[00:00:25] <sea> and then each of the mini-jokes is wrapped up in this big olympic metaphor that I can't figure out. I'm not sure what the points mean..and this tumblr special olympics section on the side, drawn crudely..I don't get it, but it's obviously meant to be funny
[00:01:36] <sea> I'll give it another 15 minutes worth of thought, then say it just went over my head and give up
[00:02:57] <arti> lol oppression olympics
[00:03:05] <sea> :/
[00:03:15] <sea> Damnit! Arti gets it but not me
[00:03:58] <arti> are you esl?
[00:04:28] * sea thinks a/s/l with the a swapped for e.. hmm
[00:04:35] <arti> native english speaker?
[00:04:43] <sea> Oh, yeah I speak english natively
[00:04:50] <arti> wonderful
[00:05:12] <arti> minority incidents generate more response
[00:05:29] <arti> sorta like mass shootings are up but overall gun deaths are down
[00:05:49] <arti> also, gun deaths make you more dead than other kinds of dead.
[00:06:48] <sea> Okay, so how does this relate to the olympics?
[00:07:18] <sea> So for instance, I see that disabled people come in 9th
[00:07:38] <sea> ..and women come in 7th. Is this because there are more women than disabled people?
[00:08:50] <sea> no, wait, you're saying that women have a higher place in the olympics here because their oppression stuff is /less/ common than disabled people oppression
[00:09:27] <sea> but then why are black people at the top? This makes no sense
[00:09:40] <chromas> Women are more oppressed than disabled people
[00:09:47] <chromas> Disabled women are even more oppressed
[00:10:05] <sea> Whaaat? but disabled people are clearly more oppressed than women
[00:10:57] <chromas> Disabled black transracial vegan Muslim transgendered women are even more oppressed
[00:11:18] <sea> :S I'm so confused
[00:11:22] <sea> I give up
[00:11:25] <sea> I'm gonna go make dinner
[00:13:16] <chromas> It doesn't have to make sense. Just understand that anyone farther down the chain is oppressing you
[00:13:32] <arti> sorry, making more popcorn
[00:13:37] <arti> -more
[00:13:58] <chromas> If you disagree, then you're just internalizing your misogyny, racism, trans-ism, sexism
[00:14:22] <sea> Nope, don't even try to explain it anymore. This oppression stuff is too complicated for me
[00:15:16] <arti> sea, it's an extremely objective chart
[00:15:55] <chromas> Then you, sir (or ma'am (or otherkin)) just may be a normal adult human being
[00:16:14] <sea> I'm going to stick to simple graduate mathematics, thank you very much.
[00:16:14] <arti> apache attack helicopter
[00:16:18] <arti> get it right
[00:16:25] <sea> The kinda stuff that doesn't make me go HUH? so often as this chart.
[00:16:42] <sea> Also, I can't decide whether I want chicken or fish for dinner
[00:16:47] <sea> Somebody pick for me

