[11:14:02] <MrPlow> Today: Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm during the morning, then some lingering showers still possible this afternoon. Morning high of 62F with temps falling to near 50. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Tomorrow: Considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. High 59F. Winds NNW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
[11:14:24] <Bytram> looks like no fooshin in your immediate future
[11:14:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> thinking it's likely kidneys having a rough time of it cleaning all yesterday's caffeine out. gonna grab some cranberry juice today, see if it helps any.
[11:14:56] <Bytram> unless, could always do brook/lake fsihin from shore
[11:15:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> could but i think i'll pass unless it clears up quite a bit this afternoon.
[11:15:28] <Bytram> don't bother with cranberryr juice, I recall reading that the results from that study were suspect as it was paid by a major cranberry producer
[11:15:33] <Bytram> nod nod
[11:15:42] <Bytram> to clear kidneys: drink water
[11:15:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, even if it's no better than water it's still better tasting.
[11:17:09] <Bytram> prolly tastes better, yes. effective/ I have my doubts.

[11:21:00] <boru> Did you ever recover?
[11:21:16] <Bytram> this was in the pre-486 timeframe
[11:21:25] <Bytram> yep
[11:21:29] <boru> Ah.
[11:21:45] <Bytram> had some prior experience with version control use and concepts
[11:21:55] <Bytram> IIRC they had VOBs??
[11:22:06] <boru> I hope to avoid having to use it for our purposes (I've started on a new seed team)
[11:22:09] <boru> Yeah.
[11:22:16] <Bytram> they wanted me to help consistify the behaviour of their tools on windows and unix
[11:22:25] <boru> It's hands down the worst VCS I've used in my life.
[11:22:48] <boru> Give me CVS before you give me clearcase.
[11:23:23] <Bytram> I found it interesting to store not just the sources, but also compilers, linkers, ... the whole build environment, in a snapshot to be forward-thinking
[11:23:33] <boru> Hang on, are you responsible for the CLI?
[11:23:38] <Bytram> nope
[11:23:55] * boru prepares the orbital kinetic bombardment platform with coordinates.
[11:23:58] <Bytram> all I did was to make sure that when you did $foo on unix and did $foo on windows, that it worked the same
[11:24:23] <boru> So $foo uninstalled windows and installed AIX?
[11:24:56] <boru> Ah, fiddlesticks. I need to head off to a meeting. I'll be back in a bit.
[11:25:43] <Bytram> well, more accurately, they had a test suite they'd developed under Unix, and had ported to windows (MKS Toolkit). They kept up the Unix version, but the MKS one suffered from benign neglect... I ws brought on board to fix that.
[11:26:21] <Bytram> give me a minute
[11:27:33] <Bytram> looks like this was back in 1996

[12:09:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> how many companies is that planning to blanket the world in some form of internet access now?
[12:10:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> I know Facebook had a plan for that as well, but took a lot of flak because they were going to prioritize traffic to/from their own servers.
[12:12:11] <Bytram> it's a great synergy for their Tesla org -- guaranteed to have a connection available for getting updated road parameters (dimensions and traffic) and driver telemetry, too.
[12:13:24] <Bytram> Sounds like a great deal for the consumer, but I am concerned about the privacy implications -- AIUI, Tesla's cars are rather 'chatty'

[12:52:32] <boru> ISTR it being a moniker for a disease of some description, as well.

[12:55:24] <Bytram> boru++ nailed it
[12:55:24] <Bender> karma - boru: 13
[12:55:45] <boru> Close enough.
[12:56:32] <boru> I mean, they describe chronic as an adjective there, but I'm almost certain it was a colloquial reference to some sort of respiratory disease a few centuries ago.
[12:57:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> tuberculosis used to be referred to "consumption" IIRC.
[12:57:28] <Bytram> http://etymonline.com
[12:57:28] <upstart> ^ 03Online Etymology Dictionary
[12:57:43] <boru> Yeah, it was.
[12:57:50] <Bytram> chronic (adj.) Look up chronic at Dictionary.com
[12:57:50] <Bytram> early 15c., of diseases, "lasting a long time," from Middle French chronique, from Latin chronicus, from Greek khronikos "of time, concerning time," from khronos "time" (see chrono-). Vague disapproving sense (from 17c.) is from association with diseases and later addictions.
[12:58:08] <boru> Other pulmonary/plural disorders, too.
[12:58:34] <boru> i.e. fluid in the pericardium etc.
[12:58:34] <Bytram> http://etymonline.com
[12:58:34] <upstart> ^ 03Online Etymology Dictionary
[12:58:43] <Bytram> consumption (n.) Look up consumption at Dictionary.com
[12:58:43] <Bytram> late 14c., "wasting of the body by disease; wasting disease" (replacing Old English yfeladl "the evil disease"), from Old French consumpcion, from Latin consumptionem (nominative consumptio) "a using up, wasting," noun of state from past participle stem of consumere (see consume). Meaning "the using up of material" is 1530s.
[12:59:03] <boru> They're missing the reference to TB there, though.
[12:59:14] <boru> It was specifically used to refer to TB, given people's weight loss.
[12:59:15] <Bytram> nod nod
[13:00:02] <Bytram> nod nod
[13:00:20] * Bytram breathes a sigh of release noting his recent wait gain
[13:00:36] <boru> I've a bunch of very old medical journals and records in my library. It's interesting to see the names they use to refer to diseases; falling sickness, rising of the lights etc.
[13:01:30] <Bytram> agreed
[13:01:32] <boru> Sounds like you need to raise your task priority so you get scheduled more often.
[13:02:16] <Bytram> what gets me is that today's medical communityis unable to move to a consistent nomenclature of everything because of all of the old journals, etc. which refer to things with different names... is left to each practicioner to keep track of all the synonyms
[13:02:31] <Bytram> LOL

[13:03:26] <boru> It's early for my NA brothers, it'll slide.
[13:03:36] <boru> Check them for what?
[13:03:37] <Bytram> so gracious of you!

