[00:19:59] <TLA> mornin' all
[00:20:41] <SirFinkus> afternoon TLA
[00:21:52] <SpallsHurgenson> evening
[00:22:47] <TLA> :) first submission just went in, be kind!
[00:23:29] * chromas passes out pitchforks
[00:23:46] * TLA runs for the hills
[00:28:39] <SpallsHurgenson> I don't think there are any hills on IRC
[00:30:44] <TLA> where there are pitchforks, there are hills
[00:37:36] <SirFinkus> fucking lights flickering again
[00:37:52] <paulej72> the hill are alive with the sound of pitchforks
[00:38:57] <TLA> not just pitchforks - broken reference audio codecs, too :( Oh well, no sleep for me tonight...
[00:42:23] <TLA> oh, that'll be why - crossed versions :\ dunno how that happened.
[00:46:06] <SpallsHurgenson> that's why the only codecs I use are for braille
[00:46:21] <SpallsHurgenson> and... erm... deaf braille :)
[00:49:44] <TLA> I have to have as many as I can lay my hands on installed because I get lots of source in all sorts of container formats I have to convert to working form. Not least because Real Audio is a pain in the arse to edit.
[00:51:05] <SirFinkus> people still use Real?
[00:51:12] <SpallsHurgenson> bah, I don't believe you! everyone knows Real Audio is just a ghost story people tell to scare new IT guys! :)
[00:51:22] <SirFinkus> I guess that settles it, there is no god
[00:52:09] <TLA> my mum gave me a hard drive wishlist today she wants converting for her jukebox... mostly in RA, lots of FLAC, a bit of SHN and a few tens of thousands of containerised .wav which I suspect are actually .aac or .wma
[00:52:50] <SpallsHurgenson> I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your mother hates you :)
[00:53:03] <TLA> yep, I realised that going through the list...
[00:53:11] <paulej72> no shye is just a sadist
[00:53:18] <SirFinkus> I hope the RA is lossless, or the transcodes are going to sound pretty shityty
[00:53:48] <SirFinkus> never heard of SHN
[00:53:51] <TLA> gonna need 4TB of hard drive space just to convert to an intermediate pcm format...
[00:54:01] <TLA> SHN is similar to FLAC
[00:54:21] <SirFinkus> you shouldn't, that's like a bash one liner
[00:55:31] <TLA> hm... could just run the lot through to 320k mp3 in one shot, still take days tho
[00:56:17] <SirFinkus> well, you'll need to do that anyway I'd assume
[00:56:24] <SirFinkus> you just won't need the 4TB
[00:56:32] <TLA> exactly

[00:57:10] <NetCraft> ^ 03GNU Parallel- GNU Project - Free Software Foundation
[00:57:17] <SirFinkus> might be helpful provided you have cores
[00:57:35] <TLA> not a problem, I have a two tier cluster
[00:59:21] <TLA> might just see how fast this 2.6 can handle the job for the moment tho...
[00:59:54] <SirFinkus> how big is the job?
[01:00:28] <TLA> it's an almost-full 1TB drive. There's 6GB free on it.,
[01:00:40] <TLA> doing a file count now
[01:00:58] <SirFinkus> ouch
[01:01:53] <SirFinkus> probably going to need an additional 512GB to dump the completed files off too
[01:01:56] <TLA> I'll say now it's not an impossible task, I've got my entire CD collection ripped to 320k mp3 on a 2TB drive (which is also full)
[01:02:39] <paulej72> i would guess none of her collection matches with your’s
[01:02:56] <TLA> ok, file count done: 121,093 files on 6141 folders. Oh, I'm batching this, not picking through 6 thousand folders manually!
[01:03:27] <SirFinkus> well, yeah, it's super possible
[01:03:30] <TLA> some of it might, actually, we both share a lot of music interests
[01:03:34] <paulej72> here is the first line: rm -rf
[01:03:45] <paulej72> i bet the job will go real fast
[01:03:57] <SirFinkus> for a job that big, you'd probably want a script with resume support and stuff
[01:03:59] <TLA> ooh, you sod lol
[01:04:01] <SirFinkus> and error checking
[01:04:40] <TLA> error checking's going to consist of random sampling and she can be happy with that! :)
[01:05:01] <paulej72> it like linking the tape dev to /dev/null to speed up backups
[01:05:19] <SirFinkus> I mostly meant in the sense that one corrupt file isn't going to grind the entire process to a halt the instant you walk away from the machine
[01:06:16] <TLA> aha... yeah, the software has a pretty decent corrupt file handler, I've been uing it for years
[01:06:58] <TLA> basically it deletes the partial convert and logs the error, moves on to the next file
[01:07:16] <SirFinkus> honestly, I'd just drop everything in XLD, but I'm on OSX and have *only* 100GB of music
[01:11:02] <paulej72> wow, I only have 10GB
[01:11:03] <SpallsHurgenson> man, boasting about the size of your music library is so 2008 :) :)

