<0> i dunno, i just didnt think you could do that
<1> Ugh
<1> The tissues are slowly taking over my room :(
<2> You have to kill them before they develop language skills.
<1> I think it's too late for that. Think well of me, dear friends...
<0> lol?
<0> Zeros: still here?
<1> Haha, win: http://xkcd.com/c171.html
<3> xkcd frequently wins
<1> I've only just encountered it
<1> But that comic surmises my opinion on string theory in three short sentances :)
<4> By any chance, via http://xkcd.com/c149.html ?
<0> ptlis: hahaha
<1> XD
<1> No, someone in ##c++ linked to
<1> http://xkcd.com/c151.html
<0> ptlis: yeah, thats probably my favorite one
<1> Really, I thought it was mediocre
<1> Just flicked through some more because i'm feeling like death and I have nothing better tod o
<5> i looked through a lot of them, and thought most of them to be medicore at best
<6> http://xkcd.com/c178.html << heh
<5> trying to be witty, just missed the target
<1> http://xkcd.com/c184.html
<0> sharkhat: the 1-up one is good
<1> That is a cl***ic
<0> ptlis: i dont get it
<1> ...
<5> marginally funny to the math crowd
<0> ptlis: bad at math?
<1> Yep :P
<5> never took matrix?
<5> lol
<0> nope
<0> lol
<1> sharkhat, and any games developers two
<0> well, i've had to do matrix multiplication
<5> oh
<0> i'm just awful at trig
<0> Zeros: i fixed this spacing issue btw :)
<1> matrices two main uses are linear algebra and transforming coordinates stored in matrices.
<1> It's pretty neat, actually
<5> and image manipulation
<7> trig makes so much more sense once you get to calculus and start integrating
<7> matrix math was fun, we did that in highschool
<0> yeah, i just bought a calculator for that
<7> :p
<1> Ugh, my next semester at Uni is gonna hurt
<1> I'm doing 120 credits in 4 months
<7> matrix math is much more relevant to CS than calculus is ironically, though all CS programs require calc
<1> It's like a years work, and they're all hardcore modules.
<4> I never got on with calculus ... but then, we were never shown what it was for, and I never do well being taught like that
<7> once we started doing volumes and work problems it all made sense
<1> kirun, same here - integration stumped me for years until I was finally told it's purpose
<7> some things like arc length and average value are like no brainers with integration
<4> I think it's just the brain going "Well, that doesn't look important, time to think about monkeys"
<8> wow.. I was making a point to ignore all the OpenID hoopla but now that I'm actually reading the spec.. it's freakin awesome!
<0> sipher: yeah, its very clever
<0> kirun: "tl;dr" is not a valid answer to any math problem, apparently
<8> hax: Future versions will have comment signing too
<1> The art geek in me loves this: http://xkcd.com/c197.html
<0> sipher: i havent gotten into it yet, but i know its smart
<0> hah
<0> have any of you ever used X-JSON/
<8> hax: So if roguesite.com has a comment from someone claiming to be Bill Gates.. showing his OpenID server, there's a permalink that goes to his server to validate the comment
<0> sipher: neat
<7> I read this really interesting post on math and programmers the other day
<0> somehow
<2> OpenID is not a trust system, remember.
<7> hah
<8> I'm totaly abandoning all other forms of auth
<7> mattmcc, I never got the whole OpenID thing, how exactly does authentication work?
<8> mattmcc: Right.. but it wont be his URI
<7> How can it know I really am who I say I am when I give a domain name in the login?
<8> Zeros: http://openid.net/
<8> It explains it in a couple paragraphs
<9> i try two same script with perl and php i'm getting a text without html tags
<8> Zeros: http://openid.net/about.bml <-- that does rather
<9> but explorer show output of those scripts with different font sizes
<9> why? have you an idea?
<7> hax, http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/03/math-for-programmers.html long bug a good read
<7> http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:hUCjTxjcsfcJ:www.cabochon.com/~stevey/blog-rants/blog-math-every-day.html+blog-rants/blog-math-every-day.html&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1 that was too, could only find the page through the cache
<0> Zeros: i'd have to agree with the first line:
<0> ; I hardly know anyone who disagrees. Even programmers who were math majors tell me they don't really use math all that much! They say it's better to know about design patterns, object-oriented methodologies, software tools, interface design, stuff like that.
