00:38:46 <Taneb> oerjan, I just found out that while I was watching these movies, a fire occured in my flat complex thing!
00:39:05 <Taneb> Apparently they had to evacuate and some people have to be rehoused
00:39:06 <zzo38> Have you played other pinball games?
00:39:50 <oerjan> have you played ball-less pinball games
00:40:01 <oerjan> or pin-less, for that matter.
00:40:18 <kmc> Taneb: .... wowo
00:40:22 <kmc> Taneb: glad you are not on fire
00:40:44 <Taneb> It was a different block, I think
00:41:09 <kmc> (here I assume that if you were on fire, you'd deal with that problem before getting on IRC)
00:43:05 <Taneb> (if I was on fire I'd log in to IRC and say something like "help im on fire what do")
00:43:32 <zzo38> oerjan: I don't think you can; you can't make a pinball game if there is no ball, or no pin for the ball to bounce against (well, some have no pins but there are still walls to bounce against)
00:43:42 <oerjan> huh apparently flipperless pinball was a thing before the flippers were invented
00:44:02 <zzo38> Yes in a movie theatre once I have played a pinball game with no pins; it was the one to win gum balls
00:44:30 <zzo38> oerjan: Yes and sometimes it is still being played, especially on the computer, I think, flipperless pinball games are being made
00:45:31 <zzo38> A few people have tried to make flipperless pinball games just by removing the flippers from a flippered game, although that has bad results; best is to design the table layout to work with flipperless.
00:45:45 <ais523> I think the flippers are an improvement
00:46:31 <zzo38> ais523: W ell, kind of, yes you can make a lot of flippered pinball games, which is an improvement, although pinball games can be made that work just fine without any flippers.
00:46:32 <Taneb> Weren't flippers added to get around gambling laws?
00:46:59 <zzo38> Taneb: I read somewhere that playing more than one ball for a single coin was added to get around gambling laws, but not flippers.
00:47:55 <Sgeo> Flippers makes more sense as a workaround for gambling laws
00:48:02 <Sgeo> Which doesn't mean it's true ofc
00:48:03 <kmc> what's the law?
00:48:19 <zzo38> Even just today I play a flipperless pinball game that actually does have one flipper, although the player has no direct control over it; it flips whenever one of two bumpers are hit (these bumpers are close enough that there is a reasonable chance that the flipper will hit the ball if it does that)

00:51:02 <ais523> we were discussing the connection error
00:52:36 <Taneb> Anyone know how to install .fon fonts in Ubuntu?
00:53:27 <zzo38> Many modern flipperless games I have played on computer omit the tilt sensor, although some flippered games do too (such as Pokemon Pinball). (I don't think tilt sensor is suitable for the computer game anyways; you have to push a key to nudge and the computer simulation doesn't have to move the table far enough to result a tilt anyways, therefore it shouldn't be needed.)
00:54:17 <kmc> the peer is coming from inside the house
00:55:01 <zzo38> Most computer pinball games just tilt if you nudge too often. Alternatives I have seen are in Spade Cadet, it tilts if you hold down the nudge key for too long instead, and in Knickknack it won't let you nudge more often than once a second.
00:55:25 <zzo38> (The nudge key will simply do nothing if you push it too often.)
00:56:10 <zzo38> I have heard from someone once of a pinball table that tilts if you hold down the flipper button for too long, too.
00:56:54 <ais523> zzo38: I've played one that tilts if you press the flipper buttons too hard
00:57:00 <ais523> presumably people kept doing that and breaking it
00:57:22 <zzo38> ais523: Yes, I suppose that would work.
00:59:38 <zzo38> My opinion is a computer pinball game needs no tilt penalty; a physical pinball game does need a tilt penalty to prevent lifting or breaking it.
01:00:55 <Bike> i'd be impressed if a computer pinball game had a real tilt sensor
01:01:20 <zzo38> Bike: Maybe such thing can be made using Wii remotes
01:01:51 <ais523> or the accelerometer in a smartphone
01:01:55 <Bike> wii pinball, with virtual flippers.
01:02:07 <ais523> actually, smartphones would be pretty suited to tilt-sensitive pinball
01:02:35 <Bike> even i have a phone game that uses the orientation sensor.
01:02:51 <zzo38> Bike: Well you could use two of the buttons as flippers and one as plunger (and one for pause); or make a flipperless game so only the plunger button is needed.
01:03:06 -!- azaq231 has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
01:03:08 <Bike> no, no, you have two remotes, each of which is a flipper.
01:03:37 <zzo38> Bike: Then how should you nudge? It would make nudging confusing wouldn't it?
01:03:49 <Bike> you gotta mooooove your body
01:04:05 -!- Taneb has quit (Quit: Leaving).
01:05:34 <zzo38> In Pokemon Pinball bonus stages, once the timer expires the flippers will stop working; however you can still nudge. In the Meowth stage, Meowth stops moving and stops throwing money on the board, although any remaining money can still be hit with the ball, so nudging the table to make the ball hit them would help, however the flippers don't work so if the money is too high you probably cannot hit it anymore.

