[00:11:53] <paulej72> poop
[00:12:47] <paulej72> I am playing a new game. It is call sort the emails
[00:13:22] <paulej72> see how low you can get your inbox items without blowing off work
[00:13:37] <cmn32480> 38 is my record paulej72
[00:14:16] <paulej72> I am currently at 967 down from over 2k
[00:16:38] <cmn32480> keep going my young padawan
[00:17:04] <cmn32480> while sorting, I find that unsubscribing from mailing lists helps
[00:17:17] <cmn32480> and you have my greatest sympathy
[00:17:58] -!- idetuxs [idetuxs!~idetuxs@181.164.xqt.tg] has joined #Soylent
[00:18:20] <paulej72> I have a tendency to let small jobs stew too long in my inbox. In the last couple of days I been sorting emails and doing all of thoes small jobs
[00:18:53] <paulej72> I am working on Aug emails now
[00:20:10] <idetuxs> Hi everyone!
[00:20:13] <idetuxs> o/
[00:20:24] <arti> paule, do you need to gamify things?
[00:20:53] <arti> my unopened email is pretty epic, there's so much stuff that gets blasted out
[00:21:08] <arti> "attend AWS expo" fek that
[00:22:20] <paulej72> most of the shit gets caught by my junk filters. I get avout 400 work related emails a month. About 1/2 I need to actually do something about
[00:23:51] <paulej72> I do not do phone at work. My phone is actually in my office, but I work mostly in a differnt lab that I have temoporarily taken over
[00:24:22] <cmn32480> 400/month?
[00:24:28] <cmn32480> you lucky bastard!
[00:24:43] <cmn32480> I average about 100/day
[00:25:06] <takyon> schwoooop
[00:25:09] * arti glanced and assumed it was $$$ day
[00:26:23] <paulej72> Well I do get more, but they are automagically dumped to folders I do not need to look at normally
[00:26:59] <takyon> http://www.futurity.org
[00:27:00] <cloudshark> ^ 03Atomic bomb fallout in turtle shells reveals their age - Futurity
[00:27:42] <paulej72> 850 and falling
[00:28:31] <cmn32480> I get about 100, usually about 50/day need attention
[00:28:49] <cmn32480> the rest are systems related stuff that pertains to our service organization call system
[00:31:27] <cmn32480> all these little tasks aren't like password resets that you are doing months later are they?
[00:31:51] <cmn32480> that'd be a total BOFH move, and hilarious, but might be disruptive
[00:32:14] <paulej72> sort of.
[00:32:44] -!- SpallsHurgenson [SpallsHurgenson!~SpallsHur@Soylent/Users/656/SpallsHurgenson] has joined #Soylent
[00:34:26] <SirFinkus> my anthropology class has become less about anthropology to me, and more about discrediting my professor
[00:34:58] <cmn32480> isn't that what college is for?
[00:35:15] <SirFinkus> I don't think that's how people think of it these days
[00:35:25] <SirFinkus> I kind of got her to concede a point
[00:35:31] <paulej72> yes it is
[00:35:33] <SpallsHurgenson> I thought it was for drinking and sex
[00:35:46] <SirFinkus> she said culture is "arbitrary", which I called out as bullshit
[00:35:52] <paulej72> just look at the black lives matter group
[00:35:58] <SpallsHurgenson> come to think of it, that's what I see work as for
[00:36:09] <SirFinkus> she said what she meant was that it was non-determinitistic
[00:36:33] <SirFinkus> but arbitrary and non-deterministic are two different words, with different meaning
[00:37:18] <SirFinkus> it seemed to be an important distinction, because if culture is arbitrary, there's little it can teach us about group of people, which is the stated purpose of the class
[00:37:43] <cmn32480> lol
[00:38:27] <SirFinkus> I do believe every thing is deterministic btw, but that's a belief that one can't really prove
[00:38:52] <SirFinkus> so at least I can debate that since she (anthropologists?) have a different viewpoint
[00:39:18] <cmn32480> ~define deterministic
[00:39:19] <exec> deterministic: unable to find definition
[00:39:28] <SirFinkus> I can really argue with someone who believes the social equivalent of creationism
[00:39:29] <cmn32480> ~define fart
[00:39:30] <exec> [urbandictionary] 03fart: 1. 1-man salute 2. 7.4 on the Rectum scale 3. Acid-rain maker 4. After the thunder comes the rain 5. Air bagel 6. Airbrush your boxers 7. Anal acoustics 8. Anal ahem 9. Anal audio 10. Anal salute 11....
[00:39:46] <cmn32480> so ~define does still work
[00:40:15] <paulej72> only for urbandictionary prob
[00:40:20] <cmn32480> likely
[00:40:37] <SirFinkus> https://en.wiktionary.org
