05:03:42  <kdub> i have a joint shipping/train station, and the train is set to "transfer and leave empty". my ships don't take any cargo though, how do i get them to?
05:05:13  <kdub> so the train shows up, and does a transfer, some money appears, and the ships just wait at 0%
05:05:16  <Eddi|zuHause> have you checked if it is refit to the correct cargo type?
05:07:34  <kdub> hmm, i havent done anything like that
05:08:08  <Eddi|zuHause> that's probably the problem then ;)
05:08:24  <kdub> it is a cargo ship, i havent seen anything on the wiki about refitting it
05:09:47  <kdub> ah, there we go, lets see if this works...
05:10:04  <kdub> yay, thanks Eddi|zuHause

08:19:56  <xiong> No hands. I guess that's all of us. It's only what I expected.
08:20:39  <planetmaker> you should also ask the reverse question ;-)
08:21:25  <xiong> I could; but where would I ask it? "Are there any computer programmers who do not play OpenTTD?"
08:21:48  <xiong> I could ask on PerlMonks, I guess.
08:21:49  <__ln__> background programming of a computer extensive does not have this game who plays anyone does?
08:22:21  <xiong> Only a hacker would say that, __ln__. You are busted.
08:24:08  <planetmaker> the reverse question here would of course be "Does anyone play this game who has an extensive computer programming background"
08:24:18  <planetmaker> and you ask it in the same place(s).
08:24:23  <xiong> I went to work today, spent the first 6 hours planning a huge transfer station in my head and on paper, and quit early. As soon as I put the finishing touches on the small, local, two-city station with a mere 17 tracks, each 6 platform tiles, I start leveling for the transfer.
08:24:30  <planetmaker> or your conclusions are biased by your questions
08:25:00  <xiong> planetmaker, That's not the reverse question; that's the inverse. Testing the theorem also tests the inverse.

08:26:01  <Noldo> sample size!
08:26:41  <xiong> I *am* going to build a transfer station with 18 tracks, each 8 platforms -- on the trunk side -- and two blocks of 8 tracks, 6 platforms each for the local side.
08:27:29  <xiong> I figure, based on games played so far, that the key factor in station size is the number of trains waiting to load industrial cargo.

08:41:26  <planetmaker> [09:25]	<xiong>	planetmaker, That's not the reverse question; that's the inverse. Testing the theorem also tests the inverse.  <-- you apply the wrong methods. Social sciences have a long history of fallacies which are a result from the assumption you express here
08:41:54  <planetmaker> the assumption you express only applies to binary logic in (natural) sciences
08:42:17  <xiong> Oh, it's worse than that. So much worse, I wouldn't know where to start.
08:42:55  <xiong> Small sample size, sample bias, failure to respond, and the nasty question of how many of us are eating french fries right this very minute.
08:43:54  <planetmaker> sample size of 0 maybe?
08:43:58  <xiong> I still think everyone who plays this game (for some value of "everyone") has a computer engineering background, probably in software, very likely advanced.
08:44:29  * planetmaker ponders and wonders
08:44:38  <xiong> Eh? You read the question. You have been sampled. So Noldo and __ln__.

08:45:11  <Terkhen> ieugh
08:45:19  <xiong> Failure to respond to survey. There's a reason why I'm not in the social sciences.

08:46:35  <Terkhen> planetmaker: I think he asks these questions this way just to troll us
08:46:44  <xiong> Signals-in-tunnels is an important feature. Prototype railroads signal in tunnels routinely.
08:46:45  <planetmaker> probably
08:46:46  * dih pondered that too
08:46:55  <Terkhen> so it's probably better to not add fuel to the fire
08:47:04  <xiong> Terkhen, That's not nice. I'd like to know.
08:47:11  <planetmaker> Terkhen: I still don't find anywher computer sciences even remotely in my CV? Am I a bad guy now?
08:47:20  <dih> Terkhen, not adding fuel or rather extinguish it?
08:47:22  <Terkhen> :O
08:47:27  <xiong> I didn't place any moral value on it, man.

