00:05 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I need more tylenol.

00:28 <Lumindia> so for those getting Doom Eternal, what difficulty shall you be playing on and why is it Ultra-Violence or Nightmare?

00:32 <Schism> In the original DOOM and DOOM 2, Ultra-Violence was the penultimate mode, considered to be 'extra hard'.  Nightmare, meanwhile, was construed to be COMPLETELY UNFAIR, and therefore the typical challenger will probably run on that before dialing it back to a tamer mode.

00:34 <Schism> Nightmare had such delights as continually respawning enemies.

00:38 * Schism also provides Cepheid with a menthol goop, for to rub on muscles.

00:40 <Schism> Ladies and gentlemen, the ultimate artist tweet.  https://twitter.com/KBSpangler/status/1234254129515634688

00:41 <Cepheid> \Heh.

00:41 <Cepheid> And yeah, the difficulties for Doom were slightly backwards because of the fact that on one mode, monsters regenerate, wasn't it?

00:41 <Schism> Just draw every hand with a thumb on both sides and erase the one that doesn't fit.

00:42 <Schism> Yeah, mobs respawn on Nightmare mode.

00:42 <Schism> Mind you, if you're spending more than 5 minutes on a DOOM level you're probably new to the game.

00:42 * Cepheid grabs the Snaps program, and grabs Mantra.

00:43 <Schism> Semi-useful.  Got the pillar yet?

00:43 <Lumindia> well in Doom '16, and presumably Eternal, Nightmare is just a step up from UV

00:43 <Lumindia> it's Ultra-Nightmare that's the new challenge mode

00:43 <Cepheid> ... And I forgot about that trap.

00:44 <Lumindia> where it's basically an ironman run

00:44 <Cepheid> No pillar, Schism.

00:44 <Lumindia> One death and your run is over

00:44 <Cepheid> I actually know where it is in this game.  Just can't reach it.  Yet.

00:45 <Schism> Ah, lovely.

00:48 <Schism> This is... accurate.  https://twitter.com/FreyjaErlings/status/1234099498940588032

00:48 * Ali flops over Schism

00:50 * Schism pings Cepheid's PM. Also, provides Ali with some vegetarian sushi! Rice, avocado, asparagus, scrambled egg, and maybe some tomato, all wrapped in nori and rice with a bit of black pepper and salt on it.

00:53 <Cepheid> I can reach the pillar now, I think.

01:23 * PinkieShy hugs Ali

01:23 * Ali leans into hugs.

01:38 <Schism> Hi, Databyte!

01:39 * Schism provides the DBB with a hug and a warm sweater woven out of delicious pasta.

01:46 <DataByteBrony> Been a good while xD

01:48 <PinkieShy> Oh I forgot to say... Happy 1st day of March!!! :D

01:48 * PinkieShy blasts the party cannons and the cake cannons

01:49 * PinkieShy points out the kind of cake in each cake cannon: Carrot cake, Coffee Cake, Confetti cake..

01:54 * Schism punches himself in the shoulder. "Work, arm! WORK!"

01:56 <PinkieShy> 2020 is becoming a weird year.. But weirder things ahead I suppose.

02:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2087 [ http://tinyurl.com/rxngzbv ]

02:26 <Schism> I am sorry, but I am hoping that 2020 is the year that Mitch McConnell turns into a puff of turtle-flavoured smoke.

02:27 <Schism> Let that rat bastard burn.

02:28 <PinkieShy> Random thing I just want to say.. A few years ago I saw one of my neighbors find a very dangerous snake in their pool they didn't clean out for like 5 years..

02:29 <Schism> I hope that the poor snek was at least well fed.

02:29 <PinkieShy> They ended up grabbing the snake by its tail end and hitting its head again the side of the pool.. Making the head come detached.. o_o

02:29 <Schism> um.

02:29 <PinkieShy> Yea..

02:29 <Schism> Well, that is a way to kill a snek.

02:30 <Schism> Without knowledge of whether or not it was hazardous, that's the proper disposal technique.

02:31 <Schism> Okay, that was fun.

02:32 * Schism deals with some stomach cramps from eating bad food.

02:32 <Schism> Or, rather, from the aftermath of eating bad food.

02:33 <Schism> The toilet has seen some use.

