[02:14:08] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "Lamarckism (or Lamarckian inheritance) is the hypothesis that an organism can pass on ... the Origin of Species (1859), Charles Darwin supported the idea of \"use and disuse inheritance\", though rejecting other aspects of Lamarck's theory."

[06:41:27] <exec> 10Tallinn, Harju County, Estonia - currently 60°F / 16°C, mostly cloudy, wind S at 6 mph, humidity 77% - Tuesday mostly cloudy (57°F:70°F / 14°C:21°C), Wednesday scattered showers (54°F:69°F / 12°C:21°C), Thursday partly cloudy (56°F:74°F / 13°C:23°C), Friday mostly sunny (62°F:78°F / 17°C:26°C)
[06:42:47] <boru> Sounds about the same as here.
[06:43:15] <SoyGuest49257> after 3 or 4 weeks of high 20s, this is literally a breath of fresh air
[06:45:53] <boru> Yeah, I've heard you mainlanders have been getting a bit toasty.

[10:28:57] <chromas> Ooh, FreeBSD 12 alpha. But does it have Pale Moon?
[10:35:59] <boru> Yes.
[10:36:05] <boru> Pale Moon is in ports.
[10:47:19] <SoyGuest49257> Does this look uniformly distributed to anyone? http://ratewhisky.org (don't load too many times, it's a crappy old RasPi serving that, and running a non-optimised perl script)
[10:48:04] <chromas> It doesn't look like a circle :)
[10:48:37] <SoyGuest49257> get on the floor, and look up from a shallow angle!
[10:50:01] * chromas gets on the floor, gets schwifty
[10:50:21] <SoyGuest49257> I'm pretty happy with that. I think the maths behind it (a new algorithm I just made up) is pretty solid. I'm not seeing bias.
[11:24:04] <boru> Did you reinvent Bresenham's/midpoint algorithm?
[11:24:44] <boru> Actually, you could probably compute the entire series with a closed form expression, and do either without any loops.
[11:38:47] <SoyGuest49257> it's nothing clever, I was just trying to randomly generate points in the unit circle in constant time, rather than using generate-in-a-square-and-throw-away-ones-outside-the-circle naive algorithm.
[11:39:46] <SoyGuest49257> r=sqrt(rand), a=2pi.rand, x=r.sin(a), y=r.cos(a). That's all.
[11:40:27] <SoyGuest49257> HOwever, I'm so fucking senile, i can't remember what i needed it for now!

[11:48:59] <Bytram> boru++ Bresenham rocks!
[11:48:59] <Bender> karma - boru: 22
[11:49:05] <Bytram> why not
[11:49:11] <Bytram> Bresenham++
[11:49:11] <Bender> karma - bresenham: 1
[11:50:29] <boru> Yeah, it's a neat algorithm. Both he and Sutherland are more or less the grandfathers of computer graphics.
[11:50:46] <boru> More recent honourable mentions, however, are Michael Abrash and John Carmack.
[11:51:39] <boru> Father, rather, not grandfather.
[11:51:43] * boru kldload english.ko
[11:56:36] <Bytram> lol
[11:57:53] <Bytram> yeah, I studdied comp sci when Sutherland was a big name and a 1Kx1K monitor was ultra-high resolution... IOW would not see one for a long time. By comparison, we did most of our course work on IBM 3270 terminals.
[11:58:17] <Bytram> with an occasional VT100 or somesuch when working on a 'minicomputer'
[11:59:44] <boru> Neat!
[12:05:51] <SoyGuest49257> Abrash and Carmack weren't that big on the theoretics, more the implementation
[12:07:33] <Bytram> empirical vs theoretical -- there's a place for each
[12:07:37] <SoyGuest49257> I remember back in the 90s every time i invented a new algorithm that I'd not seen before, I found out a year later that some bastard called Paul Heckbert had invented it a few years earlier.
[12:08:04] <Bytram> ugh. just noticed the time... gotta get ready for work.
[12:08:07] <Bytram> ciao for now!
[12:08:40] <Bytram> SoyGuest49257: sorry to hear that... being the *first* to do, see, discover something is a feeling like no other!
[12:08:49] <Bytram> laters
[12:11:25] <boru> Yeah, independent, but late, discoveries are a bit frustrating.
[12:12:46] <SoyGuest49257> The annoying thing was discovering that it was the same person who'd beaten me to it each time.
