[23:46:24] <Leebert> Oh, poop. The story I submitted about ICANN which is pending publication has a speling error... "that it had been compromied" If it didn't get corrected in the published version, can someone fix it to make me not look stupid?

[19:42:24] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - The Swedish Troll Hunters - http://sylnt.us - looking-under-bridges
[19:35:29] <Leebert> Never know until you ask. :) Mine was taken care of by a friend so I'm not entirely sure what strings he pulled, but I do know they give limited public tours.
[19:34:14] <Ethanol-fueled> Or another government agency like NOAA.
[19:34:03] <Ethanol-fueled> Leebert, I doubt I can now. The best I can pull is probably...er...a local one I've already been to I don't want to mention.
[19:34:02] <Leebert> It's downright fascinating. And nice to see people more obsessed with time than you could ever be.
[19:33:34] <Leebert> BTW, I highly recommend a USNO tour if you can ever pull the right strings to get one.
[19:33:02] <Leebert> Well, the plural of anecdote being data, sounds like infallible truth to me. :)
[19:32:56] <Ethanol-fueled> "reasearch vessel" my ass.
[19:32:39] <Ethanol-fueled> he used to cruise around the arctic in a USNS Elint sucker
[19:32:00] <Ethanol-fueled> Leebert, funny you mention that, I heard it from an ex-navy guy
[19:31:07] <Leebert> Alas I didn't completely understand how that all fit together since I'd expect the limitation to be the accuracy of the bird's clock, but these people are clearly way smarter than I am.
[19:30:19] <Leebert> Yeah; as I recall, when I visited the USNO a few years ago, they told me that they were close to firing up a new clock that gave something along the order of femtosecond accuracy, which would be used to give sub-centimeter resolution to the existing GPS.
[19:27:54] <Ethanol-fueled> He may have been talking about known extensions to GPS though.
[19:27:27] <Ethanol-fueled> Leebert, re: high-precision GPS 2.0 -- I heard from a kind-of credible source that the government has already developed it, and it has resolution of a few mm
[19:22:16] <Leebert> Learn something while also seeing technological advances retrospectively.
[19:21:45] <Leebert> yeah, but part of what makes it high-brow humor is that you'd expect the summary to actually teach you a little bit about how the Airfone worked, and include some (reasonable for the time) speculation about how GPS might be used in a civilian context, etc.
[19:20:16] -!- mythterj [mythterj!mythterj@tonvizu.sdf.org] has joined #Soylent
[19:19:42] <SirFinkus> like, if you read the summary you can assume it's a new development unless you'd already known about the story or read tfa
[19:19:06] <SirFinkus> it'd be funnier if they could have just happened yesterday
[19:11:41] <Leebert> "Source: US Government developing classified high-precision 'Global Positioning System'"
[19:09:35] <Leebert> (that history might be wrong; but you get the drift)
[19:09:25] <Leebert> "GTE to offer 'Airfone' telephone service on select domestic flights"
[19:07:06] <Leebert> Sure, something along those lines.
[19:06:39] <SirFinkus> too
[19:06:36] <SirFinkus> gotta have a HURD story in there to
[19:06:07] <Leebert> "Tanebaum schools wanna-be OS kernel developer about kernel architectures."
[19:04:31] <Leebert> With the right stories, it would actually be kind of fascinating.
[19:04:13] <Hedonismbot> ^ 03Patent EP1327931A2 - Systems, methods and apparatuses for real-time tracking of packages - Google Patents
[19:04:12] <Leebert> Apropos to the April Fools Day discussion a few weeks ago... You know what would actually be both funny *and* interesting? Running old news as contemporary news. Like, talk about a patent issues to UPS for a package tracking apparatus (http://www.google.com/patents/EP1327931A2?cl=en) which even has an acoustic coupler to transmit near real-time delivery information via a payphone...
[19:02:15] <Blackmoore> yeah, but at least it isnt politics
[18:56:37] <Ethanol-fueled> Probably best left to a weekend.
[18:56:27] <Ethanol-fueled> that forensic pubic thing is disgusting.
[18:56:19] <Ethanol-fueled> Oh jesus, Blackmoore.

[17:40:11] <Ethanol-fueled> for the handful of ladies who were there.
[17:40:02] <Ethanol-fueled> only a few dirty blondes, in fact.
[17:39:45] <Ethanol-fueled> Finkus, no redheads were at that party.
[17:39:26] <Ethanol-fueled> One of them is Sci-Fi. And trashy still.
