| 03:46.28 | Neffi | no Semlar Stahl |
| 03:46.34 | Neffi | stahp also |
| 03:46.55 | Neffi | how hard is the question ? |
| 03:47.25 | Semlar | well i suppose that depends on how clever you are |
| 03:47.47 | Neffi | it can get super hard. I think maybe its responsive to your choices |
| 03:48.32 | Neffi | some math guru/prodigy I know had really damned hard problems |
| 03:48.57 | Semlar | it wants me to balance a scale given x, and an infinite set of weights that are powers of 3 |
| 03:49.23 | Semlar | and my solution was brute forcing it |
| 03:49.39 | Neffi | brute force infinite? |
| 03:50.13 | Semlar | well realistically it had bounds because i only picked the next higher power of 3 to put on the right side of the scale |
| 03:51.10 | Neffi | is x not infinite? |
| 03:51.20 | Semlar | x is limited to a million or something |
| 03:51.42 | Semlar | there are limits to processing time though |
| 03:51.51 | Semlar | so i guess it can't be that bad |
| 03:52.34 | Semlar | but given something like x = 25, it has to do something like 25 + 3 = 27 + 1 |

| 04:22.18 | CMDRTaco | what is the correct way to sort a table by a number when the key is a string like name? I keep getting an attempt to index by local (a string value). |
| 04:24.47 | Neffi | CMDRTaco: Associative arrays have no concept of order, so sorting is meaningless |
| 04:25.16 | Neffi | Sorting only has meaning on sequences, that is, tables which contain some keys from 1 to n as integers |
| 04:25.58 | Neffi | If you need to sort some things, you can copy the keys into a temporary table as an array from 1..n, sort that, then use that to determine the order in which to index the value from the original table |
| 04:26.44 | Stanzilla | ¯\_(ã)_/¯ |
| 04:27.14 | CMDRTaco | so something like for i=1, table.getn(list) do table.insert(output, list[i]) end then table.sort(list, output)? |
| 04:27.21 | Neffi | don't use getn() |
| 04:28.42 | Neffi | % originalTbl = { apples = 1, pears = 2, oranges = 3, }; local temp = {}; for k in pairs(originalTbl) do table.insert(temp, k) end; table.sort(temp); for i, v in pairs(temp) do print(originalTbl[v]) end |

| 15:26.45 | CMDRTaco | That's why I converted it. |
| 15:26.47 | nevcairiel | so I'm not sure what you are expecting the end result to be |
| 15:27.11 | Semlar | associates with nevcairiel |

| 15:29.24 | Semlar | it seems like you think an associative array can have an order |
| 15:29.47 | nevcairiel | fwiw, your example data is a normal list |
| 15:29.47 | Semlar | but to be ordered, the keys would have to be numerically indexed |
| 15:30.01 | nevcairiel | ie the "list" table appears to be a normal array |
| 15:30.02 | CMDRTaco | I'm taking the data out of it and sorting it and then trying to put it back in after it has been sorted. |
| 15:30.10 | Semlar | yeah, that doesn't make any sense |
| 15:30.24 | Semlar | it's only sorted because the keys are sequential numbers |
| 15:34.48 | Semlar | you can create a second, ordered table with the keys of your associative array if you want to iterate over it in that order |
| 15:34.49 | CMDRTaco | I'm trying to figure out how to sort the data by the ResFLSnoteTotal column. I found this article on how to sort it, but I need to remove the newly created index. I was able to alphasort the data in a function then insert the data back into the table in the sorted format. |
| 15:35.17 | CMDRTaco | http://www.troubleshooters.com/codecorn/lua/luatables.htm |
| 15:36.18 | CMDRTaco | I did create a second table and I am able to sort it. I'm now trying to figure out how to get the data back into a third table without the index key. |
| 15:36.37 | Semlar | listen, an associative array is by definition unsorted |
| 15:37.04 | Semlar | if you have keys like "apples" and "oranges" how are you supposed to iterate over that in order |
| 15:37.31 | nevcairiel | clearly by tastyness |
| 15:37.36 | mckenziemc | lexicographically sorts Semlar |
| 15:37.59 | Semlar | there is only order when you have a table like {[1] = "apples", [2] = "oranges"} because the index IS the order |
| 15:40.10 | CMDRTaco | Then why does my function that sorts by class stay in the order I insert the data back into the table without an index? |
