[00:48:22] <takyon> it's the study of poverty. you need to afford a labcoat to do that

[01:36:41] <paulej72> outlets are sexist

[01:51:04] <nick> now it might just be the websites and such that i read, but i'd really like one day where people decided not to take some bait and write an article or some other bullshit about gender equality/feminism/sjw's
[01:52:09] <nick> i see far more bitching about people bitching about the lack of equality than i do see people bitching about sexism or some other form of intolerance itself
[01:53:54] <nick> and also, it may be the places and people i have to deal with in the 'real world' that i see far more people being sexist, racist and homophobic than i do see people getting their feelings hurt about it. sure, i'm not on a college campus, but there's equal opportunities in the workplace to be intolerant assholes apparently.

[01:57:40] <nick> i am aware, but to even give oxygen to the question only pushes people further into the camps they're already in
[01:58:28] <paulej72> The only reason I brought this up was I was bored.
[01:58:40] <paulej72> I couldn't care less
[01:58:42] <nick> wasn't an attack at you, paulej72
[01:58:45] <nick> just a general observation
[01:59:00] <paulej72> I totally agree with you
[01:59:07] <nick> that i read a lot more about people getting their feelings hurt, by other people getting their feelings hurt
[01:59:17] <nick> than i do from the people who apparently got upset in the first place
[01:59:21] <nick> i think it's fucking retarded
[02:00:06] <paulej72> we need to hand out lube to cut down on the butt hurt
[02:01:12] <nick> might be an idea
[02:01:51] <nick> i guess it comes back to my 'preaching to the choir' comment from a while ago, everyone's just waiting for the high-5's from people who already agree with them

[12:20:10] * Subsentient pukes in crutchy 's red wine, stirs it in with a little spoon
[12:20:55] <Subsentient> $tell arti I miss the good old days of "Subsentient pukes at arti, arti opens mouth"
[12:20:55] <aqu4> I'll tell them in a PM next time I see 'em.

[12:23:51] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: BTW, I wanted to tell you, now that you're here, that I have the deepest respect and admiration for your championship of freedom in general. I share it, I just like whacking assholes.
[12:24:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> ye gads i slept my ass off.
[12:24:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, cheers.

