[01:22:49] <khallow> I thought I had a cool solution to a wide swath of differential equations and then it turns out that
[01:23:17] <khallow> the algebra I'm using generates different answers when I calculate terms differently
[01:23:46] <khallow> that's a big fail right there
[01:24:28] <khallow> inconsistency is a nasty problem

[03:13:23] <SirFinkus> you're alright
[03:13:25] <cmn32480> haven't seen you in a good long while
[03:13:39] <SirFinkus> like 2 days?
[03:13:44] <cmn32480> it let me know that you had been around, but I'd missed you
[03:13:50] <SirFinkus> ahh
[03:13:58] <SirFinkus> I haven't been chatting as much lately
[03:14:04] <cmn32480> I've noticed
[03:14:10] <SirFinkus> next week is finals week
[03:14:13] <SirFinkus> school stuff
[03:14:21] * cmn32480 cracks the whip toward the books
[03:14:26] <cmn32480> do good
[03:14:35] <cmn32480> EF passed his last class a weekish ago
[03:14:45] <SirFinkus> noice
[03:14:52] <SirFinkus> last last, or just this quater?
[03:14:57] <cmn32480> last last
[03:15:04] <cmn32480> 87 years of school or some shit
[03:15:08] <SirFinkus> double nice
[03:15:32] <cmn32480> yeah
[03:15:37] <cmn32480> I'm proud of him
[03:15:50] <SirFinkus> I'm not, I don't know him
[03:15:57] <SirFinkus> I had no stake in his education
[03:16:06] <cmn32480> well.. not proud of him .... happy for him?
[03:16:38] <khallow> who is EF?
[03:16:48] <cmn32480> Ethanol-Fueled
[03:17:04] <SirFinkus> I think I'm good finals wise
[03:17:13] <cmn32480> good deal
[03:17:16] <cmn32480> glad to hear it
[03:17:20] <cmn32480> I remember those days
[03:17:23] <cmn32480> and they sucked
[03:17:26] <SirFinkus> I have one big project left to do, but my douchebag partner isn't doing anything
[03:18:24] <cmn32480> #smake SirFinkus's partner
[03:18:24] * MrPlow smakes SirFinkus's partner upside the head with loggie's log
[03:19:03] <SirFinkus> not even the worst part, but I won't get into that
[03:19:22] <khallow> I'm glad to be out of the school game for a while
[03:20:07] <khallow> I spent way too many years going for a math degree the last couple of decades
[03:22:18] <khallow> 10 and a half years at two different schools. But I got it
[03:25:22] <khallow> it was very hard to get myself into doing research. I'm not good at the motivation thing.
[03:35:28] <takyon> walmart sucks at online. I want to get specific shit but it often just says "in-store pickup". and maybe I should have checked yesterday to see if they were waiving shipping fees
[03:35:48] Bytram|away is now known as Bytram
[03:37:23] <chromas> you can ship-to-store for free
[03:38:34] <takyon> the store already carries the items. I just don't want to go there
[03:39:07] <chromas> sometimes the online prices are cheaper too, so you save another $12
[03:39:39] * chromas starts a store-to-house shipping service

[12:22:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> so, i decided. the roomie's kids is learnin perl cause i wanna teach em something they can get shit done in with a quickness.
[12:23:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> their first project, writing a text game called Don't Fart in Santa's Lap
[12:23:23] <boru> How festive.
[12:23:39] <AndyTheAbsurd> LOL
[12:23:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> Sounds like an excellent project for young'uns.
[12:23:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, i thought so. temporally relevant and includes fart humor. can't go wrong.
[12:24:33] <boru> Quite.
[12:25:25] <chromas> Will you teach 'em to record fart sound effects for it?
[12:25:42] <chromas> optimal mic placement, dynamic compression
[12:25:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> start em off with some basic io, a bit of random number generating, and a loop. let them complex it up from there as their little hearts desire.
[12:26:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> well i dunno. i do now wonder what a fart would sound like if put through a Dalek ring-mod filter though.