[00:40:38] <cloudshark> ^ 03Wiki: determinism
[00:40:38] <cmn32480> my guess is that is probably the only place it looks
[00:40:44] <cmn32480> ~g determinism
[00:40:46] <exec> [google] www.informationphilosopher.com/freedom/determinism.html
[00:41:36] <SirFinkus> I tend towards the "computing" definition
[00:41:36] <cmn32480> so how does time travel fit inot that, exactly?
[00:42:01] * SirFinkus shrugs
[00:42:07] <SirFinkus> time travel is full of paradoxes
[00:42:38] <SirFinkus> I don't think any philosophy could really explain them, but I'm not a philosopher.
[00:43:36] <SirFinkus> I believe the majority of scientists and a great number of philosophers believe in determinism when it comes to concepts like free will, which has some interesting implications
[00:44:17] <takyon> here's a paradox: you need to invent time travel before you can time travel
[00:44:50] <SirFinkus> that article cmn32480 posted claims that quantum theory means the universe is non-deterministic
[00:45:07] <SirFinkus> but isn't the point of quantum theory to explain why the universe behaves the way it does?
[00:45:08] <paulej72> can I have a pair o doxies
[00:45:15] <SirFinkus> I don't know anything about quantum theory though
[00:45:36] <cmn32480> I know one thing about quantum theory
[00:45:45] <cmn32480> I know it is way over my head
[00:45:56] <SirFinkus> it just seems odd that scientists would hang up a "here be dragons" sign and give up trying to figure it out
[00:47:03] <cmn32480> oooooo dragons!
[00:47:06] <SirFinkus> so I strongly suspect bullshit when it comes to that article, especially given the bullshit halo when quantum physics is cited by non quantum physicists
[00:47:34] <cmn32480> all exec did was post the first google result for the provided search terms
[00:47:51] <SirFinkus> I know, I was just responding to a part in it that I read
[00:48:21] <cmn32480> ~weather
[00:48:22] <exec> 10Baltimore, MD, USA - currently 40°F / 4°C, cloudy, wind NE at 3 mph, humidity 77% - Thursday cloudy (34°F:41°F / 1°C:5°C), Friday cloudy (39°F:44°F / 4°C:7°C), Saturday cloudy (47°F:51°F / 8°C:11°C), Sunday scattered showers (26°F:57°F / -3°C:14°C)
[00:48:29] <SirFinkus> "Since modern quantum physics shows that the universe is indeterministic, with profound effects on microscopic processes at the atomic scale, we will find it valuable to distinguish pre-determinism from the adequate determinism that we have in the real world. " this part
[00:48:35] * SpallsHurgenson is a big believer in space zombies... few questions need answering after space zombies
[00:48:41] <SirFinkus> made me say "o rly?"
[00:51:33] <SirFinkus> apparently determinism in anthropology has been "discredited", but I see that as mainly because it was used to justify oppressing people
[00:51:39] <SirFinkus> and the theories were sloppy
[00:52:49] <SirFinkus> they basically had a "tech tree" that they theorized societies had to follow, which was discredited when they found societies that had skipped steps
[00:52:58] <SirFinkus> it's much more nuanced than that
[00:53:23] <SirFinkus> and just because a theory was used to justify evil things, doesn't mean it isn't a valid theory
[00:53:36] <SirFinkus> we don't toss out genetics because it was used to justify eugenics programs
[00:54:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> done with my minecraft mod, yays!
[00:54:09] <arti> oh snap
[00:54:11] <arti> bukkit?
[00:54:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> forge
[00:54:24] <arti> what does the mod do?
[00:54:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> puts 122 new records in
[00:54:49] <chromas> it runs slash in minecraft
[00:54:54] <arti> ugly
[00:55:14] * SirFinkus imagines the editor department frantically pulling levers
[00:55:15] <arti> 122 records, like sounds
[00:55:27] <arti> sirfinkus: "we need more engineers!"
[00:55:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> basically went through my tunes collection and just picked out a buncha good ones. clocks in at 717MB.
[00:55:40] <arti> cool stuff :D
[00:55:44] <paulej72> choo choo engineers
[00:56:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, it was a pain but the roomie's kid will think i'm super epic guy for being able to do it.
[00:56:28] <SirFinkus> I picture a Terry Gilliam type operation

