[09:52] <Kilos> morning all
[09:56] <theblazehen> hi Kilos 
[09:56] <Kilos> hi theblazehen all good?
[09:56] <Kilos> nice to have you back again
[09:57] <theblazehen> Yeah, I'm good and you Kilos ?
[09:57] <Kilos> good too ty
[09:57] <theblazehen> Just got 6 exams left :)
[09:57] <Kilos> nice
[09:59] <theblazehen> Bit stressed for 2nd math exam.. :/
[10:03] <Kilos> if you know your work there is no need to stress
[10:04] <theblazehen> Yeah. Thing is, no matter how hard I try, I just can't get euclidean geometry
[10:04] <Kilos> find gremble
[10:05] <Kilos> he the maths man
[10:05] <Kilos> he might be able to explain it in a easier way
[10:05] <Kilos> oh he is here
[10:05] <theblazehen> Think I should be fine. At least this paper includes more of other stuff, so shouldn't be too much of a problem
[10:05] <Kilos> grumbles help the lad
[10:06] <theblazehen> Previous year or 2 was mostly euclidean in paper 2
[10:06] <Kilos> ai!
[10:06] <Kilos> i dont even know what that is
[10:06] <theblazehen> Basically circles and triangles and lines inside circles
[10:06] <Kilos> you int pta as well hey
[10:06] <theblazehen> I hate circles
[10:07] <theblazehen> Yeah
[10:07] <Kilos> haha
[10:07] <Kilos> so is gremble
[10:07] <theblazehen> yeah.Met him at sfd
[10:07] <Kilos> oh yes
[10:13] <gremble> Hey Kilos 
[10:14] <gremble> Hey theblazehen What don't you get with Euclidean Geometry
[10:15] <theblazehen> gremble: Like, I know the theorems and stuff, and like I can do stuff individualy with one or two theorems involved.
[10:16] <gremble> Where do you struggle?
[10:16] <theblazehen> The problem comes in when they add like lots of lines, and you need to use different theorems, and like when they involve multiple circles etc
[10:16] <theblazehen> I just don't "see" how to get the answer
[10:17] <gremble> Ah alright. Yes, it gets a little difficult to discern the various problems. That is no problem on your understanding though, that is an experience problem
[10:17] <theblazehen> yeah. Thing is, I practise as much as I can - I often, even after like 30 min can't see the solution sometimes
[10:17] <gremble> I take really long to get experience intuituin, where fundamental reasoning over the problem is practically instantaneous. So different parts have different difficulties
[10:18] <gremble> theblazehen: That is me with Differential Equations :P
[10:18] <theblazehen> Yeah
[10:18] <theblazehen> ah, lol
[10:18] <gremble> I passed that by eating and sleeping DE's. People thought I was going crazy because I would not go anywhere without a set of questions to work out
[10:19] <gremble> Waiting on line? Doing problems :P
[10:22] <theblazehen> Heh, yeah
[10:23] <theblazehen> I actually got a really great way of concentrating :) Like, idk how to describe it. The kind of concentrating where you don't focus on anything else. Did my physics exam like that, finished in 1:30, most people in like 2:40
[10:23] <theblazehen> And could have studied the whole night through the day before if I wanted to, without being tired on the day :)
[10:23] <theblazehen> Think I'll do that again for the math exam
[10:41] <gremble> I wish I had the ability to concentrate like that
[10:42] <gremble> I've only been able to concentrate properly while using something like ritalin or THC
[10:42] <theblazehen> Heh, I used meds for that actually
[10:42] <theblazehen> Well, more _lack_ of meds :)
[11:16] <inetpro> good mornings
[11:17] <theblazehen> hi inetpro. Not so morning anymore :)
[11:17] <inetpro> oops
[11:19] <gremble> Hey inetpro 
[11:19] <inetpro> oh hello gremble as well
[11:20] <inetpro> hot in Pretoria again today
[11:21] <theblazehen> Yeah. Should go up to 31 today
[11:22] <inetpro> sadly the minimums are too low for any rains
[11:22] <gremble> Its horrible. I have a fever as well, so I'm not very impressed
[11:22] <theblazehen> Yeah, 12% chance of precipitation
[11:25] <inetpro> is it not a matter of 12% quantity of precipitation?
[11:25] <inetpro> or the probability of 12% quantity?
[11:25] <gremble> What is a 100% quantity of percipitation?
