[07:36:13] <FatPhil> RIP Stephen Hawking indeed.
[07:37:25] <janrinok> sad news - but he has done well for a man who was given 2 years to live in 1964!
[07:39:55] <janrinok> quote from the BBC, paraphrased - "His Brief History of Time was a best seller, selling more that 16 million copies, although it is said that far fewer actually read the book, and it was understood by fewer still!"

[08:13:28] <FatPhil> I had an issue with the mathematical physics in the book, I think chapter 7 had an error.
[08:14:30] <FatPhil> I reread it a few years later with a fresh mind, and again, chapter 7 had an erronious assumption I couldn't get past.

[12:42:34] <boru> I never did get portage's over-zealous dep tree handling.
[12:42:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> why i picked it for the dev vm i'm not sure.
[12:42:52] <boru> BSD ports only very rarely requires that sort of rebuild.
[12:43:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh they switched build profiles since the last time i monkeyed with it or i wouldn't have near such an issue.
[12:43:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> went from gcc 4.x to gcc 6.x
[12:44:43] <boru> Probably glibc shite.
[12:45:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> i expect something along them lines
[12:45:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> ain't a common occurrence on gentoo either but it's one i gotta deal with today since i ain't touched the vm in most of a year.

[15:49:24] <AndyTheAbsurd> nicotine is an addictive, poisonous substance.
[15:49:53] <fyngyrz> Women too
[15:49:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> Of course, so is alcohol.
[15:50:22] <fyngyrz> But I've been addicted most of my life
[15:50:27] <AndyTheAbsurd> Women aren't poisonous, you can eat them and not die. :)
[15:50:37] <fyngyrz> Oh, it'll kill you eventually
[15:50:38] <AndyTheAbsurd> Some of them, however, are definitely venomous.
[15:51:01] <fyngyrz> it's indirect - stress related - but deadly
[15:51:37] <fyngyrz> They're all venomous. The question is more whether they decide to demonstrate that to you in particular
[15:52:04] <fyngyrz> Mine's been kind to me for 20+ years. But to others? Holy crap.
[15:57:45] <fyngyrz> inebriation... infatuation... excoriation... exsanguination... ex. Rinse and repeat. :)
[15:58:40] <fyngyrz> But you don't want to hear about my 2nd marriage, lol
[15:58:40] <AndyTheAbsurd> oh good, draw (number of copies printed) for my employer's main publication is up ~3,000 units compared to two years ago.
[15:59:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> Hopefully that means the circulation is up similarly.
[15:59:31] <fyngyrz> better than indications in the other direction
[16:01:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> well, it's down ~23,000 from one year ago. But we also bought out our competitor, and spent a bit over a year bleeding away their susbscribers, so it's the 2-years-ago comparison that matters.
[16:01:36] <fyngyrz> what kind of publication is this?
[16:01:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> A newspaper.
[16:02:34] <fyngyrz> big one?
[16:02:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> The main product is the Tampa Bay Times, a traditional, 7-days-a-week, delivered to your front porch type of newspaper.
[16:02:56] <fyngyrz> ah. Used to live in FL
[16:03:37] <fyngyrz> The demographic there has enough older folks that traditional media would seem to have at least a little bit of a natural fit
[16:05:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, so you guys bought out a paper serving a different demographic then stopped selling to that demographic?
[16:05:35] * TheMightyBuzzard scratches his head
[16:05:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> selling more stuff is gooder than selling less stuff, no?

[16:07:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> The Tribune had a much more conservative bent, so the far-right blowhards immediately cancelled and the folks that were less far right, or blew less hard, just let their subscriptions expire.
[16:07:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> But we're not just selling newspapers, we're also selling advertising in the newspaper - so without having a competitor paper, we can actually charge higher rates.
[16:08:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> if i were a baker, i'd set up a no-fags-allowed bakery and a SJW bakery a couple doors down from each other.
[16:08:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> I don't normally talk to the finance or advertising folks, so I'm not sure how the math on that actually ended up working out.
[16:08:58] <chromas> Agreed. Sell to the blowhards. They buy shit too and need advertised at
[16:09:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'all about the benjamins, baby

[16:11:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> i used to code to it until i figured out i code twice as well/quickly to silence.
[16:15:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> would yall read a license plate what said "IS❤ED" as "is loved" or "i sharted"?
[16:15:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> keeping in mind that both are technically simultaneously possible
[16:16:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> why not revel in the ambiguity?
[16:16:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> But I think if I wanted it to be read "is loved" I'd get "IS ❤D"
