[01:28:20] <systemd> ^ 03Judge conditionally approves plan to dissolve OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma
[01:28:42] <AzumaHazuki> shit...
[01:29:44] <tedious> Nobody goes to jail for the murder of a million americans.
[01:30:09] <t3> if you kill one, you're a murderer, kill a million, you're a hero, right?

[06:23:51] <FatPhil> have you seen the John Oliver segments on Perdue?
[06:57:26] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Startup Ventana Micro Systems Plans to Make RISC-V Server Processors - https://sylnt.us - just-a-little-RISCy
[07:00:14] <boru> The concept of risc-v is cool, but man, that ISA needs some work. It's a classic example of when you have a bunch of hardware engineers design an ISA without talking to any softies. The design is rife with missed opportunities and poor ideas. Even in the microprocessor subset.
[07:01:23] <chromas> sounds like it'll take off then
[07:01:39] <boru> I hope it will go somewhere, though, either way. ARM are about to lose their weight to ARM China by the looks of it, and if a riscv fab can capitalise on the power saving strategies delivered to ARM by their licencees, then ARM is toast.
[07:02:18] <boru> Riscv has been in a state of limbo since launch.
[07:02:32] <boru> There is silicon taped out that adheres to standards which haven't been ratified yet.
[07:02:34] <AzumaHazuki> man the entire planet's shaking itself apart...
[07:03:13] <boru> Figuratively and literally, yes.
[07:06:56] <FatPhil> literarily
[07:07:27] <boru> Metametaphorically.
[07:07:29] <FatPhil> good fucking morning fuckers, I hope your day's better than mine.
[07:07:41] <boru> Shut up, you grumpy shite.
[07:07:54] <FatPhil> ahhh, let's have a beer sometime
[07:08:19] <boru> Aye, next time you're out this way, we'll hit the beer halls.
[07:08:20] * chromas initiates beer-to-beer protocol
[07:08:24] <FatPhil> but not today, I have a beer festival to goto
[07:08:46] <chromas> "No time for a beer; I've got beer to attend to!"
[07:09:23] <FatPhil> in a different town on the other side of the country, and the fucking website for the train company serves no data on their website that's useful.
[07:09:28] <boru> Good epitaph, chromas.
[07:10:00] <boru> You're on beer time; you'll get there when you get there.
[07:10:24] <FatPhil> from memory the trains are every 2 hours, it would be bad to miss one
[07:10:48] <boru> It's a bit like that station in the book Metro 2033 with the broken clock, where everyone has their own time.
[07:11:36] <boru> That's a rather annoying interval.
[07:12:22] <chromas> Bring some beer just in case you miss it
[07:12:54] <boru> Please don't. Train drinkers are obnoxious.
[07:13:26] <FatPhil> probably most drinkers are obnoxious, that's why we isolate me
[07:13:41] <FatPhil> them
[07:13:43] <FatPhil> them,
[07:13:52] <FatPhil> obviosly I meant them
[07:13:58] <boru> They have buildings where drinkers can drink together for a reason.
[07:14:09] <chromas> you don't drink on the train...only when you miss it and half to weight for the next won
[07:15:06] <FatPhil> one of our clients is in bamberg - we do have 3 new Schlenkerla beers, 2 of which are non-alcoholic!
[07:15:30] <FatPhil> so we can do LA/NA on the train
[07:15:33] <boru> Nice town.
[07:15:47] <FatPhil> never been, still part of the plan...
[07:17:04] <boru> Less touristy than some of the other towns in Franconia.
[07:17:09] <boru> Tough dialect, though.
[07:17:25] <FatPhil> Was I the only one who didn't know that Steve Weinberg died in July?
[07:18:44] <inz> No, I didn't know who he was until I googled him.
[07:19:41] <boru> It's a bit like when Dennis Ritchie died; it was probably overshadowed by some talentless celebrity's death.
[07:20:40] <FatPhil> He's the kinda guy that would prove, had he not received one, tha the Nobels are a farce. However, he did receive one, with Abdus Salam, for the unification of EM with the weak nuclear force. So all is good.
[07:22:27] <FatPhil> I might add that the two derivations of the unification were independent.

