[00:02:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> wonder how many libs i took for granted in p5 i'm going to have to write from scratch in p6
[00:02:24] <crutchy> lmao check this out... http://www.usatoday.com
[00:02:24] <systemd> ^ 03Thousands stuck in 50-lane traffic jam in Beijing
[00:02:34] <crutchy> chinese just love doing things big
[00:02:39] <crutchy> even traffic jams
[00:03:02] <Yog-Yogguth> is that the 7km long one? Pretty amazing
[00:03:33] <crutchy> i'm off to work for 8 hours honey... i'll see you in 2 weeks *mwah*
[00:03:51] <crutchy> fuck that
[00:05:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, i get annoyed that other people use my roads at all
[00:05:43] <crutchy> i think the worse we have in melbourne are maybe 7 or 8 lanes each way or summin
[00:06:24] <crutchy> usually only for a few km's around the intersection of multiple freeways
[00:06:31] <Deucalion> I think 4 each way is the max here... around London mostly.
[00:06:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> we have two each way both where i lived in OK and where I live in TN
[00:06:51] * crutchy hates driving in melbourne
[00:07:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> three is about tops around most of the cities i've been to cept chicago and nyc
[00:07:25] <chromas> according to the tfa, it's not the 50 lanes, but the 20-lane checkpoint that's the issue
[00:08:25] <Deucalion> China is huge... why are they congregating so densely that they need 50 or even 20 lane roads? :/
[00:08:31] <Deucalion> I must visit one day
[00:09:05] <chromas> they need to stack the lanes vertically
[00:09:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> take a van, some kids, and a dog. tv has taught me that is the quickest way to solve a mystery.
[00:09:42] <Deucalion> Pesky kids!
[00:10:10] <Deucalion> It's always the caretaker... mystery solved.
[00:10:38] <crutchy> hmm. from google maps it looks like maybe 6 lanes each way is generally the most
[00:10:47] <crutchy> maybe when i'm driving it just seems like more
[00:10:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean look at all them police procedurals at 1h each (sometime even taking multiple episodes) and scooby and co always solved their shat in half an hour minus commercials.
[00:11:47] <crutchy> if the chinese just used container trucks they could reduce cars by a lot *budum tish*
[00:12:17] <chromas> Law & Order: Social Justice Unit

[00:28:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar, plowking from boron
[00:28:47] <Deucalion> You infecting our servers with your Plowthing?
[00:29:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> yurp, local to me install of perl6
[00:29:26] <crutchy> lol @ Plowthing

[00:30:28] <crutchy> ~minion quit Plowthing
[00:30:30] -!- Plowthing has quit [Client Quit]
[00:30:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya
[00:31:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> which is why it's running in my home dir instead of even being considered for system install
[00:31:10] <Deucalion> wow - some of the shit I read does seep into my spongiform noggin
[00:31:38] <crutchy> Deucalion, maybe you better shut yer peepers
[00:31:49] <crutchy> guv
[00:32:22] <Deucalion> my mincers you mean?
[00:33:05] <crutchy> hmm. don't know a lot of that pommy dialect. most of my british accent experience has been from a single particular guy ritchie film
[00:33:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> matter o fact, i think i might make an unpriv'd account to run it from local to boron
[00:34:12] <crutchy> has PlowKing got a !start-bender command?
[00:34:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, definitely better to do that
[00:34:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> no
[00:34:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> bender's in the doghouse anyway right now
[00:34:32] <Deucalion> mincers... mince pies.... eyes. Rhyming slang. Plates .... Plates O Meat..... feet. Not my dialect.
[00:34:59] <crutchy> oh you mean like going to visit a man about a dog while talking on the dog n bone
[00:35:10] <Deucalion> TheMightyBuzzard, yeh.. might be best in it's own Plow acount.
