10:41:02 -!- MoALTz has joined.
10:41:54 <int-e> Which would be reasonable really... but rather than telling the customers that there's a new fee, they buried the fact at 1/3 of 8k terms of service.
10:44:59 <int-e> Gregor might want to know that? It's point 9.18 of their ToS, it may or may not apply, depends on whether you have a monthly paid product.
10:45:34 <Vorpal> int-e: I have had great experience with linode. Way more expensive than 9 per year of course
10:45:49 <Vorpal> but the support has been good the one time I needed it.
10:46:18 <int-e> Vorpal: I'm currently with Ramnode... no bad experiences there either though I haven't really needed support.
10:46:22 -!- sebbu2 has quit (Quit: reboot).
10:46:26 <Vorpal> And while not needing support at all would have been better, it is good to know that if you need it, they are happy to help within a couple of hours.
10:46:55 <Vorpal> int-e: yeah I had a strange issue with the kvm host, they quickly migrated my VPS to another node
10:47:48 <FireFly> I've been happy with prgmr, the biggest issue of which seems to be that their data centre is in the US and not Europe
10:48:24 <Vorpal> FireFly: which is the reason I went with linode. Way less lag when using ssh to london than to us
10:49:06 <FireFly> with mosh I don't really mind IRCing on a VPS in the US
10:49:27 <Vorpal> FireFly: I love prgmr's web site though
10:50:03 <Vorpal> I don't like mosh because I never been a fan of screen or tmux and mosh destroys the normal scrollback of the terminal
10:50:10 -!- hppavilion[1] has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds).
10:51:02 <Vorpal> Also while mosh helps on a bad connection, it isn't perfect sadly. Especially in ncurses programs
10:51:05 <int-e> (okay, one ticket, because I had a screen session completely disappear without trace and I asked them whether they had any logs... they replied promptly, though (unsurprisingly they didn't have any information). They did tell me that they didn't migrate the VPS which was more information than I expected.)
10:51:38 <int-e> (no segfault, no OOM kill... just strange)
10:51:42 <Vorpal> int-e: wouldn't they tell you in advance if they migrated?
10:52:01 <int-e> that's what they told me :P
10:52:04 <Vorpal> With linode I always got advance warning for any outage (critical host security upgrades and so on)
10:52:21 <int-e> "We don't do migrations without notice"
10:52:44 <Vorpal> int-e: I would say that any hosting company that did migrations without notice would be a bad one
10:54:27 <int-e> Basically I'm a bit clueless about how transparent that can be made these days. If one could migrate a VPS while preserving network connections with handover in less than, say, 10 seconds, that's something people might do without notice.
10:54:56 <fizzie> Since we're all listing these, I've gone through prgmr, Tilaa and DigitalOcean.
10:55:07 <int-e> If it disrupts network connections it's a no-go for any hoster worth its salt.
10:55:38 -!- tromp has joined.
10:56:07 <Vorpal> int-e: I don't think that is doable in general given how most VPS are set up. You would need to use network-backed disk images. iSCSI or something like that. Which from what I heard from someone who works in the business, is not worth the overhead. It is much cheaper to have local disk images on RAID with backups
10:56:39 <Vorpal> Then migration needs to shut down the VM, copy the images across and start the VM on the new host
10:56:47 <Vorpal> network is probably the easy part

11:02:39 <shachaf> I use Linode but I keep hearing it's terrible.
11:02:45 <shachaf> With regard to security and other things?
11:03:11 <shachaf> Maybe I should switch to Google Cloud now that their free trial expires in 12 months rather than 60 days.
11:04:00 <shachaf> I'd still need to figure out a way to use it that wouldn't be a squander.
11:04:01 <fizzie> Google Cloud here in Europe is only for "commercial" use.
11:04:15 <shachaf> I think we've talked about that.
11:04:19 <int-e> fizzie: an english speaking source picked up on the new fee... https://blog.matthewkilpatrick.uk/cloudatcost-review/ ... hmm.
11:05:07 <int-e> ("hmm" is me wondering whether there's any connection to #esoteric or whether somebody else actually read the ToS ;-) )
11:05:39 <shachaf> I pay $20/month for my Linode VM.
11:05:41 <fizzie> shachaf: One scow thing is that Google Domains in UK has the same restriction.
11:06:01 <shachaf> I recommend moving to sunny Mountain View, California.
11:07:17 <fizzie> I don't want to get shot, and I understand that's what happens to everyone in the US.
11:07:21 <shachaf> When I worked at Google I got a free (I think?) domain through Google Domains.
11:07:34 <shachaf> Now I don't work there anymore but I still use it for that one domain.
11:08:06 <fizzie> I migrated my two .org's to Hover, but they don't do .fi.
11:08:22 <shachaf> I use Gandi for .fi and another domain.

