05:54 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

05:56 * Cepheid awakens.

05:57 <Cepheid> Morning.

05:57 <Cepheid> Weird-ass dream again.  Felt real, too, despite the nature of it.

05:58 <Cepheid> I must still be dreaming, too.  Microsoft has come out and stated they were wrong about their stance on open source.

05:59 * Ali flops into ConfusionRift

06:00 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.

06:01 <ConfusionRift> It seems to be because people are shifting to open source alternatives for their companies, probably since proprietary options are very expensive.

06:02 <Cepheid> There are pros and cons to both approaches to be honest.  I suspect .NET Core has helped them change their minds a bit.  Let's see...

06:04 <Cepheid> Looks like it was more of a "the world is changing, and we need to change as well or be left behind." mentality.

06:05 <Cepheid> Their open source initiatives likely also contributed.  Linux for Windows subsystem, their new Linux-like console app.  Open sourced .NET and C#.

06:11 *** Joins: Cepheid_ (cepheid@Pony-403pj9.oj9n.qb61.fea8.2607.IP)

06:11 <Cepheid_> Oh, right.

06:11 <Cepheid_> I stopped connecting to the VPS on my laptop for a bit.

06:11 *** Quits: Cepheid_ (cepheid@Pony-403pj9.oj9n.qb61.fea8.2607.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

06:12 <Cepheid> That's better.

06:13 <Cepheid> People, for various reasons, some legitimate, some not so much, still don't trust Microsoft, unfortunately.  So open-source development is a bit slower with them than it normally would be.

06:14 <Cepheid> The biggest concern though kinda falls apart though when you consider that even the OSI community tends to be somewhat litigation happy.

06:15 <Cepheid> The biggest concern being that they own C#, .NET, and the like, and that once it's acquired a bunch of high-profile users, they'll do a 180, and charge licensing fees and such.  That said, if they were to do that, the litigation backlash would be excessive.

06:15 <Cepheid> 'Specially since they are releasing various bits under the GPL or MIT license.

06:19 <Koopz> ...who's that Richard dude?

06:19 <ConfusionRift> Who the what?

06:21 <Cepheid> New person who showed up a week ago, why?

06:21 <Koopz> why did he greet me?

06:22 <Cepheid> Probably saw Finwe do it on a regular basis.

06:22 <Cepheid> 'Cause Finwe likes to greet people who are sometimes asleep.

06:24 <Koopz> hmm... yeah i'm not really active on IRC during weekends

06:24 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/x5TKvKH.jpg

06:25 <Ali> But its mid week

06:26 <Koopz> that's why i'm typing here

06:26 <Koopz> ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

06:28 <Ali> Get a new emoticon face, that thing doesn't even phase me

06:29 <Cepheid> So, funny observation.  One thing that aggravates me about doing software dev these days?

06:29 <Cepheid> My laptop's fan.

06:30 <Cepheid> And, I also learned something interesting and silly, today.

06:31 <Cepheid> In Filipino, apparently there are two phrases.  "Bababa ba?" and "Bababa".  These are a legitimate question and response.

06:32 <Cepheid> They are, "Going down?" and "Going down", respectively.

06:32 <Koopz> That Radeon Vega 56 i mentioned? it's semi passive cooling... if the temperature is below 50°C the fans turn off... when i built it in and used MSI Afterburner to turn them to 100% speed to see what it sounds like it basically sounded like my good old days using a laptop

06:33 <Koopz> just with more airflow happening

06:33 <Cepheid> Heh.

06:33 <Cepheid> This laptop of mine has a faulty CPU fan controller.

06:33 <Cepheid> So regardless of the CPU load or CPU temperature, it runs at 100% speed.

06:34 <Koopz> oh my

06:34 <Cepheid> And every bit of software reports that it is running at 25,500 RPM.

06:34 <Cepheid> I can't turn it off, either.

06:34 *** Quits: Colgate (rabbit@brushie.horse) (Quit: WeeChat 2.8)

06:34 <Ali> Well, Comic shops are going to be opening back up soon

06:34 <Cepheid> I've investigated everything software-wise that I can do.

