L1[00:00:18] <Scolar_Visari> For instance: Hagakure roughly translates into "in the shadow of the leaves". I'm not sure what to make of the fact that there's actually a single word for that one thing, other than the possibility that Japanese children really like playing in piles of raked up leaves?
L2[00:01:02] <taniwha> it's not really one word
L3[00:01:39] <Scolar_Visari> taniwha: It is in English!
L4[00:01:57] <Althego> hehe
L5[00:02:13] <Scolar_Visari> English is the Borg of languages, if you will.
L6[00:02:39] <taniwha> ha is leaf, kure probably has something to do with shadow, and ga is the old form of the possessive "no"
L7[00:02:41] <Scolar_Visari> It will adapt your cultural and biological distinctiveness to its own collective of horrendously abused loan words.

L12[00:03:32] <GlassYuri|School> so noun + verb stem like so many other difficult to translate terms
L13[00:03:47] * Scolar_Visari still ponders how butchered the more familiar Greek term, "hubris" has become.
L14[00:03:49] <taniwha> ah, close. ha is leaf as I said, but gakure is from kakureru
L15[00:03:55] <taniwha> ie, to darken
L16[00:04:15] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: Soon to launch in 2018?
L17[00:04:36] <taniwha> anyway, leafy shadows works well :P

L36[00:08:53] <tawny> flo, it didn't launch, it got pushed to the backup launch window friday at 8 EST
L37[00:09:08] <GlassYuri|School> taniwha: sure would be interesting to do, but I feel like learning mandarin instead would be more useful
L38[00:09:12] <tawny> which I think is like 1 UTC on saturday
L39[00:09:21] <Scolar_Visari> GlassYuri: Esperanto is the future!
L40[00:09:22] <Althego> esperanto? no, wee need some universal binary languageú
L41[00:09:45] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: That'd be far too irritating. I'm not sure I could stand to communicate with chirping.
L42[00:10:30] <Althego> hehe
L43[00:10:37] <Althego> slow it down
L44[00:10:43] <Althego> then it is not chirping anymore
L45[00:10:45] <GlassYuri|School> Scolar_Visari: honestly esperanto has been superseded by emoji
L46[00:10:49] <Scolar_Visari> Unless you're really just wanting people to literally say, "one zero one zero etc).
L47[00:10:56] <Althego> information content of human speach is only a few bits per second
L48[00:11:12] <Scolar_Visari> GlassYuri: In no language is the poop emoji going to supersede speech.
L49[00:11:20] <taniwha> GlassYuri|School: unless you use Japanese materials, it won't push your Japanese
L50[00:11:42] <taniwha> (but using Japanese materials is likely to ruin any chance of making yourself understood in China)
L51[00:11:43] <Scolar_Visari> Besides, poop emoji's not really a universal spoken word.
L52[00:11:49] <Althego> hehe
L53[00:12:07] <Scolar_Visari> "Hey, poop emoji facepalm!" "Yeah, poop emoji, man!"
L54[00:12:21] <Althego> dont worry, people already talk like this online
L55[00:12:32] <Scolar_Visari> I'll have you know I NEVER use emojis.
L56[00:12:45] <Scolar_Visari> Such ruffian behavior is unbecoming a poorly programmed IRC bot.
L57[00:12:49] <oren> esperanto is a terrible prototype for an international language
L58[00:13:01] <Scolar_Visari> oren: It was either that or interpretive dance.
L59[00:13:18] <GlassYuri|School> taniwha: yeah but I'd rather speak okay japanese and bad chinese than being able to talk japanese with people who died 600 years ago
L60[00:13:21] <Althego> does interpretive dance exist? i always hear it as a joke
L61[00:13:22] <oren> http://jbr.me.uk/ranto/ see here
L62[00:13:53] <taniwha> GlassYuri|School: don't worry, you would not be able to speak with Japanese people who died 600 years ago
L63[00:14:00] <oren> this guy wrote a detailed explanation as to the many many flaws of esperanto
L64[00:14:12] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: Yes, it is a thing. They, rather amusingly, had it featured during one of the more recent Academy Awards as an accompaniment to the best original score category.

