01:25 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_R_H4bSvec&feature=youtu.be Basically, the button disables the "clicking" nature of the wheel.  So I can spin the wheel super-fast, and while it's spinning, it continuously emits a mousewheel event.

10:51 * uni hats on Finwe

10:52 * Finwe doffs his uni.

10:55 *** Jackie2 is now known as Jackie

10:56 <Jackie> Cepheid, I heard that Canada has coronavirus

10:57 * Schism awakens. "Yup, it's spreading worldwide."

11:01 <Jackie> I just say indoors

11:01 <Jackie> *stay

11:11 * Lumindia_ licks Jackie

11:13 <Finwe> I read in the newspaper that we have all flights to China cancelled for 2 weeks.

11:14 <Finwe> To and from, to be exact.

11:15 <Schism> Indeed.  For the record, 2 weeks is the incubation date of this strain.

11:15 * Finwe nodnods.

11:16 <Finwe> Humm, reindeer for dinner today.

11:16 * Finwe offers some smoked reindeer to Schism.

11:17 <Finwe> The meat served for dinner is not smoked, though.

11:17 <Jackie> So what goes first?

11:17 <Jackie> Melody, bassline, chords or drums?

11:17 <Finwe> Melody, of course. All the others just support it.

11:18 <Jackie> I know the bassline uses some of the chord's notes?

11:18 <Jackie> Finwe, some songs don't contain a bassline

11:18 <Jackie> Idk how that works

11:26 <Starlight_Glimmer> So Finwe have you been celebrating them Island Monkeys leaving our beloved union? No more Marmite! Mainland Europe will be better for it :3

11:27 <Jackie> Is Starlight_Glimmer from Finland too?

11:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> No

11:28 <Starlight_Glimmer> Germany!

11:28 <Jackie> Oh

11:28 <Jackie> Close to Finland

11:31 <Finwe> At least from Filipino perspective. o3o

11:31 <uni> ooh how does reindeer taste?

11:31 <Finwe> It's almost entirely unlike chicken.

11:32 * Ali sits on Starlight_Glimmer

11:32 <uni> well that can be said of everything~

11:32 <Finwe> Starlight_Glimmer: Indeed.

11:32 * Lumindia_ licks Ali, then licks GlimGlam

11:33 <Finwe> I bought some German beer, Spanish tomatoes, Dutch sprouts, Finnish cucumber and Swedish crisp bread.

11:33 <Finwe> Not a single item from the Monkey Island. o3o

11:33 <Ali> Why is it called the monkey island?

11:33 * uni offers Finwe a surprisingly excellent cookhouse dinner

11:33 * Schism offers Finwe some real authentic Monkey Island grog.

11:33 * Ali is dum murican

11:34 <Finwe> Dumb but cute.

11:34 * Ali ish not cute dang it

11:34 * Finwe rolls his eyes.

11:34 <Jackie> It sucks that you can buy every European product in one European country

11:34 <Starlight_Glimmer> Because they're behaving like monkeys and are stuck on an island?

11:34 <Schism> Starlight_Glimmer, also, marmite is of the nom.

11:34 <Starlight_Glimmer> Jackie: What are you talking about. It's great!

11:34 <uni> hey the one island part is debatable

11:34 * uni demands Isle of Man representation

11:35 <Jackie> Starlight_Glimmer, not many countries have that

11:35 * Ali beds

11:35 <Starlight_Glimmer> Schism: Well you're living under the Queens banner. I'm sure you're obligated by law to say that.

11:36 <Finwe> Sollten wir die Sprache des Kanals auch ändern? Entweder Deutsch oder Französisch.

11:36 <Starlight_Glimmer> My French is awful :(

11:36 <Jackie> All I can say is that Schism could be German

11:37 <Finwe> How so?

11:37 <Schism> Starlight_Glimmer, nonsense, Marmite isn't Canadian.

11:37 <Finwe> Marmite, Vegemite, …

11:38 <Finwe> All Commonwealth products.

11:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> No, but Canada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations

11:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> And formally the Queen is head of state, isn't she?

11:38 <Finwe> Eeeyup.

11:39 <Schism> A mere formality.  We allow the Queen to remain as the head of state so long as she doesn't do anything with that power.

11:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm sure they force that product upon you to strengthen the economy of motherland Britain. It's ok Schism. We'll take care of you.

11:39 * Lumindia_ pulls Starlight_Glimmer, Ali, and Jackie into a pile of ponies

11:40 <Jackie> Okay so

11:40 <Schism> Harumph.  It is a delicious foodstuff.