01:10:18 <zzo38> My computer makes some unusual noise do you know how to fix it?
01:10:36 <kmc> depends on the noise
01:11:40 <zzo38> It seem to make the noise while simulating the physics of the pinball game; when it is paused, it doesn't make such noise though. It does make noise in other times too though sometimes
01:11:56 <zzo38> I also heard something knocking in the computer.
01:13:56 <zzo38> Also when listing directory and other stuff; perhaps it is when doing a lot of computations at once, it is making a noise.
01:15:02 <zzo38> Also like I said before, sometimes the picture seems to have an imperfect clock rate.
01:15:26 <zzo38> Does this have something to do with it too?
01:16:36 <Bike> does anything in a computer even make noise besides the fan? the disks i guess if you're a pleb
01:17:50 <kmc> sometimes the capacitors start to hum / whine
01:17:54 <zzo38> Yes the disks make noise but I think it is a different noise
01:17:55 <kmc> also sometimes they explode
01:18:05 <zzo38> kmc: Why do the capacitors start to hum / whine?
01:18:07 <kmc> coils too. power supplies definitely make noise
01:18:09 <kmc> zzo38: i don't know
01:18:12 <shachaf> sometimes the cpu makes noise
01:18:25 <zzo38> Why does the CPU make noise?
01:18:29 <kmc> if you're pushing reasonable amps at 60 Hz then odds are high that something will mechanically vibrate at 60 Hz
01:19:06 <zzo38> It didn't make these noises yesterday (although the picture had imperfect clock rate yesterday)

01:23:11 <zzo38> Perhaps it is the CPU making noise but I don't know how it would do that. Or at least it has something to do with the CPU; I don't know if it is the CPU doing this or not.

