02:55 <Schism> Oh wow.  What a piece of work is Bobby Kotick.

02:56 <Cepheid> Yep.  Best year in a long time.  Time to layoff 800 people.

02:56 <Schism> Activision had a banner year, record profits, everything was absolutely golden on the financial front, he gave himself a huge bonus.  Oh, but it was below expectations, so let's lay off... yup.

07:34 <Finwe> PinkieShy: There's also Intelligence Cats, available for mere €0.39.

07:35 <Finwe> Sliding puzzles with pictures of cats.

07:35 <Finwe> The only problem is that the pieces are jumbled at random, making 50% of the puzzles unsolvable.

07:39 <Schism> Heh, a 15-slider?

07:40 <Schism> Developers really need to respect parity on those more often.

07:42 <Finwe> Schism: Looks like you can choose betwixt 9 and 15.

07:42 <Finwe> https://store.steampowered.com/app/911270/Intelligence_Cats/

07:42 <Schism> Still needs to respect parity.

07:43 <Finwe> Indeed. If you take the solved puzzle and swap two pieces, there is no solution.

07:43 <Schism> I had one of those for Windows 3.1, let you choose any size up to 81, and it at least respected parity.

07:43 <Schism> Well, 80.

07:44 <Finwe> The puzzles should be generated applying a number of feasible moves to the solved form, not at random.

07:44 <Schism> Much like a Rubik's Cube, yes.

07:44 <Finwe> Or if you want (pseudo)random solution, you should at least check for solvability.

07:45 <Finwe> s/solution/puzzle/

07:45 <Finwe> Which, as you readily stated, is equivalent with parity.

14:57 <Finwe> Starlight_Glimmer: The Fazer family was originally called Fatzer. Eduard Fatzer moved from Swizerland to Finland in 1843. His son Karl Fazer was the first to produce chocolate.

14:59 <Finwe> The recipe for Fazer Blue was received as a gift from a business partner after Karl Fazer's son Sven Fazer tended to the business partner's son who had got ill.

14:59 <Finwe> It's a Swiss recipe with cocoa, milk and whatnot.

14:59 <Finwe> Quite good chocolate, in my opinion.

15:00 * Finwe hats on Starlight_Glimmer.

15:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> On that matter:

15:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> You know racists are kind of right: white chocolate > brown chocolate > black chocolate

15:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> :3

15:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> (No clue why they keep confusing that with skin color though)

15:17 <ADragonHoarding> -_-

15:20 * Starlight_Glimmer licks ADragonHoarding

15:21 <ADragonHoarding> I am not for licking.

15:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> Then we agree to disagree

15:30 <ADragonHoarding> Let me rephrase:

15:30 <ADragonHoarding> Please do not.

15:30 <Cepheid> Back in college, I had to make a sliding puzzle game for an assignment.  I was the only one to use Schism's suggestion.  I randomized the game by applying N possible moves to it

15:31 * Starlight_Glimmer snuggles ADragonHoarding instesd

15:36 <Cepheid> It had an interesting implication.  All the others used random placement.  I was the only one to have guaranteed solutions.

15:40 <Cepheid> Parity solution would have been more efficient though.  But at the time I was not familiar with parity of puzzles.

15:57 <Cepheid> Today I tried to review SFINAE.  I worsened my concussion.

17:04 <Cepheid> I'm... getting better with handling it all, but subconsciously I still seem to focus on it to some extent.  I'm doing my best to ignore it all, but I'm still feeling all the symptoms of aggitation.

17:31 <ADragonHoarding> because they failed to remove you from the distribution lists.

17:32 <Cepheid> Clearly.

17:32 <Cepheid> Well, I know the union's planning a strike.

17:40 <Cepheid> Hum, question 6, the prof provides a truth table for a binary operator.  It's a pretty simple operator.  If either operand is 0, the result is 1.  Otherwise, it's 0.

17:41 <Cepheid> This operator, by definition, provides a NOT operator. That is, a = true, !a = false.

17:41 <Cepheid> By using the same operand in both spots, it becomes the NOT operator.

17:41 <Cepheid> From that, I can derive other operators..

17:45 <Cepheid> Aaand I just implement converse implication.

17:46 <Cepheid> And there's implication...

17:47 * Cepheid is technically cheating. He has a list of truth tables, and just needs to derive organizations of this one operator, without using any other known binary operators.

17:50 <Cepheid> Why am I doing this?  Define the symbol ↑ to be the binary operator my prof provided the truth table for.  He wants me to create a propositional statement using only the binary operator ↑, that is equivalent to (a ∧ b)  Whee boolean logic and math.

17:53 <Cepheid> So what I need then is basically a negation.

17:58 *** Joins: Fall (Fall@Pony-535.9lm.228.37.IP)

18:03 <Cepheid> (a ↑ b) ↑ (a ↑ b) = (a ∧ b).  Solved.  Whoo.

18:06 <Cepheid> Ye know, I just realized that my professors are all weird.

18:06 <Cepheid> Got some that'll debate students.

18:07 <Cepheid> Others will password protect their websites.  Some password protect, place behind a VPN, and then even password protect the PDFs themselves.

18:07 <Cepheid> Then there's Michiel, who leaves everything open for students and non-students alike to look at.

18:12 <Cepheid> Fun thing.  To solve the above problem, I built truth tables expressing all the conventional boolean algebra operators, both unary and binary.

