11:00 PM

@BernardoMeurer oh no

What did they do to you

@BernardoMeurer I guess I could take a look, but if it's set as private, it's a bit of a hassle

Bernardo Meurer

@alarge No hassle, what's your GH name?

11:20 PM

@BernardoMeurer alarge1

Bernardo Meurer

@alarge Shared :)

@YashasSamaga Don't drink coffee in the morning if you're tired, it'll make you jittery

Go for a run or something

Bernardo Meurer

@alarge The new, not shitty code, is on the struct branch

Aí @DanielSank Qual vai do teu desgosto por C?

Vamo lá a lingaugem já não é má

@BernardoMeurer No me gusta.

Bernardo Meurer

Paralelepípedo

11:36 PM

@BernardoMeurer Portugués?

Bernardo Meurer

@SirCumference Português

Solo hablo español :(

Bernardo Meurer

Yes

@BernardoMeurer Are you constantly allocating and freeing stuff on the heap (presumably the buffers could be allocated once as part of the struct)?

Estoy aprendiéndolo

Bernardo Meurer

11:37 PM

@alarge Not sure, I am a noob at using structs like this

@SirCumference Eso es bueno.

Espanol es util.

@DanielSank Estoy de acuerdo, pero no conozco alguien para practicar.

I think it's more natural to say ...per no conozco a nadie para practicar.

@EmilioPisanty?

@DanielSank See? :P

I used to be a lot better in high school

@SirCumference Goodness, me too.

11:39 PM

@SirCumference It is 5:30 AM and I have slept for 1 hour.

Back then I had a girlfriend from Ecuador so I actually heard Spanish semi-regularly.

Bernardo Meurer

@YashasSamaga Dude

Go have a beer

4 hours for the exam

I don't drink :p

I am pure and clean

@DanielSank So you learned it in high school?

Bernardo Meurer

Well, no wonder you don't sleep!

11:40 PM

@YashasSamaga You'll be fine!

@BernardoMeurer Podria ser que no me gusta C porque no lo uso.

@SirCumference Well, I started learning it waaaay before that.

@SirCumference Yea, this is not the first time it is happening.

I Chilean lady used to take care of my and another boy some times.

She would use Spanish words and phrases.

Insomnia problems

Then in 3rd grade I had a real class.

Bernardo Meurer

11:41 PM

@DanielSank Meh, talvez, mas eu acho mais provável que seja só você sendo preconceituoso mesmo

exam time makes it worse

@YashasSamaga Preaching to the choir :/

@DanielSank That's cool. Part of my high school trig class was only in Spanish

So I learned quite a bit

I was hoping to score 330+. I am now going to settle with 2580+

*280

Going to do the conceptual qustions first

@YashasSamaga Don't lose confidence!

@BernardoMeurer I'm really having trouble understanding this ;)

11:42 PM

@YashasSamaga You studied for this

If I solve a Q three times, I'll get three different answers

Knock it down

So did 2017 actually delete his account?

@YashasSamaga The best thing to do is have confidence. Remember how much you studied.

@SirCumference False. He's speaking Portuguese, a.k.a. drunken Spanish.

11:43 PM

JEE people: I don't like you, but good luck. You've worked hard.

7

@DanielSank Meant that to Yashas :P

@SirCumference I am fine lol. Scoring 360/360 is as good as 280/360

Bernardo Meurer

I want to know who is the motherless bastard that stars this goofball whenever he calls Portuguese "Drunken spanish"

I'll still get into the college I want

the first stage is for NITs

National Inssitute of Technology

the second stage JEE Advanced is like undergraduate 1st final sem

JEE is coming up?

11:44 PM

@heather ETA 3 hours

@heather Tomorrow

It's today

3 hours lol

whoa

Or, yeah, today

11:45 PM

no idea

good luck everyone!

@Yashas good luck =) you'll do great

It will be funny if I score less than what I scored last year

@YashasSamaga You have to wait a year to retake it?

Yes.

Dang...

