07:17:40  <andythenorth> o/
07:19:23  <andythenorth> hi Alberth
07:19:47  <Alberth> mornink
07:19:58  <Alberth> how did the pickle sleep?
07:20:31  <andythenorth> yeah
07:20:54  <andythenorth> instead of changing two important data structures everywhere in the compile
07:21:08  <andythenorth> I wrote this
07:21:09  <andythenorth> condition="ship.id in roster.buy_menu_sort_order"
07:21:18  <andythenorth> which took 30s
07:21:33  <andythenorth> 7 hours of hard sleeping to get to that mind
07:22:01  <Alberth> so that was profitable rest :)
07:22:41  <andythenorth> the world must be full of excessive code written by sleep deprvied developers
07:23:21  <Alberth> code typing is much easier than smart thinking :)
07:23:23  <andythenorth> http://www.buzzmaven.com/2014/01/old-engineer-hammer-2.html
07:23:59  <andythenorth> read this last week, interesting http://pythontesting.net/strategy/why-most-unit-testing-is-waste/

07:31:11  <Eddi|zuHause> <Alberth> code typing is much easier than smart thinking :) <-- this is basically a variation of what my professor taught: "a bad programmer will produce 100 lines of code per hour. a good programmer will produce 10 lines of code per hour"
07:31:45  <Alberth> :)
07:31:54  <peter1138> I do end-to-end testing.
07:32:24  *** Yotson [~Yotson@2001:980:6ac8:1:6c7d:feca:86fd:80ec] has joined #openttd
07:36:58  <peter1138> Except in ottd, then I just commit without testing anything.
07:37:09  <peter1138> Why bother compiling even?
07:46:32  <andythenorth> that’s what a compile farm is for :P
07:52:11  <Alberth> I mostly just test whether the demonstrated bug in the specific use case is fixed
07:58:50  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: so what i gather from being halfway through the article is: "if a test succeeds [or fails] a lot of times in a row, run this test less often, to use the computation time more effectively"
07:59:04  *** Myhorta [~Myhorta@00018fad.user.oftc.net] has joined #openttd
07:59:27  <andythenorth> also succeeding tests cause a false sense of security
07:59:37  <andythenorth> tests often fail to be maintained against changes
07:59:47  <andythenorth> but the test run reports green for months on end
08:00:37  <andythenorth> causes too much reliance on tests passing, verus up-front design
08:01:01  <ATS63> Well if we're talking about bugs... it would be cool if ships couldn't sail through each other
08:01:15  <Eddi|zuHause> i've never really done automatic testing
08:01:24  <Eddi|zuHause> ATS63: that is not a bug
08:01:26  <andythenorth> automatic testing is good
08:01:46  <andythenorth> over-provisioning unit tests adds a lot of cost, for possibly limited real gain
08:02:30  <ATS63> Well then, it could be a "feature request"
08:02:39  <ATS63> Ships could crash, by sailing into each other.
08:03:11  <ATS63> Airplanes should have the same behaviour
08:04:55  * andythenorth does stupid thing
08:05:36  <andythenorth> dunno why I care about keeping vehicle IDs ‘neat and tidy'
08:05:42  <andythenorth> it’s such a non-issue :P
08:05:46  <andythenorth> anyway, they’re all tidy now