[01:12:20] <TLA> I should say, the tree listing fits on a floppy disk :p
[01:12:39] <Bytram> TLA: just saw your story submission -- well written!
[01:12:44] <paulej72> would rather have a gross
[01:13:31] <TLA> thanky :) I'm well excited, I caught the 1999 eclipse, the most amazing experience of my life up to that point

[01:13:47] <TLA> oh knuts
[01:13:49] <SirFinkus> never any good solar eclipses where I live

[01:14:19] <juggs> paulej72, Do we / I need to do a 15_03 release story? If so is TMB's list here complete? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com
[01:14:39] <TLA> I missed that one...
[01:14:52] <Bytram> I figured as much.
[01:14:56] <paulej72> juggs: NCommander did that friday
[01:15:05] <SirFinkus> dohoho
[01:15:09] <Bytram> TLA: hold on...
[01:15:10] <juggs> dayum - musta missed it!

[01:17:54] <juggs> Hmm - looks like I skipped a whole page of articles somehow :/ Reading now :D
[01:18:56] <TLA> the 2017 eclipse is going from Oregon to South Carolina taking in Wyoming and Tennessee along the way.
[01:19:43] <SirFinkus> I might drive south to get a better view
[01:20:28] <TLA> http://www.eclipse2017.org that is the most awesome track ever
[01:21:16] <TLA> maximum eclipse is just outside of Clarksville
[01:21:23] <paulej72> are they normally that narrow
[01:21:35] <TLA> yes, in fact that's pretty wide
[01:22:03] <TLA> umbral track is usually about 8-12 miles wide

[01:26:28] <Bytram> TLA: got some good news for ya
[01:26:58] <Bytram> after discussing your submission with another editor, it is, sadly, too late to merge into the story we already ran, and too similar to run on its own.
[01:27:33] <Bytram> but, it was an excellent effort, so we'll do some stuff behind the scenes so you get credit for it
[01:27:47] <Bytram> and recommend that you submit your story as a comment to the story.

