[00:52:23] <SirFinkus> only the latter
[00:52:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, troof
[00:52:37] <SirFinkus> first part is about trouble
[00:53:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> shame you can't really score blues music. could build a midi for it.
[00:54:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> well i guess you can, it's just a huge pain to
[00:55:06] <SirFinkus> can't you feel that trouble coming?/ but trouble's coming all the time
[00:55:23] <SirFinkus> the turnaround part
[00:55:48] <SirFinkus> I don't see why you couldn't
[00:55:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> has it got a good hook? that's the important bit really.

[00:56:49] <SirFinkus> working on that part, got 3 verse though
[00:56:53] <SirFinkus> called "two black cats"

[01:13:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> one's for cialis
[01:14:14] <Deucalion> that's ok then, I'm sure they can flesh it out, or extend it
[01:14:24] <SirFinkus> it's burger time too btw
[01:14:34] <SirFinkus> I'm making bacon right now
[01:14:48] <SirFinkus> and I'm going to carmelize the onions in the bacon grease

[01:19:23] <SirFinkus> geez, you really are tired Deucalion
[01:19:41] <chromas> the pig rolls over and you pull the bacon out. It's just like that Simpsons epsiode

[01:21:27] <Deucalion> SirFinkus, the little I learned... "making bacon" US style... put bacon in pan.. cook.. bacon made. I'd call that cooking bacon not making it. Fuck I get so pedantic when tired.
[01:22:03] <chromas> it's like making water or making money
[01:22:09] <chromas> you extrude it
[01:22:28] <Deucalion> Or getting the injected water out of the meat before consuming it
[01:23:55] <Runaway1956> Obviously not all of us are native English speakers from the United States
[01:24:06] <Runaway1956> makin' bacon has NOTHING to do with cooking
[01:25:44] <Deucalion> Ach... another one of my bug bears.... X population "used" N trillion gallons of water... like it's a finite resource..... that fucks me off... don't refer to water like a fossil fuel that cannot be replenished within our lifetime. Water used is cycled short-term. Wow, I am making no sense.