| 15:40.36 | Semlar | in what you pasted here you have a table that's numerically indexed |
| 15:41.07 | Semlar | it's not an associative array |
| 15:41.11 | CMDRTaco | because I converted it to a new table with an index to sort on a numerical column. |
| 15:41.14 | mckenziemc | CMDRTaco: lua can rearrange however it wants the items you put in a table, regardless of the order you put them in. the only way to have a sense of order is using numerical keys and reading those keys in ascending order (ipairs, or manually). You either need to keep your values in a table with numerical keys representing the order, or if you don't want to have the elements and the sorting as one combined unit, you can use |
| 15:41.45 | mckenziemc | it stays "in order" because you can and do use ipairs |
| 15:42.30 | mckenziemc | there's no equivalent for other types of keys (or other meanings associated with numerical keys) |
| 15:43.48 | mckenziemc | i should've put stays in the quotes too, the table still isn't kept in order in memory necessarily, ipairs just iterates them in order |

| 15:54.33 | Neffi | Lua hqe no arrays. Sequence are a convenience. |
| 15:54.52 | Neffi | If you need a well defined data structure besides a dict, build it |
| 15:54.58 | Semlar | i thought it would only read sequential numbers from 1 |

| 15:55.04 | Neffi | nope |
| 15:55.15 | nevcairiel | it can skip single nil wholes if initialized carefully |
| 15:55.20 | nevcairiel | holes* |
| 15:55.23 | nevcairiel | but not always |
| 15:55.28 | Neffi | see the manual. it specifically says the length is undefined in certain circumstances |
| 15:56.02 | mckenziemc | i thought it always returned the last contigous though o.o |
| 15:56.05 | Semlar | i would rather it not guess at what might be holes in the sequence |
| 15:56.11 | Neffi | length is just any n such that t[n] is not nil and t[n+1] is nil |
| 15:56.32 | mckenziemc | oh, that sounds familiar |
| 15:56.36 | Neffi | a well formed sequence only has one such n. don't add holes. |
| 15:57.13 | mckenziemc | maybe i've just forgotten and assumed a more convenient definition |
| 15:57.24 | nevcairiel | its also a bit tricky sometimes |
| 15:57.30 | Neffi | well, hopefully you remember now ;) |
| 15:57.44 | nevcairiel | % t={1,2,nil,4); print(t); t[5]=5; print(t) |
| 15:57.44 | yalb | nevcairiel: sandbox:1: '}' expected near ')' |
| 15:57.56 | nevcairiel | % t={1,2,nil,4}; print(#t); t[5]=5; print(#t) |
| 15:57.56 | yalb | nevcairiel: 4; 5 |
| 15:57.59 | nevcairiel | oh well |
| 15:58.07 | nevcairiel | sometimes adding members will m ake it re -count |
| 15:58.40 | Neffi | adding elements may trigger a rehash, which will rebalance numerical keys into the array part |
| 15:59.18 | Neffi | they would be added to the array part to begin with if its already preallocated at least that large |
| 15:59.50 | Neffi | you can't really predict the behavior of length if you don't use well formed sequences |
| 16:00.29 | mckenziemc | so the real answer isn't quite "don't poke holes in your table" but "don't use # on anything that might have holes" |
| 16:00.35 | Neffi | yes. |
| 16:01.09 | Neffi | you can overload # and build a true array type if you really need, which is what I tell people who come in #lua hitching about the lack of them |
| 16:01.28 | Neffi | its about 20 lines of code to have proper, predictable arrays |
| 16:01.41 | mckenziemc | i *think* i knew that back when i coded lua; hopefully i didn't code anything that wrongly used # o.o |
| 16:01.51 | Neffi | heh |
| 16:02.02 | mckenziemc | coded in* |
| 16:02.34 | Neffi | OK, I go wake up now |
| 16:02.41 | mckenziemc | :O |
| 16:02.51 | Neffi | taking off work is so great. I slept for, like, so much hours |
| 16:04.32 | mckenziemc | i = 1; while Neffi[i] ~= nil do i = i + 1 |
| 16:05.05 | Neffi | its worth noting that some of the described behavior is that of PUC-Rio Lua in particular and that the definition of the language doesn't mandate it. Other implementations, like WoW's Lua or LuaJIT may diverge. Best code against the manual, that's the official language definition |
| 16:05.25 | mckenziemc | afe |
| 16:05.29 | mckenziemc | aye* |
| 16:05.37 | mckenziemc | specifications :) |
