| 03:19 | <~Vornicus> | So, recent game acquisition, Pandemic |
| 03:20 | <~Vornicus> | One of the steps of setup is to split a deck of cards into some number of piles (more for more difficulty), add a card to each, shuffle each, then stack them atop each other, smallest pile on bottom |
| 03:23 | <~Vornicus> | It makes me wonder how I'd do it using a computer |
| 03:31 | <~Vornicus> | ...probably just take the deck and randomly assign each card to one of the piles |
| 04:04 | < [R]> | Sort the deck normally, generate random numbers that sum up to the deck-size. Sort the numbers. For each number insert card at that point. |
| 04:09 | < [R]> | s/Sort the deck/Shuffle the deck/ |
| 04:27 | < [R]> | Vornicus: poke? |
| 04:33 | <@celticminstrel> | Is there a word to describe "the minimum rect that contains two rects"? |
| 04:35 | <@Reiv> | Vornicus: Ooooh, Pandemic is /fantastic/ |
| 04:35 | <@Reiv> | I also strongly reccomend getting On The Brink |
| 04:35 | <@Reiv> | The later expansions tend towards "Here, have more busywork" |
| 04:35 | <@Reiv> | But On The Brink comes with 4x modules you can mix in to make it harder. |
| 04:36 | <@Reiv> | I love the Virulent Strain rules; I love them even more when you houserule it to be for /whatever the new infection is/ because it makes multiple strains even more gloriously chaotic. |
| 04:39 | | Turaiel is now known as Turaiel[Offline] |
| 04:40 | <@Reiv> | (More than once we've simply identified the Virulent Strain and then stomped all over it for the rest of the game, which is a little less nerve-wracking.) |
| 04:54 | < [R]> | "I've realized the proper definition of an excess of nacho cheese is, in fact, not enough tortilla chips." |
| 05:00 | <~Vornicus> | Thing is |
| 05:01 | <~Vornicus> | Pandemic is all right if you feel like it's possible to win |

| 05:01 | <~Vornicus> | 2 player is way, way, way, way easier than 4 |
| 05:02 | <~Vornicus> | Like, to the point where two of my three two player games have ended so well as to allow enough time to completely eradicate all four, and the two four-player games were nowhere close to winnable. |

| 05:49 | <&jeroud> | I think four player is fairly well balanced. |
| 05:50 | <&jeroud> | At least, the games I've played have been pretty close and we've won a little more than half. |

| 05:58 | <~Vornicus> | Yeah, these haven't been anywhere close |
| 05:59 | <&jeroud> | Then again, we mostly play Arkham Horror with various expansions, so our scale might be calibrated differently. |

| 06:48 | <~Vornicus> | celmin: "convex hull", but that's a little too general |
| 06:48 | <~Vornicus> | alternately: "bounding box", again a little too general |

| 10:40 | < catadroid> | does anyone else get so stressed that they can't concentrate on programming at all? |
| 10:41 | <@TheWatcher> | Yep |
| 10:41 | <&jerith> | Sometimes. Not so much now that I have ADHD meds. |
| 10:42 | <&jerith> | (Or rather, the stress affects my concentration less.) |
| 10:47 | | * catadroid nods |
| 10:47 | < catadroid> | because I'm currently so stressed about medication that I can't keep enough in my working memory |
| 10:48 | | * jerith hugs. |
| 10:48 | <&jerith> | I find that taking some time to play videogames or something helps. |
| 10:49 | <&jerith> | (More with general concentration issues than stress specifically, though.) |
| 10:51 | | * catadroid hugs |
| 10:51 | < catadroid> | that'd be handy if I wasn't at work |
| 10:52 | < catadroid> | (ironically building games) |
| 10:59 | <&ToxicFrog> | When that happens to me, I sometimes take my laptop to an empty meeting room and play a few floors of DoomRL to get my head back. >.> |

| 11:08 | | * TheWatcher hairpulls at CODICIL WINTER HILL |
| 11:09 | <@TheWatcher> | Subscriptions are consistently being sent 10 minutes later each day, for no apparent sane reason |
| 11:09 | <&jerith> | Best line of the conference so far: "This loop is going to keep leaking flowers until the vase is destroyed." |
| 11:12 | <&ToxicFrog> | jerith: yesterday: "projects codenamed 'flogger' will continue until originality improves." |
| 11:12 | | * jerith grins. |
| 11:12 | <&jerith> | I stole a meme from here for my talk's subtitle: LET YOUR ARMY OF ROBOTS WRITE YOUR TESTS |
| 11:16 | <&McMartin> | GO FORTH, MY ARMY OF ROBOTS |
| 11:17 | <&jerith> | The caps are because reveal.js and gigantic piles of CSS. |
| 11:30 | < catadroid> | ToxicFrog: I'm currently watching cppcon talks |

| 11:30 | < [R]> | <catadroid> does anyone else get so stressed that they can't concentrate on programming at all? <-- yeah. I've been so stressed that I couldn't do anything for like 3 weeks. |
