01:48:44 <ihope> Hey!
01:49:03 <ihope> I said something!
01:50:15 <GreyKnight> I'm very happy for you.
01:50:59 <ihope> Something about ._O being the new >_O.

02:50:29 <GregorR> Yup
02:56:09 -!- pikhq has joined.
03:05:39 <Razor-X> I have to give credit to the AP people, all their code is GPLed.
03:05:48 <pikhq> Yay.

03:06:04 <Razor-X> ``Many students avoid the Case Study because it appears too complex.'' <-- write any program that has decent functionality in the real world, and I'll bet it'll beat the complexity of this stupid case study out of the water.
03:06:13 <calamari> hi
03:06:24 <Razor-X> Feh, write a BF interpreter and it'll make the case study look like child's play.
03:07:02 <pikhq> What *is* the "case study", anyways?
03:08:04 <GreyKnight> "Hello, world"
03:08:36 <pikhq> GreyKnight: Using three functions.
03:08:43 <pikhq> void main () {
03:08:50 <pikhq> hello();
03:08:54 <pikhq> world();
03:08:55 <pikhq> }
03:09:02 <pikhq> void hello () {
03:09:09 <pikhq> printf("Hello, ");
03:09:10 <pikhq> }
03:09:12 <Razor-X> pikhq: It's a case study of marine biology.
03:09:14 <pikhq> void world () {
03:09:23 <pikhq> printf("World!\n");
03:09:23 <Razor-X> It seems that a vast majority of the test is based on code from this simulation.
03:09:23 <pikhq> }
03:09:48 <GreyKnight> Silly pikhq, you need at *least* 11 functions!
03:10:18 <pikhq> GreyKnight: One for each character?
03:10:35 <pikhq> Sounds like "Hello, World" in BFM. :p
03:10:38 <GreyKnight> Naturally.
03:11:53 <Razor-X> 'Though the advanced OOP is a bit hard to follow for me since I rarely use OOP. I need to read more on Java OOP.
03:13:30 <pikhq> Java?
03:13:47 <Razor-X> What do you think the AP Computer Science tests use? C?
03:14:46 <Razor-X> I doubt they'd introduce little mindless CS acolytes to the concepts of functional languages either (except some tail-recursion).
03:16:04 <GreyKnight> and to teach that all Lisp languages are the devil, judging from some conversations I've had
03:17:03 <Razor-X> Well, my friends in AP CS already think so because they were forced to learn car and cdr for some other test.
03:17:13 <GreyKnight> OH NOES
03:17:18 <GreyKnight> car and cdr
03:17:26 <GreyKnight> HOW WILL WE LIVE WITH OURSELVES
03:17:27 <Razor-X> And cdar and caadr :D.
03:17:35 <Razor-X> Which I still can't see the difficulty in, but I guess I've had exposure with these things.
03:20:35 <Razor-X> I still can't get over the fact that exceptions are considered advanced concepts :D.
03:21:56 <GreyKnight> How hard is it to explain the concept of "give up" :-?
03:22:36 <Razor-X> Very hard.

22:53:00 * pikhq can make his computer sing it in less. . . :p
23:06:51 <calamari> probably pretty hard to make a computer sing :)
23:09:47 <pikhq> I'll do it. . . In Brainfuck!
23:12:25 <calamari> don't forget > /dev/dsp ;)
23:12:57 <pikhq> Of course. ;)
23:13:46 <calamari> hehe that just gave me a horrible idea
23:14:25 <pikhq> macro soundmanagement {args}? :p
23:14:27 <calamari> could cheat and record it then encode the samples in bf
23:14:28 -!- ihope__ has joined.
23:14:32 <pikhq> Hahah.
23:14:49 <calamari> question becomes: how do I use /dev/dsp?
23:15:16 <calamari> okay, ls > /dev/dsp works
23:15:36 <calamari> wonder what rate it is playing at, stereo, mono, 16/8 bit etc
23:15:59 <pikhq> It's stereo 16 bit PCM, I believe.
23:17:02 <calamari> 44100?
23:17:23 <pikhq> Yeah.
23:19:31 <calamari> can't be
23:19:46 <calamari> a 44359 byte file played back for approx 5 seconds
23:20:01 <calamari> that'd be over in less than a second with those settings
23:20:34 -!- ihope__ has changed nick to ihope_.
23:22:32 <pikhq> Hmm.
23:22:36 <pikhq> Weird.
23:22:41 <pikhq> Look up the OSS specs.
23:22:45 <calamari> ahh here we go.. 44359/5.629s=7880,440576.. pretty close to 8000
23:23:10 <calamari> so my guess is 8000/8bit/mono
23:26:43 -!- GregorR-W has changed nick to AgentTeal.
23:27:04 <fizzie> That would be correct.
23:28:01 <fizzie> At least if it's the OSS (or ALSA's OSS emulation) /dev/dsp.
23:28:11 -!- AgentTeal has changed nick to GregorR-W.
23:28:19 <fizzie> But you can poke at it with ioctls to change the rate, of course.
23:28:28 <calamari> not from bf :)
23:28:42 <fizzie> Well, 8000 Hz should be enough for everyone.
23:28:55 <calamari> yeah
23:29:00 <pikhq> calamari: Thought you were the one who made EsoAPI. . . :p
23:29:04 <fizzie> You get 4 kHz tones, after all. That's something like a quarter of the hearing range.
23:29:06 <calamari> I am
