00:06 <Schism> Be happy, Lumindia.  He lived a very long and weird life.

00:10 * DashedRainbows snuggles the Ali for warms

00:14 <Schism> Oh.  Good.  Let's see, we've already got War gearing up for 2020, now Pestilence is coming our way.  A strain of coronavirus has surfaced and spread throughout China, and while it's comparatively minor, it's still a sickness.  Please stay safe this winter, folks.

04:51 * Cepheid steals warmth from Ali. Is cold. Very cold.

04:52 <Schism> Thankfully, it's going to be in positive temperatures for the rest of the week.

04:52 <Schism> Admittedly, just during the day, but that's a damn sight better than -20.

04:53 <Cepheid> Yep.

05:01 <Cepheid> Some coffee, then monhan time for a bit.

05:06 <Schism> Not a bad plan.  Hum.

05:09 <Cepheid> See also: Programming, later.  But I need to do some research for that first.  Would be nice if I had other types of keyboards than just an QWERTY international type.

05:10 <Cepheid> Need to do something about the cold.  Hmm.

05:11 * Cepheid puts on a sweater, some socks, and burritos in his duvet.

05:12 * DashedRainbows is still cold filly thus curls up under Ali with her blankie and pacifier. Nini ponies

05:15 <Cepheid> I washed this sweater according to it's washing instructions and...  It feels nice.  My parents always tell me to use some simple instructions to wash everything, but I decided to diverge to see if it helps with my skin issues.

05:15 * Ali claims Cepheid's cats for warms, cause hers are little jerks and don't wanna snuggle.

05:18 <Ali> Wee another stupid challenge is making its rounds thru various idiots

05:25 <Cepheid> No, regular bugs.

05:25 <Cepheid> Wasps and such.

05:29 <Cepheid> There, got what I needed.  Now to bankrupt myself by making a new armor.

05:33 <Cepheid> Yeah, I've been doing that, and selling all the plunderblade stuff.

05:33 <Cepheid> Gets me about 150,000 after a few hunts.

05:34 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/qXJc2fK.png Kadachi Alpha+ with Strategist Spectacles, black.  I look like I belong in Canada or Siberia.

05:36 <Cepheid> With a 9PM-o'clock shadowed beard, and bald head.  Pretty much how I look.  Only I'm a slight bit fatter in the real world, and not as muscular. :P

05:40 * Filly_Nightmares meows

05:44 <Cepheid> I need to figure out where scavantulas are found again.

05:46 <Schism> I think I caught one of those in the Vale the other day.

05:46 <Schism> Disturbed a bonepile and they went skittering around everywhere.

05:49 <Cepheid> I know MH games are known for giving critters animalistic behaviours, such as eating, seeking out water, and the like.

05:49 <Cepheid> But I've never seen a Rathalos drink before.  Looks ridiculous.

05:50 <Schism> Hehe.  I have, and it is a little bit absurd.  Of course, I immediately interrupted it by slicing into its wing.

05:51 <PinkieShy> Internet is back to having issues regularly again... :/

05:51 <PinkieShy> If this happens for a week straight.. I'll tell my ISP they need to fix it.. Its been 2 days now..

05:51 <PinkieShy> >_<

05:54 * Ali nibbles PinkieShy ear

05:56 <Cepheid> Now I just need me some honey and I can return to town.

05:56 <Cepheid> And yeah, Scanvantulas, I recall being in the Rotten Vale.  I was gonna check there first, in fact.

05:56 <Schism> Just your standard bounty?

05:57 <Cepheid> I just want a bunch of 'em to throw all of my house.  And yeah.

05:57 * Schism places a pancakes on Filly_Nightmares' nosie!

05:57 <Schism> A few pancakes.

05:57 <Cepheid> I need to do something about my research points, too.

05:57 <Cepheid> Down to 1500.

05:58 <Schism> Time to start running around Master Rank areas and harvesting all the research nodes?

05:59 <Cepheid> I don't get any higher points on Master Rank for that, alas.

