04:04 <ADragonDreaming> why for ask?

04:04 * DashedRainbows flops on Dranae

04:05 <Dranae> Cuz I was gonna talk about a Dark Heresy campaign

04:06 <ADragonDreaming> well, feel free... anyway?

04:07 <Dranae> Doesn't make sense without understanding 40K in general

04:08 <ADragonDreaming> oh, well, 40k I know.

08:23 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony.

08:24 <Dranae> AHA

08:24 <Dranae> YOU

08:24 <Dranae> Finwe, have you ever played UnReal World?

08:24 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz; Mlles DashedRainbows and Sleeping_Nightmares; Messrs Schism, Cepheid and Dranae.

08:24 <Finwe> o7

08:25 <Finwe> Dranae: I don't recall that name, so most probably not.

08:26 <Finwe> At the moment, I'm a fair way into Chapter 2 (or was it 3) of Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn Enhanced Edition. o3o

08:26 <Dranae> You should try it

08:27 <Dranae> Tis free

08:27 <Dranae> And Finnish

08:28 <Finwe> " UnReal World is a unique low-fantasy roguelike game set in the far north during the late Iron-Age."

08:28 <Finwe> Sounds interesting enough.

08:28 <Dranae> It's set in totally-not-actually Finland

08:28 <Finwe> I've played NetHack and Dungeon Crawl quite a lot.

08:29 <Finwe> And some Ancient Domains of Mystery as well.

08:29 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

08:29 <Dranae> https://www.unrealworld.fi/wiki/images/1/1e/World_map.png

08:31 * ConfusionRift tries to play a game, but the controller now is giving him double inputs on one side. "For... flip... sake..."

08:31 <Finwe> It has obviously ceased being free, the latest free version is from about one year ago.

08:31 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7

08:31 <Dranae> Nope

08:31 <Dranae> It's just that long between dev cycles.

08:32 <Finwe> The newest version is available on Steam, but it costs €7.69.

08:32 <Finwe> Not too expensive, though.

08:33 <Dranae> I don't believe tis different

08:33 <Dranae> Or at least not too much.

08:35 <Finwe> "UrW can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."

08:35 <Finwe> But of course.

08:36 <Finwe> Always hold down ctrl when doing this. :/

08:37 <Finwe> Ah, a Kalevalan main theme played on kantele. o3o

08:40 <Dranae> :D

08:41 <Dranae> Also, Finwe, protip

08:41 <Dranae> Carefully chase animals

08:41 <Dranae> Combine running and walking

08:41 <Dranae> When they are breathless on examination

08:41 <Dranae> Walk over and beat them to death with a rock

08:41 <Dranae> This will keep the hide as pristine as possible

08:41 <Dranae> Increasing its value and potency

08:42 <Cepheid> Today is gonna be a harsh day.

08:44 <Cepheid> So, it turns out that I misjudged when an assignment is due, so now I have to do the complete thing before tomorrow evening.  Ah well, not the first time, won't be the last time either.

08:45 *** Joins: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-lcj.0ji.9.61.IP)

08:48 * Finwe noms on Cepheid's assignment.

08:51 <Cepheid> It's nothing spectacular.

08:51 <Cepheid> Create a scene graph, render some stars, provide a camera that can move around using newtonian physics.

08:51 <Cepheid> Stuff I've done already, mostly because at the moment I'm the only one working on the group project.

08:52 <Cepheid> Anyways, shower time.

09:01 <Finwe> After the volleyball match, yes.

09:14 * Cepheid figured out quaternions in the shower. Sort of.

09:18 <Cepheid> At least, how they relate to graphical programming.

09:19 <Finwe> They are not entirely unlike covariant tensors.

09:20 <Cepheid> That doesn't explain anything to me, as tensors have not been covered in any of my math courses.

09:24 <Cepheid> In any case, I now understand why they're better for applying rotations in 3D graphics.

09:24 <Dranae> Also, Finwe

09:24 <Dranae> Somewhere or another

09:24 <Dranae> I have an old-as-heck kantele

09:25 <Dranae> With a bunch of equally old-as-heck tabs to play little-kid lullabies

09:26 <Cepheid> I was gonna leave for school early, but I think I'll stick to my schedule as best as possible from here on out.

09:28 <Cepheid> Anyhow, quaternions and their usefulness:  It has to do with being able to lerp them, alongside the fact that they also solve the gimbal lock problem, are more compact, etc, etc, etc.

09:29 * Finwe o3o!'s at Dranae.

