| 00:06.31 | darth_mall | go ChipX86 go! |
| 00:08.45 | purple_cow | uggg |
| 00:09.24 | kergoth | yay gling glo |
| 00:09.35 | purple_cow | kergoth: good idea |
| 00:09.39 | kergoth | :) |
| 00:09.54 | purple_cow | hmm |
| 00:10.30 | darth_mall | oooooooh pounce |
| 00:12.52 | purple_cow | ooh! |
| 00:12.57 | purple_cow | it looks like this is going to simplify |
| 00:17.44 | purple_cow | aw fuck |
| 00:17.49 | purple_cow | but this method won't work |
| 00:20.48 | purple_cow | darth_mall: that doesn't really make sense :P |
| 00:21.05 | purple_cow | ugh |
| 00:21.08 | purple_cow | what a horribly written problem |
| 00:21.29 | darth_mall | I know it doesn't make sense |
| 00:21.36 | darth_mall | but I can't figure out what else she could possibly mean |
| 00:22.15 | purple_cow | darth_mall: just plugging in that gets you f(x), not f'(x) |
| 00:22.32 | darth_mall | I know |
| 00:22.37 | darth_mall | but what else are you going to do? |
| 00:23.40 | darth_mall | unless you use the interpolant to get f((x0 + x1)/2) and then using that point do something like forward or backward diff with x1 or x0 |
| 00:24.35 | purple_cow | darth_mall: i don't think we're supposed to do forward/backward/anything difference |
| 00:24.51 | darth_mall | but in that case I'd say do centered diff on x0 and x1 and that'd probably give you a better approximation of the derivative at (x0 + x1)/2 |
| 00:25.03 | darth_mall | purple_cow: I know, but how else do you propse to get a derivative |
| 00:25.33 | purple_cow | hmm |
| 00:25.36 | purple_cow | lemme ponder a bit more |
| 00:25.39 | darth_mall | no! |
| 00:25.41 | darth_mall | answer me now! |
| 00:27.47 | darth_mall | ~spell conceivable |
| 00:27.48 | jbot | 'conceivable' may be spelled correctly |
| 00:27.56 | darth_mall | man... for some reason these are all looking wrong to me today |
| 00:29.33 | darth_mall | ~spell hone |
| 00:29.34 | jbot | 'hone' may be spelled correctly |

| 00:35.28 | darth_mall | ~botsnack |
| 00:35.28 | jbot | aw, gee, darth_mall |
| 00:36.07 | purple_cow | hahahahahahaha |
| 00:36.22 | darth_mall | purple_cow: ? |
| 00:36.24 | purple_cow | it simplifies to the slope of a linear interpolation between the first two points |
| 00:40.19 | purple_cow | uh oh |
| 00:40.24 | purple_cow | i think darth_mall's offended by the x10 |
| 00:40.51 | darth_mall | not by the x10, just this particular use of it |
| 00:41.06 | darth_mall | I mean... lava lamps... |
| 00:41.20 | purple_cow | hehehe |
| 00:41.33 | darth_mall | should it be, "it is therefore..." or, "it is, therefore, ..." |
| 00:42.36 | darth_mall | because you would write, "therefore, it is..." |
| 00:42.51 | darth_mall | I think... |
| 00:43.05 | purple_cow | i'd do the 3rd one, but the 1st is better than the 2nd |
| 00:44.00 | darth_mall | gah... now I'm thinking about it so much they all sound terrible |
| 00:47.59 | darth_mall | purple_cow: why did you make wasabi make star trek noises |
| 00:49.21 | purple_cow | uhh, i didn't |
| 00:49.22 | purple_cow | silly freevo |
| 00:49.48 | purple_cow | it autoplayed the file on the disc :P |
| 00:49.59 | purple_cow | woohoo, 1st problem is done |
| 00:50.57 | darth_mall | bad freevo being all proactive |
| 01:07.52 | darth_mall | LIES! |
| 01:08.11 | darth_mall | ugh... I'm going to have to print out assloads of this paper tonight |
| 01:08.33 | darth_mall | there is absolutely no reason to give everyone in class a copy of this paper |
| 01:08.46 | ChipX86 | yay for meetings |
| 01:08.50 | darth_mall | yay for ChipX86 |
| 01:09.24 | ChipX86 | so, we're moving buildings in a couple of weeks |
| 01:09.55 | ChipX86 | it saddened me at first, but the building we're moving to has a fountain, a full sized cafeteria, a patio and balcony, and bigger offices |
