| 05:11 | | * McMartin cues the Little Mermaid sequence |
| 05:14 | | * Vornicus shoots McM. Out of a cannon. Into a volcano. |
| 05:16 | <@McMartin> | If you were to take it and code a binary-tree algorithm that used them, you could even follow up with "love to hack and to chop zem in two" |
| 05:18 | <@Vornicus> | Actually I used the poisson distribution to analyze typical bin loads in a hash table. |
| 05:34 | <@McMartin> | Oh hey, Go has inheritance and dynamic casts after all. |
| 05:35 | <@McMartin> | It's kind of coy about what happens if you do what looks like multiple inheritance though. |
| 05:43 | < simon`> | class inheritance? |
| 05:45 | <@McMartin> | Effectively. |
| 05:45 | <@McMartin> | If a struct A has an anonymous field of type B, all of B's methods are bound for A, to B's field. |
| 05:45 | <@McMartin> | It's not clear here what happens if B and C are anonymous fields in A and they implement overlapping protocols. |
| 06:14 | <@Vornicus> | Whups. Did something wrong. |
| 06:14 | | * Vornicus tries to figure out why this isn't working... |
| 06:18 | <@Vornicus> | ...because my bisector doesn't feel like returning a value? that's strange, it says it is. |
| 06:35 | | * Vornicus has misread the debugging output! |
| 06:36 | <@Vornicus> | Okay. Actual error: searching to see if something is in there should use bisect_left, not bisect_right. |
| 06:37 | <@McMartin> | (love to hack and to chop zem in two) |
| 06:37 | | * Vornicus shoots McM |
| 06:38 | <@Vornicus> | out of the volcano, into the sun. |
| 06:45 | | * simon` grumbles at not having a Unicode-compatible fixed-width font at 13pt. |
| 07:09 | <@Vornicus> | Error #52,359: Do try to remember to pass your return value back up the recursion. |
| 07:19 | <@Vornicus> | Error #52,360: == does not assign. |
| 07:21 | < simon`> | is it correct that converting an NFA to a DFA takes exponential time? |
| 07:22 | < simon`> | never mind, silly question. |
| 07:25 | | * Vornicus manages to, finally, get around to completing his B-tree. It is amazing how uncomplicated it is; his non-self-balancing binary tree code is 86 lines long, and his b-tree code is 121 lines long. |
| 07:28 | < simon`> | what language? |
| 07:28 | <@Vornicus> | Javascript. |
| 07:29 | < simon`> | aren't there good abstract datatype libraries for JS? |
| 07:29 | <@Vornicus> | Data structures class, independent study; javascript was chosen because 1. we both know it, 2. it's not at all difficult to set up a UI for. |

| 10:39 | <@AnnoDomini> | Hum. |
| 10:39 | <@AnnoDomini> | I'm wondering how to do the database for a message board. |
| 10:40 | <@AnnoDomini> | It's not a problem for basic, publicly viewable stuff - USER, POST and THREAD tables with some reliations work fine. |
| 10:40 | <@AnnoDomini> | What concerns me is private messages. |
| 10:41 | <@AnnoDomini> | I mean, the MESSAGE and USER tables would have to have a double relation. |
| 10:41 | <@AnnoDomini> | The sender and receiver. I'm not sure how to do this. |
| 10:42 | <@AnnoDomini> | I mean, I could probably just put a non-related mess_target field that would be filled with a value equal to the destined user's ID, and call it a day. |
| 10:42 | <@AnnoDomini> | But I'm wondering if there's a better way. |
| 10:57 | <@AnnoDomini> | Using double relations seems wrong for some reason, but the design program doesn't protest. |
| 11:00 | <@AnnoDomini> | http://i36.tinypic.com/25tcjyo.jpg <- Does anything about these diagrams seem wrong to you? |
| 11:25 | <@TheWatcher> | Seems pretty sensible to me |
| 11:28 | <@AnnoDomini> | I'm not certain about the relation of THREADPOST and POST. I want every post linked to exactly one thread. Will this do it? |
| 11:29 | <@TheWatcher> | Yes |
| 11:32 | <@AnnoDomini> | Cool. Thanks! |

| 11:58 | <@AnnoDomini> | Damn. There do seem to be problems. |
| 11:58 | <@AnnoDomini> | I need a clear path to follow when creating new entries - right now it seems that I must update POST and THREADPOST simultaneously. |
| 12:03 | | * gnolam arghs. |
| 12:04 | < gnolam> | Something is rotten in the state of Cubemap. |

| 12:31 | < gnolam> | I forgot to actually /update/ the camera's direction vector. :P |
| 12:36 | <@AnnoDomini> | Damn it. I can't seem to make it look like I want it to look without also making it a one-to-many relation, which feels wrong when I don't want a post to have many threads it belongs to. I guess it wouldn't actually BREAK anything, but it feels incorrect. |
| 12:45 | <@AnnoDomini> | But the damn SQL generator is complaining at me, and failing to build the code. |
| 12:49 | <@AnnoDomini> | It seems there are bugs in the software, when overwriting existing models. |
| 12:50 | <@AnnoDomini> | Some things get left over from previous iterations. |

| 19:25 | <@AnnoDomini> | Oooh. Something easy! |
| 19:26 | | * Vornicus-Latens does battle with such things as operator priority |
| 19:28 | | * Derakon hands Vorn some parentheses. |
| 19:28 | | * Vornicus-Latens is doing battle with those, too. |
| 19:29 | <@Derakon> | Lisp? |
| 19:29 | <@Vornicus-Latens> | No, writing a calculator in javascript |
| 19:33 | < dmlandrum> | I don't know if it's possible to beat any of these. Writing a relational database in batch? |
| 19:44 | <@Vornicus-Latens> | That would be unfun. |
| 19:46 | <@McMartin> | Do we get access to awk too~ |
| 20:26 | | * simon` is also battling with operator precedence |
| 20:27 | < simon`> | one weekly assignment is to write a CFG for a language with four distinct orders of precedence. |
| 20:31 | < simon`> | there was a guy who wrote a pie chart viewer in SQL |

| 20:42 | <@Vornicus-Latens> | That's vaguely insane |