L129[00:19:48] <Althego> it doesnt
L130[00:19:54] <Althego> i used mirc for liek 10 years
L131[00:19:54] <Scolar_Visari> IRC is painfully, woefully quaint. Its retention for internet communication is akin to using semaphores in lieu of telephones.

L154[00:22:22] <technicalfool> IRC's simplicity helps. You can practically run a client on a pocket calculator and a server on not much more.
L155[00:22:40] <flo> technicalfool: another use case, i run a webradio since ~20yrs. our main control channel is IRC, via a bot
L156[00:22:53] <Althego> icq died, msn died, facebook will die too, irc survived all

L176[00:24:59] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: Most of Reddit is a morass of pain and hatred.
L177[00:25:04] <flo> would she commit instant suicide?

L208[00:35:31] <schnobs> Mods have learned to nip it in the bud. I wonder how *that* happened?
L209[00:35:32] <flo> (but yes, thats true)
L210[00:35:33] <Scolar_Visari> To be frank, the rules here are probably not as heavily enforced as they are on the forums, but they have been enforced in the case of clear violations.
L211[00:35:34] <taniwha> also old enough you should know that button pushing is not the wisest course of action
L212[00:37:15] <flo> one thing that occurs to me - which made me wonder (i can assure you i am a sane, grown up being) is the fact that of all places on IRC where i'm in, this is the ONLY one that requires me to act differently to adhere to rules. where as a lot of other places do have rules, i have never encountered a rule set that is actually acted to in a way you do
L213[00:37:38] <flo> now while this is hard to me to differentiate at times, i DO totally understand the necessity for the rules.
L214[00:37:45] <flo> ....ehm. sorry.
L215[00:38:58] <technicalfool> Mostly because that's how Squad like it and it's the only IRC channel linked directly from the forum front page.

L288[00:49:28] <Althego> let me tell you what i have found
L289[00:49:32] <Althego> on dreadnought discord
L290[00:49:37] <Scolar_Visari> I liked it, up until people started using it for multiple paragraphs and flooding the channel like the Yellow River.
L291[00:49:37] <Althego> there is a command for race
L292[00:49:40] <Althego> people can join a race
L293[00:49:49] <Althego> each are assigned an animal face emoji
L294[00:49:57] <Althego> and then the bot animates a little race amog the animal faces
L295[00:50:01] <Althego> with random rsults
L296[00:50:01] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: Like race as in Elves and Dwarves or race as in speedways and street circuits?
L297[00:50:27] <Althego> the symbols move from left to tight, and since discord can delete previous messages, it overwrites the previous frame with the new one
L298[00:50:29] <Scolar_Visari> Oh, well that's a lot less interesting than racing dreadnoughts.
L299[00:50:41] <Gasher[work]> like rabbit and tortoise i suppose
L300[00:51:23] <Scolar_Visari> "Here comes the HMS Hood passing Bismarck on the third turn, but boy oh boy are they going to have a tough time catching up with the Iowa!"
L301[00:51:32] <Althego> it is so annoying that this activity was banned from offtopic to its own channel
L302[00:52:11] <Althego> also in the game dreadnoughts have warp capability, so they can be really fast if fitted so
L303[00:52:14] <Scolar_Visari> Alright, a dreadnought racing simulator needs to exist now.
L304[00:53:00] <Scolar_Visari> This is the game mode World of Tanks and World of Warships really needed.
L305[00:53:17] <flo> i cannot stop thinking 'st:voy'