[00:18:34] <chromas> $coin chicken fish
[00:18:34] * aqu4 flips a Mexican peso on "chicken fish"
[00:18:35] <aqu4> I got tails.
[00:18:50] -!- BadCoderFinger [BadCoderFinger!~BadCoderF@216.160.gyz.km] has joined #Soylent
[00:19:09] <chromas> Well there ya go. Fish have tails; chickens only have tail feathers
[00:19:09] <BadCoderFinger> Hi guys
[00:19:21] <chromas> Hey BadCoderFinger
[00:23:50] <BadCoderFinger> Hey chromas, how are you?
[00:25:38] <chromas> Not bad. How's the finger?
[00:25:53] <BadCoderFinger> Itching to code, heh.
[00:26:28] <BadCoderFinger> It will be coding, as soon as I get shelled in to work.
[00:27:41] <takyon> yada
[00:27:47] <arti> nice
[00:27:54] <arti> coding up some 'sploits?
[00:28:22] <BadCoderFinger> Nah, nothing fun, just some socket code.
[00:28:29] <arti> C?
[00:28:39] <BadCoderFinger> Cpp
[00:28:48] <arti> filthy casual
[00:29:17] <takyon> what, no C#
[00:29:26] <arti> it's got sharp edges
[00:29:33] <chromas> When will C** be a thing?
[00:29:34] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah. It cuts the screen.
[00:29:40] <cmn32480> wear gloves when hadnling
[00:30:13] <takyon> what, no C++16
[00:31:15] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah. I guess they can't stop screwing around with the language.
[00:31:54] <BadCoderFinger> C++NoCompilerCanPossiblyKeepUpWithOurChanges
[00:32:42] <arti> that sucks
[00:32:58] <arti> it's also nice, besides the syntax that it's keeping up
[00:34:50] * chromas invents ++C, which is C that's improved before you receive it instead of after
[00:35:30] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[00:36:39] <BadCoderFinger> At least I can use vim. Everybody at work loves visual studio.
[00:37:29] <chromas> If it doesn't need a splash screen to let you know it's about to start loading, it can't be that useful
[00:38:46] <BadCoderFinger> If they could get the editor into the splash screen, it might save some time.
[00:39:07] <chromas> Remember when web browsers had splash screens?
[00:40:01] <chromas> We need Forest Gump for computers. "Hey old people, remember this? And this? And this?"
[00:43:51] <BadCoderFinger> That's a thought, replacing the splash screen with an arbitrary image...
[00:44:29] <chromas> Giv vim a splash screen, load emacs into it
[00:44:50] <BadCoderFinger> Funny you say that, there's a video of neovim running emacs inside it.
[00:47:34] <arti> visual studio is a beast to start up
[00:48:18] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, and it's not any better once it starts.
[01:00:51] <sea> C++16? Oooh.
[01:01:29] <BadCoderFinger> C++OhGodISleptLateWhatIsTheRevisionNumberNow
[01:01:51] <sea> I like all the new sea plus pluses
[01:01:59] <sea> They always add cool new stuff.
[01:02:02] <sea> Useful new features.
[01:02:41] <BadCoderFinger> All the bloat they can suck up from boost.
[01:03:08] <sea> The fact that C++ is one of the few languages which supports multithreading in the standard is a big deal.
[01:03:27] <arti> o.o
[01:04:02] <BadCoderFinger> sea: Well, now. Sort of.
[01:04:15] <arti> "few"
[01:04:21] <sea> It's got std::thread and std::mutex, and all that.
[01:04:28] <BadCoderFinger> I like OpenMP, but I prefer pthreads for more fine-grained thread control.
[01:04:51] <arti> are you using sea lion btw?
[01:07:23] <sea> Every time someone suggests I learn "language X", I ask them: Does the standard include complex numbers, threads, sets, lists, vectors, maps, multimaps, and can it do networking?
[01:07:52] <sea> Haskell doesn't do complex numbers. Lisp doesn't do networking. Erlang doesn't do sets or maps. and so on. That question eliminates almost all languages but C++
[01:08:35] <sea> Haskell CAN do complex numbers but it needs an external library and that fucking type-checker throws errors if I so much as try to coerce an integer to a complex.
[01:09:16] <arti> everything has warts
[01:09:30] <sea> Yes, but C++ as the /least/ warts.
[01:09:34] <arti> hahaha
[01:10:19] <chromas> Std:: isn't part of the language; it's just the standard lib
[01:10:23] <sea> It does everything in the standard. I've even got a symbolic algebra library that's just a simple header that I can #include. I wouldn't be surprised if C++16 included fast fourier transforms. Seriously.
[01:10:24] <BadCoderFinger> Erlang doesn't do X (where X == anything useful to programmers)
[01:10:46] <sea> Actually that'd be my killer feature. I should request that.

[01:14:19] <BadCoderFinger> I get that a lot.
[01:14:23] <arti> [ hidden ircing intensifies ]
[01:14:59] <BadCoderFinger> Maybe his splash screen just hadn't finished loading.

[01:17:13] <arti> Client Quit.
[01:17:18] <arti> it was very terse.
[01:17:19] <BadCoderFinger> Guess it's making a statement about pants.

