[00:00:39] * AndyTheAbsurd thinks he'll point wget -R --random-wait at this URL later.
[00:02:33] <CloudGuy> I need to find a nice source of high-res Chris Foss paintings too :)
[00:03:08] <poutine> really getting sick of hearing how the new pope isn't so bad. Is he a figurehead for a hate organization that less than a decade ago was neck deep in child raping scandals? Does he still have a throne and a sceptre? Fortunes beyond belief squandered from the sick, weak and poor? I don't give a crap if he says "well maybe gays won't go to hell" a couple of times, this guy is a piece of shit. For an organization like the catholic church to bounce back
[00:03:08] <poutine> after their priests were raping and molesting children blows my mind
[00:08:58] <SanityCheck> the child raping has been going on for centuries probably
[00:12:47] <mechanicjay> eh, change has to start somewhere. He's already done more than all his predecessors combined to deal with the child rapists and internal rot in the organization.
[00:13:42] <mechanicjay> The Catholic church, much like Democratic party isn't going anywhere. Might as well have someone who doesn't completely suck at the helm.
[00:13:50] <SirFinkus> is the last pope still be sheltered in the vatican?
[00:19:07] <CloudGuy> ooh, I have a sudden urge to buy a van so I can paint this on the rear panels http://astrona.blogspot.com
[00:19:08] <Schwifty> ^ 03Astrona: Wallpapers | Space and Astronomical Art Journal
[00:20:28] <SirFinkus> I want a semi so I can weld spikes and a cow catcher to it
[00:21:29] <CloudGuy> hey, they work on a hyundai too!
[00:22:15] <SanityCheck> so who is doing the dev work for this site?
[00:22:28] <SanityCheck> where can I get a peek at the git repo?
[00:24:38] <poutine> SanityCheck, I have no involvement in anything, but I believe it's easily searchable via google, but I'm more curious which angle you're approaching it from
[00:25:08] <poutine> Are you checking to contribute, analyze, duplicate?
[00:25:33] <SanityCheck> https://github.com you are correct
[00:25:34] <Schwifty> ^ 03SoylentNews/slashcode · GitHub
[00:25:57] <SanityCheck> I wanted to make angularjs front end if it is modular enough, but not sure if it has a decent API
[00:26:25] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - What Language Should People Learn for the Future? - http://sylnt.us - klingon
[00:26:47] <poutine> I think it should be rewritten in a modern language
[00:27:02] <SanityCheck> at least mdoern framework
[00:27:13] <SanityCheck> but that is so much work :/
[00:27:25] <SanityCheck> usually big codebase wins the battle of wills
[00:30:08] <SirFinkus> http://glowforge.com fuck, I want this
[00:30:10] <Schwifty> ^ 03Glowforge - the 3D laser printer
[00:58:56] <CloudGuy> if only they came preinstalled with artistic skill so normal people could use 'em too :)
[01:04:56] <SanityCheck> I was crazy about 3D printing a while back
[01:05:03] <SanityCheck> never really did anythign about it lol
[01:10:47] * CloudGuy dumps more and more cheesy sci-fi and fantasy art-work into his desktop wallpaper folder

[01:43:17] <SpallsHurgenson> (oooh, I can change the interval for switching wallpaper for each monitor seperately... this excites me for reasons I cannot rightly explain!)
[01:48:59] <SirFinkus> I set up ubuntu for my grandma's computer and there was a way to set the screensaver to display random images from a photobucket account, so we upload pictures to that occasionally
[01:49:06] <SirFinkus> neat little feature
[01:49:23] <SirFinkus> got nuked in a dist-upgrade though
[01:49:42] <Bytram> get them to beat against each other! Cycle through 3 wallpapers. Put up a new one on the LHS (Left hand side) every 2 minutes and on the RHS every 3 minutes. At some point they'll be the same (I think)
[01:52:13] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm just having 'em flicker past every few seconds until I'm drooling on the floor from a seizure :)