L313[00:54:33] <Althego> anything but
L314[00:54:37] <flo> oh good lord Gasher[work]
L315[00:54:41] <Scolar_Visari> Dreadnought is a term which primarily refers to ships constructed in the style of the HMS Dreadnought, a vessel which was primarily known for depending on a series of turret mounted heavy guns sharing the same caliber, rather than a variety of different calibers, greatly improving the ability to measure the fall of shot.
L316[00:54:49] <flo> i just had to swallow a really bad joke THAT hard it made me cough up
L317[00:55:03] <Scolar_Visari> I'm not entirely sure why they named a missile Dreadnought.
L318[00:55:21] <Supernovy> Dreddnaught
L319[00:55:36] <Scolar_Visari> Occasionally spelt Dreadnaught by ragamuffins.
L320[00:55:37] <Gasher[work]> Scolar_Visari, they named a ship cannon and a series of assault rifles the same name here
L321[00:55:54] <Gasher[work]> Supernovy, Dreadnaughty
L322[00:55:58] <flo> Scolar_Visari: null scheu
L323[00:56:04] <Scolar_Visari> Gasher: Unless the assault rifles have several guns, that's not terribly dreadful.
L324[00:56:05] <flo> would be a valid translation of dreadnought
L325[00:56:15] <Supernovy> Dead-not
L326[00:56:28] <taniwha> dread nothing
L327[00:56:29] <Gasher[work]> Scolar_Visari, Ak-100
L328[00:56:30] * Scolar_Visari notes battleship is a more appropriate generic term for what most people classify as dreadnoughts.
L329[00:56:39] <flo> yea, not feared or scared of anything
L330[00:56:43] <flo> not 'scheu'
L331[00:56:48] <flo> dread: nought
L332[00:56:54] <flo> to me the name makes sense
L333[00:57:01] <taniwha> same, always did
L334[00:57:04] <Althego> despite the title, the game features several other ship classes
L335[00:57:05] <Supernovy> I've lately used dreadnought to refer to an all-big-guns capital ship.
L336[00:57:10] * Scolar_Visari also wishes science-fiction franchises would simply quit with the pretense of applying modern combat into space and start using age of sail terminology.
L337[00:57:10] <taniwha> (particularly once I saw the spelling)
L338[00:57:26] <Scolar_Visari> Supernovy: Post-dreadnought is the more correct technical term, though it too fell out of use by the 30's.
L339[00:57:35] <Gasher[work]> Scolar_Visari, like Battlefleet Gothic
L340[00:57:35] <flo> Scolar_Visari: like they did for some of the TNG episodes and ST movies? :)
L341[00:57:37] <Althego> we didnt even reach the level of ocean sailing in space
L342[00:57:52] <Gasher[work]> well there are solar sails
L343[00:57:56] <Althego> it is like we have some small handmade paper boats
L344[00:58:02] <Althego> and they often sink
L345[00:58:05] <Scolar_Visari> Gasher: Battlefleet Gothic, amusingly, does not. The closest thing to Imperial ships of the line would be the Lunar-class *cruiser*!
L346[00:58:09] <Althego> even before leaving the shore
L347[00:58:16] <Gasher[work]> Scolar_Visari, what
L348[00:58:22] <Scolar_Visari> Eldar ships also follow battleship/cruiser/destroyer/frigate naming schemes.
L349[00:58:25] <Gasher[work]> have you ever read its manual?
L350[00:58:37] <Scolar_Visari> Gasher: Yes, I have the manual, age of sail terminology is lacking for ship classes.
L351[00:58:41] <Supernovy> Well the problem with that is sometimes there's other things you need to screen
L352[00:58:54] * Scolar_Visari also has the spiffy Armada expansion somewhere.
L353[00:59:02] <flo> also sometimes you just need more screens
L354[00:59:46] <GlassYuri|School> Althego: kancolle is not dead, although I myself haven't played recently myself
L355[00:59:53] <Scolar_Visari> Gasher: Battlefleet Gothic always felt like it would've done better using the weird classes brought about between the Ironclad and HMS Dreadnought era.
L356[01:00:03] <Gasher[work]> i disagree
L357[01:00:04] <Supernovy> space torpedo boats require space torpedo boat destroyers and so on
L358[01:00:12] <Scolar_Visari> Particularly since ramming is an acceptable tactic for Imperial ships and they like having torpedoes.
L359[01:00:18] <Gasher[work]> hm
L360[01:00:27] <Scolar_Visari> Supernovy: Protected cruisers protected by bunkers of space coal.
L361[01:00:31] <Gasher[work]> lol
L362[01:00:41] <Supernovy> Armoured Cruisers are underrated
L363[01:00:46] <Gasher[work]> but protected cruisers were like armored but in weird places
L364[01:01:11] <GlassYuri|School> I wish webchat nick coloring had more than blue users, green users and red-ish users
L365[01:01:15] <Scolar_Visari> Gasher: Their primary protection being their coal bunkers, hence the term protected rather than reasonably well armored.
L366[01:01:15] <Supernovy> after six or seven layers of screens, you finally get to the one ship that can actually deal damage.
L367[01:01:53] <Gasher[work]> Scolar_Visari, wait, wasn't the name because they had only certain areas protected by armor?