| 16:06.19 | Neffi | Not sure where LuaJIT is going since Mike Pall stepped away from it, but Cloudflare uses it a whole lot and I think is picking it up, so I think we can expect continued development and less.conservative development also |
| 16:06.42 | mckenziemc | i read through most of the reference manual once, it's just easy to forget details |

| 22:16.59 | mckenziemc | i had vibration issues with my prusa on vertical pieces but i think that was from extruding too much filament |
| 22:17.00 | fewyn | so it was yanking hard on it causing my extruder to bounce |
| 22:17.28 | mckenziemc | oh, forgot you have a built in spool holder :< |
| 22:18.19 | Neffi | i have no idea what you guys are saying |
| 22:19.14 | mckenziemc | that's your problem |
| 22:19.16 | mckenziemc | buy a 3d printer |
| 22:19.24 | Neffi | gief me moneys |
| 22:19.32 | mckenziemc | then you can have fun troubleshooting it... |
| 22:20.01 | Neffi | is this gonna be another one of those devices for which drivers are awful and buggy and nonexistent on anything but windows? |
| 22:20.55 | fewyn | a 3d printer isn't that expensive |
| 22:21.03 | fewyn | nah Neffi |
| 22:21.06 | fewyn | it works great on linux |
| 22:21.13 | fewyn | i've actually got mine controlled by a pi |
| 22:21.15 | fewyn | atm |
| 22:21.19 | mckenziemc | it's not the drivers >.> |
| 22:21.27 | fewyn | it's hardware 99% of the time =p |
| 22:21.29 | fewyn | or the firmware |
| 22:21.32 | fewyn | the other 1% |
| 22:21.38 | mckenziemc | well, it could be, but a different kind of driver :o |
| 22:21.43 | fewyn | true |
| 22:21.51 | fewyn | stepper drivers can go out |
| 22:22.19 | Neffi | fewyn: But I don't use Linux :( |
| 22:22.26 | mckenziemc | or have too low or too high current set |
| 22:23.01 | fewyn | they work on macs to Neffi |
| 22:23.03 | fewyn | or windows |
| 22:23.10 | Neffi | but I don't use Mac or Windows :( |
| 22:23.10 | fewyn | they are pretty universal |
| 22:23.14 | fewyn | freebsd? |
| 22:23.18 | Neffi | nods |
| 22:23.31 | fewyn | probably works fine there too tbqh |
| 22:23.40 | fewyn | i haven't really looked tho |
| 22:23.49 | fewyn | most of the heavy lifting is done by the ardunio |
| 22:23.50 | Neffi | It probably will by the time I'd consider purchasing one |
| 22:23.55 | Neffi | I don't even own a 2D printer yet! |
| 22:24.15 | mckenziemc | embosses Neffi. |
| 22:24.25 | Neffi | At this rate I expect 4D printers to come out by the time I'm using 3D ones |
| 22:24.42 | Neffi | and I'll be able to use the 4D printer to go back in time and give my past self access to this newfangled tech ahead of the curve |
| 22:24.59 | mckenziemc | after every one else has already done so |
| 22:24.59 | fewyn | right now i'm printing an upgrade for my 3d printer |
| 22:25.04 | Semlar | sorry neffi, it can only manipulate time up to the point where it started printing |
| 22:25.10 | Neffi | :( |
| 22:25.19 | Neffi | there's always a catch |
| 22:25.23 | Neffi | well, I guess that's how they get you |
| 22:25.34 | Neffi | fewyn: that sounds illegal |
| 22:25.40 | fewyn | nope! |
| 22:25.44 | Neffi | ;) |
| 22:25.54 | fewyn | i'm printing new mounts for the leadscrews i'm installing |
| 22:26.00 | Semlar | you wouldn't download a car |
| 22:26.03 | fewyn | which replace the current threaded rods |
| 22:26.06 | fewyn | i totes would Semlar |
| 22:26.08 | fewyn | TOTES WOULD |
| 22:26.11 | Semlar | oh |
| 22:26.14 | Neffi | now print an internal combustion engine |
| 22:26.22 | fewyn | i bet i could print a car |
| 22:26.25 | fewyn | an rc car probably |
| 22:26.35 | fewyn | gears and all |
| 22:26.44 | Mr_Rabies | download a car download a car do it do it download a car |
| 22:27.04 | Neffi | fewyn: How are you going to make a functioning motor out of extruded plastic? |
| 22:27.15 | Semlar | that's what she said |
| 22:27.20 | fewyn | http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:40257 |
| 22:27.23 | Neffi | no I'm a guy, but thanks |
| 22:27.46 | fewyn | i can print gears and stuff neffi! i might still have to buy like a motor for it tho |
| 22:27.51 | Neffi | yeah, but it doesn't work, right... right? |
| 22:27.54 | mckenziemc | gravity fed with water? |