09:30 <Finwe> I can only play flute, recorder and bagpipe.

09:30 <Cepheid> I can't express the concept in words, though.  Easier done using visuals.

09:32 <Dranae> It'd be a heck of a stretch to say I can play it.

09:32 <Dranae> I can pluck the right strings with a paper tab behind them to show me where

09:32 * Finwe Väinämöinen hats on Dranae.

09:32 <Cepheid> I can't play any instruments.

09:33 <Dranae> I don't know what that is

09:33 <Dranae> I do know that I have bludgeoned a bear to death in URW with my bare hands

09:33 <Finwe> Dranae: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JIrpCq6EtLk/Vi9jLKryNbI/AAAAAAAAAEU/-dzFo2wr8u0/s1600/Vainamoinen.jpg

09:33 <Dranae> And once I used a massive fire and careful chasing in order to kill a pack of wolves

09:35 <Finwe> Dranae: It's a linen cap with three ribbons, one sewn around the rim, and one along the sagittal and one along the transverse plane.

09:35 <Dranae> I can't be sure of it

09:35 <Dranae> but I think those show up in-game?

09:35 <Dranae> Sadly no smithing without a (very popular) mod

09:36 <Dranae> Also, don't bother eating any mushrooms

09:36 <Dranae> There are two kinds that are poison, and one basically kills you no matter what

09:36 <Dranae> And you won't find out until a few hours/day later

09:36 <Finwe> Finnish scouts use one with inverse colours: https://api.europeana.eu/api/v2/thumbnail-by-url.json?size=w400&type=IMAGE&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kantapuu.fi%2Ffi%2Fviewimage.php%3Fobjimg%3Dtrue%26id%3D339047%26imgres%3Dlres

09:38 <Cepheid> I want a good hat to wear, myself.  Would probably help if it was the type that had like, a good longish brim for my eyes.

09:38 <Cepheid> I'll need one for this winter, as I've been maintaining my bald head as of late.

09:39 *** Joins: danwellby (danwellby@The.lone.griffon)

09:39 <Dranae> Cepheid, you want a cattleman hat

09:39 <Dranae> AKA a cowboy hat

09:39 <Finwe> Although in probably the most famous Väinämöinen painting he is wearing a dark cap with red ribbons: https://kansakunnanomaisuutta.fi/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/gallen-kallela-Aino_01.jpg

09:40 <Dranae> So it's named after what appears to be a deity?

09:40 <Dranae> Are they related to Perun by any chance?

09:40 <Dranae> Only Finnish deity I know of

09:41 <Finwe> Väinämöinen was a wizard or a sorcerer of sort.

09:41 <Cepheid> The only problem I have with hats is where to put them when I'm not using them, or not allowed to use them.  The former is more easily resolved with a hat rack of some sort.  The latter...

09:41 <Finwe> The only ones I know of are Ilmatar, Ukko, Pekko, Tapio and Ahti.

09:41 <Dranae> The Norse word would've been seidr, then, yes?

09:42 <Cepheid> That's more of an issue with the university.

09:42 <Cepheid> They have silly rules about hats in classrooms.

09:42 <Cepheid> Some of it being cases of "The professors find hats in the classroom disrespectful."

09:42 <Dranae> snrk

09:42 <Cepheid> Others being "Students can't see past the hat."

09:43 <Dranae> I wore a hat to school once to hide the fact I had a gigantic goose egg so bad it changed the shape of my head, visibly

09:43 <Dranae> Teacher yelled at me

09:43 <Dranae> 'Nothing covering your face or head'

09:43 <Dranae> 'So why're you wearing those gigantic ridiculous ladybug glasses'

09:43 <Cepheid> Heh.

09:43 <Dranae> Have I mentioned I have never ever managed NOT to snark off toward authority

09:43 * ConfusionRift hmmms, and tries the Steam PS4 controller support.

09:43 <Cepheid> Glasses are usually an exception for vision purposes.

09:44 <Dranae> Nah

09:44 <Dranae> Hers were an affectation

09:44 <Cepheid> Ah.

09:44 <Cepheid> Given the whole ladybug thing, yeah.

09:44 <ConfusionRift> ...now it works...

09:44 <Cepheid> That said, I'd also wear sunglasses in the room.

09:44 <Cepheid> I'm not sure if it's because my eyes have adapted to darkness from sitting in a darkened room most of my life, but light is bothersome to my eyes.