08:48:25  <xiong> I'm curious: What are your specialties, planetmaker?
08:48:32  <planetmaker> <<---
08:49:01  <xiong> Although, you know, I have to say that if you've done all the OTTD development I think you have, you are now an experienced computer programmer, whether you had that background when you came in or not.
08:49:36  <xiong> I don't limit experience to resume stuff -- or, as you folks across the pond say, CV.
08:49:42  <planetmaker> I guess I taught myself image processing and I could put that on my CV...
08:50:05  * avdg hates CV's :p

08:57:20  <Terkhen> anyone who checks the forums (or even better, flyspray) would have never asked that question
08:57:23  <xiong> Okay, looking for the experienced answer: Why, on clear track -- no junctions of any kind -- would I want to space out my signals? Why not signal every tile?
08:58:34  <xiong> Terkhen, There is always an amateur fringe. What a terribly worded question! I guess I should abandon my efforts to obtain an anthropology master's.
08:58:52  <xiong> I'd rather talk trains.
08:59:58  <xiong> I see a lot of the shots here and there have signals set every 2 tiles. I don't know why this should be a magic number. At first, I signaled every N tiles, where N is the length of my trains. But this wastes track, dynamically. So, why not every tile?
09:00:03  *** avdg [~avdg@78-21-59-217.access.telenet.be] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
09:00:26  <TrueBrain> go for it! :)
09:00:31  <planetmaker> equation of continuity ;-)
09:01:11  <xiong> Naturally, past a junction, I want to leave unsignaled N tiles. But leading up to a junction, I don't see the merit in spacing them out. Nor do I see much informed discussion of the topic.
09:01:13  <Terkhen> my point is that doing a survey in a subset of the population will give you biased results
09:02:01  <Terkhen> about the signals... I'm not very good with trains, but in my experience signals spaced every two tiles are usually enough and they cost half
09:02:18  <xiong> So, it's just a money thing?
09:02:30  <planetmaker> keeping a spacing of a signal every tile is difficult for junctions ;-)
09:02:34  <xiong> Or possibly, for some, a thing about the way it looks.
09:02:49  <xiong> planetmaker, I said that.
09:03:04  <Terkhen> also, a space between tiles makes it easier to connect new railways to your line
09:03:20  <xiong> Yah. You don't have to remove an existing signal.
09:04:18  <xiong> This ties into my desire to see signals-in-tunnels. See, here is a tunnel; unsignalled of course. A little further on, a junction, signaled before the junction, of course, and unsignaled for N tiles afterward.
09:04:24  <planetmaker> a chain is only as strong as its weakest link
09:04:30  <planetmaker> strength here is signal distance
09:04:35  <TrueBrain> also, one has to consider the time it takes to get up to speed vs many signals
09:04:46  <planetmaker> As such there's no point to use anywhere a signal distance smaller than your largest gap
09:04:57  <xiong> So, naturally, I want to put a signal immediately after the tunnel exit. This might be right before the next signal, just before the junction.
09:06:25  <xiong> I realize this will not have a large effect on throughput vs leaving the tile empty at the tunnel exit. But the early signal will be cleared a little earlier and let another train into the tunnel just a bit sooner, which may allow something else to get moving upstream, and so on.
09:06:46  *** pugi [~pugi@p4FCC5D66.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
09:08:24  <xiong> planetmaker, I think you and I are saying the same thing. If I have a stretch of track with a tunnel in it, then the tunnel is the weak link -- or the choke point. The longer the tunnel, the worse the choke. Not signaling right at tunnel entry and exit means, effectively, a longer tunnel -- a longer unsignaled track. No?
09:08:44  *** azaghal [~azaghal@109.207.46.30] has joined #openttd
09:09:48  <xiong> The point is, perhaps, not so much to signal closely on completely clear track; but to signal closely near obstructions: tunnels and junctions.
09:09:59  <xiong> If I'm wrong about this, I'd like to know it.
09:10:14  <xiong> I don't pretend to have any real experience. I'm only theorizing.