| 22:28.14 | fewyn | i'm sorry to tell you Neffi =p it does work |
| 22:28.14 | fewyn | http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34778 |
| 22:28.43 | fewyn | http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16987 |
| 22:29.07 | Neffi | a transmission is just gears tho |
| 22:29.08 | fewyn | http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10526 |
| 22:29.11 | fewyn | I NEED TO DO THIS |
| 22:29.16 | Neffi | yes! |
| 22:29.41 | mckenziemc | no |
| 22:29.52 | fewyn | yesssss |

| 22:31.06 | teenwolf | hello |
| 22:31.27 | fewyn | it's snowing outside |
| 22:31.38 | fewyn | can i just hibernate for the rest of winter |
| 22:31.51 | teenwolf | it isn't snowing in stockholm |
| 22:33.04 | mckenziemc | blasphemy |
| 22:33.16 | teenwolf | can you put an EditBox inside a Layer? I have a multi-line EditBox that I want to display under a label (FontString) but the EditBox isn't showing up for some reason |
| 22:33.24 | teenwolf | the FontString shows up fine |
| 22:34.03 | Neffi | you can anchor it to the fontstring |
| 22:34.08 | nevcairiel | only Region-derived types can be used as parents |
| 22:34.14 | Neffi | but layers, that is, fontstrings and textures, cannot have children |
| 22:34.18 | nevcairiel | although fontstring probably qualifies |
| 22:34.35 | nevcairiel | or maybe it needs to actually be Frame-derived |
| 22:35.14 | teenwolf | no I mean, it's a sibling of the FontString - a child of a Layer |
| 22:35.33 | teenwolf | they're both children of the same Layer |
| 22:35.40 | teenwolf | and it is anchored ti the fontstring |
| 22:37.03 | teenwolf | http://pastebin.com/VfTRmtR4 |
| 22:37.54 | nevcairiel | oh yeah that wont work, you need to put it into a Frames element inside XML |
| 22:39.21 | teenwolf | the EditBox, you mean? |
| 22:39.41 | nevcairiel | yes |
| 22:39.51 | nevcairiel | Layer can only have Texture or FontString in XML |
| 22:40.21 | teenwolf | ah, I see |
| 22:41.02 | nevcairiel | so no, you cant do that, you can still anchor them appropriately though to get the same behavior |
| 22:41.20 | teenwolf | boom! works now when I took it out and dropped it into a Frames element instead |
| 22:41.24 | teenwolf | thanks for your help! |
| 22:42.13 | nevcairiel | if oyu are asking about XML in the UI, you should generally state that directly, many of us don't often use the XML and tend to think about Lua API usage to manage frames |
| 22:42.33 | nevcairiel | helps to avoid confusion =) |
| 22:43.06 | Semlar | XML is a trigger word |
| 22:43.28 | nevcairiel | it triggers rabbies in Semlar |
| 22:43.45 | Semlar | i'm pretty sure my neighbor's house is on fire |
| 22:43.55 | nevcairiel | they have a phone number for such things |
| 22:43.59 | Semlar | i'm drowning in smoke |
| 22:44.29 | Semlar | and this is florida so they'd have to be an idiot to light their fireplace |
| 22:45.33 | teenwolf | what's wrong with XML? |
| 22:45.44 | Primer | What's the most common cause of game slowdown over time in WoW? If I spend an hour in Ashran, my game starts to get slow and I usually have to restart it. |
| 22:46.11 | Primer | No addon is consuming more RAM than usual. I suspect perhaps something is leaking frames with event handlers. |
| 22:46.15 | nevcairiel | teenwolf: for programmers its often easier to use programmatic API to create frames than try to think in abstract XML .. its just a preference of many |
| 22:46.15 | Semlar | an addon could be doing something that progressively slows down the game |
| 22:46.36 | Primer | teenwolf: I second what nevcairiel wrote |
| 22:46.45 | Semlar | it's not very likely that an addon would be using enough ram to matter |
| 22:46.45 | Primer | I'm sure everyone else here will too |
| 22:47.12 | nevcairiel | Primer: havent heard of such problems for a long long time |
| 22:47.31 | Primer | Semlar: I know there are addons that try to track CPU usage of addons, but from what I understand they're somewhat indeterminate |
| 22:47.46 | Semlar | could be your computer |
| 22:47.54 | Primer | uhhh |
| 22:48.09 | Primer | Why would that only manifest itself over time if it were my computer? |
| 22:48.13 | Semlar | something outside the game that is progressively slowing it down, heating up |