[01:19:37] <arti> *slavery
[01:19:42] <takyon> I don't remember. So it's either a client problem or a joke problem
[01:20:03] <SpallsHurgenson> I blame Microsoft
[01:20:06] <arti> probably a joke problem.

[01:23:56] <SpallsHurgenson> speaking of Microsoft... http://arstechnica.com
[01:23:57] <GravyCheeseFries> ^ 03IDC: PC sales drop to levels not seen since 2007 | Ars Technica
[01:24:24] <sea> Bah, PC sales drop because people are buying raspberry pis and stuff like that
[01:24:26] <arti> muh phone
[01:24:29] <SpallsHurgenson> in 2007, MS was pushing Vista. Sales plummeted. In 2015, MS pushes Win10. Sales plummet. connection?
[01:24:44] <arti> windows10 is good, it's a higher number.
[01:24:58] <sea> but 95 is higher than 10, and 2000 is higher than 95
[01:25:00] <arti> higher numbers are always better, look at the firefox version numbers along with chrome
[01:25:13] <sea> and -1 is higher than all of them combined!
[01:25:16] <arti> the numbers roll over.
[01:25:21] <arti> just like gpus.
[01:25:36] <arti> add in some letters to be sure too, C++ 17 LXI
[01:25:46] <arti> that's a luxury standard right there.
[01:25:55] <BadCoderFinger> SpallsHurgenson: It's windows. Sales aren't tied to anything real. People are buying fewer and fewer PCs, they want phones and tablets. The only thing floating MS is the corporate market.
[01:26:06] <sea> Cloud EnterPrise Edition RC1 Build 93913 Codename: "Banana Fudge Sundae Ice Cream Drama Queen"
[01:26:15] * arti golf claps
[01:26:20] <SpallsHurgenson> stop using facts while I'm bashing windows10!
[01:26:23] <arti> that should do the trick.
[01:26:29] <sea> arti: We'll make a fortune selling that.
[01:26:46] <sea> That's the version number of this rock I found. I'm selling it for $1000.00
[01:27:03] * SpallsHurgenson spreads a rumor that the next major update for win10 will use systemd :)
[01:27:03] <arti> tell people it's an unpolished crystal
[01:27:18] <arti> syndromed already exists in windaz
[01:27:31] <arti> svchost ninja
[01:27:55] <SpallsHurgenson> anyway, what's the numerical value of "vista" anyway?
[01:28:03] <arti> 7.1?
[01:28:10] <arti> 6.1
[01:28:14] <sea> It's 6 and a bit
[01:28:16] <BadCoderFinger> -50
[01:28:22] <arti> 6.1-50^2

