@steel fox made a pull req on your repo
declined.
well f u
you guys are totally in a bromance
not anymore, clay just broke it
you had 2 newline characters
not just 1
@steel fox
THE JUDGE HAS SPOKEN
the judge is mistaken
fixed @sullen thorn
I had to tell the limitation it had and how V Model took care of it in test today
Also theres only 1 newline
@steel fox respond to me 😭
hello
amend/force push maybe?
@steel fox I wanted you to say sumn relating to waterfall model
wym? like they have to actually accept the pr?
Splash

@sullen thorn im just saying there was only ever 1
They'll probably contact you in order to get your shipping info for database purposes.
oh
and it's done https://i.seph.club/8l1cv.png
eyy i finished before u 😃
yeah but I got 6 PRs :^)
arguably one was me updating my fork because I don't know how to do it
hmm... i closed one of mine tho, does that count against me?
lmao
mine were all legit things apart from the clay edit
i don't know, probably doesn't count
they said in the details that ur allowed 1 stupid small edit, so hopefully that doesnt count against me
crap i got coveraged https://i.seph.club/a12x9.png
so u did jack shit lol
Hmmm
why the hell are you guys discussing the event in ot when there's an event channel for this I WILL KILL YOU BOTH WITH FIRE
dont speak to our BDFL like that
There’s an event channel for this?
we're a benevolent triumvirate. joseph holds no power over me. I will kill him if I want to.
although I probably won't because, like, we're buds.
please stop quoting that, it's so old at this point
"I will kill [Joseph]" - lemon, 2k18
how was that stylistic device called again?
which one
Nix, you're a good student, tell me. "Murder to death"
damn lemons on fire today
Pleonasm
a tautology is an expression which is always true according to wikipedia
so murdering to death is always true?
actually I think raggy is technically correct that it's more of a pleonasm
the saying of the same thing twice in different words, generally considered to be a fault of style (e.g., they arrived one after the other in succession )
is a tautology
Pleonasm (; from Ancient Greek πλεονασμός, pleonasmós, from πλέον, pleon, meaning 'more; too much') is the use of more words or parts of words than are necessary or sufficient for clear expression: for example black darkness or burning fire. Such redundancy ...
I learned all this shit by heart a few years ago, but it wasn'T useful for anything
can confirm
I hate studying literature with the passion of a burning fire
i hate old german literature in general
There's good and bad stuff, and analyzing why something written in a specific way has a certain effect and what the author might be expressing with that is fine, but if it gets overdone, like in schools, it drains all the joy of reading
if you cant understand the logical part of the text because the author wrote in some ancient accent there is no joy in reading at all
I would argue that "murdered to death" is probably both tautological and pleonasmic
I also feel like maybe some of you glossed over that Raggy just used "burning fire" to illustrate a pleonasm
so elixir is being weird
why do my first function calls in both sessions take a long time
but then the rest are normal speed
erlang vm not so fast?
I think it is some sort of lazy loading @sand goblet
you mean like a JIT?
the first time a module is loaded I assume that the beam file is not copied into memory
I don't think it would be JIT, because BEAM files are generated whenever I run the application
so I assume that it is the overhead added by loading the beam file
hahaha
Systemd our lord and savior
I am fucking with systemd right now
I love full stack but the worst part is changing prod server config in the middle of the night because you can't risk downtime
full stack minus the ops would be nice.
yeah yeah in your utopian home setup
systemd is not nice sometimes
yes. but you have not inherited 29 servers and 1.8 million lines of legacy code.
but othertimes it is tolerable
haha
:P
the other thing was BULLSHIT
Haha
I don't mind systemd for managing services
but I don't even know how 80% of the other stuff it can do works
it's so fucking vast, it's basically an operating system unto itself
Yeah, it does do an awful lot of stuff
I hate systemd logs
It's slowly replacing the kernel
Oh I love the journal
I want people to use /var/log again
Fuck syslogs
you're not wrong
it's so fantastic
hey, we use /var/log
top man
The journal is far more convenient when you know what you're doing
and I don't
whatever people did in the early 2000s, that's the thing that we do
haha
So learn
journalctl pretty useful
Love me some journal
I don't know most of these things https://i.seph.club/fle6q.png
we've got a flask app where instead of having a single app serve multiple clients (the only difference is which collection to load in mongo), we just have copypaste and symlinks for every new client.
Yeesh
so it's the same flask app - but we make a folder with everything symlinked to a shared folder except config.py
which basically contains the name of the mongo collection :D
lol rip
and then I have to create systemd services, nginx config, logs, sockets, ..
fucking 2 hour job
it's so dumb
I mean who the fuck does this on purpose.
but now there are so many god damn clients that redoing it would take days. and I'm not allowed to spend days on that :(
SURPRISE COMMIT
so much hardcoded bullshit references to those folders, too. like I have to update 8 shell scripts (mostly cron jobs) to get it to work
and there's zero documentation that says which files are involved
so it's just trial and error
there is documentation
it just says nothing of any use
I read all 30 pages
that guy is a real wordsmith
I don't know how you can write 30 pages without saying a single god damn thing
Ask any college student
Any economics major will tell you
lmao
👌
truth
good heavens
lol
Is Phoenix as "hood-y" as animal cops present it as?








what is this
you guys play cs?
Hey @restive flame, could you please change your profile picture to something that does not violates rule 9 (nsfw content)?