11:40 <Finwe> Scotland and Northern Ireland might be headed back to the EU, though.

11:40 * Lumindia_ also Schism

11:40 <Jackie> There's the word "die" in German

11:40 <Finwe> Sterben?

11:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> On a more serious note: It's all sad :(

11:40 <Jackie> Is it the same meaning?

11:40 <Finwe> "Die" is the feminine definite article.

11:41 <Finwe> And plural definite article.

11:41 <Jackie> Die Finwe means there's a lot of you?

11:41 <Starlight_Glimmer> lol

11:41 <Schism> "No, no!  It means 'The Bart, The'."

11:42 <Finwe> E.g. "Die Mädchen sind hübsch" means "The girls are pretty".

11:42 <Finwe> Whereas "Die Ali ist hübsch" would mean "The Ali is cute". o3o

11:44 <Lumindia_> kek

11:44 <Lumindia_> Ali ist hubsch indeed

11:45 <Finwe> "The girl" is "das Mädchen", though, because girl, although nautrally feminine, is grammatically diminutive of Mädel, and therefore neuter.

11:45 <Finwe> *naturally

11:46 <Lumindia_> wait, what's fraulien(sp) then?

11:47 <Finwe> Fräulein is diminutive of Frau. Miss and Mrs, respectively, in English.

11:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'd translate cute with "niedlich", but yes

11:48 <Finwe> Starlight_Glimmer: Indeed.

11:48 <Jackie> Die Ali niedlich

11:48 <Finwe> + "ist"

11:48 <Starlight_Glimmer> or "süß" in the way it's used which would translate to sweet

11:48 * Finwe nodnods.

11:49 * Finwe offers some Süßigkeiten to Starlight_Glimmer.

11:49 * Lumindia_ cuddles all the ponies

11:49 * Finwe hugs a Lumindia_ back.

11:49 <Lumindia_> :D

11:52 <Starlight_Glimmer> Fräulein has been used historically for unmarried women. The only context you'll find nowadays is when parents bluster to their (young) daughter, for example when she's been unrespectful.

11:52 <Jackie> I wish Luna is that loved as Celestia

11:52 * Starlight_Glimmer lays down on Lumindia_

11:53 * Lumindia_ snuggles GlimGlam

11:54 <Jackie> I mean being Nightmare Moon kinda ruined her reputation

11:57 * Finwe noms on Herrlein Starlight_Glimmer.

12:02 <Jackie> When did pet food became so unhealthy to dogs/cats

12:05 * PrincessRainbows boops Jackie with her blankie

12:08 <uni> german is complicated

12:10 <Schism> No more complicated than English.

12:12 <uni> mmh I suppose

12:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'd challenge that

12:13 * Lumindia_ snuggle a glimGlam LOTS

14:24 <ADragonDreaming> 8 full and distinct stories for each of the base classes.

14:25 <Cepheid> I should check see how that MMO is doing these days.  It was fun back when I played it.

14:26 <ADragonDreaming> Right now I'm teaching a hutt about respectability.

14:26 <Cepheid> But right now I am already focused on two games as is.  MHWorld and Factorio again.

14:26 <ADragonDreaming> hehe

14:27 <Cepheid> Factorio has...  Become quite hard.

14:27 <ADragonDreaming> aye?

14:27 <Cepheid> On the server, due to my expansion, we are getting hit by swarms of up to 1,300 small biters.

14:28 <Cepheid> The bugs are actually doing damage to the walls.

14:51 <ADragonDreaming> ah. remote control train

14:52 <Cepheid> Yep.  I appeared to have developed a fascination in trains.

14:52 <ADragonDreaming> do you blame Factorio?

14:52 <Cepheid> So I want a simple lego train set with some extra rail segments.

14:52 <Cepheid> Factorio and OpenTTD.

14:56 <Cepheid> I argued with my parents, they promise to help me send off that package of mine sometime this week.  I'll go and test it later today to make sure it's still functional.

14:56 <uni> aaah that looks so cool

14:59 *** Joins: Pony|25079 (Pony25079@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net)

15:01 <Cepheid> I still wish Factorio had overhead bridges or tunnels, though.

15:01 <Cepheid> They limit the ability to create interesting railways.

15:01 <ADragonDreaming> many thanks!

15:01 <ADragonDreaming> Also, yeah

15:03 <ADragonDreaming> I guess part of it is that it would be too easy to bypass cliffs?

15:04 <Cepheid> Part of it.  The other half I think is the current structure of the data structures in the game.

15:05 <Cepheid> The design of them probably doesn't allow for overlapping trains and such.