[01:28:35] <sea> Ooh!
[01:28:40] * SpallsHurgenson needs something that can convert from base36
[01:28:41] <sea> I'm gonna freak someone out with that
[01:28:44] <sea> ~weather Seattle
[01:28:46] <exec> 10Seattle, WA, USA - currently 43°F / 6°C, cloudy, wind S at 7 mph, humidity 86% - Wednesday scattered showers (38°F:44°F / 3°C:7°C), Thursday partly cloudy (39°F:46°F / 4°C:8°C), Friday rain (41°F:47°F / 5°C:8°C), Saturday rain (43°F:49°F / 6°C:9°C)
[01:29:06] <cmn32480> imagine that... rain in the forecast for Seattle...
[01:29:12] <sea> Okay, now I'll pretend to be psychic and tell this person what temperature it is outside.
[01:29:12] <BadCoderFinger> Spalls: I think zsh can do it with the 36# prefix.
[01:29:41] <arti> freezing rain
[01:29:41] <SpallsHurgenson> ah, in base36 VISTA is equal to 52945246 in decimal :)
[01:30:27] <SpallsHurgenson> (at least, so says some random site on the internet I'm too lazy to double-check its accuracy :)
[01:30:50] <takyon> what is base 36 for
[01:31:30] <SpallsHurgenson> its like Area51, but for bigfoot instead of aliens
[01:31:39] <arti> it comes after base 35
[01:31:47] <sea> I'm an expert on aliens, and martians in particular.
[01:31:52] <BadCoderFinger> takyon: Storing very large numbers, like public keys, in an ASCII format.
[01:31:56] <arti> i would imagine so, so close to canada
[01:31:56] <takyon> you should embrace base 60
[01:31:59] <sea> I'm actually the head of a podcast on aliens among us.
[01:32:08] <arti> "not saying it's aliens..."
[01:32:12] <sea> BUT IT WAS MARTIANS
[01:32:20] <arti> damn green bastids
[01:32:27] <sea> Actually the martians are purple.
[01:32:32] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, I forgot to pick up the dvd for The Martian today
[01:32:36] <arti> just depends on the light.
[01:32:59] <takyon> well if it's storage you want, I think there are 64 easily usable characters
[01:33:13] <arti> did you know that martians favorite chocolate bar is a mars bar?
[01:33:19] <sea> That is SO false.
[01:33:42] <takyon> no martians favorite chocolate bar is Pay Day
[01:33:49] <takyon> because they are all miners on contract
[01:33:52] <sea> We have evidence strongly suggesting that it's Oh Henry
[01:34:21] <BadCoderFinger> It's more like 3 Musketeers, since there are no peanuts on Mars.
[01:34:45] <takyon> no it's Milky Way, because Mars is just a pit stop to the galaxy!
[01:35:08] * TheMightyBuzzard yawns
[01:35:22] * arti yawns in return
[01:35:35] * BadCoderFinger barely avoids yawning.
[01:35:44] * cmn32480 winks
[01:35:46] * BadCoderFinger has a beer instead.
[01:35:55] * cmn32480 blinks
[01:36:02] <takyon> BadCoderFinger
[01:36:11] * sea opens wide to yawn and...bites a donut..
[01:36:19] <sea> mm...donuts..
[01:36:22] <takyon> if you want to store things in ASCII, why not use uppercase, lowercase, numerals, and two symbols for a total of 64 characters
[01:37:03] <sea> Do you get more symbols if you do it in two different fonts? ;)
[01:37:03] <chromas> What if your storage/transport is case insensitive?
[01:37:05] <BadCoderFinger> takyon: That would work, but the tools I work with export and import base 36, so that's what I use most often.
[01:37:22] <BadCoderFinger> sea: Use emacs, that way you can use many fonts.
[01:37:28] <arti> chromas: like non-PC?

[01:38:11] <SpallsHurgenson> poor ö gets the shaft again
[01:38:13] <arti> speaking of drinks, where is coffee
[01:38:19] <arti> coffee++
[01:38:19] <Bender> karma - coffee: 2077
[01:38:26] <arti> neat.
[01:38:44] <cmn32480> arti - it's that brown stuff in the pit from this morning. but that isn't important right now
[01:38:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, ain't that the year of the big war in the fallout series?
[01:38:54] <SpallsHurgenson> surely you're not serious
[01:39:03] <arti> yex.
[01:39:16] <arti> beware the synths
[01:39:50] <BadCoderFinger> SpallsHurgenson: I am serious. And stop calling me Shirley.
[01:39:50] <sea> BadCoderFinger: Base36 only gives you about a 55% improvement in data size over Base10. You might as well just eat the extra filesize and go base10. It makes it easier to fiddle with the data using other programs.
[01:39:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't mind the synths. it's the rads that bug me.
[01:40:03] * chromas playth the thynthethither
[01:40:08] <arti> now kith
[01:40:10] <BadCoderFinger> sea: You don't have to convince me, heh.
[01:40:17] * SirFinkus is beginning to question whether "culture" is a thing that actually exists, and that can be studied
[01:40:23] <SpallsHurgenson> nobody discuss fallout. I'm trying to hold out on buying fo4 until the goty is available, and I have weak willpower
[01:40:32] <SirFinkus> I'm deep down the rabbit hole now
[01:40:34] <arti> ask the zentradi
[01:40:43] <sea> BadCoderFinger: What you should do is make a simple translation program that you can pipe your data into immediately after it's produced
[01:40:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> SpallsHurgenson, console or pc?
[01:41:03] <takyon> knowing Bethesda, there GOTY include DLC+expansions...... so you'll be waiting a long time
[01:41:11] <SirFinkus> still using the book an lectures as a source
[01:41:31] <SpallsHurgenson> TMB: if my previous purchase history is anything to go by... both :)
[01:41:47] <chromas> some DLC+expansions. Then later, a new GotY
[01:42:01] <arti> some D.
[01:42:06] * sea thinks GotY, then thinks DatY, then hmms..
[01:42:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> go ahead n hold out then. mods will reportedly be available for console sometime this year.
[01:42:19] <BadCoderFinger> sea: True enough, if it was an issue. Both read base36 though, so that works for now.
[01:42:20] <arti> that should be fun
[01:42:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> so you can run around nekkid instead of wearin pants
[01:42:27] <arti> "why is my console running out of ram?"
[01:42:28] <takyon> nude mods
[01:42:28] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, I don't PLAY it on console. I just buy it for them :)
[01:42:34] <takyon> total conversions

