[14:47] Nick Change: me changed nick to Fluffy [14:59] Join: Core_old joined #corewars [15:26] Join: heath joined #corewars [15:26] hi heath [15:26] Hello. [15:34] Be greeted Core_old and heath :) [15:34] coi flyfis. [15:42] Or maybe: coi la'o gy. Fluffy gy. [15:45] dammit. [15:45] ? [15:45] fluffy: the hacker test says I'm a guru :) [15:45] but I'm dammit'ing because my office is starting at 23.5C today :( [15:46] Hacker test? [15:46] which means come 12:30 it'll be like 30C :( [15:46] yeah. [15:46] http://www.armory.com/tests/hacker.html [15:46] bvowk: same problem here :( [15:46] it's a little old for some here.. [15:47] I had to go and work on alot of vintage gear and software to get my score up to guru :) [15:47] yes and some questions are outdated [15:47] 23.5 is hot? [15:47] It will probably be 40C at noon today here. [15:47] heath: That's your fault. You don't have to live where you live ;-) [15:48] Fluffy: Easy for you to say. I seem to be stuck here. [15:48] heath: not inside [15:48] I'm betting you've got a 22C office you're sitting in. [15:48] my office is supposed to be cooled.. but they're having difficulties. [15:49] bvowk: It's probably about 26 in here. [15:49] well.. I'm canadian.. [15:49] its hot here like 3 days out of the year.. [15:50] :) [15:50] and then the rest of the time we're huddled together for warmth [15:50] The rest of the building is probably like at 22-23, but I have three machines in here. [15:50] I've got all my machines moved out.. [15:51] only one thats here is the lovely 3jane [15:51] I have good ol' crebain, clayton and heat4919 (I didn't name any of them). [15:52] let me guess... US II's and IIIi's? [15:52] 4 processors 3 boxes? :) [15:53] at least I'm not working in the hell hole.. my friend works underground.. like *WAY* underground.. 3 stories worth.. [15:53] so normally the temperature variation for his office is like <1C [15:53] Well, crebain is a SunBlade 2500, 2 processors. Clayton is a SunBlade 100, and heat4919 is a dell of some sort. [15:54] 2 stories underground? [15:54] however, yesterday it went from 21C->34C, they broke his chilled water feed.. [15:54] no, 3 stories underground [15:54] Oops, that's what I meant, my finger went a little too far to the left. [15:54] so we were teasing him about his hell hole of an office. [15:55] That pretty darn hot. [15:55] he's with chemistry.. works down with the NMR equipment, its vibrationally sensitive, so they locate it underground so they don't have to worry about trucks driving by and rattling the machines.. [15:55] its not good to have their chilled water fucked up tho.. [15:55] because the NMR's are basicly super cooled permanent electromagenets.. [15:56] Wow. [15:56] so they've got a magnet surrounded by liquid helium, in jacket of liquid nitrogen, cooled by chilled water.. [15:56] Hey bvowk: Can you get me into a graduate program there? [15:57] if you fuck things up too badly.. the liquid helium (which has a painfully low heat capacticy per ml) will "quench" and suddenly blast off into gaseous form.. [15:57] which effectively destroys a very expensive insturment, and can cause explosions if the offgassing system doesn't work quite right. [15:57] heath: yeah... [15:57] Really? [15:57] you're CS right? [15:57] Yes. [15:58] you can talk to the graduate coordinator.. [15:58] My biggest problem, of course, is money. [15:58] [15:58] well, they'll pay you a little as a grad student.. [15:58] but you should be able to get a working visa for canada pretty easily.. [15:59] which means you can work off campus (which means you can make actual money, instead of toy money) [15:59] foriegn student tuition is insane (from a canadian perspective) but I'm told its pretty reasonable by US standards [16:00] http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/programs/graduate/ [16:00] there's all the info [16:00] Yes, but I already owe so much money from my undergraduate loans, and I doubt that they will let me put off paying it back since I probably can't get US federal aid to go to a canadian school. [16:00] MSc? [16:01] well, you could just leave your fascist homeland and never come back.. [16:01] I know several who have :) [16:01] And never paid back their loans? [16:01] thats what I'm told [16:02] That's just wrong. [16:02] apparently the one guy has to pay huge sums of money to fly around the US every time he goes anywhere, because he's afraid of the collections people.. [16:02] heath: They force you to say that, right? [16:03] I'll seriously look into the possibility of going there for grad school, though. Do you know how much they pay? [16:03] In the ballpark, I mean. [16:03] Fluffy: :) [16:03] no, I have no idea.. [16:03] but the grad students complain about it so much that I expect its just barely enough [16:04] I may be getting another job today, so my grad school plans may have to wait, but I am beggining to notice that I don't belong in "the real world". [16:04] heh [16:05] As soon as I read something along the lines of: "I am an INTP living in as SJ world.", I had an epiphany. [16:06] Being an INTP is like having a dissability, [16:06] no its not. [16:07] You still get to be in acedemia. I'm not sure if you have had to work out there with normal people, but it is scary. [16:07] Jobs are made for SJ's, bot for me. :( [16:07] s/bot/not/ [16:09] damn ... praying to the Rain God doesn't work :( [16:09] By the way, I recently took the Mensa test, so I'll get to see if I'm in the 98th like you. [16:09] heh [16:09] there are lots of online IQ tests.. [16:10] you should try something like the titan test if you think you're that smart. [16:10] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paparuda [16:11] dammit.. [16:11] its times like this that corewars needs women. [16:11] (cause it needs to rain here so I don't die of heat) [16:13] I think they are wrong in the article. It won't work that way. [16:13] You could probably make due with just doing it yourself. These are desperate times. I'm sure everyone will oblige if you go running through the streets wearing a vine skirt and knokin of their doors. [16:13] I don't think the rain gods would be fooled. [16:13] The Rain God (as almost every other God) is female. [16:14] given my pale hairy flesh, they might be seriously peeved too. [16:14] and only a small part of them might be interested in half-nacked women [16:14] But what about a half naked bvowk? [16:15] http://www.math.ualberta.ca/~bvowk/ and think again ;-) [16:17] Dude, I wan't to move to canada. That stream looks awesome. [16:17] thats not near here tho [16:17] thats in BC. [16:17] Oh. [16:17] Well, anything is better than the desert that is here. [16:17] the mountains aren't here.. [16:18] but its certainly not desert (unless you go to the southern edge of this provience.. they're you're in the badlands.. semi-arid) [16:18] bvowks page makes me want to put some evolving on =/ [16:19] but i am such useless SOB on any real prog-language [16:19] heh [16:19] Mizcu: Try Malbolge then [16:19] you know fake programming languages? [16:19] mizcu: try python.. its pretty quick to learn.. [16:19] most people pick it up in an afternoon [16:20] and there's a few packages for connecting corewars up to it [16:20] bvowk: Of course there are fake programming languages [16:20] whitespace-lenght-error comes to my mind [16:20] miz: not really an issue for most people.. [16:21] Mizcu: You'll forget about it quite soon [16:21] most people can tell their spaces from their tabs :) [16:21] if you can't.. maybe programming isn't for you afterall :)_ [16:21] maybe i just enjoy qbasic too much [16:21] *waits for the sounds of horror* [16:22] Mizcu: Ah the nostalgia of 4th grade. [16:22] * bvowk would make sounds of horror, but is too stunned to make anything but a pathetic gurgle. [16:23] * Fluffy hugs Mizcu for being oppressed by it [16:24] hell, maybe i could write a little beast right now [16:24] qbasic is to programming like a plastic cafeteria spoon is to a trackhoe [16:25] i've been up for er, 18 hours so my actions are not responsible anyway [16:25] its ok for kids playing in the dirt.. but after that its time to ask dad if you can use something a little better. [16:26] bvowk: It isn't even ok for kids. [16:26] All people (that I know) who have learned qbasic and have never done anything IT-related since, assume, that every programming