09:45 <Dranae> I was told if I didn't attend prom, I would fail

09:45 <Dranae> So I went to prom after taking a six-pack off my dad

09:45 <Cepheid> Yeah, I get told a lot of weird stuff by the universities and colleges.

09:45 <Dranae> poured the whole thing on myself

09:45 <Dranae> Showed up in my rattiest hoodie, wifebeater, and jean shorts

09:46 <Cepheid> "No chewing gum in class."  "No hats in class."  "No punching walls."  "Go to the hospital or we'll kick you out of the program of study."

09:46 <Dranae> That last one

09:46 <Dranae> whut

09:46 <Finwe> Dranae: Seiðrmaþr would be the word, I think.

09:46 <Cepheid> It's happened about five or six times in the last year now.

09:47 <Cepheid> Basically, I have meltdowns caused by stress, overexhertion and incessant thoughts that creep in over time.

09:47 <Finwe> Seiðmaþr, even.

09:47 <Cepheid> And the end-result is I'm usually handled by security.

09:47 <Finwe> Or seiðkona for a woman.

09:47 <Dranae> Seidrmathr is a witc - ah, I see

09:47 <Cepheid> Who then tells me that if I don't choose to admit myself to the hospital, they'll force the issue either through police, or threatening to kick me out of my program of study.

09:48 <Finwe> Maþr is the word for man.

09:49 <Dranae> See, I knew that seidr was 'magic'

09:49 <Dranae> But I thought seidrmathr was a witch

09:50 <Finwe> A male witch, yes. Would that be a warlock, then?

09:51 <Cepheid> No.

09:51 <Cepheid> The word "warlock" effectively means "Oath Breaker"

09:51 <Cepheid> A male witch is just that, a witch.

09:51 <Cepheid> Society for whatever reason, has associated witchcraft specifically with women, for some reason.

09:52 <Cepheid> This is based somewhat on my studies of modern witchcraft, plus a bit of research into the the past of witchcraft.

09:52 <Finwe> "In early modern Scots, the word came to be used as the male equivalent of witch."

09:52 <Cepheid> Ah.

09:52 <Finwe> I see.

09:53 <Finwe> But yes, what in OE would have been "wicce".

09:53 <Dranae> Uhhh

09:53 <Cepheid> But yes, while modern society would probably call a male witch a warlock, it is generally considered inappropriate, and better to just use the term "witch."

09:53 <Dranae> IIRC, a warlock, or oathbreaker, in Old Norse, would have been a 'nithing'

09:53 <Finwe> And seiðkona would be wicca then.

09:53 <Cepheid> Witch itself is *SUPPOSED* to carry no connotation of gender, but it does, for some reason.

09:53 <Dranae> Anything he did would have been niddingsvark

09:54 <Dranae> Cepheid, blame King James

09:54 <Cepheid> Heh.

09:54 <Dranae> Dead serious

09:54 <Dranae> See, the original Hebrew word means 'harmful caster of spells'

09:54 <Dranae> AKA black magic

09:54 <Finwe> Varð-lokkur in Old Norse is caller of spirits.

09:55 <Dranae> By the time King James wrote his version of the Bible, all magic was evil.

09:55 <Dranae> King James had a thing about witches

09:55 <Dranae> So

09:55 <Dranae> That's how we get Exodus 22:18

09:55 <Finwe> But it probably has not much to do with the OE word wærloga.

09:56 * Cepheid is hesitant to go in the direction of discussing Christianity in general. He does not necessarily hold the best views of it, which can... create conflict.

09:56 <Dranae> Finwe, isn't old language fun

09:56 <Finwe> Indeed.

09:57 <Finwe> I actually studied classical Latin before mathematics.

09:57 <Dranae> exercitus noster est magnus, Persicus inquit!

09:57 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I'm mixed about studying stuff in general.

09:57 <Cepheid> I prefer self-study, but that doesn't get me degrees or diplomas.

09:58 <Cepheid> Ironically, a majority of my dislike of formal study has less to do with the difficulty, and more just...  How it's done.

09:58 * Finwe awards a catkeeper diploma to Cepheid.

09:58 <Cepheid> There are a few big problems I have with formal education as a whole that makes it hard for me to focus on studies.

09:59 <Cepheid> First off, between each and every semester, there's a period of about a month, to five months, where we learn nothing, do nothing, etc.

09:59 <Cepheid> The campuses shut down, and I can't get inside them, for the most part.

09:59 <Cepheid> So I lose my usual office for doing work, since working at home is impossible for me, as I have an addiction to video games.

10:00 <Cepheid> On top of that...  The information I need is just provided too slowly over a period of time.