06:00 <Schism> Ah.  Still, that, and filling all the easy bounties... should get you a fair number of points.

06:01 <Cepheid> ... Ye know.

06:02 <Cepheid> I completely forgot that I can just like, meld screamer pods.

06:04 <Cepheid> Hum, let's see..

06:04 <Schism> Melding is such a complete waste, though, that it's easy to forget about.

06:04 <Schism> Well, almost complete, obviously.

06:05 <Cepheid> Botanist, SForager's Luck, Detector..

06:06 <Cepheid> Geologist is useless as there isn't any collecting spots that result in points.  But I guess bringing it along isn't a *BAD IDEA* on the grounds that I can also harvest high-rank ores.

06:06 <Cepheid> And sell them for money.

06:12 * Jackie pats Filly_Nightmares

06:13 <Cepheid> All I'm missing is Master Fisher and Master Gathering.  The latter isn't critical, though, as all it does is increase gathering speed.

06:14 <Cepheid> ... Oh.  I have the item for Master Fisher already.  Okay then.

06:16 <Cepheid> There we are.  Maxed Botany, Maxed Geology, Master Fisher, Pro Transporter(EGGS!), Forager's Luck, Detector.

06:17 <Cepheid> And just so I'm not walking around in piddly-weak armor while gathering.. *Upgrades all armor pieces used.*

06:18 <Cepheid> And so I don't look like some social reject who can't dress... *Puts on Yukumo Layered Armor*

06:19 <Cepheid> Actually nah.  Black Silver Knight.

06:19 <Cepheid> And for best gathering, a food set such that it increases my gathering skill.

06:21 <Cepheid> Let's see... 2 Fortune gets me Felyne Harvester, making harvest points respawn faster.

06:21 <Jackie> Macaulay should get a new movie tbh

06:21 <Jackie> I haven't seen him getting any roles since he's popular again

06:21 <Cepheid> And 4 Perception gets me Felyne Exchanger, which increases research points at the end of the quest.

06:23 * Cepheid uses a voucher and guarantees the skills.

06:23 <Cepheid> I only thought this applied to gourmet vouchers, guess not.

06:24 <Cepheid> Still learning basic details, even after a year of playing this game. =.=;

06:24 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-8q0glj.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

06:24 <Schism> Yup... there's a lot to unpack!

06:26 <Jackie> Am I the only one who doesn't have a chance to play any modern console?

06:26 <Schism> I haven't, myself.  PC all the way.

06:27 <Cepheid> Right, so Felyne Exchanger doubles the points.

06:27 <Cepheid> The stuff from the plants in Hoarfrost Reach are giving me 64+ points, 100 for the rarer items.

06:27 <Schism> Nice.

06:27 <Cepheid> Jackie, MHWorld is PC, if you have strong enough machine for it.  Windows, yes, but as I understand it, it's one of the few games that people are hard at work getting wroking with WINE/Proton.

06:28 <Jackie> Cepheid, I mean if it can run on a mid range pc

06:28 <Schism> It doesn't take all that strong a machine, either.  Capcom did a good job of setting it up, and I can run it with my GTX760 without a hitch.

06:28 <Cepheid> Midrange would get you reasonable quality.

06:29 <Jackie> I don't like using NVIDIA

06:29 <Cepheid> And even *THEN*, if you played at lowest quality settings?

06:29 <Schism> You won't be getting butter-smooth 60FPS, but it's good.

06:29 <Cepheid> You still get better quality than the earlier MH games.

06:29 <Jackie> Because dual boot

06:29 <Jackie> Can it run AMD graphics,

06:29 <Schism> Certainly.

06:29 <Cepheid> What video card you use?

06:29 <Schism> No, it's really quite excellent there, and my hat's off to the optimization folks.

06:29 <Jackie> Both Linux and Windows support it very well

06:30 <Jackie> Why does NVIDIA still have poor support on Linux?

06:30 <Schism> Come to think, wasn't the engine optimized when Iceborne came out, Cepheid?

