14:39 <Cepheid> Last time my mother, her mother, and my sister went gambling, they went with a couple hundred, and came back with over $3,000.

14:55 <Cepheid> Usually, yes.
14:56 <Cepheid> But I can't recall a single time my mother, her mother, and my sister have gone gambling and have come home with less than they went out.
14:56 <Cepheid> They always end up coming out with more, somehow.
14:56 <Cepheid> And often through sheer random luck.
14:56 <Cepheid> Most of the stories go along the lines of "We saw this one machine, figured 'Ah what the heck' and put a coin in, and we got the jackpot."
14:58 <LibrarianofHope> i broke the "bleep" screen of my phone, still works buts its about 6000 pesos to fix
14:58 <LibrarianofHope> heck me
14:58 <Cepheid> Huzzah, nothing like creating a tweet thread that's likely to get a lot of aggravating responses.
14:58 <Cepheid> Bah, that sucks, LibrarianofHope.
14:59 <Cepheid> ...
14:59 <Cepheid> Wait.
14:59 <Cepheid> 6000 Mexican Pesos is $410 CAD.
14:59 <Cepheid> You could practically buy a new phone for that.
14:59 <LibrarianofHope> exactly
14:59 <LibrarianofHope> im checking if its not scam price, but im guessing its fairly accurate
15:03 <Cepheid> Souns like it might be, actually. Hard to say, though.
15:03 <Cepheid> I did learn one thing about safety glass though.
15:03 <Cepheid> It freakin' hurts.
15:03 <Cepheid> I tried to disassemble my Macbook screen into just the panel.
15:03 <Cepheid> I... didn't succeed.
15:03 <Cepheid> I ended up fracturing the screen, both the safety glass cover, and the actual panel.
15:08 <Cepheid> Actually I took a loook again.
15:08 <Cepheid> The panel's fine.
15:08 <Cepheid> Just need to separate it from the rest of the frame.
15:09 <LibrarianofHope> i use the phone to write, i actually need the thingie, this is frustrating
15:09 <Cepheid> Bah.
15:10 <Cepheid> What happened, by the way?
15:10 <Cepheid> How'd you damage it?
15:10 <LibrarianofHope> im talking to the mega coropration that runs most of cellphones
15:10 <LibrarianofHope> droped it
15:11 <LibrarianofHope> its funcyional but it will fail sooner or later, might as well get it over with
15:11 <Cepheid> But yeah, companies do charge a massive markup for these components and devices.
15:11 <Cepheid> Honestly, brand-new, bleeding-edge hardware sucks for that, so nowadays with exception to my gaming PC and work laptop, I plan to buy older hardware.
15:22 <LibrarianofHope> its 5000 pesos to get a s9 plus with 24 month contract

15:27 <ADragonHoarding> Cepheid: it sounds like your family may also be benefiting from potential "loss leader" scenarios.
15:27 <Cepheid> loss leader?
15:28 <ADragonHoarding> I don't know how often this occurs, but there's a chance that, especially on digital coin machines, that if the machine has been idle for a while, it will turn out a small "win" in the initial stages, to draw a person in.
15:28 <ADragonHoarding> "Oh, hey, I won! Let's keep playing!"
15:29 <Cepheid> Oh.
15:29 <Cepheid> No.
15:29 <Cepheid> When they win the jackpot like that, they usually stop.
15:29 <ADragonHoarding> It also seems like they win and then they stop.
15:29 <ADragonHoarding> Right.
15:29 <ADragonHoarding> So the loss leader does not draw them in
15:29 <ADragonHoarding> The tactic does not work on them.
15:30 <ADragonHoarding> In other news I finished building the lander.
15:31 <Cepheid> Nice.
15:31 <ADragonHoarding> It was late, though, so I didn't actually land it.
15:31 <ADragonHoarding> I'm also not gonna be available tonight - going to visit family.
15:32 <ADragonHoarding> I did confirm, throughout this process, that we have plenty of iron.
15:32 <Cepheid> No prob.
15:32 <Cepheid> And cool.
15:32 <ADragonHoarding> I think there was something like 25000+ steel plates used.
15:32 <ADragonHoarding> plus other iron-bearing components...
15:32 <ADragonHoarding> we still have 650k ingots.
15:33 <Cepheid> Yeah, that full load I brought back might have been overkill.
15:34 <ADragonHoarding> perhaps!
15:34 <ADragonHoarding> When possible I am looking forward to descending from on high with a bunch of cobalt.
15:34 <ADragonHoarding> and then returning with a bunch of gold.
15:35 <Cepheid> That can happen, yes.
15:36 <Cepheid> Get the cobalt down there, and I can make a ship, or a better buggy to find ore.
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> yep yep
15:37 <Cepheid> Think I may actually build a mining buggy, to boot.
15:37 <Cepheid> At least, for digging up stone.
15:49 <Cepheid> Hum..
15:54 <Cepheid> ... I've been developing a headache, and I just realized why.
15:58 <Cepheid> Basically, I haven't eaten anything since 1 AM.
16:02 <Schism> Cepheid: Yes, food is good. Also, in the earlier instance, Luna decides to create a lottery. This works perfectly well until everypony realizes that the jackpot consists of millions of bits, and start mortgaging their houses.
16:02 <RazorSharpFang> Food... is something you need yes.