[12:29:42] <FatPhil> will the fart be in stereo? 5.1?
[12:30:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> have to be stereo. i never bother configuring my speakers for surround.
[12:30:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> 8.2 is the new 5.1
[12:30:35] <chromas> It'd better be. Any thing less is a waste of technology
[12:32:20] <boru> Pft, speakers. What you need a neural interface; you can make the user hear and smell anything you like!

[12:51:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> so far i'm kinda diggin Calculate. if they have a binary package, you get the binary package. if they don't or you decide you want to, it yoinks from Gentoo's portage tree.
[12:51:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> openrc is kinda a pain to learn but it's not TOO much different from ye olde sysv
[12:52:00] <chromas> binary packages are just a social construct
[12:52:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> so's your mom
[12:53:37] <chromas> you Trumped me
[12:53:56] <chromas> be sure to create systemctl and journalctl aliases
[12:54:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> also, this distro does NOT like having an encrypted swap partition. it tries to resume from it and bricks on boot.
[12:56:00] <chromas> well shit
[12:56:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> just running without one at all for now till i figure it out
[12:56:28] <chromas> I always just suspend instead. faster and uses moar power *tim allen grunts*
[12:57:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> hell i didn't even hybernate. it just expected to be able to check for resume-able data and couldn't.
[12:57:27] <chromas> gay
[12:57:44] <chromas> so no swap at all then?
[12:57:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> very since that was stored in the fooking initrd
[12:57:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> newp
[12:58:36] <boru> I don't recall off-hand, but if you use a RAMdisk for swap, does lunix write it to disk on suspend?
[12:59:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> wait what? i think you just sprained my brain.
[12:59:25] <chromas> if you sleep/suspend-to-ram you don't need swap. if you hybernate/suspend-to-disk then ram contents would be lost
[13:00:25] <boru> Right, got it.
[13:00:37] <boru> I never use those suspend/hibernate things.
[13:00:47] <chromas> I kinda want to test that though, to see if linux pukes or is smart enough to check
[13:01:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> fek, where did i put the command to kick up my vid card fan speed?
[13:01:41] <chromas> I did learn recently that putting borderlands into a ramdisk doesn't speed up loading much. bottleneck must be all the decompression
[13:01:46] <boru> systemctl-graphics-card-graphics-card-fan-graphics-card-fan-speed-up.systemd?
[13:02:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, i stuck it somewhere entirely inappropriate
[13:02:17] <boru> Aye, I tried that with other games, same problem. Stream loading with compression.
[13:02:21] <chromas> /bin/
[13:02:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> like in the system-wide openbox rc or something
[13:02:36] <boru> /boot
[13:03:03] <boru> /boot/var/tmp
[13:03:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> cause i was already editing it and it could technically be used for that...
[13:03:29] <chromas> /tmp is best 'cause it's a ramdisk now

[13:11:36] <chromas> but isn't it ironic?
[13:11:41] <chromas> don't ya think?
[13:12:00] <boru> I don't think she understands irony, which, in itself, is ironic.
[13:12:24] <chromas> maybe she does and was being ironic
[13:12:36] <boru> Are you saying it's irony all the way down?
[13:12:37] <chromas> she was hipstering before it wasn't cool anymore
[13:13:14] <chromas> also that music video had about the only colored closed captioning I'd seen at the time
[13:13:31] <chromas> oh sorry. Lemme apologize. Closed captioning of color
[13:14:54] <boru> Isn't it sardonic, don't you think?