06:30 <Cepheid> Because nVidia believes in Secrets.

06:30 <Jackie> Despite and Intel and AMD graphics are getting powerful

06:30 <Cepheid> Yeah, it was optimized when the 10.12 patch came out.

06:30 <Cepheid> Which covers the original base game too.

06:30 <Cepheid> That said, some people saw regressions with it.

06:31 <Schism> Aye.  It runs -really- well.

06:31 <Schism> And that's always gonna be the case, heh.

06:31 <Cepheid> I honestly suspect it has a lot to do with a few attributes, unrelated to OS or GPUs.

06:31 <Jackie> I'm not putting any money on NVIDIA anytime soon if they're not supporting their new cards on Linux

06:31 <Cepheid> They got their new cards working with the proprietary drivers.

06:31 <Cepheid> And Noveau just recently got Turing going with acceleration.

06:31 <Jackie> Is it even available on Linux?

06:32 <Cepheid> But yeah, it's a mess for nVidia in Linux.

06:32 <Cepheid> Is what available?

06:32 <Jackie> I doubt Arch works on new Nvidia cards

06:32 <Schism> Looks like GloriousEggroll works well enough with MHW.

06:33 <Schism> Custom Proton, that is.

06:33 <Jackie> Is Linux still getting good games?

06:34 <Cepheid> I've been using Arch on this PC for some time, and it uses an RTX 2060.

06:35 <Cepheid> There are some performance issues, even with the proprietary driver.  Apparently, nVidia decided to completely defy common sense with EGL.

06:37 <Cepheid> I am under the strong suspicion that the problem with nVidia lies in upper management, legal, and such.  Because it's clear the nVidia software engineers want to help contribute to open source and Linux in general.

06:37 <Cepheid> There are software engineers working at nVidia who work on the Nouveau driver, for example.

06:40 <Cepheid> How long they will remain this stubborn remains to be seen.

06:40 <Cepheid> They're gonna have to do something soon, though.

06:40 <Cepheid> There's gonna be a new competitor in the world of dedicated graphics cards this year.

06:41 <Cepheid> Intel is apparently continuing and preparing for it's move into Dedicated Graphics Cards.

06:42 <Cepheid> Which for Linux is a good thing.

06:42 <Cepheid> Because Intel, for all it's faults, has top-notch Linux driver support for video.

06:42 <Cepheid> If I had to choose between AMD or nVidia dedicated GPUs in a laptop, I'd go with an Intel iGPU instead.

06:47 <Cepheid> Geezus.

06:47 <Cepheid> Great Sushifish are worth 150 research points.

06:48 <Schism> Yeah, though you've gotta do that annoying minigame to catch them.

06:48 <Schism> They look nice in the aquarium, tho.

06:49 <Cepheid> Oh, hey.  I needed that glass paraxus.

06:49 <Cepheid> Iceborne brings new endemic life quests, so..

06:50 * Cepheid O3Os!

06:50 <Cepheid> Great King Marlin, 560 points.

06:52 <Cepheid> I really should make a bunch of bait.

06:55 <Schism> For now, I'mma get back to sleep.  My schedule's been thrown off, but that'll help.

06:56 <Cepheid> I wish Capcom would add a way to change the bug colors.

06:57 <Cepheid> Because bright greenish-white on whote is hard to read.

06:58 * Cepheid captures some yello bois

07:00 <Cepheid> Because of my insane prep, this has been a productive run.

07:01 <Cepheid> From fauna alone, I've collected enough stuff for 4,282 research points.

07:04 <Cepheid> Also, the whetfish item description definitely needs a rework.

07:04 <Cepheid> It says "Useful for fewer uses than a whetstone"

07:04 <Cepheid> What it means by that is "you spend less time sharpening because you only do a few cycles instead of the full four cycles."

07:22 <Cepheid> First goldenfish catch since... forever.

07:22 <Cepheid> And it's a gold crown small.