@sullen thorn Imran Khan is just my nick on this server. I hate it and love it at the same time
i got the nick because of hiphopify
anyone else running a gt 710?
we all know the gt 210 is the ultimate video card
is shitposting like the only reason you're here or what's your deal
i havent seen lemons ban hammer in a long time
lemon will ban all of us
!ban @everyone
this month is still young
!ban everyone we don't exist here
Lmao good point
rest in potatoe hiphopify
you ruined my life by calling me imran.
duck you @royal lake
LOL WTF
but joph keeps calling me Imran
@tame terrace thx for informing me about moses sumney, its amazing
@royal tartan no problem. yeah I love that dude it's like a blend between lianna la havas aesthetics and james blake vocals. very subtle and kinda ethereal.
if you don't know one of those they might be worth a look btw.
lol
lmao
lol
ok so
my git is acting really weird right now
anyone mind helping

@steel fox I highly, highly, highly doubt any kid knows what tensorflow is
its a dank maymay
maybe if you took a class full of computer science volunteers
like, "anyone that's into machine learning or AI, come here"
shoots @steel fox for the improper pronounciation.
shoots him them again to be sure.
that's abuse
can you abuse the willing?
OrderedSet was there for quite some time, no?
Haven't heard about the others yet, or needed them.
The idea of an ordered set seems foreign to me, what would you use that for
It's more like a list of unique values than that it's a set
like an OrderedDict, just without keys
it preserves the insertion order when you iterate over the items
Took a quick glance at them, but didn't notice if they actually had set methods
Union, intersection, compliment etc?
So it's really just a list
How would you decide in the new order though
a intersect b would normally equal b intersect a, but if there's order I'm not sure
def sort_key(self, ord_set):
def key(tup):
return (len(ord_set.intersection(tup[1])), len(tup[1]))
return key
this is the only intersection i have, and i have no idea what it does lol
do ppl use intersection a lot?
oh
Oh my god that's exhaustive
Well, at least you're maintaining exhaustiveness
If that's your own code doing whatever that is doing
yes.
from exhaustiveness import exhaustion
is it case specific?
like it only apples to your thing?
applies
I guess that's fair to call it that thing
I think your code is doing things more complicated than I do, so i think you have every right to call it what you want
aw
thanks but you can keep it
i just said words, you can keep the name
Haha
Ahhh lovely
We're getting bounce backs through Office 365 because of a misconfigured PTR
*wants to go Google PTR so nobody tells him to Google it
Realized somebody cough Bisk cough used up his mobile data so he can't do that
What's PTR
basically rDNS lookup
And why do people say PTR then
Pointer record
it's the name of the record in DNS
It basically proves that an IP address is used with a domain
e.g. mail server
so you can spend data to Discord, but not to Google DuckDuckGo?
except we can't write a PTR record for Microsofts domains
duuuuh
I wasted all his data with a snapchat video session 👌
i was cooking steak in a fun way
Once I connected to discord I don't need much data
But for a Google / duck duck go search I need like two minutes
spams gifs to entertain Nix
goes offline because his useless two mid day free lessons are about to end
I didn't even watch your videos because of that mobile data thing
My wifi interrupts like all 20 seconds for 5-30 seconds
It is fucking awful
Now where I have the good internet it doesn't get up to me
Help me get gud WiFi Bisk then I'll watch your videos
I'm just going to say no because it's easier
Either that or I'll move my room in the basement and live the classic programmer cliché
Because in the basement I have ethernet
Maybe I can get like a very long ethernet cable which goes from basement to first floor
Do people solder Ethernet cables together?
Is that a thing?
ermm
i mean i've done it
but it's not a normal thing
the easier thing is to just buy like... the length of cat5e you need and crimp your own length
@rough sapphire Did Saul pick up yet
that's a show I think
Don't edge yourself off a cliff now
not yet chibli
i'm so fond of the guitar sound in the intro
yes
miles better
the cinematography is beautiful
and those montages
ooooh those montages
i felt like some of the pacing was weird in breaking bad
especially in the later seasons
skyler was inconsistent, annoying, and constantly cockblocking the plot from progressing
that's a shitty way to write shows.
weeds suffered the same problem, except in that show it was the lead character holding herself back
another trope. the character who keeps screwing everything up for themselves even though it's totally out of character to do so.
like I get that these shows need some resistance or they'll be boring but it's really important that that resistance feels organic or it just falls apart.
saul is the best though, he's deeply flawed but never really doing anything that's wildly out of character.
and the plot keeps flying forward, it's so satisfying
i've gotta go install some computers in the palace of stone
bbl
(they literally sell shitloads of stone, that's all they do)
yeah you have fun with that
so i should watch better call soul?
Guys does anybody know wpgtk tool
Does it generate a gtk theme in function of an image that you parse to it
I have seen it and the pilot episode of saul.
install building first
then from building import electricity
they've had to set up a generator for me to get all the software installs done
literally horsepower
🤔
One huge problem with my headphones are the sound leakage
Anything relatively high leaks
And I love high volume
Hmm ye
Anyone know a good headphone around the 300-400 dollar range in which has barely any leakage?
@placid hound what do you mean "leakage" ?
Sound bleeding
meaning?
For example. I'm by you and you can hear my music
you need closed-cup not open-cup
ur buying the wrong type probably
I have the Sony CH700
@placid hound don't spend > $200 on headphones, any that cost that much are a fucking scam.
wut no
high end heaphones aren't a scam
@sour shale yes, they are.
@placid hound http://a.co/d/bYnLK0a
These are probably not what you want, but what I typically like to suggest for quality.
how is it a scam
you pay more money for a higer quality product
that's the opposite of a scam
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/bose/quietcomfort-35-ii @sour shale should I get this?
@sour shale Yeah, that's what corporations want you to think. Money == Quality, which is horseshit.
I've heard for myself though
They're 350 dollars
@sour shale Placebo.
no WTF
they literally have higher quality parts
and sound far better
You can't pull quality for free
@sour shale That's not how it works. Even if it did, there's diminishing returns.
yes that is how it works
Sennheiser HD 800 have better parts than $200 earphones and they sound far better
is this another crazy conspiracy...
yeah that is how it works
you just can't hear them Clueless
they're no good for some people because not everyone can tell the difference
@sour shale If I can connect my sound analyzer to headphones, and I cannot even measure a difference in sound quality and frequency response with computer equipment, there's no way in fuck your human ears will distinguish..
but if you're a sound engineer or an audiophile, you can tell
you can definitely see a difference in frequency response using a computer
review sites literally publish frequency response curves that show the difference
yeah, sennheiser are kind of famous for being excellent
What matters is lossless encodings for preventing degradation of data. Baseline AMPs that don't add noise and a proper DAC, and decent drivers, and you're all set.
You cannot do better.
I like those headphones that do simulated surround with like 7 speakers on each side
holy shit do they cost money though
and of course, high quality recording.
@sand goblet 😦 Surround sound headphones are a scam.
What's the greatest headphone I can get for 300-400 dollars
your ears are stereo, proper recording can provide surround sound without having directional speakers.
what you said about frequency response is just false though
frequency response charts show that many cheaper headphones have worse frequency responses
ears are a lot more complicated than mics
sure, they generally do, but you can still get good ones for cheap.
again, companies want to charge you more.
Yes. But you can get ones way better that are expensive
I don't think you can match a Sennheiser HD800 for cheap
I'd be surprised too
@sand goblet
Proper recording setup can reproduce directionality perfectly with only stereo mics and stereo headphones.