10:50:27  <xiong> Ammler, I'm not in the habit of writing without forethought. I meant every single word I wrote, no more, no less. I've already addressed your remark, before you even made it.
10:50:46  <Ammler> good morning all :-)
10:50:49  <Terkhen> hi Ammler
10:52:01  <xiong> What many people fail to understand about me is that I think very carefully before I say anything serious. Unless you have new information to offer me, I cannot be persuaded by any amount of rhetoric, repetition, or threat to change my mind -- not on any subject. I am only susceptible to reason. I'm sorry; I realize this infuriates many people. But that's how I'm constructed.
10:52:53  <xiong> On the bright side, I'm extremely willing to reverse myself on a dime, given that new information. I've been wrong all my life; I can be wrong again very easily.
10:52:58  <planetmaker> your lack of understanding makes reasoning futile
10:53:00  <Terkhen> whatever
10:53:16  <xiong> I'm sorry; what is there to understand?
10:53:32  <planetmaker> how copyright works
10:53:41  <norbert79> Just read in the news: The engine failure of the Airbus 380 Quants plane was caused by an oil-leak in the engine. The source of the problem is under investigation, all current Airbus380 planes are on hold for Qantas.
10:53:46  <xiong> Oh, that's not a lack of understanding. That's a lack of interest.
10:54:07  <norbert79> xiong: Well, interested or not, thats an issue, which noone can avoid :)
10:54:29  <Terkhen> :D
10:54:30  <Ammler> that's not true, if you wouldn't be interested in, you would just use the license you get told to use.
10:54:31  <xiong> I consider the entire matter of "intellectual property" to be a fool's errand. That said, yes, it's an issue I can't entirely avoid.
10:54:55  <xiong> Ammler, If you have read my post then you would see I have answered that issue. Very clearly.
10:54:58  <norbert79> Ammler: Which could also cause some troubles for him later on, but thats something which I don't want to go into details about :)
10:55:07  <planetmaker> norbert79: it's one possibility... Lufthansa claims to not have seen that at their engines...
10:55:21  <norbert79> planetmaker: Yeah, I also vote for maintanence issues
10:55:24  <Ammler> xiong: yes, which tells me, that you are very interested in the license topic, maybe too much :-)
10:55:30  <norbert79> planetmaker: Wouldn't be the first time at Qantas
10:55:54  <xiong> No; rather, I'm hostile to it, personally. I don't want to have anything to do with it, at all, not in any way, shape or form.
10:55:59  <planetmaker> norbert79: maintenance issues? Hm... They're one of the very few without fatal incidents in their whole history
10:56:03  <planetmaker> which is rare
10:56:24  <norbert79> planetmaker: Well, not having lost any planes and having ongoing maintanence issues are two different things :)
10:56:49  <planetmaker> true for sure ;-)
10:57:09  <Ammler> norbert79: also gpl isn't the easiest license, imo, that is rather CC-whatever, as you don't need to supply sources then.
10:57:11  <planetmaker> but it tells at least that in the past maintenance has been thorough enough to avoid fatal mishaps ;-)
10:57:14  <xiong> And now, you've all tried again to persuade my without introducing new information. Please, spare yourself the frustration. I'm a blockhead.
10:57:35  <norbert79> Ammler: I still prefer it, besides in case of GRF's, the GRF is the source itself...
10:57:44  <norbert79> Ammler: But you are partly right
10:57:46  <Ammler> it is best :-)