[17:39:11] <Ethanol-fueled> Andy, I have some snippets I need to pull from Slashdot.
[17:32:17] <AndyTheAbsurd> Ethanol-fueled: that really is trashy. And amusing. Your writing is good, even if I don't care for the subject matter. Ever tried your hand at fiction?
[17:10:00] <SirFinkus> are there pictures of redheads?
[17:07:55] * Ethanol-fueled at least wrote a trashy new journal entry if you want a distraction.
[17:03:30] <SirFinkus> yeah, they're nice, gotta be white ones for me though
[16:59:48] <Blackmoore> I like red-heads myself.
[16:23:29] <Ethanol-fueled> But on darker-skinned Hispanics it looks downright skanky.
[16:23:13] <Ethanol-fueled> It can look convincing on lighter-skinned hispanics if it's a quality job.
[16:22:19] <SirFinkus> followed by Asians, then Blacks
[16:22:06] <Ethanol-fueled> Agreed, Finkus.
[16:22:02] <SirFinkus> I think it looks the worst on hispanics
[16:21:55] <Ethanol-fueled> Especially when they do that nasty orange-ish looking blonde that we used to call a "peroxide bleach job"
[16:21:46] <SirFinkus> it's even worse if she isn't white
[16:21:29] <Ethanol-fueled> There's nothing more profoundly offensive than a dark-haired woman who colors her hair blonde.
[16:21:02] <Ethanol-fueled> I prefer dark-haired women with wild hair myself, but to each his own.
[16:20:43] <Ethanol-fueled> Blondes have a reputation for being dumb bimbos.
[15:57:00] <Konomi> quality reading
[15:51:43] <Leebert> Pretty sure I would have remembered that.
[15:51:02] <Leebert> Nobody asked ME to participate.
[15:50:51] <Ethanol-fueled> It is a scientific test, I guess.
[15:50:27] <Leebert> I can't imagine why you would think that "A/B Tests Reveal Blondes Can't Sell Lingerie" isn't front-page news.

[10:25:21] <Subsentient> $wz
[10:25:21] <Subsentient> Anyone for a Warzone game?
[10:12:41] <Subsentient> I built thunar from source and shortcuts is the default. o.O
[10:12:29] <chr> in tree view, it actually removes the option from the right-click menu
[10:12:28] <Subsentient> I use shortcuts by defaullt
[10:12:13] <chr> that is weird
[10:11:58] <crutchy> yay for obscure settings :D
[10:11:51] <crutchy> hmm if i change from tree to shortcuts in the view menu it seems to work
[10:11:16] <Subsentient> \
[10:11:16] <Subsentient> lol
[10:11:09] <chr> even though you can't arrange by penis
[10:11:01] <chr> if you can drag the icon, you can fap
[10:10:54] <Subsentient> crutchy: just drag to the right pane.
[10:10:50] <chr> can you drag the icon?
[10:10:48] <crutchy> i can't fap!
[10:10:41] <crutchy> zomg my package is missing!
[10:10:32] <crutchy> hmm i have a send to context menu, but nothing about places in it. maybe i'm missing a package
[10:09:23] <Subsentient> One thing I can't live without is the open terminal here right click option
[10:08:59] <chr> or drag the folder to the Places section
[10:08:29] <chr> crutchy: right-click, Send To -> Side pane
[10:08:11] <Subsentient> yeh
[10:07:49] <crutchy> kinda like fish?
[10:07:35] <Subsentient> Nice to just start typing and have a working backspace.
[10:07:24] <Subsentient> I use thunar's type-to-search a lot
[10:07:16] <crutchy> i don't seem to have a places menu anywhere on my desktop for some reason
[10:06:58] <crutchy> on my lappy i have "/nas/server/git/exec-irc-bot/scripts/" as a bookmark cos its a pain to navigate to manually each time
[10:05:46] <Subsentient> not even in the browsers. My history and firefox's autocomplete are my bookmarks
[10:05:31] <Subsentient> I never use bookmarks.
[10:05:06] <Subsentient> Well we got the places menu. Yeh thunar doesn't have that. I still generally prefer thunar though
[10:04:50] <crutchy> can't find anything in thunar
[10:04:19] <crutchy> is there an xfce file browser with favorites/bookmarks like nautilus?
[10:03:49] <Subsentient> though the trinity desktop has piqued my interest. I might look into that. KDE 3 was nice.