10:00 <Cepheid> It took three weeks, at two lectures a week, to learn about something I could have figured out in a day or two of self-study.

10:01 <Cepheid> Formal education's too slow.  It gives us unreasonably long periods to learn X, Y, Z and do A, B, and C.

10:01 <Cepheid> It actively encourages being lazy, taking your time, etc.

10:02 <Dranae> agreed

10:02 <Cepheid> There's also issues of fairness involved.

10:02 <Cepheid> Faculty and admin talk up and down about fairness and such, but there are problems.

10:02 <Cepheid> I stated this the other day, I believe, but to quickly reiterate..

10:03 <Cepheid> I have 22-23 years or so experience programming, and I have a prior diploma.  It's not fair to the rest of the students to group me up with a pair of students who, up until the start of their education, had never written a computer program before.

10:03 <Dranae> It took me a whole five hours to figure out how the heck to pin down a variable in algebra and solve for it

10:03 <Dranae> So please dear fluffy Lord

10:04 <Cepheid> I should, legitimately, be cordoned off on my own to balance it.

10:04 <Dranae> did we have to spend two

10:04 <Dranae> freaking

10:04 <Dranae> weeks

10:04 <Dranae> on the subject

10:04 <Cepheid> Tell me about it.

10:04 <Cepheid> Gamedev spent those three weeks I mentioned earlier on representations of models.

10:04 <Cepheid> Parametric and non-parametric.

10:05 <Cepheid> And even worse, confused a majority of students in the process.

10:05 <Dranae> Let me give you an example of how I got treated in math

10:05 <Dranae> I rarely, if ever

10:05 <Dranae> showed my work

10:05 <Dranae> I never used a calculator

10:05 <Cepheid> The #1 complaint about assignment one from students was the use of 36 vertices to represent a cube.

10:05 <Dranae> My usual math teacher disagreed with this, but allowed it as long as I could explain it

10:05 <Cepheid> Er, from the TA*

10:06 <Dranae> but

10:06 <Dranae> you only need eight? Unless I'm mistaken?

10:06 <Cepheid> Yes.

10:06 <Cepheid> But the professor explained a topic that confused students.

10:06 <Dranae> Anyway, we got a sub one day

10:06 <Dranae> She handed out a test that was, in all honesty, probably a week ahead of time

10:07 <Dranae> Just so she didn't have to actually teach

10:07 <Cepheid> He explained normals, how normals are specific to each vertex and associated face, etc.

10:07 <Cepheid> So students ended up thinking that, for assignment purposes, normals were required.

10:07 <Cepheid> But because of the way it was expressed, they thought they needed individual vertices, each with their own normals, for each triangle.

10:07 <Cepheid> So what should have been 8 vertices, became 36.

10:07 * Dranae slams skull into floor

10:07 <Dranae> eurgh

10:08 <Dranae> So

10:08 <Dranae> Sub sees me turn my test in first

10:08 <Dranae> I have done no shown work

10:08 <Dranae> just put answers dow

10:08 <Dranae> I get called in to the principal's office during lunch

10:08 <Dranae> I spend three. Freaking. Periods. In the office.

10:08 <Dranae> Explaining that I am not cheating, I am doing the math in my head

10:09 <Cepheid> Ah yes, that old issue.

10:09 <Cepheid> Beyond just you know, showing you know how to do it, there's other reasons for showing one's work.

10:09 <Dranae> well see

10:10 <Dranae> that's the thing

10:10 <Cepheid> Not sure about Finwe's field, but in mine, *ESPECIALLY* in mine, showing your work is important.

10:10 <Dranae> Sub continued to rant and rave

10:10 <Dranae> That because I was writing down the answers w/o showing work

10:10 <Dranae> I was cheating

10:10 <Dranae> even if I could subsequently fill in the necessary work

10:10 <Dranae> Eventually principal says that it's just part of my IEP and it's fine

10:10 <Cepheid> Because oftentimes, when you design a new algorithm, and make a claim as to worst, average or best-case performance, you have to perform a lot of math, then do a lot of logic stuff, to break it down and show that yes, it achieves this level of performance.

10:11 <Dranae> True, but algorithms ain't algebra

10:12 <Finwe> When you write a mathematical proof, the why part is the important thing, as we often know the answer prior to that.

10:13 <Dranae> But like

10:13 <Cepheid> They ask you to do it early on to get you into the habit of doing it in the first place.