07:23 <Cepheid> The probability of that is like, really, really low.

07:23 <Cepheid> Talking 1 in a few thousand.

07:29 <Cepheid> Return and... 8,500 points.  Good stock.

07:39 <Cepheid> Not done, though.  Want more floating jellyfish for my room.  Plus, maybe capture a few rare pets from the Coral Highlands.

08:27 <PinkieShy> ... Peanuts are addictive. :3

08:28 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1220253098272313344 This is my case, Ali.  Anything like that?

08:29 <Ali> No I don't think so.

08:29 <Ali> Mine is kind of a flaky scaley thing

08:30 <Cepheid> Ah, that.

08:30 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's dry skin.  In fact, that was the precursor to the above.

08:56 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

08:56 <ConfusionRift> Oh sorry...

08:56 <ConfusionRift> blah

08:56 <Jackie> huh?

08:57 <ConfusionRift> Just messing around. (flops) Finally, days off!

08:59 <Jackie> We were talking about states

09:00 * Golden flops.

09:01 <Cepheid> Hey Rifty.

09:01 <ConfusionRift> Hey there.

09:05 <Jackie> Seeing in street views, towns look so clean and peaceful

09:06 * Ali flops over ConfusionRift

09:06 <Ali> Ish boring here.

09:06 <Jackie> Some town called Chaplin in Conneticut

09:06 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.

09:07 <ConfusionRift> Not doing much, so also bored.

09:07 <Jackie> Are Canadian towns the same?

09:07 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

09:09 <Cepheid> What do you mean by that, Jackie?

09:10 <Jackie> Cepheid, cleanliness and peacefulness

09:13 <Cepheid> Larger cities tend to be a bit less on the peacefulness.  Crimes happen, murders happen, etc.  Not quite to the extreme that you'd find in a US city though, but it's hard to do a proper comparison due to a few differences.

09:13 <Cepheid> Our gun laws, for example, are much different than the US.  Also, our city populations don't even come close to what you find in the US.

09:13 <Cepheid> There are more people living in the state of California than there are in the entirety of Canada, and Canada has more surface area than the US does, if I recall correctly.

09:14 * DashedRainbows pounces on ConfusionRift playfully and licks him a lot

09:18 <Cepheid> As for dirtiness.

09:18 <Cepheid> Yes, some cities in Canada are dirty, and there are regions of cities that are dirtier than most.

09:18 <Cepheid> It's particularly bad during the Winter months, because of all the pollution from cars, and all the sand, salt and gravel we use to improve traction on roads and such.

09:19 <Jackie> I just love the environment in some towns

09:24 <Cepheid> The major problems I have with cities myself is the noise.

09:24 <Cepheid> Well, noise and light.

09:25 <Jackie> Nunavut seems inhospitabe!

09:25 <Cepheid> Ottawa is a loud city, even at night.  And light's a real problem too.  Especially downtown.

09:25 <Jackie> *inhospitable

09:25 <Cepheid> Nothing like seeing skyscrapers, devoid of life, completely lit up, because of a small group of five or six people who have to work a graveyard shift.

09:26 <Cepheid> As for Nunavut, yeah.

09:26 <Cepheid> It's pretty inhospitable.  Can't grow food up there, except in greenhouses probably.

09:26 <Cepheid> My sister lives up in Nunavut, in a place called Igloolik.

09:27 <Cepheid> Because of how little food can be acquired up there, they get shipments of food from more hospitable areas.

09:27 <Jackie> Not much roads in the state

09:27 <Cepheid> And if you know what those shipments comprised of, you'd understand why the native populations are so friggen pissed at the rest of the country.

09:27 <Cepheid> As well as the costs of the food stuffs.

09:28 * Jackie thinks Cepheid is Nunavutian-born

09:28 <Cepheid> Basically, the stuff that gets sent up there is all the expired or nearly-expired goods, or goods that failed to sell off the shelves here.

09:28 <Cepheid> No.  Ontario-born.

09:28 <Cepheid> I was born in a small border town called Cornwall.