[10:03:21] <Subsentient> crutchy: Yeh I use XFCE exclusively
[10:02:47] <Hedonismbot> Karma - xfce: 2
[10:02:47] <Subsentient> ++xfce

[10:02:32] <crutchy> yaya mousepad it is :D
[10:02:22] <crutchy> just had to change the color theme
[10:02:20] <Subsentient> ye
[10:02:14] <crutchy> mousepad does have syntax highlighting
[10:01:59] <crutchy> ooh
[09:59:19] <Subsentient> It's the only way to go
[09:59:08] <Subsentient> hehe I use mousepad and geany
[09:58:01] <crutchy> fanfuckingtastic gedit pimps
[09:57:51] <crutchy> wow. the new open dialog can't even separate files from folders
[09:55:32] <crutchy> or that you're a zombie
[09:55:17] <crutchy> or rabies
[09:53:45] <chr> Yeah, bloody mucus is low priority
[09:49:49] <arti> act like you've got 'bola
[09:49:25] <arti> awesome
[09:47:09] <Subsentient> Delicious. Strawberry sauce.
[09:46:31] <Subsentient> Eating my dinner first. Meanwhile I wait for my rice to boil, I noticed I have blood in my flegm.
[09:41:18] <crutchy> pneumatica is bad
[09:41:09] <crutchy> good luck mate
[09:38:52] <chr> (ciri impression :D )
[09:38:46] <chr> come back soon! Subsentient
[09:38:01] <Subsentient> Like, really bad.
[09:37:56] <Subsentient> I'm going to be afk. I've got pneumonia from my cold and I need to go to the ER.

[06:19:15] <Subsentient> juggs: Indeed.
[06:18:46] <juggs> Subsentient, do nerds fit in pegboards? Or would that be a square peg, round hole scenario. I guess with a large enough hammer pretty much anything can be made to fit anywhere.
[06:18:05] <Subsentient> I generally assume malevolent intent for any corporate actions. They've MADE us cynical.
[06:17:00] <SpallsHurgenson> same thought momentarily crossed my mind too. as quickly banished for obvious reasons, but just goes to show how little trust we have for our corporate overlords :)

[06:06:08] <juggs> Call it Spleen
[06:04:24] <SpallsHurgenson> if I ever made my own linux distro, I wonder what I'd name it... Splinux maybe?
[06:02:42] <juggs> ar, sublinux is Subsentient's hand crafted distro
[06:01:04] <ar> what's sublinux?
[06:00:59] <SpallsHurgenson> whoa... longer than I expected :)
[06:00:35] <SpallsHurgenson> heaven. You see, it turns out shoes have 'soles'.
[06:00:35] <SpallsHurgenson> No matter who he sold them to, they'd show up again the next day. He tried to shut them out, but they just kicked the door down. The last thing I heard, they sort of... robbed a car and drove it into a canal. They couldn't steer, you see. Petersen was really, really blown away about it. He went to see a priest. The priest told him... he said it was alright and all that, when shoes are happy that they'd get into
[06:00:34] <SpallsHurgenson> My mate Petersen once bought a pair of shoes with Artificial Intelligence. 'Smart Shoes' they were called. It was a neat idea. No matter how blind drunk you were, they could always get you home. But he got rattled one night in Oslo and woke up the next morning in Burma. You see, his shoes got bored going from his local to his flat. They wanted to see the world, you know. He had a hell of a job getting rid of them.
[06:00:32] <SpallsHurgenson> reminds me of a story I once heard:
[05:59:16] <juggs> stranger things have happened - I read that somewhere at sometime so it must be true
[05:58:42] <juggs> maybe the foot ate the cat and then hopped off to a new life
[05:57:11] <SpallsHurgenson> can't find the cat either
[05:56:48] <juggs> cat probably ate it
[05:56:32] <SpallsHurgenson> I used to be so organized. Now I keep losing things. Like my foot; I had to amputate it and now it can't be found
[05:55:40] <juggs> How's the work coming on and did your foot stop bleeding yet SpallsHurgenson ?
[05:53:56] <SpallsHurgenson> I hate working in a messy environment :(
[05:52:45] * SpallsHurgenson utters a lengthy sequence of rather rude words
[05:45:14] <juggs> Good to know it's bang up to date ;D
[05:44:46] <Subsentient> Soon I will release an Update 2 that fixes shellshock as well as updates the kernel, openssl, and XFCE to the latest development versions among other fixes.
[05:44:07] <Subsentient> juggs: I have Update 1 that needs to be manually installed. It's not really critical.