10:13 <Dranae> when you're doing  2x+6=-2

10:14 <Cepheid> I don't like it any more than you do, especially since there's some extreme cases.

10:14 <Dranae> whoops

10:14 <Dranae> added a -

10:14 <Dranae> Instead of a 1

10:15 <Cepheid> Like, having to write down "2x + 6 = 1" and then having to write out "2(3 + 4x) + 6 = 1" and then "6 + 8x + 6 = 1" and so on and so on.  Some are okay with skipping obvious steps.  Others expect that each and every single step, explicitly, is shown.  Even if, in the end, your answer is up to two and a half pages long.

10:15 <Dranae> Yeah but I can just read it

10:15 <Dranae> and spill the answer out

10:15 <Dranae> and move on

10:17 <Cepheid> I've decided this week will be spent on working on my own schoolwork instead of schoolwork for my colleagues who continue to do ****-all.

10:17 <Dranae> yep

10:17 <Dranae> Leave 'em to dry

10:18 <Dranae> It's what I used to do

10:18 <Cepheid> I don't want to, but it's gotten annoying.

10:18 <Cepheid> I spent most of last week working on the group project to keep us up to speed on it.

10:18 <Cepheid> They worked on their assignment 3 for gamedev.

10:18 <Cepheid> I haven't started on it yet, because as stated, I spent all of last week on the group project for gamedev.

10:18 <Dranae> I once told my teammates in history Jeopardy if they didn't at least try to answer something

10:18 <Dranae> I would let them bomb

10:18 <Cepheid> Which they haven't touched yet.

10:18 <Cepheid> And guess what?  Guess when assignment 3 is due

10:21 <Cepheid> It's due tomorrow evening.

10:21 <Cepheid> Fortunately, I work great under stress, so it's moot anyways, but I'm not happy.

10:21 <Finwe> Dranae: Here's a rudimentary calculus problem for you: compute the integral of exp(-x^2) over the real line.

10:21 <Dranae> Finwe, two things

10:22 <Dranae> Well, three things

10:22 <Dranae> One

10:22 <Dranae> It has been basically fourteen years since I last put actual effort into learning

10:22 <Dranae> Two

10:22 <Dranae> I never did get into any calculus classes.

10:22 <Dranae> Three

10:22 <Dranae> Trigonometry, and calculus, tie my brain into knots and beat it with broken glass scourges.

10:23 <Finwe> :3

10:23 <Cepheid> Calculus isn't that difficult, to be honest.

10:23 * Finwe patpats Dranae.

10:23 <Cepheid> Also, trig and calc are different things.

10:23 <Cepheid> While calc does involve some trig, it's mostly about how to apply calculus to the trigonometric functions.

10:23 <Cepheid> It is not a direct requirement.

10:24 <Cepheid> No, the thing you should be terrified of is imaginary numbers, or complex numbers as they are being called these days.

10:25 <Cepheid> If you have no idea what that is, it's mathematics involving the square root of a negative number.

10:32 <Cepheid> You know, I should create a small, portable app that can be used to visualize quaternions and how they work in 3D graphics.

10:33 <Finwe> Imaginary numbers are just a vector subspace of complex numbers.

10:34 <Cepheid> I know, I know.  It's just the complexity comes when you start throwing it into other fields, and inconsistently use it.

10:37 <Finwe> First you have the natural numbers and addition.

10:37 <Finwe> To get a group with addition as the group operation, you need negative numbers.

10:38 <Finwe> Expand with those and you have the set of integers, which is a group with + as the group operation and 0 as the neutral element.

10:38 <Finwe> Then introduce multiplication e.g. as a shorthand notation for repeated addition.

10:39 <Finwe> Then you have a ring (Z,+,x), right?

10:41 *** Quits: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

10:41 <Cepheid> I have no idea what these rings are.  I hear about them but no one evet bothers to explain it in general terminology.  It is always excessively complex terminology from areas of math I haven't yet learned.

10:41 <Finwe> (Z,+) is the underlying Abelian group, and multiplication is associative and distributive over the Abelian group operation.

10:42 <Cepheid> And what is an Abelion group?

10:43 <Finwe> It's a commutative group in which every element has an inverse element.

10:43 <Finwe> Named after the Norwegian mathematician Niels Abel.

10:44 <Finwe> Umm, inverse elements are not required.

10:44 <Finwe> That would be a field.

10:45 <Cepheid> That's fine and dandy, but I don't know what any of that means.  Though I think I can infer it to a degree.

10:45 <Cepheid> I assume the elements of the groups are basically mathematical operations.  Thus, if there is addition, the inverse would be subtraction.  Multiplication and division.