08:06:42  <Eddi|zuHause> ATS64: imho, that would make a bad game that i wouldn't want to play.
08:07:30  <ATS64> Provided there was new code that made it an unlikely event to occur, I disagree
08:07:52  <Eddi|zuHause> ATS64: especially for airplanes, which easily might fly in different altitudes even though they are on the same tile
08:08:29  <ATS64> Might, except they ascend & descend over the same number of tiles at the same angle :)
08:08:36  <Alberth> let's first start by an algorithm that makes it possible without taking loads of CPU time
08:09:11  <Eddi|zuHause> well, the game actually does implement different altitudes. but because this has no gameplay value, it only does this very crudely based on speed
08:09:22  <ATS64> I'm no science expert but I think that means all aircraft fly at the same altitude
08:09:42  <andythenorth> don’t ruin my ships :(
08:10:30  <Eddi|zuHause> if you watch closely, you see planes changing altitude on approaching a holding pattern, or breaking down
08:11:53  <ATS64> The algorithm for ships wouldn't need to be complicated. Follow the maritime rules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_and_starboard#Right-of-way_for_other_vessels
08:12:19  <andythenorth> ship tile pathfinding is already rather demanding on CPU
08:12:33  <andythenorth> a game with a large number of ships will run your battery down fast
08:14:20  <ATS64> It could be an option that can be disabled in the advanced settings?
08:14:56  <ATS64> The advantage is, it would introduce congestion issues to ships
08:15:36  <Eddi|zuHause> ATS64: but sometimes, even very simple code has very high computational complexity
08:17:48  <andythenorth> ATS64: it has been discussed many times before ;)
08:18:22  <andythenorth> it is on a list of things that a probably never going to happen, like subways and roadtypes
08:18:25  <andythenorth> and daylength
08:18:32  <andythenorth> are *
08:18:38  <andythenorth> :)
08:19:18  <ATS64> hmm... subways would be cool too
08:22:49  <Alberth> ATS64: now you need to come up with a receipt that implements the rules, and works in every circumstance
08:23:02  <Alberth> without taking a lot of steps
08:24:06  <Alberth> unlike the real world, there are no actual humans aboard each ship that understand the rules, and decide what to do
08:25:28  <ATS64> You mean I'm paying kpa in running costs, and theres no human controlling this ferry? I always thought they were chinese
08:26:04  <Alberth> sorry to disappoint you

08:29:09  <andythenorth> hmm
08:29:21  <andythenorth> should be src/docs
08:29:28  <andythenorth> lang_src is even stupider
08:30:19  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: not a thing i would worry about...
08:30:39  <andythenorth> just ugly
08:30:49  <andythenorth> I’ll ignore it
08:31:38  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: i suppose that falls into the category of "do not touch a running system"
08:31:53  <ATS63> Something like that
08:32:18  <ATS63> I'm trying to find the asian responsible for my connection issues so I may punish them by reducing their rice allowance. Its not even wacist

08:35:08  <ATS63> I guess I could ssh to a lunix machine
08:35:18  <Eddi|zuHause> and "everybody else is using it" is not a measurement for "good"
08:35:30  <Alberth> just install linux :)

10:10:59  <andythenorth> but maybe my 3D days are behind me
10:11:12  <Pikkaphone> true, but you could put bits together and I could render them. Or I could just render a lot of variations and you could use the ones you want

13:14:06  <Eddi|zuHause> i suppose that makes some sense...
13:14:31  <Wolf01> I always thought that hoop in hula hoop was an exclamation
13:15:48  <Eddi|zuHause> i wouldn't have made that association. because in german, the "hoop" in "hula hoop" is pronounced with a short u, not a long u
13:16:13  <Eddi|zuHause> as such, i would also not spelled it that way
13:16:19  <Wolf01> we pronounce it like "hop"
13:17:55  <Eddi|zuHause> you mean like in "allez hop"?
13:18:51  <Wolf01> it could be, I don't know that one
13:19:12  <Eddi|zuHause> it's a common circus phrase
13:20:05  <Eddi|zuHause> i would have translated it as "go jump"