[11:26]  * inetpro get very confused with these forecasts
[11:26] <inetpro> never know what it really means
[11:26] <gremble> :P It is a probability of percipitation
[11:26] <theblazehen> I think 100% is 100% chance of rain
[11:27] <gremble> There are so many variables to take into account to predict rain, that they have to use statistical models
[11:27] <gremble> (most weather is statistical models)
[11:27] <theblazehen> gremble: Fun fact, there is a distributed computing project that models climate change
[11:28] <gremble> It's because weather is a chaos system, so it always has probabilistic outcomes, no matter how well you think you know the forces at play
[11:28] <gremble> theblazehen: And it is most of the time probably wrong :P
[11:28] <gremble> well no
[11:28] <gremble> sorry, I read that incorrectly
[11:28] <gremble> Climate change it can model
[11:28] <theblazehen> gremble: Well, it's planning long term, not short term weather
[11:28] <gremble> but not weather forcasting
[11:28] <theblazehen> yeah
[11:28] <theblazehen> Ran that for a while
[11:29] <theblazehen> www.climateprediction.net
[11:29] <inetpro> I see wikipedia talking about probability of precipitation (POP) usually expresses a combination of degree of confidence and areal coverage
[11:31] <theblazehen> Wow, I made vlc segfaullt
[11:33] <gremble> Odd. 
[11:34] <gremble> I'd think that projects like that ran extensive valgrind testing to prevent shit like that
[11:34] <theblazehen> gremble: Yeah, opened a mkv from the cli, crashes. Opening it from the media menu in vlc has no problem
[11:35] <theblazehen> Should I file a bug report you think?
[11:36] <gremble> Yup
[11:38] <gremble> My friend usually has me edit is documents and often says that he can learn a lot about writing from me, but he still vehemently fights with me whenever I tell him to not use the passive voice in writing or to not just list facts, etc. 
[11:39] <theblazehen> heh. Those kinds of people..
[15:30] <theblazehen> Welp, firefox crashed..
[15:30] <theblazehen> And I can't open any new windows of anything..
[15:31] <theblazehen> Oh.. Maximum number of clients reached?!
[15:31] <theblazehen> Something I can duckduckgo :)
[17:52] <inetpro> Kilos: why so quiet on this hot Saturday evening?
[17:53] <Kilos> just cruising
[17:53] <Kilos> flat on my back with the idiot box making a noise
[17:53] <inetpro> surely you must be enjoying this heat?
[17:53] <Kilos> i love it
[17:54] <Kilos> 35 tomorrow
[17:54] <inetpro> ai!
[17:55] <Kilos> i can ctach some UV's
[17:55] <Kilos> catch
[17:55] <inetpro> if only that helped to charge my batteries
[17:56] <Kilos> ai!
[17:56] <inetpro> I'm afraid my battery goes flat very quickly with such heat
[17:56] <Kilos> no loadshedding till april
[18:08] <theblazehen> Yay! Guess I can play with ZFS then :)
[18:55] <Kilos> night all . sleep tight
[19:25] <magespawn> good evening
[19:27] <theblazehen> Hi magespawn 
[19:33] <gremble> Hey magespawn 
[19:52] <magespawn> in and out, like a boomarang
[19:52] <gremble> It's how you roll
[19:59] <magespawn> i am cool like that
[21:04] <magespawn> bed time for me, good night all
[23:31] <Vlekkie> Whats the rules of this irc tho?
[23:31] <Vlekkie> And hey
[23:33] <gremble> Vlekkie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/TermsOfService These are the terms of service rules
[23:33] <gremble> informally, be polite and stay within the spirit of the channel :)
[23:33] <gremble> Hello
[23:34] <gremble> Most people are only online from like 08:00-ish to 22:00 or 23:00 though
[23:37] <Vlekkie> But take that it's off topic then?
[23:38] <gremble> it's offtopic? What is 'it's'?
[23:38] <Vlekkie> NM lol
[23:39] <gremble> Alright :)
[23:40] <Vlekkie> Gonna head to bed, cheers
[23:40] <gremble> Cheers
[23:40] <gremble> See you around
[23:41] <Vlekkie> One last thing, anyone know what the best irc client for Android is?
[23:42] <gremble> I've heard good things about irccloud. I use Andirc or something like that
[23:42] <gremble> I used to at least
[23:42] <Vlekkie> I'm using "Andchat" ATM and seems good , but wonder if there is better?
[23:42] <gremble> Oh, yes that is the one that I used
[23:43] <Vlekkie> Okay thanks cheers :)
