02:13:22 <zzo38> I have made a table to review four online quiz systems: Internet Quiz Engine, Quizilla, OkCupid, and FunTrivia. Some information I got from Wikipedia, some by trying, and the first one is my own program. If you have information about these, or suggest for additional systems to compare, tell me please.
02:14:08 -!- wsaadus has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
02:14:27 <zzo38> Do you know the maximum number of questions and maximum choices per question and maximum number of results for Quizilla? Do you know what programming language Quizilla and FunTrivia are written in?
02:15:10 <quintopia> zzo38: what are your requirements for "quiz system"? does something like surveymonkey count?
02:16:18 <zzo38> quintopia: No. (Although I may make a way to conduct polls using IRC, in future.) (Also, if you have any feature suggestion of Internet Quiz Engine, tell me that too.)
02:16:30 <zzo38> (Or, if you have any comparison rows to suggest in the table.)
02:17:35 <zzo38> quintopia: It is difficult. I used Wikipedia's article about "Online quiz" for now
02:18:18 <quintopia> i didnt even know okc was still supporting their quiz system
02:18:25 <zzo38> (There is a German service there, but I do not know well reading German, so I will omit that one unless someone can provide me all the information for each row in the table)
02:20:23 <zzo38> quintopia: As far as I can tell, they are, and no account is required to run the quiz editor on OkCupid, either. And it appears to have some similarities to Internet Quiz Engine.

06:50:07 <olsner> maybe if you do that you can't stick that HD 1080p logo on the back of it
06:59:57 -!- pikhq has joined.
07:03:21 <fizzie> You can't stick in 480p video, it's not legal.
07:03:50 <fizzie> The primary video stream must be one of six "HD" formats, or one of two (480i at NTSC rates, 576i at PAL) "SD" ones.

07:06:04 <pikhq> Almost all 480p video is 480p24... And one of the weirder things about MPEG-2 container formats is it's possible to mux 480p24 so that it plays back as a 480i30 stream, which *ought* to be legal on Blu-ray...
07:06:18 <pikhq> (it is on DVDs, and is *extensively* used)
07:06:58 <fizzie> "720x480x59.94-i" is the 480i format, if that's what you mean, yes.
07:07:02 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
07:07:53 <pikhq> ... Wait, it's 720x480? The single most ridiculous choice of resolutions?
07:08:21 <fizzie> That's what the pdf above says.
07:08:35 <pikhq> Kay, so the people who did Blu-ray were clueless.
07:08:57 <fizzie> It also says that "real" 480p24 (and 480p23.976) is allowed in the secondary video stream.
07:09:18 <fizzie> (For the picture-in-picture feature.)
07:10:24 <pikhq> 720x480 includes the nominal analogue blanking, making it the single least convenient digital video resolution to deal with.
07:10:58 <pikhq> And so nearly everything handles it wrong, instead just playing it as straight 4:3 or 16:9.
07:12:12 <pikhq> Instead of either playing it at the appropriate pixel aspect ratio, or imitating analog TV behavior by displaying the active picture area as 4:3 or 16:9.

07:27:28 <fizzie> Well, I mean, one assumes they're following the DVD-Video spec there; according to secondary sources (the official isn't anywhere, of course) it allows (for NTSC) 720x480 and 704x480, but actual "anamorphic" 16:9 only when the "full-D1" (720x480) resolution is used.

17:35:29 <cheater_> apparently i need to know OOP PHP5.
17:36:14 <cheater_> and i need to know how to write APIs.

17:41:11 <cheater_> kmc: come to europe and write clusters with me
17:41:18 <cheater_> we'll implement NFS over HTTPS

17:41:29 <cheater_> i thought you kept up with my migrations
17:41:50 <cheater_> because fuck moving for a job right now
17:42:54 <cheater_> actually we could implement NFS over Token Ring over Frame Relay over RS-485 over UDP over HTTP

18:07:55 <cheater_> and the AIs not having that much time to themselves
18:08:37 <cheater_> and i think that's kind of bullshit, because people should be able to play back courses to the AI in accelerated time

18:10:36 <cheater_> you could have it not only trained by the most amazing people in the world, but also have them go back and fix possible issues
18:11:02 <cheater_> it'd be like the road to perfecting the human psyche

18:22:00 <Taneb> I reckon computers are big enough, just nobody's figured out the trick yet

22:16:31 <tiMMe> after a bit of research I found this irc chan
22:16:55 <HackEgo> Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design and deployment! For more information, check out our wiki: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Main_Page. (For the other kind of esoterica, try #esoteric on irc.dal.net.)
22:17:26 <tiMMe> I could use some help with decoding a ''turing esoteric'' code
22:17:54 <ais523> you have a program in an esolang but don't know the language? or something else?
22:18:14 <tiMMe> no, Its a hobby of mine.. and to get to the next hint.. i need to crack this one
22:18:25 <tiMMe> I had no idea what this was before 10 min ago