[00:35:14] <Deucalion> its
[00:35:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup yup
[00:35:34] * crutchy slaps Deucalion with an apostrophe
[00:35:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> just gonna nuke it for now. will monkey with that when i'm not bout to doctor who it
[00:36:03] <Deucalion> shut it... I have apostrophe atrophy or something..... never been diagnosed, but I know it is there
[00:36:07] -!- PlowKing has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:36:12] <crutchy> maybe use one of those newfangled container thingys
[00:36:32] <crutchy> not that i know anything about them rly. apparently they kinda like chroot
[00:36:35] <crutchy> or some shit
[00:36:46] <crutchy> or just use chroot
[00:36:56] <Deucalion> Or one of them old linux container things that have been around for ages. Or work up an apparmor profile as we are running Ubuntu servers.

[00:38:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, apparmor ain't a bad idea. you can tell cause it don't have a superfluous u
[00:38:42] <crutchy> gotta love bathurst weekend
[00:38:58] <Deucalion> LXC, BSD jails, chroot.... been around for ages. Not sure what all the hype is with things like Docker. I'm guessing they made it easier to do some how. ~shrug~
[00:39:22] <crutchy> one thing about that crash.... shows how little the cars resemble road cars on the inside
[00:39:33] <crutchy> they *look* like road cars only on the outside
[00:40:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> okey doke. afk watchin the doctor.
[00:40:44] <Deucalion> I quite like apparmor.... set a profile then run it in complain mode for a while and tail the log to catch the odd things you missed. Can even automate the update of the profile based on the log output. Shame it is just an Ubuntu thing really. That said Apparmoring something like Firefox is somewhat of a patience testing adventure.

[00:50:30] <Ethanol-fueled> Hello fellas.
[00:51:49] <Yog-Yogguth> hi ther
[00:52:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Doing groupwork for school cuz university are liberal scum.
[00:52:32] <Ethanol-fueled> had to force a groupmate out.
[00:52:54] <Yog-Yogguth> someone wondered what you were studying and I couldn't remember for sure
[00:53:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Computer Science (Lite)
[00:53:16] <Yog-Yogguth> ah ok I got that sort of right then
[00:53:29] <Yog-Yogguth> I said that or electrical engineering or something like that
[00:53:49] <Ethanol-fueled> aw hell no. I'd rather be poor than be stuck in school that long.
[00:53:55] <Yog-Yogguth> :D
[00:54:07] <Yog-Yogguth> by lite you mean bachelor?
[00:54:19] <Yog-Yogguth> btw gtg brb
[00:54:38] <Ethanol-fueled> Not only bachelor but the program I'm in doesn't require linear algebra.
[00:54:59] <Ethanol-fueled> still do all the other core shit though.
[00:56:36] <Deucalion> hi EF - how goes the studying?
[00:56:55] <Ethanol-fueled> deucalion, it's pretty annoying. How goes it with you?
[00:57:14] <Deucalion> same old mundane shite ~shrug~
[00:57:25] <Ethanol-fueled> I forced out a nonperforming groupmate.
[00:57:42] <Ethanol-fueled> Actually, I asked her to remove herself so she could save face.
[00:58:26] <Deucalion> Sounds a little brutal. <ay have been more diplomatic to work out where her strengths lie and then utilise them.
[00:58:44] <Ethanol-fueled> Deucalion, I had her in three previous groups. She's skatin' and skatin' hard.
[00:59:25] <Ethanol-fueled> that's fine when the assignments are small and easy enough, but they're gettin' bigger and harder.
[00:59:28] <Deucalion> You're just mad because she laughed at your need for the extender :P
[01:00:08] <Ethanol-fueled> I told her to pitch in, the only time she would have had to have pitched in this entire semester, or ask to be removed from the group. She chose the latter.
[01:00:23] <SirFinkus> been there
[01:00:58] <Ethanol-fueled> Had to light a fire under her ass because I'm sure the next class will also involve groupwork, so she had to be put on notice.
[01:01:02] * SirFinkus remembers a semester long programming project in high school with a partner that didn't contributes a single loc
[01:01:09] <crutchy> *her* ass?
[01:01:23] <crutchy> pic or it didn't happen yo :p
[01:01:33] <Ethanol-fueled> crutchy, she's a good-looking woman...but one of those flakey "homeopathic" new-agey types.
