06:12 AM polprog: aandrew: hm thats interesting, i wonder if the radio blob is being uploaded every time it's flashed
06:24 AM polprog: the LC in LCDs is not water based, so freezing does not cause it to expand like ice does
06:24 AM polprog: that should not hurt them, they might change to a different phase with temperature and stop working as LCs but as soon as they are back they should start working again
06:24 AM polprog: the TN display in my car stereo sometimes does that on cold mornings, where the reaction time of the segments gets several sec long, but as soon as the car heats up it goes back to normal
10:19 AM rue_mohr: so
10:19 AM rue_mohr: I was almost able to connect the dots on the first AI doc you made me there
11:08 AM aandrew: polprog: it usually is uploaded every time, yes
02:55 PM polprog: rue_mohr: what is it that you are missing? happy to help
02:55 PM polprog: aandrew: hm, might be interesting to reverse that blob
03:10 PM rue_mohr: I have to fix the hood release on my truck, the cable came off UNDER THE HOOD
03:21 PM rue_mohr: turns out its not hard
03:21 PM polprog: oof
03:21 PM polprog: the hood release lever in my audi broke years ago
03:21 PM rue_mohr: you can push on the stage 1 release spring from just under the lip
03:21 PM polprog: i have a clamp attached to the wire that goes there
03:30 PM rue_mohr: how does my program, going from 1 to 127, find 12 matches for segment patterns for the digits 0-9?
03:30 PM rue_mohr: 1 ( B EFG)
03:30 PM rue_mohr: 1 ( B DEFG)
03:30 PM rue_mohr: 1 ( BC E G)
03:30 PM rue_mohr: 1 ( BC EFG)
03:30 PM rue_mohr: 1 ( BCDE G)
03:31 PM rue_mohr: 1 ( BCDEFG)
03:31 PM rue_mohr: 1 (AB EFG)
03:31 PM rue_mohr: 1 (AB DEFG)
03:31 PM rue_mohr: 1 (ABC E G)
03:31 PM rue_mohr: 1 (ABC EFG)
03:31 PM rue_mohr: 1 (ABCDE G)
03:31 PM rue_mohr: 1 (ABCDEFG)
03:31 PM rue_mohr: wtf
03:31 PM Tom_L: hex?
03:31 PM Tom_L: :)
03:31 PM rue_mohr: and where is 0?
03:32 PM Tom_L: blank
03:32 PM rue_mohr: their supposed to be 7 segment patterns for 0-9
03:32 PM rue_mohr: there is no blank, its just patterns for 0-9
03:32 PM Tom_L: talk to the author
03:32 PM polprog: what does it match against?
03:33 PM Tom_L: 0-9
03:33 PM polprog: but how
03:33 PM rue_mohr: so
03:33 PM rue_mohr: it generates the segment patterns for 0-9 using a 7 segment decoder array
03:34 PM rue_mohr: then runs from 1-127 checking for patterns
03:34 PM rue_mohr: oh
03:34 PM rue_mohr: ok wait yes, I'm interpreting restults wrong
03:34 PM rue_mohr: cause its looking for subpatterns
03:35 PM rue_mohr: aka, the segments b&c occur a 6 times
03:36 PM Tom_L: are the segments like this:
03:36 PM Tom_L: ____
03:36 PM Tom_L: | |
03:36 PM Tom_L: |____|
03:36 PM Tom_L: | |
03:36 PM Tom_L: |____|
03:36 PM rue_mohr: 7 semgnts
03:36 PM rue_mohr: A
03:37 PM rue_mohr: F B
03:37 PM rue_mohr: G
03:37 PM rue_mohr: E C
03:37 PM rue_mohr: D
07:22 PM rue_shop2: you can lose C and D on a 7 segment and still be able to work out what the number is
07:27 PM aandrew: wow one week to get an ali order here
07:27 PM aandrew: ordered on 21st, arrived today
07:27 PM rue_shop2: yea, canada post shoves all the china stuff to theback
07:27 PM rue_shop2: thats why they wont show you the tracking anymore
07:27 PM rue_shop2: it takes about 3 days to get to canada, the rest is them not doing their job
07:28 PM aandrew: well I'm on the left coast now and in CA so I guess that helps a lot
07:28 PM aandrew: and yeah canada post is a pain in the ass for packages it seems
07:29 PM aandrew: got my dad to send me some more orthodontic elastics for my son, was so much easier to walk 50 feet from the orthodontist to the ups store and send it there using slowest option than to piss around with canada post
07:39 PM rue_shop2: there is a simple equation for D WHAT is it!!!!
07:40 PM rue_mohr: you can lose C and D on a 7 segment and still be able to work out what the number is
09:53 PM rue_mohr: oh I wasted my whole day on this stupid puzzle
09:59 PM Tom_L: but you wanted to
09:59 PM rue_mohr: I want to find a way of doing it
10:00 PM rue_mohr: it would be awesome
10:00 PM rue_mohr: but I want to get things done on my projects
10:00 PM rue_mohr: and now I got sprayer orders abcking up
10:00 PM rue_mohr: and I'm just frustrated
10:01 PM rue_mohr: I never feel like doing anything when I'm frustrated
10:01 PM rue_mohr: and my lack of ability to get everything done is just making me frustrated
11:32 PM VanUnamed: hi rue_mohr !