[01:44:07] <crutchy> TheMightyBuzzard, call it ready now. let the users find the bugs :p
[01:46:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> well that was always the plan. just want enough functionality in so cmn32480 don't bitch.
[01:51:04] <crutchy> its ironic that apple relies on samsung for the supply of certain chips in the iphone
[01:51:07] <crutchy> http://investorplace.com
[01:51:07] <systemd> ^ 03Apple (AAPL): 5 Suppliers That Are Screwed if iPhone 7 Flops | InvestorPlace
[01:51:41] <crutchy> mentions samsung as one of apples major suppliers to take a dive if iphone 7 flops
[01:52:06] <crutchy> though i would think that if iphone 7 took a tumble, samsung smartphones might benefit
[01:52:45] <crutchy> "Meanwhile, LG Display — a major supplier of iPhone panels — recently reported a 99% drop in quarterly profit."
[01:52:50] <crutchy> wholly shyte!
[01:54:42] <swiss> i mean, why are people assuming the 7 would take a tumble?
[01:54:54] <swiss> how is it different than any other iphone
[01:55:06] <crutchy> dunno. but 99% drop is pretty significant
[01:56:44] <crutchy> and i think it was samsung that warned of a downturn in the market
[01:57:05] <crutchy> apple has sorta bet the farm in that one area
[01:57:10] <Runaway1956> The world is nearing saturation point for smart phones -
[01:57:26] <Runaway1956> poor kids in the ghettos have smart phones, FFS
[01:57:38] <crutchy> yeah but they are cheaper models. not smartphones
[01:57:46] <crutchy> s/smartphones/iphones/
[01:57:46] <sedctl> <crutchy> yeah but they are cheaper models. not iphones
[01:58:10] <Runaway1956> Android may be cheaper than iPhone, but they are still smart phones
[01:58:25] <crutchy> android runs on much cheaper models than both iphone and galaxy
[01:58:29] <Runaway1956> feature phones come with sophisticated adroid interfaces these days
[01:58:48] <SirFinkus> "android" "sophisticated"
[01:58:52] * SirFinkus chortles
[01:58:56] <crutchy> i think the warning is mainly targeted at the high end iphone and galaxy
[01:59:37] <crutchy> apple hasn't really broadened their market to allow a hit in their iphone sales
[01:59:40] <Runaway1956> Yes, and, why pay most of a thousand dollars for a phone that has few if any more features than can be found on a $150 feature phone?
[02:00:07] <Runaway1956> The biggest thing iPhone has going for it is their security
[02:00:15] <Runaway1956> and that has been shown to have flaws
[02:00:16] <crutchy> only reason why iphone and galaxy sell here is because of $0 upfront 2 year contracts
[02:00:18] <SirFinkus> also the updates
[02:00:28] <SirFinkus> 4s still getting updates I think
[02:00:38] <Runaway1956> Bingo, crutchy - you win the internet today!
[02:00:55] <SirFinkus> with android, the only thing you can really count on is the version it comes with
[02:01:11] <Runaway1956> That, and cyanogenmod
[02:01:27] <crutchy> yeah i was thinking about putting ubuntu on my old s2
[02:01:39] <crutchy> still haven't worked up the motivation to actually do it
[02:01:52] <crutchy> also, kids like playing games on it still :p
[02:02:22] <Runaway1956> If you have any motivation to spare, send me a cup tomorrow morning - I've an old server that I want to bring back to life
[02:02:53] <crutchy> its coming into low motivation season here
[02:03:01] * crutchy hates winter
[02:03:11] * Runaway1956 will drink a cup of motivation, wash it down with a cup of coffee, and get to work
[02:03:15] <SirFinkus> winter is awesome
[02:03:23] <SirFinkus> free cooling for the room full of comptuers
[02:03:27] <Runaway1956> winter is cool, also
[02:03:44] <SirFinkus> I mean, surely you don't go outside
[02:03:58] <crutchy> i have 4 computers on my desk at work, but only 1 running at home :)
[02:04:05] <Runaway1956> outside is where life happens
[02:04:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> outside is where the fish are
[02:04:23] * crutchy sees outside when he walks to workipoos
[02:04:34] <SirFinkus> crutchy you poor bastard
[02:04:51] <crutchy> yeah i know! the sun... it burns!
[02:04:59] <Runaway1956> TMB - fish are "in the water" so I'm not certain that fish are "outside"
[02:04:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> no shit, i drive just to check the mail
[02:05:05] <crutchy> lmao
[02:05:14] <crutchy> you on a farm?
[02:05:24] <crutchy> or acerage or whatever you call it over there?
[02:05:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, no, it's just all the way across the yard.
[02:05:35] <Runaway1956> gated community?
[02:05:59] <crutchy> oh yeah. gotta watch out for democrats where you are. they're dangerous foul-mouthed creatures
[02:06:09] <SirFinkus> it's a good 10 yards
[02:06:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, if the water ain't outside you need a new roof.
[02:06:21] <SirFinkus> but he can get int he car in his garage
[02:06:40] <SirFinkus> open it afterwords, then go by the mailbox and just roll downthe window
[02:06:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, fuck em. we got all the guns. what're they gonna do? protest?
[02:07:23] <Runaway1956> Oh yeah - gated communities - there's one a few miles south of here - http://ww3.hdnux.com