06:35 <Cepheid> I even examined the ACPI code.

06:35 <Cepheid> Whatever is wrong, it's a fault in the hardware itself.

06:35 *** Joins: Colgate (rabbit@brushie.horse)

06:35 <Koopz> 25k RPM sounds uh... dangerous

06:37 <Cepheid> My laptop would be flying off in random directions, yeah.

06:37 <Cepheid> Or break apart, assuming it wasn't indestructible.

06:38 <Koopz> breaking motherboard by sheer wind force

06:38 <Koopz> i should pitch that idea to LTT

06:38 <Cepheid> The only thing I haven't done yet is physically examine the system board carefully.  And even then, I probably wouldn't find anything.

06:39 <Cepheid> What I have examined, reveals no burn or scorch marks indicative of a short circuit along all the traces.  So it's either internal chip damage, or a bad trace somewhere.

06:39 <Cepheid> I tried replacing the fan, that didn't work.

06:40 * ConfusionRift whispers. "Koopz, I think he tried to already." :P

06:40 <Cepheid> LTT?

06:40 <Cepheid> Ah.

06:41 <Koopz> what did they call that thing again?

06:41 <Koopz> Blowamatron?

06:41 * ConfusionRift nods.

06:41 <ConfusionRift> The 7K RPM mini fan?

06:41 <ConfusionRift> The one that's so fast it can cut fingers?

06:41 <Koopz> yes

06:42 <Koopz> 7k RPM are rookie numbers

06:42 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, the "blowimatron". He also tried to use two large exhaust fans that run even faster. But he was using them as exhaust, rather than intake.

06:42 <Cepheid> But anyways yeah, the noise the fan makes grates on my ears rather quickly.

06:43 <Cepheid> Especially the high pitched whine.

06:43 <Koopz> take off the cooling block and hold the fan directly onto the processor

06:43 <Cepheid> That said, I'm not sure the controller is 100% gone.  Every now and then the fan goes back to normal behaviour.

06:44 <Koopz> condensators barely holding onto the MB

06:44 * PrincessRainbows runs around ConfusionRift making silly filly noises

06:44 <Cepheid> Starting to think it's a trace somewhere that got severed.

06:45 <Cepheid> Wouldn't surprise me if it was a light short circuit somewhere caused by a cat hair.

06:45 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/R7Ui750.gif ... Really?  REALLY?

06:45 * ConfusionRift patpats and lets them continue their silly noises. :P

06:47 * Cepheid looks at the fault line. "... Why's there a robotic pony-shaped hole?" Looks over at ConfusionRift.

06:48 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;

06:49 <ConfusionRift> What's up? Oooh, I wonder what that's all about. (looks the other way)

07:00 <Cepheid> Hum.

07:00 <Cepheid> Today's task, more bugfixing.  In particular, collision resolution.

07:02 <Cepheid> Honestly, I've made a mistake with how I implemented motion.  I don't know why I didn't see the problem with the solution I was using before.

07:02 <Cepheid> On the other hand, it's easy to... "fix" in a way.

07:06 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

07:14 <Cepheid> Ironically, reverting back to the old approach introduces a new bug.  Maybe the problem isn't the system, but the algorithm I'm using.

07:16 * Cepheid thinks. "If, after a movement, I detect a collision, rather than shift the entity up or down using a mathematical formula to determine how much shift there is.."

07:17 <Cepheid> For pixel-accurate movement, the best approach would be to shift the entity up or down step by step, retesting and stopping the shift once the test meets some requirement.

07:17 <Cepheid> For floating-point motion, it's a bit different, but arguably easier.

07:18 <Cepheid> At least, for upwards slope motion, anyways.  Downwards would basically use the above approach.

07:18 <Cepheid> It consists of using the bounding box and an intersection test to find the intersection point with the highest Y coordinate.  The distance between the current Y coordinate of the bounding box and the highest Y coordinate is how much of a shift is needed.

07:20 <Cepheid> For stability reasons though, I'd prefer pixel-accuracy.