01:32:50 <Bike> ok that was pretty good.
01:33:26 <ais523> oh wow, I've accidentally designed a call-by-name function interface in C
01:33:29 <ais523> this is unexpectedly awesome
01:33:38 <ais523> and yeah, that was an awesome pun
01:33:44 <zzo38> The noise does seem to be when the CPU is doing a lot of things.
01:34:00 <ais523> oh, metasepia isn't here
01:34:02 <zzo38> ais523: What call-by-name function interface in C did you design?
01:34:10 <oerjan> it goes where boily goes
01:34:15 <ais523> zzo38: the library calls into a plugin to ask it to update someting
01:34:22 <ais523> then the plugin has to call back into the library to ask what to update
01:34:39 <ais523> this is how you implement a call-by-name interface in a call-by-value language
01:34:43 <ais523> only I did it by mistake
01:36:17 <Bike> archive.org has backed up the united states government's web presence. it's the beginning of the end, folks.
01:37:25 <ais523> it's only the real beginning of the end in like two or three weaks
01:37:31 <ais523> when the US defaults on its loans
01:37:47 <Bike> no this is much more real than that.
01:37:50 <ais523> I'm not sure whether or not that would completely destroy the world economy, and it's /really worrying/ that I'm not sure
01:38:19 <Bike> why would defaulting on loans destroy the world economy
01:39:06 <ais523> Bike: giving a loan to someone creates money out of thin air; the person who loaned it out still has it because the debt is worth value, and the person it was loaned to /also/ has it because they can spend it
01:39:14 <ais523> if the loan is repaid, everything works out fine
01:39:42 <ais523> if it isn't, though, some of the created money simply vanishes, and it can take a long time for the financial systems to work out where it vanished from
01:39:52 <ais523> because of all the recursive loaning that's going on
01:40:03 <ais523> thus, defaulting causes some amount of uncertainty as to the existence of money
01:40:20 <ais523> a really really large default causes a really really large amount of money to become very uncertain
01:40:35 <ais523> and it's hard to have a functioning economy in a situation where you can't work out how much anyone actually owns
01:40:42 <zzo38> I looked and found someone says the power supply is making noise because the CPU is using too much power.
01:40:49 <Fiora> what would it mean for the US to default on its loans given that the US also defines/controls the value of the dollar?
01:41:17 <elliott> does anyone actually believe the US will pay off its debts as it stands?
01:41:41 <Fiora> well, the US does pay of its debts, it just issues new ones, right?
01:41:43 <ais523> Fiora: well they could pay them off by just artificially creating that many dollars, but that would cause the value of all the existing dollars to reduce
01:41:48 <Bike> if triply imaginary money destroyed the economy i'd be living in a cave rn
01:42:02 <ais523> in proportion to the ratio between the amount that already existed, and the amount printed
01:42:32 <ais523> it's quite possible that if they just didn't pay, the value of the dollar would drop by a similar amount for a similar reason (because not paying, and paying with freshly minted money, is pretty much equivalent)
01:43:29 <ais523> the US's national debt is of a similar value to its entire GDP, meaning that I guess the value of the dollar would approximately halve
01:44:10 <ais523> and that'd have some pretty crazy knock-on effects in the world economy too
01:44:14 <oerjan> guess who is making estimates out of thin air
01:44:14 <Fiora> GDP isn't assets though, is it...?
01:44:34 <Fiora> or money supply, I guess...
01:45:13 <ais523> I'm not massively good at enonomics
01:45:18 <ais523> I live with an economist, but it's only microeconomics
01:45:30 <ais523> that's why I have to make rough guesses
01:45:34 <ais523> rather than actually knowing
01:45:37 <Bike> "Debt held by the public as a percentage of GDP rose from 34.7% GDP in 2000 to 40.5% in 2008 and 67.7% in 2011."
01:46:00 <Bike> It's 108% if you include states and smaller municipalities' debts. which doesn't make sense here of course.
01:46:01 <ais523> well, it's more maths than economics
01:46:20 <ais523> Bike: it's also above 100% if you include intergovernmental loans, according to Wikipedia
01:46:27 <ais523> which possibly are relevant here
01:47:05 <zzo38> I moved the computer slightly and the noise is now reduced, although I am not sure if I can still hear it or not.
01:47:12 <ais523> err, intragovernmental
01:47:12 <Bike> "History - See also: United States debt-ceiling crisis of 2011 and United States debt-ceiling crisis of 2013" good article
01:48:53 <ais523> also apparently many of the US loans have interest rates below inflation
01:48:57 <ais523> so they become smaller over time
01:49:55 <Bike> ah right, this is where the Rogoff and Reinhart study was
01:51:05 <Fiora> ais523: yeah, that's the whole reason behind quantitative easing
01:51:09 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:51:12 <Fiora> like if I remember right
01:51:21 <Fiora> the government regulates inflation by adjusting the rates on government loans
01:51:32 <Fiora> but recently like a few years back those rates reached... 0%
01:51:36 <Fiora> and inflation was still too low
01:51:52 <Fiora> so they had the fed start buying its own loans to try to get inflation to go up
01:52:00 <Bike> looking forward to the extension of interest rates into the imaginary axis.
01:52:08 <Fiora> which is kind of the only thing they can do since you can't really go below zero?
01:54:30 <zzo38> The noise is still there, although it is reduced a bit from before.
01:55:05 <Bike> actually, continuously compounded interest is an exponential function, isn't it. with an imaginary rate would you spiral outwards
01:56:42 <oerjan> exponential with imaginary rate ~= sine or cosine
01:57:42 <oerjan> e^(a+ib) = e^a * (cos b + i sin b)
01:57:51 <ais523> oerjan: well it's more rotatey than a sine or cosine
01:57:56 <ais523> it has both real and imaginary components
01:58:29 <oerjan> in any case, the imaginary component causes cyclic behavior, not growth.
02:00:25 <ais523> actually the complex exponential function is one of the few four-dimensional objects that it'd be really useful to be able to visualise
02:01:01 <Bike> maybe i'm just actually this dumb, but shouldn't it grow as the real part grows.
02:01:09 <Sgeo> Can too little inflation be bad?
02:01:58 <oerjan> Bike: yes, but that's caused by the real component, not the imaginary one
02:02:08 <ais523> Sgeo: negative inflation is normally considered to be a total disaster
02:02:14 <ais523> although too much positive inflation is also bad
02:02:36 <Sgeo> negative inflation = depression?
02:03:35 <oerjan> when inflation is negative, money gets worth more over time, so no one has an incentive to use more than absolutely necessary
02:03:57 <oerjan> which hurts investment and productivity
02:04:43 <ais523> this is one of the main criticisms against bitcoin
02:04:52 <Sgeo> Why not literally print money during deflation? Doesn't printing money increase inflation?
02:04:57 <ais523> that it seems designed for it to be a bad idea for anyone to ever spend it
02:05:05 <ais523> Sgeo: yeah, that's one possible way to fix deflation
02:05:06 <Sgeo> ais523: like the pizza?
02:05:22 <ais523> probably quite a common one in practice, too
02:05:36 <ais523> but the thing about economics is, changing anything has all sorts of knock-on effects
02:05:46 <ais523> this is why I'm so against the Euro (whilst mostly being a fan of the EU)
02:06:04 <ais523> pegging countries' currencies to each other means that there are fewer dials you can adjust to try to fix a broken economy
02:06:05 <Bike> because you're worried about nonspecific effects from any change?