22:24:50 <zzo38> I cannot figure it out yet, but I tried. I can see it consists of letters P,Q,R,S,T,U,V and spaces.
22:25:23 <ais523> tiMMe: are you sure that's an esolang? or just a regular code?
22:25:29 <ais523> I guess regular codes are almost ontopic here too…
22:25:48 <tiMMe> well I asked for another hint, and he said turing esoteric
22:25:50 <zzo38> Including long runs of Q, some runs of T as well. But, I do am just guessing it to be a regular code, and not any kind of computer program

22:26:35 <tiMMe> Its probably only a code, not a computer program
22:27:00 <ais523> this channel's mostly about programming
22:27:03 <tiMMe> if you decypher it, it will give me directions, coordinates or something
22:27:12 <tiMMe> okay.. sorry about that. had no idea
22:27:38 <tiMMe> Do you have any idea where I could get help with this type of thing?
22:27:56 <ais523> here's probably not actually that bad a place, even though it's offtopic
22:28:03 <Gregor> There is probably a significance to the offsets between the letters, i.e. it's encoding something like 1,0,0,1,1,-2,0,0,...
22:28:23 <tiMMe> Well you guys came to more conclutions in 2 min, than me and my friends did in 4-5 hours :P

22:28:44 <zzo38> Discuss it here if you want; we are often not on topic anyways, but you can try something more relevant channel may work
22:28:50 <zzo38> Gregor: I was thinking of that too
22:29:16 <ais523> perhaps the six letters correspond to the six 3D compass directions?
22:29:24 <ais523> could be forming the route through a 3D maze
22:29:25 <zzo38> I also noticed the sequence "PQQQRSQQQQPTUSQV PQQQQQQQQQRSTTTTTTTTTPTUSTV" appearing twice
22:29:55 <zzo38> Also, every code word ends with "V"
22:30:04 <tiMMe> Above the "code" it says this : Crack the code to find its whereabouts... | That's why I think its coordinates
22:30:08 <Gregor> Oh, good catches, both.
22:30:44 <Gregor> In fact, they all contain PTUS, then zero or more (but few) characters, then V at the end.
22:30:58 <Gregor> (And all start with PQQ, but that's a bit more obvious)
22:31:23 <zzo38> Actually, the offsets between the letters do not seem relevant to me due to the way what letters are used and their patterns
22:31:38 <zzo38> Gregor: But, yes those too, are something to consider

22:45:21 <zzo38> That is difficult.
22:46:23 <itidus21> could it be one of those languages where its not concerned with the symbols but the patterns they form?
22:47:32 <zzo38> Nevertheless I think that the spaces delimit code words and each one is separate from each other

22:59:38 -!- Nisstyre has changed nick to trollstyre.
23:00:31 <itidus21> 1)each codeword always starts with P
23:00:38 <itidus21> 2)after intial P there is always a sequence of 2 - 9 Q's
23:00:48 <itidus21> 3)after the sequence of Q's there is always RS
23:01:02 <itidus21> 4)the RS is always followed by either a sequence of 3 - 10 Q's or a sequence of 3 - 9 T's
23:03:24 <itidus21> 5)this is always followed by PTU
23:04:57 <oklopol> looks like it could be regular
23:05:14 <oklopol> i mean the language from which words between spaces are taken
23:06:25 <Lumpio_> tiMMe: So is this from Dropbox or notch

23:08:20 <tiMMe> dropbox or notch ? what do you mean
23:08:55 <tiMMe> anyway, someone cracked it for me ;D on a norwegian forum
23:09:10 <Lumpio_> ook, what was this from anyways
23:11:45 <itidus21> im guessing that Q and T are like brainfuck's + and - in some way
23:12:03 <tiMMe> I assumed that Q was + since it was the most of it. And since there were an equal amount of R and U they had to be [ and ], R came first so it had to be [. I saw on a example program that they started with > So I assumed that was P. I guessed the rest, only 7 tsigns total, so few options.
23:14:01 <ais523> oklopol: are you making a Haskell joke?
23:14:18 <Lumpio_> ...somehow it made me think of brainfuck too
23:14:22 <ais523> I'm not sure if we have a defined punishment for Haskell jokes
23:14:24 <Lumpio_> But I didn't bother to actually run it.
23:14:28 <ais523> but an undefined punishment is arguably worse
23:14:28 <oklopol> i just don't like puzzles where you have to know something to crack it
23:14:37 <Lumpio_> Looks like rather crude brainfuck though
23:14:45 <Lumpio_> Probably a full program for each letter of output
23:15:12 <zzo38> Lumpio_: It is what I thought, too
23:15:19 <zzo38> But perhaps not quite
23:15:41 <itidus21> i should not have given such red herrings
23:16:20 <oklopol> yeah okay so letters are really that short to produce based on the constants page on esolang
23:16:24 <zzo38> Or maybe each code word is a program or something else but standalone, and put together. Either by letter, or by numbers...