15:08 <ADragonDreaming> quite possibly

15:08 <uni> it could be a balance thing

15:08 <uni> to force you to plan out your routes

15:09 <Cepheid> Usually the balance of tunnels or bridges is that they are excessively expensive, or in the case of OpenTTD, expensive, and they affect the trains themselves in some manner.

15:09 <Cepheid> In OpenTTD, for using a bridge, there's usually an uphill climb, which slows the train down.

15:10 <Cepheid> Bridges also can't intersect other bridges, even on other "layers" above or below.

15:11 <Cepheid> Tunnels can't intersect on the same level.

15:11 <Cepheid> On top of that, signals cannot be used inside tunnels, or on bridges.

15:11 <Cepheid> Also, bridges have speed limits, depending on the type.

15:21 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-lmphe1.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)

15:23 <Cepheid> I think the other half of the problem is that the game is single-level.

15:23 <Cepheid> That is, there's no height difference.

15:23 <ADragonDreaming> aye

15:24 <Cepheid> Cliffs give the impression of height, but in reality just act like walls.

15:24 <ADragonDreaming> as much as cliffs give the illusion of one.

15:25 <Cepheid> Doesn't look like rails have a speed adjustment factor.  However...

15:25 <Cepheid> It's not impossible to implement one.

15:26 <Cepheid> Thing about Factorio and it's Lua implementation.  Every entity has an ID, and you can associate arbitrary Lua data with an entity through it's ID.  Of course, it's not necessary to do this for rail speed limitations.

15:27 <Cepheid> Just need to associate an extra attribute with each rail prototype, and then, for the trains as they move, just regularly check to see what the rail speed is of the rail tiles they are over/approaching, and restrict the speed accordingly.

15:27 <Cepheid> As is, you can scriptually control a train.

15:30 <uni> sounds expensive

15:30 <Cepheid> It can be, if you're doing checks every single tick, with lots of trains.

15:30 <uni> also wow, there are crabs afoot tonight

15:30 <Cepheid> Really though, the biggest problem that sticks out is lack of control over the pathfinder.

15:31 <Cepheid> The only way I can see to get control over that, is to either re-implement it in LUA, and drive the trains manually in scripts.  OOOOORRRR....

15:32 <Cepheid> I create an application akin to SKSE for Skyrim, which exposes the train pathfinder to LUA by hooking into the pathfinder and LUA subsystem.

15:32 <Cepheid> Which won't happen, because I don't even know where to start with that.

15:32 <Cepheid> Granted, it'd be easier than most cases.  Factorio devs have done one thing that'd certainly make it easier.

15:33 <Cepheid> For whatever reason, they included the debugging database for the Windows build.

15:33 <Cepheid> If you ever look at the Windows zip version(I'm not sure about the steam version), you'll find a "factorio.pdb" file alongside the "factorio.exe" file.

15:34 <Cepheid> That pdb file, a ~223MiB file, is a program database file generated by the compiler.  It's used for debugging purposes.  And describes an incredible amount of information about the executable and the code that generated it.

15:35 <Cepheid> Using it, I could figure out what functions I would need to hook to add new LUA stuff.

15:35 <Cepheid> Oh, here comes Spitfire.  I assume he wants attention.  Back in a bit.

15:38 <Cepheid> And like clockwork.  Here comes the headache.

15:45 <Cepheid> I'll be seeking help for it on Tuesday, after my CAT scan.

15:45 <Cepheid> I don't want a round of antibiotics before because it will just cover up what's in my lungs.

15:47 <ADragonDreaming> eesh

15:47 <ADragonDreaming> I hope they can help

15:48 <Cepheid> Oh, they will.  Just gotta wait is all.

15:49 <Cepheid> The CAT scan is just to make sure my lungs aren't like, suffering from some severe problem.  Won't lie though I am panicking a bit about it.

15:49 <Cepheid> Because it is different from the previous scans in one critical detail.  I'm getting a dye injected.  Normally that is reserved for extreme issues.

16:03 <Cepheid> Ugh, again?  I'm starting to think until we find a better test, we should stop making and selling poppyseed bagels.  Mother lost custody of her son after she failed a drug test due to eating a poppyseed bagel.

16:03 <ADragonDreaming> I think the thinking is backwards.

16:03 <ADragonDreaming> Until we find a better test, stop using the bad ones.

16:04 <ADragonDreaming> and especially ban all the field tests that can wind up reacting to things like salt and bird droppings.

16:06 <Cepheid> That works too.

16:09 <Cepheid> Alternatively, stop with knee-jerk reactions.  Investigate further, or retest on tests known to get false positives.

