[23:48:00] -!- TheMightyChickadee has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[23:18:55] <TheMightyChickadee> More like four in 5 minutes. Then reversed, but two came back immediately? I am getting the idea someone does not like me, and they have sockpuppets.
[23:16:37] <AzumaHazuki> if the dept.- line isn't something along the lines of "awrgh-ragh-gagth-wargh-*pbbbt!*" on that story about the tasmanian devils someone missed a good chance =p
[23:13:52] <FatPhil> 2 downmods in the space of several days - how much of a snowflake are you?
[23:11:42] <FatPhil> Pffft, looks like you're a whinging whinger.
[23:03:56] <TheMightyChickadee> Fairly new member. All my posts down-modded in a matter of minutes. Not sure why.
[23:02:58] <Fnord666> anyway, mods have been reversed due to mod-bomb
[23:02:35] <Fnord666> Is it a day ending in 'Y'?
[23:01:59] <FatPhil> Did you post something retarded?

[22:28:15] <chromas> on the plus side, js means there's a nice api to grab all you need via script
[22:27:10] <chromas> You still need to do it 23 more times
[22:26:19] <FatPhil> chromas: are you chanelling me? just earlier I was going to rant about our bank, which now serves a totally blank page unless you run JS. Decided not to, as I've done it 1000 times already.

[21:30:06] <bacterium> no wait
[21:29:53] <chromas> the trick is to eat it raw to increase the density. you can pop it after it's in

[21:29:07] <chromas> which is worse? donald jenus trump, or empty webpages that require js to load the content?
[21:28:13] <bacterium> he's for the history books... mmm interactive web pages, donny boy
[21:27:57] <chromas> they'll just have russia 9/11 trump tower and live off the insurance at epstein island
[21:27:37] <bacterium> i do; i was only even following the federal politics last 4 years because the character of trump got me eyeballs superglued to teh screen
[21:26:56] <AzumaHazuki> maybe they can all rip each other to shreds, then charter a bus to Hell and save some money on the carfare
[21:26:40] <chromas> who's still talking about trumps? they're out. nobody cares anymore
[21:26:03] <bacterium> sorry, just thinking outloud about the rat race in trump tower

[16:23:17] <requerdanos> That fits with the "mess up as much as possible" mindset clearly running the joint.
[16:15:02] <inz> Reading the backround story about user database ownership, gdpr and somesuch, I suspect that the goal is to get monetizable user db afterwards
[16:14:46] <requerdanos> I just haven't been back. Most of the channels I visit moved pretty early in the devolution and I didn't see a need.
[16:14:09] <inz> I chose not to register after the db drop
[16:03:40] <Runaway1956> Mostly the same here, FatPhil - one chan is stubbornly resisting the move though
[16:03:11] <FatPhil> all the chans I was on migrated off freenode the same day, so there's no need for me to be on it any more.
[15:59:08] <Runaway1956> When I attempted to login minutes ago, I wasn't recognized as a registered user
[15:57:49] <Runaway1956> Yes, it just happened again, see time stamps in my copy/paste
[15:57:26] <requerdanos> this was covered on SN as "freenode commits suicide" -- unless they have for some reason done the same thing twice

[09:35:58] <inz> FatPhil, are you trying to irk mee with that question?
[09:30:00] <Runaway1956> #submit https://physicstoday.scitation.org
[09:12:35] <Runaway1956> I hadn't

[09:07:28] <FatPhil> is that 'irk' or 'eye-are-sea'?
[09:01:54] <inz> I only communicate via irc, so pronunciation don't matter one bit.
[09:00:21] <Ingar> PAY-DAY-EFF
[08:59:39] <Ingar> I pronounce all file extensions dutch style, screw pronounciation wars
[08:58:51] <inz> problem solved.
[08:54:13] <FatPhil> Perhaps they should have been less blinkered with regards to how letters are pronounced. Perhaps the 'JIF' could have been influenced by Spanish pronunciation, so /hif/, and GIF influenced by Greek/Russian pronunciation, so /hif/.
[08:52:16] <FatPhil> maybe they'd have got it right?
[08:00:57] <inz> I wonder what would have happened to the gif pronunciation wars, if the jpeg file extension was chosen from the first file format, JIF
[07:53:55] <FatPhil> Yup, JPEG arrived with TIFF 6.0 spec, I remember the proposals for that before it became standardised.
[07:51:31] <inz> And it is what is pretty much used for jpegs for decades now
[07:51:10] <inz> EXIF is full file format, somewhat resembling JFIF, but not compatible
[07:46:51] <Ingar> a lot of software also doesn't really like multipage TIFF
[07:45:10] <Ingar> afaik EXIF is just extensions
[07:44:49] <inz> Or is it nowadays in EXIF, whatever.
[07:43:56] * Ingar hands inz the pedantic monday award :p
[07:43:00] <Ingar> (I'm in the document scanning business)
[07:42:58] <inz> Also JPEG is mostly a comperssion algorithm, usually contained in a JFIF
[07:42:42] <Ingar> I sometimes handle multi-100Mb TIFFs if the client is stupid enough to ask for them
[07:41:59] <Ingar> TIFF is mostly a container format. eg color TIFF is usually JPEG

[06:44:53] <FatPhil> also permitted tiled compression, so if you knew you only wanted a subset of the image, you could just decompress the relevant tiles, which was useful.
[06:29:45] <FatPhil> progo: TIFF permitted multiple images at different resoltions, IIRC. I used to deal with ~12k*8k TIFF images back in the early 90s, that was fun.

[01:04:35] <progo> anyone ever tried to write software for Atari 2600? I watched a video that laid out what is "racing the beam" in about 30 minutes, earlier today. it's really scary. you can make simple dumb games that won't sell, in a few days. to learn how to make games like Activision, I think you have to be clinically insane.
[01:00:36] <progo> aren't there image files formats with detail laid out in layers so that you can render any zoom level at a decent speed?
[01:00:03] <progo> uhm… don't open the TIFF or Jpeg