[05:43:53] <Subsentient> ahh
[05:43:25] <juggs> Subsentient, idle hardware is an old desktop - AMD X2 something or other - has Vbox on it, but the thing needs files backed up and blowing away and reinstalling it's so out of date. Can't remember when I last powered it on.

[05:38:11] <Subsentient> juggs: No Virtualbox huh?
[05:37:57] <juggs> Subsentient, sure. I'm planning to find some time to mess with a BSD in the new year, may as well mess with a SubLinux install at the same time. I've got idle hardware, so it'll be good to experiment.
[05:35:52] <juggs> \o/ yay google-fu tells me my memory has not entirely failed just yet. I remember having to "verify" those 486 / Pentium systems for y2k compatability. Only one ancient 286 failed the test and it didn;t matter as it was just a passthru print server
[05:34:41] <Subsentient> I got a dropbox link.
[05:34:32] <Subsentient> juggs: Want the ISO to mess with?
[05:33:43] <Subsentient> It's available as a second kernel.
[05:33:36] <Subsentient> SubLinux supports PAE.
[05:33:18] <Subsentient> juggs: Yeah, Pentium 1s and AMD K6 and a lot of VIA chips and Cyrix chips.
[05:31:53] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Voyager 1 Rides 'Tsunami Wave' in Interstellar Space - http://sylnt.us - Magic-carpet-ride
[05:31:44] <juggs> i586 is early Pentium right? I've noticed several distros dropping support for PAE
[05:31:29] <Subsentient> I was afraid I'd regret the move later, but actually I'm quite glad I did it.
[05:31:14] <Subsentient> Generally I've been much happier on SubLinux.
[05:30:21] <Subsentient> systemd was getting scary and Fedora was getting a bit unstable.
[05:30:09] <Subsentient> Fedora will not.
[05:30:01] <Subsentient> I also needed something that ran on i586.
[05:29:50] <Subsentient> juggs: Fedora was changing too much
[05:28:52] <juggs> What motivated you to roll your own?
[05:26:14] <Subsentient> I actually wrote Epoch so I didn't have to use systemd or sysvinit in SubLinux.
[05:25:40] <Subsentient> SubLinux 2 was built in February to June of 2014. It turned out good enough for me to replace Fedora with it.
[05:25:13] <Subsentient> extremely unstable
[05:25:09] <Subsentient> It got XFCE going alright, but the rest of the system was trash
[05:24:59] <Subsentient> My first attempt, SubLinux 1 in 2012, was a disaster.
[05:24:37] <juggs> Good work. I don't have the know how to attempt something like that.
[05:24:08] <Subsentient> and all of it was at some point recompiled by SubLinux
[05:23:56] <Subsentient> SubLinux compiled most of itself
[05:23:49] <Subsentient> Built a core capable of compiling, made that core recompile itself, then worked up from there
[05:23:29] <Subsentient> I used a chroot to build it.
[05:23:19] <Subsentient> I rolled it myself.
[05:23:06] <juggs> Is sublinux derived from one of the common distros or did you roll it from kernel up?
[05:22:29] <Subsentient> My netbook and all x86 workstations run SubLinux.
[05:21:35] <Subsentient> juggs: The mac I am typing this on is a PowerPC G4 that runs Debian PPC testing
[05:21:06] <JamesNZ> F15 was the worst for me.
[05:21:03] <juggs> I tend to fall back on debian based stuff, low powered things get debian server. Just familiarity with apt vs yum I guess. That said, didn't have any probs running centos for a while.
[05:20:52] <Subsentient> Fedora 15 wasn't a favorite either.
[05:20:32] <Subsentient> Fedora 18 was shit. Oh man, it was bad...
[05:20:20] <Subsentient> I generally like to wait a while for the bugs to be ironed out.
[05:20:00] <JamesNZ> Subsentient: Ah.
[05:19:56] <Subsentient> when I do I'll do it with yum.
[05:19:51] <Subsentient> Nahh I haven't updated the servers yet
[05:19:42] <JamesNZ> F21 server*
[05:19:40] <Subsentient> JamesNZ: Yeah
[05:19:36] <JamesNZ> Subsentient: Have you tried F21?
[05:19:33] <Subsentient> yeah
[05:19:30] <juggs> Fedora's a RH based distro right?
[05:19:20] * Subsentient has found Fedora to be a quite acceptable server OS
[05:18:52] <Subsentient> they run Fedora
[05:18:50] <Subsentient> All my x86 machines run it except for the servers
[05:18:40] <Subsentient> juggs: Yeah.
