| 03:00 | | Vornicus is now known as Vornicus-Latens |
| 04:20 | <@McMartin> | New build of I7 out. |
| 04:21 | <@McMartin> | "For any kind of value K, "list of K" is now also a kind of value." |
| 04:34 | | GeekSoldier|bed is now known as GeekSoldier|work |
| 05:15 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yay |
| 06:28 | <@Reiver> | Do regexes track whitespace? |
| 06:29 | <@McMartin> | Yes. |
| 06:30 | | Derakon is now known as Derakon[AFK] |
| 06:30 | <@Reiver> | What syntax thingy do I want to make it not care how much whitespace there is at a certain point? Would [ ]+ work? |
| 06:31 | <@McMartin> | No, that's just spaces |
| 06:31 | <@McMartin> | \S*, I believe, is the standard "all whitespace" |
| 06:32 | | * Reiver is fairly certain that in this case, the whitespace is exclusively spaces. |
| 06:32 | <@McMartin> | Just " *" should work in that case. |
| 06:33 | <@McMartin> | " +" demands there be at least one space left |
| 06:33 | <@McMartin> | And if there's a newline at the end it won't match |
| 06:37 | <@Reiver> | Including quotemarks, inside the regex? |
| 06:38 | <@McMartin> | No. |
| 06:38 | <@McMartin> | That's because it's not obvious that a string starts with a space without them. |
| 06:39 | <@Reiver> | right. |
| 07:50 | <@Reiver> | re.search('Effect ([0-9]+) Starting Offset ' + axis + ' * := ([.0-9]+)', line): |
| 07:50 | <@Reiver> | How am I to get the two trapped values out? |
| 07:51 | <@Reiver> | And was that the correct fill-in-the-spaces syntax just after the axis was inserted? |
| 07:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | Well, you can replace " * " with " +" |
| 07:59 | <@ToxicFrog> | As they both mean "one or more ' '" |
| 07:59 | <@ToxicFrog> | (" * " being "zero or more ' ', followed by another ' ') |
| 07:59 | <@ToxicFrog> | As for how you get the captured values out - don't know, consult the Python docs |
| 08:00 | <@McMartin> | The match object has various methods you call to get them. |
| 08:00 | <@McMartin> | I think it's .group(n), or .groups() |
| 08:19 | <@Reiver> | Hm. Where can I put the trapped values? |
| 08:20 | | * Reiver doesn't plan to run the regex in the same line he wants to use the values. |

| 08:59 | <@McMartin> | match() will return an object that you can store in a variable, which is a first-class value that you can pass around, store in arrays, etc. |
| 08:59 | <@McMartin> | You call groups() on that. |
| 09:04 | | * Reiver ponders. |
| 09:05 | <@Reiver> | I was initially using the regex for an if statement. |

| 09:07 | <@McMartin> | So, don't do that. |
| 09:08 | <@McMartin> | Assign the result to a value and see if it's None or not. |
| 09:08 | <@McMartin> | And use match() instead of isMatch() |

| 14:55 | < Vornicus> | i'm making a game. I need to load the data and put it together such that the rest of the computer can use it. |
| 14:55 | < Vornicus> | the rest of the program, that is. |
| 15:06 | <@gnolam> | Ah. |
| 15:12 | | * gnolam fiddles with vectors. |
| 15:24 | < Xiphias> | Anyone have experience of Java's regex? groupCount() is reporting too many groups. |

| 18:44 | < MyCatVerbs> | My head hurts. This is decidedly suboptimal. |
| 18:45 | <@jerith> | Indeed. |
| 18:46 | <@jerith> | I recommend a poultice of crabs and gangfoon shrubs. |
| 18:50 | < MyCatVerbs> | Is that supposed to be a headache remedy? |
| 18:51 | < MyCatVerbs> | 'Cuz while it'd be welcome, I don't have any of the mentioned widgets on hand. |
| 18:51 | <@jerith> | It was a "traditional" remedy I made up on the spot. |
| 18:51 | <@jerith> | It is good for headches, rodent infestations and debugging null pointer exceptions. |
| 18:52 | < GeekSoldier> | versatile. |
| 18:55 | < MyCatVerbs> | Hrmn. Got any crash-course treatments for I-don't-fucking-have-a-clue-about-numerical-analysis? |

| 19:00 | <@MyCatVerbs> | EvilDarkLord: no, but I've tried a keyboard to the head as an 802.11g configuration aid before, out of sheer frustration. Didn't work. |
| 19:15 | <@MyCatVerbs> | ...it works! <3 |
| 19:15 | <@MyCatVerbs> | I don't quite understand why, but gift horse dentistry is for suckers! |

| 19:47 | | * Vornicus is just wondering what gnolam is mad about. |
| 19:48 | <@gnolam> | There's something wrong with my billboarding, and I can't figure it out. |
| 19:55 | <@gnolam> | Just putting the billboarded vertices in a plane parallel with the camera's "up" and "right" vectors should do it, right? |
| 19:55 | <@Vornicus> | have to put them in front of everything, too. |
| 19:56 | <@Vornicus> | And inside the view frustrum. |
| 19:56 | <@gnolam> | Of course. |
| 19:57 | <@gnolam> | But... it doesn't seem to work. |
| 19:57 | <@Vornicus> | What's wrong? |
| 19:58 | <@gnolam> | They come out... distorted. :P |
| 20:00 | <@gnolam> | Meaning either I'm doing the camera vectors all wrong, or this geometry is /Lovecraftian/. |

| 23:35 | < Doctor_Nick> | does anyone know where I can find the POSIX floppy API specs? |
| 23:35 | <@McMartin> | ... aren't they basically the same as any other mounted drive? |
| 23:36 | < Doctor_Nick> | i suppose? |
| 23:36 | <@McMartin> | Are you trying to write a floppy driver or read stuff off a floppy disk? |
| 23:36 | < Doctor_Nick> | i'm implementing a file system |
| 23:38 | < Doctor_Nick> | i need to read information off the disk in sectors and stuff |
| 23:47 | < Doctor_Nick> | any ideas or no? |
| 23:51 | <@McMartin> | Mmm |
| 23:52 | <@McMartin> | Try googling "block device" along with other things like API. |
| 23:53 | <@McMartin> | Devices you deal with in terms of sectors operate at the block level in POSIX. |
| 23:53 | < Doctor_Nick> | yeah |
| 23:54 | <@McMartin> | But most of POSIX will treat it as Just Another File |
| 23:55 | < Doctor_Nick> | surely there's system calls for accessing them though |
| 23:55 | <@McMartin> | Yes. |
| 23:55 | <@McMartin> | But I don't know what they are. |
| 23:55 | < Doctor_Nick> | neither do I |
| 23:56 | < Doctor_Nick> | this assignment refers to a "POSIX floppy disk drive API" but doesnt give me a link or anything |
| 23:57 | <@McMartin> | Pester your TAs. |
| 23:57 | <@McMartin> | I don't think they mean http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/cosc470/linux-documentation-2.6.18/kernel-api/ch22.htm l |
| 23:57 | <@McMartin> | They probably just want open(), read(), and write() to work. |
| 23:57 | <@McMartin> | So, yeah, pester instructors. |