[13:04:34] <Bytram> for a programmer, any time before noon is EARLY!
[13:04:48] <boru> Ah, but sure, as we say, if you have a reputation as a hard worker, you can stay in bed all day.

[13:09:25] <boru> First light is for RX, not TX! I also doubt it's the first light the emitter's seen.
[13:10:05] <Bytram> agreed, also "biggest" ?? I don't care how *large* the machine is, I'd like to know how *powerful* it is.
[13:10:19] <boru> Quite right.
[13:11:17] <Bytram> presumably, its power is related to its physical size, but that's not a given
[13:11:34] <boru> Aye.
[13:11:54] <boru> I imagine it's large, since focusing high energy particles is feckin' hard.
[13:12:33] <boru> It's an especially annoying engineering problem for low emission sources, for example, xray or gamma ray telescopes.
[13:12:48] <boru> At high spatial resolutions, that is.

[15:28:16] <Bytram> strange to see that response; exact same query worked previously. :/
[15:28:42] <boru> The benefits of PHP.
[15:28:55] <boru> It's probably overwritten its own memory and modified its behaviour as a result.
[15:29:41] <Bytram> self modifying code -- I may or may not have done that at one time
[15:30:01] <boru> Me too.

[15:31:12] <boru> Interesting.
[15:31:36] <Bytram> earlier than that... ever program in lisp?
[15:31:43] <boru> The machine it's running on must be mining bitcoins for whomever patched the bot.
[15:31:53] <boru> Nah, never got into lisp.
[15:32:06] <Bytram> could be network congestion at the router, too.
[15:32:38] <Bytram> played with it in a language survey course in college; also dabbled in emacs' elisp variant
[15:33:18] <Bytram> *everything* is a function call, which returns a value, that the caller (in turn) acts upon or passes to other functions to process

[23:02:12] <boru> Insulting headline.
[23:05:34] <boru> "I've never written any Fortran -- let me insult people who have"
[23:07:10] <mechanicjay> boru: agreed, that's a pretty bad headline
[23:11:29] <nick> i cant say much as ive been very lazy in doing any editing
[23:11:38] <nick> but seems like every day there's a headline that pisses me off
[23:49:53] <boru> Aye.
[23:50:12] <boru> I can't really speak, either. I should make more time for submissions.
[23:50:15] <chromas> Only one?
[23:50:22] * chromas becomes an editor just to trigger nick more
[23:52:10] <boru> I don't know if it's just the Summer/Eternal September phenomenon, but a lot of new sites I frequent seem to have an influx of silly articles, lately; sites I'd normally considered to be neutral/unslanted have gone off the rails.
[23:52:45] <boru> I don't mean politically, but moreso that they seem to have abandoned scientific rigor.
[23:53:11] <chromas> The Bill Nyening
[23:53:12] <nick> journalistic/editorial standards have slipped across the board it would appear
[23:53:30] <boru> "Let's make a funny alien related headline rather than analyse the data"
[23:53:34] <boru> Yeah, agreed.
[23:53:51] <nick> recent trends in social discourse have enabled a race to the bottom, preach to the choir, get them clicks mentality to accelerate
[23:54:05] <boru> Right.
[23:54:13] <boru> Revenue driven nonsense.
[23:54:20] <boru> Clickbait etc.
[23:54:38] <nick> there was always plenty of crap in most corners, but they're doing less and less to hide their lack of research and bias/agenda
[23:54:44] <nick> that's how it appears to me
[23:55:01] <boru> That said, I'm being a hypocrite. I could submit my own articles, but I haven't lately.
[23:55:43] <boru> Yeah, other sites I've been reading 'news' on seems to have degraded to a few sentences to consitute a new article.
[23:55:57] <boru> It's worrying.
[23:56:00] <nick> same, but that said, right now it feels like you're just pissing in the wind when you make an attempt to be serious and objective
[23:56:25] <boru> Everything reduced to something which fits in a twit post, or whatever you call it.
[23:56:58] <boru> Attentions spans reduced to a soundbite.
[23:57:26] <boru> Soundbyte? NFI.
[23:57:39] * boru kldunload whiskey.ko
[23:57:45] <nick> over the last few years, i've been following news and current events very closely, trying to contribute to a constructive dialogue, but at this point i'm more inclined to just say fuck you, i got mine.
[23:58:31] <boru> Aye, I'm reminded of an article in the Phrack reboot about so-called 'hacker luddites'
[23:58:59] <nick> oh?
[23:59:10] <boru> The concept of technically competent hackers resisting the most recent 'innovations'
[23:59:45] <boru> It refers to more technical things, but more generally, I think it's a commentary on the 'Net on a larger scale.
[23:59:48] <boru> Let me dig it out.
[23:59:58] <nick> cool, im interested to have a read
