Calinou |
just as a note, I once heard pitch shifting on compressed sounds (Minetest only supports .ogg sounds, not .wav sounds) can be fairly CPU-intensive |
| 00:59 |
Calinou |
although, it probably doesn't matter on desktops |
| 00:59 |
Calinou |
(this: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2727#issuecomment-294319387) |
| 00:59 |
thePalindrome |
Aye |
| 01:00 |
Calinou |
this is just hearsay though, I know many games which do it successfully |
| 01:00 |
thePalindrome |
Even a java based game :P |
| 01:01 |
Calinou |
I forgot if Minecraft uses .wav or .ogg sounds for samples, it looks like the latest versions no longer include the files directly, not even in a .jar |
| 01:01 |
Calinou |
or they're renamed randomly (I found my player skin that way) |
| 01:01 |
Calinou |
seems to be .ogg, yeah |
| 01:02 |
thePalindrome |
Just figured it'd be a nice feature to help break up the monotony |
| 01:02 |
OldCoder |
Monotony? |
| 01:02 |
Calinou |
yes, even classic Doom had random sound pitching, in 1993, but they broke it in later releases |
| 01:03 |
Calinou |
(it was on .wav sounds though) |
| 01:03 |
Calinou |
(well, .wav-like, uncompressed) |

waldo99: grep is a tool (usually found by default on UNIX-like systems, though it is available on Windows in various forms as well) that lets you search for text in files |

Oh, there's a Creation vs Evolution argument in offtopic on the forums |

calculon |
hi there |
| 13:59 |
calculon |
stupid question : i see many mods which distribute their code and textures under different licences |
| 14:00 |
calculon |
code is generally gpl or wtfpl and textures under cc-by-sa |
| 14:00 |
calculon |
is there a good reason to that ? |
| 14:05 |
asie |
yes, source licenses don't tend to apply well to textures and vice versa |
| 14:06 |
asie |
also CC really is the standard for open creative works |
| 14:06 |

ok, i see |

first, i would very much argue if using Faithful constitutes as "legal distribution" |

Faithful is very obviously a derivative of Mojang's own textures even if it has an open license |

Use them as you wish. They do not even require attribution. |

You should probably document, in the code, where they came from. |

benrob0329, yes, it would be better if they stated an explicit license *or* said, public domain. |

But in the highly unlikely event of a dispute, Respondent in this case could say, "it's WTFPL". |

May I ask how do you celebrate Easter in your country? (I'm just curious of the traditions in other places) |
| 20:03 |
benrob0329 |
I dont, I celebrate Passover |
| 20:10 |

throws some matzah at benrob0329 |

* benrob0329 |
throws some matzah ball soup at VanessaE |
| 20:11 |
VanessaE |
not kosher for passover :) |
| 20:11 |
VanessaE |
(but we're reform. we'll eat pizza during passover :P ) |
| 20:13 |
benrob0329 |
How is matza ball soup not kosher for passover? |
| 20:13 |
benrob0329 |
its not leavened |
| 20:17 |
juhdanad |
We in Hungary visit our female relatives, tell a poem to them and sprout perfume onto their head (like watering plants) so they won't wither. |
| 20:18 |
VanessaE |
benrob0329: oh there's some BS claim about the matzah being in water for too long |
| 20:18 |
VanessaE |
keep it wet, it leavens or some such (even though there's no baking soda or yeast) |
| 20:19 |
juhdanad |
In the old times boys went from house to house with buckets full of water, and girls prepared a lot of dry clothes for this day. |
| 20:22 |
VanessaE |
benrob0329: besides, the way I've always understood it, if you strip away all the rabbinical stuff, not only is it supposed to be *bread* e.g. more like tortillas or pita than a cracker, you were only supposed to add that to your diet for the week and choose it over leavened stuff where practical (and where time wouldn't be a factor - as it is the "bread of haste"), not utterly eliminate the leavened stuff/ |
| 20:23 |
VanessaE |
s/wouldn\'t/would/ |

