<Strife89> Mother of fuck, Sintel has a 4k render.
<Strife89> Place your bets now: will my best computer be able to play this video?
<Ayen> Is a terrible explosion a possibility? If so, I'd go for that.
<Strife89> Ayen: Probably won't happen literally, but I'm betting on framerates below 1 FPS
<Ayen> I wish programs would show you fractional framerates when under 1
<Strife89> I wish they never had to.
<bildramer> lol
<Ayen> "Hah, you're rendering 1/8th of a frame per second"
<bildramer> I always found ms/f better than f/s
<Strife89> "You fail at hardware rendering FOREVER"
<Strife89> "Go get some new hardware, cheap bastard."
<Ayen> if I were programming something, I'd want to have the framerate counter display something like "Pitifully low" instead of >1
<Strife89> Ayen: For that, you might as well throw in a "umad?" or a trollface.
<Ayen> it'd be best if it was in some ridiculously small and simple program that shouldn't ever go below 100 fps or something.
<Strife89> glxgears, maybe
<Ayen> hah, the messages would rotate. "Are you running this on your Apple II?"
<Ayen> "Windows 95 is a bit out of date, by the way."
<Strife89> *snickers*
<+snacky> being white is awesome. you can easily get adequate vitamin d intake even if you live really far north
<+snacky> and if you need camouflage, you can blend in with snow
<DirtySouth> lol
<DirtySouth> cant say i ever seen someone try that
<+snacky> exactly.
<pawz> i use lilo :") in fact.. my first cat was called Lilo
<pawz> i would take him to the vet and they would be like "Oh, Lilo, from the Disney movie" and i would say "Oi, check his birth date. he was born years before that shitty movie. his name is short for LInux LOader"
<Stranj> And then the vet gave you a shot to calm you down?

Chelsea: My mom just found out that furries exist
Chelsea: Because she SAW some
Chelsea: TWICE
Chelsea: and she keeps asking why I think they're creepy
Maddie: OH GOD
Chelsea: and i dont want to be like
Chelsea: "mom"
Chelsea: "i have to level with you"
Chelsea: "furries don't just enjoy dress up"
Chelsea: but anyway she was like "they were cute! they looked like they were having fun! why are they creepy?"
Chelsea: CAN'T THE MEDIA EXPLAIN THIS FOR ME
Chelsea: THIS MUST BE HOW CONSERVATIVE PARENTS FEEL WHEN THEIR KIDS ASK ABOUT GAY PEOPLE

<tonyb> "With this feature users can set a time that coincides with the time they expect to travel from one location on campus to another. If the caller arrives safely and deactivates their timer, the University Police Department will never receive notification that a timer was ever set. " ahahaha

<tonyb> Well, the police come of course
<nathan> and arrest you for battery?
< guzzles> Powered by our patented "Global Interpreter Lock," the Python Foundation is pleased to announce TrollThreads, Python's latest language feature.
< guzzles> A collaborative effort between The Python Foundation and PyFLTK, TrollThreads ensures that no two routines in your program will ever run simultaneously or exhibit other threadlike behavior.
< guzzles> TrollThreads API should be almost instantly familiar to any developer with experience writing threaded code in other languages, with important added functionality. Namely, that it doesn't actually work.
< guzzles> Should you actually want to take advantage of traditional threading, please use the "subprocess" module and a clusterfuck of IPC or inquire in our IRC channel, where many helpful developers will angrily explain that threads are *obviously not what you REALLY wanted*.
<sXe> so, I was on Omegle today and I met a guy from India
<crosseyes> You don't say.
<sXe> He didn't speak English (go figure) but I asked if he knew any words.
<sXe> He replied with "Autobots, roll out!". No lie.
<LordFrith> If you need floating point math in your script, you need to begin writing in a complete language.
<grawity> Speaking of which. Is it bad when half of my script is bash, the other half is Perl?
<lautriv> grawity, as long as the third half is NOT VB, it's ok.
<grawity> Halves usually come in pairs of two.
<LordFrith> Someone programming in VB might not realize that.
#xkcd, approx. five minutes after a discussion involving quantum mechanics:
(DerpNauce) I love how #xkcd-masturbation is completely empty
(Random832) wait
(Random832) how did you manage to observe a channel in a completely empty state
(ellipsis) aaaand we're back to quantum mechanics, awesome
<fahadsadah> Sounds just like my chemistry gcse practical skills assessment

< nukes> damn, almost beat my best time on minesweeper
< nukes> only to be fucked over by a guess
< nukes> was the last two, and it could have been either
< nukes> nearly beat it by a fair margin as well, 90 seconds on expert
< nukes> compared to 2 mins
< iFarmer> Meh, was never any good at minesweeper
< iFarmer> Only recently found out what the numbers mean
-*- StoneCypher just found out that one of his favorite and one of his least favorite pieces of software are basically made by the same guy :(

<goretext>so when I was in HS, I would hack the wifi with my ipod.
<goretext>the school caught on so they started looking at the ipod names to try and figure it out.
<goretext>every 3 days i would change its name to "(insert popular girls name here)'s iphone"
<goretext> 3 of them were suspended before i stopped
<wedge> oh god, that's funny.
<goretext> it won me class clown.

* tanuki_ wonders idly why HDSLRs don't pull rows from their sensors in a different order
<tanuki_>if we have a 10-line sensor, for instance, instead of pulling 1-2-3-4-5..., we could pull 1-5-10-3-7-2-9-4-8-6 or something
<tanuki_>it seems like that'd get rid of the worst part of rolling shutter: the diagonal wobble
<tanuki_>there'd still be some rolling shutter but it'd be distributed across the entire frame instead of being concentrated at the bottom
<dif>u should write up a technical white paper about this
<dif>instead of typing it on irc where it'll scroll of your audience's screen
<dif>i'll read it. i promise.
<tanuki_>Consider this a very rudimentary form of peer review
<tanuki_>Talking about it on IRC allows for an instant "it won't work because [reason], dumbass"
<tanuki_>instead of the whole months-long writing of the paper and submission to a journal for official peer review...
<tanuki_>just to be told the same damn thing: "are you really that much of a dumbass?"
<cwage>are you really that much of a dumbass?
<tanuki_>Yes. Yes, I am.
