I agree. 21:36 <@sulix> Code + fixing git stuff + preparing for this "talk" on Friday. --- Day changed Wed Mar 26 2014 11:32 <@matches> I am in the super secret room 11:36 <@sulix> Okay, I'll head in shortly. Had a small "parents fell for a scam email and entered passwords on dodgy websites" crisis here this morning. 11:37 <@matches> Oh dear 11:42 <@matches> The phone is ringing :O 11:43 <@matches> Phew, it stopped 22:42 <@matches> I think I have a way to do tests in the Makefile without using cmake 22:42 <@matches> You can alter a variable for a target 23:20 <@matches> Well, that ended badly 23:21 <@matches> With me erasing my own Makefile using make 23:21 <@matches> :P 23:24 <@sulix> Better than erasing the source code, I guess. 23:34 <@matches> This is why we have git --- Day changed Thu Mar 27 2014 00:15 <@sulix> Crazy templated loading and saving! 00:15 <@sulix> And now for bed! 00:30 <@matches> Well 00:30 <@matches> It doesn't break the test 01:22 <@matches> We now have an arbitrary precision float 01:22 <@matches> Where in this case arbitrary precision means I have no idea what the precision is but it is very bad 01:35 <@matches> Ok I think I made a half precision float 01:35 <@matches> They are quite bad 01:36 <@matches> Um, I can probably make a graph of it being terrible as my contribution for Friday 01:36 <@matches> Assuming I've done it right --- Day changed Wed Apr 02 2014 09:41 <@matches> Dammit codejam is coming up again 09:41 <@matches> There goes productivity 09:42 <@matches> If you are not busy this afternoon we should do work 09:42 <@matches> On the project I mean 09:45 <@matches> Although it is tempting to just practice codejam problems for the next week 12:44 <@matches> If I work on the project it will help when the inevitable "64 bits is not enough" problem comes up! 12:45 <@matches> Maybe --- Day changed Sun Apr 06 2014 13:40 <@matches> I get the feeling my part of the project could just be "typedef Real to something from boost" 14:15 <@matches> I suppose I could talk about FPU and hardware --- Day changed Mon Apr 07 2014 21:42 <@matches> I had a horrible horrible thought... implement a FPU in VHDL and then somehow run all our floating point operations on it :P 21:42 <@matches> (This is not a good idea at all but it might be fun) 21:42 <@matches> You know, for some definition of fun 21:44 <@matches> So my lit review will probably be 1) We need higher precision documents because science (Pixels or Perish) 2) This is how FP works in hardware 3) This is how you can get higher precision in software 21:45 <@matches> Oh, and 4) Document formats and rendering them (PDF/PostScript etc) 21:46 <@matches> That is starting to sound suitably ridiculously broad? 21:46 <@matches> Can always cut things out I guess 21:47 <@matches> To reflect what we actually end up doing 22:05 <@sulix> From what Tim was saying, I don't think "too broad" is a possibility. 22:05 <@sulix> We could be talking about Aztec history and it'd probably not be "too broad." 22:05 <@sulix> I do need to remember to read "Pixels of Perish," though. 22:19 <@matches> I'll have a look into VHDL stuff, there seem to be compilers and simulators for linux 22:20 <@matches> For a minute I was afraid I'd have to use the UWA EE VHDL environment 22:20 <@matches> Which is like, running a Java program in a Windows XP VM 22:20 <@matches> I heard you liked simulations of hardware so I simulated some hardware in your simulated hardware --- Day changed Tue Apr 08 2014 10:46 -!- Netsplit arctic.uniirc.com <-> mits.mits.au.uniirc.com, services.uniirc.com, irc.cassa.au.uniirc.com, mussel.ucc.au.uniirc.com quits: @sulix 10:46 -!- Netsplit over, joins: @sulix 11:31 <@matches> The "Experiment Running" sign seems to have worked 11:31 <@matches> Also open source VHDL stuff is less "actually compiles" than I had hoped 11:32 <@matches> The two I've tried so far seem to generate absolute monstrosities of C or C++ files and then fail to compile and/or link