16:10 <Cepheid> Okay, this doesn't make sense.
16:11 <Cepheid> On Sunday, they have me doing a Sporting Life store, it's a largish store, at 7 PM in the evening.
16:11 <Cepheid> Then next morning, at 8 AM, I'm doing the back room of the store.
16:11 <Schism> That's... an interesting scheduling decision.
16:13 <Cepheid> Yeah, I just sent an e-mail off to check see if there's a mistake.
16:13 <Cepheid> Because the store is large.
16:14 <Cepheid> There's gonna be like, 20 people doing it. And unless we finish in record time, I'm not gonna get a chance to sleep.
16:17 <Schism> A double shift like that seems contrary to OHSA in many, many ways.
16:17 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's my concern.
16:18 <Cepheid> I mean, it's workable, if we're gonna get out in a reasonable time.
16:18 <Cepheid> But given the size of the store, I'm not so sure.
16:19 <Schism> Also a potential contract violation, if workers cannot be properly expected to complete the counts to any satisfaction due to microsleep and scanning the same item five times in a row.

16:47 <LibrarianofHope> why did faust got kciked put of pony anyway?
16:47 <LibrarianofHope> she made hasbro stupid large money
16:48 <Cepheid> Right, so I just figured out a way to calculate the distance between two points without using a square root.
16:49 <Cepheid> Why would I ever want to do such a thing? Has to do with limits of computing, amazingly. o3o
16:50 <Cepheid> I want to calculate massive distances, like, so large that the sqrt((DeltaX * DeltaX) + (DeltaY * DeltaY)) would break due to the multiplication.

16:50 <Cepheid> 'Cause basically, in the extreme case, such that DeltaX and DeltaY are the maximum possible values, attempting to square them would result in overflow.
16:50 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, I think it was mostly creative differences.
16:51 <LibrarianofHope> tnat tends to mean money
16:51 <Schism> True.
16:52 <Schism> Cepheid: How exactly do most boxen calculate square roots of floats these days, anyway?
16:53 <Cepheid> Hmm?
16:53 <Schism> Way back when, I seem to recall there being a lookup table.
16:53 <Schism> This caused some slight concerns when the Pentium processor was released.
16:54 <Cepheid> Heh.
16:54 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's an optimization. How it's implemented is dependent on the C library used.
16:55 <Cepheid> But there's a number of ways to do it, etc.
16:56 <Cepheid> That said, it's not that sqrt() is broken.
16:56 <Cepheid> In this case, it's just that the input might overflow.

16:57 * Schism nodnods.
16:58 <Cepheid> Here's an example of the problem: 4 = 100 in binary. Square it, you get 10000, 16. Square that, you get 100000000.
16:58 <Cepheid> Basically, the number of bits increases by a factor of 2.
16:58 <LibrarianofHope> owo
16:58 <LibrarianofHope> linguia technis yay
16:58 * LibrarianofHope omniisiahs a bunch
16:58 <Cepheid> Let's assume we have a maximum of 8 bits for the X and Y coordinates.
16:58 <Schism> This we know. And while you _can_ potentially use factorization to simplify certain things, you then get into Very Large Primes.
16:59 <Cepheid> And our X and Y value is 01111111, 127.
16:59 <Schism> And that.
16:59 <Cepheid> 127 * 127 = 16,129, 1111110000001, oops, that's more than 8 bits, we overflowed.
17:00 <Cepheid> The end-result is a distance value that will be wildly off.

