bofh: what is the appropriate citation style for #floatingpointwithatlas
<UmbralRaptor>
I think both APA and MLA have ways of citing tweets?
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: yes but this is clearly a collection, not a single tweet,
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: also it has a separate editor
<UmbralRaptor>

egg|zzz|egg meant to say: /me meows at bofh
<bofh>
Hrm. I was going to cite APA/MLA myself, but I don't think there's a citation format for tweet *collection*, OTOH it makes more sense to cite each relevant tweet individually anyhow?
<egg|zzz|egg>
bofh: yeah but I wanted to refer to the whole collection
<kmath>

bofh: Atlas, Fela, and Riley, Floating Point with Atlas (Lebanon, NH: Canon, 2017–)? :-p
<bofh>
Yeah I don't *think* there's a citation format, perhaps adapt the existing tweet citation format in the same manner that you'd cite an entire textbook/journal instead of an article/chapter?

<stephentyrone> (Again, exercise for the reader: can uniform_real_distribution return a value greater than the right endpoint? Why or why not?)

<xShadowx>
any math geniuses around i could borrow?;3 trying to make a formula f(x) similar to a sine wave / sin(x), but more 'squished' at the top/bottom https://www.desmos.com/calculator/qobwzo0aja g/h/i essentially make it, k does it all at once, so i essentially have the math, but is there a simpler way to do it? this is rather more cpu intensive than hoped :)
<SnoopJeDi>
xShadowx, what properties are you seeking? That looks like you could maybe get away with a sigmoid function and some branching
<xShadowx>
SnoopJeDi: see k, looks like a sine wqave, but more flat at 1 and 0, less transition time
<SnoopJeDi>
erm, I was thinking of mathematical properties
<xShadowx>
o.O?
<SnoopJeDi>
what are you using this for?
<xShadowx>
math to change a soundwave
<xShadowx>
need to switch between ound a and b, squarewave too sharp, sine too gentle, trying to go midway heh
<SnoopJeDi>
see also: easing functions, although those are probably a little too sophisticated because they're commonly implemented as cubic Bézier curves
<xShadowx>
doesnt that just curve once? i mean like sin(x) i can feed in any number and it keeps going up and down, sigmoid looks like it curves once, then stays to infinity ?
<SnoopJeDi>
yes, but it's easy to cut it off at a certain point, paste a mirrored copy on the end, and then do the modulus arithmetic to make it repeat forever
<xShadowx>
ah k
<SnoopJeDi>
basically no different from writing a square wave function
<xShadowx>
back i go to poking at math thx :)