07:20 <Cepheid> I'd hate to have to deal with a bug wherein the cause is an X or Y coordinate difference of .000001

07:31 <Cepheid> And hey, guess what?

07:31 <Cepheid> The approach of "Push up one pixel, test again, push up one pixel, test again" works.

07:32 <Cepheid> ... Sort of.

07:33 <Cepheid> While it is perfectly accurate with respect to climbing slopes, if I walk up against a vertical wall it bugs out.

07:34 <Cepheid> Oh my gods why is walking up a danged slope so difficult?

07:37 <Cepheid> Full sequence of steps is like... 1) Determine if there's an intersection of entity and slope.  2) Determine direction entity is moving with respect to facing of slope.  3) Determine if entity can actually *CLIMB* the slope.  4) Displace entity based on slope, and details of 1, 2 and 3.

07:38 * Cepheid visualizes the problem.

07:39 * Cepheid determines he needs to add a new function to his polygon class that returns a list of all intersection points between two intersecting polygons.

07:40 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

07:43 * Cepheid uses ConfusionRift as a calculator.

07:43 * PrincessRainbows rolls around in the flowers before curling up under ConfusionRift with her pacifier for sleepies. Nini

07:48 * ConfusionRift lightly pats PrincessRainbows before sleeping. :P

07:54 <Cepheid> Hum.

07:54 <Cepheid> Something big went down while I was asleep.

07:55 <Cepheid> Heard a rumbling noise outside, nothing unusual.  Just a car revving it's engine.  But it woke my mother, who explained why there was a car out there in the first place.

07:55 <Cepheid> Apparently, there was a swarm of police cars and an ambulance earlier in the day by one of the houses nearby.

07:55 <Cepheid> Parents say they heard two loud bangs, and shortly after, the police car and ambulance swarm.

07:56 <Cepheid> Now there's security guards out there.

07:58 <Cepheid> Sounds like someone got shot.

08:10 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;

08:12 <Cepheid> Is it weird that this doesn't worry me one bit?

08:15 * Cepheid goes to get charging cable for headphones.

08:18 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, it's been like that. There could be an explosion, and I'm just there like "hmm, okay" and go on.

08:28 <Cepheid> ... Huh.  It just dawned on me why in the Omegascape of FF14, the group that the player is a part of is called "Alpha Group".  It was so that the devs could make an Alpha-Omega comment when you fight Omega directly. "You are the Alpha, I am the Omega."

08:29 * Cepheid gets back to coding.

08:31 <Cepheid> Now, it's not enough to simply know whether there was an intersection, and what the nearest edge intersection was.

08:33 <Cepheid> I also need to know one of either A)  Whether the edge is the slope line of the tile, or B)  Whether the slope of the closest edge is small enough such that the entity can climb it.

08:37 <Cepheid> I'm starting to question how this was all done in the past.  During the NES, SNES and Genesis era.

08:47 <ConfusionRift> Anyone know of any way to convert MIDI to OGG? I mean aside from online services.

08:48 <Cepheid> Not off-hand, no.  And even if I did, there'd be a problem with your request.

08:49 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: Leaving)

08:51 <ConfusionRift> Oh I'm sure I know of the mess that is to convert. (sighs) And that's why I don't do much using a Midi Editor. Nothing runs .midi files. Oh well.

08:54 <Koopz> i could setup my floppy disk drives and play your midis on them, record that thing and convert it to an ogg :P

09:02 <ConfusionRift> That's a bit much for like... a 1-minute midi file. :P

09:03 <Cepheid> Based on a bit of research, it looks like I got the right idea.  It's just it seems like there should be an easier way.  Apparently there isn't.

09:07 *** Quits: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

09:09 <ConfusionRift> Wait... got it? Let me check.

09:10 <ConfusionRift> It converted to WMA. Blarg.

09:11 <ConfusionRift> Sorry... WAV.

09:19 <ConfusionRift> Okay, Anvil Studio can convert to WAV and some other formats, but it's tricky, and you gotta close other taxing programs, so it can play and record the audio.

