Ah hah! That's why it wasn't working!

<@Derakon>
Evidently the name "util" for a module is not as unique as I originally assumed!

02:33 * McMartin sets the "days estimated" for two of his bugs to "infinite"
02:34
<@Vornicus>
...what kind of bugs are these?
02:36
<@McMartin>
Ones where an assumption about how easy it would be to control a third-party application was wrong.
02:38
<@Vornicus>
aha
02:47
<@McMartin>
In this case, we thought a certain widget would be an OS-visible widget we could just send messages to; in fact it is a block of pixels being hand-painted onto a canvas, so we lose.
02:50
<@Vornicus>
Aha
02:50
<@Vornicus>
That would certainlhy cause grief.
02:50
<@Vornicus>
As too do rogue hs.

For the other one, it's a shorthand for "I need a week to do experiments to scope out how big a project this even is"

05:38 * Derakon fixes an odd collision detection bug by checking if the *denominator* is near zero instead of the *numerator*.
05:38
<@Derakon>
Whups.
05:38
<@Derakon>
Kinda weird when your program says that the projection of the polygon onto a vector is [inf, inf].
05:40
<@SmithKurosaki>
haha
05:55
<@Derakon>
So, with 1 object onscreen, I get 60FPS.
05:55
<@Derakon>
With 21, I get ~35FPS.
05:55

This is...not great.

<@Vornicus-Latens>
??
12:14
<@gnolam>
I have to figure out how much error to add to a momentary value to get specified standard deviations of error on a running average.
12:15
<@gnolam>
Where the latter changes depending on the magnitude of the average.
12:15
<@gnolam>
s/average/real value
12:16
<@Vornicus-Latens>
you are trying to stream a standard deviation?
12:16
<@gnolam>
Err... I guess? :)
12:17
<@Vornicus-Latens>
...actually rereading I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what it is you're trying to do!
12:18
<@gnolam>
The instrument I'm simulating takes constant measurements, with 2 to 5 seconds between each measurement. The value of those is displayed as the momentary value * 1/8 + the previous value * 7/8.
12:18
<@gnolam>
However, it also has a mode which displays the average of the last 5 minutes' measurements.
12:19
<@gnolam>
That average will have also have an error.
12:20
<@gnolam>
That error depends on the true value.
12:20
<@gnolam>
The standard deviations for that error are known for some true values.
12:21
<@gnolam>
Now, I have to find out how much error to add to the momentary value at each simulated measurement to match it to those known deviations.