02:37 <PinkieShy> Speaking of toilets.. Landlord still hasn't been by... :/

02:37 <PinkieShy> I'm getting fed up with this man.. We've now told him probably 100 times in 3-4 years now about the toilet needing repair.. STil no luck

02:38 <PinkieShy> I'll give him till end of this month.. If nothing then I'll just have to do the last resort.. :/

02:38 <PinkieShy> This house has 2 bathrooms and 1 of them has been broke for 3-4 years now..

02:40 * Schism takes a Starburst. It is entirely too sour and sugary and has nothing of value in it, but damned if it doesn't take his mind off the entirely off-putting chicken he just tried to eat.

02:41 <Schism> It's also red.

02:52 * Schism rubs his eyes after using a bit of menthol to clean his hands. "... halp."

02:52 <Schism> Harmless, but ow.

02:57 <ADragonDreaming> ouch

03:48 <Schism> So, my brother found a pack of tarot cards in his room.  I thought those were mine.  It so transpires that we now have two packs of Rider-Waite cards.

03:48 <Schism> I'm a little bit disconcerted by this.

03:51 <Schism> We never purchased a second pack.

07:58 * Ali boops ConfusionRift with an image of her base area. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/792009307527345214/7CEAFBE2526D22CED7C1A41FFDFDE5EF775B2D6C/

07:58 * PrincessRainbows boops ConfusionRift and giggles

08:00 <ConfusionRift> Ali: That's a lot of walling... and I see a supply line. :P

08:01 <Ali> Eeyup, belt has coal and ammo, with the turrets being fed by coal inserters so power is never a problem

08:02 <ConfusionRift> They do pollute, but very little. And have to use slow belts, otherwise they can't grab the coal.

08:03 <ConfusionRift> Then again, you can also put fast belts, and put a slower one right in front of the inserter.

08:04 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, I wonder if there's a way to produce one-way power.

08:06 <Ali> What do you mean one way power?

08:09 <ConfusionRift> Send, but not receive. So basically, I was thinking on maybe having a way to send power to some accumulators, which would be linked to turrets. The idea was to section off power to turrets, keeping that power away from the rest of the base. So if the base goes out, the turrets would be under their own power.

08:10 * ConfusionRift facehoofs. "Or just add a steam generator there, since there's coal. But that creates pollution."

08:10 <ConfusionRift> ignore me. I'm dumb at the moment.

08:11 <Ali> Huh I just learned something

08:11 <Ali> You can have miners deposit into assemblers

08:11 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?

08:11 <ConfusionRift> ...excuse me?

08:12 <Ali> I need some landfill so I put 3 miners around an assembler 1

08:12 <Ali> And apperently its inserting it directly into it.

08:12 <ConfusionRift> You mean... drills?

08:14 * Ali nod nods

08:15 <Ali> My question is Rifty, should I keep going coal power or just try to go solar?

08:15 <ConfusionRift> Drills output to whatever is a valid container, or the ground if there's nothing. So yeah, it should work on assemblers, as long as their recipe requires the raw material.

08:17 <ConfusionRift> Up to you. Coal is a bit easier to deal with, but pollutes like crazy. And with the more power you need, the worse it gets. Solar is tricky, because you need a lot of space, materials, and the time to assemble a good solar generator.

08:17 <Ali> I know, and getting Nuclear is risky without the logic network

08:18 <Ali> And I'd like to have the generators somewhere NOT near an edge of the base to let the stink not waft over a ton of bugs.

08:18 <Colgate> unrelated to factorio, but I started playing mount and blade: warband today, and according to steam, it thought that game was somehow related to factorio

08:18 <Ali> Snerk

08:18 <Colgate> in their "similar to" section

08:18 <ConfusionRift> Nuclear is doable without, but becomes super wasteful. You can get away with simple logic.

08:19 <Ali> The biggest issue I'd have right now ConfusionRift is the oil %

08:19 <ConfusionRift> Colgate: Yep, sounds about right. :P Actually, some RTS games are probably on the same boat, which makes no sense.

08:19 <Ali> Not sure if I can allocate enough stuff to sulfuric acid and able to mine and process the ore and get the setup done

08:20 <Ali> You need a ton of materials to get a nuclear reactor setup going.

08:20 <ConfusionRift> That too.

08:21 <ConfusionRift> A lot of really complex components, on top of refining.

08:23 <ConfusionRift> With solar you need a lot of panels, and a lot of accumulators... oh and power stations, since those distribute the most at a wider area.

