Well, first day at work is tomorrow

And they didn't tell me what time it is :|

I'm pretty sure I heard either 10:00 or 10:30, but not like, entirely sure if that's what that was for, and half an hour is still a big difference

It'll prob just be training, but paid training is still money and money is cool

I have 2 bits to waste what do I do

for a QR code?

yeah

first bit: was the person who made the qr code lyxal (honesty policy - users tick whether they are lyxal)
second bit: is this qr code encoding a rickroll?

okay no kidding that's brilliant

genius

thank you

1:46 PM

yay planning done

red is for positioning and orientation, dark blue is for metadata, bluish-green is the message length, and purple and yellow are for data.

In theory 64 bits of data

@mathcat I'd just use them for extra error correction

Parity bits

It probably would be better, yes, but I can't create a QR code without a rickroll reference, can I?

programming time!

<whisper>Don't tell Ginger, but I'm going to use JS</whisper>

2:56 PM

@mathcat YOU WHAT

I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY THEY WERE GOING TO USE JS WHO WAS IT

It might've been me

IT WAS YOU I SAW IT

I'll try opencv.js

AAAAA

JUST MAKE IT IN PYTHON SO I CAN READ IT

and for compatibility

Since when is ginger allergic to js?

@Ginger well okay

2:57 PM

see? reasons!

I'll port it to JS later (maybe)

ok good

Ffs you'll wake the spiders with all y'all's yelling and screaming

never wake up the spiders

spiders shouldn't live here if they don't like it

~~two kinds of people~~

2:59 PM

@Ginger not here

In the desert

or there

I have JS-sense, whenever someone's about to abuse JS I know about it

@RPI experts: Are there any major differences between Raspberry 3 and 4?

YES

do you want a list?

um yes

okay one minute

3:01 PM

A tuple would be preferable

Pi 4:
- Has more powerful CPU
- Has better GPU with support for newer OpenGL
- Has high speed Ethernet, Bluetooth, and WiFi
- Has 2 high speed USB ports
- Uses USB-C power plug (and has much higher power consumption)
- Runs at higher temperature
- Can have much more RAM
- Has 2 4kp30 micro-HDMI outputs
- Is harder, better, faster, and stronger

@mathcat does that answer your question

thanks

no pobrem

huh why are all raspberry pi's out of stock?

~~do you have something to do with that~~

3:10 PM

~~of course not~~

@mathcat chip shortages

Is it temporary?

nvm

@mathcat what happened to SE Nitro: The Movie?

ah I gave it up

openshot decided to stop working

SE Nitro could've been much better than it was

I feel like somebody should remake it, except maybe with a more concrete plot

sadly the only person who can replicate radvylf's art stile is radvylf himself, and he will almost certainly not want to help

and I don't blame him, the current se nitro comics are a tad cringy near the start

but there was so much that never was

it deserved better

3:33 PM

mhmm

okay so do you have ANY idea how you're going to implement the code scanner? because having implemented something similar I can give you some pointers

I do have some

I'll ask if I need help, thanks

okie dokie, good luck

@mathcat also: how did you make that annotated photo? I want to make one for bytecodes

3:53 PM

TIL that the source for Windows Calculator is available on GitHub