VanessaE: indeed |

Yes, why? |

| 20:26 |
juhdanad |
Good for you. You don't have to learn German. I'm struggling with it. |
| 20:28 |
OldCoder |
juhdanad, I only know a little German. I was referring to ancestry. |
| 20:28 |
OldCoder |
Great-grandparents on that side came over circa World War I. |

| 21:20 |
Markow |
Tomorrow is a funny holiday here in Poland: Dyngus Åšmygus, or "Wet Monday". Boys douse girls with water and even throw them in streams, and old tradition. |
| 21:21 |
Markow |
Also, many pranks are played. |
| 21:21 |
benrob0329 |
Interesting |
| 21:22 |
juhdanad |
Markow: hi! We have the same tradition. |
| 21:23 |
Markow |
juhdanad: Yes, it's quite common all over Central Europe actually, including Czech and Slovakia |
| 21:23 |
juhdanad |
But here we also tell a poem. |
| 21:23 |
Markow |
Oh, there are many other things done which I have not mentioned |
| 21:24 |
Markow |
It's also a huge day of "courting" a bride, etc, and much more. |
| 21:24 |
* Markow |
is a native Manhattan, New York City guy living in Europe since 2002 ;) |
| 21:25 |
juhdanad |
Why did you move (if I may ask)? |
| 21:26 |
Markow |
juhdanad: Several reasons actually, they vary. I had always dreamed of living in Europe one day, to own property here, typcially American fantasy which became a reality for me. |
| 21:27 |
juhdanad |
I didn't know Americans wish to live elsewhere. |
| 21:27 |
Markow |
Many Americans also do the same by purchasing farmhouses in rural Italy or France |
| 21:27 |
Markow |
Then they renovate the properties |
| 21:27 |
Markow |
juhdanad: Lot's of American expats here in Europe, especially near me in Kraków |
| 21:28 |
Markow |
I'll tell you one thing I learned from living here: Life is nicer, more pleasant, much less stressful than it was living in New York City |
| 21:28 |
swift110 |
hey all |
| 21:28 |
swift110 |
Markow: oh goodness I couldnt live somewhere with that many people |
| 21:29 |
Markow |
swift110: Manhattan (East Village to be exact) was too hectic, too crowded, etc |
| 21:29 |
juhdanad |
Well, most educated Hungarian people want to live in Western Europe or America. |
| 21:30 |
Markow |
I think the America people see on television leads to a false impression of prosperity |
| 21:30 |
juhdanad |
They believe that they will be better treated and get better payments than there. |
| 21:31 |
juhdanad |
But not me. I like my country. |
| 21:31 |
Markow |
juhdanad: The higher salary comes at a much higher price in the USA, in the form of high rents, high housing prices, and very high insurance and property taxes. |
| 21:31 |
Markow |
In the end, it all evens out |
| 21:31 |
juhdanad |
It's good to know. |
| 21:32 |
Markow |
juhdanad: In NYC, I rented an expensive flat which was boring. Here in Poland for example, I own over 40 hectares of my own land and pay a fraction of what property owners in the USA would pay |
| 21:33 |
Markow |
I really should publish a book on life of an American Expat in Europe ;) |
| 21:34 |
juhdanad |
In my country a bread's cost (1 kg) is only about 0.85 USD. I don't know how expensive it is in America. |
| 21:35 |
Markow |
Here in Poland, an extremely huge loaf of delicious, fresh bread without any preservatives, chemicals, and w/o bleached flour costs only $ 0.50 USD |
| 21:35 |
Markow |
juhdanad: In the USA, too much of the food is processed, including the bread |
| 21:36 |
Markow |
juhdanad: I haven't visited Hungary yet, but it's in my plans |
| 21:36 |
Markow |
I also would like to see Romania |
| 21:37 |
* Markow |
apologizes for being off-topic |
| 21:37 |
benrob0329 |
Oh come on, now I want to visit Europe |
| 21:38 |
Markow |
benrob0329: If you visit Europe, you may not want to leave after that :) |
| 21:38 |
Markow |
But in my view and opinion, Central Europe is so much better as far as quality of life than Western Europe is |
| 21:38 |
juhdanad |
Well, this is the off-topic channel, isn't it? And I started the whole thing after all, ant I don't regret doing it. |
| 21:39 |
Markow |
juhdanad: It's a topic I enjoy very much actually |
| 21:40 |
juhdanad |
And I suppose you learned the Polish language and work there too. |
| 21:41 |
Markow |
juhdanad: Yes, I learned it after about 8 years, without any formal schooling, I picked it up, surprisingly |
| 21:42 |
Markow |
Now I'm working on learning German, a good language to know |
| 21:42 |
juhdanad |
Whoa, I wouldn't dare to live in a country which I don't now the language of. |
| 21:43 |
juhdanad |
*know |
| 21:43 |
Markow |
juhdanad: That's part of what made my entire experience here in Europe so wonderful, that challenge of learning a language I didn't know |
| 21:44 |
juhdanad |
And what brought you to the Minetest communtiy? |
| 21:44 |
Markow |
juhdanad: I enjoy the game :) |
| 21:45 |
Markow |
The creative part of it: Building, constructing, designing |
| 21:46 |
Markow |
It's a great form of innovative release into the virtual world |
| 21:46 |
juhdanad |
Well, my hobby is game programming. This is what I like most in Minetest - I can improve it and make other people happy. |
| 21:47 |
Markow |
Very nice! |
| 21:47 |
juhdanad |
If you're interested, this is my current project: #5186 |
| 21:48 |
Markow |
Thanks for the info |
| 21:48 |
Markow |
Are you in Budapest? |
| 21:48 |
juhdanad |
No, near Szeged, in Southern Hungary. |
| 21:48 |
Markow |
Ah, ok, I know about the city |
| 21:49 |
juhdanad |
I like this place because the sun there shines the most. |
| 21:49 |
Markow |
I'm 85 km south-east from Kraków, in a rural area |
| 21:49 |
Markow |
In the Carpathian Mountains |
| 21:50 |
Markow |
Just to let you know, the nearest large city to me, Tarnów, has very strong connections with Hungary |
| 21:51 |
Markow |
There was a General Jozef Bem, from Tarnów, who fought for Hungarian Independence a long time ago |
| 21:52 |
Markow |
His mausoleum is in an elegant park in Tarnów, also a statue of him in the Old Town district |
| 21:52 |
juhdanad |
I know him! |
| 21:52 |
juhdanad |
In Hungarian: Bem József |
| 21:52 |
Markow |
On ul. Krakowska, Hungary donated a gorgeous all-wooden gate to one of the parks there |
| 21:53 |
Markow |
The carvings on the gate are very intricate |