[02:07:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, zactly
[02:08:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> the only way i'm ever giving up fossil fuels is if they figure out how to make an engine that runs off the distilled tears of hippies
[02:09:21] <Runaway1956> Why would you distill them? To get rid of the stench?
[02:09:30] <SirFinkus> those tesla cars make a compelling argument
[02:09:39] <SirFinkus> when I'm rich, I'll buy one
[02:10:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, hippies got too much stank. incense, pot, ass, etc...
[02:11:26] * crutchy read about 'dabbing' last night
[02:11:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, if i had a tesla, i'd sell it and buy and restore a 69 dodge charger. well i say restore... it'd end up painted orange with a confederate flag on the roof.
[02:11:47] <crutchy> lol
[02:11:52] <crutchy> waste of a good charger
[02:12:15] <crutchy> paint it black dude
[02:12:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> maybe an american thing
[02:12:23] <Runaway1956> Few democrats would ever see the roof of a charger, unless they were in an second story office
[02:12:39] * SirFinkus is listening to The Rolling Stones — Paint It Black, from the album Aftermath [Song]
[02:13:03] <SirFinkus> good fucking song
[02:13:32] <Runaway1956> The damned clock keeps counting toward work time - someone turn it off please
[02:13:35] * crutchy drove the company hilux to a client site yesterday. first time i driven a manual for a few years
[02:13:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, dukes of hazard was like THE show back in the day. daisy duke jump started many a kid into puberty with them shorts.
[02:14:06] <crutchy> pretty forgiving gearbox compared to the old '85 carolla i used to drive
[02:14:30] <crutchy> but still felt like i was actually driving, compared to my new camry which is all automated electronica
[02:14:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> think ima get one more smoke in then bed
[02:14:42] <SirFinkus> automatics suck
[02:14:48] <SirFinkus> give me manual
[02:15:06] <crutchy> new car has sports shift at least. paddles on the steering wheel
[02:15:16] <crutchy> but yeah not as good as a real manual
[02:15:17] <SirFinkus> unless it's electric
[02:15:39] <SirFinkus> then it doesn't matter
[02:15:55] <crutchy> then you just have an 'insane mode' button :p
[02:15:58] <SirFinkus> ICE? fuck you, I decide when I need torque
[02:16:49] <crutchy> i still remember when i was a teenager, long before telsa was a company name, i was drawing electric cars
[02:16:53] <SirFinkus> downshifting to pass someone is one of the few pleasures I have in life
[02:16:59] <Runaway1956> My Aggie's official graduation ceremony is tomorrow morning, and I've got to work
[02:17:11] <SirFinkus> fucking NAILING the rev matching
[02:17:15] <SirFinkus> it's like a video game
[02:17:19] <SirFinkus> every time I shift
[02:17:22] * crutchy passes the deadly manflu to Runaway1956
[02:17:31] <Runaway1956> LOL
[02:17:31] <SirFinkus> instant feedback
[02:18:38] <crutchy> new car is fairly responsive when overtaking. my old car was a v6 and i was a bit sceptical about a v4 but tbh most of the time it drives on eco mode which drops a cylinder anyway
[02:19:33] <crutchy> uses about 8-10L/100km on most roads
[02:20:29] <Runaway1956> That's like 2 1/4 gallons to go 70 miles? Not bad . . . nothing to brag about,
[02:22:19] <crutchy> nah its just a camry
[02:22:34] <crutchy> but still better milage than i ever had before :)
[02:23:02] <Runaway1956> My best fuel mileage has been on motorcycles, followed by a Camry station wagon
[02:23:39] <Runaway1956> That station wagon actually got 42 mpg now and then - overall average about 36
[02:23:39] <SirFinkus> I get awesome fuel mileage on my bicycle
[02:23:56] <crutchy> food is pretty expensive nowadays
[02:24:00] <Runaway1956> Bicycles are so 1800 . . . .
[02:24:55] <crutchy> bicylcles are awesome till you gotta figure out what to do with them when you get to your destination
[02:24:59] <SirFinkus> most effiecient mod of human transportation
[02:25:15] <SirFinkus> mode even
[02:25:29] <crutchy> most people drive around here
[02:25:31] <Runaway1956> Best thing to do with a bicycle, is to fold it up and put it in your desk drawer when you get to work.
[02:25:37] <crutchy> biking not very popular
[02:25:52] <SirFinkus> velomobile is the way to go, but so expensive
[02:26:06] <crutchy> even walking not very popular, but i like to walk when weather is ok
[02:26:31] <Runaway1956> Drop bears prefer bicyclists, is what I hear.
[02:26:43] <SirFinkus> what about waltzing?
[02:26:52] <SirFinkus> like, matilda style
[02:27:22] <crutchy> waltzing might be something they do in the cities
[02:28:00] <crutchy> apparently melbourne is a pretty big city now, even around the world
[02:28:23] <crutchy> i knew it was big for australia, but didn't realise it was big by world standards
[02:28:31] <Runaway1956> My great grandparents waltzed -
[02:28:45] <crutchy> yeah waltzing is so 1800...