18:13 <Cepheid> The next question following the one above is to prove that any proposition can be expressed using that particular operator.

18:13 <Cepheid> Since I got truth tables for every operator used in boolean algebra and propositional logic, I can use a brute-force method to show that it is possible to express every operator in terms of that one operator.

18:14 <Cepheid> Finwe, refresh my old memory, what kind of proof would that be, so I know how to express it in words correctly?  I don't need an example, just a name of the type of proof I'd use.

18:18 <LibrarianofHope> i was thinking in my own area that i need to be very carefull with my internet footprint

18:19 <LibrarianofHope> i want a public persona as a writer, if i leave something "offensive" a social media mob will hunt me years later

18:19 <LibrarianofHope> bleh

18:23 <Cepheid> That's only been a problem recently, and it's a movement that's receiving a lot of backlash.

18:23 <Cepheid> Because people are dredging up decades old stuff.

18:23 <LibrarianofHope> just in case

18:24 <LibrarianofHope> at any rate it would be dumb to be leaving bad stuff calling myself Of Hope

18:24 <LibrarianofHope> healthy brand management

18:26 <Cepheid> I would prefer people point out flaws in my logic, among other things.  Yes, it's a risky proposition, but there are things I still need to learn.

18:26 <Cepheid> And there are cases where my logic is just outright flawed, because I didn't consider an opposing view.

18:26 <LibrarianofHope> thats very healthy

18:27 <Cepheid> That's actually *WHY* I want to debate, but... because the way some folks act, it's a tricky thing for me to do.

18:27 <LibrarianofHope> more so for more introverted people as us

18:27 <Cepheid> So my approach to learning is to observe the conversation.

18:27 <Cepheid> I get pulled in because I am an emotional person.  I react using emotion and guts.

18:27 <Cepheid> Which is a thing I need to learn to control.

18:27 <LibrarianofHope> i like to talk about my plot and charcters with my bro

18:28 <LibrarianofHope> least you admit it

18:28 <Cepheid> Because it always ends up putting me in a bad mood, often one involving self-hatred because I made a mistake somewhere.

18:28 <LibrarianofHope> you are not an entitled moron who thinks they are absolute

18:28 <Cepheid> Even if I learn from it, it takes me time to recover, because I screwed up.

18:28 <Cepheid> There is a persistent trait that I cannot suppress or deal with.  I've tried.

18:29 <Cepheid> I must atone.  For what, I do not know.  Any time I make a mistake, be it a mistake in logic, or simple aggressive behaviour, the sense of need to atone grows.

18:29 <LibrarianofHope> i think you think less of yourself than you should

18:29 <LibrarianofHope> you are a pretty great guy, problems and all

18:32 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, my mental health is probably what makes me act this way.

18:32 <Cepheid> I know I shouldn't be so hard on myself, so strict and formal and the like.

18:32 <Cepheid> But if I act aloof, I incur problems that people harass me for, or I harass myself for.

18:34 <Cepheid> Also, awareness of how I've felt in the past is likely a big contributor.

18:34 <Cepheid> I am aware of how doing something wrong can make me feel.  I enter a depressive/angry-at-self cycle for what I have done.  I punish myself.

18:35 <Cepheid> So the best approach to counter that is to take in the fact that I screwed up, apologize, and back out of whatever I screwed up in.

18:36 <Cepheid> That would imply what I am atoning for is my behaviour from the past.  I am not sure if it is local to within a few years or my entire life.  I'm assuming the latter, because I feel I must atone for certain things I did when I was say, 7 years old.

21:21 <Schism> Some very nice adjustments here.  https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-281

21:21 <Cepheid> Yeah.

21:21 <Cepheid> The technical details are impressive.

21:22 <Cepheid> I understand all of it, mysteriously.

21:22 <Cepheid> I will *NOT* be using compression in my game.  No need, really.

21:22 <Cepheid> I'm displaying a total of 64 x 48 tiles per layer, or 3,072 tiles.  That's peanuts compared to what Factorio can display.

21:22 <Cepheid> And only a small subsection of tiles will ever be utilized.

21:23 <Cepheid> Hey RazorSharpFang, want to help me confirm something?

21:24 <Cepheid> Actually, nah.  Nevermind.  I'd have to publish it over the net, and I dun want to get into potential trouble, so I'll just assume I got it right.

21:24 <Cepheid> In fact, a good way to test would be to implement it and confirm.

21:26 <LibrarianofHope> im starting to thing factorio is a trick to get programmers to invent stuff

21:27 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, ehe. Testing's important. :3

21:34 <Cepheid> Yep.  Does what I think.

21:34 <Cepheid> It's a log(n) algorithm for finding the smallest number in a set of size 2^k, where k >= 0

21:36 * Ali doesn't understand that FFF too technical

21:37 <Cepheid> Yeah, it was written entirely for graphics programmers.

21:37 <Ali> The only thing I understood

21:37 <Ali> Is hey we found a way to make the game run smoother

21:38 <Cepheid> To put it simply, it discusses the problem caused by a bug in rendering smoke ingame, and then goes into explanation about how their artwork is taking up too much graphics card memory, causing the game to slow down.  As well as how they fixed it.

21:42 <Cepheid> I can see a pattern.

21:47 <Cepheid> Actually, I misunderstood what it was asking.  I understand now.

22:06 <Cepheid> And if one looks at the sequence, they can see that the result of T(n) is equal to n - 1.

22:06 <Cepheid> And thus i solved this silly problem.
