[02:25:59] <Bytram> chromas: sorry, got distracted. Saw a job opportunity so thought I'd take a quick read up on some stuff.
[02:31:16] <chromas> Ah, cool
[02:32:04] <Bytram> yeah, I think so.
[02:32:31] <Bytram> it's got a bunch of stuff outside of my experience base, but I've done pretty well at picking up new stuff over the years...
[02:32:41] <Bytram> it's located only a couple miles from where I live, too.
[02:33:27] <Bytram> established company (about 15 years old) with ~25-30 employees
[02:35:12] <Bytram> from past experience, they are on the verge of some growing pains trying to get past that size, and as far as I can tell, they do not yet have a QA resource. They are looking for good *people* more than just for someone to fill a particular role.
[02:35:52] <Bytram> it's quite a jump from what I'm doing now, but if I don't take the plunge some time, when will I?
[02:36:22] <Bytram> anyway, was about to take a break after a 2-hour dive into what they do... catch ya later!
[02:38:18] <chromas> Oh no! All their things are gonna break :)

[06:43:42] <Konomi> wow removing google plus freed my pseudonym to just be one name with no full stop as a last name
[06:43:46] <Konomi> \o/
[06:43:53] <Konomi> that has been bothering my ocd for ages
[06:44:04] <Konomi> also I have a feeling google has been planing this for awhile
[06:44:24] <Konomi> https://aboutme.google.com they've had this since 2015 apparently
[06:44:28] <Konomi> same time the breach happened
[06:44:35] <Konomi> I wonder if this was the plan all along

[12:22:47] * exec covertly derives a FAT16 volume of bedbugs from Bytram
[12:23:06] * Bytram loses bedbugs? Win!
[12:23:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> you win. null terminated strings are harder to get rid of.
[12:23:22] <Bytram> but only a fat16 volume's worth
[12:23:31] <Bytram> ain't that the norm, these days?
[12:24:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea. there's still so much C around that it's hard to tell.
[12:25:02] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:25:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, stupid MrPlow is pegging one core of bery's cpu. i should fix that tomorrow.
[12:26:00] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Not to put a rush on anything, but I *am* on vacation this week, so if there was any code you wanted to push out or any servers to reboot, this would be the time for it.
[12:26:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, we ain't got anything ready and i wouldn't want to do it on a weekday anyway.
[12:26:53] <Bytram> wasn't there something you wanted to reboot?
[12:26:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope
[12:27:31] <Bytram> k
[12:27:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> guess i could try to get sodium over to gentoo. it's not in use right now anyway.
[12:28:06] <Bytram> that'd be nice
[12:28:19] <Bytram> btw, is dev up to date with the latest code?
[12:28:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> later though. fishing today.
[12:28:35] <Bytram> how's the humidity?
[12:28:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> rehash code? it's a little ahead of prod.
[12:28:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> but doesn't have all pulls merged

[12:29:19] <Bytram> looks like I am in for a day or rain on thursday, but today is supposed to be quite nice... may just have to get my butt in gear and get outdoors and do some things
[12:29:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> high at the moment but it won't be too bad later
[12:29:29] <Bytram> nod nod

[12:31:24] <upstart> ^ 03Lake Graham
[12:31:51] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: before you go... site has been quite sluggish lately?
[12:32:12] <Bytram> generally takes 2-3 seconds, minimum, to refresh any page.
[12:32:27] <Bytram> site api seems to be un-impeded, though
[12:33:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> nothing i can do about it without downing the site for a significant part or possibly all of a day.
[12:34:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> slow > no
[12:35:43] <Bytram> don't we have redundancies? Oh, wait
[12:36:00] <Bytram> DB schema change? amirite? and with DB replication...
[12:37:37] * Bytram was disappointed at how fuzzy 1920x1200 looks on his new 2840x2160 TV until he realized he was getting "fractional pixels"... 2160/1200 == 1.80 pixels
[12:39:08] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Don't know if you are aware, but the NWS (National Weather Service) has some neat tools available, for example: https://forecast.weather.gov
[12:41:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, you can't add indexes or optimize a db while using it realistically.
[12:41:46] <Bytram> Hmmmmm
[12:42:07] <Bytram> that makes sense...
[12:42:37] * Bytram would love to see details of what you plan to do... before you do it. =)
[12:42:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> mostly you can't make significant changes to a db that you're trying to write to at the same time.
[12:42:54] <Bytram> yeah, THAT makes sense
[12:43:08] <Bytram> practice on dev, first? right?
[12:43:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> so we have to stop users from writing to it for a time.
[12:43:19] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:43:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you like. dev doesn't have the problem though because it has a much smaller db.
[12:45:03] <Bytram> understood, but making schema changes (IIUC), and modifying the code to use them... may not always work as expected on the first try.
[12:46:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> no schema changes. well we do need one to prod that couldn't be done earlier but for optimizing we don't need to make any at the moment.

[13:57:52] <AndyTheAbsurd> I thought creating misleading benchmarks was Intel's SOP.
[13:58:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> Didn't they do a bunch of stuff involving compilers somehow a few years back?

[14:02:00] <AndyTheAbsurd> Choice quote: If the vendor string says "GenuineIntel" then it uses the optimal code path. If the CPU is not from Intel then, in most cases, it will run the slowest possible version of the code, even if the CPU is fully compatible with a better version.

[18:47:41] <hopdevil> any way to check to see what IP the server thinks that is?
[18:51:15] <chromas> I think it's obfuscated for us non-ircop plebs
[18:51:46] <chromas> Not sure what logs the ircd has going
[18:53:10] <hopdevil> k obfuscation was one thought since the # chars matches
[19:10:11] <FatPhil> hopdevil: I think letters are substituted with neighbouring keys on the query keyboard
[19:10:57] <FatPhil> I used to always connect from asdf.org, and the substitutions were suspiciously sinister.