08:25 <Ali> Eeyup, and I'm only in the red and green phase

08:27 <ConfusionRift> Actually, just thought of something, but you need to use simple logic. The idea is to use solar during the day, and steam during the night.

08:54 <ConfusionRift> Of course. :P

08:55 <Ali> I'm never a fan of just 'feeding' the bugs evolution by letting them smash their faces into your defense.  Just I'm in a odd transition at the moment

08:56 <Ali> I'm trying to set up a more centralized staging area for crafting in the middle of the open space in the base

08:56 <Ali> I'm not sure if they're still in the easy to squish phase anymore and I need to really work on expansion

15:06 <Schism> Well, there'll always be MU*s, so that's at least a thing.  MUF, that is.

15:06 <Schism> Any demand for INTERCAL, though, is purely imaginary.

15:45 <Schism> Silly ideas for feast days which have comparatively little basis in reality.

15:46 <Cepheid> Heh.

15:48 <Cepheid> Ah, nothing like seeing people complain about the usage of the word "hacking."

15:49 <Cepheid> Because when they see it associated with programming, they think it's a misnomer, because of the media definition of hacking.

15:50 <Cepheid> If anything, the original definition is still accurate to this day.

15:50 <Schism> Well, a hack is something unexpected which works.

15:50 <Cepheid> Hacking together code that hopefully does the intended goal and doesn't break. :P

15:50 <Schism> To put it in the plainest terms.

15:51 <Schism> It's like shoving together two ideas and not expressing surprise when it turns out to work.  A hack job, or... yeah.

15:51 <Cepheid> More or less.

15:52 <Schism> One example of a hack job: https://twitter.com/theogrin/status/1234498990370164738

15:53 <Cepheid> Heh.

15:54 * Cepheid wishes he had about $140 right now.

16:01 <Cepheid> Turns out my SAT implementation is still bugged.  So I'd much rather rely on a textbook now, rather than the Internet, which seems unreliable with respect to the SAT.

16:02 <Schism> ... the SAT is, roughly speaking, a general test.  It is a very, very basic test.  You're in no danger of failing.

16:02 <Cepheid> ...

16:02 <Cepheid> Not that SAT.

16:03 <Cepheid> It's a collision detection test called the Separating Axis Theorem test.

16:03 <Schism> Oh, some other kind of aptitude test.  Sorry.

16:03 <Cepheid> Basically, the theorem states that if a hyperplane P can be placed between two convex shapes, then they do not overlap.

16:04 <Schism> Check if two objects collide.  Baaaah.

16:04 <Cepheid> Not just that.

16:04 <Cepheid> How MUCH they intersect.

16:04 <Cepheid> Which is important.

16:04 <Schism> Good point.  

16:04 <Schism> By the way, one moment, need insulin.  @_@

16:04 <Cepheid> Because if you have two objects intersecting, and they're not supposed to be intersecting, then you need to know how far to move one object so that they are not intersecting anymore.

16:04 <Cepheid> You alright?

16:05 <Schism> Yah, but I need my 34 units.

16:07 <Cepheid> Right, right.

16:07 <Cepheid> I thought maybe you were having a bad episode or something.

16:07 <Cepheid> You've... been known to have incidents.

16:07 <Cepheid> For the record, I got the SAT implemented.  What I lack is a proper implementation of the "how much do the two objects intersect?" part.

16:07 <Schism> Yes, but I've been better about that.  

16:08 <Schism> My ... let's call them incidents ... have been much more infrequent of late.  So have yours.

16:08 <Cepheid> Yep.

16:09 <Cepheid> Speaking of blood-glucose, it's been doing great as of late.

16:09 <Cepheid> The medication I've been put on is working just fine.  No side-effects either.

16:09 <Schism> Mine has been getting better too.  So, hey!  Healthier bunch of jerkfaces.

16:09 <Cepheid> Yep.

16:09 <Cepheid> Well, in my case, it KIND of helps that my dad had me use one of his FreeStyle Libre sensors.

16:10 <Cepheid> I started to get an idea as to which foods and eating habits were causing the largest spikes and such.

16:10 <Schism> I have never, ever been on board with those sensors, but if it helps you, then yeah.

16:10 <Cepheid> They're accurate enough.

16:10 <Cepheid> They track up to 8 hours of readings.

16:10 <Schism> There we are, then.