[00:57:37] <arti> the Transbit!
[00:57:55] <arti> it identifies with the observer
[00:58:35] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm pretty sure the space-zombies were created by astral vampires too
[00:58:45] <SpallsHurgenson> it all makes sense when you think about it
[00:59:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i'll do a pet ender golem mod next, after we get the site update finalized n rolled out.
[01:00:01] <SirFinkus> fishing mod?
[01:00:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> already is fishing
[01:00:10] <SirFinkus> catch and batter fish
[01:00:27] <SirFinkus> figured there probably would be
[01:00:54] * paulej72 needs to get off my butt and do some sn coding
[01:00:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> every rpg since EQ has had fishing, seems like.
[01:01:14] <SirFinkus> eve online didn't have fishing
[01:01:20] <SirFinkus> unless you counted can flipping
[01:02:03] <SpallsHurgenson> skyrim didn't have fishing
[01:02:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> paulej72, i'd like to roll out whatever we have after a week of testing like Feb 1. woulda liked it around new years but i always forget how busy that time of year gets.
[01:02:15] <arti> not at release
[01:02:17] <SirFinkus> skyrim was barely an rpg
[01:02:19] <SpallsHurgenson> it had fishing poles but no fishing :/
[01:02:23] <takyon> what
[01:02:31] <takyon> what was wrong with skyrim
[01:02:34] <arti> there's so many mods
[01:02:40] <SpallsHurgenson> if we're counting EQ as an RPG...
[01:02:41] <paulej72> I can do that I think
[01:02:46] <arti> they've got a minigame where you do trading
[01:03:00] <arti> between towns, market prices etc.
[01:03:04] <arti> so many mods
[01:03:04] <SirFinkus> it was trash, no sense of progression, the stats hardly mattered
[01:03:15] <arti> ^-- sounds like final fantasy
[01:03:21] <SirFinkus> nor the equipment
[01:03:24] <arti> "better play more for some cut scenes"
[01:03:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> cool cool. i got a bug fix or two left i wanna get in there but i think i'm mostly done with this update.
[01:03:43] <SirFinkus> I tried to play a few final fantasy games, I found them very boring
[01:03:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> #smake SirFinkus
[01:03:53] * MrPlow smakes SirFinkus upside the head with a 988
[01:04:00] * arti talks out of sync with the audio
[01:04:06] <SirFinkus> TheMightyBuzzard: I tried
[01:04:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> how did you not get hooked on em as a kid?
[01:04:38] <SirFinkus> gave an honest 2 hours to FFX and FFVII, both we crap
[01:04:48] <SirFinkus> too busy playing Grandia
[01:04:52] <arti> grandia was cool
[01:05:03] <arti> tangent: did you ever play super mario rpg?
[01:05:05] <SirFinkus> and age of empires
[01:05:13] <SirFinkus> naw
[01:05:14] <arti> AoE is in a revival
[01:05:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> try FF III (VI if you're japanese)
[01:05:39] <takyon> Age of Empires?
[01:05:40] <arti> AoE II is pretty popular right now, they've released more expansions
[01:05:41] <arti> ya
[01:05:43] <SirFinkus> I might, but I feel like I've given the series more than a fair shot
[01:05:49] <SirFinkus> the HD remake is pretty nice
[01:05:52] * arti nods
[01:05:57] <SirFinkus> just turn off the 3d water
[01:06:04] * arti converts one of finkus's catapults to christianity
[01:06:06] <takyon> the new new AOE 2 added those super gigantic map sizes
[01:06:20] <arti> wololo
[01:06:23] <takyon> you could only convert catapults in Age of Empires: Rise of Rome
[01:06:31] <takyon> llel
[01:06:35] <paulej72> woo hoo. I am done with august and down to 518 emails
[01:06:52] <SirFinkus> I mainly used monks for healing and carrying relics
[01:06:54] <arti> Emails: Gotta Read 'em ALL!
[01:07:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> paulej72, you know it'd be a crying shame if your fingers slipped and hit ctrl-A and then delete
[01:07:13] <takyon> I really liked the relic implementation in Age of Mythology, where you got a random bonus
[01:07:49] <paulej72> TheMightyBuzzard: that instadeath in this game
[01:08:05] <SirFinkus> I also liked cheating, giving myself unlimited resources, and attacking with mobs of villagers building castles and bombard towers
[01:08:18] <takyon> castle rush
[01:08:21] <arti> village rush is good
[01:08:26] <takyon> like cannon rush in Starcraft
[01:08:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> need a small perl script to autorespond then
[01:08:45] <SirFinkus> not really though, since it takes a while in aoe2
[01:08:56] <SirFinkus> gotta advance an age, and building shit takes forever
[01:09:16] <takyon> castles really fuck with the AI though if you get them in the right places
[01:09:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> have it throw some random bofh buzzwords into an explanation then take a random corrective action like forcing a password reset or deleting half their mailbox
[01:09:23] <SirFinkus> you could probably do it, but if you rushed your age upgrade that quickly, they'd know what's up if it was a human
[01:09:24] <takyon> humans, maybe not so much
[01:09:40] <SirFinkus> so it's even more all-in than cannon rushes
[01:09:51] <takyon> one of the civs can build castles for 400-something stone instead of 650
[01:10:03] <takyon> i think it's the franks
[01:10:15] <SirFinkus> the guard towers are pretty week too if there's just one of them
[01:10:32] <takyon> towers are pretty week in AOE2. they were strong in AOE1
[01:10:38] <takyon> *weak
[01:10:46] <SirFinkus> so I don't think you could rush something like that very effectively
[01:11:00] <SirFinkus> unless the enemy had a resource that they hadn't touched, but were going to need soon
[01:11:23] <SirFinkus> you could create a pita at a gold mine for instance
[01:14:11] <takyon> in AOE2 I really liked that competitive map where you got a line of castles and units that just spawned at a base, and then you get upgrades and super units by getting kills
[01:14:13] <SirFinkus> the best game for building attacks is supcom though
[01:14:17] <takyon> castle something
[01:14:26] <SirFinkus> god, the artillery
[01:15:04] <SirFinkus> I remember I won a game once because my huge artillery cannon hit an enemy experimental just as it was taking off across the map
[01:15:08] <SirFinkus> it was awesome
[01:17:02] <SirFinkus> it's all kitty collector now