09:28 <Cepheid> But as I was saying..

09:29 <Jackie> I still think Nunavut's a bit harsh to live

09:29 <Cepheid> Igloolik, and even the more southern communities and towns like Iqaluit, the food they get is usually the stuff that didn't sell in the stores down here in Ottawa, Toronto, Cornwall and the like.

09:29 <Cepheid> And they upmark the prices by an incredible amount.

09:29 <Cepheid> Jackie, how much is a bag of potato chips, plain, where you live?

09:29 <Cepheid> In your own currency.  I can do the conversion.

09:29 <Jackie> Around 10 to 20 pesos if made locally

09:30 <Jackie> And that's in PHP pesos

09:30 <Jackie> .

09:31 <Cepheid> So let's average it out to 15 pesos, then.

09:31 <Cepheid> Hum, that comes out to aboute 39 cents Canadian.  An average bag of chips where I live is about $2.00 or so.  Or about mmm..

09:32 <Cepheid> ~78 Philippine pesos.

09:32 <Cepheid> Up north in Igloolik, where my sister lives.

09:32 <Cepheid> An average bag of potato chips is $15-$20 Canadian.  So averages out to $17.50

09:32 * DashedRainbows takes her blankie and pacifier to curl up in the corner

09:33 <Cepheid> Or about 677 pesos.

09:33 <Cepheid> And it's a bag of chips that is near, or past it's "best before" date.

09:33 <Cepheid> Because that's usually what's sent up there.

09:33 <Cepheid> Food that's about to go past expiration, has expired, or is near/past the "best before" date.

09:34 <Cepheid> Fresh food is quite literally so expensive that you can only buy one or two items a month without breaking the bank.

09:34 <Jackie> It's expensive because....delivery, environment etc

09:35 <Cepheid> Yep.

09:35 <Cepheid> It's remote, no roads going to it, so all food is shipped in by planes.  And not even freight planes.

09:35 <Jackie> Environment is the biggest factor

10:10 * Jackie is reviewing Practical Research for an exam tommorrowm

10:10 <Jackie> *tommorrow.

10:10 <Cepheid> Integration of extensions from version 1.1, turning them into core features in 1.2.  Also, it's backwards compatible with existing hardware.  Any hardware supporting Vulkan 1.1 will be supported by Vulkan 1.2 right out the gate.

10:11 <Jackie> Cepheid, have you done practical research before?

10:12 <Cepheid> I have no idea what the difference is between research I've done, and practical research, so no.

10:12 <Cepheid> Oh, Vulkan also adds native support for HLSL.  That is, DirectX shaders.

10:12 <Cepheid> Well, not native support, but the basic library provides a compiler for it, now.

10:13 <Cepheid> So it'll convert HLSL to SPIR-V, the shader assembly language that Vulkan uses.

10:13 <Jackie> Cepheid, something like methodology, data, abstract etc

10:14 <Cepheid> Still not ringing any bells for me.

10:14 <Cepheid> I never had to do any proper "research"

10:14 <Cepheid> Usually what I am tasked with is systems analysis.

10:14 <Jackie> You know what is a thesis right?

10:15 <Cepheid> Yes.

10:15 <Cepheid> But I've never written one.

10:15 <Cepheid> In college, in place of the thesis, I had to write an application for a client.

10:15 <Cepheid> In university, it'd be the same thing, unless I was going for a masters, in which case yes, I would write a thesis.  Usually on an existing tech, or improvement that can be made to tech.

10:16 <Jackie> Thesis is just more or less studying x to achieve y

10:17 <Jackie> When I take IT, I'm kinda up for the challenge

10:18 <Cepheid> To me, a thesis is usually just a research paper that you do to prove you're deserving of a title.

10:18 <Cepheid> The problem with it being that the title is entirely based on that single research paper, more or less.

10:19 <Cepheid> My sister bull****ed her thesis paper and still got her masters.