[01:01:37] <Deucalion> Won't go far with that attitude of riding on everyone else's efforts. Get found out in the end and it will be a train wreck for her.
[01:01:39] <crutchy> ew
[01:01:44] <crutchy> btw
[01:01:49] <crutchy> aye focker!
[01:01:50] <crutchy> :D
[01:02:06] <SirFinkus> idk Deucalion, I've seen some shit
[01:02:23] <SirFinkus> depends on how good she is at riding on efforts
[01:02:37] <Ethanol-fueled> Exactly, Deucalion...if she were smart she would have at least offered to write documentation or at least do fucking something, anything.
[01:02:54] <Deucalion> SirFinkus, likewise. I've seen too much in big corps. So much noise, no action.
[01:03:09] <Ethanol-fueled> The chauveniest pig in me guesses that she was one of those gurls who tossed back her hair, batted her eyelashes, and then copied all her homework.
[01:03:21] <SirFinkus> if she graduates, she has the same degree as you do Ethanol-fueled
[01:03:31] <Deucalion> Sadly that can be a strategy for success EF
[01:03:41] <Ethanol-fueled> SirFinkus, I have real-world experience, contacts, and even awards in the high-tech industry.
[01:04:23] <Deucalion> We all hate the game, but we still have to play it.
[01:04:40] <Ethanol-fueled> Yup, that's right.
[01:05:30] <Deucalion> I spent to long fighting the game before I saw through it. Not again :D
[01:05:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Even if my degree is recognized as a shit degree, I can get around that. I doubt she will be able to do the same. Especially in a technical interview.
[01:05:58] <Ethanol-fueled> Smart strategy, Deucalion. Conflict gets old.
[01:06:46] <Deucalion> I don't do conflict at all. It's a waste of energy.
[01:06:57] <Ethanol-fueled> How you been, big-bad Crutch-Dawg?
[01:08:26] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Smoking, Heavy Alcohol Use Are Associated With Epigenetic Signs of Aging - http://sylnt.us - party-on-wayne-party-on-garth
[01:08:49] <Deucalion> I'm fucked then ^
[01:09:09] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm not fucked just yet.
[01:09:25] <Deucalion> You're still young :P
[01:09:33] <Deucalion> Plenty of time
[01:09:52] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, plus I don't smoke cigs or use hard drugs.
[01:10:18] <takyon> if you have to worry about epigenetics you already have an expiration date and can consider yourself a walking corpse
[01:10:36] <Deucalion> Never done hard drugs either. The addiction potential scares the shit out of me.
[01:10:42] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, and a lot of people just got the short-end of the genetic shit-stick.
[01:11:23] <Ethanol-fueled> Deucalion, hard drugs are terrifying. Even MDMA. Seen way too many people become emotionless husks after constant use.
[01:11:24] <SirFinkus> we all have expiration dates
[01:11:40] <takyon> not so sure about MDMA
[01:11:47] <Ethanol-fueled> I've seen it, takyon.
[01:11:48] <SirFinkus> I'd consider MDMA, but half that shit isn't MDMA
[01:12:03] <takyon> "nobody" knows what they are taking when they take MDMA
[01:12:10] <SirFinkus> well, there are tests
[01:12:15] <takyon> hence the quotes
[01:12:16] <Deucalion> That is the problem... know idea what the hell you are ingesting with that kind of party drug.
[01:12:34] <SirFinkus> you can be reasonably sure really
[01:12:43] <Deucalion> how?
[01:12:44] <SirFinkus> but that whole scene doesn't appeal to me
[01:13:23] <SirFinkus> http://www.amazon.com
[01:13:24] <systemd> ^ 03Amazon.com: Bunk Police Drug Test Kit - General (Marquis) Reagent: Industrial Scientific
[01:13:37] <SirFinkus> chemistry!
[01:13:57] <Ethanol-fueled> watchlist!
