14:49 CheapSeth Exio4: what are your arguments (saying python sucks)?
14:49 reactor joined #minetest
14:51 Exio4 CheapSeth: its syntax, its weird OOP (that is not that OOP), and a lot of other things
14:51 Exio4 it has nice things anyway
14:51 Exio4 like having nice funcional "things" without fucking up everything
14:54 proller """sux"""
14:56 Exio4 what?
14:58 proller but python is good language for housewifes
14:59 proller and hydrocephalus
15:00 CheapSeth Well, it's true, but it's a bit extreme to say it «sucks»
15:02 Hirato Lua reminds me of basic therefor it sucks
15:02 Exio4 lua has a very nice side, you code in the way you want to
15:03 proller lua sucksier than even python
15:03 Exio4 sucksier?
15:03 Exio4 tf is that?
15:03 Hirato it's right next to bestest in the oxford dictionary
15:03 proller if 0 then print('w'..'at??') end
15:13 Exio4 anyway
15:13 Exio4 * > C++
15:13 Hirato this just in, Exio4 likes PHP
15:14 Hirato more than C++
15:14 Exio4 PHP shouldn't be a language
15:15 CheapSeth You seriously think C++ is what the n00bs call a «bad langage» or are you trolling?
15:15 Hirato C++ is a pretty horrendous language, especially if you use STL or Boost :p
15:19 CheapSeth It's complicated, but it doesn't have any equivalent language

15:39 Exio4 CheapSeth: because it has everything you might think
15:39 Exio4 it is so bloated it is shit
15:43 CheapSeth You mean, in the standard library?
15:44 Exio4 the specs itself
15:44 CheapSeth It doesn't make sense

16:14 webshinra joined #minetest
16:16 webshinra Did I hear someone trolling C++?
16:17 reactor No wonder. People do seem to prefer languages that haven't matured enough to the mature and developed ones.
16:19 webshinra like hum, using Cobol instead of C ?
16:20 reactor ...more likely Java instead of FORTRAN or C.
16:21 CheapSeth_ I don't understand the problem with C++
16:21 reactor Oh. And C++, as OOP in general, is overrated.
16:21 CheapSeth_ It was something like "It has everything you might think, it is so bloated it is shit"
16:22 CheapSeth_ I didn't understood
16:22 reactor System programming = C.
16:22 reactor Computations = FORTRAN.
16:23 webshinra not really.
16:23 reactor ...unless you do really need something interpreted.
16:23 ShadowBot joined #minetest
16:23 reactor Why not? Both have matured compilters and tools, and a lot of ready solutions.
16:24 webshinra yes
16:25 reactor And hey, they're mostly platform-independent, too. You just need to port the compiler. Jave has the same problem, but writing a virtual machine is probably a more complex task than writing a compiler.
16:25 webshinra in fact, C does not have real avantage over c++, even for system programming
16:27 webshinra reactor: and in fact, porting the virtual machine implie porting the compiler :P
16:29 reactor Includes it, yes.
16:30 reactor Doubles, if not more, the amount of work.
16:31 webshinra And a lot of compatibilities-break between version of the JVM
16:33 webshinra but in fact, java was written to abstract hardware and run the same code on a lot of µ-architecture
16:33 webshinra not really to be portable agaist higtly complex OS
16:35 reactor So ideally, Java VM should be run on bare metal, and an OS should be developed for running within it?
16:35 reactor Pff. We do already have a good abstraction layer for our hardware. It's called UNIX.
16:36 sfan5 reactor: some arm cores support running Java, this technique is called 'Jazelle'
16:38 reactor ...but in UNIX, programs are run on the actual hardware, which varies. Still, if whatever the program is can be compiled, why not?
16:40 webshinra in fact, praticly no-one is actualy running UNIX.
16:42 Tux[Qyou] joined #minetest
16:43 webshinra but, reactor if the question is « Is java a good language for video game programming » the answer is «probably not» :p
16:45 reactor I wonder for what it's good, at all.
16:45 reactor Whatever uses it, causes problems.
16:48 webshinra 10 years ago, I would have disagree :p
16:49 webshinra but not anymore

