[01:59:34] <Bytram> chromas: I dunno, but you do have a point. The name "Peter DeFazio" does look suspicious.

[08:43:25] <FatPhil> news? as in usenet? don't make me laugh!!!!!
[08:43:33] <FatPhil> emacs GNUS for that, obviously!
[08:44:21] <chromas> I'm sorry but no. Richard Stallman has explicitly stated puns aren't allowed. You have to pronounce the "g" like a three-year-old.

[08:49:14] <chromas> Well winter started late last year, so the weather's just trying to equalize
[08:51:31] <FatPhil> I presume you traditionally get a lot of the continental weather, large pockets of air coming down from Canada every so often?

[11:55:25] * chromas hunts for some nome jifs
[12:24:54] <FatPhil> so, wait a dziffie, how am I supposed to pronounce jnome now?
[12:25:25] <FatPhil> chromas: don't use jifs, use gaypegs
[12:25:59] <chromas> I remember some system that used jiffies as time units but I don't remember what it was

[12:26:43] <Bender> Added quote 945
[12:28:41] * chromas considers switching to genome 3
[12:43:09] <FatPhil> chromas: jiffies is the linux kernel unit of time
[12:45:30] <FatPhil> May have dabbled a bit with jiffies in my time... http://lkml.iu.edu
[12:45:30] <systemd> ^ 03Linux-Kernel Archive: [PATCHv3 0/4] Improve fallback LPJ calculation
[12:45:40] <chromas> ah
[12:48:41] <chromas> Explaining what the code does? That doesn't seem right
[12:48:58] <chromas> I'm pretty sure you're just supposed to put a couple inappropriate comments in the source and call it a day
[12:51:07] <FatPhil> // Increment the variable 'i' by one
[12:58:20] <FatPhil> ooooh, case number 3 in town. same flight from italy as case #2
[12:58:57] <FatPhil> Can't we just nuke Italy from orbit? It seems like the simple solution to so many problems.

[13:08:01] <systemd> https://en.wikipedia.org(time) - Jiffy (time) - Wikipedia
[13:11:05] <Bytram> Learn something new every day. I was familiar with the 1/60th of a second meaning of a Jiffy. I had worked at Stratus for a while, but somehow their definition never seemed to come up in my work... or, if it did, I have since forgotten it!
[13:11:17] <Bytram> Thanks for that!

[20:08:36] <FatPhil> 5 new cases in Estonia, all of them from Lombardy.
[20:09:06] <FatPhil> I just hope they weren't the group I gave directions to, touching their phone map, a few days ago.
[20:19:56] <chromas> FatPhil could be our infected. Another first!
[20:20:46] <chromas> You're getting all kinds of rewards this week
[20:23:13] <FatPhil> I am so privileged.
[20:23:47] <FatPhil> The town is looking a bit like a ghost-town, because it's so tourism dominated.
[20:24:56] <FatPhil> I think a lot of restaurants/pubs/clubs are going to suffer terrible cash-flow issues.
[20:25:23] <FatPhil> something closes once a week near me anyway, this could be a big cull.