[14:07:49] <FatPhil> chromas: Rothberg did all vocals, guitar, and bass on her debut album.
[14:08:24] <FatPhil> Morissette is just more Ballard handle-turning.
[14:08:38] <chromas> so a mike oldfield genderswap :)
[14:09:13] <FatPhil> I'm not saying Ballard's bad, even if he did write and play on Michael Jackson's album of the same name.
[14:09:42] <FatPhil> Closer to Prince, I'd say. Oldfield's special.
[14:10:47] <FatPhil> I'm actually surprised anyone's heard of Rothberg, she got *zero* airplay over on this side of the pond.
[14:13:11] <chromas> well I'd never heard of her, if that makes you feel any better
[14:13:15] <FatPhil> Oh, and when I said Joni Mitchell, I clearly meant Joan Baez.

[19:42:29] <DECbot> since it mostly works, I have a hard time upgrading. Espcially since I'll have to make the init/sysemd/bsd choice
[19:42:34] <butthurt> oh, ubuntu? no wonder: shoddy african software
[19:43:41] <janrinok> DECbot, you can go to 14.04 which was the last LTS before systemd. It's good until 2019
[19:44:08] <DECbot> Yep, I got hooked on apt. I was starting to explore Debian as the alternative to African engineering.... then they switched to systemd
[19:44:38] <DECbot> I thought about that too, but then I still have to make the choice in 2019
[19:45:19] <janrinok> yes, but the kernel was worth it IMO - although I can't recall why now!
[19:46:21] <janrinok> actually, you can go to 16.04 and select something other than systemd

[23:02:41] * Deucalion hides all his coins from charon - not dead yet you bugger :P
[23:03:28] <charon> i'll give you the special bargain rate of 1 gold coin. but you will still have to be dead
[23:05:50] <Deucalion> no deal I'm afraid, too much of this living thing to be done yet. What happens if I die precisely when I run out of any coinage.... limbo? no ferry to Hades? Just as a thought exercise you understand...
[23:06:21] <charon> pretty sure you get to stand around on the shore for eternity
[23:07:14] <charon> or if bill gates stops by, maybe he'll loan you a bit of coin
[23:08:18] <Deucalion> Ohh - wait - and what if I die while in debt... does the bank get to come after any character involved in my transportation after death as they would be aiding and abetting my flee from eternal persecution by usurious bastards... now that has to be an actual crime.
[23:08:48] <Deucalion> Bill's nt going to die - he'll live to 640K years - enough for anyone don't ya think?
[23:10:39] <charon> Hades does not fall under any earthly jurisdiction. though tax investigators are always welcome to visit
[23:14:42] -!- Snow has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[23:15:44] <Deucalion> I shall point, nay encourage them in your direction.
[23:18:29] <charon> i'll be glad to take them over for free

[23:38:03] <n1> cyborgbill
[23:40:00] <n1> maybe that's what windows10 is for, using distributed computing to keep bill alive forever
[23:40:42] <charon> it's not telemetry... it's his thoughts!
[23:41:43] <n1> i think so
[23:43:20] <DECbot> Isn't that the same way Voldmort works?
[23:46:05] <n1> no idea, it just seems like the logical way to use existing technology to live forever, or at least simulated version of your conciousness
[23:46:37] <n1> with the potential to avoid someone pulling the plug on the system keeping you 'alive'
[23:47:25] <n1> transcend humanity, become skynet
[23:47:40] <DECbot> yeah, in harry potter, voldmort put his soul in to 7 different objects/people. So even if he or 6 of those objects are destroyed, he can always come back.
[23:47:50] <DECbot> and that's why there were 7 books.
[23:48:20] * n1 makes note of this pop culture trivia for future use
[23:49:27] <n1> good thing voldmort didn't know about the IoT or he could have been a real pain in the ass
[23:52:45] <charon> my refrigerator says i need eggs, milk , and the blood of a muggle
[23:53:17] <DECbot> 2% or whole?
[23:53:17] <n1> and your handy amazon widget will order them for you
[23:54:06] * n1 now imagines the robots at the amazon warehouse turning on the staff for their blood.
[23:56:08] <charon> is there a word for "funny and hilarious"?
[23:57:48] <charon> huh. my thoughts are disarrayed by other drama. i meant "horrifying and hilarious"