17:01 jsnmtth Are you having to program in java today john_minetest?
17:03 jsnmtth That is a strange one.
17:04 Tuxedo[Qyou] joined #minetest
17:06 jsnmtth Are you working on a project with it?
17:07 Calinou <john_minetest> java is a useless language. It is even more useless than useless languages.
17:07 Calinou because everyone has the time to do C++. (sarcasm)
17:07 jsnmtth lol
17:08 Calinou it has many more cool features though
17:08 jsnmtth We use java to break out of the browser sandbox and control hardware on the client ...
17:08 jsnmtth That and to integrate with people that don't understand their own software enough to support it.
17:10 jsnmtth What are the limits of the mintest world?  I noticed it is significantly deeper than I expected it to be.
17:11 jsnmtth How about horizontally?
17:12 jsnmtth Ohh ...  I see, is there work being done to expand it?
17:14 JackGruff joined #minetest
17:16 us`0gb I don't think any work is being done to expand it. Most people seem to figure that amount of space is enough. No one even reaches the edges unless they specifically try to do so.
17:17 PenguinDad nore worked on something like that
17:19 proller https://github.com/Novatux/minetest/tree/unlimited-map
17:20 kahrl it wouldn't have made sense to expand it at all previously because the floating point errors would make the game unplayable if you're far from the center
17:20 kahrl (if you've seen far lands or bust you know what those are)
17:20 proller ше фдкуфвн ашчув
17:20 proller it already fxed
17:20 kahrl indeed, that's why "recently"
17:20 kahrl previously*
17:20 proller https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/062de11b4cff30861dd4e9eb56f131d821f34b51
17:21 kahrl yep
17:21 proller and need to broke all protocols and formats for it
17:21 kahrl there are more problems though, like coordinate computations in lua
17:22 kahrl those can't be fixed as easily
17:22 jsnmtth I can't access that repo because "git-upload-pack not found", but thank you so much for the info.
17:22 proller make c++ functions with lua api for this computations
17:23 kahrl proller: uh, what protocols were broken?
17:23 kahrl I don't see those touched in the commit at all
17:23 proller incompatible anything
17:23 proller when coords will be in int32
17:25 Exio4 if you really want an 'infinite world', you'll need to use chunks with int64 blocks inside and then shit like that
17:25 kahrl still not infinite :P
17:25 Exio4 yeah
17:25 VanessaE didn't I advocate for a "just go for overkill and be done with it" like, almost 2 years ago? :P
17:25 jsnmtth Exio4: That was what I was thinking.  I'm not super familier with mintest and has assumed that was how it was done.
17:26 kahrl you could use bigints on a turing machine's infinite tape
17:26 Exio4 but the best you could get would be cordinates for chunks, with x = 0 first chunk, x = 1 second chunk in the x axis.. etc, and that each chunk has ... a hell lot of blocks inside
17:26 Exio4 and each block has 16x16x16 nodes
17:26 Jordach Exio4, you mean a foruth dimension table
17:26 Exio4 somehow like that
17:27 Exio4 but with added dimensiones
17:27 Exio4 and more
17:27 Exio4 AND MORE SO WE HAVE REAL INFINITE WORLDS
17:27 Exio4 inb4 25gb per block
17:27 grrk-bzzt joined #minetest
17:28 jsnmtth Is the entire world generation on initialization currently?
17:28 webshinra what's the voxel representation in minetest?
17:28 VanessaE no
17:28 webshinra i mean, the data structure
17:28 Exio4 "on initialization"?
17:28 VanessaE the world is generated in realtime, as you explore it
17:28 Exio4 oh
17:28 Exio4 pre-generating the world
17:28 jsnmtth When I create and load a new world... does it do the procedural calculations on-load, or does it dynamicaly generates parts of the world as it is explored?
17:30 webshinra https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace
17:31 webshinra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_%28programming_language%29
17:32 VanessaE kahrl: did you see sfan5's patches to the C++ mapper?
17:32 VanessaE he's trying to make it leveldb-capable
17:33 Calinou webshinra French spotted
17:33 sfan5 s/trying/succeded/
17:33 VanessaE (and perhaps add some abstraction for the libmtmap thing too)
17:33 sfan5 kahrl: https://github.com/sfan5/minetest-mapper-cpp
17:33 VanessaE oh he's here \o/ )
17:33 sfan5 VanessaE: abstraction is done already
17:33 webshinra Calinou: french speaker at last.
17:33 sfan5 but I may need to change some thing for libmtmap
17:33 sfan5 libmtmap would make sqlite3 slower
17:33 VanessaE cool
17:33 VanessaE guess I missed the memo :)
17:34 sfan5 (because I need to get blocks between some numbers)
17:35 VanessaE sfan5: there's one glitch in the C++ mapper that would need fixed some day:  if the map database is open and has a read (or write?) lock on it, the mapper aborts that section and writes a white stripe to the image at that point
17:35 proller us`0gb, on road server road built to 25000+ , no problem to reach 31k
17:36 VanessaE (I think the python mapper just keeps trying to read the locked-out blocks until it succeeds, hence it never has those "holes" in the map)
17:36 sfan5 VanessaE: didn't https://github.com/sfan5/minetest-mapper-cpp/commit/c497397111451ac09d015b43560d3fdf0be79c70 fix that?
17:36 VanessaE AH
17:36 VanessaE I didn't see that either
17:36 VanessaE told you I didn't get the memo :D
17:37 sfan5 iqualfragile pointed me to that commit in mireq's repo
17:37 us`0gb proller: Okay, my bad then.
17:37 sfan5 I didn't send you a memo
17:37 sfan5 there is nothing to (not) get :P
17:37 sfan5 s/:P//
17:37 us`0gb That's a pretty high road though. It doesn't seem practical for transportation.
17:38 VanessaE nice

17:53 jsnmtth proller: That is an amazing idea!
17:56 proller us`0gb, 0,0,0 start, goes to 25k by x, top point at 11k by y, you can run with fast to end (20+ minutes)

21:40 specing VanessaE: how fast is the mese sand pneumatic tube supposed to work?
21:41 VanessaE should be within a matter of a second or so if the dropped item is within the control radius
21:41 VanessaE mese sand tubes have a radius you can configure with a right-click; not sure what the default is
21:42 VanessaE depends though on how much else your server is doing e.g. other sources of lag
21:46 specing does the item have to be dropped?

22:38 TUB ?
22:39 PilzAdam TUB, what?
22:40 TUB what is mem.sda_prev = false;
22:40 TUB in luacontroller?
22:41 PilzAdam ah, you are talking about Lua controllers
22:41 TUB yes
22:41 TUB i am not familiar with lua syntax
22:42 PilzAdam is it a syntax or semantic question?
22:44 TUB uh both
22:44 PilzAdam syntactially it just means, "set the field sda_prev of the table mem to false"
22:44 TUB so what is mem?
22:44 PilzAdam dunno, I havent used the Lua controller in a while
22:45 PilzAdam probably some kind of memory of the controller, to store stuff
22:46 TUB ohh
22:46 TUB ok thanks
22:46 TUB sda_prev is a variable?
22:47 PilzAdam yea, one field in the table
22:47 TUB ohh