10:58:34  <Terkhen> xiong: if that is the case, why bother about releasing your work?
10:58:40  <planetmaker> you may pick pieces, keep the CDDL for that and apply your favourite one for the whole project, the one which you chose
10:58:54  <norbert79> planetmaker: Indeed, but I just think they used some other spare part replacing something in their planes... Just think on the British Airways accident, where the pilot got almost sucked out fully from a Boeing, because the maintanenr has replaced the bolts of the cockpit's front panels with almost similar bolts
10:59:18  <planetmaker> never heart of that. Sounds scary
10:59:33  <norbert79> planetmaker: It's just a hunch... But having the same issue for all planes? Must be maintanence... Let me google that for ya :)
10:59:51  <norbert79> planetmaker: Pilot survived! :)
10:59:54  <xiong> Terkhen, Please stop. Or go on, if you merely want to have the last word. You may, at your option, read my post, which will answer all your questions, I sincerely believe.
10:59:59  <Ammler> xiong: the only info important from me, you got already
11:00:21  <norbert79> planetmaker: Ok, it was a BAC
11:00:24  <norbert79> planetmaker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_5390
11:00:27  <Ammler> no need for credits and reusing my license
11:00:35  <planetmaker> norbert79: can be a design / construction issue of the engine as well. I read that maintenance is done by Rolls Royce anyway
11:00:57  <norbert79> planetmaker: No, the Airbus is built with two types of engines, one is Rolls Royce only
11:01:09  <xiong> Another thing that may clarify things for you all is that I cannot detect most rhetorical questions. If you are making a statement and you address it to me with a question mark at the end, I think I'm being asked to answer, although I know that quite often, people do not mean to ask, merely to state. Sorry; this is a blind spot of mine.
11:01:17  <planetmaker> yes. But only Rolls Royce engines have that problem, norbert79 ;-)
11:01:18  <norbert79> planetmaker: I mean there are two versions of the plane
11:01:24  <xiong> Ammler, You presented new information, so I replied.
11:01:27  <norbert79> planetmaker: Crap, I rest my case :D
11:01:47  <planetmaker> yes, two engine manufacturers, I know :-)
11:01:49  <Ammler> xiong: and what holds you back from release now?
11:02:06  <planetmaker> Ammler: obviously "no new information" :-P

11:02:27  <xiong> Or are you asking a rhetorical question?
11:02:37  <Ammler> well, you told something to send me your source and I should make the release?

11:50:07  <norbert79> planetmaker: I am happy, that I could share this with you... :) My most investigated, "favorite" accident was the JAL123 in 1985...
11:50:31  <norbert79> planetmaker: There is also a flash animation about the accident including original sound tapes
11:50:53  <planetmaker> where? ;-)
11:51:00  <norbert79> planetmaker: Moment :)
11:51:04  <planetmaker> or you mean JAL123?
11:51:15  <planetmaker> then google video has it as the fingertips

11:53:12  <planetmaker> ah, yes, I recall that from the news
11:54:19  <norbert79> Most terrible one, and the most honoured one
12:16:16  <dih> BA incident?
12:23:17  <planetmaker> read a bit back for the link
12:27:38  <dih> there is a series called 'air crash investigation' on youtube, they also go through that flight
12:27:52  <dih> very good documentry

12:40:54  <planetmaker> http://www.novespace.fr/fr,a300,presentation.html <-- A300, model #3 ;-)
12:41:24  <planetmaker> but it has a hand-picked service crew - but no one else anymore has the qualification ;-)

12:43:54  <Rubidium> that sounds annoying when you need to make a go-around after the wheels have hit the tarmac
12:49:15  <Rubidium> even then, media have a strange way of covering incidents; a small plane crashing here with a few dead is big news, whereas a car crashing into a tree killing a few doesn't even show up on the local news
12:50:41  <SirSquidness> planetmaker: I am envious of your plane flying escapades (although, only if you're talking about the exact plane featured in that picture, not just a plane of the same model)

17:48:10  <AveiMil> Barely
17:48:14  <Qantourisc> :)
17:48:22  <Belugas> obviously :D
17:48:30  <Prof_Frink> Belugas should be more realistic.
17:48:59  <Qantourisc> I'm translating: "Waiting: Nothing"

