<@TheWatcher>
That or his stack didn't~
14:10
<@celticminstrel>
Heh.
14:14 * TheWatcher ponders memset()
14:15
<@TheWatcher>
You know, I can't believe I have only just noticed that the second argument to this is an int
14:15
<@celticminstrel>
?
14:16
<@TheWatcher>
I'd alwasy mentally read it as a int8_t
14:16
<@TheWatcher>
*always
14:16
<@celticminstrel>
Oh. It is used as that though, isn't it?
14:20
<@TheWatcher>
Yep
14:22
<@TheWatcher>
AFAIK it does 'c & 0xFF'. Just threw me to realise it while I was talking to a student about it.
14:27
<@Azash>
celticminstrel: I like very few of them, but no :P
14:28
<@Azash>
TheWatcher: Wouldn't that just be.. c?
14:28 * TheWatcher eyes the actual implementation in glibc
14:29
<@Azash>
I mean, if that's binary and
14:29
<@TheWatcher>
op_t cccc = (unsigned char) c; cccc |= cccc << 8; cccc |= cccc << 16;
14:30
<@celticminstrel>
Azash: No?
14:30
<@Azash>
How come?
14:30
<@celticminstrel>
Because c is an int.
14:31
<@Azash>
I thought & works with no regard to how the binary pattern is interpreted?
14:31
<@celticminstrel>
...
14:31
<@celticminstrel>
An int can store values greater than 0xff, silly.
14:31
<@Azash>
Oh
14:32
<@Azash>
I see, my bad

14:34
<@Syk>
well, I can, but I shouldn't, really
14:35
<@Azash>
If you do, I can heartily endorse the Filco majestouch

Azash: I have a DAS Model S, which makes me wonder about the point of upgrading
14:35
<@Azash>
Ah
14:36
<@Azash>
Hm
14:36
<@Syk>
I really like the model s, but i'm tempted for something tenkeyless
14:36
<@Syk>
since I never ever use the tenkeys
14:36
<@Azash>
Well, if you are curious, you could try to find a way to compare various types of switch
14:36
<@Syk>
I really like the switch in this
14:36
<@Syk>
which is um
14:36
<@Azash>
Like a friend or a store who will let you takatak a bit
14:36
<@Syk>
cherry blues or reds or something
14:36
<@Syk>
nothing around :/
14:36 * Syk lives in the middle of nowhere
14:37
<@Syk>
I have a Steelseries 7G which has bouncy switches
14:37
<@Syk>
whatevers in this DAS is pretty much perfect
14:37 thalass [thalass@Nightstar-f97b970e.bigpond.net.au] has quit [[NS] Quit: argh]
14:37

but the DAS gets really grubby really easy, and is a bit too big
14:38
<@Azash>
Oh yeah I cleaned the filco one
14:38
<@Azash>
s/e$/ce/
14:38
<@Azash>
It was painful, in the literal sense
14:38
<@Syk>
wut
14:38
<@Syk>
what did you do
14:39 * TheWatcher misses his old Sun Type 5, sads
14:39
<@Syk>
i really really hate the multiple-key bars
14:39
<@Azash>
Pry the keys off with my fingers
14:39
<@Azash>
Oh yes
14:39
<@Syk>
absolutely none of the tenkeys have the fucking bars
14:39
<@Syk>
because I was like FFFF
14:39
<@Azash>
Well, the trick is to remove the adjacent key so you can move them aside
14:40
<@Azash>
Like to remove the numpad zero, remove the comma/del, then push it to the right
14:40
<@Azash>
And the left bar should come off
14:40
<@Azash>
Then you can tilt it and pull it out to the left
14:41
<@Syk>
i mean putting them back in
14:41
<@Azash>
Oh
14:41
<@Azash>
The reverse worked pretty easily on mine

Can anyone explain how you use a Baysian Network to perform inference?

I'm having trouble picking that information out of the Norvig book as the OCR is messed up in that chapter.

Hm... how can I get the actual font of an HTML element?
23:17
<@celticminstrel>
It's easy with jQuery to get the CSS string that the browser uses to select the font, but I want to know which one it selected...
23:17
<@celticminstrel>
(Unless the canvas API accepts that sort of font string.)
23:17
<&ToxicFrog>
From JS or as a user?
23:17
<&ToxicFrog>
It might; try it
23:17
<@celticminstrel>
JS.
23:19
<@celticminstrel>
What would happen if it doesn't? An error, or just fallback to some default font?

Consult the specifications?
23:21
<@celticminstrel>
The canvas specifications? I guess so.
23:22