[09:36:22] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - The FTC is Investigating Why McDonald’s McFlurry Machines are "Always Broken" - https://sylnt.us - right-to-repair
[09:37:51] <FatPhil> alright, smart people, I have a question for you...
[09:38:09] <janrinok> I don't qualify - but go on.....
[09:39:00] <FatPhil> what's the sed command that will print all lines including and after a particular pattern, continuing whilst the lines end with a backslash, and then stopping
[09:39:56] <janrinok> have you started on the beers yet or not...?
[09:40:50] <FatPhil> There was a representative from one of my favourite breweries in Poland in the pub last night... It was a long night...
[09:40:59] <janrinok> lol
[09:41:19] <FatPhil> It's past lunch already, and I'm still not sober enough to drive a car
[09:41:59] <janrinok> I've not had a night like that for a long time.... Great nights but the following day less so
[09:42:03] <FatPhil> Fortunately I'm taking the train to Tartu for the beer festival
[09:42:37] <janrinok> I suspect a heavy weekend will follow for you
[09:43:15] <FatPhil> Yup. Last time I looked, I still had some liver left. Must do something about that.
[09:44:12] <FatPhil> SHould be a good festival, my favourite Latvian brewer will be there. We used to visit Riga ~4 times a year and always visit his brewpub, and we've not been for 18 months now.
[09:44:56] <janrinok> should be a good weekend but how much of it you will remember afterwards we will have to wait and see
[09:45:34] <FatPhil> Also represented at the festival will be my least favourite Latvian brewery. Possibly the brewery I've been most offensive to in my beer reviews, ever.
[09:47:02] <FatPhil> I didn't just include death threats in my beer review, I think I said I would rape their mother in front of their eyes before killing them.
[09:47:05] <FatPhil> It was a bad beer.
[09:47:36] <janrinok> perhaps you should be more forthright with your opinions...?
[09:48:18] <FatPhil> https://www.ratebeer.com
[09:48:48] <FatPhil> I'm going to pick up a box of matches, shake it in front of them, put it on their stand, and say "you know what to do"
[09:50:38] <FatPhil> Ah, no mother rape, I was going easy on them
[09:52:17] <janrinok> I can see why the might be less than pleased to meet you - but if I've read it right you didn't like it much then :)
[09:52:43] <janrinok> I've got tears running down my cheeks!
[09:54:54] <janrinok> time for lunch afk
[09:57:11] <FatPhil> Some of the phrases used aren't original, the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter is the definition of "santorum", for example.
[09:57:57] <FatPhil> "thick and cummy in the mouth" was a classic phrase from a historical beer review over a decade back.
[10:25:07] <boru> FP; regarding the sed question, something like '/pattern/,/[^\\]/p' perhaps?
[10:25:22] <boru> At least, for posix sed.
[10:25:39] <boru> Gnu sed is probably similar.
[10:37:49] <inz> You're one dollar short
[10:48:57] <chromas> how many days late?
[10:50:20] <chromas> why is the FTC investigating McDonald's? It's already known
[10:52:21] <chromas> The company that makes the machines makes most of its money on repair calls so it has a special contract with McDonald's to cockblock employees from fixing the machines, which give nondescript error codes, even though they make the same machines for other fast food places that don't have that problem
[10:55:07] <inz> chromas, it don't really matter if you collect at Milliways
[10:55:38] * chromas stretches his dollar and heads on in
[11:09:39] <FatPhil> boru: Bosh! needs a $ but works a treat.
[11:09:58] <FatPhil> boru++ thatnks, you are a scholar and a gentleman!
[11:09:58] <Bender> karma - boru: 59
[11:10:34] <boru> Ah yeah, missed the $. Nonetheless, you're welcome, old chap.
[11:11:52] <FatPhil> For maximum hilarity, I've completely forgotten why I neeed it now!
[11:13:02] <FatPhil> I know exactly which wndow it was to be typed into, so I shall l get it lines up
[11:38:09] <FatPhil> win 1r

[12:31:05] <FatPhil> didn't we run that already? it's months old
[12:31:41] <janrinok> I thought that I'd read it - but then thought perhaps not.
[12:32:50] <FatPhil> don't ask me, I don't even have the memories I was born with.
[12:37:40] <janrinok> Has Ida cleared the USA now?
[12:38:15] <FatPhil> bloody typical - the only person on the train not wearing a mask is sitting right opposite me. and yes, it's mandatory.

[20:12:39] <Runaway1956> I just came here to say much the same as t3 - the message count isn't updating
[20:20:23] <Runaway1956> janrinok - a cursory search of the internet doesn't even show any Ida
[20:20:33] <Runaway1956> I guess it's gone
[20:20:54] <Runaway1956> I'm surprised how much damage it did way up north though
[20:21:53] <Runaway1956> Meanwhile - New Orleans is getting power back - I think northeast corner of the city got power first
[20:22:41] <Runaway1956> Laplace has some power, they have a couple traffic cameras working
[20:23:56] <Runaway1956> Kenner, Metairie, and New Orleans are all down still, as might be expected
[20:25:33] <Runaway1956> OHHHH!!!! The French Quarter has power, and their Cat's Meow camera is online!