<0> that
<0> heh
<7> sipher, oh they finally redid the website
<7> that's much more clear
<7> the old site had like 5 pages of stuff and it was so general and very vague on how the process happens
<6> http://xkcd.com/c197.html << that's quite clever.
<8> Yeah. This one's really easy to understand
<8> and genius
<7> It is a cool idea
<7> of course since your domain is your username I already know your username, so that part of security is lost
<7> I can just enter it and start hammering away at p***words :p
<2> Samus_Aran: Y'know Kevin Smith and Patrick Stewart are providing voices for turtles in the upcoming TMNT movie.. :)
<7> Matteh, seriously? nice
<8> The FF devs have OpenID support as mandatory for FF 3
<8> Zeros: Nope.. because there's no p***words to enter.. only for your OpenID server.. which isn't going to allow brute force
<7> sipher, you have to enter a p***word on the openid server no?
<7> how else can the openid server keep anyone from just logging in
<8> right.. you do..
<8> but!
<7> right, so I know everyone's username
<8> nope
<8> Your OpenID server requires a username/p***
<7> a separate username?
<7> oh okay
<8> or however it chooses to auth you
<7> now this sounds much better
<0> Zeros: you dont happen to use acts_as_attachment do you? :P
<7> nope, what would that be?
<8> Zeros: and then you can tell it which sites you trust and what bits of personal info they can have. "They can have my name but nothing else." "These guys can have my name, email and phone number."
<7> hmm, I wonder how hard parsing addresses is going to be
<7> separate address (city/state/etc) fields are easier to handle on the server, longer for users
<0> Zeros: its this thing for rails that lets you save attachments like images that people upload
<7> so people can upload images?
<7> "I don't know of any public available sources which do that. Moreover, I know that the problem is harder than one might think. We did some work for a major shipping company to help them implement an address parser in Yacc++, with a goal of only 90% accuracy (i.e. one address in ten was not recognized). A basic skeleton for such a parser is included as one of the examples, but it only handles a couple of address forms and none o
<7> f the complicated cases and is only minimally better than no skeleton at all."
<7> heh
<7> well so much for parsing addresses
<2> Zeros: A recent python project I worked on made use of Yahoo's geocoder service. Works decently.
<2> Although we were only doing North American addresses. I don't know how international Yahoo's service is.
<6> mattmcc: I wasn't aware they were making another movie. didn't they already have three ?
<7> mattmcc, looks promising, I bet its only north american though. Its oddly mangling names too
<7> North Gate becomes N GATE in the response
<10> hrm.. is there any smart way of forcing span to be 2 pixels high on IE6?
<2> It capitalizes everything, yeah. That's the only bit that bugs me.
<11> Prometheus^: set the font-size to 2px, as well as the height?
<2> But I don't mind that it abbreviates 'North' as long as I get consistency.
<10> Windrose: I'll try that, thanks
<8> I like yahoo services because they all output JSON which makes parsing much faster for Python.
<12> Windrose: hello :)
<8> compared to SOAP or something
<11> GwaiLo: evenin' ... I think that was you ... *glares at IRSSI*
<12> Windrose: you got it right ... and... where's your x-chat ?
<11> GwaiLo: RIP with as much other Gnome crap I can find.
<12> Windrose: heh... sounds like you've gone postal :)
<11> GwaiLo: *shrugs* I need my ram.
<12> Windrose: ahh... guess using xchat statically linked somehow wouldn't help ?
<0> Zeros: yeah, so people can upload images... but i got issues with it
<7> arg :(
<11> GwaiLo: not really. It gobbles alot of ram for little purpose, and lack decent notification features.
<7> mattmcc, still pretty cool, thanks
<12> Windrose: I hope you get used to irssi soon then :)
<11> GwaiLo: oh, it's not about being used to it! It's the fact that this THEME is awful ...
<7> anyone know the name of that blog software written in rails?
<13> Windrose, do you still maintain that HTML version of Hixie's Considered Harmful?
<12> Windrose: ahhh... I just ***umed it was like emacs... hard to use and not very effective ... *grin* :)
<13> and if so may I please have the URL for it?
