L5[00:54:54] <FLHerne> 30,000 of the 100G dishes should work
L6[00:54:58] <FLHerne> oh
L7[00:55:07] <FLHerne> 5x bigger helps a lot more than 5x

L11[01:00:46] <FLHerne> yeah, my first number was way too big
L12[01:01:39] <FLHerne> if I got it right this time, you need 36 500G antennae

L65[13:39:00] <raptop> pepperoni + pineapple is a good combination
L66[13:40:13] <SporkWitch> i smell bait, even though i agree :P
L67[13:40:52] <raptop> heh
L68[13:41:38] <Althego> which is the more vicious war? the pizza on pineapple or the tabs vs spaces?
L69[13:42:05] <Althego> hehe i meant pineapple on pizza
L70[13:42:21] <SporkWitch> i suspect tabs vs spaces, because there's actually consequences in that one, whereas the pizza argument boils down to "order and eat what you like"
L71[13:42:35] <SporkWitch> (PS: the answer is "spaces")
L72[13:48:33] <Mat2ch> The tabs vs. spaces is easily answered. Tabs. Because you can select your own tab width. There are people out there who have bad vision and use a huge font, they put tab width to 1. Everyone else can adjust it to their needs.
L73[13:48:51] <Mat2ch> So if you want to be a decent person, use tabs. ;)
L74[13:48:54] <SporkWitch> which breaks alignment if you don't agree on tab width with the other person
L75[13:49:01] <Althego> it doesnt
L76[13:49:05] <Althego> because you only use tabs
L77[13:49:13] <Althego> the mixed tabs people
L78[13:49:15] <Althego> those should burn
L79[13:49:40] <Izaya> single space
L80[13:49:44] <SporkWitch> then you can't achieve alignment while also obeying line width standards
L81[13:50:05] <Mat2ch> line width standards are meant to be broken.
L82[13:50:21] <Althego> i have a screen with about 400 characters width. enforced line width is stupid
L83[13:50:22] <SporkWitch> they exist for several good reasons, not least of which is readability
L84[13:50:32] <Mat2ch> those come from a time when displays were a lot smaller. Even Linus Torvalds started to admit this.
L85[13:50:46] <SporkWitch> granted that's one of the reasons, but it's not the only one
L86[13:52:11] <SporkWitch> regardless, you can't achieve alignment with ONLY tabs, without adding a LOT of unnecessary whitepspace. Standard example would be aligning items in an array, where you only need one or two extra spaces to achieve alignment. If you're using all spaces, no issues, but if you use tabs and then spaces for the extra needed, it breaks if someone uses a different tab width
L87[13:52:32] <Mat2ch> yes, you should make breaks in a very long line. But enforcing a hard limit doesn't make it more readable. That's why we should use our common sense :D
L88[13:52:34] <SporkWitch> even the tab advocates typically acknowledge this
L89[13:52:54] <Althego> and that is the only drawback of t he tabs
L90[13:52:57] <SporkWitch> (I want it on record that althego started this :P)
L91[13:53:12] <Althego> very rare case
L92[13:53:16] <Mat2ch> Then do the align thing in a way it doesn't matter ;)
L93[13:53:23] <Althego> but you are stuck with preformatetd lines with all lines if you use spaces
L94[13:53:27] <Althego> huge drawback
L95[13:53:29] <SporkWitch> whereas spaces have no drawback, since any decent editor will sub in a number of spaces equal to your tab width when hitting tab
L96[13:53:50] <SporkWitch> how's it a drawback? it's well-formatted and stays that way lol
L97[13:54:05] <Althego> no, it is fromatted as one person thought it was
L98[13:54:10] <Izaya> ngl friendos if your editor can't ingest any number of tabs or spaces and reformat it to show as you wish maybe your editor is the problem, not the characters themselves
L99[13:54:10] <Althego> cant adjust to your preference
L100[13:54:32] <Althego> you want this to turn into an emacs vs vi or what?
L101[13:54:39] <Izaya> >:D
L102[13:54:42] <SporkWitch> Izaya: people have been trying for proper elastic tabs for decades, without success
L103[13:55:00] <raptop> If I get asked this question in an interview, I'm saying "what the design doc says"
L104[13:55:14] <SporkWitch> come on althego, that's not even an argument, we're talking about text editing, and emacs is still missing a decent text editor :P
L105[13:55:19] <Izaya> "what does the codebase use?"
L106[13:55:46] <SporkWitch> well yeah, if you're joining a project that already exists, you obey the conventions of the existing codebase; that goes without saying, even when the existing codebase is doing it wrong :P
L107[13:56:11] <Izaya> and when you start your own project you do what's natural and don't think about it and then everyone else can eat your bad decisions
L108[13:56:19] <Althego> i have been trying to eliminate mixed tabs and spaces (half tabs thing, really stupid) for a while, but cant, because omg, it will change every line
L109[13:56:21] <Izaya> truly wonderful
L110[13:56:31] <SporkWitch> hence spaces :)
L111[13:56:31] <Mat2ch> how about we program in visual boxes and not in lines? :D
L112[13:56:41] <Althego> lol the worst idea ever
L113[13:56:42] <Izaya> I'll do you one better:
L114[13:56:45] <Izaya> we start writing in forth
L115[13:56:54] <Mat2ch> I thought whitespace, but ok.
L116[13:57:08] <SporkWitch> Mat2ch: ever used early 2000's Visual Basic? that's basically what it is... it's practically lego mindstorms it's so dumb and limited
L117[13:57:30] <SporkWitch> Izaya: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck
L118[13:57:58] <Althego> verbal morality statute, etc
L119[13:58:11] <Althego> cant get much worse than malbolg
L120[13:58:22] <Althego> optimized for uselessness
L121[13:58:26] <SporkWitch> i figured since it's literally the proper title of the language it would be acceptable in context.