[01:43:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, i done got the good nudie mods for pc. prolly load them up this weekend.
[01:43:09] <cmn32480> buzzard... we can all do that in real life... jsut that nobody wansts to see it!
[01:43:37] <BadCoderFinger> cmn32480: That does not explain Spalls' webcam.
[01:43:43] <sea> Bah, you're doing it wrong. Almost everybody wants to see, they just pretend they don't.
[01:43:47] <takyon> BadCoderFinger: link
[01:43:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, around here you ain't wrong. haven't seen more than half a dozen women worth seeing without pants in the whole state.
[01:44:05] <cmn32480> seee??????

[02:34:51] <chromas> that would be an overflow and he'd get a 0
[02:34:53] <Bytram> no '10' in that
[02:35:03] <BadCoderFinger> to clarify: 10d
[02:35:08] <Bytram> he also offered a chance for extra credit...
[02:35:16] <sea> Ooh I love extra credit stuff!
[02:35:39] * sea was really, really good at getting extra credit
[02:35:54] -!- SpallsHurgenson has quit [Quit: Nettalk6 - www.ntalk.de]
[02:36:07] <Bytram> 10 questions on an exam; true / false; if you were absolutely certain you knew all the answers, you could choose all of the wrong answers, and he'd give you a score of 150 instead of 100...
[02:36:12] <arti> you get extra credit for working on the SN codebase
[02:36:13] <BadCoderFinger> Extra credit killed Spalls!
[02:36:19] <arti> at least 30 karma.
[02:36:36] <Bytram> but, if you were incorrect in your assessment, and actually got one of those questions right... your score was only 10.
[02:36:54] * Bytram never tried taking him up on that one!
[02:37:19] <arti> hmm, this might be a good resource to do some programming trivia
[02:37:34] * arti files this away in his todo pile
[02:38:10] <sea> lol ten true/false questions? haha. Pathetic. My exam had only a single question on it: "Classify all possible behaviors of the iterated function ..."
[02:38:25] <sea> You either got it right, and passed, or you got it wrong, and failed.
[02:38:34] <arti> just one question then.
[02:39:06] <arti> 1) Do you think you're smarter than a bullet?
[02:39:09] <sea> We also had one month to answer the question and we could use whatever means we could think of to solve it.
[02:39:13] * arti needs to watch that movie again
[02:39:26] <sea> Collaboration was encouraged.
[02:39:30] <arti> ugh
[02:39:37] <arti> collaboration in college sucked
[02:39:53] <arti> daria_volleyball.gif
[02:40:43] <BadCoderFinger> Collaboration in college == One fails, we all fail!
[02:41:03] <arti> means someone is always doing more
[02:41:20] <sea> No this is optional collaboration. The professor literally sent us home with the questions and said: "It's a free for all. Do what you want. If you bring back the right answer, you pass, otherwise, you fail."
[02:41:35] <Bytram> that is NASTY!
[02:41:40] <Bytram> sea: how'd you fare?
[02:42:26] <arti> answer: oppression olympics
[02:42:33] <sea> I passed, but when I worked on the question, it turned out to be so horrifically difficult that it took me most of that month to actually solve it. I actually had to go to the library and learn another branch of maths just to find a method of attack that would work
[02:42:55] <Bytram> impressive!
[02:43:02] <Bytram> were thelectures of any help?
[02:43:40] <sea> No. We asked for help lots of times but all he did was smile and say: "What, the whole internet and library at your disposal and you STILL want can't do it without help? You call yourselves smart?"
[02:43:52] <sea> or something to that effect
[02:43:57] <sea> No hints, nothing.
[02:44:01] <sea> Figure it out yourselves or fail.
[02:44:05] <chromas> that's why they're professors instead of teachers
[02:44:27] <Bytram> so, he starts the first class with the problem, and that's all he did?
[02:45:03] <sea> There was a twist, btw. Once someone got the solution other students could copy it. When it finally came time to hand in the answers, he conducted an interview with each student and asked them to explain the solution to him.
[02:45:15] <sea> If you didn't understand it yourself, you failed.