[05:18:19] <juggs> Haven't you rolled your own distro Subsentient ?
[05:14:19] <juggs> I'm sure it must be - I was using it for a while then moved to the 12.04 alpha / beta track for a while before hopping over to Mint for desktop stuff.
[05:12:25] <Subsentient> Support for 10.04 is almost certainly dead.
[05:11:58] <juggs> Is Ubuntu 10.04 still in support? I thought that was a 3 year LTS, with 12,04 being the first 5 year LTS.

[05:07:40] <Subsentient> Yeh, good chat.
[05:07:34] <Ethanol-fueled> Allright, I'm gonna crash now. Nice shooting the shit with ya.
[05:07:23] <Subsentient> yeh
[05:07:19] <Ethanol-fueled> Dunno, bro.
[05:06:11] <Subsentient> Why does it taste sweet when I hack it up?
[05:06:02] <Subsentient> My lungs are flooded with sweet-tasting mucus.
[05:05:53] <Subsentient> Yeah I got a cold
[05:05:48] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm feeling lazy.
[05:05:44] <Subsentient> hehe ok
[05:05:39] <Ethanol-fueled> no, I can't do anything now.
[05:05:30] <Subsentient> Got it installed?
[05:05:11] <Ethanol-fueled> I do, actually, came with a Solaris CD my software engineering instructor handed out years ago.
[05:04:30] <Subsentient> You got VirtualBox? I can give you an ISO to spin up for shits and giggles.
[05:04:12] <Subsentient> hehe
[05:04:07] <Ethanol-fueled> that's well-suited to somebody like you but not a lazy fuck like me.
[05:03:43] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Nope. Gotta build stuff from source. Fortunately, SubLinux has a great compiler toolchain.
[05:03:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient, does it support package management?
[05:03:06] <Subsentient> It's a generic XFCE distro that uses my Epoch init system and generally is very efficient. It's designed to be my idea of a no-bullshit desktop OS.
[05:02:34] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: I myself use a source-built i586 distro of my own called SubLinux.
[05:02:07] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Ehh, I've seen worse.\
[05:00:33] <Ethanol-fueled> You may be horrified to hear that, but the stakes are low on my box.

[04:59:09] <Ethanol-fueled> At work or home?
[04:58:12] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: What OS you use?
[04:57:54] <Ethanol-fueled> The only people who get a free pass from Microsoft are the embedded Linux developers.
[04:57:34] <Ethanol-fueled> As for Google, you can choose not to use them in most corporate environments. Microsoft not so much.
[04:57:25] <Subsentient> Intel macs are trash too.
[04:57:20] <Subsentient> OS X has become a steaming pile of horse shit.
[04:56:50] <Ethanol-fueled> Apple are overrated. They'll be nothing in another few years. Jobs WAS Apple.
[04:56:21] <Subsentient> Google is what really scares me. Google and Apple.
[04:56:15] <Ethanol-fueled> The corporation just wasted millions on a feasibility study to standardize their ERP on MS Dynamics.
[04:56:07] <Subsentient> Well I'm generally pretty forgiving of Microsoft nowadays.
[04:55:28] <Ethanol-fueled> And Microsoft still has a stranglehold on many large corporations.
[04:54:19] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, I know C# is just another more readable version of VB. I'm not touting C# for any reason other than it's easy on Windows.
[04:53:30] <Ethanol-fueled> haha
[04:46:35] <Subsentient> all the new syslinux boasts great features but it's as unstable as Steve Ballmer at furniture world.
[04:45:18] <Subsentient> I know just enough assembly to embarrass myself. I'm planning to learn the required amount to get a bootloader going, because my beloved SYSLINUX 4.x bootloader is reaching end of life.
[04:44:02] <Subsentient> but that's not so bad when you look at it.
[04:43:54] <Subsentient> about 100% slower than assembly generally.
[04:43:38] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: C is *far*, *far* faster than C#.
[04:41:37] <Ethanol-fueled> I might be wrong about the figures, but C == fast as fuck/
[04:40:18] <Ethanol-fueled> If I recall correctly, they were mostly pointer arithmetic.
[04:39:59] <Ethanol-fueled> It plows through those matrices like crazy.
[04:39:46] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient - a lot of old code at work, the shit that was written by REAL engineers, does 120X120 gaussian elimination in milliseconds.
