[01:20:51] <MDC> vim just went crazy on me
[01:21:07] <MDC> The key mapping is suddenly very different. Do you know what happened?
[01:25:21] -!- emacs [emacs!~confirms@0::1] has joined #Soylent
[01:28:30] <MDC> Hello? Anyone home? It's dark in here, I may be eaten by a grue.
[01:29:51] <MDC> Could I be brain-damaged? Maybe it's user error
[01:29:55] <chromas> all the vim experts must be asleep
[01:30:21] <MDC> Are you implying I should use emacs?
[01:30:26] * chromas uses Word for editing text :D
[01:30:47] <MDC> I use a wrench to pound screws
[01:31:06] <MDC> How is your day?
[01:31:20] <MDC> Maybe this is G-d's way of telling me I shouldn't write code today
[01:32:01] <chromas> doin' okay. Vactioning at my sister's house, modding Factorio with a nephew
[01:32:17] <chromas> TheMightyBuzzard might know something
[01:32:21] <chromas> (ping)
[01:32:48] <chromas> Are you using Debian? Did you check if systemd took over vim functionality?
[01:33:07] <MDC> Heh. No, cygwin under Windows 8.1.
[01:33:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> wut?
[01:33:21] <MDC> If you ask why I don't use Linux, I don't have a good answer for that.
[01:33:32] <MDC> The program I'm writing is meant to work under Linux
[01:33:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> something almost certainly screwed with your .vimrc
[01:33:49] <MDC> Windows is what appears when I turned my box on.
[01:33:56] <MDC> I'll try renaming
[01:33:58] * chromas blames it on PowerShell
[01:34:11] <MDC> Satya wants me to install Win10
[01:34:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> updates shouldn't monkey with config files but sometimes devs are dipshits
[01:34:47] <MDC> It worked fine yesterday. I was offline overnight.
[01:34:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> huh
[01:35:07] <MDC> I suspect my Acer's keyboard is flaky
[01:35:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> could be
[01:35:37] <MDC> I'll try renaming my .vimrc I don't think I have any customizations in it
[01:35:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean your .vimrc ain't gonna change itself
[01:36:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh hell, i just thought my computer was taking a shit on me but it was just cicadas outside
[01:36:39] <MDC> I don't have a .vimrc, but I had a .viminfo
[01:36:59] <MDC> I'll see if I can be more clear as to what happens.
[01:37:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> and you didn't update cygwin yesterday?
[01:37:05] <MDC> No
[01:37:21] <MDC> I'm prone to seizures
[01:37:27] <MDC> Maybe it's me
[01:38:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, i've found if you blame Quebec, you get all the fun of blaming both the french and canada
[01:38:21] <MDC> What is ^F supposed to do? Maybe I'm confused I thought it moved forward on the line
[01:38:45] <MDC> It moves forward in the file. That is surprising to me
[01:39:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> far as i know, nothing. vim doesn't use ctrl-alt-shift-meta-etc much.
[01:40:13] <MDC> Is there a key that moves forward one char? Aside from the right arrow key
[01:40:39] <MDC> I just gave myself a short exam for stroke
[01:40:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> l i think. i haven't used good old vi in a long time
[01:40:59] <MDC> that sounds right.
[01:41:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, l
[01:41:26] <MDC> Now here is a disturbing question - why do I have all the key commands wrong?
[01:41:43] <MDC> I think vim is fine but I'm confused about the keys
[01:41:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> h, j, k, l do your arrow keys if you don't have arrow keys or use vi instead of vim
[01:41:56] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[01:42:13] <MDC> I'll give it another try, be back in a few minutes
[01:43:46] <MDC> vi and vim are two different programs on my box. On some, vi is a link to vim
[01:43:56] <MDC> I was in vi while expecting vim
[01:44:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> that'd do it