[12:24:15] <Bender> Added quote 690
[12:24:27] * crutchy protects his asshole
[12:24:48] <Subsentient> lol
[12:25:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> yall ever notice that no american cartoon cats have assholes but japanese cats all do?
[12:25:30] <Subsentient> I meant, I believe in freedom deeply as well and Buzzardz has earned my respect, but I do stuff like quiet Gravis because I feel he deserves to be shown that being a cunt doesn't pay.
[12:25:35] <crutchy> !grab TheMightyBuzzard
[12:25:35] <Bender> Added quote 691
[12:25:50] <Subsentient> So I got banned from imgur.
[12:26:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, that's why you say "shaddup, Gravis, you cunt"
[12:26:05] <Subsentient> I was having too much fun posting nasal cholesteatoma gifs and weird shit like that.
[12:26:16] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: If you didn't notice, that doesn't work.
[12:26:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> no but it's fun
[12:26:23] <crutchy> Subsentient, the most important thing you can do to protect freedom is make sure that unpopular speech is allowed to flourish
[12:26:30] <Subsentient> I can't break my foot off in his ass because he's too far away.
[12:26:32] <crutchy> cos popular speech doesn't need protecting
[12:26:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't get mad, get annoying.
[12:26:59] <Subsentient> I have no problem with views I find abhorrent, I have issue with personal attacks and deliberate attempts to piss someone off.
[12:27:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, that's internet trolls for you. they gotta have their fun same as me.
[12:27:32] <crutchy> i would recommend avoiding politics then :p
[12:27:42] <Subsentient> Yeah, already concluded that.
[12:28:01] <Subsentient> I'm not good at speaking on-the-spot. I'd be Mr. Teleprompter, but at least I'd make damn sure I wrote all my own speeches.
[12:29:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, ditto. minions can do research but i'd have to corroborate it and do the wording myself.
[12:29:03] <crutchy> "good morning america! today... we will all celebrate freedom with a bowl of puke mixed with peanut butter, and pray to the gerbil lord!"
[12:29:08] <Subsentient> Well I got an hour to kill before I take my laptop to Dennys to try and get some work done.
[12:29:19] <Subsentient> crutchy: I like your attitude!
[12:29:30] <Subsentient> !grab crutchy
[12:29:30] <Bender> Added quote 692
[12:29:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> work? on a friday? how utterly unamerican.
[12:29:58] <crutchy> i gotta work on monday, which is a public holiday here
[12:29:58] <Subsentient> I have no job, by "work" I mean my FOSS projects and self-betterment programming and studies.
[12:30:04] <crutchy> labour day of all things
[12:30:12] <Subsentient> So I'd probably do it on a Sunday but the busses run like crap.
[12:30:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, call in sick
[12:30:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> s/sick/bored/
[12:30:30] <exec> <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, call in bored
[12:30:34] <crutchy> i don't get sick leave
[12:30:41] <crutchy> i just get a heap of annual leave
[12:30:52] <Subsentient> That's some bullshit right there.
[12:31:00] <AndyTheAbsurd> take a cab to work on Sunday - then expense the cab.
[12:31:10] * AndyTheAbsurd wishes he had a heap of annual leave
[12:31:22] <Subsentient> But you know, part of why I am a socialist is that I accept the bitter reality that automation will put MOST people out of a job, and I'll probably live to see it.
[12:31:25] <Subsentient> Unfortunately.
[12:31:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> fine, call in 🖕
[12:31:33] <crutchy> instead of 4 weeks annual leave, 2 weeks sick leave and 2 weeks of public holidays, i just get 8 weeks of annual leave
[12:31:48] <crutchy> can't complain really
[12:32:10] <Subsentient> The only way to keep a society functioning once automation has replaced most jobs is to completely gut and rebuild the livelihood system.
[12:32:21] <Subsentient> No more money as we know it.
[12:32:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, you can always complain. it's your flying spaghetti monster given right to be a miserable bastard.
[12:32:28] <crutchy> lol
[12:32:32] <crutchy> nah they pay me
[12:32:42] <crutchy> never bite the hand that feeds you
[12:32:53] <Subsentient> Half the time I'm a deist, others I'm a nihilist.
[12:33:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, never gonna happen. humans are too good at coming up with new stuff to ever replace anything but manual labor with machines.
[12:33:18] <Subsentient> Just wait until Skynet gets here.
[12:33:37] <crutchy> then we'll need laborers to grow food again
[12:33:42] <Subsentient> lol
[12:33:47] <crutchy> cos mechanized farming will be fukked
[12:34:02] <Subsentient> Well the thing is, AI development is already working to take away jobs from the thinkers as well as the laborers.
[12:34:12] <Subsentient> So go to college as long as you want, but a computer will do it faster.
[12:34:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean think about it. henry ford didn't put the nation outa work with his assembly line, he made cars more affordable. ditto robots building cars.
[12:34:37] * TheMightyBuzzard scoffs at AI
[12:34:37] <crutchy> the biggest problem with the AI doomsday scenario is that all it takes is a virus to fuck an entire computer network
[12:35:00] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: You will see a world where there are no employees at Walmart. Just Rooma'esque machines stocking shelves and rolling boxes around.
[12:35:07] <CoolHand> TheMightyBuzzard: big difference between humans on a assy line and robots building everything..
[12:35:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> computers are good at math. if you can't reduce it to math, at least boolean math, computers cannot do it worth a shit.
[12:35:40] <crutchy> china already has huge factories with almost no people in them
[12:35:42] <Subsentient> Not conventional computers, no.
[12:35:49] <Subsentient> but we already got google deep dream.
[12:36:01] <crutchy> Subsentient, s/deep/wet/
[12:36:03] <exec> <crutchy> <Subsentient> but we already got google wet dream.
[12:36:09] <Subsentient> lol
[12:36:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's human written algorithms and they still do a poor job.
[12:36:19] <Subsentient> They won't forever, buzzy.
[12:36:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> they will. and i'll tell ya why.
[12:36:45] <crutchy> cuz turrists!
[12:37:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> as a species we function as a neural net and can do amazing things. programmers however function as individuals or small groups and do not have this advantage.
[12:37:30] <Subsentient> From one of the few spiritual perspectives I do have, I'd be unsurprised if there are one or two supercomputers with a soul out there.
[12:37:38] <crutchy> would be cool to see computers start refactoring their own code to improve it
[12:37:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> thus humanity will always be able to make better decisions quicker than any computer.
[12:37:49] <Subsentient> crutchy: See astyle
[12:38:31] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: This is one area where we disagree. Remember me, and I'll remember you, and we'll see who's right.
[12:38:32] <crutchy> nah i mean adding new features, debugging, etc
[12:38:37] <crutchy> not just pretty print
[12:38:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> if we as a species were determined to create AI better than ourselves, we could. working individually we cannot.
[12:39:15] <Subsentient> We'll have machines more powerful than 1,000,000 human minds in two centuries.
[12:39:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> barring an Einstein moment anyway.
[12:39:18] <Subsentient> Mark my words.
[12:39:22] <crutchy> fuck the species! i wanna live in a space station orbiting jupiter!
[12:39:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> why jupiter? not much sun out there.
[12:39:55] <Subsentient> two centuries is kinda being pessimistic, I imagine it'd probably be a bit shorter than that.
[12:39:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> NO BIKINIS!
[12:40:17] <Subsentient> But hey, I'd look nice and terrifying in a bikini, floating around in a hard vacuum.
[12:40:27] <Subsentient> Hairy and 310LBs and all
[12:40:36] * crutchy blames arthur c clarke
[12:41:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> dude, they're for the hotties not tha sausage packers.
[12:41:13] <crutchy> 2001, 2010 and 3001 are amazing books
[12:41:26] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: thatsthejoke.gif
[12:41:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes, and i did chuckle
[12:41:57] <crutchy> plus i'm an engineer and a space nut, so jupiter it is :D
[12:42:15] <Subsentient> crutchy, s/space nut/gerbil butt/
[12:42:17] <exec> <Subsentient> <crutchy> plus i'm an engineer and a gerbil butt, so jupiter it is :D
[12:42:33] * TheMightyBuzzard is determined to be a fry cook on venus
[12:42:41] <crutchy> is jupiter home of the gerbils?
[12:42:46] <Subsentient> crutchy, s/space/ballsack/
[12:43:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, screw gerbils. if you're going interstellar it's miniature giant space hamsters all the way.
[12:43:16] <Subsentient> No, that'd be the damned, blasted pits of Gerbilius' realm, where the peanut butter boils in giant vats.
[12:43:41] * crutchy blasts Subsentient to uranus