[04:39:03] <Subsentient> so aqu4's memory efficiency is nice
[04:38:56] <Subsentient> I run her on an ancient celeron and the python interpreter of the previous bot took wayyyy too much ram
[04:38:20] <Subsentient> aqu4bot was done in C for purpose though. She turned out great.
[04:37:52] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: hehe, I'm one of those "I don't know it so I'll just do it in C" lazy motherfuckers.
[04:37:48] <Ethanol-fueled> I know where to get material. I already have the book "numeric methods in C"
[04:37:32] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient, I'm one of those "I learn about it only when I need it" types of lazy motherfuckers.
[04:37:24] <Subsentient> Everything you'd ever need to know C.
[04:37:15] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Would you like to learn C? I have material I can give you.
[04:36:56] <Subsentient> Yeh I suppose. My code isn't personally focused on efficiency as much as it is maintainability.
[04:36:24] <Ethanol-fueled> You can pull all those super-fast cowboy tricks.
[04:36:15] <Ethanol-fueled> that's why C is so badass though.
[04:35:53] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: In C, there are no exceptions and no garbage collection. You know things are wrong when you get memory corruption and the first half of array 1 ends up at the butt-end of array 2.
[04:35:06] * Ethanol-fueled throws the whole source file in one big try/catch block.
[04:34:29] <Ethanol-fueled> That's a good point Subsentient...shitting up your code testing for conditions that will never happen.
[04:34:08] <Subsentient> yeh
[04:33:58] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: If it does you're out of RAM and we're fucked anyways.
[04:33:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient, I knew that C was all about pointers, I didn't know that they had that operator though.
[04:33:18] <Ethanol-fueled> I like your comment about "I'm only gonna say this once...malloc will never return NULL
[04:33:18] <Subsentient> I can have a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to an array of pointers to functions that return pointers to functions that return pointers to arrays.
[04:32:50] <Subsentient> C is really, really pointer-ey. It even supports pointers to functions.
[04:32:27] <Ethanol-fueled> I didn't know C supported the "address of" operator
[04:32:13] <Subsentient> the result of that is a pointer to <type of object>
[04:32:05] <Subsentient> That gets the address.
[04:32:00] <Ethanol-fueled> I meant the "&" operator
[04:31:44] <Subsentient> it's not a reference, it's a pointer. I can add and subtract a pointe.r
[04:31:34] <Subsentient> you can also use 0 in place of NULL but it's better to use NULL because that says it's a pointer
[04:31:10] <Subsentient> NULL is actually just (void*)0, and '\0' expands to an int of value 0.
[04:30:44] <Ethanol-fueled> I don't know shit from shine-ola, but I saw both the use of NULL and '\0' and references.
[04:30:34] <Subsentient> C89!
[04:30:32] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: That's as C as it gets. That's C*(!
[04:30:03] <Ethanol-fueled> hahaha Subsentient -- but am I correct in saying that's not C, it's C++ coded in C-style?
[04:29:27] <Subsentient> They can suck my neckbeard.
[04:29:21] <Subsentient> I think people just hate looking at it.
[04:29:14] <Subsentient> myself I doubt it's particularly inefficient
[04:29:05] <Subsentient> well
[04:29:02] <Subsentient>
[04:28:47] <juggs> ~shrug~ there's likely a reason, but I don't code professionally or a great deal, so don't really know. I'd have thought though a decent compiler would make pretty much the same of a bunch of if / else as a switch.
[04:27:21] <Subsentient> and then shortly drowns in their own vomit.
[04:27:13] <Subsentient> but everyone who reads it screams
[04:27:00] <Subsentient> juggs: that's my thinking. I don't get why everyone hates it, and personally I'm not so sure I myself dislike too much of MEMBUS's code.
[04:26:06] <juggs> case and switch are nicely readable to :/
[04:25:07] <juggs> I'm no coder, but I find nested ifs / else-ifs very readable and easy to understand. Why are they so frowned upon?
[04:24:56] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Noone can hear your screams.

[04:13:09] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: That sums it up. So then aqu4'd be like a ten.
[04:13:00] <Ethanol-fueled> Writing in C is like courting a supermodel, but requires more effort and attention.
[04:12:35] <Ethanol-fueled> It's bloated and easy, and requires less effort.
[04:12:20] <juggs> strange analogy
[04:12:12] <Ethanol-fueled> (which isn't always bad, by the way)
[04:12:06] <Ethanol-fueled> programming in Python is like shagging a fat chick.
[04:09:36] <juggs> good plan
[04:09:06] <Subsentient> juggs: Soon enough I'll add /ignore to NEXUS and then all my clients will snub ciri.
