[19:39:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> :1,$s/\t/ /g
[19:40:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> shit wrong terminal
[19:40:31] <AndyTheAbsurd> that was intended for one that has vim open currently (not like you couldn't tell)
[19:40:39] <boru> :retab
[19:40:46] <boru> Unless you're using KNF.
[19:41:08] <boru> Oh, nevermind, I see what you were doing.
[19:41:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> I was replacing tabs with four spaces, for the entire file.
[19:41:59] <AndyTheAbsurd> Because fuck indenting with tabs. (Or worse, a mix of tabs and spaces.)
[19:42:08] <boru> If your tabstop is 4, :retab will do that.
[19:42:27] <boru> Yeah, I roast people for that at work, more often than I should have to.
[19:42:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> my tabstop is 8, as God intended.
[19:42:42] <boru> You are a monster.
[19:42:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> yup
[19:43:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> and you're supposed to be working on Pale Moon on BSD stuff.
[19:43:30] * boru chuckles.
[19:43:44] <boru> Quite right.
[19:44:08] <boru> Plugins might get fixed this month.
[19:46:50] <boru> It'd be therapeutic, almost. I spent most of today chasing a bus error caused by a misbehaving peripheral hardware state machine. 8 litres of coffee and several employee fatalities later, I think I've narrowed it down.
[19:48:02] -!- saxdm has quit []
[19:48:42] <boru> One picosecond of hardware simulation every minute or so.
[19:49:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> sounds awful
[19:49:40] <boru> I oft wonder these last few months why on Earth I left aerospace for semiconductors...
[19:49:55] <boru> It is a terribly unrewarding industry.
[19:50:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> for the filthy lucre, of course!
[19:50:50] * AndyTheAbsurd suspects the money in aerospace is actually much filthier, especially if you were working for a US gov't contractor
[19:51:39] <boru> Yeah, contractor is good, directly for the government is not. Same as this side of the pond, really.
[19:52:20] <boru> e.g. ESA run very public-sector like, whereas they subcontract a lot, and there's money to be made there.
[19:52:31] <boru> I worked for an ESA contractor in my last gig.
[19:53:12] <boru> Alas, they wanted to up and leave to the US from Ireland to amalgamate their R&D offices.
[19:53:48] <boru> To Florida, of all places.
[19:54:09] <AndyTheAbsurd> you coulda been my neighbor!
[19:54:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> (not really, I'm on the other coast of Florida from where the launches happen)
[19:54:45] <boru> Aye, this place was in Orlando, not too far from the CREOL (sp?) institute.
[19:54:55] <boru> Whatever that optics/photonics place is called.
[19:55:45] <AndyTheAbsurd> Oh, that's actually closer to me than I expected - I figured they'd want you in/near Titusville, which is the closest town to the launch complex at Kennedy Space Center.
[19:56:12] <boru> Drop towers were more important than launchers, it seems.
[19:56:25] <boru> We did some work on launchers, but most of the stuff was LEO/MEO.
[19:56:53] * boru has not one, but two, easter eggs in LEO.
[19:59:34] -!- janrinok has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[20:00:23] <boru> Anyway, I'm digressing. More PM work Soon™.
[20:00:40] <boru> Audio doesn't work yet, either.
[20:02:45] <boru> I've written a port file, as well, for the sake of more easily generating a working mozconfig file, so it should just be a case of committing that and keeping it spinning in a poudriere jail.
[20:04:31] * systemd waits to be ported too

[20:59:12] <boru> No.
[21:04:01] <NCommander> I just installed a firmware update on my monitor. I can't decide if this is progress or not
[21:04:14] <boru> Good grief.
[21:04:24] <boru> What is it? UEFI?
[21:04:43] <boru> PXE?
[21:04:45] <NCommander> No idea, but I needed it to fix the color balance
[21:05:01] <boru> It's probably running a web server.
[21:05:01] <paulej72> hola soylent
[21:05:07] <paulej72> como estas
[21:05:58] <paulej72> Why does a monitor need a firmware update anyways?
