10:59:28 <sbp> this is pretty low on the making-sense meter:
10:59:30 <sbp> http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/quantize/#quantize_not_exact
10:59:42 <sbp> specifically this bit: “One way is to quantize the image as normal, but then and output the generated color map (using "-unique-colors". Now you can adjust that color map so your white is really white. You can now Map the new color map to your image.”
10:59:54 <sbp> the main problem, really, is how to adjust the colour map with ImageMagick
11:05:16 <sbp> hmm, http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/color/#replace
11:07:44 <sbp> $ mogrify -fuzz 10% -fill white -opaque white input
11:07:47 <sbp> seems to work
11:08:28 <sbp> ah, no, it unindexes it. heh
11:11:12 <sbp> ah, if you run mogrify after that, it works

15:43:48 <jessica> Björn: Read this, was amused and wanted to share: "In East Germany, the totalitarianism was so total that everything that wasn't compulsory was forbidden."
15:44:49 <jessica> Moreover, "The demonstrations that wracked East Germany for months before the opening of the Wall all had one thing in common: they started after work. How the Communists managed to make a poor country out of a nation full of Germans was beyond me."
15:45:20 <jessica> "I attended one of these, and the students were demanding economics courses. It's hard to reconcile that with my own memory of student demonstrations. We were demanding free drugs for life."
15:45:24 <jessica> (done)
15:45:37 <jessica> (credit to P.J. O'Rourke's travelogues.)
15:45:37 <[bjoern]> hehe
15:46:21 <jessica> I'm still amazed at making a poor country out of Germans. Everything that isn't mandatory among my Schweigerfamilie, Danaubschwaben, *is* verboten.
15:49:21 <[bjoern]> Well the plan of all four powers was pretty much to loot all they can, and then turn germany into a farming nation. Surely there are good tutorials for doing so in medieval books.

16:15:08 <nsh> jesus, that's a retarded-looking smiley, mibbit...
16:15:35 <nsh> anyway, on the plus side, the dude's i got the homebrew-looking mp3 player from said they'd replace it
16:15:47 <nsh> which is nice, because the device does look pretty fucking cool
16:15:54 <nsh> maybe even worth learning firmware hacking...
16:21:15 <[bjoern]> nsh, you have not brought nudes with you.

16:32:06 <[bjoern]> So they finally are closing down Milan.
16:33:23 <_ulises> nsh: I tried the latest img yesterday, it's looking good

17:17:34 <nsh> the devices looks just like the pictures (ipod clone but four buttons rather than wheel and no brand, on-off latch at top)
17:18:06 <nsh> may have been able to get the right firmware flashed if i could figure out how to open the case and check the chipsets
17:18:16 <nsh> but it looked to be a close-once design case
17:19:49 <nsh> advertised features are accurate except the touchscreen aspect (as far as i could tell). did have FM/voice rec/video playback/telbook/picture display/16gb storage (or at least it formatted as such, didn't get a chance to check capacity before it died)
17:20:54 <nsh> software looked very unpolished and processing speed wasn't too snappy, but was still very impressed with what they'd managed to pack into the form factor
17:26:15 <Tene> Apparently we're going to be teaching some classes for the FBI.