language is like it [16:26] well, no it wasn't, but if they'd asked an adult they wouldn't have let them play in the dirt at all :) [16:28] I remember seeing a language that was created with the intention of being the most cumbersome and confusing language ever. I can't find it now though. [16:28] heath: Malbolge? [16:29] Mizcu: If you like QBasic why not try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_programming_language :-) [16:29] YES. [16:29] * bvowk has been hacking alot of scheme lately [16:29] Fluffy: How did you remember that? [16:29] he writes half his stuff in it! [16:29] Because I quite like artificial (and almost useless) programming languages [16:31] Dang, I forgot to bring my little fishy crackers with me today. What am I supposed to eat now? [16:31] dude.. you really *ARE* not suited for the real world. [16:31] heath: Tell me more about that eat-thing. [16:31] I take it back :) [16:32] heath: I usually would just change the question [16:32] heath: "Who am I supposed to eat now?" [16:32] :) [16:32] I'll just have some almonds. Luckily I still have some of those left in my stash. [16:33] Everything tastes like chicken anyway [16:33] I really need to restock my stash, [16:35] bvowk: No kidding I am not suited for the real world. [16:39] * bvowk is still attempting to cut bodyfat.. [16:39] no snacks here.. [16:39] especially none of the not protein variety [16:39] bvowk: A knife miht help [16:39] heh [16:39] *might [16:40] I *must* have snacks. [16:40] yeah, but it takes so long to heal then.. [16:40] I used to be like that.... [16:40] really? [16:40] but one day I decided that I missed my six pack from high school.. [16:41] lol [16:41] So far I've discovered only on way to reduce my weight [16:41] so I stopped drinking cola.. started watching what I ate.. cut like 99% of the sugar out of my diet (which basicly required rediscovering the fact that there were entire groups of food unrelated to sugar!) [16:41] ... to become seriouly ill [16:41] *seriously [16:41] heh [16:41] my parents think I'm seriously ill.. [16:42] It really works. If you are really ill, you don't want to eat anything [16:42] bvowk: Because of not wanting sugar? [16:42] my grandmother keeps sending me all my favorite pies and cakes and cookies every time she sees me.. [16:42] no, because they're not used to seeing someone with <25% bf [16:42] bvowk: That's usual for all grandmothers [16:43] its funny tho.. [16:43] Well, I eat no crap at all. But I must have snacks to function. The facts are probably related. I don't eat theat much, but I need to eat small ammounts all the time. [16:43] because now if I have a donut, or a bit of cake.. I'm absolutely *WIRED* for hours.. [16:43] heath: yeah, I'm much the same way.. I have to eat like 6 times a day [16:43] otherwise my blood sugar crashes.. [16:43] Never eat cake. It is full of HFCS and caseinates, usually. Unless you bake it yourself. [16:43] and then I'm seriously snarly.. [16:44] dude.. I work in a department with like 30 research groups, apparently academic life is centered around getting together for donuts and birthday cakes.. [16:44] I can usually skip most of them without anyone noticing.. but some of them bake really good cakes and are terribly offended if you turn them down.. [16:45] Never eat it, it is poison. The devil want you to suffer, and temptation is his tool. [16:45] heh [16:45] stopped putting cream in my coffee too.. [16:45] Oh, if they bake it from scratch, then it is probably OK. [16:45] Coffee is total poison. [16:46] heath: huh? [16:46] its amazing how much better coffee is if you drink it black (and then pay attention to the coffee, because now you can actually taste it, and you realize that any brand is not a good buying strategy) [16:46] coffee is great! [16:46] Unless they bake it with splenda, then you need to avoid it like the plague. [16:46] dude.. [16:46] artificial sweeteners are evil.. [16:46] Caffine is the devil. [16:47] I find if I get any of them, my metabolism is sluggish.. [16:47] (and since I watch everything I eat really carefully, I can tell that) [16:47] Artificial sweetners are almost always neurotoxins. [16:47] bvowk/heath: You are both