[01:14:08] <Deucalion> Yeh me neither... the whole gurning and jumping around to repetitive bass tunes thing... nah. Just give me a beer :)
[01:14:09] * Ethanol-fueled orders Turner Diaries from Amazon
[01:14:27] <takyon> Amazon.com recommendations, the ultimate watchlist
[01:14:47] <Yog-Yogguth> watchlist.com
[01:14:51] <SirFinkus> "tunes" is a generous term
[01:15:00] <Deucalion> :D
[01:15:51] <Deucalion> umm-tish umm-tish umm-tish at 120 - 150bpm how can it be bad? :P
[01:16:18] <Ethanol-fueled> Some techno is listenable.
[01:16:23] <SirFinkus> probably awesome on mdma, but a lot of things are probably awesome on mdma
[01:16:42] <Ethanol-fueled> Not that "House" shit though. (Is "house" music even still a thing?)
[01:16:51] <Ethanol-fueled> sex isn't, SirFink.
[01:17:07] <Ethanol-fueled> at least not as fun as watcching colored lights and listening to music.
[01:18:33] <SirFinkus> I'll keep that in mind, but the whole MDMA culture is so repulsive to me I've written of the drug somewhat
[01:19:23] <SirFinkus> I'll jack off to pictures of slutty rave chicks though
[01:19:30] <SirFinkus> not that repulsed
[01:19:40] <Ethanol-fueled> It is repulsive in every possible way, but only because they're trying to mazimize the stimulation they get from the drugs. And doing so requires assaults on all your senses.
[01:20:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Plus yeah, hot chicks, or dudes, or whatever you're into.
[01:21:47] <SirFinkus> plenty of hot chicks you don't need to charm with glowsticks out there
[01:22:15] <Deucalion> What's up EF? You've not resorted to all CAPS yet.... this is Saturday night, I'm worried about you :P
[01:23:07] <Ethanol-fueled> Generally embracing more healthy habits, plus went to a punk show Thursday and went in the pit.
[01:24:06] <Deucalion> That'll knock the aggression out of you :D Did that at metal gigs 20 something years ago. Much fun being boisterous :D
[01:24:20] <SirFinkus> anyone tried that new Aurous shit?
[01:24:27] Yog-Yogguth is now known as Alco-fueled
[01:24:31] <Alco-fueled> XD
[01:25:10] <Alco-fueled> what's that?
[01:25:16] <Deucalion> SirFinkus, Aurous music thing? (google tells me)
[01:25:30] <SirFinkus> yeah, it's supposed to be like popcorn time for music
[01:26:06] <Deucalion> not tried it.
[01:26:22] * Deucalion gets Alco-fueled a beer
[01:26:38] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm drinking, slowly but surely.
[01:26:46] <SirFinkus> I was going to try it, but it requires java, so fuck that
[01:26:47] * Alco-fueled already had one but now has two
[01:27:02] <Alco-fueled> I avoid Java too
[01:27:09] * SirFinkus just had a habanero scuplin
[01:27:52] <Ethanol-fueled> gross, Finkus.
[01:28:10] <SirFinkus> yeah, I kind of regret buying it
[01:28:16] <Deucalion> An IPA with chillis?
[01:28:18] <SirFinkus> wouldn't call it gross though
[01:28:23] <Alco-fueled> I used to be a big Java fan-boy around 96 or so
[01:28:23] <SirFinkus> just not worht it
[01:28:37] <Ethanol-fueled> alco, nothing wrong with Java.
[01:29:13] <Ethanol-fueled> if you want to complain about easy programming languages giving professional access to idiots, there's Python. Bahaha!
[01:29:20] <Alco-fueled> technically you're correct but in practice
[01:29:36] <Alco-fueled> haha I love Python, so easy even I can do something without effort
[01:29:52] <Alco-fueled> anyone remember Jini?
[01:30:47] <Ethanol-fueled> Nope.
[01:30:53] <Ethanol-fueled> anyone remember SUN?
[01:30:56] <Ethanol-fueled> (Bahah.)