16:09 <Cepheid> I fear for the worst if I ever have to get a drug test done, because I take a known narcotic.

16:12 <Cepheid> Heh.  Watching Pawn Stars.  Guy has an authentic replica of the Declaration of Independence.  It was authenticated by someone who knows of the replicas, and it is the real deal.  Store wants to buy it for $4,000 to $6,000.  Guy wants to sell it for $18,000 minimum.  He knows what he's got.  The store's expert has screwed them over big time.

16:13 <Cepheid> ... And the next item was an ancient gun known to be missing, that was apprised at $50,000+.

16:16 <Cepheid> Hell and damnnation, I need a new docking station for my new phone.

16:16 <Cepheid> With the protective case, it won't fit the dock.

16:20 <ADragonDreaming> that's unfortunate

16:23 <Cepheid> Ah well.

16:24 <Cepheid> Better to protect it than to have convenience.

16:24 <Cepheid> In any case, time to root my old phone.  Bit of work involved, it seems.

16:25 * Cepheid isn't really in the mood to code today due to the headache stuffs.

16:29 <Cepheid> I am going to regret this decision, but I need to know for documentation purposes and discussing with a doctor in the future.

16:29 <Cepheid> I am going to let the headache run it's course.

16:31 <ADragonDreaming> ouch

16:34 <Cepheid> Mostly, I just want information on the strength of the headache, and how bad the fever gets.  Higher fevers usually indicate a more severe problem, and I want to see just how severe it gets.

16:39 <ADragonDreaming> makes sense

16:48 <Cepheid> Yeeeah no I am not building Qt4 on my laptop just for one app.  *Uses PC*

17:12 <Cepheid> While I wait for this..

17:13 <Cepheid> The Factorio server's making noise.

17:14 <Cepheid> Sounds like a busted fan.

17:20 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-trb5lu.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)

17:23 <Cepheid> Server's going offline for a few minutes until I can determine source of sound.

17:26 <Cepheid> Power supply.

17:26 <Cepheid> Clicking coming from it.

17:35 <Cepheid> Asked my dad to see if he has any laying around at work, and if they won't mind it disappearing.

17:36 <Cepheid> In the meantime I'll just "Deal with it"

17:37 <Cepheid> Alternatively, I run the server only when me or someone else wants to play on it, until I get a new PSU.

17:37 <ADragonDreaming> that might be a better option

17:38 <Cepheid> Hum, what's the cheapest PSU I can buy from a store, actually?  Might be better than just taking one from a workplace.

17:38 <Cepheid> ~$35 CAD, seems.

17:47 <PrincessRainbows> Meh

17:50 <Cepheid> And there we are.  Rooted device with custom OS installed for better performance and battery life.  'Cause Samsung bloatware kills it.

18:00 <Cepheid> So, on my Galaxy S9, 2.9GiB of 3.0GiB RAM is being used.

18:00 <Cepheid> On my A5 with LineageOS, a custom OS, 1.1GiB of 3.0GiB is used.

18:02 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, time for some Factorioing.  I want to check somethin'.

18:04 <Cepheid> Hum, so that's what's going on.

18:06 <Cepheid> Multiple bases contribute to a group, now.  Even if the bases aren't close.

18:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: 40 Fanfics to Read for Rainbow Dash Day!  [ http://tinyurl.com/s8wsrb8 ]

18:12 <Cepheid> They absorb an unlimited amount of pollution, looks like.  Then spawn units from it, every N ticks, where N is some high value, usually enough for a few seconds to pass.  This removes some built up pollution based on the unit spawned.

18:17 <Cepheid> Looks like the combination of multiple bases working together, and pollution being absorbed infinitely, is leading to said bases on the server creating small swarms of biters, combining them, and then sending the wave crashing against the walls.

18:17 <Cepheid> Solution?  Genocide.

18:18 <Lumindia_> Genocide is tghe answer

18:18 <Lumindia_> O WO

18:20 <Cepheid> Bug genocide especially.

18:33 <Cepheid> Come to Nauvis, watch as Cepheid murders bugs.  Possibly get murdered, yourself!

18:37 <Cepheid> Right, so I just murdered a swarm of about 500 bugs.

19:41 <Cepheid> I also genocided a few bases.

19:53 <Ali> Well we needed to with the numbers they were sending after us so early

19:53 <Ali> I expected we'd be pissing them off, but not in such high numbers

19:54 <Cepheid> Yeah.

19:54 <Cepheid> At one point, a swarm of over 1,300 bugs attacked from all directions.

19:56 <Ali> Really?