| 01:10.26 | darth_mall | scanline: your mom called |
| 01:10.44 | darth_mall | apparently there's some kind of Pink Floyd recreation band or something playing at the Fillmore this sunday |
| 01:15.10 | file[laptop] | ChipX86: and a faster internet connection? |
| 01:15.45 | ChipX86 | nope |
| 01:17.06 | file[laptop] | bah |
| 01:20.42 | ChipX86 | I can't wait until this first review is done |
| 01:20.52 | ChipX86 | the whiteboard is packed full of notes and diagrams |
| 01:21.03 | *** join/#tacobeam laodamas (~laodamas@c-67-166-53-18.client.comcast.net) |
| 01:22.05 | darth_mall | what's an antonym for 'ideal'? |
| 01:22.38 | laodamas | farked |
| 01:23.35 | darth_mall | heh... "ideal criteria imposed on a farked environment do more harm then good" |
| 01:23.50 | darth_mall | I'll bet Daney would love that |
| 01:25.54 | darth_mall | that's like lurgy and his 'prant' |
| 01:25.56 | laodamas | webster suggests:actual |
| 01:29.26 | darth_mall | webster suggests wrong |
| 01:30.08 | kergoth | darth_mall: optimal perhaps? |
| 01:30.23 | kergoth | bleh, headache |
| 01:30.29 | darth_mall | that would be more of a synonym... |
| 01:30.45 | kergoth | oh, right, misread your question |
| 01:30.53 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 01:31.37 | kergoth | hehe |
| 01:31.45 | darth_mall | I kinda like the sound of that... anti-ideal... |
| 01:49.18 | ChipX86 | hrm, Regis is mumbling unhappy things in the background |
| 01:49.24 | ChipX86 | I'm just going to head home. |
| 01:50.15 | file[laptop] | I dread the day I do code reviews of employee work |
| 01:57.16 | ChipX86 | yay, I have like 5 bugs out of my remaining 9 that I can close as soon as somebody does these reviews |
| 02:06.14 | purple_cow | yay, that was a short-but-effective nap |
| 02:08.01 | lurgy | yay home |
| 02:10.40 | lurgy | heh |
| 02:10.40 | lurgy | uh oh |
| 02:10.49 | purple_cow | mwahaha |
| 02:11.04 | purple_cow | (don't worry, it's all good stuff) |
| 02:11.14 | purple_cow | well, good stuff plus the odd-numbered star trek movies |
| 02:14.20 | lurgy | ah, so the ol' CDs |
| 02:14.48 | purple_cow | yep |
| 02:15.07 | purple_cow | i realized that my little audio cd case had run out of room, but i had a big one full of stuff that was mostly duplicated in scanline's backups |
| 02:15.13 | purple_cow | ooh |
| 02:15.18 | purple_cow | owen's latest screenshot is SO PRETTY |
| 02:18.00 | lurgy | yay mostly |
| 02:18.46 | lurgy | :) |
| 02:20.47 | lurgy | hehe |
| 02:21.41 | lurgy | purple_cow: he hasn't made code for that available, has he? |
| 02:26.46 | lurgy | cuz he needs to |
| 02:26.57 | lurgy | despite his disclaimer that it doesn't handle edge cases well |
| 02:27.21 | nullpuppy | purple_cow: what screen shot is this that you're drooling over? |
| 02:28.23 | purple_cow | http://fishsoup.net/blog_images/Luminocity-2.jpg |
| 02:29.08 | purple_cow | lurgy: i'd ask him |
| 02:29.51 | purple_cow | hmm. sounds like arafat has finally kicked the bucket |
| 02:29.52 | nullpuppy | neato |
| 02:30.48 | purple_cow | err, i guess they've decided that it's going to be a somewhat slow but inevitable kicking-of-the-bucket over the next day or so |
| 02:31.51 | purple_cow | yay |
| 02:32.36 | scanline | I demand instant gratification! |
| 02:32.57 | lurgy | purple_cow: ? |
| 02:33.04 | scanline | ooh, a reply |

| 02:33.35 | lurgy | heh |
| 02:33.40 | scanline | neat |
| 02:34.03 | scanline | though nothing on the one-line fix to hdlcdrv yet |
| 02:34.15 | lurgy | oh |
| 02:34.20 | lurgy | -that- movie |
| 02:34.25 | purple_cow | hehehe |
| 02:34.42 | lurgy | that one that everybody wonders why it was made |