15:06:25  <Alberth> how does one need cargo dist for that?
15:06:55  <Alberth> it sounds like something that a lot of game scripts are already doing
15:07:12  <Alberth> despite cargo dist, mostly
15:23:19  <Eddi|zuHause> Alberth: i think it's more like "at this station i enter that i want X amount per month, and then cargodist figures out how much share it must reserve for this route on the origin station(s)"
15:23:53  <Eddi|zuHause> which is currently this obscure and not very customizable "demand" function
15:25:07  <Eddi|zuHause> Alberth: game scripts can say "deliver X amount here to get Y reward", but they can't influence cargodist to make this delivery
15:25:16  <Alberth> the only use case I see where you want that to set manually is woth *supplies of FIRS
15:25:42  <Alberth> Eddi|zuHause: true, game scripts needs to be able to influence cargo dist
15:26:00  <Alberth> which would be a good step imho
15:26:02  <Eddi|zuHause> it's also the maximum capacities of PBI and ECS
15:26:23  <Eddi|zuHause> which is currently horribly incompatible with cargodist
15:26:33  <Eddi|zuHause> as you cannot say "lower the share for this industry"
15:26:48  <Alberth> it's horribly incompatible with ttd
15:27:22  <Alberth> what's the point of having max acceptance, if you automate it away with cdist?
15:27:38  <Alberth> you might as well have industries without such max limits
15:28:02  <Eddi|zuHause> the point is that you have to service more secondary industries, instead of shoving the whole map to one location
15:29:39  <Alberth> sure, but you don't need an industry set with max capacity for that, if you have game script control over cargo dist
15:30:09  <Pikka> the industry set, of course, predates both gamescript and cargodist. :P
15:30:20  <Eddi|zuHause> and it's not automatted, you have to set the "demand share" manually, if you see that the automatic distribution allocates too much to this one station
15:30:55  <Eddi|zuHause> i think game script is the worst solution to this problem
15:30:56  <Alberth> Pikka: yeah, but to argue need for setting an upper limit in cdist for such industry sets is thus backwards reasoning
15:31:12  <Pikka> gamescript is the worst solution to almost every problem
15:31:41  <Eddi|zuHause> the problem is that the two ideas "maximum input" and "cargodist" are incompatible. how is throwing another layer of incompatibility on top of it going to solve anything?
15:31:57  <Alberth> I'd say it's a newgrf trying to global optimization without global overview :p
15:32:13  <Eddi|zuHause> it's not global optimization
15:32:20  <Eddi|zuHause> it's completely local to the industry
15:32:51  <Alberth> right, and controlling number of industries, keeping decision to close locally instead of globally?
15:33:03  <Eddi|zuHause> "if stockpile > value: stop accepting" is 100% self-contained
15:33:04  <Alberth> it won't ever work
15:34:03  <Eddi|zuHause> now this works very well on its own. but cargodist gets horribly confused by targets suddenly disappearing and reappearing
15:34:13  <Alberth> stockpile limits are indeed local, and that's fine
15:34:41  <Eddi|zuHause> but cargodist already has this "demand" function builtin, which could help solve this (as long as the total production is less than the total consumption)
15:34:49  <Eddi|zuHause> but the player has no way to influence it
15:35:05  <Alberth> neither does the newgrf
15:35:15  <Alberth> or does the newgrf cooperate in the world
15:35:24  <Eddi|zuHause> the newgrf does not have to
15:35:37  <Eddi|zuHause> the newgrf stays exactly like it is
15:35:42  <Alberth> sure, then give back the global things to the game engine!!
15:35:57  <Eddi|zuHause> the player gets a new interface to cargodist, by adjusting the demand value of a station up or down
15:36:33  <Eddi|zuHause> no interference between grf and cargodist.
15:36:58  <Eddi|zuHause> everything is in the hands of the player
15:37:25  <Alberth> fun, with 3,500 industries
15:38:44  <Eddi|zuHause> Alberth: but you don't connect 3500 industries all at once
15:38:53  <Eddi|zuHause> you add an industry to your network
15:38:57  <Eddi|zuHause> you identify bottlenecks
15:38:59  <Eddi|zuHause> you solve them
15:39:11  <Alberth> ecs does change the limits
15:39:12  <Eddi|zuHause> you identify the next bottlenecks
15:39:15  <Eddi|zuHause> you solve them
15:39:34  <Eddi|zuHause> Alberth: that's not the point
15:40:16  <Eddi|zuHause> Alberth: the point is, that when you get the news message "limit exceeded", you have the option as player to influence your network in a way to adjust
15:40:37  <Eddi|zuHause> which you currently can't
15:41:12  <Eddi|zuHause> you cannot reduce the number of trains servicing the route, because cargodist will still send the same amount of cargo, it will just pile up at some transfer station
15:42:08  <Eddi|zuHause> but like i said, the functionality is all there. it's just lacking an interface