wrong. Milk is the solution to everything! [16:47] fluffy: bah. coffee. [16:47] Milk is OK, but it tastes like cow juice. [16:47] hehe [16:48] I generally drink rice milk. [16:48] funny discussion to listen to... [16:48] heath: That's not milk [16:48] maybe you should stay in california :) [16:48] especially for a doctor :-) [16:48] core: whats your feeling on artificial sweeteners? [16:48] you're right about those neurotoxins... [16:48] they made an test with diet coke: [16:49] It slows the brain (to say it in an easy way) up to 75% in some areas [16:49] whee, i found the C-bible, gotta start reading it [16:49] weeellll....IIII......llllllike.....it......... [16:49] Core_old: My brain in usually quite stationary (relative to my body ;-) [16:49] ... [16:49] (i've been trying for almost a year..) [16:49] he, mine too [16:50] old Core: Then how can you slow it down? ;-) [16:50] Mizcu: Why? [16:50] I han't had caffine since I was a freshman in high school, I think. [16:50] na, it *works* slower ... I know that you know! :-D [16:51] heath: How old are freshmen? (usually) [16:51] Fluffy: 15. [16:51] okay, have to go ... shopping for some salad...mhm [16:51] * Fluffy waves [16:51] Fluffy: why is questioning which part of my speech? [16:51] Core_old: Don't put any of that MSG sauce dressing on it. [16:51] basicly its like a sugar your body can't metabolise.. so it wedges the furnace your body tries to stuff it into, and nothing can be burned there until its cleared [16:51] Mizcu: Why do you want to read that C-bible? [16:52] Join: Roy joined #corewars [16:52] since your brain is the only organ that must run on sugars, thats where all of the not-sugar goes and gets stuffed up. [16:52] Fluffy: caus' they say it bettah than basic [16:52] Hi Roy [16:52] Hi dear cool friendly Fluffy! [16:52] Mizcu: You should really try Python or Ruby instead [16:52] * Roy suggests Ruby [16:52] the most active parts of the brain (drawing the most fuel to burn) get abused the worst. [16:52] sheesh [16:52] lesson: artificial sweeteners are bad. [16:52] Roy: My body temperature hasn't changed since you've greeted my last time [16:53] I loce straight C. [16:53] s/loce/love/ [16:53] But I also love Common LISP, you should look into those, Mizcu. [16:53] heath: Yes, but if you only know qbasic you shouldn't start with another extreme [16:54] I've had enough of Lisp with brx's fanatism [16:54] heh [16:54] brx takes everything a little too far [16:55] I think everyone should start with Lisp, then go assembly, then C, then either C++, Perl, or Python. [16:56] Or CLOS in Common LISP. [16:56] THen you should be able to do anything. [16:56] Mizcu: http://poignantguide.net/ruby/ reads very nicely [16:56] I was a little into ruby a long time ago. [16:56] But really, I think Lisp should be more embraced. It is the perfect alnguage. [16:57] Hey, that time the a rushed. Amazing. [16:57] heath: Perfect? [16:57] Fluffy: Yes, perfect. Raw, simple beauty. [16:57] And very easy to create unmaintainable code with [16:57] heath: Then we have different definitions for being a perfect language [16:58] no, everyone should start with assembly.. [16:58] and then move to the other extreme.. [16:58] bvowk: That would scare 99% away [16:59] bah. [16:59] I think a high level language is best to start with, so that concepts can be learned. But a real high level language like lisp. [16:59] if you don't have any idea whats under the hood of a machine, you've got no idea whats really happening.. [16:59] thats the source of almost all the frustration people have when dealing with machines. [16:59] But then a quick turn to assembly should be used. [16:59] I agree. [17:00] How does one open many cans of worms with one move? Declare something to be absolut truth in coding. [17:00] It is so sad that the CS program at Cal Poly start with Java (of all languages) and continues to base the whole program on it throughout. [17:01] Assembly is in the curriculum at a late sophmore, early junior level, I think. And most students are just like: "Huh?". [17:01] heath: They probably want to reduce the body fat of all students [17:02] Fluffy: Reduce body fat? From typing so much? I don't think