[01:18:23] <SirFinkus> they're on to something
[01:18:43] <takyon> it was called castle blood
[01:18:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> apparently it's an incomplete cat without an X under the tail
[01:19:24] <SirFinkus> if you want cat asshole, get the paper bag
[01:19:53] <SirFinkus> consistent cat asshole, although you won't be lacking cat asshole with most items
[01:20:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> get any paper. they'll plop their brown-eye down on it faster than you can read the first paragraph of what's written on it.
[01:20:51] <SirFinkus> yeah, cats love rubbing their assholes on things
[01:21:10] <SirFinkus> if you pet a cat, they'll present their asshole to you and rub it against you
[01:21:16] <SirFinkus> put that shit right in your face
[01:21:22] <SirFinkus> "come on, rim me"
[01:21:26] <SirFinkus> no, fuck you cat
[01:21:34] <SirFinkus> you can rim yourself
[01:21:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> i kinda pity my female cat. she don't got a tail to cover that shit up in the winter.
[01:22:48] <SirFinkus> cats have really rough tongues too, I can imagine why they'd enjoy licking their assholes
[01:22:55] <SirFinkus> that's like a nighmare to me
[01:23:01] <SirFinkus> rubbing my asshole with sandpaper

[02:03:55] <cmn32480> I';m sorry.. Hexchat stopped scrolling right around "why shoudl I let my cat lick my asshole?"
[02:03:57] <cmn32480> I think
[02:04:01] <paulej72> 161 and now in May
[02:04:03] <cmn32480> I'm a touch frightened...
[02:04:34] <SirFinkus> hey, not my fault
[02:04:50] <paulej72> hexchat on a mac scrolls soooooo pooooorly
[02:04:50] <cmn32480> I compltely disagree
[02:05:15] <SirFinkus> go back and read the logs, it clearly wasn't my fault
[02:05:32] <SirFinkus> save yourself some trouble and just use textual or limechat
[02:14:39] <Deucalion> hexchat on linux scrolls terribly too... grab the scroll bar lozenge, move 1mm... ohh now we're back in July 2015... mouse scroll wheel works ok though, probably end up with RSI or something though. Would be nice to be able to click in the channel window and just use the cursor keys to scroll up n down
[02:17:01] <cmn32480> I musta scrolled and ti stopped adn didn't pick up the auto scroll.
[02:17:09] <cmn32480> generally it works reasonably well
[02:17:21] <Deucalion> cmn32480, good luck on that hovercraft thing :P
[02:17:44] <cmn32480> hovercraft thing?
[02:17:49] <cmn32480> I missed something

[02:18:22] <cmn32480> I rather enjoyed the hovercraft

[02:19:31] * Deucalion looks at Steam... how many HL variants are awaiting me? ye gads.
[02:20:04] <Deucalion> I enjoyed the hovercraft / swamp boat for the first few minutes... then it went on and on and on...
[02:20:17] <SirFinkus> only half life, half life2, hl2 ep1 and hl2 ep 2
[02:20:55] <SirFinkus> note the lack of episode 3
[02:21:14] <Deucalion> TheMightyBuzzard, I have, but I'd like to go line by line not page by page :D
[02:21:44] <cmn32480> that has been noted Sirfinkus
[02:21:48] <cmn32480> and I'm OK wiht it
[02:21:59] <SpallsHurgenson> half life 3 was awful
[02:22:14] <SirFinkus> it was supposed to be release like 7 years ago
[02:22:37] <paulej72> 100 items and all I can move for now.
[02:24:02] <SpallsHurgenson> it definitely felt like a 7 year old game...