17:02 *** Quits: heftig (heftig@quassel.archlinux.org) (Client exited)
17:03 <Cepheid> Start by finding the angle between the start and end point. Then calculate the sin or cosine of that angle. Then use trigonometry to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle by changing one of the trig formulas around.
17:03 <Cepheid> The length of the hypotenuse is the distance.
17:03 *** Joins: heftig (heftig@quassel.archlinux.org)
17:05 <Cepheid> Since finding the angle requires knowing both the width and height of the right triangle, and we can obtain the sine or cosine of the angle, we are left with h = height / sin(a) or h = width / cos(a).
17:06 <Cepheid> Knowing Finwe, he's gonna read this and advise a better solution that doesn't involve square roots and would be easier.
17:06 <Cepheid> Since he's the mathematician and all.

17:30 <Cepheid> 2^51 = 2251799813685248, 1 AU = 149597870700 meters. 2^51 / 1 AU = 15052.3520364869 AU. That's.... That's actually more than I need by several orders of magnitude. o3o;

21:33 <LibrarianofHope> hoi
21:33 <LibrarianofHope> im musing the annoyance of having to buy a new "bleep" cellphone.
21:34 <LibrarianofHope> which i have to, current one cracked and i write on the thing.
21:40 <lunanightwindphone> Dunno what your phone budget looks like but like I'm loving my new galaxy s10+ but it's a pricey phone
21:42 <LibrarianofHope> im getting a s9 plus, will serve my needs
21:42 <lunanightwindphone> The pixel 3a is really good too but you are still looking at a 450 dollar tag on that to my knowledge
21:42 <LibrarianofHope> the broken one is a s8 plus, so progress
21:43 <lunanightwindphone> The s9+ is a really good phone too fiance just upgraded his s9 because we wanted to have matching phones but it was a solid phone and should last you a while
21:44 <lunanightwindphone> But it is a bit fragile I reccomend going to get a strong anti shock case for it
21:44 <LibrarianofHope> yep, i have an otter case in mind
21:44 <lunanightwindphone> Walmart sells a good one under their black web lable
21:44 <LibrarianofHope> im in mexico, amazon is simplier
21:44 <LibrarianofHope> our walmarts are not good
21:44 <lunanightwindphone> Ahhhhhh yeah go for the otter box then
21:45 <lunanightwindphone> I've really come to love Walmart's blackweb line but I couldn't tell you how solid they are outside of the us
21:46 <LibrarianofHope> Mexican walmart is like the shady corner store in many places. just bigger
21:46 <lunanightwindphone> If you can wait till monday to order that case on amazon
21:47 <lunanightwindphone> Prime day is monday and tuesday and it's supposed to be world wide this year
21:47 <lunanightwindphone> And a 30 day free trial for prime is easy to get and it will work for prime day
21:51 <Cepheid> Really the more interesting part of prime day for me is to see how many hipocrites there'll be.
21:51 <LibrarianofHope> i have prime, issue here i need to get more sales in my reselling sidebiz
21:51 <lunanightwindphone> How so cepheid
21:52 <LibrarianofHope> i have to raise up 5400 mexcian pesos, which is a pain
21:52 <lunanightwindphone> That number sounds painful
21:52 <Cepheid> lunanightwindphone: A trend on Twitter, Reddit and the like is for people, including warehouse workers, to boycott and protest Amazon and it's Prime Day Sale.
21:53 <lunanightwindphone> That makes a bit of sense I guess I mean the prime day sale has to crank up the work load
21:53 <lunanightwindphone> But I was unaware I dont use much social media
21:54 <Cepheid> Yeah, but the hypocrisy is mostly in regards to the fact that many of these protestors probably use Amazon on a regular basis. After that, there's also the lack of concern over Black Friday or Boxing Day.
21:55 <lunanightwindphone> Like I begrudgingly have a facebook to keep friends up to date on my wedding date but that's all I really use it on, I have an old twitter too I think but I dont look at it my computer auto tweets when I stream but like that's all twitter is to me
21:55 <lunanightwindphone> I dont think I have a reddit lol
21:55 <lunanightwindphone> Although I love those reddit videos on YouTube
21:56 <Cepheid> I have a reddit account, but I use it primarily for cats.