10:46 <Finwe> Commutative means that it makes no difference in which order you apply the group operation.

10:46 <Finwe> If the operation is +, that would mean that a + b = b + a.

10:46 <Cepheid> So division and multiplication would be one group?

10:46 <Cepheid> Because it generally doesn't matter about the order.

10:47 <Cepheid> a * b / c = b / c * a

10:47 <Cepheid> The only thing that matters here is that c is not zero.  Speaking of...

10:48 <Cepheid> Is there any special mathematics revolving around division by zero?

10:48 <Cepheid> Or is it completely useless?

10:49 <Finwe> It's just not defined.

10:49 <Cepheid> Given that the square root of a negative number is not defined in the real set, but yet has an entire field dedicated to it..

10:50 <Cepheid> I'm surprised division by zero doesn't have something similar.

10:51 <Cepheid> I imagine it has been researched but nothing came of it.

10:51 <Finwe> For a structure (X, +) to be group, you'd require a + b to be in X if both a and b are in X, that a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c, that there is an element x in X for which x + a = a for every a in X, and that for each a in X there is an element -a for which a + (-a) = x.

10:53 <Finwe> So I think that division and nonzero rational numbers would form a group with 1 as the neutral element.

10:53 <Finwe> Or would it?

10:54 <Cepheid> Mmm.  Finwe, question.  Why did you go for a PhD in math?  What is your ultimate goal with it?  Research?  Working in a math-heavy field?  Or teaching?  Or just because?

10:54 <Finwe> Associativity probably will not work.

10:55 *** Quits: Jackie2 (Jackie@Pony-lcj.0ji.9.61.IP) (Connection closed)

10:55 <Finwe> 1 / (2/3) = 3/2, and that is not the same as (1/2)/3 = 1/6.

10:56 <Finwe> Multiplication and nonzero rationals is a group, though.

10:57 <Finwe> The other underlying structure of a ring is called a monoid.

10:58 <Finwe> You have an identity element and associativity, but not necessarily inverse elements.

10:58 <Finwe> It's been quite long since I last did abstract algebra.

10:59 <Jackie> Finwe, do you find SciPy useful?

11:00 <Finwe> I've never used it, meaning that I cannot, but for anyone familiar with Python it is most certainly useful.

11:01 <Jackie> I like how Jupyter can run on Termux

11:03 <Jackie> Just wondering. Is Linux still a good platform to program?

11:03 <Finwe> Better than most of the alternatives, I think.

11:04 <Jackie> As in, programming in the environment

11:04 <Finwe> What do you need? Emacs or vim and a compiler.

11:06 <Finwe> I need to go, I have a volleyball match where I'm supposed to be playing starting soon.

11:08 *** Joins: darkdoomer (kayanamasha@Pony-drmsa3.rev.numericable.fr)

11:10 <Cepheid> Arguable.  There are problems with all three major OSes for development that make it a pain in the butt.

11:12 <Cepheid> Linux is subject to it's own variant of the DLL hell problem.  Windows has no specific organization for libraries and the like.  MacOS X requires an Apple computer.  BSDs are subject to the same problems as Linux.

11:12 <Cepheid> Linux also, like Windows, has ABI breakages on occasion.

11:18 <Cepheid> So which platform is best depends mostly on target audience and personal preference for tools, IDE and such.

11:18 <Cepheid> Fortunately, the situation is relatively simple for me now.

11:19 <Cepheid> VSCode or Atom for editor.  C++17 or C# 8.0-compatible compiler, and I am good to go.

11:20 *** Quits: darkdoomer (kayanamasha@Pony-drmsa3.rev.numericable.fr) (Connection closed)

11:20 <Cepheid> BSD might be a problem for C++ though.  Most variants as I understand prefer to use secure, tested versions of compilers.  This means earlier versions which have limited support for newer standards.

11:21 *** Joins: darkdoomer (kayanamasha@Pony-drmsa3.rev.numericable.fr)

11:22 * ConfusionRift pets DashedRainbows.

11:24 <Cepheid> That said I've moved to C# more because there is an adhered-to standard.  And it tends to be consistent across platforms now, with very few exceptions.  That said it does need improvement on the functionality front with .NET.  But slowly, that is improving.

11:25 * DashedRainbows raises her hooves

11:25 <Cepheid> I want to restart my X11 effort.  But I get the feeling it might also be a good idea to look into Wayland.  Assuming I can ever get it working.

