| 00:01 | <@ToxicFrog> | And even if the information is available, it may not be reliable - for example, when I was on Sympatico ADSL, my IP claimed variously that I was in Toronto, Waterloo, and Ottawa. |
| 00:01 | <@ToxicFrog> | I'm in Guelph. |
| 00:04 | <@Vornicus> | Which is, iirc, kinda between those others. |

| 01:22 | < TakyojiClone> | What is the proper way to insert a CSS command in an HTML attribute? class()? |
| 01:24 | < TakyojiClone> | Because I can't get it to work with using style() either |
| 01:26 | < TakyojiClone> | I've done it before, but that was a long time ago |
| 01:27 | | ChalcyAFK is now known as Chalcedon |
| 01:34 | < TakyojiClone> | nobody knows? |
| 01:41 | | * Chalcedon eyeballs |
| 01:42 | <@Chalcedon> | I can never remember the names for things, but I'm pretty sure that the only time I've seen command() in HTML is in Javascript. |
| 01:44 | <@Chalcedon> | feel free to poke me when/if you come back and I'll try to help, but please remember that my HTML/CSS is /extremely/ rusty (and was never brilliant to start with) |
| 01:44 | < TakyojiClone> | ahh |
| 01:45 | < TakyojiClone> | because I remember seeing it like <font color= "black"onmousehover="style{color: black;}"> or something,but forgot how it goes |
| 01:46 | | * Chalcedon hmmm |
| 01:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | ... |
| 01:46 | | * Chalcedon hug TF |
| 01:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aren't you meant to do it the other way around? |
| 01:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | #blackthingy { color: black } |
| 01:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | <font id="blackthingy"> |
| 01:47 | < TakyojiClone> | oh |
| 01:47 | < TakyojiClone> | lemme think.. |
| 01:47 | <@Chalcedon> | that's what I'm familiar with |
| 01:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | I mean, as I understand it, that's sort of *how CSS works* |
| 01:47 | | * ToxicFrog huggles Chalcy, proffers stoatburger |
| 01:47 | | * Chalcedon nrom stoatburger |
| 01:47 | < TakyojiClone> | so like <font id="blah" onmousehover="#blah {color: blue;"> or somethin? |
| 01:48 | < TakyojiClone> | erm.. |
| 01:48 | <@Chalcedon> | the #blah needs to go in your css file, or in the css section at the start. |
| 01:48 | < TakyojiClone> | but I'm trying to have it just change things by hovering, clicking, and so on |
| 01:49 | < TakyojiClone> | or is javascript only used in that type of attribute? |
| 01:50 | <@Chalcedon> | no, css does it, though the term /might/ be hover (without the onmouse - or I might be confused). |
| 01:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | I think you're missing the point. |
| 01:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | In CSS, you define a bunch of attributes: normal, hover, clicked, etc. |
| 01:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | You associate these attributes with an ID. |
| 01:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | In HTML, you then give that ID to a tag, and it inherits the attributes in CSS. |
| 01:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | So, for example: |
| 01:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | #shiny { |
| 01:52 | <@Chalcedon> | thus saving you the hassle of typing it out every time. |
| 01:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | color: blue |
| 01:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | } |
| 01:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | #shiny a:hover { |
| 01:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | color: green |
| 01:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | } |
| 01:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | Thus, a tag with id="shiny" will be blue; an <a> tag with id="shiny" will be blue, and will turn green on mouseover. |
| 01:53 | <@ToxicFrog> | And Chalcy is correct; "hover" is CSS, "onmouseover" is Javascript. |
| 01:54 | <@Chalcedon> | and it works best if put in a separate file, that way if you have 10 pages and decide to change the colour of your background say, you only need to alter one thing, rather than 10. |
| 01:55 | < TakyojiClone> | What are all the tags that you can define in CSS? In example blah:a hover? So is it: a, td, ul, div, and so on? Not font, img, etc |
| 01:56 | < TakyojiClone> | or is it all of them? |
| 01:56 | <@ToxicFrog> | I would rather think all of them. |
| 01:56 | <@ToxicFrog> | If you really want an exhaustive list, the reference specifications should have something. |
| 01:57 | < TakyojiClone> | because font:a hover isn't working |
| 01:57 | < TakyojiClone> | but erm |
| 01:57 | < TakyojiClone> | a:hover |
| 01:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...say again? |
| 01:58 | < TakyojiClone> | "Because font:hover isn't working, but a:hover does" |
| 01:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aah. |
| 01:58 | < TakyojiClone> | It's apparently only working with a, ul, and tr. |
| 01:59 | < TakyojiClone> | and I do have it defined properly |
| 01:59 | < TakyojiClone> | ideas? |
| 02:00 | <@ToxicFrog> | It would appear that :hover is not valid for font tags and other font-like things. |
| 02:00 | <@ToxicFrog> | http://www.echoecho.com/cssintroduction.htm |
| 02:00 | < TakyojiClone> | ohh |
| 02:00 | <@ToxicFrog> | Perhaps this site will be of some use, containing as it does numerous tutorials and the complete reference documentation. |
| 02:01 | < TakyojiClone> | true |
| 02:01 | <@ToxicFrog> | Although its emphasis on getting things working with Netscape is slightly confusing. |
| 02:03 | | * Vornicus-Latens returns |
| 02:05 | < Vornicus-Latens> | I am beginning to see the point of middleware. |
| 02:09 | < Vornicus-Latens> | I mean, 1. you don't want to put business rules in your database because it defeats part of the point... but 2. you don't want to put business rules in your rendering code because FOAM! FOAM IN MY BRAIN! |
| 02:10 | < Vornicus-Latens> | so, middleware. What you put between your rendering code and your database |
| 02:19 | < Vornicus-Latens> | and, at that, where you put your business rules. |
| 02:21 | < TakyojiClone> | God my damn brother's an idoit |
| 02:22 | < TakyojiClone> | He wants solid cyan on true lime with full saturation |
| 02:22 | < TakyojiClone> | which looks like absolute crap |
| 02:22 | < Vornicus-Latens> | Did he think that middleware was what you wear between your boxers and your jeans? |
| 02:22 | < TakyojiClone> | And he thinks it looks nice and want me to make his damn website even more screwed up that way |
| 02:23 | < TakyojiClone> | And EVERYTHING has to be a damned solid color |
| 02:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | ... |
| 02:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | Is he color-blind by any chance? |
| 02:25 | < TakyojiClone> | Probably |
| 02:25 | < TakyojiClone> | Holdon |
| 02:27 | < TakyojiClone> | Because, for example, he wants these colors for the navigation bar: http://aquaeden.com/Untitled-1.jpg |
| 02:28 | < TakyojiClone> | No gradient, just solid |
| 02:29 | <@ToxicFrog> | Well, it's not eye-meltingly bad. |
| 02:29 | < TakyojiClone> | holdon |
| 02:29 | < TakyojiClone> | I'll show you the whole design |
| 02:29 | <@ToxicFrog> | However, it does scream "ten-year-old with FrontPage and MS Paint" |
| 02:29 | < TakyojiClone> | indeed |