[04:08:03] <juggs> Subsentient, use /ignore
[04:07:46] -!- mode/#Soylent [-b ciri!*@*] by juggler
[04:07:35] <Ethanol-fueled> It gives it nerd cred.
[04:07:25] <Ethanol-fueled> SN would be a better place if more users would display their skunk works.
[04:06:57] <Subsentient> People said it'd be a bad idea but honestly it wasn't that hard, and I think she turned out better than she would if in python or something.
[04:06:43] <Ethanol-fueled> You must be a masochist.
[04:06:34] <Subsentient> yeah
[04:06:22] <Ethanol-fueled> You wrote that thing in C?
[04:06:18] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, I've been reading about it in the logs.

[04:04:12] <Subsentient> I fucking hate it. For some reason it bothers me.
[04:04:05] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: I hate that thing. It always says lol when I say lol.
[04:03:50] <Ethanol-fueled> She's a dumb bitch, but not exactly harmful.

[04:03:03] <ciri> lol that's funny!
[04:03:03] <Subsentient> LOL
[04:02:57] <Ethanol-fueled> that wasn't a bug, subsentient...that was Ncommander rejecting your post.
[04:02:35] <Subsentient> yes something like that.
[04:02:25] <Ethanol-fueled> Still shoulda posted it though. Lemme guess, you fell victim to the infamous "form expired" bug or whatever it is?
[04:02:20] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: you code?
[04:01:59] <Subsentient> Well yeah.
[04:01:49] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah.
[04:01:37] <Subsentient> Remember the part about strangely uncomfortable for hours?
[04:01:20] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Yes it is. I warned you.
[04:01:11] <Ethanol-fueled> Now the undead gerbils thing is a little weird.
[04:00:48] <Ethanol-fueled> Until he died.
[04:00:46] <Ethanol-fueled> As the entry alludes, I got the idea from how Dostoevsky's Father was killed. He was an abusive and much-hated officer in the Russian army. One day, his subordinates got tired of his shit and held him down while pouring vodka down his throat.
[04:00:15] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Actually everyone but you was turned into red liquid by undead gerbils.
[03:59:45] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient, as long as I didn't die that way. The idea was that I had to die by way of poetic justice, and forceful alcohol poisoning was the way to go.
[03:59:45] <Subsentient> it was really fruity.
[03:59:36] <Subsentient> In the end, it's probably good it failed. I'd lose all respect from anyone who read that.
[03:58:57] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient -- that's too bad. I invite anybody who wishes to extend or otherwise twist the fanfic to do so.
[03:58:49] <Subsentient> I'll tell you it involved chocolate syrup up the nostrils and jumper cables on nipples.
[03:58:19] <Subsentient> I tried to post it but it was lost.
[03:58:12] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: I forgot to tell you, I almost posted a reply story to your 'ethanol meets soylent' story. It was a mindfuck and would leave you laughing and strangely uncomfortable for hours afterwards.
[03:58:11] <Ethanol-fueled> "Noone who speaks German could be an evil man. Parole granted!"
[03:57:56] <Ethanol-fueled> "that's German for 'The Bart, The.'"
[03:57:40] <Ethanol-fueled> "why does your tattoo say ' Die Bart Die?"
[03:57:23] <Ethanol-fueled> But the later episodes where Bob recurred were always good.
[03:57:06] <Ethanol-fueled> Sideshow Bob is also evil.
[03:56:56] <Subsentient> Not mine. I looked like an evil shirley temple.
[03:56:40] <Ethanol-fueled> Afros are cool though
[03:55:25] <Subsentient> Interestingly I'm of average intelligence.
[03:55:10] <Subsentient> My head was freakishly huge, so much that they thought I was defective at birth. I looked like an alien until age 12.
[03:54:29] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Since I was 4 years old I've usually looked like I have a nasty ass afro.
[03:53:35] <Ethanol-fueled> HAHAHHAH
[03:53:13] <Subsentient> I can take comfort in the fact I at least *look* normal, with a nice neckbeard and exploding cigar curly hair.
[03:52:37] <Ethanol-fueled> It's like a Mr. Bean movie or Pink Panther cartoon.
[03:52:33] <Subsentient> As a result I literally hve difficulty believing my own life, wondering if I'm a test in some deranged alien experiment.
[03:52:28] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient, it happens. Sometimes you just wanna be a normal guy living a normal life, and all this weird shit keeps happening to you.