10:19 <Cepheid> Will I ever have to write one?  Depends on whether or not I can figure out what my damned problem is with educational institutions.

10:20 <Cepheid> I do not like to be on educational institution premises.  Always makes me irritable, moody, and agitated.  To the point that I can't function like a normal person.

10:20 <Cepheid> As a result, currently?  Graduating university is out of my reach.

10:21 <Jackie> Some universities don't do thesis

10:21 <Jackie> Depending on the course taken

10:23 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm in Computer Science.

10:23 <Cepheid> Which is a general catch-all for everything computers.

10:24 <Cepheid> College, it tends to be practical stuff.  Designing and creating programs, tools, the like.

10:24 <Jackie> I think IT has more or less the same environment

10:24 <Cepheid> University is more theoretical.  Theory of computation, algorithms and how to design and/or prove their effectiveness, compiler design, AI.

10:25 <Jackie> Idk, it seems less complex than CS

10:25 <Jackie> which I would fit

10:28 <Cepheid> IT is less complex, yes.

10:28 <Cepheid> It's a more focused field.

10:28 <Cepheid> Like I said, CS is catch-all.  It covers everything.

10:28 <Cepheid> In theory, I can go into any computer-related field I want, with my diploma.

10:29 <Cepheid> The only issues is I have to prove myself, which I haven't done yet.  A diploma or degree isn't sufficient for that.

10:29 <Cepheid> Which is why, right now, I highly advise one thing for you Jackie.

10:30 <Cepheid> Build a portfolio of stuff that you do.  If you create music, create a portfolio of songs you've made.  If you write code, create a portfolio of programs, libraries and contributions you've made.  If you test, create a portfolio of test plans, conformance tests, and such that you've written.

10:30 <Cepheid> Do it now.  Rather than later.

10:30 <Cepheid> While you're still in school and not expected to have a job in your field yet.

10:40 <Cepheid> Right, I'm done hunting today I think.

10:40 <Cepheid> I'll remain open to SOS calls from people I know, but that's about it. :P

11:08 <Cepheid> Cute.  A watchdog watching my laptop killed the X server and all running processes because it locked up for too long.  That also killed the build process.

11:09 <Cepheid> Use two threads for building this time instead of letting Make guess.

11:10 <AppleDash> Running make -j without a numerical argument just tells make to use as much concurrency as possible with whatever you're compiling, ignoring how many threads you have

11:10 <Cepheid> Yeah, and that killed my laptop.

11:10 <Cepheid> First time that's ever happened, really.

11:10 <AppleDash> I actually once filed a bug with a piece of software I was trying to compile when it did the same thing to my computer, before I knew that that was expected behaviour with big projects on small computers :P

11:11 <Cepheid> Heh.

11:11 <Cepheid> But yeah, normally I just do -j4.  Didn't expect -j without an operand to go insane, though.

11:11 <Cepheid> That seems kinda like it'd be a bug.

11:21 <Cepheid> Has there been any research into using GPUs for compilation of code?

11:30 *** Joins: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-drh.lm3.9.61.IP)

11:31 * ConfusionRift scraps a resource block. "Nice, that's plenty... that's a lot... oh goodness... everything's clogged... PLEASE STAAAAHP!!!"

11:32 <Cepheid> .. Intel, your engineers are IDIOTS.

11:32 <Cepheid> They wrote down a list of terminology in their iGPU specs, which is all fine and dandy.

11:32 <Cepheid> But they did it in alphabetical order.  And they use terms and acronyms before they're even defined.

11:33 <Cepheid> Like... WHY?

11:34 <Cepheid> And more Scrap Mechanic, ConfusionRift?

11:34 <Cepheid> How's that game turning out anyways?

11:35 <ConfusionRift> Terra Tech still. Some missions give out resource chunk blocks, and I had no idea they spewed out that much when scrapped.

11:36 <ConfusionRift> I still don't have scrap mechanic.

11:36 <Cepheid> Oh, Terra Tech.

11:36 <Cepheid> Sorry, I get the two mixed up.