[21:06:24] <NCommander> I have no idea
[21:06:44] <paulej72> too much smarts in a dumb output device
[21:07:00] <NCommander> I have to do some serious black magic to get X work with two non-matchign GPUs
[21:07:26] <cmn32480> paulej72 - just fired a guy who has worked here less than a week
[21:07:39] * cmn32480 needs a vacation
[21:07:42] <NCommander> cmn32480, you hiring?
[21:07:47] <boru> New gen X sure is a mess. Optimus, for example, is great fun.
[21:07:48] <paulej72> doesn't nkow wireless?
[21:08:13] <paulej72> better sooner than later :)
[21:08:17] <NCommander> boru, I just downloaded the source code to CDE because at this fucking point I'm ready to go back a decade in time
[21:08:45] <paulej72> can you run cde on xenix?
[21:08:46] <cmn32480> NCommander - same job description I had sent you a while back
[21:08:55] <NCommander> cmn32480, you sent me a job description?
[21:09:03] * NCommander doesn't remember ... :/
[21:09:10] * cmn32480 is pretty sure I did...
[21:09:12] <paulej72> XD
[21:09:16] * cmn32480 checks his SN email
[21:09:32] * boru chuckles.
[21:09:40] * paulej72 thinks the postion may still be open
[21:09:50] <NCommander> which one?
[21:09:53] * NCommander blinks
[21:09:55] <NCommander> so lost
[21:10:03] * NCommander looks up how to compile CDE
[21:10:06] <NCommander> Time to embrace the motif
[21:10:12] <boru> Good times.
[21:10:17] <cmn32480> ncommander@sn.org?
[21:10:23] <cmn32480> or mcasdevall
[21:10:24] <NCommander> mcasadevall@soylentnews.org
[21:10:29] <boru> I think the only motif program I still use is XEphem.
[21:10:31] <paulej72> used some HPUX with CDE
[21:10:46] <NCommander> paulej72, it was fairly ugly out of the box but usable
[21:10:47] <boru> Needs some pa-risc.
[21:10:49] <paulej72> did some sys admin on it
[21:11:11] <cmn32480> in yer inbox NC
[21:11:44] <NCommander> cmn32480, no email ...
[21:12:16] * cmn32480 spelled soylentnews wrong...
[21:12:17] <paulej72> Our C160 shit the bricks on day, we pulled the drive and put it in the C110. It had a different video card, It took foever to get it to use the correct output. The documentation sucked
[21:12:22] * cmn32480 bangs head on desk
[21:12:25] <NCommander> :)
[21:12:38] * paulej72 hands cmn32480 a helmet
[21:13:00] * cmn32480 greatfully accepts
[21:13:36] <paulej72> one of the ones with built in air bags
[21:13:47] <cmn32480> bless you my son
[21:13:47] <paulej72> just in case
[21:13:53] <NCommander> cmn32480, CV sent, let's discuss further
[21:14:03] <cmn32480> NCommander - no return this time... I think I spelled it all correctly
[21:14:31] <cmn32480> which address?
[21:14:39] <cmn32480> sN I assume
[21:14:41] <NCommander> cmn32480, its' taking its sweet time sending
[21:14:48] <NCommander> I think beryllium is having issues
[21:14:49] <cmn32480> 27 page cv?
[21:14:50] <NCommander> what else is new
[21:15:40] <NCommander> cmn32480, SMTP issues, you should have it as a GPG signed email
[21:15:44] <paulej72> ext4 sucks ass as it can only do 16TB
[21:16:10] <Deucalion> lol - You know only the summary or first page gets looked at right :D
[21:16:25] <cmn32480> I think NCommanders CV is bigger than that... given his diarrhea of the keyboard
[21:16:37] <NCommander> It's only three pages, and it's typeset
[21:16:43] <paulej72> no they run it though a spell checker and if it catches anything it goes to file 13
[21:16:46] * NCommander took the cover letter off
[21:16:56] <cmn32480> "You've got Mail!"
[21:18:31] <cmn32480> NCommander - PM?
[21:18:35] <NCommander> cmn32480, go for it
[22:25:31] <paulej72> OK I got domain tags working on Dev