[03:52:06] <Subsentient> it's filled with insanity.
[03:52:00] <Subsentient> is not filled with ghetto or drugs or buse
[03:51:53] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: My life is insane, in the literal meaning of the word It'
[03:51:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Guess that comes with knowing a coke-dealer who sold since age 17.
[03:50:53] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient, the sad thing is that a lot of my journal entries are true stories.
[03:50:32] <Ethanol-fueled> I'll save that one for REAL writer's block.
[03:50:24] <Ethanol-fueled> I also pulled another one that's more overtly racist, but I toned it down by replacing every instance of "Ni**er" with "Black men"
[03:45:54] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: clicking
[03:42:44] <Ethanol-fueled> It's in a journal entry called "Vine street"
[03:42:34] <Ethanol-fueled> It's really nostalgic to see your hard work brought back to live anew.
[03:42:12] <Ethanol-fueled> thanks to strength_of-10_men's tip, I yanked another old gem from Slashdot because I'm having a case of writer's block now.

[02:43:13] <SpallsHurgenson> don't worry, you'll get it back eventually :)
[02:35:36] <chr> I dunno if I can condone recycling
[02:31:14] <SpallsHurgenson> teach the puppy to eat its expulsions :)
[02:25:11] <chr> We're high class over here
[02:25:07] <chr> and dishes afterward
[02:25:02] <chr> I do have her well-trained to expect food bits while cooking
[02:22:33] <SpallsHurgenson> serves you right for getting steak-flavored berber :)
[02:20:48] <chr> If she'd quit licking carpet then she wouldn't be coughing up hair
[02:20:22] <chr> Stupid dog
[02:13:47] <SpallsHurgenson> if you use RepeatedlyPoundToMash mode, yes :)
[02:13:23] <paulej72> but do they purée
[02:12:25] <SpallsHurgenson> they slice, dice and jullienne!
[02:11:08] <paulej72> just run the gauntlets over the potatoes no need for a knife
[02:10:22] <SpallsHurgenson> also really hard to cut your finger while slicing potatoes while wearing these :)
[02:10:18] <paulej72> no need to duel then
[02:09:57] <SpallsHurgenson> perfect for carefully pulling off, then slamming into the face of somebody annoying. "I challenge thee to a duel!" :)
[02:09:47] <paulej72> also looks like they would pinch the junk ;)
[02:08:50] <paulej72> those look like tin foil
[02:08:42] <SpallsHurgenson> yeah, there was a leak... so they took down half the ceiling in the den. it's very silent-hill here now :)
[02:08:20] <paulej72> too heavy
[02:07:47] <SpallsHurgenson> I want some proper gauntlets http://www.esford.com
[02:06:24] <paulej72> is your ceiling missing?
[02:05:34] <paulej72> need to get some chainmail gloves like butchers use
[02:05:25] <SpallsHurgenson> there was a roach coming down the wall from the crawlspace where my ceiling used to be. I freaked out :)
[02:03:58] <SpallsHurgenson> fingers are stupidly vulnerable. they should be heavily armored given that we stick them into all sorts of dangerous places
[02:03:31] <paulej72> or were you trying to kill the bug living on your junk
[02:03:12] <chr> He meant to be huffing paint
[02:03:07] <SpallsHurgenson> there was a roach. I went a bid overboard with the spray... then sat in the room for half an hour :)
[02:02:46] <paulej72> were you using it as hairspray
[02:02:00] <paulej72> it was a tiny cut but it bled real good
[02:01:30] <SpallsHurgenson> I nearly poisoned myself with Raid roach spray the other day :)
[02:00:58] <paulej72> good thing I am ambidextrous where it counts
[01:57:23] <SpallsHurgenson> oh good, so at least you can drive :)
[01:57:07] <paulej72> well the bandage makes it stick our more
[01:56:25] <SpallsHurgenson> now how will you indicate your mood?
[01:54:17] * paulej72 cut my middle finger washing a knife
[01:29:16] <SpallsHurgenson> dredd was okay, but I was hoping for something bigger from the franchise. I mean, there was very little "dredd-like" about the movie

[00:57:52] <AndyTheAbsurd> Stargate or Blues Brother or The Man From Earth.
[00:57:52] <SpallsHurgenson> maybe I'll finally take the opportunity to watch Die Hard, like I said I was gonna do a couple days ago
[00:57:05] <SpallsHurgenson> I dunno :)
[00:56:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> Do you want some thing action-y, funny, or deep? or something else?