[13:36:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, i think today may be the day i finish up submissions in C. or possibly not. not sure i have time to account for all the edge cases.
[13:37:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, right, i gave myself like 4 more functions to write yesterday. yeah, probably not finishing today.
[14:10:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, it is so much easier to pull data out of arbitrary text with a regex than by doing it in C
[14:11:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> like infinitely easier.
[14:14:23] <chromas> isn't there a regex lib?
[14:14:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> pcre
[14:14:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> avoiding using it if i can though
[14:15:09] <chromas> use the libs
[14:15:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> they're expensive on cpu and memory both.
[14:15:41] <chromas> I can't say "force" because µaggressions
[14:15:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> going to check if Substrings can do what i want first.
[14:16:08] <chromas> how often does it fire?
[14:16:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> every time someone submits something, so not very.
[14:16:56] <chromas> you could make it just execute a separate perl script for that :D
[14:17:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, the script would stay in ram then.
[14:17:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> wherein it would be huge
[14:18:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> well i say "nah" but i may very well end up doing that.
[14:18:53] <chromas> you could make the function you need; I'm sure Subs would accept it if you put enough peanus butter on it
[14:19:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, working on that first. i'd rather not have a bible-length function just to replace one line of regex though.
[14:21:04] <chromas> I started making a function for his lib awhile back but then I remembered C don't have strings so dicking with pointers would get the same jerb done
[14:21:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh
[14:22:02] <chromas> maybe it's got something similar too. don't recall
[14:22:31] <chromas> basically, something like ExtractSubStr(string; delimiter; posish)
[14:22:57] <chromas> so it grabs up to the next delimiter and returns it, setting the new posision after the delimiter
[14:23:06] <chromas> but in c you'd just advance a pointer

[14:24:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> just copy the pointer and advance the copy.
[14:25:04] <chromas> yeah
[14:25:31] <chromas> but that type o' funciton is handy for string masturbation when you don't haz regex
[14:26:11] <chromas> android N, eh. thought people were still jacking off to M's construction paper appearance
[14:26:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> just really, really hard to do what a wildcard could.
[14:26:37] <chromas> that's why pascal's sets come in handy :D
[14:27:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean m#<meta\s+property="og:title"\s+content="(.*?)"#i is not a short bit of code in C
[14:27:13] <chromas> you could do something like "if string[position] in ['A'..'Z]"
[14:28:11] <chromas> you also need to account for the fact that some assholes put the content field before the property field
[14:28:41] <chromas> could be why some sites don't get summaries

[19:35:17] <Gravis> Runaway1956: PCIe xN indicates the number of "lanes" it uses. in effect, it's the maximum bandwidth of the card. so PCIe x16 has 16 bit input and 16 bit output.
[19:35:53] <Gravis> Runaway1956: there is no reason to think PCIe x8 would be better than PCIe x16.
[19:40:45] <Gravis> Runaway1956: i think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about PCI Express.
[19:42:27] <Runaway1956> Gravis - my understanding of PCIe may or may not be up to snuff - but you cannot insert a PCIe x16 card into a PCIe x8 slot, without doing some modifications.
[19:42:55] <Runaway1956> And, if you DO make those necessary modifications, your PCIe x16 card is going to run at half speed
[19:43:31] <Runaway1956> Meaning, a 900 mhz clock is going to run at 450 mhz (numbers rounded off for convenience)
[19:43:54] <Gravis> actually, that's not true
[19:44:06] <Gravis> the clock will remain the same, the transfer speed would be decreased
[19:44:12] <Runaway1956> So, a hot PCIe x16 inserted into a PCIe x8 slot is no longer "hot"
[19:45:04] <Runaway1956> mmmmmmmmmm - I'm not sure enough to argue - yes, the transfer speeds are cut in half, but I think the clocks are reduced as well
[19:45:44] <Gravis> as someone who does know enough to argue, i an tell you the clock is unchanged
[19:45:47] <Runaway1956> Either way, I'm reluctant to take a dremel tool to my server mainboard just to insert a PCIe x16 card into it