[01:49:24] <Bus> cool
[01:49:30] <Bytram> lol!
[01:50:38] <Bus> I was wondering whether having Sunday be a general discussion day would be a good idea, with an article that would be left on which summarizes some of the themes of the prior week's stories.
[01:51:44] <Bytram> Bus: sounds interesting! Submit a story on friday and we'd love to take a look at it
[01:52:09] <Bus> I am a suggester not a doer!
[01:52:28] * SirFinkus grumbles something under his breath about meta monday
[01:52:29] <Bus> just kidding. But I do have an important conference Friday
[01:52:45] <Bytram> oh, in that case... pbbbthhhhht! ;)
[01:52:49] <Bus> Soylent Sunday Roundup!
[01:53:07] <Bytram> jk
[01:53:11] <SirFinkus> soundoff would be better
[01:53:15] <SirFinkus> more alliteration
[01:53:28] <Bus> Soylent Soundoff
[01:53:36] <n1> the weekends being quiet suggest two things, 1) we have jobs 2) we like to slack off from those jobs
[01:53:37] <Bytram> Soylent Soundoff Sounds Off
[01:53:58] <Bus> Soylent News Roundup
[01:54:00] <Bytram> or, poeple who have jobs like to get a break and come here
[01:54:09] <n1> you're too nice, Bytram
[01:54:10] <Bytram> hmmm, SNR?
[01:54:12] <Bus> pretty much
[01:54:27] <Bus> Signal to Noise ratio?
[01:54:27] <SirFinkus> soulent chaturday
[01:54:32] <Bus> that is what we are known for right
[01:54:41] <Bytram> SNR == Signal to Noise Ratio
[01:55:09] <Bytram> SNR == Signal to Noise Ratio == Soylent News Roundup
[01:55:34] <n1> maybe we can give it a try next week
[01:55:54] <Bytram> SoylentNews is RoundupReady (take THAT monsanto!)
[01:56:03] <Bus> That would be neat. Conversations do have a way of growing when in the same forum
[01:56:08] <Bus> lol
[01:56:09] <ciri> it's not that funny :)
[01:56:15] <Bus> no it isnt
[01:56:21] <n1> still run subs as normal but pin the weeky roundup to the top?
[01:56:27] * n1 kicks ciri
[01:56:49] <Bytram> n1: I dunno if we can pin stories?
[01:56:51] <Bus> probs
[01:57:16] <n1> i dont think we actually can
[01:57:17] * Bytram volunteers to have n1 come in each hour and update the story time for the article
[01:57:23] <n1> maybe fast-forward it
[01:57:24] <n1> heh
[01:57:37] <Bytram> no more fast forward... lost that in the 15_03 upgrade
[01:57:46] * Bytram has no idea why it went away, though
[01:57:46] <n1> actually i'd say have it 2nd from top anyway
[01:58:00] <n1> make sure people see there is new stories coming in still
[01:58:08] <n1> so dont just see 'weekly roundup' and think we're down for the weekend
[01:58:20] <n1> 'cus we dont get no time off!
[01:58:40] <Bytram> interesting... I don't think I would have thought of that.
[01:58:46] <Bus> no time. Slaves soyling away.
[01:59:06] <Bytram> prolly cause I've seen something similar on enought other sites to not think of it that way
[01:59:20] * Bytram seems to recall that /. tried that for a while
[01:59:29] <n1> having a roundup?
[01:59:37] <Bus> or pinning?
[01:59:48] <n1> well most news site do pinning in some form
[01:59:53] <Bytram> I thnk they called is blackslash or somethng like that
[01:59:56] <n1> for the most popular stories
[02:00:24] <Bytram> I'll occasionally see something like that on Ars, but not as a regular thing.
[02:00:51] <n1> it's probably not that noticable, because it will move around their main page
[02:00:51] <Bus> I got it from Diane Rehms Friday News Roundup radio show
[02:01:02] <Bytram> nod nod, I'm familiar
[02:01:06] <n1> not ars specifically, but in general
[02:01:34] <n1> i still see fast forward on prod
[02:01:43] <Bytram> instead of coming up with new material, it's easier to have some folks come together and rehash what has already been reported is how I look at those
[02:02:03] <Bytram> prolly not the best attitude, but I've gotten morecynical as I gt older
[02:02:15] <Bytram> n1: really?
[02:02:20] <n1> i dont think i can get anymore cynical
[02:02:22] <n1> :/
[02:02:39] <n1> just below where you set the time
[02:02:39] <Bus> maybe, but I think it is good to rehash things after thinking about them more through the week.
[02:03:10] <Bytram> n1: huh. wasn't there when I first edited and approved this story:<Bus> Soylent News Roundup
[02:03:32] <Bytram> I guess it only appears if you are coming in a second time? Strange!
[02:03:34] <Bytram> nograb
[02:03:47] <n1> shows up for me on that story
[02:03:52] <n1> let me see on another sub
[02:04:08] <n1> yup
[02:04:12] <n1> but that makes sense
[02:04:21] <n1> since you cant fast-forward a story that hasnt been out yet
[02:04:25] <Bytram> I noticed it was missing when I went to approve some stories on dev
[02:04:29] <Bytram> was wondering where it went
[02:05:07] <Bytram> well, breaking news... why do I have to preview, save, and reopen and fastforward just to get it out *right* *now*?
[02:05:10] <Bytram> sense no makes
[02:05:24] <n1> set the time right.
[02:05:32] <Bus> I'll have to join the irc more in the future. Thanks for considering my idea. I appreciate that. Gotta go work on my talk now. I'm out-Buswolley
[02:05:40] <n1> laters, Bus
[02:06:08] <Bytram> Bus: best of luck... thanks for stopping bye!
[02:06:55] <n1> when you normally go to preview a story, it sets the time about 20minutes from 'now' so it should be easy to figure out when 'now' is
[02:07:27] <Bytram> yeah, but that would be the point when I would most want to be able to click a box and run with it!
[02:07:44] <n1> i agree
[02:08:00] <Bytram> just finished dinner -- dishes -- biab