11:27 <Cepheid> nVidia has decided to be a bag of *YAYs* regarding support for Wayland.

11:28 <Cepheid> So I can't test it on my PC.  And my laptop...  Not sure.

11:50 <Jackie> lol

11:51 <Jackie> Just have to code the ingredienfs

11:51 <Jackie> *ingredients

11:51 <Cepheid> Not that difficult to do, really.

11:53 <Jackie> Graphical is impossible

11:53 <Jackie> So I think text based is suitable

11:53 <Cepheid> It mostly depends on the complexity of how the crafting system works.  Do the players select the ingredients and number, and hope the result comes out good?  Or do they pick from a list of known recipes?  Or perhaps both?

11:54 <Jackie> 1. Each ingredient has a spoil value

11:54 <Jackie> The nearer to 0, the better

11:54 <Jackie> 2. Recipes are made from a JSON file

11:55 <Jackie> With the ingredients being JSON files too

11:56 <Jackie> I know making a cooking/baking sim as a text game is stupid

15:44 <Cepheid> Allll I want to do is rant, rave, and rage.  I don't want to.  But I will.  Because I have no control over myself.  An endless, vicious, repeating cycle.  I try to stop it.  I try to control it.  But in the end I just push it on anyway.

15:48 <Cepheid> Took all my meds.  I know I did.  But it doesn't matter.  For reasons known and unknown, all I want to do is beat myself up.  But people don't let me.  So I want someone else to beat me up.  But no one will because that's assault.  I want people to punish me.  Make me feel guilty.  Like I committed a crime.  But no one will, because I haven't done anything to deserve it.

15:49 <Cepheid> I don't have time for this.  I have work to do.  Yeah, I'm behind on it, it's my fault, I get it.  Stop harassing me you damned emotions.  Piss off.  Go bother someone else.  Let me get to work.

15:50 <Cepheid> But nah.  Gotta have a broken amygdala.  A broken brain.  That keeps doing this OVER AND OVER.  Never leaving me alone.

15:51 <Cepheid> I get that I put myself in this position.  I get that I am responsible for my screwups.  But yet it persists.  This constant need to suffer.  This constant need to punish.  Is the fact that I am strapped for time not enough to appease it?

15:52 <Cepheid> Is the consequence of lower grades not enough?  Of course it isnt.  It never is with me.

15:52 <Cepheid> I can't keep doing this.  This repetetive cycle of screwing up and then hating on myself endlesy.  But you know what wouls really help?

15:53 <Cepheid> If I wasnt always stressed.  If I wasn't always hating myself over things I did a week ago.  A month ago.  A year ago.  Things that I keep doing because my brain keeps repeating the same thing over and over and interfering with my abikity to function.

15:54 <Cepheid> Gods I don't even know why I'm ranting.  In two hours time I'll be right back at square one anyways.  Might as well just let it all build up and cause me to punch a wall already.

16:03 <Cepheid> I want to admit myself to security again because it's the only control I have right now.

16:03 <Cepheid> But if I do that, I'll fulfill the prophecy of being a screwup.

16:07 <ADragonDreaming> From a different perspective, realizing you're in a spiral and putting yourself in a position to control that spiral is the opposite of being a screwup

16:07 <Cepheid> But I can't stop the spiral.  I tried.

16:08 <Cepheid> Look at the last friggen week for heavens sake.  I had it all planned, I was to get this done, get that done, and what did I do?  I didn't even remotely follow it.  Instead i just used the excuse that I was sick to slack off like every other time.

16:08 <Cepheid> I can't stop the spiral even when I am aware of it and try to fix it.

16:08 <ADragonDreaming> Put less obliquely: I would not view putting yourself under supervision, if you recognize that's needed, as being a screwup

16:09 <Cepheid> I don't have time.

16:09 <Cepheid> In truth I have no real solution.

16:10 <Cepheid> If I don't admit myself, I'm going to screw up the exam.  But if I do, I'm going to miss tyhe exam and n9thing good will happen either way.  In the end I screw up.

16:10 <Cepheid> If I was smart, I would stop slacking off, be a good student, and actually study, but naaaah.  Had to sleep for for 20 hours a day.  Had to work on all the wrong things.  Blame other people.

16:11 <Cepheid> I am incapable of functioning properly because I am a lazy scumbag asshole.

16:11 <Cepheid> I am the worst kind of person to be alive.

16:12 <ADragonDreaming> I don't believe that.

16:12 <Cepheid> I w9uld rather just stop being an annoyance or a burden upon everything but thats not the correct route.

