[07:53:27] <chromas> wat
[08:20:25] <FatPhil> that is very mangled. very bootstrappy too: "it's popular because it's popular", but alas that is how the market works.

[08:27:15] <systemd> ^ 03GIF inventor Steve Wilhite dead from COVID-19 complications
[08:27:57] <chromas> How's about a 21-gif salute?
[08:32:07] <FatPhil> he didn't know how to pronouce "covid"?
[08:32:25] <chromas> "sovid"
[08:34:24] <chromas> Kinda weird though. I thought covid was done
[08:34:39] <chromas> No mask mandates; nobody really talks about it. It's all about Russia again
[08:34:54] <FatPhil> we had our second highest ever level of kaputniks yesterday, I think.
[08:35:31] <FatPhil> but we're mostly "it's over". sickos gonna croak, deal with it.
[08:36:07] <chromas> It's for the greater good
[08:36:36] <FatPhil> our population has exploaded from 2% Ukrainian to 4% ukrainian in town, there might be some correlation if their o-wave was after ours.
[08:36:52] <chromas> Also, the people quadruple-masking are the ones who were saying just a couple years ago that we needed a good plague
[08:37:19] <FatPhil> the people who thought they were "quadruple masking" weren't masking at all.
[08:37:23] <chromas> I don't need to hear about your o
[08:37:39] <FatPhil> 4 times idiocy doesn't amount to anythign more than more idiocy
[08:38:00] * chromas straps on two more masks
[08:38:49] <chromas> So as an expert on drank, is the Ballmer peak real?
[08:39:15] <FatPhil> probably more like .5% to 2.5% actually, I don't think most Ukrainians in the country live in the capital.
[08:39:48] <chromas> They're mostly lower case.
[08:40:06] <FatPhil> There's quantity of code, and quality of code. Sometimes a blast of quantity can be good, and the balmer peak will aid that.
[08:40:45] <FatPhil> but be prepared for not quite as good quality.
[08:40:50] <chromas> ah
[08:41:08] <FatPhil> which is why you should always strive for readability
[08:41:17] <chromas> I remember in my youth, my best code'ums (and 3d'ums) seemed to come when I was tired
[08:41:33] <FatPhil> obviously no bugs is 1000x better than no obvious bugs
[08:43:35] <chromas> "But since they first began, what have we learned about how well lockdowns work? Ian Sample speaks to epidemiologist Prof Adam Kucharski"
[08:43:43] <chromas> Really? Ian Sample?
[08:44:32] <chromas> Okay, let's go pair him up with Lorum Ipsum for a new scientific paper called Untitled Document.

[13:38:13] <drussell> The site's IP6 connectivity is broken...
[13:38:42] <drussell> Site won't load, can't log into IRC... I had to disable IPv6 on my router to get on here

[13:44:05] <drussell> I could see the IRC logs on logs.sylnt.us with IPv6, I could see the web IRC login page, and I could ping it, but the main page never responded...
[13:44:30] <drussell> and if I try to log in from the web IRC client, it can't connect to the actual server.
[13:44:34] <drussell> Just a heads-up...
[13:46:12] <drussell> I suppose my IRC connection should probably stay open now that I'm connected if I re-enable IPv6, lets's try! :)
[13:53:03] <inz> I've been connected to the IRC server over IPv6 for the past 2 weeks

[14:34:13] <janrinok> drussell, have you solved the problem now?
[14:46:05] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Android Password-Stealing Malware Infects 100,000 Google Play Users - https://sylnt.us
[14:57:29] <drussell> Yeah, it is working normally now. Might have just been some strange transient thing, but everything else IPv6 I could find was working fine, so very strange...
[14:58:24] <drussell> Soylentnews wouldn't load any time I tried from just before 13:00 UTC forat least that 45 mins or so, didn't try again until now
[14:59:14] <drussell> I'll let you know if I see anything strange, it normally "just works"
[15:01:10] <drussell> Thanks for all your hard work behind the scenes, guys... (Even if you didn't have to actually DO anything this time? LOL)
[15:02:20] <drussell> I finally broke down and splurged on a subscription the other day, not that I can really afford to spend "extra" money right now, but supporting the site backend financially is worth it. Thanks guys
[15:13:23] <janrinok> good to know you are 'reconnected'!

[17:51:52] <Runaway1956> It must be Thursday - silly dog went insane when a bunch of bad men came and stole our trash from the front yard.
[17:52:33] <Runaway1956> He usually isn't left running loose on trash day, guess I forgot what day it is.
[18:17:00] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Neural Networks With Multiplexing - https://sylnt.us - Mr-Data-wearing-a-VISOR
[18:19:30] <chromas> You have people actually get out of the truck to collect your trash? What year is it?
[18:20:05] <Runaway1956> Heh - this is backwoods Arkansas
[18:20:41] <Runaway1956> Driver drives, and two men ride along, to get out and empty garbage cans into the hopper
[18:36:32] <tedious> How do they do it in your neighborhood chromas?
[18:36:49] <chromas> The truck has an arm to pick up the cans
[18:37:24] <tedious> Oh I think I've seen a video of that.
[18:37:56] <tedious> It's like a fork-lift that grabs the can and flips it up over the truck.
[18:38:16] <tedious> That's how it managed to fling garbage all over the street.
[18:40:32] <chromas> Whoops
[18:41:44] <chromas> We've had those trucks since at least the '90s. I didn't think we were that far ahead of the curve here
[18:47:28] <FatPhil> There's a half-way compromise where the bin needs to be wheeled to exactly the right spot behind the truck so it can be robotically inverted.
[18:50:53] <FatPhil> when i saw them swinging articulated arms to the bin to pick it up from where it stands I thought things have got too fancy.
[18:50:55] <chromas> I opened up my twitter page and it has some suggestions. one person/group/whatever: "A holacratic open source community scaling blockchains on #Layer2 #Ethereum. #Scalability as global public utility."
[18:51:31] <FatPhil> That's useful - I'm selling Public Utilities as a Service.
[18:51:45] <chromas> But do you scale blockchains?
[18:53:00] <FatPhil> yeah, but I use a terrible scaling algorithm, so it ends up horribly blocky.
[18:53:01] <inz> chromas, I think you won BS bingo
[18:53:27] <FatPhil> Currently researching anti-aliasedchains
[18:53:43] <FatPhil> He's not won until I'm kaput!
[18:54:22] <FatPhil> It's the fuzzylogical next step.
[18:55:13] <FatPhil> inz: what are the pub rules like in .fi presently - we're thinking of heading over real soon now
[19:07:08] <inz> No special restrictions AFAIK

[21:50:08] <Runaway1956> Someone offers you a salad . . . you poke a fork into, you stir around, and there's only vegetables in there
[21:50:18] <Runaway1956> Is that a crime against nature?
[21:50:51] <Runaway1956> No egg, no cheese, no meat, just vegetables