[02:37:35] <fliptop> no msrp is listed either
[02:37:38] <paulej72> I had gift cards to burn
[02:37:42] <cmn32480> ingram is often not the cheapest gaem in town
[02:37:56] <fliptop> yeah but when you need it on 30-days net...
[02:38:05] <cmn32480> hell yues
[02:38:29] <fliptop> or if you need 500 of them
[02:38:34] <fliptop> on 30 days net
[02:39:17] <cmn32480> they only show 392 in stock... you are out of luck on the qty....
[02:39:51] <cmn32480> and your ingram price is a few dollars better than mine
[02:39:53] <fliptop> i used to use synnex too but they pissed me off
[02:40:04] <cmn32480> we use them pretty rarely
[02:40:28] <fliptop> i lost my account rep that i had for many years and it was downhill after that
[02:40:51] <cmn32480> I think I ordered from synnex once in the last 5 years
[02:41:10] <cmn32480> and that was becasue they beat ingram by like 10% on some HP switches
[02:41:39] <fliptop> truthfully, back then i sorta got tired shopping both places for the better prices
[02:42:04] <cmn32480> i just spec'd the part number... up to the rep to find the price between distributors
[02:42:51] <fliptop> i did sell a lot of lcd tvs that i got from synnex, they had really good prices on them. plasma too
[02:44:54] <Deucalion> the drive activity light was the thing that tipped me off to ext4 being a bad thing on Western Dig drives.... drive goes to sleep, parks heads, filesystem journalling comes along and wakes up the drive, heads ramp back on... over and over every minute.... within a month the drive was way over its ramp on/off count for imminent failure. Even with no disk activity from the OS, the journalling was causing the disk to ramp the heads up and down wit
[02:44:54] <Deucalion> h nothing to write.
[02:45:00] <cmn32480> we deal mostly in barcode scanners, mobile terminals, and wireless backbones
[02:45:42] <cmn32480> so we deal only on the fringes w/ Ingram and synnex

[02:45:58] <paulej72> that ture of most drives. set to have Windows overwrite the defauls of the drive settings. Other OSs do not
[02:46:09] <cmn32480> because they specialize in the stuff for our main business
[02:46:21] <fliptop> i get all my cases and power supplies from sourcecode, everything else is ingm
[02:49:23] <fliptop> Deucalion: WD doesn't have a utility to fix that?
[02:49:50] <paulej72> Windows only
[02:50:40] <paulej72> I had to set something on my WD on my Mac that sets the drive to the proper spin down at every boot
[02:51:13] <Deucalion> paulej72, I used wd3idle to stop the drives torturing themselves. Negates all power savings of course but damn those ramp on and off counts were insane.
[02:51:38] <paulej72> yep saw the same thing on my Mac

[02:57:21] <paulej72> reds are set not to spin down as much and cause problems with RAIS
[02:57:25] <chromas> Click a type then it gives you a table o' colors
[02:58:30] <Deucalion> Purple are CCTV storage apparently.... I mean really... what does that even mean... ideal for continuous storage... wtf does a HDD care what application is storing data on it.. marketing BS I say.
[02:59:27] <paulej72> I run Raid 1 in my office machines so I like the reds when I load them up with dual 2 TB jobbies
[03:00:05] <paulej72> Deucalion: shit at random access is how I read the purple prose
[03:01:01] <fliptop> looks like you get an extra year warranty w/ purple
[03:01:43] <paulej72> reds are 3 year same as purple
[03:04:41] <paulej72> although i have not done a warranty replacement of a drive in years, mostly as it has been a pain in the neck to do a the work and give them a credit card
[03:05:29] <cmn32480> black
[03:05:32] <cmn32480> always black
[03:05:34] <cmn32480> 5 years
[03:05:47] <cmn32480> once you go black... you never go back!
[03:05:49] <cmn32480> nograb'
[03:07:11] <Deucalion> I'm cynical of the whole power saving drives thing..... just spin it up and keep it spinning, keep the heads flying.... they don't use that much power and replacement or failure is such a time sink.
[03:08:49] <SpallsHurgenson> useful on a laptop
[03:09:38] <SirFinkus> it adds up if you have 400 of them
[03:09:48] <SpallsHurgenson> big laptop :)
[03:10:06] <SirFinkus> although I doubt they're used in datacenters
[03:10:16] <SirFinkus> maybe for things that aren't accessed very often?

[03:11:31] <cmn32480> I've heard the same type story on a novell server
[03:11:51] <fliptop> paulej72: i buy seagate, their warranty replacement procedure is pretty painless
[03:12:18] <paulej72> it should be their drives are shit
[03:12:18] <fliptop> i know they've received some bad press lately but out of the 1000's i've sold over the years only 2 have failed under warranty
[03:12:24] <Deucalion> fliptop, it should be, they do it often enough.
[03:12:55] <paulej72> when a drive dies at work, 90% are segates
[03:13:16] <fliptop> i dunno, they've been fairly reliable for me. i had problems w/ wd years ago and stopped using them
[03:13:44] * fliptop is wondering if the drives sold last year will fail this year
[03:13:58] <paulej72> for me wd were shit when they were 4 GB drives and smaller.
[03:14:41] <paulej72> although the WD green drives are shit no matter what. I had two die sitting in a box
[03:14:48] <Deucalion> Haven't they all amalgamated into one by now? Hitatchi is Seagate is WD is IBM... I lose track of any competition in the spinning rust space
[03:16:44] <cmn32480> seagate and WD are different companied
[03:16:49] <cmn32480> that is about it
[03:16:57] <cmn32480> everybody else is pretty much owned by one of them
[03:17:41] <SpallsHurgenson> well, hitachi
[03:17:49] <SpallsHurgenson> and samsung
[03:17:53] <paulej72> OK time for me to rest. my tailbone is on fire. see you later all
[03:18:00] <Deucalion> No matter.... solid state is the way to go... at least there are no heads to crash when shocked... oh... you wanted a secure delete function, can't guarantee that... wear levelling and all... guess that is no different to bad blocks getting marked out ~shrug~
[03:18:44] <SirFinkus> full drive encryption is a must on ssds