| 02:37 | | Janus [~Cerulean@Nightstar-10302.columbus.res.rr.com] has quit [Quit: Jouets de Dieu, jouets de jouets, et les jouets de me, fait naître Clairvoire.] |
| 02:43 | < TakyojiClone> | See, this is what he wants: http://aquaeden.com/idea6.jpg |
| 02:43 | < Vornicus> | ...my ajax server can be the middleware. |
| 02:44 | < Vornicus> | ...that's actually not that awful. |
| 02:44 | < Vornicus> | The upper toolbar could use a lot of work, but the left side is halfway decent. |
| 02:44 | < TakyojiClone> | I'm hating it, not enjoying it |
| 02:45 | < TakyojiClone> | Because apparently he wants it that way and I DEEPLY disagree |
| 02:45 | < Vornicus> | Also the BIG PANTS TEXT in the middle is just too big. |
| 02:46 | < TakyojiClone> | That's not the actual text size we we're considering though |
| 02:54 | < TakyojiClone> | He considers this horrible website design in his terms(which is the opposite): https://www.web-a-file.com/Redirect.cgi?html=store.html "It has too many colors", "The picture's out of focus" (dumbass), "And it looks so plain of colors" |
| 02:54 | < TakyojiClone> | "And the letters on the picture make the picture look bad" |
| 02:55 | < TakyojiClone> | I just want to kill idoits like that |
| 03:04 | < TakyojiClone> | So look at it this way: This was the original idea we started with which I made: http://aquaeden.com/original-design.jpg And this is what it is going to turn into: http://aquaeden.com/idea6.jpg (Ignore the logo and picture aspect of it) |
| 03:05 | < Vornicus> | I'm not a huge fan of the orange, personally |
| 03:05 | < TakyojiClone> | ahh |
| 03:06 | < TakyojiClone> | Then my other idea was red |
| 03:06 | < TakyojiClone> | But still.. it's basically gone backwards |
| 03:13 | < TakyojiClone> | He doesn't understand the idea of staying at the same hue for everything, instead of the same absolute color of everything |
| 03:14 | < TakyojiClone> | Because he wont accept any brighter, darker, less-saturate, etc of the lime and blue |
| 03:14 | < TakyojiClone> | cyan* |
| 03:15 | < TakyojiClone> | Wouldn't you rather agree if you have a company with a color scheme to stick to a few hues instead of a very few precise colors |

