00:39 <ADragonDreaming> Time to see if I can focus enough to pack clothes into the suitcase.
00:39 <Cepheid> Hmm?
00:42 <ADragonDreaming> My dad is starting the project of doing the flooring in the house.
00:43 <ADragonDreaming> he's already torn up the carpet in the master bedroom on the second floor, and in the small bedroom, and is moving things out of the study room, and my bedroom will need to be cleared of stuff as well.
00:44 <ADragonDreaming> So I'm starting the process of getting clothes into suitcases, so as to live hotel-style for a while.
00:44 <ADragonDreaming> but packing is a ... bugbear.
00:49 <Cepheid> Ah, right, right.

01:33 <Schism> Maybe not, no. Or at least not in such circumstances.
01:35 <Cepheid> Well, the game teaches you in a tutorial how to do such high-speed turns.
01:35 <Cepheid> Ah, 330,000 credits. Time to buy a new ship.

15:24 <RazorSharpFang> My biggest concerns right now are planning for the Feb 19 expiry lot. I have 2 short puts that are ITM and 1 short call that is ITM. Thankfully the short call is covered with enough shares, I just need to ensure I have enough funds to cover potential assignment on the short puts.
15:25 <RazorSharpFang> Actually the short call expires March instead of February, so that pushes that out of this expiration cycle.
15:32 <LibrarianofHope> is this actually a profitable thing to do?
15:33 <LibrarianofHope> the amount of random factors in stocks is baffling
15:33 <RazorSharpFang> Yes. I've invested 33k AUD now worth 41k AUD
15:33 <RazorSharpFang> Actually the randomness of the stock market is exactly why I make money right now.
15:33 <LibrarianofHope> this is not your life's saving or something right?
15:34 <RazorSharpFang> No, it forms but a portion of my life's savings.
15:34 <LibrarianofHope> the lack of trump has to have made the markets stabler, i would guess
15:35 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah. As a result I'm a bit less profitable, but that's okay.

16:01 * Schism snrks at Mae. "Only died 75 times... yup, sounds about right."
16:02 <RazorSharpFang> The battery packs will say their capacity in mAH or AH (amp-hours at target voltage)
16:02 <RazorSharpFang> Which makes the calculations easy if the power supply for the computer gives you its amperage.
16:06 <Cepheid> Ah.
16:07 <Cepheid> Most just give out wattage.
16:07 <Cepheid> The amperage is actually specified via the rails, so for example..
16:07 <Cepheid> A 650 watt power supply has....
16:07 <RazorSharpFang> Which you can use to grab amperage if you know the operating voltage.
16:07 <RazorSharpFang> You know, power is voltage times current.

16:08 <Cepheid> Oh.
16:08 <Cepheid> They list the input current as 10A.

16:19 <Cepheid> As of 2011, current specific capacity of Li-ion is 100-265 Watt hours per kilogram. I'm pretty sure we've improved it since.
16:21 <RazorSharpFang> Of course, most combustable fuels will beat that right?
16:22 <Cepheid> Yep.
16:22 <Cepheid> Though, lithium-sulfur batteries apparently have extremely good energy density.
16:23 <Cepheid> At the high-end, theoretically it has a density of 2700Wh/kg.
16:23 <Cepheid> And we've already demonstrated 470Wh/kg.
16:23 <Cepheid> Which beats out kerosene.
16:24 <RazorSharpFang> Hey, that's pretty good. Are they rechargable?
16:24 <Cepheid> No idea.
16:24 <Cepheid> They do recharge, yes.
16:24 <Cepheid> Their problem is low lifespan.
16:25 <Cepheid> They degrade much more rapidly than Li-ion.
16:25 <RazorSharpFang> That is a problem for batteries.
16:25 <RazorSharpFang> Is that permanent degradation or just discharge?

19:01 <Cepheid> Again, I need a game that I can play that provides Furigana, hum, let's take a look at my Switch games.
19:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Celestia Does the Healthy Dance With You [ https://tinyurl.com/y33zz4tp ]
19:04 <Cepheid> ...
19:04 <Cepheid> Man, Shovel Knight goes the extra mile with respect to Japanese. It doesn't do furigana, but, because it's an 8-bit style game..
19:04 <Cepheid> It supports Japanese "Kana Only Mode"
19:05 <Cepheid> As was the case for many NES-era games.
19:08 <Cepheid> Of course, the reasoning for that was A) Data space limitations, and B) You're talking a 256x240 pixel screen, c'mon. If you want the kanji to be readable on such a screen, it has to be large. 2x2 tiles 8x8 pixel tiles per. And even THEN, it's hard to get enough detail for the kanji.
19:08 <Cepheid> So, 3 lines with a tile of space in between would be... 6 + 2 = 8 rows of tiles. Add in an extra 2 tiles for textbox border in height.
19:09 <Cepheid> That's 80 pixels out of your 240 pixel screen height, a third of the screen.
19:09 <Cepheid> If you limit your kanji or pictographs to 14x14 tiles, adding a 1-pixel border to them, you can remove the two rows of spacing, and bring it down to 64 pixels of screen estate vertically.
19:10 <Cepheid> Also, reduce it to two lines of kanji, get it down to 48 pixels.
19:10 <Cepheid> Er, 1 line of kanji*
19:10 <Cepheid> ... No, 2 lines, I thought I said "remove" not "reduce"
19:10 <Cepheid> Basically, kanji's a pain on pixel-art quality graphics. This is why text in such games is almost always inconsistent in style, nowadays.
19:11 <Cepheid> Readability over nostalgia.
19:11 <Cepheid> All inticreates games by default support Japanese with or without system language switching.
19:12 <Cepheid> That said, none of them support furigana.
19:14 <Cepheid> Well, I'm starting to recognize kanji, at least.
19:14 <Cepheid> Hum, from what I've read, most Nintendo games support furigana, especially their more popular ones.
19:15 <Cepheid> That being said, Nintendo being Nintendo, doesn't allow immediate access to Japanese language options.
19:15 <Cepheid> You need to switch the System language.
19:16 <Cepheid> Though, some games just outright don't do it. Hyrule Warriors for example, does not support Japanese language output.
19:18 <Cepheid> Interestingly, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate does *NOT* support Japanese output.
19:18 <Cepheid> Rise does.
19:18 <Cepheid> ... Wait, what? That initial load screen showed furigana.