[01:57:40] <SirFinkus> wow, instagib
[01:57:47] <SpallsHurgenson> that video makes me feel all finny inside
[01:58:01] * SirFinkus fires railgun bolts at everyone in the room
[01:59:43] * SpallsHurgenson continues to twitch on the carpet
[02:00:00] * SirFinkus just freed up 10 GB on his ssd
[02:00:20] <SpallsHurgenson> oooh, that's like three new linux .ISOs!
[02:00:53] * SirFinkus now has 15.77GB free
[02:01:22] <SpallsHurgenson> that's not survivable. quick, to the SSD store!
[02:01:48] <SirFinkus> naw, it's cool, I have spinning rust backup
[02:01:56] <SirFinkus> it's the lossless music
[02:14:48] <SirFinkus> fuck the cloud
[02:15:49] <SpallsHurgenson> what, no foreplay?
[02:16:01] <SirFinkus> it's either 1) shit that gets in my way B: shit I was doing anyway, but now people want me to pay for

[02:17:27] <SpallsHurgenson> the cloud is SOOOOO yesterday.
[02:17:32] <SpallsHurgenson> these days its all Internet of Things.
[02:17:36] <SpallsHurgenson> get with the times, old man!
[02:18:07] <SirFinkus> like that fucking laser cutter
[02:18:13] <SirFinkus> neat product
[02:18:30] <SirFinkus> but "cloud" bullshit means if someone steals my login information, they can pull of the ultimate DOS attack
[02:18:33] <SirFinkus> burning my house down
[02:19:00] <SpallsHurgenson> Laser. Laser. Laaaayser. LaySER. Laser. That's a funny word.
[02:20:23] <SirFinkus> lays her? I hardly know her ah yuk yuk yuk
[02:20:42] <SpallsHurgenson> that old joke? surely you can't be serious
[02:20:54] <SirFinkus> I'm not, it was a joke
[02:21:01] <SirFinkus> ba dum tish
[02:21:06] * SpallsHurgenson waits for it...
[02:21:43] <SirFinkus> and the correct reply to that is "careful with that one, it's an antique"
[02:22:20] <SirFinkus> the lays her joke I mean
[02:22:32] * SpallsHurgenson bites his lip in agony... I'm sure he'll be getting to it anytime now
[02:22:59] <SanityCheck_> IoT is the most hilarious of all the buzzy trends. It's understood the least by the MBAs
[02:23:03] <SirFinkus> I'm not, and don't call me shirley?
[02:23:20] <SpallsHurgenson> <whew>
[02:23:29] <SpallsHurgenson> I don't think I could have taken if for much longer!
[02:23:31] <SirFinkus> I had to dig deep for that one
[02:23:45] <SirFinkus> it works better spoken
[02:24:32] <SpallsHurgenson> everything here is pumped through text-to-speech since I'm functionally illiterate :)
[02:25:09] <SirFinkus> so this laser printer sends the print job to "the cloud" and back to your printer because the printer doesn't have a strong enough cpu to make all the calculations required for a laser print job
[02:25:34] <SirFinkus> if only there was a way to make these calculations on a faster processor a few feet away from the printer...
[02:26:02] <SirFinkus> that didn't require an internet connection either
[02:26:07] <SirFinkus> that would be a neat feature
[02:26:12] <SirFinkus> shit, I'm on to something
[02:26:18] <SpallsHurgenson> you madman! focus on the possible!
[02:26:24] <SirFinkus> no
[02:26:25] <SirFinkus> wait
[02:26:26] <SirFinkus> wait
[02:26:28] <SirFinkus> wait
[02:26:30] <SirFinkus> what if
[02:26:38] <SpallsHurgenson> ooh, the tension is killing me!
[02:26:47] <SirFinkus> like, you drew what you wanted to print on your laptop or computer or something
[02:27:11] <SirFinkus> and it did the calculations
[02:27:19] <SirFinkus> and here's the inovation
[02:27:33] <SirFinkus> you had some kind of electrical signaling device
[02:27:54] <SirFinkus> that you plugged into the laptop and the printer, and it'd tell the printer what to do
[02:28:13] <SirFinkus> I call this theoretical device a "cord"
[02:28:29] <SirFinkus> maybe you could even use those ports on the laptop we use to charge our smartphones
[02:28:32] <SpallsHurgenson> it can't be done, I tell you! It just can't!
[02:28:49] <SirFinkus> so wait
[02:28:54] <SpallsHurgenson> electrical waves traveling through MATTER? It's insanity!
[02:28:55] <SirFinkus> if the company goes out of business
[02:29:01] <SirFinkus> you could still use the printer
[02:29:08] <SpallsHurgenson> everyone knows that the waves must pass through the phlogiston!
[02:29:20] <SirFinkus> wait wait wait
[02:29:28] <SirFinkus> so we have this "wifi" thing
[02:29:30] <SirFinkus> what if
[02:29:37] <SirFinkus> and, I know this is insane
[02:29:37] <SpallsHurgenson> perhaps if you used some sort of "straw"
[02:29:38] <SirFinkus> what if
[02:30:00] <SirFinkus> you were to put the thing in the laptop that made the wifi work into the printer
[02:30:12] <SirFinkus> and use that to communicate with the laptop somehow
[02:30:26] <SirFinkus> where the laptop would send instructions to the printer
[02:30:31] <SirFinkus> all highly theoretical of course
[02:30:47] <SpallsHurgenson> you fool! unless you have some sort of hyper-harmonizing reticulators in your so-called "lap-top" it will never work! That's why it needs to go the cloud!
[02:31:10] <SirFinkus> I've heard stories that the ancients were able to do such things
[02:31:15] <SirFinkus> or similar things
[02:31:20] <SirFinkus> with devices called "printers"
[02:31:33] <SirFinkus> surely they are myths
[02:32:21] <SpallsHurgenson> fairy stories! Without the input of the great Fac'ebo'ok and his servant spirits G'oogle and Mycros'ft, no data will flow!
[02:32:39] <SirFinkus> the processing power to put a 2d vector image on a piece of paper with a machine that doesn't take up an entire room, the very idea is absurd