| 15:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | wot |
| 15:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | As in, for example, functions local to functions? |
| 15:24 | < MyCatOwnz> | ToxicFrog: yep. |
| 15:25 | < MyCatOwnz> | It's one of the GNU extensions. |
| 15:25 | <@ToxicFrog> | Spicy. |
| 15:26 | < MyCatOwnz> | Interesting, yes. If you pass the address of that function out it continues to refer to the outlying function's local variables. |
| 15:26 | < MyCatOwnz> | If you make the inner-function pointer persist and you call the inner function after the outer function has returned, All Hell Breaks Loose(tm), since the inner function still refers to stuff on the outer function's stack. |
| 15:27 | <@ToxicFrog> | So it has local functions but not function closures. |
| 15:27 | < MyCatOwnz> | OTOH, if it doesn't refer to any local variables, I think the inner function can be called at any time. |

| 15:28 | < MyCatOwnz> | Lexically scoped, yes. Closed over, no. |
| 15:30 | < MyCatOwnz> | Sounds pretty damn useful for passing functions to things like the stdlib qsort and lsort functions, since those'll always complete before the outer function exits, without littering the global scope with one-liners. |

| 17:00 | < AnnoDomini> | Is there no way to make LU decomposition without it giving erroneous results as well as corrupting memory? |
| 17:03 | <@ToxicFrog> | ... |
| 17:04 | <@ToxicFrog> | If it's corrupting memory that's an implementation problem. |
| 17:04 | < AnnoDomini> | It gives either parity errors, or floating point errors. |
| 17:04 | < AnnoDomini> | Depending on OS. |
| 17:04 | < AnnoDomini> | But I could live with that. If it gave me the correct numbers. |
| 17:05 | < AnnoDomini> | But it doesn't. Both my own code, and code directly adapted from a MathCad sheet on LU decomp. both turn up the same problems. |
| 17:05 | < AnnoDomini> | Using lead element selection doesn't do jack. |
| 17:06 | <@ToxicFrog> | Parity errors shouldn't happen unless your memory is physically bad. |
| 17:06 | <@ToxicFrog> | SIGFPEs generally mean a division by zero. |
| 17:07 | < AnnoDomini> | But they happen even if I make the "if (a!=0)" clause. |
| 17:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | So drop into the debugger and see exactly what it was doing. |
| 17:09 | < AnnoDomini> | It errorises at the division by the pivotal element. Judging by the size of the output numbers, I would wager that the pivotal element is really small. |
| 17:10 | < AnnoDomini> | But it isn't == 0, dammit! |
| 17:12 | | * ToxicFrog shrugs. I haven't used native doubles in ages, I've been using Lua's mathlib. |
| 17:12 | <@ToxicFrog> | Might it be NaN? |
| 17:13 | < AnnoDomini> | Er... Maybe. When are numbers assigned NaN? |
| 17:13 | < AnnoDomini> | *variables |
| 17:19 | <@ToxicFrog> | NaN is the result of any mathematical operation with indeterminate or undefined result. |
| 17:19 | <@ToxicFrog> | Or possibly infinity. I'm not entirely sure, as I said, I'm way rusty on these things. |
| 17:20 | <@ToxicFrog> | But, say, 1/0 should yield one of { SIGFPE, infinity, NaN } |
| 17:20 | <@ToxicFrog> | If it's NaN, trying to further manipulate it might cause explodey. |