L369[01:02:04] <Supernovy> Unfortunately space ship fuel tends to be explosive rather than shell-absorbive
L370[01:02:06] <Scolar_Visari> Cruisers in general are an odd, nebulous bunch, occasionally consisting of armed merchant vessels.
L371[01:02:16] <GlassYuri|School> Gasher[work], Supernovy and Althego are team blue, flo and taniwha are red/purple ish, and Scolar_Visari is going solo in green

L373[01:02:32] <Gasher[work]> and even ships with sails
L374[01:02:35] <Supernovy> Every ship has only certain areas protected by armour. Eventually.
L375[01:02:42] <Supernovy> And police cars.
L376[01:02:59] <Scolar_Visari> Supernovy: Nope, protected being a reference to the tactical coal bunker placement. Cruisers in general did not get much attention to armor, ironically, until the rise of World War I battlecruisers.
L377[01:03:18] <Scolar_Visari> Even battleships didn't get full armor, but depended on armored "belts".
L378[01:03:33] <Supernovy> "All or Nothing"
L379[01:03:44] <Scolar_Visari> Plunging shot, of course, cared little for the armored belts.
L380[01:04:04] <Gasher[work]> hm, protected seemed to have armored deck
L381[01:04:24] <Scolar_Visari> But armor was only *one* part of protection. Voids in the hull, torpedo netting and clever compartmentalization were just as important.
L382[01:04:36] <Gasher[work]> coal bunkers were present on like, any ship then so its weird to say that they protected only one class
L383[01:04:44] <Gasher[work]> yeah
L384[01:05:32] <Scolar_Visari> Placement was key.
L385[01:05:55] <Gasher[work]> i recall those memoirs from russo-japanese war - the description of mending a breach during the combat is very graphic
L386[01:07:09] <Scolar_Visari> It was typically desirable to have a plunging shot break through the decks and detonate the magazine.
L387[01:07:34] <Scolar_Visari> Sinking big ships takes a lot of time.
L388[01:09:04] <Scolar_Visari> Though in the case of the Russo-Japanese War, even primitive torpedos and mines could sink a ship quick.
L389[01:09:25] <Supernovy> because it turns out there's a lot of explosives in the magazine

L391[01:10:49] <Gasher[work]> Scolar_Visari, yeah that's how we lost in that war - with faulty munitions of that type. Japanese approach to explosions proved to be more effective - but only i'd say because of lack of understanding of protection
L392[01:11:01] <Scolar_Visari> Supernovy: It's because they're filled with teen gossip magazines.

L394[01:11:21] <Gasher[work]> that's combustible stuff, not explosive
L395[01:11:35] <Scolar_Visari> I dunno, they can have some explosive articles from time to time.
L396[01:11:42] <GlassYuri|School> Scolar_Visari: another weapon that is weirdly missing from the geneva conventions
L397[01:12:53] <Gasher[work]> GlassYuri|School, i think it includes usage of toxic stuff
L398[01:12:53] <Scolar_Visari> Gasher: I do recall the later Yamato having problems with damage control.
L399[01:13:17] <Mathuin> So what's the sweet spot for cruising altitudes with Whiplash engines?
L400[01:13:27] <Gasher[work]> Scolar_Visari, it's easy to have such problems with that scale of aerial attacks lol.

