00:27:35 <phenny> Can't find anything in Wikipedia for "Countdown#rules".
00:27:41 <nsh> what are the rules again?
00:28:01 <EarleMartin> Use each number no more than once?
00:28:13 <EarleMartin> But you don't have to use all of the numbers.
00:28:20 <bjoern_> right

00:29:17 <bjoern_> fight!
00:29:23 <EarleMartin> that wasn't what I expected
00:29:26 <nsh> For a numbers round, a set of numbers are laid out face-down on a board; the top row always consists of the four "large numbers" 25, 50, 75 and 100, while the other rows are filled with two copies of the numbers 1 to 10. Six numbers are chosen (the ability to choose one or more "from the top" gives the same sort of partial control as the vowel/consonant split in the letters game). The contestants attempt to combine these numbers to reach the three-digit target r

00:32:15 <bjoern_> I wonder whether pow() counts as multiplication...

00:37:24 <EarleMartin> no answer though :)
00:38:01 <bjoern_> you dare posting RSS .91 on #swhack ??
00:38:23 <EarleMartin> heh
00:38:25 <bjoern_> you should upgrade to RSS 1.1 ASAP!
00:39:11 <thelsdj> i prefer rss 3.4

00:41:47 <EarleMartin> throw me the spec, I throw you the whip!!
00:41:48 <thelsdj> yea but supposedly you can just go in through the backdoor that says 'stay out'
00:42:10 <EarleMartin> dammit, who keeps leaving that open

00:42:43 <bjoern_> [ Warning: Winer inside ] would be a better sign, no?

03:27:20 <thelsdj> i think i figured out why java programmers suck so much, its not really the languages fault, its the teachers fault, seems like every course and book teaches java programming in the worst possible ways and teaches tons of bad habits
03:28:25 <clsn> I've taught Java.... Like what?
03:28:57 <bjoern_> I programmed in Java and I can say for sure it's the language's fault.
03:30:34 <thelsdj> maybe its both, a circular path to hell
03:30:41 <jsled> Eh. Java's not a great language, but it's not horrible. Verbose, certainly.
03:31:02 <thelsdj> maybe its just this one instructor i'm watching these video lectures of
03:31:03 <jsled> But I think it's that there's a lot of java jobs, leading to lots of programmers, leading to a wider variation.
03:31:45 <bjoern_> .g java schools spolsky
03:31:48 <phenny> bjoern_: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/ThePerilsofJavaSchools.html
03:32:04 <thelsdj> he uses the most confusing ways of writing simple things to a beginning class and doesn't bother to explain why, and makes it seem like thats the way you do it, if peoples code actually looks like his after the class he's done a very bad job
03:33:44 <thelsdj> this is the second or 3rd class of people who've never seen java and he does stuff like:
03:34:23 <thelsdj> return (V[i0].compareTo (v[k]) > 0) ? i0 : k;
03:34:29 <thelsdj> thats not really the worst just the first one i found
03:34:35 <clsn> Java has its good points. But you can't get started in it without "OK, you write this stuff, don't worry about what it means."
03:34:49 <clsn> Ugh. Ternary op? Most classes don't even get to that.
03:35:03 <clsn> (it's reserved for working out on your own and coding with to look really cool)
03:35:07 <thelsdj> and as he's expliaining what the ? : construct means he's saying how stupid it is, yet teaching it?
03:35:45 <jsled> 'i0'? 'k'?
03:35:54 <thelsdj> he wants the students to use javadoc, but says they should not use any of the advanced features just make sure to use /** not /* !!
03:36:26 <thelsdj> yea this code is soooo bad
03:37:09 <clsn> You never *need* ?: and you can code quite well without ever learning it.
03:37:22 <clsn> It sounds like this instructor is a d00fus.
03:37:56 <thelsdj> yea, he rips on open source too
03:38:12 <thelsdj> just because they don't comment every function and tell people to read the source
03:38:24 <clsn> Of course he would. If you wrote code like that, would you want people to see it?
03:45:03 <thelsdj> wow i can't parse this paragraph he has up on the slides
03:46:04 <thelsdj> 'in java, all simple containers are named, all structured containers are anonymous, and pointers point only to structured containers (Therefore, structured containers contain only simple containers)
03:46:13 <thelsdj> which seems to be wrong on quite a few counts
03:46:41 <clsn> It might be wrong, if I could be bothered to make sense of it.
03:47:20 *** uche has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
03:47:28 <thelsdj> yea i don't really care, my main point is this whole slide is basically useless
03:47:48 <thelsdj> doesn't actually give any useful information, there might be some hidden in there but he's not presenting it usefully
03:48:07 <bjoern_> I'd now impatiently wait for the slide with Enterprise Structured Container Beans and Enterprise Simple Container Beans.
03:48:23 <thelsdj> heh

03:51:13 * thelsdj checks mit ocw to see if they have any new interesting video lectures available
03:53:03 <thelsdj> ooh nice, video lectures for introduction to algorithms
03:54:30 <kpreid> thelsdj: his 'simple containers' are variables
03:55:00 <kpreid> it's a viewpoint which makes more sense if you start with C, where you can take the address of a variable...
03:55:15 <kpreid> Perl also works somewhat in that model
03:57:02 <kpreid> which isn't to say that it isn't a lousy teaching method; I just (think I) understand what the author was thinking
03:57:27 <bjoern_> Perl has an SV type with slots for numbers, strings, ...