[05:03:39] <Gravis> off-gas is a real thing? what is this language coming to?!
[05:30:05] <crutchy> you never heard of off-gassing?
[05:30:49] <crutchy> Off-gassing (also known as out-gassing) refers to the release of airborne particulates or chemicals—dubbed volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—from common household products

[11:28:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> perils of being an editor
[11:29:03] <Bytram> kinda makes sense, as including authors (aka editors) could push non-editors off the chart
[11:29:21] <Bytram> was thinking there may be a simple solution
[11:29:34] <Bytram> looked into it, but lost context when I rebooted my system.
[11:29:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> not really. submitter vs author are stored separately. dunno why you were specifically excluded if you're an author.
[11:30:02] <Bytram> the "Most Active Submitters" section could be duped and modified to be:
[11:30:31] <Bytram> there is code in that specifically excludes authors in the SQL query.
[11:30:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod, would have to be
[11:30:43] <Bytram> yep,
[11:30:57] <Bytram> so, my thoghts are it should be simple to make TWO sections:
[11:30:59] <Bytram> "Most Active Submitters - Non-authors"
[11:31:03] <Bytram> "Most Active Submitters - Authors"
[11:31:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> we could remove it if you guys is feelin slighted or we could leave it in if yer wantin to be modest.

[11:31:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> yays, mrcoolbp updated it again.
[11:32:02] <Bytram> should be just a copy pasta and some minor tweaks, but I am still a newbie at the code, and I lost my context when I rebooted my system to apply an update.
[11:32:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, if you wanna tweak the HOF, go right ahead.
[11:32:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> for that matter, we need a hof link on the main page
[11:32:50] <Bytram> and I don't have a day off until next thursday :(
[11:32:56] <Bytram> true that!
[11:33:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> no rush, the 16_04 update looks like it's gonna be a 16_06 update anyway.
[11:33:53] <Bytram> coding up the template changes is a peice of cake, but I am squeamish about making any coding changes (the .pl/.pm stuff) -- ain't done that before.
[11:34:01] <Bytram> *piece
[11:34:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> good practice then
[11:34:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> this are a pretty simple one
[11:34:57] <Bytram> so, you could do it in 5 minutes, then?
[11:35:01] <Bytram> ;)
[11:36:22] <Bytram> yes, I realize it would be good practice, no argument. Just don't see having hte time available when you would also be around to merge changes into dev for me to test/debug.
[11:36:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, templates annoy me so i'd drag my feet
[11:36:48] <Bytram> I find templates to be easy/peasy.
[11:37:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> like i been putting off renaming/fixing the branch of the april1 theme outa sheer annoyance n lazy
[11:38:01] <Bytram> nod nod
[11:39:06] <Bytram> hmmm, main;hof;default
[11:39:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> i might get to it after the weekend though. may as well throw some extra stuff in since pj isn't in a hurry to push out this update.
[11:39:30] <Bytram> seems that way
[11:40:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> really would be a good place for you to get your perl feet wet though. it's basically copy pasta and changing one line of sql.
[11:40:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> well and giving the new sub a new name
[11:41:16] <Bytram> that was my view (heh!) of the scope of it.... I just need an unbroken stretch of a couple hours where I can pick someone's brain as I poke along
[11:42:10] <Bytram> I do coding rarely enough on this site, that I need to go back to basics and check my notes for simple things like how to make a clean branch, check stuff in, etc.

[11:49:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> anywho, it's nicotine time again. feel free to queue up stuffs for me to read.
[11:50:20] <Bytram> looks like just change the title for "Most Active Submitters - NonAuthor" and "Most Active Submitters - Authors" and change the item in the FOREACH to be: "activesubisauthor" and "activesubnotauthor"