[02:03:08] <RandomGuy> Huh. Good to see this #channel hasnt changed much...
[02:03:54] <SirFinkus> lol
[02:04:32] <SirFinkus> it's 90% TheMightyBuzzard going to bed or drinking coffee
[02:05:06] <RandomGuy> Now if somebody would only espouse some extreme libertarian viewpoint, it would be as if I never left...
[02:05:22] <SirFinkus> Runaway1956, you on?
[02:06:18] <Runaway1956> here
[02:06:35] <Runaway1956> ~gday SirFinkus
[02:06:37] <SirFinkus> RandomGuy wants an extreme libertarian viewpoint
[02:06:37] * exec casually piles a bottle of Ubuntu "Epileptic Elephant" on SirFinkus
[02:06:54] <SirFinkus> figured you were the guy for the job ;)
[02:07:29] <Runaway1956> probably not - I'm still trying to wake up - but who, what, when, where, and why?
[02:07:43] <SirFinkus> I dunnno, just some random guy
[02:07:55] <RandomGuy> Runaway... Wasnt that the bot?
[02:08:35] <Runaway1956> I must not be awake, this convo is making no sense . . . Bot?
[02:09:01] <Runaway1956> Be gentle with me, I'm having a hard time making coffee
[02:09:07] <RandomGuy> Its been a while since i was here...
[02:09:29] <RandomGuy> I dont even know if the soylent website still exists
[02:09:41] <SirFinkus> yup
[02:09:41] <Runaway1956> Yeah, of course it's still there
[02:10:23] * Runaway1956 thinks RandomGuy is part of the android botnet reported on by Arthur T.
[02:10:31] <SirFinkus> naw
[02:10:49] <SirFinkus> he's an agent of dice
[02:10:51] <RandomGuy> I could too be a bot
[02:11:02] <Runaway1956> a dice-bot?
[02:11:32] * RandomGuy rolls a d20: 17!
[02:11:53] <SirFinkus> ⚀⚁⚂⚃⚄⚅
[02:13:24] <Runaway1956> ~folding-rank
[02:13:26] <exec> 07501
[02:13:33] <RandomGuy> That was probably a very clever response but here it just looks like gibberish
[02:13:47] <SirFinkus> I really should do that top 500 story submission
[02:14:01] <RandomGuy> (Much like anything I say)
[02:14:12] <SirFinkus> naw, it was shitty
[02:14:19] <SirFinkus> just dice symbols
[02:16:23] <RandomGuy> Unicode has d20 symbols now? I guess its not completely worthless after all
[02:16:43] <SirFinkus> naw, only d6
[02:17:07] <RandomGuy> I stand corrected :-)
[02:17:29] <Runaway1956> 640 k sided dice should be enough for anyone
[02:17:38] <SirFinkus> I'm actually a bit surprised, given that they have a pile of poo one
[02:18:20] <RandomGuy> Just goes to show you that geeks have completely lost control of the internet
[02:18:44] <Runaway1956> D&D'rs are only a small part of even the geek community
[02:18:48] <RandomGuy> I bet there's no monty python characters in there either
[02:19:22] <SirFinkus> they should really focus on getting CJK stuff right before the stupid emoji shit
[02:20:18] <Runaway1956> But, emojis are an importat facet of the intarwebs to a huge segment of the population
[02:20:35] <Runaway1956> mostly, to people who can't spell or comprehend the written language
[02:20:49] <RandomGuy> Bah, like this "chines language" thing would be of use to anyone ;-)
[02:21:51] <SirFinkus> it's more of a problem with any languages that uses chinese characters that isn't chinese
[02:22:08] <RandomGuy> Or anyone trying to type on a mobile device...
[02:22:53] * Runaway1956 has always been frustrated by mobile keyboards keypads
[02:23:04] * Runaway1956 goes about getting ready for work
[02:23:17] <Runaway1956> maybe I'll wake up sometime during this process
[02:23:37] <RandomGuy> If only i could hook up a model m keyboard to an ipad
[02:24:05] <Runaway1956> You could be knows as "Gawd" if you managed that
[02:24:22] <SirFinkus> probably not all that hard tbh
[02:25:24] <Runaway1956> Well, the real trick is to make the model M collapsible, so that it can go in a shirt pocket while not in use
[02:25:45] <RandomGuy> Just get bigger shirt pockets
[02:26:07] <Runaway1956> YES!! YOU ARE GAWD!!
[02:26:12] <RandomGuy> Is that a model m in your pocket or are you happy to see me?
[02:26:42] <RandomGuy> <sigh> its always a model m
[02:27:39] <SirFinkus> there are pills for that you know
[02:28:46] <RandomGuy> Yes,but If your keyboard remains erect for more than four hours, seek medical attention immediately
[02:29:28] <RandomGuy> Once again, that sounded funnier in my head before i actually said it...

[02:43:23] <Runaway1956> has anyone seen my ass?
[02:43:35] <takyon_> check the chair
[02:44:05] <Runaway1956> Damn, it's lying right where I found the empty neosporin, probably fell off when I bent over
[02:44:26] <Runaway1956> This is going to be a shit night at work, I can see that already
[02:45:16] <takyon_> later gator

[03:17:27] <Bytram> it's just one of the benefits of MS slashing their QA department!
[03:17:50] <Bytram> I fyou didn't pay for it, you are the product^w QA department
[03:18:16] <RandomGuy> I prefer to think that they just expanded it to include billions of unpaid "volunteers"
[03:20:21] <RandomGuy> And honestly, i cant really blame windows for committing suicide when a kindle is plugged in either. God knows the same thought crosses my mind when i have to use one of those devices ;-)

[10:44:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, i only agree with about 75% of them. the other 25% are just to wind someone up.

[10:45:37] <Booga1> Ouch. I'd hate to be mentioned by Hillary no matter the context.
[10:46:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> rather be famous for the reasons ron jeremy is famous but i'll take the accolades anyways.

[11:08:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> i take it for its other health benefits though.
[11:09:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> Well, you see, SirFinkus, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
[11:09:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
[11:09:51] <SirFinkus> exactly
[11:09:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> And that, SirFinkus, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

[12:31:38] <Subsentient> FatPhil: Yeah, I love Omnium Gatherum, Dark Tranquillity, and Melodeath in general.