17:49:20  <AveiMil> realism must take second place to gameplay

17:49:28  <AveiMil> or 3rd
17:49:29  <Belugas> fourth...
17:49:30  <AveiMil> or 4th
17:49:30  <AveiMil> :D
17:49:42  <Belugas> or... none?
17:49:52  <Qantourisc> Now there are 2 ways i can translate it: "Waiting: nill" or "Waiting: nothing to be transported"
17:50:41  <Belugas> but seriously, no, there is nothing very specal (not as realistic acceleration anyway) about inflation
17:50:47  <Belugas> it just goes up and down
17:50:59  <Belugas> randomly, as glx mentionned
17:51:24  <Qantourisc> AveiMil: maybe there is something _specific_ you wish to know about it ?
17:51:26  <Belugas> economic cycle is not really of an interest, anyway
17:51:56  <AveiMil> Qantourisc, well for one if it has any effect on gameplay otehr than make all the numbers bigger over time...
17:52:11  <Qantourisc> AveiMil: yes
17:52:27  <Qantourisc> AveiMil: it makes you loose money if you cannot keep up with the inflation
17:52:31  <Belugas> it  make  the  game  more   realistic
17:52:47  <Qantourisc> AveiMil: also yesterday they mentioned that costs inflate faster, as a result, making everything more expensive to do
17:52:50  <AveiMil> Inflation generally increases income too
17:53:05  <AveiMil> so I'm wondering if it increases expenses more than incom...
17:53:09  <Qantourisc> AveiMil: yes, but if your investment return is smaller due to it

18:02:39  <AveiMil> there's no inflation option in difficulty here
18:02:43  <frosch123> 1% on income with 2% on expenses vs. 4% on income and 5% on expenses
18:02:45  <AveiMil> unless it's directly linked to intrrest rates
18:03:10  <frosch123> yes, it is
18:03:29  <Qantourisc> Ok i'm going to ask the channel a general question to prevent all further questions from me:
18:03:31  <frosch123> banks do not earn anything :p
18:03:42  <Qantourisc> Should I translate the exact meaning, or what it should be ?
18:03:57  <AveiMil> so inflation rate is intrest rate + 1?
18:04:05  <Qantourisc> AveiMil: no
18:04:16  <AveiMil> it only goes up to 4
18:04:17  <Qantourisc> AveiMil: the inflation of the COST is +1
18:04:19  <AveiMil> so what's thsi 2-5
18:04:27  <Qantourisc> AveiMil: maybe he made a mistake ?
18:04:43  <AveiMil> Unforgivable
18:04:44  <AveiMil> :)

20:27:16  <SmatZ> they were just unconnected for quite long time, so I thought they are forgotten somehow
20:29:23  <Zuu> Could be the road pathfinder that took long time to figure out that no path could be found. It tries from one end for X number of iterations and then from the other end for Y number of interations. X is quite small while Y is really the limit of how long time it will pathfind.
20:30:26  <Zuu> By setting X to zero you would minimize the time it takes to find a path if there is a path. The size of X depends how large islands that can be detected without trying *any* route to the island.

22:00:53  <glx> aircraft are meant to be 4 times slower than other vehicles
22:01:45  <AveiMil> I was more thinking about the various aircraft compared to the other aircrafts
22:01:52  <Belugas> i'm paid to play a cool game of cards
22:01:57  <Belugas> hem...
22:02:03  <AveiMil> you play poker?
22:02:05  <Belugas> program a cool game of cards
22:02:08  <Zuu> Belugas:  ^^
22:02:20  <Belugas> no, not quite poker :)
22:02:33  <Belugas> my cards have exotic names, like...
22:02:35  <Belugas> visa
22:02:36  <AveiMil> so not a professional poker player then
22:02:38  <Belugas> mastercard
22:02:42  <AveiMil> ah :D

22:40:07  <Rubidium> even then Apple seems to be using llvm for their "latest" gcc
22:40:24  <planetmaker> yes. that works here, too
22:40:33  <SmatZ> clang/llvm almost compiles openttd nowadays :)

22:41:44  <planetmaker> hm?
22:41:54  <SmatZ> there's one (mis)understanding of standard, where clang refuses to behave the same way as other compilers