04:00:25 <thelsdj> ha
04:00:29 <thelsdj> ff3!
04:02:11 <bjoern_> the sprites certainly look like that, but from "We're making serious progress here on our Untitled Dreamcast RPG ..." on http://ravenousgames.boob.co.uk/ I doubt it's ff3
04:02:28 <bjoern_> also, I cannot recognize there this would be, and I played it through weeks ago...
04:02:28 <thelsdj> yea, i think they are borrowing sprites
04:02:46 <bjoern_> looks like they exploit the full power of the console...

18:03:37 <clsn> Maybe that would work.
18:03:38 <thelsdj> would have been real quick service too
18:04:04 <bancus> I'm writing a disclaimer into a form, that goes "To the best of our knowledge and belief, the above-listed part(s) ..."
18:04:13 <bancus> How do I conjugate a verb in this case?
18:04:27 <bancus> as "is/are"?
18:04:34 <bancus> Or do I just run with the singular?
18:04:59 <clsn> I guess you could use is/are, or pick one or the other and stay with it. Plural sounds good too, actuallu.
18:05:07 <thelsdj> hrm, i would go with are
18:05:13 <bancus> k
18:05:18 <thelsdj> because usually i read part(s) in the plural
18:05:27 <clsn> Or you could write in dialect, and say "be". :)
18:05:34 <thelsdj> ha
18:05:41 <aeonite> The issue I have with the post office is that it doesn't need to be that slow.
18:05:53 <aeonite> It took 45 minutes to put stamps on 60 packages, all of identical weight.
18:05:59 <aeonite> That should have been a ten minute process.
18:06:02 <clsn> They don't need to be, but they're going with their strongest skills.
18:06:44 <bancus> in full "To the best of our knowledge and belief, the above-listed part(s) are not from military or government sources and have not been subjected to severe stress or heat (as in major engine failure, accident, incident or fire).
18:07:13 <clsn> Sounds good. Add "so there" at the end.

18:16:34 <sbp> I always go with the latter reading

18:17:48 <bancus> "the latter reading"?
18:20:13 <sbp> conjugate it to agree with the last noun
18:21:03 <bancus> ah
18:21:37 <bancus> in your example, I'd go with the former, but I agree with thelsdj that I'd read it as parts, ignoring the parenthesis
18:21:58 <bancus> .swhack without inquiry

18:22:22 <phenny> bancus: No results for "without inquiry".

18:22:47 *** barnesj (n=barnesj@c-67-171-207-70.hsd1.or.comcast.net) has joined #swhack
18:23:00 <bancus> it basically amounted to "We don't think anything's wrong with this part, but then again, we haven't asked."
18:23:15 <bancus> "To the best of our knowledge, and without inquiry..."
18:27:52 <sbp> hmm
18:28:05 <sbp> I just worked out that with the Mithril Haypenny you could buy a dozen ponies
18:28:25 <sbp> ...here's my working:
18:28:55 <sbp> the Mithril/Niobium Haypenny weighs 2.7 grams according to https://secure.gcmcomputers.com/shirepost/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=31_36_44_2&products_id=154&osCsid=a3f825e88b159fb3a98cad2d5877d42f
18:29:19 <JibberJim> could you swap them progressively larger until you got to something you could swap for ponies?
18:29:21 <sbp> they worked out that a pony costs about $48: "So, at an exchange rate of twelve US dollars per Shire silver penny, an appropriate price for Bill the Pony might have been $48." - http://www.shirepost.com/CoinQuotes.html
18:29:34 <sbp> JibberJim: heh, heh. no because they didn't have blogs
18:30:13 <sbp> according to Wikipedia, "Its worth was ten times that of gold, and now it is beyond price" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythril
18:30:24 <sbp> I'm going for the ten times price since infinity is a bit hard to calculate with
18:30:55 <sbp> also according to Wikipedia, "On 5 May 2006 the London gold fixing was $682.00/oz" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold using the stats on http://www.lbma.org.uk/statistics_current.htm
18:31:01 *** vIkSiT has quit ("Leaving")
18:31:08 <sbp> so, Mithril would be worth $6820.00/oz
18:31:15 * DrBacchus wonders what "hone in" means in folks' minds when they say it.
18:31:20 <sbp> .calc 2.7 grams in troy ounces
18:31:23 <phenny> 2.7 grams = 0.0868070157 troy ounces
18:31:30 <Jabberwock> that's a lot of cocaine
18:31:33 <sbp> .calc 6820.00 * 0.0868070157
18:31:35 <phenny> 6 820.00 * 0.0868070157 = 592.023847
18:31:42 <sbp> .calc 592.023847 / 48
18:31:44 <phenny> 592.023847 / 48 = 12.3338301
18:31:57 <sbp> so just over a dozen ponies of Bill the Pony's calibre
18:32:26 <sbp> DrBacchus: to hone is to tune or whittle down to or target in on, as I understand it