| 18:59 | | * jerith sighs. |
| 18:59 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...ummm. |
| 18:59 | <@ToxicFrog> | Isn't not having emacs open in X as simple as running "emacs" rather than "xemacs"? |
| 18:59 | <@jerith> | Apparently somewhere between Solaris' bash and screen I don't have colours turned on. |
| 18:59 | <@jerith> | TF: xemacs is a different flavour of emacs. |
| 19:00 | <@jerith> | I suspect emacs looks for $DISPLAY and launches an X version if it's there. |
| 19:00 | <@jerith> | Or something. |
| 19:01 | <@ToxicFrog> | Freaky. |
| 19:01 | <@ToxicFrog> | Wrt colors, check your $TERM |

| 19:05 | <@jerith> | I wonder if I can convince it to use whatever it was started with? |
| 19:05 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hmm. Mine sets it to "screen". |
| 19:05 | <@ToxicFrog> | (and colors work fine) |
| 19:05 | < Vornotron> | ...console titles? |
| 19:05 | <@ToxicFrog> | $TERM |
| 19:06 | <@jerith> | bash-3.00$ emacs bin/mkmovie.sh |
| 19:06 | <@jerith> | emacs: Terminal type screen is not defined. |
| 19:06 | <@jerith> | Solaris. :-( |
| 19:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | It appears to be -T |
| 19:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | So, you can propagate the current TERM setting with screen -T $TERM |
| 19:07 | <@jerith> | Hmm... |
| 19:07 | <@jerith> | Of course, I'd rather not just set it to xterm. |
| 19:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | Also, colors work fine with TERM=vt100 on Linux. |
| 19:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | As they should. |
| 19:08 | <@jerith> | I think it's emacs not doing the colours. |
| 19:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | I don't have emacs installed, so I can't test that. |
| 19:09 | <@jerith> | It's not doing colours in a non-screen TERM=xterm either. :-( |
| 19:09 | <@ToxicFrog> | The man page for screen does suggest that if there's no termcap entry for "screen" on the system it falls back to "vt100" or whatever is defined in the config file. |
| 19:09 | <@ToxicFrog> | With -T overriding all of this. |
| 19:09 | | * jerith nods. |
| 19:10 | <@jerith> | It looks like emacs is colluding with Solaris in denying me my colours. |
| 19:10 | | * ToxicFrog tries to remember why he has TERM=rxvt-cygwin on Durandal |
| 19:10 | <@ToxicFrog> | And, for that matter, why Cygwin's /etc/termcap doesn't have an entry for rxvt-cygwin...but Fedora's does. |
| 19:15 | | * Vornotron works on a Task: authenticating Linux against Active Directory. |
| 19:15 | <@ToxicFrog> | And why libregex doesn't appear to be working under Cygwin anymore ;.; |
| 19:15 | <@jerith> | :-( |
| 19:16 | | * jerith sighs. |
| 19:16 | <@ToxicFrog> | Or so I infer from the fact that grep works, but egrep never generates any matches. |
| 19:16 | <@jerith> | I guess I'll be working without colours, then. |
| 19:23 | | * Vornotron vaguely wonders why he uses tabs for IRC but windows for Web. |
| 19:23 | <@ToxicFrog> | That is a very good question. |
| 19:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | The mere thought of using windows for web browsing gives me the jibblies. |
| 19:24 | <@jerith> | If I used windows for web again I'd go madder. |
| 19:24 | | * ToxicFrog determines that ~ on Durandal is 1GB because he still has a complete SGOS build tree lying around in it from the summer's work. Oops. |
| 19:25 | < Vornotron> | pff |
| 19:25 | | * Vornotron would like a disk space analysis tool. |
| 19:25 | <@ToxicFrog> | I tend to abuse du for that purpose. |
| 19:25 | < Vornotron> | cuz I need to clean off my computer. |
| 19:26 | <@jerith> | I find xdiskusage to be very helpful in that regard. |
| 19:28 | | * ToxicFrog wields rm, cuts ~ down to 70MB |
| 19:34 | | * ToxicFrog then backs it up and proceeds to do a clean reinstall of Cygwin. |
| 19:39 | | * Vornotron dumps du. |
| 19:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | ? |
| 19:41 | <@jerith> | Aha! http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/ |
| 20:02 | < Vornotron> | rather, makes a dump of du's output. |