03:13:01 <oerjan> ais523: no http://c-faq.com/malloc/ptrafterfree.html

03:13:54 <ais523> I guess I'll fix this later
03:14:02 <ais523> it's unlikely to be a problem in any sane implementation
03:14:23 <zzo38> The listed temperature in the BIOS menu was below 60 C (which is what the setting for the shutdown temperature is)
03:20:30 <ais523> actualy, I'll fix it via converting all copies of that pointer to a pointer to static memory just before the free
03:20:36 <ais523> apart from the copy I'm actually freeing
03:21:08 <ais523> oh, here's a stupid bit of API design for oyu
03:21:15 <ais523> libpng requires the use of setjmp to avoid errors
03:21:37 <ais523> it also requires you to free its structures via a function which takes a pointer to a pointer to its structures as an argument
03:22:01 <ais523> e.g. if I want to free a png_ptr, I call something along the lines of png_free(&png_ptr), although the actual function has more arguments
03:22:35 <ais523> now, if my png_ptr is stack allocated, it has to be volatile because of the setjmp (I want to be able to free it after an error)
03:22:53 <ais523> however, the free function doesn't take a png_struct * volatile *
03:23:00 <ais523> so I have to copy it to another variable just to be able to free it

06:07:01 <ais523> the one about netiquette
06:07:03 <ais523> I linked it a while back
06:07:09 <ais523> can't remember the number
06:07:22 <ais523> also, a bug in my program just filled the screen with smiley faes
06:07:31 <ais523> then double-freed when I tried to exit it
06:07:39 <shachaf> Hmm, the RFC says too use them sparingly.
06:07:41 <ais523> valgrinding it now to catch the double free
06:07:53 <ais523> in case it gives a hint as to where the smiley faces are coming from
06:07:55 <shachaf> silly ais523. free pointers, not doubles.
06:08:12 <ais523> (that isn't "character 0x01 in code page 437", which is the most likely cause that that particular character was rendered)
06:09:22 <shachaf> That sounds like a strange bug.
06:10:26 <ais523> it's like the code's accidentally copying from the font rather than where it should be copying from
06:10:40 <shachaf> "Wait overnight to send emotional responses to messages. If you have really strong feelings about a subject, indicate it via FLAME ON/OFF enclosures."
06:11:14 <ais523> yup, that's exactly what it was doing
06:12:27 <shikhin> shachaf: That's from the RFC?
06:13:52 <ais523> oh wow, now this is pretty
06:15:02 <ais523> hmm... there are two issues with this:
06:15:17 <ais523> a) SDL2 doesn't seem to be rendering to texture, it's just rendering directly to the screen
06:15:27 <ais523> b) I probably have the color channels in the wrong order
06:15:47 <ais523> before, the files I tested it with used only white and transparent
06:16:06 <ais523> which conveniently, are 0xffffffff and 0x00000000 in the 32bpp RGBA format I'm using
06:17:00 <ais523> this is meant to be opaque and dark gray, but instead it's semitransparent and red
06:17:17 <ais523> which leads me to conclude that the alpha channel is being interpreted as red
06:17:28 <ais523> perhaps I have the endianness backwards