[02:46:06] <sea> There was a student riot after that and that particular professor couldn't teach first year math classes anymore, but since he /is/, in fact, the best math professor of all, he's still allowed to teach 2nd year and above maths courses because he's just so damn good.
[02:46:38] <Bytram> so were there any lectures or anything?
[02:46:44] <sea> Of course there were lectures.
[02:47:08] <Bytram> so, he DID cover the material, but just wouldn't answer 'The Question' or give any hints?
[02:47:08] <sea> This was something that was given to us very early in the course, and we were made well aware that we had a full month to solve it on our own time. The lectures went on as normal in the meantime.
[02:47:15] <sea> Bytram: No, the material was NOT covered.
[02:47:37] <sea> Bytram: It was totally new stuff. His reasoning is that as university students, we need to learn how to figure things out that /weren't handed to us on a silver platter/.
[02:48:03] <Bytram> oh, I understand that, but HIS job is to help impart that knowledge, right?
[02:48:37] <Bytram> well, on a positive note, it does seem like he wanted you to learn the material instead of just memorize it to 'get a grade'
[02:48:38] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - The 'Hidden' Cost of Using ZFS for Your Home NAS - http://sylnt.us - just-use-jbod
[02:48:43] <sea> He explained how it was done once we were done.
[02:49:03] <Bytram> kind of 'Port Mortem', then
[02:49:19] <chromas> what was the student riot about?
[02:49:27] <sea> "His courses are too hard"
[02:49:33] <sea> "His pass rate is too low"
[02:49:38] <sea> (Pass rate: 8%)
[02:49:41] <chromas> "it's not your job to teach us! your job is to provide a safe space!"
[02:49:43] <Bytram> they handed in the right answer because they just copied other's papers (allowed) but didn't understand it.
[02:49:45] <sea> Or 13%, about that area.
[02:50:25] <Bytram> I wonder how much of it you still remember?
[02:50:47] <sea> lol, I think I remember almost all of it.
[02:51:55] <Bytram> mission accomplished, then. Still think that was a pretty nasty way of going about it, though.
[02:52:48] <sea> Well, there are other lecturers teaching the same maths courses so if you didn't trust yourself to pass his course, you just waited until another one came around and did theirs instead.
[02:52:50] <arti> safe spaces brand ovens
[02:53:06] <sea> We also had this philosophy professor that was very similar.
[02:54:07] <sea> He basically didn't care at all whether you cheated or not on any test. The final exam was a little slip of paper with 3 difficult philosophical questions, we were to answer any 2 of them. Every student got a different 3 questions.
[02:54:41] <Bytram> one of my comp sci courses used a pascal compiler that the prof had translated to work on our OS... it had bugs and the compiler would sometimes *crash* on valid syntax. Would have to rework the code to get around the compiler bugs, all the while trying to learn the language.
[02:54:41] <sea> It was worth 100% of the grade.
[02:55:18] <arti> nice
[02:55:25] <arti> one does not simply code pascal.
[02:55:35] <Bytram> and what was his philosophy of doing that?
[02:55:43] <arti> if you copy paste code it would break.
[02:55:47] <arti> you had to do it his way or fail
[02:56:16] <chromas> Did you get to modify the compiler source to fix it?
[02:56:43] <Bytram> one of the exercises was to construct a doubly-linked circular list, each of whose nodes was, in itself a doubly-linked circular list.
[02:56:45] <chromas> that was the secret to winning the class
[02:56:47] <Bytram> chromas: nope.
[02:57:07] <chromas> a magic roundabout buffer?
[02:57:52] <Bytram> oh, and one had to be able to insert / delete entries into either the inner or outer loops, and handle creation of new lists, and deletion of last entry in a node list, too.
[02:58:00] <Bytram> chromas: pretty much.
[03:03:55] <sea> Bytram: You could have done that much more easily by mapping a large 2-dimensional rectangle into 1 dimension, and just using a single list instead of all that complicated mess.
[03:04:00] <takyon> kbkbkbj
[03:04:14] <sea> Bytram: You'd have finished the code in 5 minutes flat.
[03:04:58] * Bytram can't type quite that fast, and the whole point of the exercise was to demonstrate that one understood doubly-linked circular lists

