[10:01:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> excellent. i'm goin fishin later
[10:05:12] <soy673> fishing for evidence
[10:10:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, definitely for catfish. they taste better unless it's evidence of a meat counter robbery at a butcher's place.
[10:12:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> cleaning up MrPlow's code this morning. turning all the warnings back on for starters.
[10:12:43] <soy673> who cares about warnings, it compiles :)
[10:13:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'true but it also has bugs.
[10:13:55] <soy673> who cares about bugs, it runs, AGILE
[10:14:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> one bug i wish it'd warn me about next time i do it is thinking i'm taking a character range from a string when i'm really asking for bytes and then trying to convert them to characters.
[10:15:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> grab half a unicode character like that and boom goes the dynamite
[10:16:16] <soy673> dynamically typed?
[10:16:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> statically

[10:17:31] <exec> welcome n1: Montevideo, Montevideo Department, Uruguay, 13°C/56°F, 7:17 am GMT-3, Thursday, 13 April 2017
[10:17:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> but the String and str types both have range selectors like varname[0..6] that return the first six bytes as characters.
[10:17:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup. you can even write C libraries with it.
[10:18:26] <soy673> I like perl very much for example, but it is a pain to write xsubs
[10:18:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> or libraries nobody can tell from C anyway.
[10:18:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> well yeah. have you tried the FFI::platypus module?
[10:19:05] <soy673> I should take a look
[10:19:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> absosmurfly. it's much easier than xsubs.
[10:19:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> not as bulletproof but very handy.
[10:19:45] <soy673> as long as it doesn't lock me into a particular build system
[10:20:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> wait, what? for perl?
[10:20:32] <soy673> yeah, the funny xsubs and Makefile.PL stuff
[10:20:38] <soy673> I like my autotools

[10:21:32] -!- nick has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[10:22:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> i tried it out a week or three ago. doesn't currently play nicely with rust .so libs.
[10:22:27] <soy673> any idea why is that?
[10:22:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> couldn't tell if that was my rust code or platypus
[10:23:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think it was platypus though. it was having issues passing C strings to the .so
[10:24:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> null terminated character array pointers that is
[10:24:32] <soy673> yeah, somebody probably screwed up the string memory allocation
[10:25:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> mind you, i'm not entirely certain i was doing everything right. i was going from perl code to rust code using C data.
[10:25:46] <soy673> who "owns" the memory occupied by the string?
[10:26:26] <soy673> or is it a direct reference?
[10:26:36] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[10:26:47] <soy673> strings are hard
[10:27:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> pointers shouldn't be. at least for reading.
[10:27:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> i could get it passing strings from the rust .so to the perl interpreter just fine. it was just a pain passing them the other way.
[10:28:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean all yer really doing is passing a pointer.

[10:29:40] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 360
[10:29:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> so, i see we've come full circle
[10:38:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> might have had something to do with me passing a struct pointer instead of a more primitive data type as well
[10:39:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> never half-ass something you can fully ass, i always say.

[11:45:50] <cmn32480> how goes tigns today?
[11:46:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> pretty good. got all the coding i really wanted done today accomplished already
[11:46:19] <cmn32480> nice
[11:46:21] <cmn32480> go for the extended goal
[11:46:37] <cmn32480> an afternoon spent fooshing
[11:47:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> that was the plan, indeed
[11:47:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> pondering some quality vidya time until then
[11:47:31] * cmn32480 is able to read your mind... but not your code
[11:48:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's just as well. reading my code is like spending a long weekend chillin at cthulu's place.
[11:49:26] <cmn32480> yeah
[11:49:38] <cmn32480> plus I don't speak l33t
[11:49:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> wonder if bing can translate to l33t
[11:50:18] <cmn32480> unknown...
[11:50:30] <cmn32480> it does a half decent job with Klingon... so maybe
[11:51:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, wish the serious trek nerds would put some more work into the translation db
[11:52:25] <cmn32480> that means they'd be helping MS or Google.. and we can't ahve that
[11:53:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya but they'd be helpin me too, which is all that matters really.

[18:07:47] <n1> and the internet has a collective orgasm on the news that Tesla will unveil a semi truck in september
[18:09:39] <chromas> Would that be any good?
[18:09:45] <chromas> Maybe it if were diesel-electric
[18:09:50] <swiss> i dunno how they're going to do it all-electric
[18:09:55] <swiss> but if they can, cool
[18:10:59] <mechanicjay> Takes a lot of power to move 80,000 lbs. Will be interesting to see.
[18:12:25] <n1> among many things on Tesla, i wonder how the supply of lithium is going to survive all the ever increasing millions of vehicles tesla wants to make in the next few years.
[18:12:37] <n1> along with all the other demand for lithium batteries
[18:15:03] <cmn32480> and psycho meds
[18:15:14] <n1> i mean we obviously can't shake up the energy industry without replacing a range of rare resources with one or two other rare resources, that would be silly.
[18:15:37] <chromas> we don't need no stinkin' batteries
[18:15:49] <chromas> just use solar. it works for floating skyscrapers
[18:15:51] <chromas> http://www.cnn.com

[18:15:53] <exec> └─ 13This skyscraper is literally out of this world - CNN.com
[18:16:30] <n1> but on the plus side, i guess the model 3 is ready now since Telsa is now focusing on the model y, new roadster, semi and apparently a pickup truck
[18:17:03] <cmn32480> methinks we need new battery tech to offset the elecrtric car market
[18:17:41] <chromas> It's been awhile since I've seen a "promising new tech that will give us 10x battery life" article
[18:17:55] <n1> i would think so too, but then TSLA would have to spend even more money to build new factories for new battery tech
[18:18:25] <cmn32480> chromas - we'll merge it with a graphene article just to give you your fix
[18:18:28] <n1> but all these are great reasons for TSLA to become the biggest company in the world, while never making any money, too busy innovating and being the cool kid to worry about being a business
[18:18:52] <chromas> oh thanks man. gettin' the withdrawal itchies over here
[18:18:57] <cmn32480> right up until the share holders require a short term profit
[18:19:20] <n1> they're happy with the stock price going up because musk sneezed
[18:19:57] <cmn32480> true
[18:20:07] <n1> ive read enough articles and comments from TSLA investors who are 'it's about the vision'
[18:20:53] <n1> what was the story the other day, they're now the biggest automaker in the US or some shit now, according to market cap
[18:21:17] <n1> and they made like 80,000 cars
[18:22:43] <n1> but of course TSLA isn't just a car company, they're whatever you want it to be
[18:22:54] <cmn32480> light
[18:22:55] <cmn32480> power

[18:24:25] <n1> i read an article somewhere about TSLA being a transport company
[18:24:36] <cmn32480> 3PL!
[18:24:54] <n1> if i recall it's because of how they want to let your tesla be a taxi when you're not using it
[18:25:14] <cmn32480> rocket builders
[18:25:18] <n1> and probably because of the innovative way they'll eventually sell those semi-trucks, and they'll eventually drive themselves and all that jazz
[18:26:08] <n1> space-x doesn't count... the probably profitable business with the gov contracts from musk that isn't publicly traded
[18:26:24] <cmn32480> good point
[18:28:28] <n1> on the other enterprises, i wonder what OpenAI is up to
