<1> no
<0> ~
<1> no!
<1> NO MEANS NO!
<0> M
<1> bah. I'll just stick with "+"
<2> hmmm
<2> the girls i hang out with, no means maybe
<0> oh, wow, amazing, they found a dead person. definately news worthy.
<2> "i said no" means no though
<2> integral: you don't see that every day
<0> and "I told him 'no' your honour" means...
<3> japhy: $
<4> :=
<5> Does anyone have a preferred OS X multiprotocol IM client?
<3> not sure, never used osx for a prolonged period of time
<0> adium seems good enough for most people
<0> fwiw
<5> I am just trying it. Fire was a little flak-o-tronic.
<5> flake, too.
<0> oh, duh, it was washing up liquid I forgot
<0> *sigh* ]
<3> heh
<5> College students do not need detergents.
<5> CS majors, particularly.
<3> Yaakov: they do when the school don't provide them
<0> what's weird is that I've never met a compsci at my college :-/
<5> No, that's the point. No one will notice.
<5> What is your major, integral=?
<0> maths!
<3> integral: cool, i need some calc4 hw done
<0> calc4? huh? there's more than one calculus??
<5> integral: GEEK
<0> REAL GEEKS SHRIVEL IN THE SUN
<6> integral: you should know that there are several calculi
<6> and you're just a small part of one of them!
<6> ;-)
<0> actually I'm just surprised to see calculus mentioned in a maths course ;-)
<7> Don't be fooled. She make seem like your average selfish, backstabbing slut-faced hoebag, but she's so much more.
<6> simcop2387: What exactly do they teach in calc4?
<5> Adium seems nice.
<6> There was no such course offered at my university (or I just never bothered to take it)
<8> Maybe it's pde or something
<0> oh, I lie, I did do Vector Calculus, but that really was a calculus only course, and applied
<0> heh, someone's offering "Fourier Transforms, their generalisations, and the Imaging of the Brain" -- I guess someone really doesn't want to end up actually teaching...
<9> =)
<5> integral: We do that stuff in EE. The undergrads always complain the emag is the worst. But we do image manipulation stuff at a research level.
<0> "Stochastic Calculus and Applications", and "Topics in Analysis and Calculus of Variations" (for grads) are the only other too calcs
<9> someone should write a very advanced course title for "surfing the intarweb all day"
<0> Botje: I think they call it "Computational Methods for Biologists" :-P
<9> makes sense, I guess
<5> I don't understand it, but what I gather is that the emag stuff is third order calc.
<5> I know that Maxwell is second order... but there must be more.
<0> Maxwell? You mean James Clerk and his electrodynamics?
<5> I _wish_ I understood it. It is great stuff.
<5> integral: Yeah, that Scots.
<5> integral: You really should.
<5> integral: It is fundamental reality stuff.
<5> integral: If _I_ could, I would learn it. DON'T BLOW IT.
<10> Yaakov, you fail.
<0> meh, we have physicists for that
<5> No, it is EE.
<5> integral: And anyway, it is NEEDED.
<10> I do ee :P
<0> maxwell was a physicist!
<5> integral: LEARN IT.
<10> and yaakov, eww... research level ...
<5> Daveman: We are a research institution.
<5> integral: Electrical Engineering is 90% theory.
<11> GumbyBRAIN, do you understand vector calculus?
<12> ParityBit: Hm.. Then you have seen him, sir," -- here the speaker, put a veto on the differential calculus.
<5> integral: EE's are cross-over mathemeticians/physicists/engineers.
<0> *shudder*
<5> integral: LEARN MAXWELL YOU NORB
<5> integral: DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE
<7> NORB!
<5> Hello, Elly.
<0> ah, div D = rho, div B = 0, curl E = - partial B by d t, and curl H = J + partial D by d t
<11> sine, cosine, cosine, sine, 3.14159!
<11> hmm.
<6> 3.14159265358979323846 even
<11> That wouldn't rhyme.
<0> hmm, well I guess the first two of those at least make sense
<11> And it was a mnemonic for something.
<6> A good, solid, engineering number it is though.
<11> Something that was sin*cos + cos*sin
<11> But it's been too long. I remember the mnemonic but not what it's for.
<6> ParityBit: SCCS == Source Code Control System ;-)
<0> *shudder*
<0> it ceases to be one when people start *copying* the revision control files
<11> PerlJam, may-be... but almost certainly not.
<0> I mean lots of copies of the same source files, all with different hacks, and no indications of which ones are actually in production :-(
<6> ParityBit: sin(a+b) == sin(a)*cos(b) + cos(a)*sin(b) IIRC
<9> integral: the third one is what makes generators tick! :)
<6> And I guess, once you know that, you can figure out what cos(a+b) is and then from there tan(a+b)
<11> PerlJam, that's it. Almost it. IIRC, sin(a+b) was sc - cs and sin(a-b) was sc + cs, or some sign reversal like that.
<0> oh, wow!
<6> And then sin(a-b), cos(a-b) and tan(a-b) shouldn't be too hard.
<0> that is rather obvious isn't it
<11> I suppose it's still in my calculus book, which is still on my shelves.
<0> PJ's formula's right
<6> ParityBit: um ... sin(a-b) == sin(a)*cos(b) - cos(a)*sin(b)
<0> cos(a+b) = sin(a)sin(b) - cos(a)cos(b)
<11> Ahhh.
<0> err, I think
<9> ParityBit: now figure out cos(a/2) ! :p
<0> bleh.
<9> grrr
<11> Hrm.
<9> s/paritybit/perljam/
<6> integral: I think you have your sin and cos reverse for cos(a+b)
<9> pesky autocomplete.
<13> there -is- a #math
<0> that shows how often I use that now *sigh*
<6> Kinks: But this is #perl! And we have a long traadition of talking about random subjects.
<11> But I only care about math as it applies to computer languages. ;)
<0> I mean, who needs easy little identities like that when you can start choosing branches of log and using Cauchy's Theorems to prove integral results!
<11> Well, and ray-tracing simulations of water movement. Which is almost the same thing.
<0> oooh, that's a tough area
<0> they can do splashes now though
<14> hey guys
<5> SHUT UP
<14> I've got a variable that contains the contents that I want to put into an E-mail body. It has some really long lines. What's the best way to break it up at the appropriate spaces (or falling back to something else if there are too many characters without spaces) so that it fits within 72 characters or so?
<11> It is tough, and I'm a rank amateur. I'm trying to just get good ripple interference patterns while other people are doing amazing things.
<6> casey: Text::Wrap
<0> brilliant excuse to play with big computers though :)
<9> casey: Text::Wrap.
<6> casey: Text::Autoformat
<9> *shakes fist at PerlJam*
<9> STOP STEALING MY BRAINWAVES
<14> PerlJam, Botje: cheers.
<11> Hee. It's why I -need- an SMP system, really.
<0> Text::AutoFormat
<5> We have a 100+ node Condor cluster.
<6> casey: $string =~ s/(?=.{1,72}\s)/\n/gs;
<6> who's going to copy that one?
<5> I manage a 32 node Beowulf.
<9> I THINK YOU WANT vim +gggqG
<5> integral: Orion Multisystems, 96 processor DESKSIDE machines that plug into a normal outlet.
<9> Yaakov: wow. your electricity company must love you
<5> Botje: google for condor
<5> (computing)
<11> must commute now, later.
<5> Which one!?
<6> casey: $string =~ s/(.{1,72})\s/$1\n/gs; # for completeness
<0> .later ,now commute must