09:29 <Cepheid> Need to take a break from this.  This friggen fan is making my head feel weird with the noise and making it hard to think.  And this problem is also pissing me off, so..

09:30 <Koopz> get a new laptop, place the old one into the next room and RDP onto the old one :D

09:32 <Cepheid> I don't have any money.

09:32 <Cepheid> I'm jobless because I'm unable to prove my worth to employers, plus I'm lazy.

09:33 <Cepheid> No one will hire a person who has never completed one project.  No one will hire a person who doesn't have a university degree.  I am for all intents and purposes worthless.

09:33 <Cepheid> Oh gods here it goes again.

09:34 <Cepheid> I don't need this right now.  I do not need to start having an attack.  Piss off you little useless negative thought factory.

09:37 <Cepheid> I really just want to start raging and yelling at the little voice of doubt, depression and self-hatred in my mind to shut up, **** off, and to leave me be.

09:38 <Cepheid> But I can't.  That would wake people up and make people question my sanity.

09:42 <Cepheid> Just... shut up, you little useless, agitating, violence-inducing voice.  What the hell do you know about me?  About what I can and cannot do?  What gives you the right to override all of my thoughts, to drown them out, to make me feel like shit.  EVERY.  FOUR.  GOD.  DAMNED.  WEEKS!?

09:44 <Cepheid> I want to excise you.  Remove you.  Destroy you.  Make you cease to exist.  Rip you out of my brain, throw you to the ground, and crush you like the worthless little parasite you are.  Guh.

09:44 <Cepheid> This... is different from my usual episodes.  I am pissed, not because I am unable to achieve something.  Not because I am weak.  Not because I lack knowledge.  Not because of some failure.  I am pissed, because I want this to GO. AWAY.

09:48 <Cepheid> I am sick and tired of this.  I'm 33 years old.  I shouldn't be letting something so small and insignificant reduce me to a blubbering mess.  I shouldn't be letting it reduce me to this belief that I am worthless.  If I was worthless, then I wouldn't be able to do anything at all.

09:51 <Cepheid> I don't know if it's my repeated exposure to these episodes while under medication, or if I'm just getting better at controlling these negative thoughts and episodes, but gah.  I'm tired of it.  I am not worthless.  If I was worthless, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am.  I wouldn't have made what I have so far.  I wouldn't keep trying, despite all the setbacks.

10:03 <Lumindia_> oof

10:03 <Lumindia_> the reaver shark is getting a nerf

10:04 <Lumindia_> Reaver Shark (Nerf)

10:04 <Lumindia_> Mining power decreased from 100 to 59 (No longer able to mine Hellstone)

10:06 <ConfusionRift> What's worse is that it was dropped to 59... I believe mining power of 60 if what you need to mine Hellstone.

10:07 <ConfusionRift> never mind, 65.

10:07 * Cepheid rages and carefully removes ConfusionRift's arm left arm temporarily and starts beating a small black blob with tendrils sticking out of it with the arm.

10:07 <ConfusionRift> 0_0

10:08 * Cepheid hands the arm back. Despite being used as an impromptu club, it's still in good shape.

10:08 <ConfusionRift> My arm... well, it's very durable, to bad the stats suck. :P

10:08 <Cepheid> *It is covered in something black and gooey though*

10:10 * ConfusionRift puts it back on, and hears a mare on the other side yelling and screaming. Then hears galloping... yep, she just blasted him with a cleaning solution. Baps his head, then leaves.

10:10 <ConfusionRift> Oh... right... contamination and all.

10:12 <Cepheid> Unfortunately I don't think that's the last I'll be seeing of that thing.  But it's certainly different to get peeved off at whatever is making me guilt-trip myself, instead of being crushed under it.

10:15 <Cepheid> It's just.. gah.  What possible use could my brain have for something designed for the sole purpose of destroying itself?

10:16 * Lumindia_ sprawls on Ceph, floops ears

10:17 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "Something temporary? I dunno."

10:20 <Cepheid> Well, yeah, it's temporary.  But it doesn't explain the WHY it happens.  Like, apparently a certain action I won't describe here, is apparently the result of a part of the brain going "This is the optimal way to avoid further pain."