[14:13:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> ye gads, multithreading is a pita in rust
[14:30:13] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Go see pthreads for real pain.
[14:32:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, pthreads is easy.
[14:34:34] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: tried it in C?
[14:35:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, yar. mrplow was multi-threaded before i scrapped him.
[14:35:46] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: I always struggled with weird ass behaviour in pthreads.
[14:37:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> huh
[14:37:47] <Subsentient> Like threads not being killed when calling pthread_kill, stuff like that
[14:38:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, i had one thread running off to the side all the time the program was active.
[14:39:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> right now i'm dealing with insano lock behavior in rust
[14:39:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't for the life of me tell what has the bloody lock
[14:39:34] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: can I see?
[14:40:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah too much trouble just now
[14:40:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> plus it's in a broken state
[14:40:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> just working out of a test file until i grok threading and locking in rust
[14:40:53] <Subsentient> so is Epoch-ng.
[14:41:21] <Subsentient> (changes were too massive to make it 2.0, it's a half-rewrite of the entire init system)
[14:42:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> does not help that some of the documentation is out of date
[14:42:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> their examples for Channels do not compile
[14:44:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's also harder'n fuck to just spin off a thread and.... wait no it's not...
[15:11:57] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: in python, threads aren't really threads. They are just two jobs that switch places every n milliseconds, no real multiprocessing

[15:43:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> well hell, now i forgot how i was gonna arrange this mess
[16:07:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> woohoo! finally figured out locking worth a damn!
[16:11:07] * Gravis puts TheMightyBuzzard in a mutex and locks it
[16:12:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> while mutex.try_lock().is_err { self.nap(); }
[16:12:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> damn, fergot a () after the is_err
[16:13:23] <Gravis> query: why rust instead of c++?
[16:13:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> cause i was curious about it
[16:14:37] <Gravis> ok. it's mostly just c++ with a different syntax and missing some stuff.
[16:15:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar, and also extreme memory protection. you literally have to write the word "unsafe" in your code to write outside the bounds of a variable or create a race condition.
[16:16:20] <Gravis> -_-
[16:17:15] <Gravis> well at least now we know what the mozilla coders were really shitty at: proper memory management
[16:17:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> the compiler itself won't allow two writeable pointers to a value to exist at once, fer instance.
[16:17:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> understatement.
[16:19:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm fairly shitty at it myself in an off by one sort of way. no matter what values i put in, they will be off by one the first time. and the direction is indeterminate until the first run.
[16:20:02] <Gravis> which is why you just use the STL and not worry about micromanaging memory
[16:20:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly wise. i was curious about rust though and annoyed with C.
[16:21:25] <Gravis> yeah, it doesn't take a new language to simplify memory management
[16:21:32] -!- Pigeonburger has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
[16:22:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's heavier on memory and fairly poorly documented but it's still a hell of a lot lighter than perl and more secure than C
[16:23:13] <Gravis> well, if you want something that well documented, lighter than perl and more secure than C then you simply need to use C++
[16:23:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> my bots here are just toys to try out new or underused skills. if they work for any length of time it's because i was too busy to mess with them.
[16:23:21] <Gravis> C++ was invented for a very good reason
[16:23:21] <Bender> karma - c: 55
[16:24:33] <Gravis> rust is just reinventing the wheel and apparently requiring you to wear a helmet while using it. -_-
[16:25:15] <Gravis> so i can see why it appeals to people who already wear a helmet all the time. ;)
[16:25:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, that's my special fishin hat
[16:26:07] <Gravis> sure, it's special but it ain't got nothin' to do with fishin.
[16:26:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> honestly it annoys the piss out of me so far but i'm not giving up until i get the bot as working as the C version was.
[16:28:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> and fer real, i wish a hell of a lot of the programmers i've met were forced to use it. i'd have had to fix a lot less.
[16:28:14] <Gravis> however, i am greatful for some of these weird-o languages because it pushes the C++ people to make further improvements. i think D is what kicked their asses into making C++11
[16:28:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, competition is good.
[16:29:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> startin to sound like a capitalist, Gravis
[16:29:47] <Gravis> competition is part of human nature
[16:30:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> absolutely
[16:30:53] <Gravis> sadly, it's at the core of psychopaths.
[16:31:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> untrue. one has nothing to do with the other. psychopaths are quite capable of not giving a shit just like everyone else.
[16:32:33] <Gravis> then you don't know psychopaths.
[16:32:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> you keep telling me that and you keep being wrong.
[16:33:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> psychopaths are no more innately competitive than any other human.
[16:33:46] <Gravis> why would you say that?
[16:33:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> because it is not part of the definition of psychopathy