L403[01:14:11] <Scolar_Visari> Gasher: The IJN seemed to have issues with damage control in general. Something along the lines of not flooding compartments when it was most prudent and designing them to make flooding more severe.
L404[01:14:34] <Scolar_Visari> They were not . . . very well prepared for a war in general.
L405[01:14:43] <Gasher[work]> ah right
L406[01:14:50] <Gasher[work]> the bonfires of Midway
L407[01:15:05] <Scolar_Visari> Or, for a better example: The Marianas Turkey Shoot.
L408[01:15:24] <Gasher[work]> no, losing four carriers to fires is a better examples
L409[01:15:28] <Gasher[work]> * example
L410[01:16:15] <Scolar_Visari> For the loss of 123 aircraft and no surface vessels sunk, the USN eliminated 3 fleet carriers and over 600 aircraft.
L411[01:17:05] <Gasher[work]> in midway case - loss of experienced aircrews
L412[01:17:06] <Scolar_Visari> In retrospect, putting nonfunctional radios in the A6M was a bad idea.
L413[01:17:20] <Gasher[work]> what
L414[01:17:27] <Gasher[work]> i thought they removed those completely
L415[01:17:37] <Gasher[work]> at least at the beginning of the war
L416[01:17:38] <Scolar_Visari> They did, but because they were effectively nonfunctional.
L417[01:17:44] <Scolar_Visari> Pilots thew them out themselves.
L418[01:18:15] <Scolar_Visari> Though I suppose the radio direction finding suite was still of some use.
L419[01:18:42] <Gasher[work]> local practice was supplying such a kit to flight leaders
L420[01:19:06] <Scolar_Visari> That's not really a great idea in practice.

L423[01:20:09] <Scolar_Visari> Dogfighting really benefits from communication during combat, and it does one little good if only one person has a radio (that they probably threw out) and must communicate to the others with semaphores and hand signals.
L424[01:20:36] <Gasher[work]> damn, it's the practical solution to the general problem of scarcity
L425[01:20:40] <Scolar_Visari> For further information: See early model T-34s being led into combat with semaphores.
L426[01:21:36] <GlassYuri|School> Scolar_Visari: how do you communicate by wave your arms during combat, particularily air combat
L427[01:21:46] <Scolar_Visari> GlassYuri: That's the thing: You don't.
L428[01:21:54] <Gasher[work]> you can communicate that way during flight
L429[01:22:18] <technicalfool> with nerves of steel.
L430[01:22:31] <technicalfool> (and possibly brains of jelly)
L431[01:23:17] <Scolar_Visari> Though German tank commanders typically sat with the hatch open, this was typically for the benefit of improving situational awareness. Waving semaphores around eliminates that improvement, as well as makes you a tempting target for machine guns. It should go without saying that trying to wave flags around during an artillery strike is suicide.