10:21 <Cepheid> Because the brain is apparently designed to avoid pain, among other things.

10:21 <Cepheid> So it raises the question.  Why would a part of the brain then, intentionally INDUCE pain?

10:21 <Cepheid> What is it trying to achieve in causing something that it is wired to avoid?

10:22 <ConfusionRift> I... oh... I misunderstood. I really don't know why that happens.

10:22 <Cepheid> Pain comes in physical and emotional variety.  The brain tries to avoid both.

10:23 <Cepheid> Therefore, logically, inducing pain, be it physically or emotionally, via say, inducing thoughts of worthlessness, self-doubt and so on, makes no sense.

10:27 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, that's thinking for another day when I feel philosophical.

10:31 <Cepheid> As for my problem in my game.  Take a right triangle.  Slide a square into it without rotating it or anything.  Logic tells us that the square itself should be displaced as it intersects the triangle, moving upwards a bit so that the square is always touching, but never intersecting the triangle.

10:32 <Cepheid> Easy enough to handle.

10:33 <Cepheid> But, take that same triangle.  Don't rotate it, flip it or anything like that.  Move the square to the opposite side of the triangle.  Then try to slide the square into the triangle.

10:33 <Cepheid> Logically, the square would stop moving once it hits the flat edge of the right triangle.

10:35 <Cepheid> That's what I can't solve.  Two separate cases, one which I can solve no problem.  The other, not so much.

10:36 * Lumindia_ is still on Ceph

10:36 * Lumindia_ floopy ears

10:36 <Cepheid> Can I help you Lumindia_?

10:36 <Lumindia_> nah, just booorreeeddd

10:41 <Lumindia_> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2M_22-tiYc

10:47 <Cepheid> Looks like the answer is "There's a lot of different cases that you have to handle."

10:48 <Lumindia_> remembre Outrun?

10:48 <Cepheid> Can't say I do.  I don't think I played it.

10:48 <Lumindia_> old arcade racing game from 1987

10:49 <Lumindia_> had some boppin' music

10:49 <Cepheid> Heh.

10:50 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/hajinpoka/status/1260157308228624384

10:50 * Cepheid hands Lumindia_ some dango. It seems overly large.

10:50 <Lumindia_> o vo

10:50 <Lumindia_> but about a persimmon?

10:51 * Cepheid wanders off mindlessly to a village.

10:54 * ConfusionRift boops Lumindia_, he remembers. :P

10:55 * Cepheid returns with a persimmon for Lumindia_.

10:55 <ConfusionRift> It was a fun thing, and yes, the music was really good.

11:02 <Lumindia_> I love citypop music

11:10 <ConfusionRift> I also got OutRun 2006, which probably had an absurd amount of time spent playing it. :P Couldn't unlock everything though.

11:13 <Cepheid> MHWorld needs a fist weapon class.  So that when I get pissed off I can go give Bazelgeuse a one-two combo to the face.

11:22 <ConfusionRift> I think Frontier had something like that. Unfortunately, not gonna be seeing that outside of Japan.

11:23 <Cepheid> Yep.

11:23 * Cepheid coughs up an iron lung.

11:28 * Cepheid explores Reddit for several seconds. Then promptly leaves. "Outside of the dedicated subreddits for cute stuff, how does anyone use this website without wanting to murder someone else?"

11:32 <Cepheid> Seems like in even the most benign subreddits, threats are flung around nilly willy.  "I like dogs." "Go kill yourself.  No, in fact, wait there while I go to kill you instead."

11:37 <ConfusionRift> Would like to say that I'm surprised

11:46 <Cepheid> And then there are things posted on it that make you want to submerge your brain into a bucket of bleach.

11:47 <RichardMist> hoii everyponies! *waves with smile*

11:47 <RazorSharpFang> There's a really old concept, the idea of defilement; the idea that there's kinds of dirtiness that just can't be cleaned away.

11:48 * Filly_Nightmares curls up on ConfusionRift and goes sleepies on

11:48 *** Filly_Nightmares is now known as Sleeping_Nightmares

11:48 * Sleeping_Nightmares purrs happily

11:58 <ConfusionRift> Hallo, RichardMist.