Our standardized tests are given every 2 months or so

yea

11:46 PM

How do the tests not leak?

There's probably 10 million of you taking this test

at least!

@0celouvsky It is government controlled.

@0celouvsky 1.6 million

@YashasSamaga Governments leak shit all the time

in one day

@YashasSamaga wat

India has a billion people

1.6 mil isn't a lot

yup

the 1 billion consists of people of all ages

11:47 PM

of course

I'd figure there are more than 1.6 mil kids

there are around 10 mil 12th grade kids I guess

out of the 10 mil, 5 mil are commerce people

so only a small fraction take this?

they don't take JEE

they take CAT

2 mil people take IAS

jesus christ

1.5 mil take JEE

11:48 PM

there's a test for everything!

1.5 million take NEET

JEE is for Engineering

NEET does not sound like a neat test

NEET is for medical

IAS stands for Indian Administrative Service

@heather JEE, I agree

@heather I was going to teach you some math but that comment is just bad

11:49 PM

@0celouvsky heheh

remember that time we just did math puns in here?

no

@SirCumference assisted, as I recall

which time?

I purged it from my mind

JEE Advanced 2015 Paper Try to solve it!

11:50 PM

I think I saved it as a conversation, it was so long

@YashasSamaga ::looks at first question:: i am so glad i don't have to take that

lol

Almost all the questions are multiple correct

you get 4 options

any number of them can be correct

you need to mark ALL the correct options to get +4 marks

lol

if you miss or mark a wrong option then you get -2

wow

"negative 2"

11:52 PM

like, 4-2 or -2?

nobody is going to guess

@heather -2

!?

if you get one right and one wrong

your total marks is 4 - 2 = 2

oh.

@heather what math have you been learning lately

11:53 PM

if you get 2 wrong and zero right, you get -4 lol

@0celouvsky, discrete mathematics

I can teach you something fun

@heather what on Earth is that?

a hodgepodge of stuff

you get 3 hours for over 60-80 super hard questions

and there are people who score 500/520

@0celouvsky boolean algebra, combinatorics, logic, set theory, proofs - it's used a lot in computer science

11:54 PM

those who get rank 1 are robots

but MIT and Harvard accept JEE rank 1

@heather Oh? We can talk about the isomorphism problem in measure theory

and reject JEE rank 2

finding isomorphism classes of measureable systems which are Boolean algebras

funny people

turns out you can represent Boolean algebras as measure systems on locally compact Hausdorff spaces

something like that

11:55 PM

this is going to sound really dumb, but i'm still in chapter 1 of the book, which is about set theory and properties of numbers

so i don't know really anything about boolean algebra =/

@YashasSamaga that sounds kinda dumb.

You'd need to read 2/3 of Munkres before we could do that other thing anyway

yep, definitely not 2/3 of the way through Munkres

@heather I can teach you about polynomial curve fitting tho

Bernardo Meurer

@heather Go learn C

@0celouvsky sounds interesting...what's the prerequisite?

11:57 PM

@heather For the proof? A good understanding of single variable analysis

But I wouldn't show you the proof

@BernardoMeurer actually, there's this conference at a university near me that one of my teachers is bringing a bunch of people to, and there's a class i can/will be taking on C =)

It requires Dini's theorem too, which is kind of hard

Bernardo Meurer

@heather Please go

PLEASE

@BernardoMeurer i am

Bernardo Meurer

Learning C at an early age will change your brain

11:57 PM

i already signed up for it

Bernardo Meurer

You'll start to think in pointers

I have already learned Python, does that interfere?

<3 Python

@BernardoMeurer I think some people are forever damaged because they didn't learn how to program early

4

Bernardo Meurer

Nope, C will just show you what's beyond

@0celouvsky I actually agree with that

Why would you disagree?

We agree on lots of things

Bernardo Meurer

11:58 PM

I disagree with most things you say]

bullshit

Bernardo Meurer

Agreed

@dmckee Tried to implement your method for getting a random cell on a board, Could you take a look here, I'm not certain i'm doing it right
