 00:41 <@matches> The pixels or perish guy would approve
 00:43 <@matches> So much regret

+23:38 <@matches> So, I have this book called "Computer Graphics" that is pretty amazing
+23:38 <@matches> Funnily enough it has all the algorithms in it
+23:38 <@matches> For computer graphics
+23:38 <@matches> Probably should have been reading it ages ago but I thought we were worrying more about precision
+23:38 <@matches> I don't even know anymore
+23:39 <@matches> Have to read 500pg textbook on graphics, 500pg textbook on floating point numbers, 500pg PDF/PostScript standards...
+23:39 <@matches> Too many pages
+23:39 <@matches> Anyway it has a section on Octrees
+23:39 <@matches> But don't worry
+23:39 <@matches> It mentions Quad trees
+23:39 <@matches> It also actually mentions fractals
+23:39 <@matches> As a thing
+23:40 <@matches> In other news, extending the document we have at the moment to allow anything other than rectangles will be interesting
+23:41 <@matches> Did you do this on purpose? :P
+--- Day changed Wed May 07 2014
+12:32 <@matches> We need to do something about all the warnings generated by the magic OpenGL 3 stuff
+12:32 <@matches> It's making it hard to sport warnings that I actually care about
+12:33 <@matches> Like: You forgot to return a value in this function :S
+13:52 <@matches> Gah I did it again
+13:52 <@matches> auto is dangerous
+13:53 <@matches> Possibly because it's buggy
+13:53 <@matches> I can't actually see any compiler warnings at all
+17:39 <@matches> So you can almost maybe see a difference between beziers calculated using floats and doubles
+17:40 <@matches> If you squint
+17:40 <@matches> And view them on different monitors
+17:41 <@matches> Ah there we go
+17:41 <@matches> I successfully broke it
+17:42 <@matches> When you round to pixel positions it doesn't make a difference
+17:43 <@matches> But on the other hand if you calculate beziers using really big numbers they look wierd :P
+17:43 <@matches> That's important
+17:43 <@matches> Because if you have an arbitrary infinite document you might be at coordinate positions that are really big
+17:43 <@matches> Captain Obvious strikes again
+17:45 <@matches> I think I will make a video of a circle moving towards infinity
+17:45 <@matches> This probably won't help the literature view much but it's too tempting to resist
+17:46 <@matches> I gave up trying to deal with our document format so I currently just generate vector<pair<T, T> > and then map that to a bitmap :P