[02:35:12] <takyon> if a neuromorphic chip could be made with the same processes that allow 3D NAND, things could get interesting very fast
[02:35:58] <SirFinkus> they might even be able to create devices powerful enough to run these mythical "inkjet printers"

[03:11:54] <Ethanol-fueled> One time I had a plebe girl come over and the #Soylent IRC windows was open.
[03:12:13] <Ethanol-fueled> She was like, "Oh my god, you're still hanging out in chat rooms?!"
[03:12:53] <SirFinkus> lol
[03:13:31] <Ethanol-fueled> Heheheh
[03:13:34] <SirFinkus> the fuck is wrong with chat rooms anyway?
[03:14:00] <SpallsHurgenson> have you met any of the freaks that frequent those places?
[03:14:07] <SirFinkus> unless you were also in #furry or something
[03:14:12] <Ethanol-fueled> nope.
[03:14:33] <Ethanol-fueled> yahoo voice chat was awesome but only because it was easy to voice-troll people.
[03:15:01] * Ethanol-fueled wishes he could meet a furry chick
[03:15:08] <SirFinkus> I cut my teeth on source games
[03:15:11] <SirFinkus> HLSS
[03:15:15] <SirFinkus> amazing
[03:16:33] <SpallsHurgenson> speaking of furry... where's kitty?
[03:16:44] <SirFinkus> kitty?
[03:16:55] <SirFinkus> wrong channel?
[03:18:37] <Deucalion> I had tandoori kitty tonight - was tasty, would eat here again.
[03:19:55] <Ethanol-fueled> No places around here can make decent tandoori anything.
[03:20:07] <SirFinkus> indian food is delicious
[03:20:20] <Ethanol-fueled> Yup. It is.
[03:20:43] <Ethanol-fueled> If you like that you'd probably like Eithiopian, as long as you know exactly what kind of meat you're getting.
[03:21:15] <SirFinkus> I've heard Ethiopian is really bland
[03:21:25] <SirFinkus> don't have any in my town anyway
[03:21:37] <SirFinkus> all Thai here
[03:21:49] <SirFinkus> which is also delicious
[03:23:05] <takyon> ethiopian ain't bad
[03:23:10] <takyon> what little i've had of it
[03:23:37] <SirFinkus> only had the opportunity to try it once, but my cunt grandmother vetoed it
[03:23:46] <takyon> w0w
[03:24:02] <SirFinkus> I know right?
[03:24:11] <SirFinkus> like, 10 other people were excited for it
[03:24:17] <SirFinkus> ended up going to azteca
[03:25:18] <Ethanol-fueled> Asians make the best fried chicken in San Diego.
[03:25:45] <SirFinkus> I mean, it's not like I've eating mediocre Mexican restaurant chain food a million times before
[03:25:50] <SirFinkus> *eaten
[03:26:03] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, is that like an El Torito or something?
[03:26:07] <Ethanol-fueled> (Azteca)
[03:26:32] <SirFinkus> idk, it's a casual dining mexican restaurant chain
[03:26:39] <SirFinkus> I'm sure you've been to similar places
[03:26:43] <SirFinkus> they're all the same
[03:26:51] <SirFinkus> like Mazatlan and stuff
[03:27:12] <takyon> that standard "mexican restauarant" menu
[03:27:22] <SirFinkus> you might have better stuff in San Diego
[03:27:22] <takyon> just get the fajitas
[03:27:37] <SirFinkus> it's a shame, because real mexican food is delicious
[03:27:55] <Ethanol-fueled> All the good stuff is supposed to be in Tijuana.
[03:28:16] <Ethanol-fueled> There's a Baja-Meditteranian fad going on right now, that's what all the snob chefs are doing around here.
[03:28:19] <SirFinkus> we have street tacos up here in washington, which I like
[03:29:01] <SirFinkus> beans and cheese are pretty good, but I can make those at home with 0 effort
[03:29:15] <SirFinkus> why would I go to a restaurant to eat that?
[03:29:30] <Ethanol-fueled> Because you're not a lazy fuck like I am.
[03:29:42] * SpallsHurgenson for some reason is hungry all of a sudden