17:28:28  <keoz> Little question: when using a "return (a && b)" statement, can I assume as a sure thing, that "a" will always be evaluated before "b" ? Additionally, if "a" is "false", is "b" still going to be evaluated ?
17:29:12  <peter1138> 1 yes 2 no
17:30:25  <keoz> Perfect. I had a doubt whether it's just a usual or standard behaviour. Thanks.
17:30:36  * FLHerne hates people who exploit that as an extra conditional and then ignore the return value of b :P
17:30:39  <Eddi|zuHause> it's one of the rare cases where behaviour of C is actually defined :p
17:31:37  <peter1138> FLHerne, (a && b) clearly doesn't ignore the return value of b, if a is true.
17:32:52  <Eddi|zuHause> i vaguely remember that (borland) pascal had compiler flags where you could turn lazy evaluation on or off
17:33:24  <frosch123> yes, it had
17:34:01  <Eddi|zuHause> also, overflow checking and stuff which C doesn't have by design
17:34:50  <frosch123> {$Q+} {$R+} {$S+} :)
17:35:02  <frosch123> array bounds, overflows, stack
17:35:12  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah. that was aaaaaages ago

17:38:52  <Eddi|zuHause> FLHerne: what does that have to do with the question?
17:38:58  <FLHerne> Which isn't even useful, because you could put it in the body of the 'if' anyway
17:39:41  <FLHerne> Eddi|zuHause: There seem to be crazy people who write functions that always return true, and then use short-circuit evaluation to conditionally call them
17:40:26  <Eddi|zuHause> they could, like, use the comma operator?
17:41:03  <Eddi|zuHause> thing about programming languages: there's an infinite number of ways to do the same stuff.
17:41:33  <frosch123> http://hg.openttd.org/openttd/trunk.hg/file/8f3d2dfd75aa/src/rail_cmd.cpp#l2221 <- you mean shit like that? :p

17:42:36  <frosch123> hg.coop is down, else i could link you to the crappiest nforenum code i encountered :)
17:42:36  <Eddi|zuHause> the station rating code uses this a lot
17:43:08  <Rubidium> frosch123: you mean there is relatively uncrappy nforenum code?

17:44:05  <andythenorth> the problem with ship rosters

17:49:52  <andythenorth> maybe you just always get a couple of small ferries and a couple of fishing boats
17:49:54  <andythenorth> always same
17:50:09  <andythenorth> and other stuff varies
17:50:28  <Alberth> depends on when your game starts?
17:50:50  <frosch123> just call them roster 1 to roster 5 and randomly distribute the vehicles over them for every release
17:51:43  <andythenorth> plausible
17:51:48  <frosch123> that way you do not have to wonder about their purpose, but let others figure it out

17:52:10  <andythenorth> but I’m not going to bloody draw them all
17:52:16  <Eddi|zuHause> that is a wonderful strategy if you define your existence by the number of support requests
17:53:27  <frosch123> well, looking outside, a ship may be useful currently

18:10:04  <Pikka> the perfect grf has every stat for every vehicle as a grf parameter
18:10:29  <Pikka> players like customisation, right?
18:11:01  <frosch123> yeah, but i still wonder how to customise pixel positions via parameters
18:11:21  <FLHerne> Pikka: Yep
18:11:37  <Rubidium> Pikka: wrong... the perfect GRF does exactly the thing the user wants at all and any time
18:11:42  <FLHerne> Then all the pixel colours as parameters, too :-)
18:12:02  <Pikka> splendid
18:12:14  <Rubidium> he wants to play with unreal capacity 19th century trains one maglev... (yay steampunk?)... then the GRF arranges that
18:12:43  <Rubidium> she wants to play with pink unicorns on horse tracks, then the GRF arranges that
18:13:05  <frosch123> oh, i also want the latter
18:14:03  <Rubidium> they want to play together? Then he sees only maglev 19th century trains, whereas she sees the unicorns on horse track. They go at different speeds, but heck... we'd just call it adaptive game speed ;)