[02:15:55] <TLA> ok but not the middle one.
[02:17:02] <Bytram> OUCH!
[02:17:07] <SpallsHurgenson> no, looks like that one was already amputated
[02:23:02] <TLA> oh I wondered what that thing was I keep my golf clubs in...

[02:50:18] <Bytram> ouch.
[02:53:40] <TLA> seems to be fine here too, just dropped another submission in
[02:54:00] <TLA> looking at another one regarding bomb-proof tyres
[02:54:55] <TLA> unless someone else wants that one?
[02:55:23] <TLA> oh nm, the story's from january
[02:59:55] <mrcoolbp> TLA: = (
[03:01:39] <juggs> bomb-proof tyres - sounds like a fun read. I'd be more interested in a bomb-proof car - if a bomb goes of under my tyre, I don't think I'd be worrying about a puncture repair. :/
[03:02:04] <TLA> interesting though... more interesting than Goodyear's energy reclamation tyre IMO. I'd rather have a wheel that's not only lighter but by virtue of its construction, bullet and bomb proof.
[03:02:44] <TLA> http://www.industrytap.com that's the link for the tyre
[03:02:45] <NetCraft> ^ 03New Airless Tires Improve Battlefield and Off-Road Performance - Industry Tap
[03:04:19] <TLA> it's very old tech (post WWI) but it's made a bit of a comeback over the last ten years, alas not in civilian circles. I'd really like something like this for my bike trailer, right now I have wheels that weigh five pounds each, that's just extra weight to tow.
[03:05:49] <TLA> I mean, those things beat the snot out of run-flats
[03:06:32] <SpallsHurgenson> that's probably a good thing; if civilians started needing bomb proof tires, it just might indicate more pressing issues :)
[03:07:44] <TLA> not so much that, it means not having to stop to repair a puncture in $random_middleofnowhere, which any biker will tell you puts a complete crimp on your day

[04:20:36] <Ethanol-fueled> holy shit
[04:20:47] <Ethanol-fueled> There was just a stabbing in the alley where I live now.
[04:21:19] <Ethanol-fueled> I walk out to buy more booze and this Black woman walks out with a baseball bat, with another crackhead on a bike snickering.
[04:21:19] <chromas> who's the lucky feller?
[04:21:29] <Ethanol-fueled> chromas, a man stabbed a woman.
[04:21:59] <chromas> with a broken bottle?
[04:22:00] <Ethanol-fueled> Funny thing is that they're trying to gentrify this area. Good fucking luck.
[04:22:22] <Ethanol-fueled> This is City Heights, also known as "Shitty Heights."
[04:22:42] <Ethanol-fueled> we have regular shootings, stabbings, and spree arson here.
[04:23:10] <Ethanol-fueled> I was hit by an arsonist, actually, and that fire was right near my gas line.