18:09:00 <elliott> Bike: well, a 25% drop in value doesn't sound that abnormal for bitcoin.
18:09:12 <Bike> that's why it's funny, yeah

18:16:29 <Bike> it's gonna be great when we see criminal incompetence all laid out like this since it's the future and all
18:16:48 <Bike> so uh, did the guy actually get murdered
18:17:50 <mnoqy> zzo38: clicking suggests one of the moving parts is brushing up against something. that'd mean fans or spinning discs, i guess?
18:18:40 <mnoqy> bad video could be because of a bunch of things. is the monitor okay? is the video card okay? are the cables okay? are you okay?
18:19:00 <elliott> Bike: well it doesn't seem like the person who allegedly murdered them would have any reason to do it for the price given, assuming that comment is accurate
18:19:05 <elliott> unless they just like killing people.
18:19:25 <Bike> elliott: maybe they do just like killing people! i dont' "know" the "criminal" "mindset"

18:25:17 <Bike> good news, bitcoin is back up to $120 after dropping from $140 to $110 in thirty minutes
18:25:57 <Bike> your investments are safe. unless they were in drugs.
18:26:12 <olsner> hmm, are the wars on terror and drugs halted then?
18:26:15 <zzo38> Now I found this "HWMonitor" program. Other than the temperature it also lists voltages and fan speeds. I notice that the -12V seems to be wrong; it is at -4 instead of -12 as it should be.
18:26:35 <olsner> that would be p. great for peace on earth etc
18:26:46 <mnoqy> Bike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmVQ-tpggyY
18:27:02 <Bike> alas, i don't see people makin stupid $250 sales to try to inflate the price
18:27:18 <zzo38> It lists the "THRM" temperature at 44 C
18:27:34 <Bike> mnoqy: good stuff in the relateds here
18:27:36 <zzo38> "TMPIN2" is at 45 C
18:27:56 <zzo38> Actally it is down to 44 now and sometimes even 43 but these are the max values
18:28:13 <zzo38> "TMPIN1" doesn't seem to work; it says 0 C.
18:28:36 <zzo38> The "FANIN0" is at 2860 RPM. Is this proper?
18:29:35 <zzo38> The hard drive temperature is at 37 C. Is this proper?
18:30:13 <zzo38> (I have two hard drives in my computer though; perhaps one doesn't have a temperature sensor?)
18:32:11 <zzo38> Perhaps the power supply is bad because the -12 voltage is at -4.
18:32:32 <zzo38> But I already replaced it once.
18:32:39 * boily stands far, far away from zzo38's machine
18:32:55 * boily yells “EVERYTHING IS FINE AND PROPER, AT LEAST FROM HERE!”
18:34:56 <zzo38> I also notice a "Fans PWM" section although all three values are 0%.
18:40:08 <zzo38> Maybe it would help to underclock the CPU, although I looked in the BIOS menu and the minimum setting is 100 and that is what it is set to. (The maximum setting is 132. I don't know what units these are in.)

19:48:55 <Fiora> it was really simple and easy
19:49:40 <Fiora> I was going to use mtgox but then I realized they were requiring some crazy fancy identity verification and stuff and I really didn't want to hassle with that
19:49:51 <Fiora> (I should probably be glad I didn't use them now -_-)
19:50:47 <boily> same reason I didn't mtgox: my identity is my identity. okay with prooving that I am boily, but they are a little bit... overboard with all that.