[03:29:44] * Ethanol-fueled got pizza tonight
[03:29:44] <SirFinkus> it's 3 steps
[03:29:50] <SirFinkus> open can of beans
[03:29:54] <SirFinkus> put in pot on stove
[03:29:57] <SirFinkus> add cheese
[03:30:12] <Ethanol-fueled> Finkus, and a fresh minced white onion makes all the difference.
[03:30:26] <SirFinkus> they don't do that at the places up here
[03:30:30] <SirFinkus> that's not bland enough
[03:30:39] <Ethanol-fueled> that's what makes homemade canned beans from shit-tier to edible-tier
[03:30:54] <SirFinkus> too aggressive for the geriatrics that eat at azteca
[03:30:58] <Ethanol-fueled> Beans are cheap as fuck, filling, and healthy.
[03:31:02] <SirFinkus> gives them heartburn
[03:31:27] <Ethanol-fueled> haha Fink, fuck that. I hate how 99% of Mexican places don't have hot salsa.
[03:31:46] <SirFinkus> it's not even a spice thing
[03:32:00] <takyon> just put a lot of cilantro in it
[03:32:02] <SirFinkus> they just all use the same shitty ingredients
[03:32:20] <Ethanol-fueled> The same big Sysco truck?
[03:32:27] <SirFinkus> basically everything is taco bell tier except the meet, which is like 1 grade higher
[03:32:43] <SirFinkus> recognizable as meat
[03:34:11] <SirFinkus> I mean, it tastes ok, but it's the least common denominator of food, bland and inoffensive
[03:34:17] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeccch
[03:34:48] <SirFinkus> food is like art in general, if some people don't absolutely hate it, it probably doesn't have some merit
[03:35:07] <SirFinkus> I don't mean that as a hipster thing even, just I appreciate risk taking
[03:36:41] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, would you eat milt sushi?
[03:36:52] <Ethanol-fueled> milt - fish semen
[03:37:10] <SirFinkus> if it's an actual thing, I'd try it, why not?
[03:37:34] <Ethanol-fueled> haha, fuck that.
[03:38:08] <SirFinkus> idk how it'd actually work, would it be like a gelatin thing?
[03:38:32] <Ethanol-fueled> apparantly it comes in sacks and has a texture like porn brains.

[03:38:53] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahaha
[03:39:21] <Ethanol-fueled> I discussed doing a guerella semen cooking attack with a woman who hated her ex.
[03:39:40] <SirFinkus> I need to get that book and invite my friends over to dinner
[03:39:44] <SirFinkus> just have it on the counter
[03:40:07] <Ethanol-fueled> Jesus, you gotta be like Saddam Hussein and have a taster vet all your food for you nowadays.
[03:40:30] <Ethanol-fueled> You could just have it on the counter, and call it an emulsion of egg whites and cream or something.
[03:40:38] <SirFinkus> statistically, we've all probably accidentally eaten semen at some point in our lives
[03:41:26] <SirFinkus> if you think about the thousands of people who have had contact with your food over a lifetime, it's bound to have happened at some point
[03:42:28] <SirFinkus> surprised nobody grabbed that
[03:43:35] <Ethanol-fueled> !grab SirFinkus
[03:43:35] <Bender> Added quote 562
[03:45:49] <SirFinkus> but think how often human feces makes it into our food supply
[03:46:00] <SirFinkus> the only reason we realize that is because people get sick
[03:46:45] <Ethanol-fueled> That's nothing though. That's like unnoticeable speck territory. I'd be much more grossed out by a piece of ligament or bone in my carne asada
[03:47:55] <SirFinkus> yeah, nothing worse than biting down on something hard in the meat
[03:48:54] <SirFinkus> all those carne asada steaks you get at the cheap places are probably several cuts meat glued together