[14:47:36] <nick> but ive reread a couple of times, and i'm still pretty happy with the content
[14:47:58] <Runaway1956> Long time ago, it seemed that the Brits really knew what was happening in the world, despite the fact that Americans were happy being ignorant
[14:48:10] <Runaway1956> These days, it seems the Brits have joined us in our ignorance.
[14:48:29] <Runaway1956> There's no longer a huge difference in British and American reporting
[14:48:32] <nick> not sure about that, being 'british'?
[14:48:58] <nick> speaking to the older members of family and such, there's not much understanding really
[14:49:00] <Runaway1956> as evidenced by the conspiracy between Bush and Blair being pushed so hard on both sides of the Atlantic
[14:49:22] <Runaway1956> You're saying I gave the Brits to much credit?
[14:49:35] <nick> well, if anything, the closeness of bush and blair, is an example of how little choice the current democratic process really represents
[14:49:51] <nick> gwb is supposed to represent a right wing conservative america
[14:49:55] <Runaway1956> Yep . . .
[14:50:02] <nick> blair was from the party of union workers and liberals
[14:50:34] <nick> from a political heritage of the left that doesn't even exist in the US that i'm aware of
[14:50:35] <Runaway1956> And, all the parties only give lip service to their alleged positions
[14:50:58] <nick> they all agree on the important things
[14:52:01] <nick> monetary policy and frequent military engagements are not really in dispute
[14:52:14] <nick> the rhetoric is a little different, but the ends are much the same
[14:53:17] <nick> my grandparents are quite certain that if Labour ever got in again, they'd try to kill off all the pensioners
[14:53:47] <nick> no evidence of this, no parties go after the largest voter base
[14:54:24] <nick> never done it before, and if anything, the opposite with all the spending the previous labour government did
[14:54:26] <Runaway1956> True - and "baby boomers" are going to remain a large base for another - ohhhh - fifteen years.
[14:55:31] <nick> as i've brought up before, in this channel, my dad think of himself as a socialist, but he's not... just out of the two labels, it seemed to fit the best around the exposure he got.
[14:56:24] * chromas sets up the (coin-operated) death panels
[14:56:26] <nick> i dont have any reason to suggest any generation is more aware than any other
[14:56:42] <Runaway1956> Labels - we have to choose one when we register to vote. I hated both of the main parties, so I selected "Independent".
[14:57:10] <nick> and i understand why, it takes a lot of time to actually get to grips with history and the fact that key events in history did not happen in isolation
[14:58:11] <nick> i considered an independent vote for the last election, but was warned off it due to the importance of the election the the nations stability due to another coalition
[14:58:24] <nick> so i should vote for the same party that's been in control of this area for over 100 years
[14:58:33] <nick> because it's worked out so super until now
[14:59:13] <Runaway1956> Well, here, "independent" doesn't really have a party - it's just what the term means in the dictionary.
[14:59:15] <nick> i didn't vote in the end, but when no one represents you, the lesser evil is still quite evil and a lesser evil only continues down the wrong path every time, just subjectively slower perhaps
[14:59:49] <nick> yeah, i understand that. there's a lot of parties here, but none really matter, just a different colour tie
[15:00:27] <nick> so entrenched in a two party system, and having no debate over anything important
[15:01:00] <nick> charlie brooker's 2015 wipe showed me an interesting point.. when PM Dave C make a point about a policy or an agenda
[15:01:11] <nick> he usually finishes the statement with "because it's the right thing to do"
[15:01:37] <nick> and then probably walks off before anyone can ask him a question
[15:02:28] <nick> but what can you expect from a PR man who became a politician.
[15:03:10] <Runaway1956> Probably as much as a community organizer
[15:05:16] <nick> i hope my comments on your story get at least a couple people thinking a bit more broadly about current conflicts and the general state of geopolitics and media involvement in it
[15:05:37] <Runaway1956> Hungry - gotta see if the wife is cooking anything today . . . . probably have to cook for myself.
[15:06:12] <nick> should probably go be tangibly productive myself...