11:58 * ConfusionRift lightly pats Sleeping_Nightmares.

11:58 <RichardMist> good night Sleeping_Nightmares

11:58 <RichardMist> heyo ConfusionRift

11:59 <Cepheid> I got a furry black thing on me.

12:02 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1256771732100337665?s=19 Basically what it is.  Same position, orientation.

12:04 <Cepheid> I'll never be able to take another cat into this house while he lives.  He is too attached to me and gets jealous.

12:18 <ConfusionRift> Dogs... that was just... okay, that was coincidence.

12:27 <ConfusionRift> And the best part of it all. We are ALL allergic to cats! Huzzah!

12:32 * ConfusionRift sighs. Doesn't want to go down that hole.

12:33 * ConfusionRift instead grabs a bunch of cat fur bunnies and throws them all over Cepheid's room. :P

12:55 <Cepheid> Sometimes I wonder if I should try incorporating entities in my dreams into my game.  For bosses and such.

12:55 <Cepheid> Fell asleep for a bit.  More weird dreams.  In fact this was a continuation of last nights dreams.

13:00 <ConfusionRift> I say if the design is something that can cause trauma or some negative reaction... I would avoid it.

13:00 <ConfusionRift> Otherwise, up to you.

13:00 <Cepheid> Large, wingless lizard with extensive draconic traits to it.  Purple in color.  Scales reflected light like they were crystals.  Had six limbs.  Four legs which it could retract into it's hide, two front legs which also doubled as arms with hands tipped in clawed fingers for manipulating things.  Along it's body, several vents that would open up and unleash a bright, intense purple-blue flame.  It used these vents as thrusters to f

13:01 <Cepheid> Not malicious in nature.  Seemed polite.

13:04 <Cepheid> Seemed to be an intermediary between humans and a draconic species.

13:05 <Cepheid> Though not necessarily on good terms with them.  Or at least, it didn't have any obligations to treat them nicely.  It was discussing with me how to get into a structure of theirs to steal something.

13:06 <Cepheid> Strangely, not something that it wanted.  Something it felt I needed.

13:08 <Cepheid> The rest of the dream prior to me encountering it involved me being shown the world around me by a group of travelers.  Something happened to Earth, and it was overrun by many smaller species of monsters.  This tool i was to steal was meant to help me do something regarding the monsters.  So, a weapon.

13:12 <Cepheid> That said I have no idea what the weapon or item was.  Just that I needed to obtain it, and that at the time I woke up, I was receiving information on how to break in and steal it without getting caught.

13:19 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that happens often. the name will probably pop out of nowhere, just out of the blue.

15:14 <Cepheid> ...

15:14 * Cepheid peels back the lid on a can of green olives. Kitties come rushing into the kitchen. "No, it's not tuna."

15:15 <Stormspark> mine do that too, no matter what I'm opening

15:16 <Schism> Some cats love olives.

15:16 <Cepheid> So I learned.  It has an effect like catnip.

15:16 <Cepheid> Trying right now with Spitfire.  He is kinda just sniffing it and....  Yep he just batted it onto the floor.

15:16 <Cepheid> No catnip effects for him I guess.

15:18 * Cepheid leaves the bowl with the juice out for him.

15:18 <Cepheid> Well, he is drinking it.

15:20 <Cepheid> Tizzy is the same.  Sniffs and pokes the olive, but won't lick or eat it.

15:25 <Cepheid> I should check the news to verify the story my mother told me.  Should be something about it now.

15:28 <Cepheid> Nothing in the local news.  Reddit, perhaps?

15:30 <Cepheid> Nothing of note.  You'd think there would be more information on a couple large bangs, then a police and ambulance presence.

17:56 <Cepheid> Right.  End of day for me.  Let's see if I have any weird dreams again.  I suspect my vyvanse, with what it does, is resulting in my odd dreams because I'm taking the stuff before bed.  I find it helps with the overwhelming urge to work, while keeping my mind sharp and interested in coding.
