Also, bleh

<&McMartin>
Some of the refactoring I did before taking this project on, in the expectation that it would make this project easier, probably will touch on this project at basically no points
00:20
<&McMartin>
Oh well, at least it will have made the original code a little cleaner.

06:18 * abudhabi accidentally discovers shift+printscreen in Mint.
06:18
<@abudhabi>
Neat.
06:19
<&McMartin>
Is that "capture current window"?
06:19
<@abudhabi>
Select area to take screenshot of.
06:20
<&McMartin>
Ah, fun times
06:20
<@abudhabi>
I was previously just using a toolbar icon to get to the screenshot prompt where I selected this.
06:20
<@abudhabi>
This is a great shortcut.

< catalyst>
windows+shift+S does that in win 10

Vornicus, nice.

I learned about Java's stream collectors. they're pretty cool.

16:02
<@sshine>
I used this for a job interview and they were pretty impressed.
16:04
<@sshine>
I was applying for a Java job, and the take-home test was "randomly sample among gigabytes of search results", and I thought this must've been the canonical way to do that... and since I hadn't touched Java since before they got streams, it was very exciting to do something that's declarative, high-level *and* efficient. :D
16:07
<@sshine>
so they were thrilled, and I mentioned my expected salary, and the HR woman was "you know this is a government job, right?" and I said "I'm asking for a $750/mo. raise to switch jobs and add 1 hour commute + buy a car"
16:09
<@sshine>
I don't know what it is about working under collective agreements. I think they were originally made so employers wouldn't bully employees into low wages. so when employers use collective agreements as an argument to not pay you properly, that seems super fishy. I understand that collective agreements in government jobs serve another purpose: to pay everyone somewhat equally. so it just attracts less ambitiou
16:10
<@sshine>
s people, since more ambitious people could just make 20-30% more in the private sector without question.

fuckyeah, reservoir sampling
16:26

oh, that's cool

Vornicus, nice one!
17:52

awesome :)

< catalyst>
for once C++ came through since it has std::next_permutation

oh swank
18:34 * gnolam arghs at yields.
18:34
<@gnolam>
Also, why do my jobs always end up with me calculating yields?
18:39
<&jeroud>
Would you prefer to yield those calculations to others?
18:40 * Vornicus gives gnolam `yield break;`
18:46
< Yossarian>
everybody wrote something I just don't trust the people who wrote the things, typically
19:27
< Emmy>
gnolam, as long as it's not nuclear yields...
19:28
< Yossarian>
He's a steely eyed missle man
19:28
< Yossarian>
Rockin' out in a silo or the Pentagon.
19:29
< Yossarian>
or maybe they're chemical yields
19:30
< Yossarian>
He's working for Walter White.
19:30
< Yossarian>
Or calculating yield signs and where they ought to be placed, he's a civil engineer!
19:32
<&jeroud>
Knowing gnolam, my money's on fissionables.

<@Tamber>
Gone Fission.
19:37
<~Vornicus>
yeah, I know one project gnolam worked on was a Half-Life mod that was a simulator for using a type of handheld radiation monitor, or something like that.

< Emmy>
oh right XD

<@gnolam>
Last time it was nuclide and radiation yields. Now it's colorants.
21:49
<@sshine>
gnolam, what does 'calculating yields' mean? are you in the farming business? :D
22:02
<@gnolam>
In the first case, "given a bunch of atoms with an identity crisis, what do you eventually end up with, and exactly what nasty shit, by type and energy, do they spew in the process" and in the latter "if you mix a bunch of stuff together, how much does each substance contribute to the final color of the mixture compared to how much is actually in it".
22:24
<@sshine>
gnolam, is this research simulations?
22:25
<@sshine>
gnolam, or is that actual radiation and color being spewed out? :-D
22:38
<@gnolam>
The first was academic research. Backed up by physical experiments, and meant to simulate real-life scenarios. So... both?
22:38
<@gnolam>
The latter is very much applied science. Industrial software.
22:42
<@gnolam>
Because it turns out that you can literally double your salary by working for the corporate sector instead of the public good. :P
22:45
<@Reiv>
gnolam: Alas, it is far too true
23:04
<@sshine>
gnolam, hehe.
23:05
<@sshine>
but. that means I could *halve* my salary if I get a public-sector job!
23:05
<@sshine>
which I'm not sure why I'd do except for the opportunity to *double* my salary!
