" - infinifactory, after all.
23:45 <Cepheid> That said you got me and Google here if you need assistance with a programming game.
23:45 <Cepheid> Er googie
23:46 <ADragonDreaming> But also Google.
23:46 <Schism> EXAPUNKS and Opus Magnum dispense with the 'you have a limited amount of space' aspect of most Zachlikes. You can create some sprawling nonsensical array to come up with the end result. This can be problematic at times.
23:46 <Schism> It's like the old joke of a painter staring at a blank canvas.

23:48 *** Autumn is now known as Autumn|BRB
23:48 <Cepheid> EXAPUNKS has some space restrictions. Number of lines of code.
23:49 <Cepheid> And maybe the spaces in the nodes. But I haven't run into either limit yet.
23:49 <Schism> Oh, that's been kept. Sorry, I thought that'd been done away with in a variety of cases.
23:49 <Cepheid> Except the one with loop unrolling.
23:49 <Cepheid> And that was only because I exploited the available space.
23:50 <Cepheid> I beat your cycle count on the ATM puzzle Googie.
23:50 * Schism should add Googie to his Steam list, on the grounds that more people give him extra points for high score listings.
23:50 <Schism> Ahem, extra /data/ points.
23:50 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:51 <ADragonDreaming> ctrl and shift don't appear to be working in the codex flash game. hm.
23:52 <ADragonDreaming> apparently they only work in conjunction. bit weird.
23:52 <Schism> It's really old; I'd not be surprised if bugs crop up now with newer browsers.
23:53 <Schism> And especially with newer versions of Flash.
23:54 * Googie buzz buzzes
23:55 <Googie> I need to go back and play Exapunks some more.
23:55 * Schism vibrates, like a foodling.
23:55 <Cepheid> Where are you up to?
23:56 <Schism> I should go back and play a little more Opus. I keep overthinking/doing things.
23:57 *** Autumn|BRB is now known as Autumn
23:59 <Cepheid> I forgot to take my aleve. Woooo headache.