[04:27:32] <Ethanol-fueled> too bad Seattle ain't like it, hahah
[04:27:42] <SirFinkus> Rainier is a shithole too, but a different type
[04:28:36] <SirFinkus> I love the high school page, it reads like an advertisement
[04:28:36] <SirFinkus> http://en.wikipedia.org
[04:28:37] <NetCraft> ^ 03Wiki: Rainier Beach High School
[04:28:48] <SirFinkus> "Rainier Beach has a history of trying new things, beginning with its founding. "
[04:29:19] <SirFinkus> Along with program recognition (1998 Golden Apple Teaching Academy winner) a tight knit community which supports and develops close knit community relationships. 4 Much of the stigma of the Rainier Valley is often placed on the school, however the academics and the student successes are often over looked. Rainier Beach is trying to share their view of the school with their new approach.
[04:29:41] <SirFinkus> also looks like it was written by a non-native English speaker or something
[04:29:46] <Ethanol-fueled> So what's the problem, Finkus?
[04:30:02] <Ethanol-fueled> Outsourcing the IT department?
[04:30:37] <SirFinkus> "RBHS is in a troubled section of the city, and many incidents occurring in the area are automatically assumed to be caused by gang-affiliated young men"
[04:31:32] <Ethanol-fueled> Finkus - so, Blacks and Hispanics?
[04:32:10] <Ethanol-fueled> I know there are a lot of White Trash in WA, but I wasn't aware that they were rabblerousers.
[04:32:11] <SirFinkus> As of October 2007, 59.8% of enrolled students were African American, 24.4% were Asian, 9.4% were Hispanic, 5% were White and 1.4% were Native American. Of the 361 students, 61.8% qualify for free or reduced lunch.
[04:32:27] <SirFinkus> It is the only high school in the state of Washington where African-American students account for the majority of the student body.
[04:33:23] <SirFinkus> I think there are pockets of white nationalism living out the the sticks
[04:33:34] <SirFinkus> trying to start a new country or something
[04:33:57] <Ethanol-fueled> Here in California we just had a high school scandal, nothing was said about races or ethnicities but what was said was that the perps were on the football and basketball teams.
[04:34:25] <Ethanol-fueled> Though it was Venice, so I don't care if Los Angeles is wiped off the map.
[04:36:45] <SirFinkus> LA is an ugly city, I'd hate to live there
[04:36:54] <SirFinkus> only been a few times though
[04:37:29] <Ethanol-fueled> LA is the ugliest city I've ever visited. Lived there for a few years. Terrible.
[04:38:09] <SirFinkus> spokane is probably slightly uglier, but it's barely a city

[14:57:26] <CoolHand> I was wondering about that... That's why I just specified that there was a setting, and not that it worked.. :)
[14:57:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> heya, CoolHand. how goes the editor training?

[15:00:05] <wisnoskij> Thanks for the headsup.
[15:00:22] <TLA> there's a sci fi convention just up the road from me, and I can't get in 'cos I'm broke :(
[15:00:43] <TLA> all the surviving Doctors are there, as is the entire Red Dwarf cast
[15:01:29] <TLA> (I know who's there 'cos my brother served Tom Baker his breakfast this morning)
[15:02:11] <CoolHand> TLA: where at? Indy had a comic-con this past w/e.. my kid went..
[15:02:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> TLA, and you haven't sold your car/blood/sperm for a ticket?!
[15:02:42] <TLA> it's Em-Con at the Nottingham Indoor Arena
[15:03:21] <CoolHand> can u get a loan on our 401k? :)
[15:04:01] <TLA> nah, I'll just continue planning my eclipse viewing...
[15:04:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> hell, i'd sell someone else's car for a Tom Baker autographed scarf.
[15:05:50] <CoolHand> I've been a scifi/fantasy fan my whole life, but never really gotten into the Dr... (I know, I should turn in my card) I watched some with my Dad as a kid, but it never really grabbed me. I've thought about checking out the newest series sometime, but just never gotten around to it
[15:07:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> new series doctors are all good but my favorite's still Baker
[15:07:28] <TLA> right now I've got two telescopes lined up for box projection, two webcams with pinhole caps, an 800x zoom DV camcorder and two compact digital cameras all with pinhole caps, and a bare webcam board mounted on a 1200mm F8 Schmidt telephoto
[15:08:01] <TLA> something tells me I'm going to be short on tripods...
[15:08:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> dude, you are so an astronomy geek.
[15:08:31] <TLA> it's my third solar eclipse, this time I want pictures.
[15:09:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'll prolly be busy driving a moving van or unpacking by then. no time for star-gazing.
[15:09:58] <CoolHand> definitely astro geek.. :) I just have a 30 year old 6-inch reflector.. been thinking about mounting my dslr lensless to the eyepiece with an adepter.. that's about as fancy as I get - can't afford all that other fancy imaging stuff
[15:11:29] <wisnoskij> I really can't stand any humourous/parody at all. Dr. Red Dwarf, it does not matter. I am too serious about my scifi to like parodies of it, I guess.
[15:15:47] <TLA> one of the best episodes of RD was "Confidence & Paranoia", where the Big Red One had been accelerating for the last three million years and was just about to break the light barrier... and Holly pointed out that to slow down he had to turn around and thrust the other way, which would take time.
[15:18:46] <TLA> my observing station is basically my bedroom - you don't need fancy, just something you can see the sun from. Lucky me, I've got 30 square feet of window to fill with sensors. So that's what I'm gonna do, and totally remove any possibility of my gear getting rained on..
[15:18:53] <CoolHand> wisnoskij: come on, spaceballs?
[15:18:55] <CoolHand> :)
[15:19:49] <wisnoskij> OK, I don't activly dislike spaceball.
[15:20:08] <wisnoskij> But then I have never been a fan of star wars in particular.
[15:20:44] <TLA> trying to remember the date of my first eclipse, my second was the August 1999 one. My first was in the 80's, all I remember from that is a two inch refractor, a bloody big hill and the most spectacular sunset ever - the Moon took a bite out of the Sun as it was going down

