[20:22:38] <chromas> lol
[20:22:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep. any that don't match my moderations are scored as unfair.
[20:22:25] <chromas> Like, what percentage of my mods agree with the consensus of other modders?
[20:21:57] <chromas> Do you have a script to show mod "fairness"?
[20:21:40] <cmn32480> just not in his use of downmods
[20:21:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> truth
[20:21:15] <cmn32480> sadistic bastard he is
[20:20:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> you did it THREE WHOLE TIMES!

[20:19:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, chromas, yer a showoff. only 1.1321% downmods.

[11:51:24] <Bytram> would ideally have a slot for a [micro]SD card
[11:50:57] <Bytram> is not like I'd want to type a long doc on it, but just having the ability to 'take it with me'... say to do a D/L at a library or something -- that would be useful.

[11:48:14] <Bytram> you don't always get what you pay for (you CAN overpay), but you generally do NOT get what you do not pay for. :P
[11:48:14] <cmn32480> dcurrently, it is the tablet market in a race for the lowest price/quality
[11:47:20] <cmn32480> for a while PC's were headed the same way
[11:46:55] <Bytram> zactly
[11:46:51] <Bytram> thinking back to floppy disks... at first they were rather sturdy and relatively reliable. As time passed, they pushed closer and closer to the limits to max profit... would be lucky if you could read a floppy you'd written a few months before.

[11:45:29] <Bytram> mature process/item -- now they aggressively try to cheapen the manufacturing of it.
[11:44:58] <cmn32480> full size tend to break more frequently for some reason
[11:44:58] <Bytram> understood, but I don't expect TMB to be downloading images all *that* often
[11:44:46] <cmn32480> expecially the adapters from micro to full size adn the like
[11:44:34] <cmn32480> SD cards wear out after a while
[11:44:28] * exec unjustifiably spews a buttcrack of nasty v on bytram
[11:44:27] <cmn32480> ~gday bytram
[11:44:18] * exec carefully crams a buttload of drool into cmn32480
[11:44:16] <Bytram> ~gday cmn32480
[11:44:13] <Bytram> hmm, has never noticed a problem with the [admitedly limited number of] SD cards he's used
[11:43:08] * exec single-handedly pairs a set of secret sauce with TheMightyBackpain

[11:40:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> generally mine die even if sitting around not being used in under five years.
[11:38:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> i could add a 2GB sd card to the cell modem attachment and store things in it but i am not impressed with the longevity of sd cards
[11:36:32] <Bytram> hrrm... you don't have enough room for a backup/second copy of the firmware? That sounds like a no-go to overly-paranoid me
[11:32:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> sounds reasonable but here's the problem... i'm gonna need to know if it's a valid file BEFORE i write it because the only place to put it is over top of where the currently running program is stored.
[11:31:35] <Bytram> most checksums I know work on a stream of bytes -- but I could well be mistaken... cf: CRC-32
[11:30:43] <Bytram> save the 'maybe-update' to a file, gets() and do a running checksum 'til end. if checksum matches, then use the 'maybe-update' ??
[11:21:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight, gotta teach myself how to read/write the flash on an arduino this morning. then figure out how to set up a checksum for updates when there's no way in hell you can fit the update entirely in ram to calculate the checksum.
[11:19:24] <FatPhil> basically french and german
[11:19:12] <FatPhil> there's a limited subset of latin-1 I will tolerate, basically accents on languages that I was familiar with since childhood.
[11:18:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, yeah
[11:18:27] <FatPhil> for me at home - fuck it, I'm ASCII 99.9% of the time
[11:18:08] <FatPhil> for something out there in the world, unicode and utf-8 are the only way to do antyhing nowadays
[11:17:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> that way it's no longer mixed at least
[11:17:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> i find it easier to go the other way for rehash
[11:17:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahhhh, roger.
[11:17:12] <FatPhil> And being an anti-unicode nutter, I'm trying to canonicalise utf-8 to latin-1 where possible.
[11:17:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's no prollem for perl generally
[11:16:27] <FatPhil> I'm trying to scrape some webpages that have both latin-1 and utf-8 on them :(
[11:15:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahhh, regex testing. gotcha.
[11:15:38] <FatPhil> die is basically a substitution for print, I just wanted to know if it matched or not
[11:14:36] <FatPhil> because reasons
[11:14:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> why are you asking it to die if a string literal matches a regex that matches it though?
[11:14:26] <FatPhil> I was looking for yaml-escaped utf8 for characters which are in the latin-1 range
[11:13:54] <FatPhil> the first [0-9A-F] was unwanted
[11:13:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> it should exit, however.
[11:13:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> or rather it shouldn't. unless not if.
[11:12:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, yes, it should die.
[11:03:14] <FatPhil> I'm derp
[11:03:01] <FatPhil> perl -e 'die unless q{\xC3\xA9} =~ m/\\xC[23][0-9A-F]\\x[89AB][0-9A-F]/i'
[11:02:34] <FatPhil> arse
[11:02:31] <FatPhil> Am I derp, or should this really die: perl -e 'die unless q{\xC3\xA9} =~ m/\\xC[23][0-9A-F]\
[11:01:19] <FatPhil> just wrap yourself up with lots of layers of clingfilm. If anyone asks, you can say you're losing weight whilst fishing, you saw it on QVC

[11:00:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't have one. reckon a bbq apron would do?

[10:45:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> damnit. just realized a hurt back means no fishing.