17:33:27 <Tene> hm?
17:33:28 <nsh> (e.g. do you record your lectures or make notes/slides available?)
17:34:51 <Tene> No, we don't. It's for work, and they try to keep pretty tight control over the courseware.
17:36:25 <nsh> right, makes sense
17:36:38 <nsh> (from their perspective, i imagine ;-)
17:36:52 * nsh wonders if you can turn emoticons off in mibbit
17:38:07 <Tene> I have a Parrot lecture I gave online.
17:38:47 <nsh> the perl vm?
17:38:56 <nsh> i'd like to watch that
17:39:20 <Tene> It was "Building a language with the parrot compiler tools".
17:39:25 <Tene> We walked through implementing scheme.
17:39:52 <Tene> http://opensourcetv.tv/video/15.html has flash, xvid, and theora
17:40:07 <nsh> thanks
17:40:14 <nsh> was it fun?
17:40:42 <Tene> It was a lot of fun. I wrote the lecture the night before, so it wasn't very rehearsed. :)
17:40:53 <nsh> sometimes works better that way
17:40:55 <deltab> nsh: try clicking on one
17:41:02 <deltab> an emoticon
17:41:17 <Tene> clsn went to a similar presentation I gave at Penguicon.
17:41:18 <nsh> ah, you can individually revert them
17:41:37 <Tene> Does this become an image: ☺ ?
17:41:53 <nsh> just unicode
17:42:00 <Tene> Feh.
17:42:04 <nsh> Penguicon sounds like an interesting convention

17:42:17 <nsh> ah, they don't do the facebook balls->heart conversion either
17:42:26 <nsh> taa, deltab
17:42:57 <Tene> A couple of things changed in Parrot since that presentation, like the weird $( something ) syntax changing to the more-sensible: something.ast
17:43:24 <clsn> Is ϖ more GREEK LETTER TITS or GREEK LETTER BALLS, you think?
17:43:40 <[bjoern]> Yes.
17:43:42 <nsh> buttocks through a letterbox imho
17:43:45 <jessica> What does Unicode say?
17:43:56 <[bjoern]> .u ϖ
17:43:57 <phenny> U+03D6 GREEK PI SYMBOL (ϖ)
17:44:00 <nsh> Tene, did you see the perl6 operator periodic table? i liked that
17:44:05 <Tene> nsh: yes
17:44:08 <[bjoern]> PIS is pretty suggestige.
17:44:12 <nsh> cool
17:44:28 <Tene> nsh: I wrote a blog post recently about defining custom ops in Perl 6... http://blogs.gurulabs.com/stephen/2009/05/new-toys-in-perl-6-custom-ops.html