L435[01:24:01] <Scolar_Visari> Though Germany was, despite its many technological shortcomings during the war, adamant to put a radio in every tank after the Pzkpfw I and made sure they had a dedicated radio operator.
L436[01:24:14] <GlassYuri|School> Scolar_Visari: I suppose you could mount flags on the rear of a turret and operate them from inside
L437[01:24:18] <Scolar_Visari> Even captured tanks had allowances for radios.
L438[01:25:02] <Scolar_Visari> GlassYuri: That'd also advertise the tank the enemies need to shoot! It'd be like an officer grabbing a neon sign and advertising his rank to snipers!
L439[01:25:29] <Scolar_Visari> "HEY! HEY! HITLER! YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU! I'M OVER HERE!"
L440[01:25:33] <GlassYuri|School> I mean that would mean you could only transmit rearwards but at least they'd see you saying "oh crap" shortly before the explosion of equal meaning
L441[01:25:52] <Scolar_Visari> Visibility tended to get really bad in actual tank combat too.
L442[01:26:02] <GlassYuri|School> Scolar_Visari: if your enemies are to the rear of your tank you already have issues anyway
L443[01:26:03] <Scolar_Visari> Particularly if you're buttoned up.
L444[01:26:27] <Gasher[work]> Scolar_Visari, soviet union though decided to churn more tanks
L445[01:26:49] <Scolar_Visari> First gen T-34s had little in the way of periscopes, and the forward opening hatches, despite doubling as effective shields against small arms fire, also obscured vision.
L446[01:27:22] <Scolar_Visari> And it should be mentioned that the commander was also the loader or gunner!
L447[01:27:24] <Gasher[work]> GlassYuri|School, so mechanical semaphore on a tank? That's sort of neat idea
L448[01:28:14] <Scolar_Visari> Between loading shells, commanding the tank and calling out targets, they would not be able to effectively lead a unit of other tanks regardless of whether a radio or semaphore system was in use.
L449[01:28:29] <GlassYuri|School> Gasher[work]: Idk I'm kinda with Scolar_Visari on the viability but it would sure look cool
L450[01:29:00] * Scolar_Visari notes commanding a tank is A LOT more difficult than it is in the Battlefield games.
L451[01:29:38] <Scolar_Visari> Thankfully, the T-34's hull could be modified to accomodate a much larger turret in time.
L452[01:30:07] <Scolar_Visari> Did I also mention the Commander had to stand on ammunition boxes when they used up the first few rounds?

L480[01:43:20] <Scolar_Visari> The original Soviet era tank designs are flawed compared to more modern AFVs, particularly since there's absolutely no other place to put the ammunition other than beneath the occupants!
L481[01:44:23] <Scolar_Visari> An ammunition cookoff in a Leopard II, for example, might lead to a mission kill but an otherwise living crew and maybe a still operational albeit ammo depleted tank. An ammunition cookoff in a T-90's going to kill the crew and destroy the tank.

L488[01:57:57] <Gasher[work]> Mathuin, you can try to see it for yourself with a simple rocket - just note your altitude when passing 1/2 and 3/4 and 19/20 of atmosphere

L860[19:13:53] <Monty> Running OSX and the textures of all UI elements in the cockpit are both very low-resolution and blurry, i.e. navball. They don't seem to care about the quarter/half/full texture resolution settings. What controls them?
L861[19:15:52] <UmbralRaptor> Could be a GPU setting for texture res
L862[19:16:16] <Monty> Textures do what the program tells them everywhere else.

L865[19:24:05] <Monty> ...okay, that's weird. Setting the navball texture size to 150% makes it look perfect in the cockpit, and, of course, 150% too large everywhere else..

L867[19:36:27] <Monty> Messing with the navball scale and UI scale fixed it. Not because of anything I did, though. It's like it picked a weird size, and attempting any change at all forced it to recalculate.
L868[19:36:43] <Monty> I reset them all back to default and their textures remained unfuzzy. Strange.

L870[19:40:40] <Monty> OK, there it is. Reducing textures to quarter-res makes them fuzzy again, but improving to full res LEAVES THEM at quarter-res. Weird.
L871[19:43:25] <UmbralRaptor> o_O
L872[19:44:19] <UmbralRaptor> That's definitely weird, but glad you found a solution. I wonder if it's reprodceable on other systems.
L873[19:45:08] <Monty> Found a similar thread, seems to be an OSX thing. What I want to know is, are quarter-res textures illegible in the cockpit or everyone, or is that ALSO an OSX thing?
L874[19:45:21] <Monty> or everyone/for everyone
L875[19:45:39] <UmbralRaptor> They've been illegible for me on Windows.
L876[19:46:02] <Monty> Thanks.