[04:35:32] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, it's not really a QR code reader, I half-lied for clarity of explanation.
[04:36:17] <Ethanol-fueled> The idea is the same. Though instead of how a QR works it uses a solid line on the "left and bottom"
[04:37:48] <Ethanol-fueled> The language is Java
[04:38:38] <Ethanol-fueled> so there's some automagic, but not as much as Javascript. On top of all that we're not allowed to use concepts more advanced than we've "officially" learned in class up to that point.
[04:39:11] <takyon> I'm writing the problem in javascript in this chat box right now
[04:41:17] <takyon> is solid line 0 or 1
[04:41:23] <Ethanol-fueled> 1.
[04:41:29] <Ethanol-fueled> or in java, "true"
[04:43:25] <Ethanol-fueled> because in Java confusing boolean values with c-style integer values is verboten.
[04:43:58] <takyon> I've used Java, but I've used way more javascript following that
[04:44:37] <takyon> everything boils down to pseudocode at some point anyway
[04:44:43] <Ethanol-fueled> Yup.
[04:46:37] <Ethanol-fueled> My approach was to get the length of the 1-D array, determine the factors, take every value in the array index += factor. If they're all true, then you have the column and can get the row value from length/column
[04:46:53] <Ethanol-fueled> Or something like that. The booze is kicking in, and with a vengeance.
[04:47:08] <takyon> i'm almost done
[04:49:04] <Ethanol-fueled> If you do it by row you're fucked, but if you do it by column then you can use the first all-true instance as your first column.

[23:22:31] <Bytram> that was the one that seemed to 'break' it before.
[23:22:54] <chromas> it does several regex matches and then dies
[23:23:20] <chromas> it also thinks there's a lot of redirects. hope that's where the bug is
[23:23:50] <Bytram> yup; I got lots of redirects, too.
[23:24:08] <crutchy> Bytram, is it one of those ones that requires cookies mebe?
[23:24:14] <Bytram> I think my program should compare current link to all prior versions it generated to watch for cycles
[23:24:21] <Bytram> no idea
[23:24:25] <chromas> it should just give up after 5 or so. it's giving up on life instead of just the link though :)

[23:25:37] <crutchy> scary!
[23:25:47] <chromas> it worked in the simpsons
[23:25:53] <Bytram> not as bad as it sounds...
[23:26:24] <Bytram> just means the pilot is not sitting in the plane -- much like how drone operators fly their drones
[23:26:40] <crutchy> http://www.heraldsun.com.au
[23:27:00] <Bytram> but, if a drone crashes it's one thing; a plane full of people? well there's a bunch more incentive to get it to land safely when the pilot is sitting in it!
[23:27:01] <crutchy> Bytram, the pilot being in the plane is what saves a lot of planes from crashing
[23:27:09] <Bytram> agreed.
[23:27:18] <crutchy> take away the pilot's fear of death and a lot more people would die
[23:27:43] <Bytram> yeah, I typed basically the same thing and it appeared just before your reply
[23:28:16] <crutchy> unless you can give the ground operators adrenaline shots or summin :p
[23:28:47] <crutchy> i think having smarter computers would be good, as an assistant
[23:29:05] <crutchy> the problem that occurred on the qantas a380 should never happen though
[23:29:24] <crutchy> the computer basically prevented the pilots from being able to operate the plane normally
[23:34:18] <crutchy> i'm a bit old school, but i would prefer the primary flight instrumentation to be vacuum and pressure driven (or even basic electric instruments - self-contained electric attitude indicators for example), with computerized assistance (auto-pilot, problem-solving, etc) being secondary with ability to physically disconnect from flight controls
[23:34:52] <crutchy> its probably also a training and culture thing... pilots are growing up with computerized systems and they prefer them
[23:34:59] <crutchy> they need more training without computers