[18:56:59] <fliptop> a month ago:
[18:57:02] <fliptop> https://soylentnews.org
[18:57:03] <cloudshark> ^ 03SN article: Mozilla to Cease Development of Firefox OS 04(26 comments)
[18:58:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> fliptop: I've concluded that Mozilla no longers cares about their user base, and therefore the best path is to ignore them as completely as you can.
[18:59:41] <mechanicjay> AndyTheAbsurd++
[18:59:41] <Bender> karma - andytheabsurd: 14
[19:02:52] <fliptop> AndyTheAbsurd: perhaps, although they did help me fairly quickly w/ the mp4 bug issue i had recently
[19:03:21] <Gravis> fliptop: they grasping at straws in a feeble attempt to save themselves.
[19:03:36] <Gravis> fliptop: though it's really whatever the execs say, not the minion
[19:03:37] <Gravis> s
[19:03:49] <fliptop> wow, the writing is on the wall for you guys, huh?
[19:04:16] <Gravis> fliptop: has been for quite some time
[19:04:44] <Gravis> fliptop: unless they refocus on actually making something people want, they are finished.
[19:05:09] <AndyTheAbsurd> Not merely "on the wall" for me - I don't use any Mozilla products (at least not directly) currently.
[19:05:24] <Gravis> same
[19:05:45] <Gravis> i like chromium
[19:05:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> I do use Pale Moon as my browser, which is forked from Firefox, but it's diverged so far it's not really fair to call it a branch of Firefox.
[19:07:15] <Gravis> fliptop: they basically squandered what makes them unique and then did everything else worse.
[19:07:20] <mechanicjay> I was running PaleMoon for about 6 months, gave it an honest shot, but ran into really bizare random crashes and recently gave up on it.
[19:07:35] <Gravis> fliptop: so mozilla is finished
[19:08:30] <Gravis> fliptop: do you think otherwise?
[19:08:33] <nick> i'd say mozilla is fading into obscurity and irrelevance
[19:08:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> I just asked in the Pale Moon IRC channel: Who here is convinced that Google is bribing Mozilla insiders to deliberately destroy Firefox?
[19:09:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> There's only a few active users right now but they all seem to think it's likely.
[19:09:51] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: that would be insideous but stupidity seems more likely than malice.
[19:11:09] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: it would have to be a shitload of money, programmers generally like making cool stuff.
[19:11:21] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Downton Abbey's Julian Fellowes Pioneers New App-Based Format for Novel - http://sylnt.us - whats-old-is-new-again
[19:11:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> Gravis: the people making these decisions are the programmers, they're Management.
[19:12:22] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: exactly why it's more likely to be stupidity ;)
[19:13:10] <cmn32480> ooooo this monitor gors to 2048x1152!
[19:13:27] <AndyTheAbsurd> for example, there's a bug in Mozilla's Bugzilla to remove FTP support from "platform" (which is the actual executable). I pointed it out on my local LUG's IRC channel, where one of the members works for Mozilla - he describe the person who entered the bug as his "great-great-great-grandboss" or something similar.
[19:14:18] -!- Runaway1956 has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
[19:14:30] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: there is no question that management is sinking mozilla but managers are commonly clueless
[19:15:07] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: i would be surprised if it was intentional
[19:15:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yes, but they're generally clueless as to what can or can't be accomplished (either at all or in a reasonable timeframe). A manager asking for a feature to be *removed*? That's almost unheard-of.
[19:15:46] <fliptop> Gravis: i'm not sure how i feel, i install ff on every machine i sell and most people seem to like it
[19:15:47] -!- BadCoderFinger [BadCoderFinger!~BadCoderF@216.160.gyz.km] has joined #Soylent
[19:16:09] <fliptop> Gravis: but this development is troubling, to say the least
[19:16:37] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: they probably had retarded logic thinking it would speed up the browser.
[19:16:48] <q__kontinuum> AndyTheAbsurd: Managers have visions. That can account for nearly anything
[19:17:10] <mechanicjay> The pulled gopher support some time ago...bastards.
[19:17:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> q__kontinuum: possibly.
[19:17:30] <q__kontinuum> I'd think paying to sabotage Mozilla would be too risky for Google. If that came out publicly it would be a desaster.
[19:17:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> q__kontinuum: Also why are a different person from Q_Continuum on freenode?
[19:17:47] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: clearly you haven't dealt with many managers. :P
[19:18:09] <q__kontinuum> I usually spell myself with K as in kontinuum.
[19:18:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> The other Q_Continuum is Qlaras on soylentnews.org; I don't think he's ever been in this IRC.
[19:19:11] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: you also have the problem of managers with conflicting visions acting at the same time
[19:19:40] <q__kontinuum> AndyTheAbsurd: Hmm. Don't know that guy then. I'm https://soylentnews.org
[19:19:41] <cloudshark> ^ 03q.kontinuum - SoylentNews User
[19:19:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> Gravis: Yeah, *that* one I've been in the middle of.
[19:19:59] <AndyTheAbsurd> Manager A: We should be an agile shop!
[19:20:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> Manager B: Too many changes that go into production are causing problems, we need better change control!
[19:20:25] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: but q__kontinuum is right that it would be risky to sabotage mozilla because of the potential fallout
[19:20:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> Me: How the fuck are we supposed to be agile when it takes a minimum of a week to get a change into production?
[19:21:41] <q__kontinuum> AndyTheAbsurd: My topic at work... Implement a good CI system with good test coverage :-)
[19:22:32] <q__kontinuum> That's terribly agile, Manager A should love it
[19:25:54] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: so you can tell the pale moon people that managers working independently toward their vision are destroying mozilla, in the same way that congress critters are destroying congress.
[19:26:19] <Gravis> or rather 'Merica.
[19:26:33] <Gravis> ;)
[19:26:55] <q__kontinuum> Gravis: Wasn't that 'murica?
[19:27:09] <Gravis> q__kontinuum: eh, whatever
[19:27:25] <AndyTheAbsurd> q__kontinuum: I actually just got a recruiter reaching out to me because of the experience I got at that job...so I guess that's cool.