16:11 <Cepheid> And it's better than constantly pricking yourself in the same spot over and over until your finger(s) are black and blue.

16:11 <Schism> They never stuck to my skin, they never stuck to my VEIN, and they were a pain in the tail to work with.

16:11 <Schism> So instead, I do the pin-prick.

16:11 <Cepheid> Hum.  When was the last time you tried them?

16:11 <Schism> Like 7 years ago.

16:11 <Cepheid> Oh, geeze

16:12 <Cepheid> Schism, the new ones are small, and really hard to remove.

16:12 <Cepheid> Like, I had to apply excessive force just to remove it.

16:12 <Schism> Yeah, even then, I'm good with the old style.

16:12 <Schism> Which is hilarious.

16:12 <Cepheid> Fair enough.

16:12 <Cepheid> To each their own.

16:12 <Schism> That is kinda silly, all things considered.

16:12 <Cepheid> Myself, I prefer them because my memory is garbage.  I can never remember to do the test strip approach.

16:13 <Cepheid> Even if the readings aren't 100% accurate, they still give me a better idea as to what my eating habits do to my blood-glucose.

16:14 * Cepheid removes the MTV code from his implementation of the SAT. Starts reading other documents about how best to calculate it.

16:22 <Schism> MTV code.  I know that it has nothing to do with that channel, but what.

16:24 <Cepheid> Minimum Translation Vector.

16:24 <Cepheid> A vector describing the amount one object or the other must move in order for there to no longer be a collision.

16:25 <Schism> Hmm.

16:25 <Schism> I see it, and I can grok, but ehng.

16:29 <Cepheid> Hum, the website I relied upon only covered two of the three tests required for a robust implementation.  Wonder if that's why I'm having trouble.

16:34 <Cepheid> ... Actually, I don't think I can do this third test using 2D vectors.

16:34 <Cepheid> Requires a cross product.

16:34 * Cepheid just converts them to 3D vectors with a Z component of 1. o3o

16:35 <Cepheid> A 2D "cross product" *IS* a thing, but it results in a scaler.  I need a vector, here.

16:39 * Cepheid needs grid paper.

16:46 <Cepheid> ... Right, I'm not even sure this test applies to 2D.

16:55 <Cepheid> ... Okay, so there's where the algorithm is failing.  The website I initially used suggested early-out.  But if I want the minimum translation vector, I can't do early-out.

16:56 <Cepheid> Early-out being "One test failed, so there's no need to continue the rest of the tests." basically.

22:54 <Cepheid> Yep.

22:55 <Schism> Of course, $500 million USD is, for Apple, not even a drop in the godsforsaken bucket.

22:55 <Schism> Start with $5 billion and go from there.

23:05 <Cepheid> COVID-19 creeps ever closer to Ottawa.

23:06 <Schism> Yeah, I'm probably going to catch the damn plague.

23:08 <Cepheid> I most certainly will.  Almost a guarantee.

23:09 <Cepheid> My parents will bring it home with them.  Won't contract it, but it will be passed onto me.

23:11 <Cepheid> My dad more likely than my mother.  Both deal with people, but my dad walks into the homes of people on a regular basis.  Try as much as he will to keep clean, but he will bring it home.  Assuming he hasn't already.  Been coughing up a storm and showing flu-like symptoms such as nausea and vomiting rarely.

23:17 <Lumindia> nope

23:17 <Lumindia> probably gonna grab it

23:17 <Schism> It is really REALLY really good.

23:17 <Lumindia> and bought

23:23 <Schism> Taoki, view Cepheid's link.

23:28 * Cepheid watches videos of real-world-replica planes in modded besiege crash into various things. Is that morbid?

23:29 <Schism> Seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.  

23:29 <Schism> I mean, like building a LEGO sculpture and throwing into a wall, it's a matter of simply enjoying the viscera.

23:30 <Schism> throwing it into*

23:32 <Schism> about.  Bleh, I'm tired.

23:36 <Schism> Catharsis, that's the word.

23:39 <Schism> It really is like throwing a LEGO sculpture at the wall.  Simply amusing to watch.

23:57 <Lumindia> even better if it's in slow motion

23:57 <Lumindia> that's REALLY satisfying to watch

23:58 <Lumindia> well, anything breaking in slow motion is fun

23:59 <Schism> Yes.  For some reason.  o3o