11:09:11 <shachaf> I'm not going to make a Hover account just to click on an arrow.
11:09:32 <shachaf> Well, I guess I can click the arrow even without an account, it just redirects me to a login page.
11:09:40 -!- sebbu has joined.
11:09:56 <fizzie> Thank you, I appreciate the effort.
11:10:12 <shachaf> What does it mean that .fi switched to a registrar model?
11:10:29 <shachaf> I remember that there were changes but not the details. Except that registration would be open to everyone or something like that.
11:10:41 <shachaf> But I already had a domain registered through Gandi before.
11:10:53 <fizzie> It used to be so that you bought your domain directly from the registry.
11:10:55 <shachaf> They sent me a letter about it all the way to the US. But the letter was in Finnish.
11:11:10 <fizzie> Which in this case was the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority.
11:12:07 <fizzie> The model they switched to is the more standard one where an end user never deals directly with the registry, but instead goes through a registrar.
11:12:32 <shachaf> But I already used a registrar once.
11:12:40 <shachaf> I guess it was an exceptional case or something?
11:13:00 <int-e> . o O ( There's an arrow?! )
11:13:05 <fizzie> I don't think they were technically registrars, they were just unrelated companies that bought and managed a domain for you.
11:13:18 <shachaf> int-e: Wherever voting happens, there's always an Arrow.
11:13:51 <int-e> shachaf: Right, I actually know about that theorem :)
11:14:05 <int-e> shachaf: it doesn't apply to pure binary choices though
11:14:14 <shachaf> I see. Well, nice of them to do it in exchange for $20 or however much I paid them.
11:14:29 <shachaf> int-e: I was wondering whether someone would nitpick my pun.
11:14:57 <shachaf> If you want: Voting on feature requests is a question of prioritizing the next request.
11:15:03 <int-e> but what I meant is this, http://int-e.eu/~bf3/tmp/novelicons.png
11:15:08 <shachaf> Each person can vote each feature up or down.
11:15:37 <int-e> (noscript is blocking the font. but why must it be a font...)
11:15:39 <fizzie> The old model also had some eligibility requirements that were deprecated, so it is also more open to everyone now.
11:16:10 <shachaf> It's a font with private use code points? How odd.
11:16:24 <shachaf> fizzie: Yes, that part is unfortunate.
11:16:24 <int-e> it has become fairly common
11:16:39 <shachaf> At least I got a two-character .fi domain.
11:17:01 <shachaf> Unfortunately it's difficult to pronounce.
11:17:17 <shachaf> It sounds like I'm talking about a county in England.
11:17:21 <fizzie> I was this close |-| to getting zzie.fi instead of zem.fi.
11:17:49 <FireFly> What's the etymology of zem.fi anyway?
11:20:13 <int-e> oh, github switched to inline SVGs instead, sweet.
11:20:18 <fizzie> "No one really knows what mattresses are meant to gain from their lives either. They are large, friendly, pocket-sprung creatures which live quiet private lives in the marshes of Squornshellous Zeta. Many of them get caught, slaughtered, dried out, shipped out and slept on. None of them seem to mind and all of them are called Zem."
11:21:44 <fizzie> I had a Douglas Adams hostname naming scheme at the time.