17:49:18 <nsh> Tene, in that custom operator example, does $x equal 118 AND 122, or does it just return true for either?
17:49:28 <nsh> ( http://blogs.gurulabs.com/stephen/2009/05/new-toys-in-perl-6-custom-ops.html )
17:49:37 <Tene> nsh: it returns a junction.
17:49:52 <nsh> oh, this is probably something i should know about
17:50:11 <[bjoern]> .wik junction programming
17:50:13 <phenny> "Perl 6 is a planned major revision to the Perl programming language." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_6
17:50:32 * nsh reads http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Perl_6_Programming/Junctions
17:50:55 <Tene> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_6#Junctions
17:50:57 <bancus> It's an array, basically, specifically tuned to being able to ask if it contains a particular element.
17:51:02 <bancus> Or if it completely matches another array.
17:51:18 <nsh> interesting
17:51:19 <bancus> Some of the uses are interesting, though.
17:51:27 <nsh> i can imagine
17:51:44 <bancus> In particular, that they can be used in declaring parameter types.
17:52:04 <nsh> can you elaborate?
17:52:08 <bancus> So "any of these:" or "something that is all of these:"
17:52:14 <bancus> that WP link has a few examples
17:52:17 <nsh> ah
17:52:17 <nsh> ok
17:52:20 <bancus> sub get_tint ( RGB_Color|CMYK_Color $color, num $opacity) { ... }
17:52:20 <bancus> sub store_record (Record&Storable $rec) { ... }
17:52:40 <nsh> cunning
17:52:51 <bancus> The first example to me just screams "Use a fucking superclass." however.
17:53:22 <nsh> ah, another concept i'm naive to
17:53:25 <bancus> Or multisub.
17:53:40 <nsh> .wik Superclass
17:53:40 <phenny> "The global ruling class created by globalization (also known as the 'transnational capitalist class')." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superclass
17:53:50 <nsh> .wik Superclass (computer science)
17:53:51 <phenny> "In computer science, a superclass is a class from which other classes are derived." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superclass_(computer_science)
17:53:54 <nsh> .wik Multisub
17:53:54 <bancus> Superclass, as in a class "Color" that is subclassed into RGB_Color and CMYK_Color
17:53:55 <phenny> "Human leukocyte Interferon-alpha (HuIFN-alpha-Le) Multiferon|TM| is a natural interferon-alpha (IFN-ɑ) which is obtained from the leukocyte fraction of human blood following induction with Sendai virus." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiferon
17:54:03 <nsh> bancus: i see
17:54:03 <Monty2> _ulises: hmm, you see the leukocyte Interferon-alpha (HuIFN-alpha-Le) Multiferon|TM| is pretty suggestige.
17:54:04 <bancus> .wik multisub perl
17:54:05 <phenny> Can't find anything in Wikipedia for "multisub perl".
17:54:28 <Tene> if any(@large_list) > 5 { ... } # checked in parallel
17:54:40 <bancus> Multisub is one subroutine name that has different implementations depending on the types/number of parameters it accepts.
17:55:05 * nsh n ods
17:55:10 <bancus> There are other names for it, I know.
17:55:17 <Tene> multi sub foo(String $a) { ... }; multi sub foo(Int $a) { ... };
17:55:21 <bancus> But Tene's infecting me with his Perl6 terminology.
17:55:28 <nsh> :-)
17:55:56 <bancus> Tene: I also added another multisub to terbri with a (_,I) signature for getting an index.
17:56:10 <bancus> So there's (_) for getting, (_,_) for setting, and (_,I)
17:56:23 <nsh> what does the underscore represent?
17:56:27 <bancus> Unsure if (_,_) and (_,I) clash, but I'd hope it's smart enough to figure that out.
17:56:30 <bancus> Wildcard.
17:56:38 <nsh> ah
17:57:05 <Tene> nsh: he's specifically talking about PIR multi methods... Parrot's assembly.
17:57:09 <Tene> Perl 6 doesn't use that.
17:57:20 <nsh> ok
17:57:42 <nsh> more on this later, i hope. skype calls
17:59:01 <Tene> Sure.
18:00:13 <[bjoern]> (_,_) - pressed against a solid flat transparent surface?
18:00:33 <bancus> With a little nugget hanging out.
18:00:35 <[bjoern]> well not necessarily transparent, but you'd hope so.

18:31:23 <sbp> [bjoern]: did you see my freaky ImageMagick thing this morning?
18:31:38 <sbp> basic task: reduce colours in a PNG, and change from RGB to Indexed
18:31:42 *** Arnia (n=jgeldart@0-16-cb-bd-57-e.it.wlan.dur.ac.uk) has joined #swhack
18:31:42 <Monty2> Thank goodness, Arnia is back!
18:31:52 <sbp> now, if you do -colors 80, it tends to turn white into off-white
18:32:07 <sbp> so what you have to do is do a replace colour thing, with a fuzzy match
18:32:16 <[bjoern]> I did not see your freaky anything.
18:32:17 <sbp> and then run -colors 80 again (and -depth 8)
18:32:21 <sbp> and then it works
18:32:34 <sbp> so, like this:
18:32:34 <sbp>  mogrify -colors 80 -depth 8 $PNG
18:32:34 <sbp>  mogrify -fuzz 10% -fill white -opaque white $PNG
18:32:34 <sbp>  mogrify -colors 80 -depth 8 $PNG
18:32:58 <sbp> which is funny because the ImageMagick documentation itself says this is not possible
18:33:05 <[bjoern]> Is that when you actually have more than 256 colors?
18:33:19 <[bjoern]> Because otherwise one of the png compressors should do this automatically and properly.
18:33:28 <sbp> yeah
18:33:28 <[bjoern]> Forgot which one though
18:33:31 <sbp> well, actually more than 80