[01:30:59] <Alco-fueled> :)
[01:32:09] <Alco-fueled> I wonder what happened to the local Sun-shop
[01:32:30] <Alco-fueled> and similar for other places
[01:34:52] <SirFinkus> burned down
[01:34:57] <Alco-fueled> XD
[01:35:29] <Deucalion> I like the SUN Sparcstations when I was at Uni... had some nice hi res screens, early X desktop and glass mouse mats with optical mice many years before they became mainstream. Very nice machines. Fuck knows what they cost at the time, but they were very nice to use in comparison to the x86 Win box labs at the time.
[01:35:51] <Alco-fueled> answer: lots
[01:36:11] <Ethanol-fueled> I felt that way about the SGI boxes, although that was probably much later than your experience.
[01:36:36] <Ethanol-fueled> They seemed simpler but never crashed, WinShit crashed every 5 seconds.
[01:37:01] <Alco-fueled> that's how Sun could afford fold-out techporn^Wserver ads
[01:37:35] <Ethanol-fueled> And even in the Win98 days it would BSOD for no reason at all.
[01:38:10] <Deucalion> Early 90s was Uni time for me. We live in different times now. Tech has become commoditised in the interim time. Soooo much change in just ~25 years.
[01:38:22] <Alco-fueled> yes
[01:40:20] <Ethanol-fueled> Man, it must have been awesome going to university back then.
[01:40:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Before everything went full-batshit crazy.
[01:40:46] <Deucalion> ~shrug~ progress is good. Could do without the marketing BS of course, redefining terms and selling old concepts as new again... but I guess that is the same in every sector, just in tech the cycles come faster.
[01:41:01] <Ethanol-fueled> and extreme proto-leftist politics is shoved into even technology classes.
[01:41:30] <Ethanol-fueled> er...neo-leftist politics. proto-leftism is somewhat tolerable.
[01:42:12] <Ethanol-fueled> ("If some people are slow to grasp technology, it is due to straight White male oppression."
[01:42:22] <Alco-fueled> not so sure there's been much change, a lull of sort between the marxism and now
[01:43:16] <chromas> Ethanol-fueled: does your school have a Safe Space?
[01:43:34] <Ethanol-fueled> lemme check...
[01:44:00] <Ethanol-fueled> HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
[01:44:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Oh fuck, it does!
[01:44:05] <Deucalion> Ethanol-fueled, in hindsight is was the blue hour for connectivity. The Web was just forming up and was all new... the connect to anyone anywhere anytime thing was a new concept. Now that is just taken for granted, but it was nice to see it dawn and rise. Then the advertisers and corps came and it became the rancid shithole we have today.
[01:44:41] <Ethanol-fueled> Oh sweet Jesus, chromas, and what a humorous reading it was.
[01:45:09] <chromas> :D
[01:45:28] <chromas> scary_ideas--
[01:45:28] <Bender> karma - scary_ideas: -1
[01:45:39] <Ethanol-fueled> I read acronyms that were like...no joke...9 letters long.
[01:46:09] <chromas> sounds like you're oppressing the alphabet
[01:46:13] <Ethanol-fueled> Deucalion, the barrier to entry was much higher back then.
[01:46:37] <Ethanol-fueled> that's not necessarily a bad thing, though.
[01:49:18] <Ethanol-fueled> chromas, in the last class, we had a lot of readings written by ****** academics from the Ivy League, ranting on and on about "Straight White Male Privilige", themselves having never set foot in a real ghetto.
[01:50:23] <Deucalion> Ethanol-fueled, sure. I only had internet access on Uni campus during my first year and that was all via UNIX mainframe, 2nd year I burnt a shitload of cash buying my own PC and getting a dial up connection. But it was naive fun as it was the dawn of ubiquitous connectivity.... log onto ICQ and talk to someone 10000s of miles away... that was new! And fast forward... we're still here on a Saturday night using IRC... just like I did all those
[01:50:23] <Deucalion> years ago.... some things were built to last.
[01:54:10] <takyon> it's easy to start an insular internet community
[01:54:15] <takyon> just look at soylentnews
[01:55:29] <crutchy> Deucalion, wow dude are you allowed to write longer lines than everyone else?