[03:06:52] <Bytram> when life takes away your lemonade, go find some lemons. or soemthing like that
[03:07:22] <Bytram> maybe you could substitute melons for the lemons; they ARE spelled similarly
[03:07:29] <cmn32480> when life gives you lemons
[03:07:35] <cmn32480> find a friend with vodka

[03:17:31] * Bytram just realized the super duper lottery thingee was tonight -- wonder when they will announce if there was a winner (or have they done so already)
[03:17:55] <sea> The money will vanish into that person's bank account, and will never emerge ever again.

[03:18:19] <sea> It won't ever go to a charity. It won't ever be invested unless the bank does it for them, and so on, and so on. It'll be completely and utterly wasted.
[03:18:48] <Bytram> Current Estimated Jackpot: $1.5 Billion; $930 million Cash Value
[03:18:55] <chromas> The great thing about money is it can be wasted over and over again
[03:19:51] <Bytram> afk, break
[03:27:09] <cmn32480> the government is proof of that
[03:30:09] <takyon> if there's no winner tonight I might pay the poor tax for sunday's
[03:30:27] <takyon> that's all lottery is, a tax on the poor
[03:32:39] <Bytram> does anyone recall what the prior estimated jackpot was?
[03:32:59] <cmn32480> 1.5Billion if you take the annuity
[03:33:16] <cmn32480> or do you mean from Wednesday?
[03:33:17] <Bytram> that's the CURRENT estimated jackpot, I was wondering about the *PRIOR* one
[03:33:31] <cmn32480> 850-900million
[03:33:36] <cmn32480> a pittance
[03:33:43] -!- BadCoderFinger has quit [Quit: I lost the beer lottery!]
[03:34:08] <Bytram> so, if there is no winner in this drawing, that suggests the new estimated jackpot would be about $2billion?!!?
[03:34:56] <Bytram> http://etymonline.com
[03:34:57] <GravyCheeseFries> ^ 03Online Etymology Dictionary
[03:35:36] <takyon> yeah
[03:35:39] <takyon> probably
[03:37:57] <Bytram> so, if the winner buys the ticket in a state that collects income tax, there's a good chance the state stands to gain pretty nicely, too. Say, 5% income tax, on $930 million (current jackpot's actual cash value) suggests nearly $50 million being added to the states coffers.

[03:41:04] <chromas> Bytram: but they'll get you on the sales tax :D
[03:41:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> TN is a non-income-tax state =P

[03:41:48] * Bytram thinks where's no sales tax on lottery tickets (at least that he knows of)
[03:41:51] <takyon> a few hundred tickets were sold

[03:44:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> nothing wrong with the lottery being a tax on the poor because, and this is important, it's a *voluntary* tax. you know, unlike every other tax.