[20:06:47] <SirFinkus> I meant in the chex mix
[20:06:58] <SirFinkus> it lends the farts a unique scent
[20:07:16] <SirFinkus> after I ate a shitton of chex mix once, my farts smelled so bad I nearly threw up
[20:07:25] <SirFinkus> I was retching
[20:07:31] <SirFinkus> that was my own scent too
[20:07:48] <cmn32480> so the moral of the story is: don't eat chex mix and then fart in the shower?

[23:26:16] <mechanicjay> Those quotes provide a nice trip down memory lane.
[23:26:49] <qkontinuum> Yes... I intended to read them without spamming, but don't know how or where

[23:29:49] <mechanicjay> you could always parse those out for "grabs"

[23:34:38] <qkontinuum> Hm. I can grep for "Quote d+", but this would only return those already quoted before...
[23:36:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> qkontinuum: grab the file, `grep -n "!quote"` (-n will get you the line number), then open the file in an editor that lets you jump to line numbers so you can scroll back to see what was grabbed.

[23:40:02] <mechanicjay> the more entertaining stuff might be to grep for "nograb" and see what someone didn't want to be saved as a quote :)
[23:41:33] <qkontinuum> AndyTheAbsurd: Thanks, but shouldn't I grep for "!grab" to get all quotes?
[23:41:51] <qkontinuum> If I want to get everything which was quoted before, I could use
[23:42:01] <qkontinuum> grep -r "Quote " * | sed "s/.*<\/span>//" | sort

[23:44:50] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Microsoft Admits just how much it Spies on its Customers - http://sylnt.us - TANSTAAFL
[23:48:26] <takyon> probably my angriest submission on the crypto wars yet

[23:48:53] <cloudshark> ^ 03SN Submission by takyon: Another Secretive Meeting Between Lying Obama Administration Officials and Silicon Valley
[23:49:35] <BadCoderFinger> Wait, were there people who didn't believe that Microsoft was spying on them?
[23:50:37] <takyon> yeah this is some fud
[23:50:40] <takyon> look at that list
[23:50:42] <takyon> 2.4 billion questions asked to virtual assistant Cortana
[23:50:42] <takyon> 30% more Bing search queries per Windows 10 device versus previous versions of the OS
[23:51:03] <takyon> no shit! you search something and microsoft/google/yahoo knows?! WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA
[23:51:07] <BadCoderFinger> Accidental, no doubt.
[23:52:09] <BadCoderFinger> When bing first appeared, I'd make sure to search for "Linux" twice a day for a while.
[23:52:32] <BadCoderFinger> "How to install Linux" "remove windows replace with Linux" that sort of thing.
[23:52:45] <takyon> script that shit
[23:52:56] <takyon> add in a random time delay
[23:52:58] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, curl was my friend!
[23:53:28] <BadCoderFinger> I set the user agent to some incarnation of IE6, heh!
[23:54:27] <BadCoderFinger> If I had used "Can we make the windows interface even worse?" then you could blame me for windows 8.
[23:54:45] <qkontinuum> AndyTheAbsurd: According to http://collabedit.com we have 509 quotes, but only 187 were ever read afterwards...
[23:55:16] <qkontinuum> So I will have to grep again using !grab and a script searching for previous mention of username now...
[23:57:13] <mechanicjay> iterate through the file, keep an associative array of username -> thing said. Update 'thing-said' each time something new is said. When you see a "grab username" print out the value of array['username']
[23:57:31] <mechanicjay> That should get you all quotes. Maybe not the most efficient, but it should be pretty easy to pull off.
[23:57:44] <mechanicjay> though I think arrays in bash are kind of a pain.

[23:58:12] <takyon> FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
[23:58:50] <qkontinuum> mechanicjay: Yes, probably the easiest approach. Array in bash: Not a problem, I'll use python anyway.