| 21:02 | < Janus> | "May I please ask a mathy question please?" |
| 21:03 | < Vornotron> | DOn't ask to ask, just ask! |
| 21:03 | < Vornotron> | :P |
| 21:03 | < Janus> | ...was what I said to My Pre-Cal teacher, whom was quite flamboozelled at it. |
| 21:03 | < Janus> | Yes sir! |
| 21:03 | < Vornotron> | pre-calc, you mean? |
| 21:04 | < Janus> | Yes, that's the class. I couldn't think if it was a 'k' or a 'c' for some reason. |
| 21:04 | < Vornotron> | heh |
| 21:08 | < Janus> | I digress; a few days ago, when I asked about arch length and all that fiasco, y'all suggested "right = cos(length/r + acos(left))" But... for some reason, it seems "right = cos(lenght/r + asin(left))" looks more appropriate when it's graphed out with 'left' as a variable. |
| 21:09 | < Vornotron> | does it? |
| 21:09 | < Vornotron> | okay. |
| 21:10 | < MyCatOwnz> | Janus: what range of left are you plotting? |
| 21:10 | < Vornotron> | the domain of left should be -1..1 |
| 21:10 | < Janus> | All I know is that is looks like a half a circle, instead of a line. -1 to 1 now, after finding out how mad the computer gets when it drops out of that~ |
| 21:11 | < Vornotron> | hee |
| 21:11 | < MyCatOwnz> | Janus: thinking carefully, you'll want to use asin if you're plotting from 0 to +pi and acos if you're plotting from -pi/2 to pi/2 |
| 21:11 | < Janus> | ... really? I see now. |
| 21:13 | < MyCatOwnz> | You're trying to draw a curve that looks like an arch, right? Or have I misunderstood the requirement? |
| 21:13 | < Vornotron> | Note also that your problem statement guarantees that the curve should be strictly ascending. |
| 21:14 | < Vornotron> | MCO: what he's got is a circular arc that he knows the length of, and the x coordinate of the left end of the arc. |
| 21:15 | < MyCatOwnz> | Vornotron: I see. What's he after? |
| 21:15 | < Vornotron> | He's trying to find the x coordinate of the right end of the arc. |
| 21:15 | < MyCatOwnz> | Sounds Hellish. |
| 21:16 | < Vornotron> | the arc is of course assumed not to cross the x axis. |
| 21:16 | < Vornotron> | It's not that bad. |
| 21:16 | < Janus> | Thank you Mr. Vorn, the words wouldn't come to me. |

| 21:45 | <@ToxicFrog> | MCO: no, it's simple trig. |
| 21:50 | < MyCatOwnz> | ToxicFrog: trig is always Hellish when you're too lazy to do it. |

| 21:56 | < Janus> | It's even less pleasant when the code that uses it segfaults at seemingly random moments. |
| 21:58 | < Vornotron> | That's probably your fault. |
| 21:58 | < MyCatOwnz> | Segfaults in a mathematical program are the computer's way of saying that you're using too low-level a language for your own level of experience. |
| 21:58 | | You're now known as TheWatcher |
| 22:04 | <@ToxicFrog> | Indeed. |
| 22:09 | | * Janus is noticing some oddities in the surfaces it's putting out; lines of pure blue, green, or red, in diagonal or straight lines, with the rest being black. So it may be a bounds issue. |