L122[13:58:51] <SporkWitch> not like i'm going around cussing, literally was bringing up a specific esoteric language lol
L123[13:58:54] <Althego> at that pont whether bf or whitespace, doesnt really matter
L124[14:01:28] <SporkWitch> probably not an original idea, but i'm not picturing someone writing a bunch of C, with a whitespace program hidden inside it... lol might be a little tricky since LFs are used, too, not just tab and space....
L125[14:01:33] <SporkWitch> *now picturing
L126[14:03:05] <Althego> so when is 2 coming?
L127[14:03:12] <Althego> and how?
L128[14:03:17] <Althego> that early access is it steam?
L129[14:03:37] <SporkWitch> February 24th still, Steam for sure, and I assume direct from the devs as well
L130[14:03:52] <Althego> that would be good, then i can try it too
L131[14:04:29] <Althego> https://store.privatedivision.com/game/kerbal-space-program-2
L132[14:04:31] <SporkWitch> given that they forced that new launcher on us even on Steam for KSP, I think it's a safe assumption.
L133[14:04:36] <Althego> steam epic and direct download
L134[14:04:55] <Izaya> launcher isn't there on linux :)
L135[14:05:16] <Althego> i have used the launcher the first few weeks lol
L136[14:05:23] <Althego> and never agian
L137[14:05:33] <Althego> 1 because it never updated 2 because you dont need it
L138[14:05:35] <SporkWitch> had a few that i couldn't get working in WINE, and I couldn't get usable performance from a Windows VM even sitting at the desktop (I really think microsoft did something to kill windows vm performance on non-windows hosts)
L139[14:05:49] <SporkWitch> left me stuck on windows until i get bored of / stop playing the ones i can't get working on linux
L140[14:06:11] <Althego> actually ms and linux made a lot of vm related interworking improvements to my knowledge
L141[14:06:18] <Althego> in both directions
L142[14:06:20] <Izaya> I'm just happy that I get to smug at windows users over KSP again
L143[14:06:26] * Izaya smugs in stable 64-bit build
L144[14:06:34] <Althego> hehe
L145[14:06:44] <Althego> remember when it was basically 32 bit only?
L146[14:06:54] <SporkWitch> i just have no other way to explain the performance issues i was encountering, especially with the resources I was throwing at it. I'd never had issues with qemu-kvm in the past
L147[14:06:57] <Althego> i would be surprised if there was a 32 bit version this time
L148[14:07:00] <Izaya> no, I've never run a 32-bit build of KSP :^)
L149[14:07:10] <Izaya> oh, unless you mean computers in general
L150[14:07:28] <Althego> i meant ksp
L151[14:07:29] <SporkWitch> literally even just startup and sitting at the desktop, it was like a slideshow
L152[14:07:49] <Izaya> SporkWitch: well you should be running it in Hyper-V you see
L153[14:07:54] <Izaya> ESXI if you must
L154[14:08:03] <SporkWitch> Izaya: so windows host OS lol
L155[14:08:28] <SporkWitch> thus defeating the whole point of using a windows VM only for those things that won't work in linux
L156[14:09:17] <Izaya> Why would you ever want to use Linux?
L157[14:09:21] <Izaya> WSL2? Never heard of it.
L158[14:09:48] <SporkWitch> why would you ever want to use windows?
L159[14:09:57] <Althego> because it is the best game launcher
L160[14:10:01] <Althego> and that is why i use it
L161[14:10:07] <Althego> for everything else i ssh to linux :)
L162[14:10:23] <SporkWitch> i'd rather run the windows VM for the three games that don't behave in linux lol
L163[14:10:37] <Izaya> you wanna know today's fun windows-related weirdness?
L164[14:10:52] <Izaya> game wouldn't launch until I killed the edge updater exe that didn't work properly in WINE
L165[14:10:53] <SporkWitch> literally DCS, Star Citizen, and SWG are the only things I can't get behaving in linux, and SC pisses me off because they promised native linux support :'(
L166[14:11:24] <Izaya> they also promised a workable game before 2100 sooooooo
L167[14:11:59] <Izaya> sorry I'm being an antagonistic ... unpleasant individual it's late and I'm mildly intoxicated I'm gonna go
L168[14:12:07] <SporkWitch> they'd had a full gameplay loop for a few years now; don't beat the memes to death, it's tiring when there are legitimate rather than exaggerated criticisms for them
L169[14:13:09] <Althego> star citizen is the ftx of gaming :)
L170[14:13:38] <SporkWitch> like i said, tiring, because there are legitimate things to criticise, they're just never what people bring up
L171[14:14:41] <SporkWitch> also, while I could see their higher-ups donating to the DNC, like FTX did, it's still not relevant to any of the legitimate criticisms for the game
L172[14:15:28] * Izaya goes to look up which one that is
L173[14:16:27] <SporkWitch> FTX was the crypto scam that was in a mutual-gain situation of donations and promotion/protection with the DNC, which is why it took so long for anything to be done about it, and even longer before the boss was arrested and charged
L174[14:16:58] <Izaya> no I heard about FTX, but I don't remember which one the D in DNC is
L175[14:17:06] <SporkWitch> Democratic National Convention
L176[14:17:08] <Izaya> yee
L177[14:17:39] <Izaya> but I can never remember which one stands for what and who they put forward as candidates and such
L178[14:17:58] <SporkWitch> I'll take it to DMs so as not to derail too much here
L179[14:18:00] <Izaya> not really relevant to my own life, y'know?
