00:01 * ThatAnonPony boops Schism.

00:02 * Schism provides the sofapone with some lemon cranberry squares.

00:03 * ThatAnonPony is somewhat confused by this geometric treat...

00:05 <Schism> They're a little bit of an odd mixture.  The bottom is oatmeal with a nice brown sugar and flour mixture, almost like an oatmeal cookie.  Then, it's topped with a mixture of diced dried cranberries, sour cream, and a LOT of sugar.  Finally, that's topped with lemon curd.

00:06 <Schism> Drizzled lovingly atop.

00:14 <Schism> Ultimately, it's rather rich, but also quite tasty.  o3o

00:15 <ThatAnonPony> Sounds it. o3o

00:15 *** Joins: Jackie (Jackie@demon.maid.pone.offers.cookies)

00:15 <Schism> Some folks even drizzle coconut over top.

00:16 * Jackie doesn't understand why there's accidentals in C major pieces

00:17 * Lumindia shares meatloaf with jackie

00:17 <Schism> Jackie: Because sometimes you actually want something to break up the melody so that it's not completely jejune.

00:17 * Schism melts cheese over Lumin's meatloaf.

00:19 <Schism> "The World is currently full." ...okay.

00:19 <Schism> I should make spaghetti and meatballs sometime.

00:19 <Jackie> Schism, I just thought because of chords

00:20 <Jackie> I mean, melodies are actually made of chords

00:20 <Schism> Hey, sometimes a slightly discordant note can add a bit of depth.

00:21 <Jackie> Wouldn't adding accidentals make identifying a scale and key harder?

00:23 <Jackie> There are mathematically...2,048 scales so it would take forevee

00:39 * Jackie pets Surreal_Nightmares

00:45 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

00:45 * Filly_Nightmares licks Jackie and rolls around

01:02 <PinkieShy> ...... :/

01:02 <PinkieShy> I got this feeling in my gut the reason behind youtube giving me 'error happened' on eveyr video is because i block ads..

01:02 <PinkieShy> Don't tell me they are getting into the mess that twitch does and embedding the actual ads into the videos itself making adblocking impossible..

01:04 <Ali> PinkieShy, that's been happening to me now as well

01:05 <PinkieShy> Even though I hate the youtube ads with a passion..

01:07 <PinkieShy> Hmm

01:07 <PinkieShy> Adblock plus disabled.. The videos load without issue.. But there is a ton of ads.. lol

01:07 <PinkieShy> Keep getting 1 of 2 ads that can't be skipped..

01:33 <Cepheid> Try using uBlock Origin instead.

02:04 <Schism> Landlord paid.  Excuse me, I need to take a few moments.

02:05 <Schism> I'll probably have to do so multiple times.  *grabs pillow*

02:06 <Schism> It turns out that I only had one scream bottled up.  How peculiar.

02:06 <Schism> Maybe two.

02:09 <Schism> On consideration, I should possibly take my scream pillow and tear my throat raw.

02:13 * Schism sighs, sneezing repeatedly.

02:14 <Schism> I am glad that this baseline cold is getting me to go through a whole bottle of hand sanitizer in three weeks, and wipe down -everything.-

02:19 <Golden> Home at last

02:44 <Schism> Lumindia: Raise a glass to your SCREE!

02:49 <Stormspark> funniest thing I've seen someone say in awhile

02:49 <Stormspark> "Batpony foals go momeeeeeeeee"

02:50 <Stormspark> Adblock Plus is not a reputable adblocker, that's the source of your issues

02:50 <Stormspark> they take money to whitelist ads even if you have them blocked

02:50 <Stormspark> get Ublock origin

02:50 <Stormspark> I don't get any errors on Youtube

02:50 <Stormspark> and for mobile devices you want to get Newpipe so you don't get ads

02:51 <Stormspark> Adblock Plus hasn't been reputable for years

03:04 <Schism> uBlock Origin has been my go-to.

03:04 <Schism> However, beyond that -- I suggest noScript.

03:16 * Cepheid loads up Grim Dawn. New update. Checks notes. "No more partial components? Huzza! But... why?"

03:16 <Schism> Okay.  That is really nice, being able to just scream into a pillow and say 'hey, here's all my rage and anger and et cetera and hey, whatever else'.

03:17 <Cepheid> Hmm.

03:17 <Schism> Admittedly, screaming into a pillow results in some concerned family members.

03:18 <Cepheid> I need maximum 10,000 kills to get revered status with Devil's Crossing.

03:18 <Cepheid> I wonder if normal difficulty kills count.

03:18 <Schism> Probably~

03:19 <Cepheid> Nope.

03:20 <Cepheid> Quests, bounties and killing appropriate-difficulty targets is required.

03:20 <Schism> So, Cepheid.  Have you ever screamed into a pillow?

03:21 <Schism> All things considered, it sounds like you really, really need to.

03:21 <Cepheid> Can't say I have.