20:41:14 <ais523> C++ can be awesome sometimes
20:41:30 <ais523> (the first clog is from <iostream>, the second from <cmath>)
20:41:56 <kmc> left shift clog by clog of e
20:42:31 <ais523> it's more a case of "how do you manage to give two identifiers in the standard library the same name"
20:44:46 <kmc> well they were introduced by C++ and C99 respectively, I think
20:44:53 <kmc> so maybe the committees don't talk to each other as much as they should ;P
20:45:23 <ais523> apparently it's not a problem unless the one in <cmath> is a macro
20:45:37 <ais523> because in C, the first clog doesn't exist, and in C++, it can distinguish
20:46:03 <kmc> makes sense
20:46:17 <ais523> (because of overloading)
20:46:40 <kmc> just to be safe they should give the first clog an operator() which calls the other one
20:47:01 <olsner> if clog is a function macro it still works, I think? not sure if it portably works of course

21:30:27 <tswett> Turns out that my new language is pretty hard to work with.
21:32:42 <tswett> Certain things would be made significantly easier if you could specify that one rule takes priority over another.
21:35:58 <tswett> Like lambda calculus. You could say that the rule (replace (var X) with (var Y) in (var X)): (var Y); takes precedence over the rule (replace (var X) with (var Y) in (var Z): (var Z);.

22:06:55 <fizzie> coppro: http://translate.google.com/#fi/en/kaikki%20maat%20te%20riemuitkaatte and click on the speaker icon -- it's very close.
22:07:08 <coppro> that sounds like effort :P

22:15:01 <Bike> verilog why do you not have an expressional cond. come on. come on
22:16:54 <oerjan> boily: bons and les were really words, right?
22:18:24 <boily> oerjan: I confirm «pavées», «bons», «pari», «croit» and «les» are real, common modern French words.
22:19:18 <boily> (paved FEM. PLUR., good PLUR., bet, (he) believes, the PLUR.)
22:21:03 <oerjan> il croit qu'ils sont bons mots
22:22:18 <boily> sorry if I sound pedantic, but: «il croit que ce sont de bons mots.»
22:23:06 <boily> at least you conjugate your verbs better than most francophones.
22:24:17 <oerjan> also it's really annoying to use google translate for french when my browser refuses to accept ´ as a working dead key
22:24:59 <oerjan> well i was going to look up érrent
22:25:27 <boily> that one comes very close to «errent» (they wander).
22:26:05 <oerjan> on an errand, no doubt
22:26:07 <coppro> boily: j'ai compté «cuis», mais pas «pavées»

22:28:20 <coppro> boily: ce sont «pari» et «pavées»?
22:29:04 <boily> oerjan: nearly. third person, so «cuit».
22:29:42 <boily> coppro: a bet, and paved, as in paved roads: «routes pavées».

23:23:09 <HackEgo> 266) <Gregor> Ohheywait, I can make it a raytracer instead of a photon tracer so long as I run time backwards.
23:23:23 <shachaf> It's just pointless and stupid.
23:23:47 <Bike> my quotes are better than that quote, and my quotes are the bottom of the barrel. there you have it
23:24:05 <shachaf> It doesn't meet whatever quality standards the quote database ought to have.

23:25:12 <Taneb> I've just seen someone run past me in Sailor Moon cosplay (I think) with a Pikachu backpack]
23:26:03 <Bike> the witching hour
23:27:18 <Taneb> Phantom_Hoover, she (or possibly he) was leaving university accommodation
23:28:15 <Fiora> maybe she was at a party or larp type thing with friends?
23:29:07 <Fiora> well okay my college had midnight larp type things but that was on friday or saturday.
23:29:59 <Bike> pretty sure we were warned about midnight larping by jack chick.
23:30:28 <Fiora> it was actually people running around the main lecture complex with duct-tape daggers
23:31:44 <Phantom_Hoover> well that just sounds like a recipe for unpleasant misunderstandings
23:32:14 <Bike> pleasant knifeterstandings
23:32:21 <kmc> http://www.mit.edu/~assassin/
23:32:50 <kmc> we played Capture the Flag using the steam tunnels, does that count as LARP
23:33:06 <Bike> depends. did you pretend to have fur?
23:33:21 <Fiora> (I don't think that thing was very larpy. I knew someone who did actual larp though, she had a lot of fun with it)
23:36:01 <oerjan> the intersection is probably non-empty, but they are entirely orthogonal concepts.