11:36 <Cepheid> I meant Terra Tech, as I own it myself.

11:36 <Cepheid> I should play it.  Assuming I can fix the problem it has with my display.

11:38 <ConfusionRift> It's been light. There's a point when it's basically you trying to get as much out of manufacturers. Was working on making a large mobile assembler for parts and resource storage. Got it done in creative, and I'm now making parts... lots of them.

11:38 <Cepheid> Basically, for some reason, presumably related to the refresh rate problem many games exhibit when I have my display set to "run" at 60Hz, the game stutters like mad on my 4k display, regardless of settings.

11:39 <Cepheid> On my 144Hz monitor, the stutter goes away.

11:39 <Cepheid> Suggesting it is, in fact the display.

11:41 <Cepheid> My gods, what have I gotten myself into?  ... Ah well, I wanted to learn.  And sometimes, learning requires climbing a seemingly-insurmountable mountain.

11:41 <ConfusionRift> I have heard some complaints about that, actually. Some 4k monitors go a little wonky with some games, with them either not adjusting some elements properly (many games still have problems with 4k resolutions) or an FPS issue.

11:41 <Cepheid> I know what the cause is, directly.

11:41 <Cepheid> The problem is that monitors and TVs will advertise 60Hz, but in reality, they run at 59.4Hz

11:43 <ConfusionRift> Oddly enough, my other PC would switch to 59hz automatically at some point, though the monitor can in fact hit 60hz.

11:43 <Cepheid> My guess is, what's happening is that when the graphics API is initialized, and various bits are queried, including the refresh rate, the underlying graphics API tells the GPU to wait for v-blanks at a certain time frame.

11:43 <Cepheid> Problem is, if that time frame is actually smaller than what's expected, it could cause desynchronization.

11:43 <Cepheid> What's likely happening is that the application stalls for twice as long.

11:43 <Cepheid> Which would explain why some games will advertise running at 60 FPS, but visually be running at 30 FPS.

11:43 <Cepheid> Or stuttering like mad.

11:44 <Cepheid> Because processing-wise, yeah, it's doing 60 FPS, but some frames are being missed.

11:44 <Cepheid> The only workaround for the problem is that I have to force the display to run at 59Hz.

11:44 <Cepheid> After doing that, the problem goes away for most games.

11:44 <Cepheid> Whatever stuttering remains is either due to a bottleneck in my system somewhere, or poor game code.

11:45 <Cepheid> Half of what said sounds like garbage now that I re-read it.

11:45 <Cepheid> I really cannot express what I see in my head, can I?

11:46 * Cepheid goes to check something about display communications.

11:47 <Jackie> What's a unique combination of being both a musician and a programmer?

11:47 <Cepheid> I... don't think there is such a term.

11:48 <ConfusionRift> Electromusician! :P

11:48 <ConfusionRift> ...yeah, there isn't a term for that.

11:49 <Cepheid> Internet, please give me a resource with electrical details of how vsync works.

11:50 <Jackie> What about programming music?

11:50 <ConfusionRift> ...in what sense?

11:51 <Cepheid> No such term.

11:52 * Lumindia_ licks Jackie's cheek

11:52 <Lumindia_> o wo

11:52 <ConfusionRift> Like, are you working on software that one can use to make music, or coding in order to generate music? Either way, you're either programming or composing. There really isn't a term that signify both together.

12:44 <Cepheid> Oof.

12:45 <ConfusionRift> But it still decimates whatever is in front of it. :P

12:47 <Cepheid> ... Okay then.

12:47 <Cepheid> The compilation broke.

12:48 <Cepheid> I'll BRB.

12:51 <Cepheid> Hum, let's try that.

12:51 <Cepheid> What happened is the temporary filesystem ram out of space.  Guess this system requires more than 4GiB to compile.

12:52 <ConfusionRift> Oh, poopie.

12:52 <Cepheid> As annoying as it sounds.

12:53 <Cepheid> Since it invokes a complete rebuild.