03:22 <Schism> Give it a try.  Stuff a pillow against your face, and let out a long, angry scream.

03:22 <Schism> I promise, it will help.

03:22 <Cepheid> Will do, when I am in need of it.  Currently my mood os contained by 3mg of ativan and 50mg of seroquel

03:23 <Cepheid> nd it is unbelievably interesting.

03:23 <Schism> Oh.  Well, obviously, when you're in need of it.

03:30 <Cepheid> Whee, slurring speech and blowing stuff up in Grim Dawn.

03:30 <Schism> Better than going the wrong way in Rabi-Ribi.

03:37 * Cepheid walks into Bourbon's office, staggering around, holding his head. <Bourbon> "... Are you *DRUNK*?"

03:38 <Cepheid> This is fun, but I shouldn't do it again.  Not without cameras around and a voice headset  hooked up to me.

03:39 <Cepheid> And maybe Doom Eternal in my hands.

03:41 <Schism> Cepheid, I'm... kind of concerned.

03:42 <Schism> Damnit.  I need to rest, and therefore can't determine if I could play a game with you.  Outside, of course, of Hedgewars.

03:43 <Schism> We could also do Ticket to Ride.

03:44 <Cepheid> I'm playing Grim Dawn at the moment.  Meanwhile, I'm fine.

03:44 <Schism> Alright. More insulin!

03:44 <Cepheid> My biggest concern is that when I get up, my body wants to lurch off towards the front-right.  No idea why.

03:45 <Cepheid> I'm gonna do a bit more murder, then call it a night.

03:45 <Schism> I have the same issue, so you're at least not alone.

03:45 <Schism> I was dealing with it just yesterday.

13:24 <Schism> Surprisingly, they haven't put a premium on the Wind-Up Cloud and Wind-Up Tifa yet.

13:37 <Jackie> Is that valid sheet music Schism?

13:37 <Schism> Good heavens no.

13:37 <Schism> It is, however, a wonderful parody.

13:38 <Jackie> Schism, but a time signature like 4/6 is valid

13:38 <Schism> Certainly it is.

13:39 <Jackie> Using 4 notes of a sextuplet

13:40 <Jackie> Which is equivalent to 2/3

13:41 <Jackie> Schism, is there similar sheet music like this, but it's actually valid?

13:42 <Schism> You... might want to look up the works of P.D.Q. Bach.

13:42 <Schism> And listen to the music, too.

13:42 <Jackie> Bach?

13:45 <Jackie> Schism, well I'm finding real people

13:45 <Jackie> Preferably classical era

13:47 <Schism> Nononono.  PDQ Bach.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._D._Q._Bach  AKA Peter Schickele, who has done such things as the 1712 Overture.

13:50 <Jackie> Doesn't seem to be classicial era stuff

13:50 <ConfusionRift> ...

13:51 <Schism> It's not, but Schickele is a master of the art, and comes up with parodies and amusements based on the art.

13:51 <Jackie> I mean I'm finding one that isn't used for sarcastic things

13:51 <Jackie> As in, they seriously used the weird stuff

13:52 <Schism> Oh, okay.  ... Nothing in the past.  You could look up the sheet music for U.N. Owen Was Her, but of course that's modern.  I don't know of anything which is that absurd, though checking some sheet music for Mozart's "The Barber of Figaro" might be a good start.

13:52 <Jackie> Like has a lot of articulations, dynamics, chords etc

13:52 <Schism> Rossini.  Not Mozart.  Get it together, brain.

13:52 <Schism> The Barber of Seville, too.  What the heck is up with me this morning?

13:52 <Jackie> Which one has a lot of articulations?

13:53 <Jackie> Does Mozart actually have?

13:53 <Schism> I'm all over the place.  And... you know, I don't seem to recall, I think I have that whole score.  Rossini, Jackie.

18:14 <Cepheid> Today's plan, figure out world-player collisions.

18:14 <Cepheid> I know I need the SAT, and there's some oddities I'll have to deal with.

18:15 <Schism> Sometimes, I'm very, very silly.  https://twitter.com/theogrin/status/1234178694043906051

18:16 <Cepheid> First, implement the separating axis theorem.  Fun, fun.

18:18 <Cepheid> For those not in the know:  It's a collision detection algorithm that tries to determine if there is a line, the separating axis, between two polygons.  If there is, there's no collision.  If there isn't, there's a collision.  There's an extra benefit added to it.

18:18 <Cepheid> It tells you how much one polygon intersects the other.

18:19 <Cepheid> Which is *REALLY* important if you want to place characters correctly.

18:21 <Cepheid> FINWE!  I need a quick reminder.  A polygon is considered convex if, and only if, all the interior angles are strictly less than 180 degrees(Or PI radians), correct?

18:21 <Schism> You know, I would very much like to see the kind of thing that could end James Nicoll, ideally from half a province away.

18:22 <Schism> He's not worried about the Coronavirus coming to Kitchener, because the man is evidently unkillable.