19:38 <Cepheid> Man, GPU parallel computing is terrifying.
19:39 <Cepheid> It's single-instruction, multiple data. SIMD. It works by creating workgroups called waves, which represent a collection of processing elements all executing the SAME INSTRUCTION at the same time, in sequence. It's ridiculous.
19:42 <Cepheid> How does it handle the scenario in which a given instruction on one processing element is not needed? Each instruction cycle, a bit field is updated to indicate which processing elements are executing the specific instruction, and which are performing a NOP. Afterwards, the other instruction(s) are executed for the elements that performed a NOP for that previous instruction, etc.

20:50 <Schism> "Text is aligned with all the natural grace of a tapdancing penguin on speed."
20:52 <Cepheid> 'Afore I go installing a new OS though, I need to do some backing up, and that's tricky for me to do as I lack an external drive at the moment, to use.

20:56 <Schism> Cephy: And oh gods, I'd hate to be the a guest at this hotel. https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/poor-design-decisions-45__605.jpg
20:56 <Cepheid> For that, I'd look at the sides.
20:56 <Cepheid> The steps are obvious due to the side panelling.
20:57 <Cepheid> But yes, that'd introduce a lot of risk.
20:58 <Cepheid> First task, back up all of my code.
20:58 <Schism> Uhhhh... this is not a good colour for a golf ball. Whose idea was this? https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/poor-design-decisions-41__605.jpg
20:59 <Cepheid> The idea is the child of someone who works at Wilson Staff.
21:01 <Cepheid> You know, I don't quite understand how the professor intends to prevent people from cheating on today's test. There's nothing to stop a person from having something on the wall behind their webcam, or on a screen behind their webcam, and the professor would never know.
21:01 <Cepheid> Not that I plan to do this.
21:01 <Cepheid> Just saying.
21:06 <Cepheid> Huh. I just noticed something.
21:09 <Cepheid> When reading kanji, all kanji readings share the same form, as far as I can tell. Thus, if one word with kanji is read using the Japanese reading, all kanji will be read using the Japanese reading, and vice versa for the Chinese reading. No mixing of readings.
21:09 <Cepheid> Also, while I haven't confirmed this, it appears any words with kanji that end in hiragana, are by default read using Japanese reading.
21:10 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, it isn't the other way around. If it's all kanji, then it can be either or.
21:10 <Cepheid> There must be a general way of determining which to use.
21:13 <Cepheid> Turns out there's no rules.
21:13 <Cepheid> There are some general suggestions. Compound words typically use Chinese reading. Individual kanji typically use Japanese reading.
21:13 <Cepheid> But these are not guaranteed.
21:14 <Cepheid> Anyways, I got a test in 15 minutes, I'm gonna show up to the class early.
21:14 <Cepheid> That means closing everything unimportant down.
21:33 * Schism reads '55555'.

22:10 <LibrarianofHope> i did not want to come back from luch break
22:10 <LibrarianofHope> heck me
22:13 <LibrarianofHope> At any rate
22:13 * LibrarianofHope glomps ali with extreme prejudice
22:21 <Cepheid> Right, as is expected, that test didn't go flawlessly. Went better than expected, though.
22:23 <Cepheid> I blame it on my unwillingness to study up until like, yesterday, when I found a way to keep Factorio from keeping me from studying.
22:28 <Cepheid> Or any game, really.
22:29 <Cepheid> I need games that I can just let "run" for long periods of time, that being 15-30 minutes, and let them do their thing.
22:29 <Cepheid> Factorio doesn't *QUITE* allow that, what with the bugs and all, but once we hit a certain point the bugs aren't a problem, so...
22:29 <Cepheid> Honestly I want to move our base to a planet with 0% threat.
22:30 <Cepheid> Or move it to a space platform, which we deliver resources to. But I don't think Razor will take kindly to either of those.
22:51 <Schism> Hmm, yes. It is the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century. And in a few hours, it'll be 21:21.
22:53 <LibrarianofHope> so if i go to a certain area, i unlcok an easter egg?
22:57 <Schism> Pffffahahahaha. https://twitter.com/ReneeDraws/status/1351695390228303873
22:57 <LibrarianofHope> did we ever found out what the monoliths were anyway?
23:00 <Cepheid> Schism, reasonable. Completely reasonable.
23:00 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope: Art installations, then later advertising.
23:01 <Cepheid> That's literally all they were.
23:01 <Cepheid> Or people just screwing around, to scare others.
23:05 <Dappled> The monoliths were there to praise my greatness.
23:05 * Dappled ascends after doing the 3 3rds thing.
23:07 * Dappled becomes a slug.

23:11 <Schism> "Congratulations, Niles. You've 'ascended' to the form of a baby slug." "You just can't let me have anything."
23:13 <Cepheid> I hate being put on the spot to ask questions.
23:22 * LibrarianofHope ascends
23:22 * LibrarianofHope goes to the second floor
23:30 <LibrarianofHope> also
23:31 <LibrarianofHope> i aproove dappled greatness monoliths