[21:20:23] <takyon> Saudis are itching for nukes, Putin showed his mug in public, dashing everybody's hopes, Uber is challenging Tesla in China, more from the Crimea doc, Elton John is pissed at Dolce and Gabbana over IVF comments, Curiosity rover robot arm was "fixed", Google cold storage is hot, anti-robot protest at SXSW, NASA is teaming up with Planetary Resources for an asteroid crowdsourcing project
[21:24:05] <crutchy> wow! nasa has to fund itself with crowdsourcing now!?
[21:24:43] <takyon> this is like a Folding@Home type thing
[21:24:51] <takyon> http://www.theregister.co.uk
[21:24:51] <NetCraft> ^ 03NASA wants you to help space mining corp strip mine the Solar System • The Register
[21:25:09] <crutchy> they could learn a thing or 10 about how to run a space agency that does cool stuff for a fraction of the price
[21:25:29] <crutchy> from the russians
[21:25:34] <takyon> or India
[21:25:52] <takyon> NASA does a lot with a limited budget though
[21:26:16] <crutchy> they buy flights on russian rockets :p
[21:26:36] <takyon> that's what they don't want to do. they want to buy American and cheap
[21:26:52] <takyon> Administrator Bolden: "I don't want to write another check for the Russians"
[21:26:59] <crutchy> american and cheap are kinda contradictory
[21:27:06] <takyon> not in the case of SpaceX
[21:28:07] <crutchy> true, but spacex is likely loads cheaper than boeing and lockheed martin or rocketdyne etc
[21:28:28] <takyon> SpaceX and Boeing are the two that NASA picked for manned flights
[21:28:56] <takyon> so expect actual competition rather than military industrial complex BS
[21:29:06] <crutchy> boeing likely has lots of political favors
[21:29:36] <crutchy> military industrial complex owns both US political parties
[21:29:53] <takyon> they spread their manufacturing across many states to maximize the amount of congressmen and senators affected
[21:30:07] <crutchy> that's how it works :)
[21:30:39] <crutchy> very inefficient and expensive
[21:30:55] <takyon> it's stimulus
[21:30:59] -!- TK has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[21:31:04] <crutchy> that too
[21:31:15] <crutchy> poor taxpayers
[21:31:48] <crutchy> and future generations
[21:32:29] <crutchy> "let's borrow on our grandkids' behalf so we can enjoy the 'now'"
[21:33:03] <n1> "lets borrow on their grandkids' behalf so we can get richer now"
[21:33:25] <takyon> "our grandkids" will have cheap solar and fusion
[21:33:30] <takyon> they can pay off our debts
[21:34:55] <crutchy> well they kinda have no choice do they
[21:35:38] <takyon> damn straight
[21:35:52] <takyon> their fault for being born
[21:38:11] <crutchy> damn. gotta go to workipoos :(
