<devyn> I've got Arch running with a Radeon HD 7950
<devyn> no graphics issues
<devyn> am I a god?
<Nuck> devyn: It's Arch, give it a month and X will break and you'll need to start over again
<devyn> lol, you're saying this to the person who has successfully run Arch boxes for years on end
<purr> lol
<Nuck> Oh I have too, don't get me wrong
<Nuck> I love Arch, it's what I use daily
<Nuck> And I have yet to break X
<devyn> there isn't really much to break in my case... xorg, xmonad, compton
<Nuck> I've broken compton so often
<Nuck> Then again, I mod the source of it directly
<Nuck> I've also broken awesomeWM a few times, but once again I mod it directly
<Nuck> ABS makes it too damn easy :3
<vil> Nuck!
<vil> you're a thing!
<Nuck> vil: I'm not often a thing
<Nuck> I'm mostly on Stormbit nowadays, I just noticed devyn in a merge
<vil> so how are things?
<Nuck> Pretty good, exhausted
<Nuck> I'm taking the max 18 credits this semester
<vil> ooh
<vil> my roommate did that first semester last year
<Nuck> 3... 4 programming classes?
<vil> nice
<vil> I don't get any this semester
<vil> just discrete structures
<Nuck> I'm also taking a math course
<Nuck> Math 90
<vil> what is it?
<vil> I'm taking Stats right now
<Nuck> Math 90 is second half of algebra
<vil> oh fun
<Nuck> yeah
<Nuck> My high school only offered first half

<audy> parsimoniously?
<joelteon> guys
<joelteon> do you implement friction on speed or on acceleration
<prophile> the latter
<joelteon> really?
<joelteon> you subtract from acceleration?
<joelteon> so you need to accelerate in the opposite direction?
<joelteon> how do you know when to stop subtracting acceleration?
<joelteon> of course, subtracting a fixed amount from speed every tick is acceleration on its own
<joelteon> so friction and acceleration are just two separate acceleration vectors
<joelteon> and friction is a fixed magnitude, but the inverse angle of the current speed
<prophile> amontons's first law
<prophile> proportional to force
<joelteon> this is a 2D top down type thing
<prophile> so acceleration, by a factor of the mass
<joelteon> mass is fixed
<joelteon> so is friction also a fixed factor?
<joelteon> yeah
<joelteon> F(fric) = µN
<joelteon> and N is a constant
<joelteon> and µ is also a constant
<joelteon> neat
<joelteon> "acceleration" isn't really "acceleration", it's more like "movement force"

<whitequark> joelteon: they're distinct; F=ma
<joelteon> oh
<whitequark> try some introductory text on physics; there's tons of them, right about writing physics engines
<whitequark> I'd recommend you one but when I wrote an engine, I was still mainly reading in russian
<joelteon> hm
<joelteon> i should probably try that
<joelteon> oh man, I think I've got it
<devyn> OH WOW check this out
<devyn> Sauerbraten via emscripten ported to WebGL
<prophile> oh cool

<prophile> if a codebase as horrific as sauerbraten's can work, anything can
<whitequark> oh wow it eats just 180% cpu of my ridiculously overpowered notebook. yeah right let's continue porting shit to js: best idea ever

<vil> ELLIOTTCABLE: dammit now I'm reading this
fwg has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<whitequark> vil: it's good.
<vil> yes, yes it is
<whitequark> also, relatively short.
<vil> which is a problem because I don't have time to be reading it right now
<whitequark> compared to Girl Genius
<whitequark> which is also good.
<vil> have you read Narbonic?
<whitequark> never heard of
<vil> oh god
<vil> so good
<vil> it's about Mad Scientists
<vil> narbonic.com
* whitequark bookmarked
<vil> go with the original, not the director's cut
<vil> the director's cut has spoilers
<vil> worth reading afterwards, though

<cuttle> joelteon: whitequark: can't you represent friction, when you have a constant coefficient and normal force and everything, with just a constant acceleration? so adding to the velocity every tick?
<joelteon> that's what i'm doing right now
<cuttle> yeah I thought that's what you were doing
<cuttle> I just didn't get what whitequark was saying
<alexgordon> sup cuttle
<joelteon> so
<joelteon> i like using keter for autodeploying
<joelteon> i do NOT like using keter for its configuration issues
<joelteon> using nginx and keter is using two reverse proxies
<joelteon> is that bad?
<cuttle> hi alexgordon
<joelteon> I'd like to use nginx and keter but that seems like a lot of proxying
<joelteon> but nginx can redirect http to https and keter can't
<jdhartley> ELLIOTTCABLE: hi
<jdhartley> ELLIOTTCABLE: you mentioned me yesterday sorry I didn't get a chance to respond