Markow, may I purchase a small flat in the country? But Schengen Zone would kick me out |
| 22:00 |
Markow |
OldCoder: Yes, you may. Real Estate laws (in Poland) do not forbid non-citizen foreigners from buying flats, which are a bargain here. |
| 22:01 |
Markow |
But for a foreignger to purchase land, especially farmland or forest, there are many restrictions. Thankfully, I purchased everything prior to these laws were enacted. |
| 22:01 |
Markow |
*foreigner |
| 22:01 |
OldCoder |
Markow, but Schengen Zone will not permit me to stay |
| 22:01 |
OldCoder |
Regrettably |
| 22:01 |
Markow |
OldCoder: There are many ways around it. |
| 22:02 |
OldCoder |
Then PM me your email address and in a few years perhaps I will inquire for advice |
| 22:02 |
Markow |
For example, if your US passport allows you to stay for only 6 months, you simply cross the border, have it stamped, and re-enter the country |
| 22:02 |
OldCoder |
I was supposed to move there in Fall 2012... |
| 22:02 |
OldCoder |
Oh, they don't like that :-) |
| 22:02 |
Markow |
They don't mind it |
| 22:02 |
OldCoder |
Schengen Zone rules no longer allow that |
| 22:02 |
OldCoder |
Cross border does not work |
| 22:02 |
Markow |
There is an English couple living near me, they don't have citizenship here, and they do that |
| 22:03 |
Markow |
They cross into Ukraine, which is very close by |
| 22:03 |
OldCoder |
I see |
| 22:03 |
Markow |
And they step over (literally) the border |
| 22:03 |
OldCoder |
PM me your email address and in a few years perhaps I will inquire for advice. |
| 22:03 |
OldCoder |
I must rebuild first |
| 22:03 |
Markow |
OldCoder: What city was you supposed to move to? |
| 22:04 |
OldCoder |
I don't recall. It was described to me as a nice small town. I have the name somewhere. |