16:12 <Cepheid> How many times is this going to happen?

16:12 <ADragonDreaming> Do you have a therapist?

16:12 <Cepheid> How many times a. i going to repeat this vicious cycle?  I can't live like this.  I don't want to.

16:13 <Cepheid> No.  Because there aren't any available to take me on.

16:14 <Cepheid> And the bloody university doesn't 5ake me seriously because no matter ahst I do I always look like a sane and calm individual.

16:14 <Cepheid> I mean for crying out loud I told them I was going to injure myself and they just fucking ignored me.

16:15 <Cepheid> This university doesn't care.  The hospitals don't care.  No one friggen listens to me.  Instead I just repeat this over and over.  Then I calm down and look like nothing happened.

16:15 <Cepheid> Then the next week the same gods damned thing happens again.

16:16 <Cepheid> I want it to stop.  I fucking hate this.  I don't want to live like this.  And as is, I don't want to be alive not because I think I'm a burden or anything, no.

16:16 <Cepheid> I don't want yo be alive if this, this endless fucking cycle, is what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life.

16:17 <Cepheid> You know what?  Screw 5his.  I'm calling security.  This is getting stupid.  I can't do my exam this way and nothing good is gonna come of it even if I calmed down.

17:20 <DashedRainbows> I'm barely managing three classes

17:20 <DashedRainbows> I just don't see it

17:21 <Cepheid> There's more than just myself at stake as well.

17:21 <Cepheid> My mental health meltdowns are taking a toll on those around me.

17:21 <DashedRainbows> unless you are being verbally or physically abused school is meh

17:21 <Cepheid> "Do your exam then go to the Civic Hospital, you need help that mom and I can't give you." My dad in regards to my meltdown.

17:22 <DashedRainbows> meh

17:22 <DashedRainbows> my dad: "just go home you'll be fine"

17:23 <DashedRainbows> not exactly suicidal more like just wanted to stop dialysis because I was tired of life

17:23 <DashedRainbows> obviously that's not an issue anymore

17:23 <DashedRainbows> not for a while anyway

17:27 * DashedRainbows lifts ponies. must lift...

17:30 <Cepheid> Yeah.  Pretty sure I didn't break a bone.  Probably ruptured a number of blood vessels though.

17:30 <DashedRainbows> oof

17:30 <Cepheid> Still got full flexibility in the hand.

17:31 <DashedRainbows> some ppl have luck with those things

17:31 <DashedRainbows> like me, I've only broken one bone

17:31 <Cepheid> Oh for the love of-  I'm on the wrong bus.

17:34 <DashedRainbows> second only to the 'I missed my train that passes every hour' feeling

17:34 <DashedRainbows> that sucked

17:36 <DashedRainbows> err, not second to, worse than

17:39 <Cepheid> As for why no ambulance, because security managed to talk me down and felt that I'd be better off at health services rather than an ambulance to a random hospital.  Basically I'm left on my own to get to the civic.

17:40 <DashedRainbows> in my terrible opinion ambulances should only be used in loss of consciousness or when it's likely

17:41 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.  Apparently they are used for crises as well, especially ones where students are at risk.

17:41 * Cepheid looks at right hand, left wrist and elbow.

17:41 * DashedRainbows woul make a great dictator

17:41 <Cepheid> Guess this isn't considered a potential risk to students.

17:42 <DashedRainbows> Questionable

17:42 <Cepheid> Good ole cement.  It doesn't budge no matter how hard ye hit it.

17:43 <DashedRainbows> ouch

17:45 <Ali> Sthap punching the ground and walls Cepheid

17:45 <Cepheid> Deserved it.

17:45 <DashedRainbows> how about no punching at all

17:46 <DashedRainbows> then again different ways to cope and all

17:47 <DashedRainbows> oh yeah, to look up the schedule for the ymca downtown

17:53 <Cepheid> Way I see it, I can either punch and hit walls and floors, or hit people.  Which would then create an entirely new problem probably warranting tazering me.

17:55 <DashedRainbows> no comment...

17:55 <Cepheid> Still annoyed.  Security once again ignores basic requests.  Let me injure myself.

17:56 <Cepheid> They told me their excuse was concern over legal issues.

17:56 <Cepheid> Anyways time to transfer.

18:02 <Cepheid> Thanks OC.  You directed me in the worst way imaginable.  Waiting for the next bus would take more time than it would take me to walk the rest of the way.

18:02 <DashedRainbows> you should come to Dallas then <.<