14:28:54 <Vorpal> Hm, I'm trying to like (or at least get accustomed to) git, but I can't help thinking that for the most part I prefer hg.
14:29:33 <int-e> For me it's the same, except with "git" and "hg" swapped.
14:30:48 <int-e> (Though I would have objective reasons in favor of hg. It's easier to *teach*, for example, because the separate staging area in git tends to confuse people.)
14:31:18 <Phantom_Hoover> the staging thing in git is just, like, you have to tell it which files you're going to commit, right?
14:31:41 <Vorpal> int-e: the main point I think for me is that for many VCS tasks I prefer a gui, and TortoiseHg for Linux is exceptionally excellent. The Git GUIs for Linux I have tried so far aren't nearly as good. Or have much less functionality. Or are fully featured but uses 500 MB RAM because of java.
14:31:51 <Phantom_Hoover> it's definitely one of those things which just causes friction when you're getting started, because you have no feel for why you'd want it
14:32:10 <int-e> Phantom_Hoover: the thing that confuses people is that there are two uncommitted diffs, so to speak: git diff --cached (changes to be committed) and git diff (further changes).
14:32:54 <int-e> in particular git diff may produce unexpected output ("I had changes, where did they go?")
14:33:13 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover: indeed, git UI is the main sticking point, or GUI in my case. If there was a good GUI to hide the UI I would be fine with it,
14:33:36 <int-e> but then I like the in-repo branches and mercurial just doesn't work nicely that way...
14:34:01 <Vorpal> int-e: it does have named branches, a bit more heavyweight than how git treats that concept
14:34:35 <Vorpal> in git, isn't a branch basically just a movable label?
14:35:09 <Vorpal> while in hg it is an attribute of a commit that is by default (unless you create a new branch) inherited to child commits.
14:36:29 <Vorpal> int-e: there is a bookmark extension that works more like git branches I think
14:36:38 <int-e> The most fundamental UI mistake in hg I've uncovered so far is the revision identified by "tip", which should have a name like "the-revision-that-somehow-currently-is-at-the-top-of-the-stored-file-history-unrelated-to-whatever-you-have-checked-out-and-are-working-on" or something to that effect.
14:37:07 <Vorpal> yes agreed, that tip doesn't mean much
14:37:18 <int-e> I had initially mapped "tip" to git's "HEAD", and that caused *a lot* of issues.
14:37:43 <Vorpal> int-e: for me, using tortoisehg for most of the stuff I do with hg, it is just a label in the GUI I don't really care about. I think you can hide it even.
14:37:44 <int-e> (git's HEAD is "revision currently checked out")
14:38:02 <int-e> well I'm addicted to command lines *shrugs*
14:38:20 <Vorpal> I usually am too. Not for version control for some reason though
14:38:46 <Phantom_Hoover> i mean version histories are a pretty textbook example of "something better presented graphically"
14:39:31 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover: which is why I have a hard time getting to like git I think. None of the GUIs are great. They all have one fatal flaw or another so far.
14:39:32 <int-e> I use a gui for browsing history. But not for creating commits...
14:41:02 <Phantom_Hoover> it's the classic thing where command lines work great for input but are lousy at output
14:41:05 <Vorpal> int-e: you get something like a staging area if you want in tortoisehg even, a list of files with checkboxes (or even diff chunks with the right hg extension loaded) that are to be included in the commit. It remembers what you checked too (until you close that repository).
14:41:33 <Phantom_Hoover> and guis can display information really effectively but can be clumsy and bloated when you try to manipulate it
14:41:44 <Vorpal> int-e: by default everything is checked, but I saw a setting somewhere for setting an expression for "auto uncheck". Presumably you could set that to "*" if you want or such
14:44:05 <int-e> there's a "hg record" extension (stolen from darcs) which, like git commit --interactive, is based on darcs' "record" command... so doing partial commits is quite possible in all these tools
14:44:21 <int-e> hmm, redundancy, how I love thee, how I love thee.
14:45:47 <Vorpal> int-e: yeah enabling the record extension lets you select specific file chunks in tortoisehg if you want
14:46:36 <Vorpal> int-e: also I love the MQ extension, patch queues. It is very well integrated into tortoisehg, letting you split and fold patches very easily. Reorder your commits prior to pushing.
14:47:09 <int-e> I use branches and git rebase -i for that in git
14:47:46 <Vorpal> yeah that would likely work too, as long as you remember what you want to push and what you don't want to push.
14:48:23 <int-e> both are powerful enough and they are very similar, but just different enough to trip anybody who tries to use on of them like the other. Switching between them is really painful.
14:49:42 <Vorpal> I use hg at work, so there is going to be that for the forseeable future. I just wonder to which version control system I should migrate my old bzr projects
14:49:55 <int-e> (and they have clashing vocabulary... like "pull" vs. "fetch" or "pull -u")
14:55:01 <Vorpal> int-e: git doesn't check out sub-repos by default it appears
14:55:06 <Vorpal> that annoys me compared to hg
14:57:32 -!- s1feha has joined.
15:10:41 <Vorpal> in fact it seems by default git doesn't treat sub modules as they exist when doing operations on the main repository, letting you do stupid stuff by mistake.

15:26:18 <Taneb> I've been working on a Euclidean Geometry renderer
15:26:34 <Taneb> But I think it has a few flaws
15:26:46 <Taneb> It can't work out where two circles intersect
15:27:32 <oerjan> you need algebraic numbers
15:27:53 <Taneb> I think I can make do with constructible numbers
15:28:12 <Taneb> But I don't know how to implement either in C :(
15:28:22 <oerjan> which is just the subset reachable with square roots.
15:28:23 <Vorpal> Taneb: can't you just approximate it with floats?
15:28:32 -!- augur has joined.
15:28:45 <int-e> Taneb: so use a different programming language ;)
15:29:26 <Taneb> Vorpal, currently I am approximating it with longs
15:29:27 <int-e> (smiley because I rather suspect that this isn't the real problem... though C is bound to make this stuff quite verbose)
15:29:40 <Taneb> int-e, ah, but you see, my long term goal is to enter the IOCCC
15:29:59 <int-e> Taneb: well, at least prototype in a different programming language
15:30:28 <int-e> in order to avoid bridging too many levels of abstraction at once
15:32:40 <oerjan> if the circles have radii r, R and distance D, then you get some pythagoras r^2 = h^2 + x^2; R^2 = h^2 + X^2, x+X = D
15:33:11 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
15:34:11 <oerjan> with the intersections being h away on the normal between them at distance x and X from either.
15:34:44 <oerjan> or if the centres are at (-x,0), (X,0), the intersections are at (0, +-h)
15:35:39 <oerjan> no solutions if r+R < D.
15:36:23 <oerjan> or r+D < R or R+D < r, i guess.
15:37:50 <oerjan> r^2 - R^2 = x^2 - X^2 = D*(x - X)
15:39:03 <oerjan> = D*(D - 2*X), so X = D - (r^2 - R^2)/D
15:39:23 <oerjan> er *X = (D - (r^2 - R^2)/D)/2
15:39:48 <oerjan> hm not a square root in sight, can that be right
15:40:01 <oerjan> (you'll get one in h, of course)
15:41:25 <oerjan> x = (D + (r^2 - R^2)/D)/2

15:47:14 <oerjan> bah never mind, you should already have x and r.
