[06:39] in that case, my conclusion is: programs that use more cycles will compete more poorly against CPScanner than those that use less. [09:02] Join: fiveop joined #corewars [11:35] not really [11:36] because the lenght of match is dependant on the relation between starting-positions and the pattern of bombing [11:36] and besides, a scanner consists of 3 or 4 loops, hitting any of the loops can be lethal, but it doesnt mean that the particular loop is running at the moment [16:09] Join: Fizmo joined #corewars [17:10] Join: impomatic joined #corewars [17:10] Hi :-) [17:13] ohh, hi [17:14] so deeply inside programming [17:14] my evolver becomes better and better [17:16] got already the first evo-paper [17:23] :-) [17:24] Have you had chance to submit anything to Terry Newton's hill yet? [18:12] I submited two times [18:12] but just from the early stage [18:13] I have already much stronger warriors evolved [18:19] I think in a week I can publish my evolver [18:28] :-) [18:28] * impomatic has been camping for a few days [18:29] I took a couple of books with me to read, The Recusive Universe and Exploring Forth [18:29] cool [18:29] when you go? [18:53] Norfolk this time :-) [18:54] ohh, I see [19:01] I went on Tuesday, came back today [19:02] :-) [19:03] anyone got an idea what P&O might mean in (dutch) post addresses? [19:03] Join: yoR joined #corewars [19:04] yoR: ! :) [19:04] 21:05:55 < fiveop> anyone got an idea what P&O might mean in (dutch) post addresses? [19:04] Hi yoR [19:05] hiya! [19:06] Hi yoR [19:06] fiveop: In what context? [19:08] http://www.fnds.cs.ru.nl/fndswiki/Vacancies [19:08] at the bottom is an address [19:08] an I'm trying to figure out, whether that means I'm supposed to address it to Mrs Reinders ;) [19:10] looks like care/of or attention/to [19:10] Ah yes, it just means uhhh "Personeel en Organisatie" (staff and organisation) [19:10] So she's responsible for staffing :) [19:10] ok [19:10] staffing? [19:10] the HR department [19:10] Fizmo: Personalabteilung [19:10] Ah yes, HR, thats what I was looking for [19:11] ohh, ok [19:11] if that works I might need to learn dutch :P [19:11] Most Dutch companies use the term Human Resources too, P&O is a bit old fashioned [19:12] * yoR had to google it :-) [19:12] how? [19:12] I looked on nl.wikipedia.org [19:12] You might go to Radboud? [19:12] if they want me [19:13] (which I hope) [19:13] Heh, I googled "P&O adres" [19:13] :-P [19:14] adres is address I suppose? [19:14] Yeah, easy, just leave the extra d's and s'es [19:15] And its pronounced "a - dres" (with a longer a) [19:15] ;) [19:15] The "a" in dutch is a bit different then the english "a" :) [19:16] English "a" sounds the same as "e" in Dutch [19:16] english: address, german: adresse, dutch: adres ... :) [19:16] Dutch : Simple ;-) [19:16] :p [19:16] Small but effective (klein maar fijn) [19:17] Why the Radboud (if I may ask) [19:17] because of the project? [19:18] What project? :) [19:18] 21:11:00 < fiveop> http://www.fnds.cs.ru.nl/fndswiki/Vacancies [19:19] Oops, didn't look at the site other then the contact information hehe [19:19] Ah cool, MathWiki! [19:19] What about radboud? [19:19] or what is there to say about radboud? [19:19] (they've got a frisbee team, which I already checked :P) [19:20] They do? Strange its not a populair sport in Holland... its not even a sport [19:21] Don't know much about the Uni, I do know Wageningen (http://www.wageningenuniversiteit.nl/UK/) they do really cool robotics/computer stuff [19:21] They are like the MIT of Holland ;-) [19:21] what do you mean it's not even a sport? [19:22] Well, its a past-time you do on the beach, nobody here knows its a sport too :) [19:22] when I think of dutch universities, Utrecht is the first that comes to mind [19:22] yoR: apparently there are people :P [19:22] Oh and also Delft, they win the solar-challenge every year [19:23] oh yes [19:23] I know someone from amsterdam, hence I have to know amsterdam university :P [19:23] compare http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_frisbee [19:23] :P [19:24] I almost went to Wageningen to create a field-crop robot, they do a challenge with them every year [19:24] dutch is such a funny language [19:24] But it was a bit too far from home for me at the time (just got my girlfriend, and didn't have a car) [19:24] Its not funny.. :( [19:25] it just looks like someone is trying to make fun of german (and I suppose it might be the otherway around from a dutch speaking standpoint :P) [19:26] it's because words look the some, but are (only slightly) differently used [19:26] etc [19:27] Heh, a bit... what I find funny is Monty Python sketches in which they talk German, but don't really say anything :) do you know the "The Worlds Funniest Joke" ? [19:28] "Funniest Joke in the World", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhmnOpoGAPw [19:30] Hmm weird, this is the same sketch, but better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gpjk_MaCGM [19:31] watching [19:49] Join: sh0ne joined #corewars [19:50] MSG: Client Quit [19:56] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [19:58] Join: johnkw joined #corewars [20:10] sorry, still writing on my evolver, what was that with germans? :-P [20:14] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [20:20] Join: myndzi joined #corewars [20:35] holy shit [20:35] I found a really bad bug in my evolver [20:35] no wonder that I didn't get expected results [20:36] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [20:55] Heh @Fizmo: Those bugs are funny :) [20:56] I found out some time ago my weekend evolver deleted the wrong collection of warriors (so basicly the best 50% was deleted instead of the worst 50%) [20:56] lol [20:56] I hope I haven't such a bug too [20:57] It was a bug with the adressing modes [20:58] funnily after I fixed that the evolution droped significantly down [20:58] seems I must rethink the adressing mode thingy [21:04] ok, time to leave for today [21:04] * Fizmo waves [21:04] MSG: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.9/2009040821] [21:22] MSG: [22:01] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [22:07] Join: johnkw joined #corewars [22:30] MSG: Quit: humhum