19:40:39  <planetmaker> good evening
19:40:43  <andythenorth> current group think was a single action 14 param to choose a single roster ;)
19:40:46  <frosch123> hai pm :)
19:40:51  <frosch123> everything broken when you were gone :p
19:41:00  * andythenorth designing by committee
19:41:31  <planetmaker> so world went crashing? Anything of importance? :P
19:41:43  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: well, there are two easy options: 1) a ship may be in more than one roster, so you get a "european river", "european sea" and "all european" roster
19:42:14  <frosch123> redmine went down, spike had to trigger hard reset, but the reboot also had issues. right now, hg via http(s) is still broken
19:42:28  <frosch123> oh, and jenkins fails or so
19:42:37  <Eddi|zuHause> 2) give two selectors, e.g. one for river and one for sea, each having a "none" option. or have all rosters available in each, and don't care about duplicate selections
19:42:38  <planetmaker> uh. meh
19:42:46  <Alberth> jenkins was fixed again
19:43:04  *** Speedy [~speedy@the.wrong.domain.name] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
19:44:45  <Eddi|zuHause> if your ship availability is defined by "climate avalailability = (selector1==A || selector1==B || selector2==A || selector2==B)" then there is no problem with either 1) or 2)
19:45:05  <Eddi|zuHause> CETS does a mixture of both
19:45:27  <Eddi|zuHause> there is one selector for each time era
19:45:43  <Eddi|zuHause> but a vehicle can be in multiple eras and multiple companies for each era
19:47:11  <Eddi|zuHause> the overlap between eras is so you actually have vehicles available for a 1920 start if you disabled the 1870-1920 era
19:48:01  <Eddi|zuHause> and the overlap between companies is for cargo wagons and stuff, which were rather unified
19:48:49  <Eddi|zuHause> which has the side effect of you not having 20 different-but-same open wagons if you select "all companies"
19:48:51  <andythenorth> I could do a ‘big’ roster
19:49:12  <andythenorth> I always find there’s no gameplay purpose to including both river boats and sea ships together
19:49:15  <andythenorth> they duplicate sizes
19:49:34  <Eddi|zuHause> that sounds perfectly reasonable
19:49:49  <Eddi|zuHause> (wo are you and what have you done with andy?)
19:51:29  <planetmaker> right... rhodecode is for another day. No immediate clue why it fails
19:51:55  <planetmaker> it's up and running, but not accessible, or so it seems
19:52:20  <Eddi|zuHause> ports were blocked while it started?
19:52:32  <Eddi|zuHause> or other weird stuff(tm)
19:52:45  <planetmaker> and... now it works
19:53:01  <Eddi|zuHause> yes. i'm that good.
19:58:24  <Eddi|zuHause> i think the ship just arrived
19:59:29  <andythenorth> river or sea? o_O
19:59:49  <Eddi|zuHause> not sure yet
19:59:58  <Eddi|zuHause> but apparently it took about 2 hours
20:00:12  <planetmaker> I can tell you that there's a big difference between sea worthy and inland water worthy ;)
20:01:21  <Eddi|zuHause> i suppose there will be a few centuries until sea ships reach my place
20:01:50  <planetmaker> well. Sea ships can go inlands. But inland ships cannot go safely onto the sea :)
20:02:05  <Eddi|zuHause> my house is at about 130m, the river is about 90m above sea level
20:02:05  *** Supercheese [~Superchee@76.178.136.186] has joined #openttd
20:03:56  <Eddi|zuHause> there's not a lot of inland ship traffic on the river either, because the current economic size of ships doesn't fit anymore, and expanding the limiting section takes a lot of monew which nobody wants to spend
20:04:37  <Eddi|zuHause> so we now have this brand new harbour which no ship will reach in the near future
20:04:52  <planetmaker> sounds reasonable. As tax-money sink

20:05:35  <Eddi|zuHause> well they do have a railway connection, so they are using it to load containers onto trucks and stuff
20:05:51  <Eddi|zuHause> but it still accumulates negative profit
20:06:54  <Eddi|zuHause> it's better than Leipzig anyway, which has a harbour since ~1830, and no ship has ever reached it, because the canal was never completed
20:08:00  <andythenorth> build student flats on it
20:08:29  <Eddi|zuHause> they started like 3 times, and each time they made significant progress, some war came along and consumed all the investment capital
20:10:02  <Eddi|zuHause> so for the last 70 years they were stuck with a halfway completed canal, and some bridges over flat land
20:10:56  <Eddi|zuHause> some crazy people want to continue building, but there's no expectation that any kind of freight will ever be transported on the canal after completion, so they're hoping for tourism
20:15:31  <Rubidium> are there enough low wage jobs in that area?
20:17:19  <Rubidium> if not, buy them a shovel and wheelbarrow and they can start digging ;)
20:17:48  <Rubidium> here they even "rerouted" a canal to pass a village that had very high unemployment