| 22:48.21 | Primer | naw |
| 22:48.35 | Primer | I can do a 20 man raid for hours and it's fine |
| 22:48.35 | nevcairiel | you dont play on Linux or something arcane like that, do you |
| 22:48.40 | Primer | Only at work |
| 22:48.49 | Primer | At home I'm on windows 10 |
| 22:48.50 | Semlar | on a different computer? |
| 22:49.10 | End | doesn't the event tracer show how much time was spent on each event? |
| 22:49.19 | End | or was it a seperate addon that did that |
| 22:49.30 | nevcairiel | there is gazillion of events going by in a busy area like ashran |
| 22:49.38 | nevcairiel | unless you automate stats tracking.. |
| 22:49.43 | End | I'm going off of knowledge that is years old but that might help figure it out |
| 22:49.44 | Neffi | linux is arcane? |
| 22:49.48 | Semlar | are you running recount? |
| 22:49.49 | Primer | Right now spending over 1 hour in Ashran makes the game start to slow down |
| 22:50.03 | Primer | No recount, but skada, yes |
| 22:50.24 | Primer | I normally clear it before starting though |
| 22:50.31 | Semlar | anything else that would be storing information from the combat log? |
| 22:50.34 | nevcairiel | Neffi: of course, wine could have a memleak or whatnot that triggers from something specific in ashran or who knows what |
| 22:50.48 | Semlar | do you have combat logging enabled in wow? |
| 22:51.06 | Primer | I have loggerhead, which enables it in specific raids |
| 22:51.48 | Semlar | you're not running any debug addons for tracking addon usage? |
| 22:51.59 | Semlar | they do add overhead to everything |
| 22:52.00 | Primer | Not currently |
| 22:52.00 | nevcairiel | you could install one of those cpu performance tracking addons, they eat away quite a bit of performance itself, but maybe it lets you track something |
| 22:52.18 | Semlar | well it could be skada |
| 22:52.25 | nevcairiel | they often are not entirely accurate, but at least get the ballpark right |
| 22:52.46 | Neffi | Just be wary of addons getting blamed for stuff because of embeded library |
| 22:53.21 | nevcairiel | there used to be an addon that tracked time spent in functions manually by hooking literally everything |
| 22:53.29 | nevcairiel | but i think it died |
| 22:53.31 | Neffi | oh lord |
| 22:53.40 | nevcairiel | it was quite a handy debugging tool |
| 22:53.50 | Semlar | could be ashran itself, there are a ton of people in it sometimes |
| 22:53.58 | nevcairiel | because you could hook every library and just figure out which is eating the power |
| 22:54.59 | nevcairiel | it was a relatively short name, but i forgot |
| 22:55.05 | nevcairiel | and its been years and years |
| 22:55.17 | Primer | It seems to be tied to events |
| 22:56.46 | nevcairiel | could be skada filling up its tables eventually causing it to slow down a bit, could try setting up some more aggressive auto-clear settings |
| 23:05.51 | Primer | I didn't realize there were such settings |
| 23:05.53 | Primer | I'll try that |
| 23:06.43 | nevcairiel | i have mine to never remember more than 10 fights to avoid the bloat |
| 23:06.48 | nevcairiel | +set |
| 23:20.40 | teenwolf | happy new year everyone |
| 23:32.09 | relaxok | i find it weird that its not lua stuff that fills in the GameTooltip with item stuff |
| 23:32.31 | relaxok | you just SetInventoryItem |
| 23:32.45 | nevcairiel | plenty stuff is done in C, especially tooltip related |
| 23:32.58 | nevcairiel | there is plenty item info it fills in thats not otherwise available in Lua, which is the sad part |
| 23:33.29 | relaxok | im trying to just do it with AddLine.. using the incrementing TextLeft[n] or TextRight |
| 23:33.34 | relaxok | (in C) |
| 23:33.48 | relaxok | but i think it also changes font size used and other stuff |
| 23:35.29 | nevcairiel | probably, item tooltips are the most advanced tooltips we get |
| 23:40.15 | relaxok | it also seems to have to recreate it every frame? |
| 23:40.23 | relaxok | seems like the OnUpdate clears it |
| 23:40.41 | relaxok | might be my bad though |
| 23:41.43 | relaxok | i'm also looking for where plate/mail/leather is |

| 23:57.52 | teenwolf | is there any way to set a maximum height on an EditBox? |