18:23 <Schism> ( https://twitter.com/jamesdnicoll/status/1234172074492600321 )

18:27 <Cepheid> I may as well be the same as him. :P

18:29 <Schism> You really are.  He is also known for taking in stray cats around the KW region.

18:29 <Cepheid> ... I need to do some math.

18:29 <Cepheid> With graph paper no less.

18:29 <Schism> Black cats walk over James Nicoll.

18:37 <Cepheid> ... Oh, that's why the math isn't coming out right.

18:38 <Cepheid> Vector A is point i to point i + 1.  Vector B is point i + 1 to point i + 2.  I want the angle between vector A and B.

18:53 <Cepheid> ...

18:54 <Cepheid> Have I legitimately forgotten how to do basic linear algebra or something?

18:56 <Cepheid> No, I am doing it correctly.

19:00 <Cepheid> ... Oh... OH!

19:01 <Cepheid> I had the sign wrong on one of the points.

19:07 <Cepheid> Bah, still not quite right.

19:07 * Cepheid is trying to create a function to determine if a polygon is convex or not.

19:09 *** Joins: Ali (Ali@Pony-2j6olo.4nua.5fca.1702.2600.IP)

19:09 *** ChanServ sets mode: +qo Ali Ali

19:10 * Cepheid uses stack overflow.

19:14 <Ali> Its super effective?

19:16 *** Pony|33231 is now known as ThatAnonPony

19:16 * ThatAnonPony waves.

19:21 <Cepheid> Yep.  Worked.  Though I should probably go over the algorithm and figure out why.

19:21 <Cepheid> As for why I need to know about convex vs non-convex, it's important in collision detection.

19:21 <Cepheid> It's simpler to test convex vs non-convex.

19:24 <Cepheid> Hum, actually I just remembered how to do it mathematically.

19:31 <Schism> "Are you dangerous?" "Well, YES, I have a brain, don't I?"

19:35 <Cepheid> And there we are, simple Polygon class that can store an arbitrary polygon, then check if it's convex.

19:35 <Cepheid> Now for the "fun" part.

19:50 * Cepheid collapses into the room coughing, gagging and apparently dying.

19:52 <Cepheid> Ah, another post from the Dead Crab.

19:54 * PrincessRainbows boops Ali and giggles

19:57 <Finwe> Cepheid: Correct.

19:58 * ThatAnonPony boops a Finwe.

19:58 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

19:58 <Finwe> Or, more rigorously, a set S is convex iff ax + (1-a)y \in S \forall x,u

19:59 <Finwe> x,y \in S, 0 ≤ a ≤ 1.

20:00 <Lumindia> h e c k

20:00 <Cepheid> And a being what?

20:02 <Finwe> A real number between 0 and 1.

20:02 <Lumindia> your face is a real number

20:02 <Cepheid> Well, obviously.  But where do I get the value a from?

20:03 <Finwe> The condition must be true for all values of a between 0 and 1.

20:05 <Finwe> In terms of geometry, for any two points in a convex set, the line segment connecting the points must also be in the set.

20:06 <Finwe> Capt Koopz, Lt ThatAnonPony.

20:06 <Finwe> o7

20:08 <Schism> Cepheid: Sara-chan is streaming the Sonic games this month.

20:08 <Cepheid> No idea who that be.

20:08 <Schism> Sara Leen, of XSEED and also one of those people from decades ago.

20:08 <Cepheid> Ah.

20:09 * ThatAnonPony o7's at Finwe.

20:09 * Cepheid has to focus to not distract self with gaming.

20:10 <Schism> It's a good stream.  o3o  https://www.twitch.tv/saralene  Tirek might want to read this.

20:10 <Schism> watch*

20:11 * Finwe noms on Doctor Who S12E10.

20:12 * Cepheid noms on the Separating Axis Theorem.

20:16 *** Quits: matttheshadowman (matthewhowa@the.shadowy.corners) (Client exited)

20:16 * Cepheid starts by retrieving all the normals of a polygon.

20:17 * Cepheid then makes a project-onto-axis function.

20:23 * Cepheid applies Finwe to SAT.

20:35 <Cepheid> Okay, there.  Got that part implemented.

21:48 <Schism> Of course not.

21:49 <Schism> It's the US, and critical medicines are just a way of saying 'you're too /poor/ to deserve to live.'

22:21 * Cepheid relaxes.

22:21 <Cepheid> I think I need a break.

22:22 <Cepheid> Lesse, started at around mm...

22:22 <Cepheid> 2 PM or so?  And it's now... 5:30 PM?  3 and a half hours of work.  Yeah, probably break time.

22:22 <Cepheid> And my method of break time?

22:22 <Cepheid> La-Mulana 2!

22:23 <Cepheid> I never finished it.  I should make an effort to fix that.

22:39 <Schism> I think I'll be taking a shower, and then going for a walk.