[01:55:39] <Deucalion> It's been quite a trip watching how the expansion of connectivity and communication has effectively shrunk the world.
[01:55:41] <crutchy> hmm or maybe that's the normmal lengths
[01:55:48] <Deucalion> crutchy, I don't think so
[01:56:09] <takyon> it's the cusp
[01:56:10] <Deucalion> I just type a lot and my client seems to split it to 2 posts

[03:36:04] <crutchy> deregulation is a good thing (as long as there is no corporate welfare)
[03:36:22] <crutchy> and war is shit
[03:36:25] <Deucalion> wut now?

[03:36:46] <crutchy> that nick linked
[03:37:26] <Deucalion> k
[03:37:58] <Alco-fueled> hi crutchy, was it you that wondered about Ethanol's studies?
[03:38:12] <crutchy> nah i already knew
[03:38:37] <Alco-fueled> ah ok
[03:38:54] <crutchy> wasnt here when it was asked though
[03:39:35] <Deucalion> Yeh - the raging UK - sold all the harrier spares to the US then bought into carriers with no planes to put on them. Genius. All the while the plebs are beaten with sticks to bring the deficit down. Thanks.
[03:39:54] <Alco-fueled> it was just someone wondering what he studied and it was Comp. Sci (Lite version according to him)
[03:40:34] <crutchy> carriers are already obsolete
[03:40:47] <crutchy> in a big war they will be the first to be sunk
[03:41:17] <crutchy> missiles rule the battlefield
[03:41:49] <Deucalion> Nuke subs though... they can pop up anywhere and glass an area when you least expect it. teehee :D
[03:42:11] <crutchy> true. submarine launched missiles are scary
[03:43:11] <crutchy> i think thats why russia is still so powerful. even without carriers. the ol ruskies know carriers are useless
[03:43:16] <Deucalion> Nukes on sub launched missiles are the scariest.... that is so "don't tread on me"......
[03:43:24] <Alco-fueled> :D
[03:43:40] <Alco-fueled> add some sharks on that!
[03:44:05] * crutchy wouldn't be surprised if china was doing subs. even though i know they are doing some carriers too
[03:44:13] <crutchy> the carrier thing is probably just a front
[03:44:26] <crutchy> for political showmanship
[03:44:56] <Alco-fueled> it's only the US that has superbig carriers, everyone else has smallish ones
[03:45:43] <Deucalion> I prefer detente to all out war.
[03:45:47] <crutchy> true. the US ones are kinda just political tools too. they work for bullying small countries, but in an all out war they are just massive targets
[03:45:56] <Alco-fueled> yup
[03:46:33] <crutchy> even australia gave up on carriers
[03:48:34] <crutchy> i think we only ever had a couple of small ones anyway
[03:48:42] <crutchy> but now its just helichoppers
[03:49:25] <Deucalion> They never get near to war zones and are escorted by a ridiculous amount of fir power in the attending fleet. US does military power to the max. Whether it is sensible is an exercise for the reader, but the US do military overload very well.... not that it works so well in the middle east but credit where credit is due... for shear firepower it's all AWE and TERROR when the US stem in :D Much like the late C19th
[03:49:50] <Alco-fueled> Australia is filled with living weapons anyway :P
[03:49:51] <Deucalion> steam*
[03:51:03] <Alco-fueled> even bids and plants :3
[03:51:06] <crutchy> Deucalion, russia has always had bigger and better subs
[03:51:34] <crutchy> and even the aussie subs have been known to get around the US fleets in exercises
[03:53:45] <Deucalion> crutchy, the point is to deter war - the more countries that have redonkulous weapons the more it forces diplomacy and co-operation. The only worry is some mad bastard getting their hands on the GO button. Oh crap - and now we are right back into cold war BS. I should sleep.
[03:54:13] <crutchy> the only deterrent is nukes. if russia and china didn't have nukes the US would have bullied them too
[03:54:22] <crutchy> Deucalion, haha yeah prolly