[03:47:43] <Bytram|away> laters
[03:47:57] <takyon> it's not unvoluntary because the poor have been made stupid by chronic malnutrition
[03:48:01] <takyon> it's the system, man
[03:48:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, the poor were stupid to begin with. that's why they're poor.
[03:49:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean if you got the choice between being poor and not poor and you pick poor, you're pretty damned thick.
[03:49:09] * sea is a poor mathematician.
[03:49:34] <takyon> poor people have lower IQs because of malnutrition and bad parenting
[03:49:48] <takyon> the poverty perpetuates poverty on average
[03:50:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't need iq, need craftiness; wisdom.
[03:50:15] <sea> I challenge that. I think it's the other way around, seriously.
[03:50:33] <sea> I think that poverty makes you smarter, on average.
[03:51:26] <sea> My argument is that people who are poor see education as their way out, and they /value it/. People who have money often spend all of their time playing videogames and in mindless entertainment. People who are poor have to resort to the old fashioned kinds: Books, and studying to get that scholarship which they need so severely.
[03:51:42] <takyon> that's a bunch of crap
[03:51:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> the thing is, rich people know how to be rich. they can impart this information to their children. poor people, by definition, do not know how to be rich and so cannot impart this wisdom. their children have to puzzle it out for themselves.
[03:52:03] <takyon> poor people are likely to have bad upbringing, bad environment, bad peers, bad nutrition
[03:52:15] <takyon> and it doesn't improve
[03:52:25] <sea> It's the truth, however. Poor people don't play the videogames they don't have, and they don't watch the TV they can't afford. They don't waste their time away on the internet they don't have access to, but they do enjoy the countless books that they can get for free second-hand.
[03:52:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> sea, the average poverty-level household has two televisions in the US.
[03:53:02] <sea> Yes, but the USA is a world hotspot for low IQ.
[03:53:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, we get by just fine on that.
[03:53:22] <sea> The USA isn't included in this situation because nothing works normally there. Everywhere else, this poverty-makes-you-smarter situation seems to happen exactly as I've said it.
[03:53:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> necessity is the mother of invention?
[03:54:19] <takyon> we USians are god's chosen people so why wouldn't we talk about the situation in USA
[03:55:03] <sea> Basically, rich people don't /need/ to learn crap or use their brains, and their pastimes are mindless, the kind that money buys. In contrast, poor people /need/ to learn and obtain scholarships, and need to learn to get good jobs. Likewise, their time isn't wasted as much on the mindless entertainment they can't afford.
[03:55:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> god schmod. we're shatner's chosen people. he's canadian and lives here instead because awesome calls to awesome.
[03:55:28] <sea> So the causes are obvious.
[03:55:42] <takyon> that's a naive as shit theory sea
[03:55:58] <takyon> sure, poor people might be a little hardier from poverty, but money gives you incredible advantages
[03:56:00] <takyon> from birth
[03:56:16] <sea> and yet, takyon, the top students at my university are all poor. They got there by scholarship. The rich students, on the other hand, all dropped out.
[03:56:19] <takyon> because if you fuck up the nutrition and education from 0-10 years of age, that has a lifelong effect
[03:56:29] <takyon> COOL ANECDATA BRO
[03:56:40] <sea> takyon: That has been the case for over a decade.
[03:57:27] <takyon> and if our metric is that rich people stay rich and poor people stay poor, remember that capital gains tax is very low
[03:57:40] <takyon> so wealth perpetuates easily even if the people involved are stupid
[03:57:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, pay it and then say that
[03:58:01] <takyon> it's less than income tax
[03:58:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> well hell yes it is
[03:58:29] <arti> just keep taxing it
[03:58:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> it damned well better be since you're having to pay tax on the money twice.

[12:41:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, write a 30 line perl script to do it for you.
[12:41:35] <nick> when you say nothing complex, you deserve that as a suggestion
[12:41:49] <cmn32480> if management needs to get into it, it has to have a GUI.
[12:42:14] <cmn32480> they look at me funny when I tell them to do stuff from the command line.
[12:42:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> management never needs to be actually managing anything. have it output to a webpage.
[12:42:24] <AndyTheAbsurd> Hell, if HID has their API documented, a Perl script isn't a bad idea
[12:42:48] <cmn32480> I'm not sure that HID has their API's documented and available to the public