that has ever worked. [17:02] heath: I didn't state, that it works :) [17:02] :) [17:03] I wrote myself a really simplistic C compiler to make my life easier in the asm programming classes :) [17:03] and? [17:03] Dude, but really. I think the did a severe injustice to the students. Most of them get to be seniors and have no idea how a machine works. They don't even comprehend the idea of memory allocation. [17:03] I mean: Did it work? Did you have less to work? [17:05] heath: Why should they? Or are you talking about CS students? [17:06] Fluffy: Yes, CS students. [17:06] And even while I was there, I could see them trying to transition the program to more of a CIS degree. [17:06] It's depressing. [17:07] I think they removed assembly, and compiler design. And deemphasized formal languages. [17:07] Ephasized stupid courses like software engineering. [17:08] heath: Leave the country immediately :) [17:08] :) [17:09] Does canada have a financial aid program for foreigners? [17:10] dunno [17:10] heath: That's not what you should ask yourself. [17:11] heath: You should ask questions like "Do you have computers?" ... "Does bvowk own a significant percentage of all Canadian computers?" [17:11] *Do they have computers [17:12] Yes, but it boils down to money. I have a wife to look after. Back in the day, I could have probably just lived in a closet, eating potatos. But those days are gone. [17:13] ... most important of all: "Can you still sing 'Blame Canada' after you've seen South Park?" ;-) [17:14] heath: Maybe you should first ask your wife then :) [17:15] She'll move, if we can survive. [17:15] We've been talking about it alot lately, acutally. [17:15] She was interested in Vacouver, I'd imagine she'll go for alberta. [17:17] 0x06C Have you ever taken a Turing test? [17:17] That one is good. [17:18] They should have asked "Did you pass it?", too? [17:18] My score was 0xa0 :-( [17:19] They did, actually they asked if you failed. [17:19] hehe [17:19] CS students might fail ;-) [17:20] Total no sense, high level students, very human [17:21] 0x094 Do you know how to use a Kleene star? [17:21] Uh, it's called a Kleene closure. [17:21] Dar. [17:26] vancouver is an *INSANELY* expensive city to live in.. [17:26] although, you've coming from california.. [17:27] bvowk: What do you mean by expensive? Can you give an example [17:27] Yes, southern california is an almost impossible place to live. [17:28] fluffy: finding a place to live can take almost all your income.. [17:28] I live in the inland empire, too, and it is still almost impossible to afford. [17:28] albertas cost of living is quite a bit lower than BC's [17:28] bvowk: I've meant for example: How much does xxx cost? [17:29] fluffy: ok, a condo like mine (which I paid ~100k for) costs about 600k in downtown vancouver. [17:29] Fluffy: My rent costs $1100 a month. And we live in a fairly ghetto area. As far as ghettoness goes in Redlands. [17:29] USD, that is. [17:30] Yikes.. [17:30] Roy: dito [17:30] * Roy pays around 150k (euro) for a four room buiding [17:30] And maybe 200/250k for a whole house [17:31] your K's are worth more than ours tho :) [17:31] Not that much I think.. [17:31] uh.. [17:31] yeah. [17:32] like 20 some %ish more [17:32] 1 Euro is about 1.25 USD [17:33] MSG: [17:34] Dang, I though I could finish the hack test before having to take aleak. [17:35] I was wrong. Back in a sec. [17:35] heh [17:35] heath: We don't want to know that ;-) [17:35] sounds like heath leaked prematurely. [17:35] mock mock mock [17:37] No, it's just that cold water. Goes right through me. Why do they refridgerate the water? Don't they know it's bad for you. [17:38] heath: Why don't you drink it right from the pipe :) [17:39] heath: why's cold water bad? [17:39] Fluffy: You should never *EVER* drink from tap in california. Especially Redlands. [17:39] I've never understood why the bottle water [17:39] *they [17:39] fiveop: You cant absorb it very well. [17:39] * fiveop goes to the kitchen getting a glass of water :P [17:39] Fluffy: Bottled water is a must here. The water is just not clean. [17:39] glass? [17:40] that's not the correct term, isn't it? [17:40] Sounds ok to me. [17:40] ok [17:40] our water is clean enough [17:40] Can't you just boile tap water..? [17:41] Roy: That won't get rid of the metals. Nor the rocket fuel, I think. [17:41] Roy: Do you do that? [17:41] No, but it kills the bacteria there might be in there [17:42] You could catch the steam and have very clean water though [17:42] Roy: Bacteria? [17:42] Roy: distilled water isn't that healthy [17:43] Well yeah, water contains bacteria, and in some countries (france?) there is a lot of bacteria :( makes you shit-a-lot [17:43] I don't think that there are any bacteria in out tap water. They keep it fairly chlorinated. Thus my suggestion to never drink it. [17:43] s/out/our/ [17:43] hmm [17:43] where do you take your water for cooking from [17:43] Its very safe to drink here (thank god) makes life much easier :) [17:44] yes [17:44] never have to buy something to drink! [17:44] (except milk and orange juice somtiems) [17:44] +e [17:44] You have a beer-tap too? and wine!? :P [17:44] wGo spl 1, 0 [17:44] spl 1, 0 [17:44] spl 1, 0 [17:44] spl 1, 0 [17:44] spl 1, 0 [17:44] spl 1, 0 [17:44] spl 1, 0 [17:44] spl 1, 0 [17:44] spl 1, 0 [17:44] mov.i #0, {0 [17:44] go djn.b >-1 , #257 [17:44] djn.b <-2 , #257 [17:44] n for 262 [17:44] mov.i bomb , {(n*30)+(420-(n*2)) [17:44] rof [17:44] jmp go , <2355 [17:44] bomb dat <1 , }1 [17:44] whoooooooooooooops!

[17:53] LOL [17:53] Hi sf [17:53] So, you need a little bit of magic working [17:53] But he has to be wearing a vine skirt.

[17:55] Because you're here :) [17:55] * Roy hands bvowk a bandage [17:55] bvowk: Because we all love Canadians! [17:56] * Roy giggles at the itching-powder in the bandage [17:56] bvowk: See! Even Roy loves Canadians! [17:56] I don't believe in bandages unless they're there soley to stop blood from spewing forth [17:56] No Fluffy, I'm just tired of rubbing him, now he's going to rub himself ;) [17:57] * Fluffy sighs [17:57] bvowk: But that's the purpose of blood ... to be sprayed around [17:57] bvowk: Just think of the various FPS [17:59] I scored Computer Illiterate :( [17:59] lol [17:59] heath: Score? [18:00] 80.4% Hacker pure? [18:00] 100 out of 510. [18:00] Then you are really a computer illiterate [18:00] heath: I thought you were cool. [18:00] \me hides his face and sobs uncontrollably. [18:00] heath: your score is 0x64 out of 0x1fe [18:01] I even uswed the wrong slash. [18:01] heath: THERE IS THE PROOF! YOU ARE USING WINDOWS! [18:01] * heath runs and hides. [18:01] heath: too late [18:01] No, actually I am using Solaris on this machine. [18:01] * Roy sobs some more and leaves [18:02] MSG: [18:02] * Fluffy waves too late [18:02] Poor heath! [18:02] I think I failed the hacker test mostly because of my youth, though. [18:02] heath: You can always cheat [18:03] That was my next comment: "Or possibly because I was completely honest." [18:03] learn some new languages and acronyms and your score will increase [18:03] I think most people taking that test would answer yes to things that they think would make them look cooler. [18:03] MSG: Quit: humhum [18:14] heath: Apart from measures like 1l is there another common unit in the US for volumes? [18:14] (cubic inch?) [18:15] pint? [18:15] gill? quart? [18:15] lol [18:16] The cord is a unit of dry volume used in Canada and in the United States to measure firewood. [18:16] :) [18:16] Gallon. [18:17] 8 pints = 4 quarts = 1 gallon :) [18:17] hehe ... that all sounds so archaic [18:17] Fluffy: How big of a valume are you intending? [18:17] For small volumese: teaspoon, tablespoom. [18:17] It was just a general question [18:17] I'm just curious [18:18] 1 gill = 1/4 pint [18:19] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_units [18:19] yes, I've already found it [18:20] And what about SI units in general? Are they totally uncommon? [18:21] Fluffy: Only used in science class. [18:21] I don't think they are used anywhere else. [18:22] We even switched between SI and imperial in one of my calculus classes. That was funcky. [18:22] hehe ... it is hard to imagine that [18:24] I like such "tiny" cutural differences :) [18:36] bvowk: Current temperature in your room? [18:36] :) [18:53] Lunch time. [18:53] Time for supper!