12:53 <Cepheid> Meaning I start from scratch.

12:53 <Cepheid> Fortunately, it doesn't seem to take forever.  About 40-60 minutes, approximately.

12:55 <Cepheid> Right then, onto the next doc.

12:55 <Cepheid> Let's see how to make the iGPU tick.

12:56 <Cepheid> I presume most of the heavy lifting has been done with regards to the driver.  What remains is basically just implementing various bits of functionality in terms of what's already been implemented in the driver.  And where something is needed that isn't implemented, well...

12:56 <Cepheid> That's where things will get difficult for me.

12:57 <Cepheid> As I'd be going to a level even lower than what Vulkan, Metal, and DX12 allow access to.

12:58 <Cepheid> ... o.O

12:59 <Cepheid> The command pipeline only uses 5 bits for the opcode.  ... Ah, there's sub-opcodes, and opcode 11111 means one of those subopcodes is used.

12:59 <Cepheid> And this only applies to render commands, that's why.

13:00 <Cepheid> And... yeah, I think I need to study this a bit more.

13:01 <Cepheid> This... fascinates me immensely.

13:02 <Cepheid> Knowing what goes on at the lower levels.  For each level lower I go, the more fascinating it gets. >.>

13:19 <Cepheid> Okay cat, I need to move.  I'm sorry.

13:21 <Cepheid> In fact, not only am I gonna move, but I'm gonna go take a shower.

13:51 <Cepheid> Something ruptured inside my nose.  Big time.

13:52 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;

13:53 * Cepheid cleans up the evidence of the apparent crime scene.

13:55 <Cepheid> So, I think I found the cause of the crashing from compiling.

13:55 <Cepheid> Not enough swap space.  Out of memory, according to the compiler crashing.

13:55 * Cepheid increases swap space to 16GiB.

13:56 <Cepheid> There we go.

13:57 <Cepheid> Won't lie though, after that... rupture?  My nose feels emptier and cleaner than ever.

14:03 <Cepheid> Right, so either that rupture is responsible, or something in my room is agitating an allergy.  My eyes won't stop stinging.

14:06 <ConfusionRift> Could be either or both, really.

14:10 <Cepheid> ... I think it's my laptop.

14:11 <ConfusionRift> Eyes are part of the sinuses, and that rupture might have- ...eeh?

14:11 <Cepheid> It smells like there's something on my laptop.

14:11 <Cepheid> That, and any time I get away from my laptop for more than a minute, my eyes recover, while having my laptop in front of me, my eyes start stinging like I have an allergy.

14:12 <ConfusionRift> Odd.

14:12 <ConfusionRift> Unless... magic smoke? That would be a double whammy.

14:12 <Cepheid> Well, truth told, with the way I type, and how my skin exudes a constant grime, it's possible it's building up on the surface of my laptop.  Might be time to give it a wipedown.

14:12 <Cepheid> Nah, smell of burning components is particularly strong.

14:12 <Cepheid> This isn't it.

22:07 <Schism> Lumindia, he's not the messiah!  He's a very naughty boy.

22:11 <Lumindia> I got my brother's "Monty Python's Flying Circus" DVDs

22:11 <Lumindia> watching them now

22:11 * Schism nodnods, and confuses a cat.

22:13 <PinkieShy> do any of you think.. There would be any shame in buying.. a PC like cyberpowerpc or HP Pavillion (Ryzen 5 2400g with nvidia 1050) from walmart instead of building it myself..

22:13 <PinkieShy> the cyberpowerpc at walmart is intel i7.

22:13 <PinkieShy> Ryzen 5 is like $600 and the i7 pc is $1000

22:16 <PinkieShy> I had very bad luck with cyberpowerpc in the past though even ibuypower

22:17 <PinkieShy> But I'm getting desperate at this point.

22:17 <PinkieShy> My current PC in VRChat and I would hate to lose touch with my friends on there.. This PC is freezing up more and more..

22:25 * PinkieShy boops Schism