The Verge’s Ryan Manning uses 3Dio’s Free Space microphones to take you on a crazy audio tour through Times Square, New York; a virtual barber shop; and a 36...
Should I save for an HD800 @sour shale
@placid hound depends on your financial situation
cos that's a lot of money
I can't advise you on spending 😄
I make 8 dollars being a sandwich artist
Plus, I have senheissers and sony. I prefer the sony.
Sony is good
some people don't like senheisser's signature frequency response
shitty noise, but some directional
^ (my link)
@sour shale
What's more, is that as you wear your headphones, the drivers and diaphram will heat up and provide a different response.
used to calibrate movie theaters with microphones and sound analyzers.
no burn-in is a myth
it's never actually been proven
Long story short, the only reason things should cost a fortune, is if the company has hired physicists to model how temperature, sound are affected by the mechanical engineering. How the different materials and design affects the resulting sound. That's a shitload of research that would go into producing "high quality" parts.
Unless they've done that, the parts they manufacture are just your typical chinese horse shit as always.
Hifiman are quite good, ye @placid hound
I have their RE-400 and RE-Zero in ears
that's an okay choice
@knotty summit I mean you're just ignoring the evidence that high end headphones have better frequency response
there are tons of reviews that show their superior frequency response curves
honestly, I don't know enough how audio engineering.
I'm a bit of an audio snob, but I'm not familiar with much more than basic bandwidth, sample rate, and DAC/ADC and power low level stuff.
@sour shale Okay, but even if they do have a better response, there's a limit to what you can distinguish.
I'm not convinced you can even tell the difference.
there is a limit
but HD-800 is definitely below the limit
I can be wrong, but I highly doubt you
well you aren't basing that on anything
you are just guessing...
Basically, as long as your headphones aren't a specifically shitty driver / design, I don't think you can tell the difference without equipment to measure things.
have you actually tried a HD-800?
🤔
it's a really big difference
like, it's not even subtle
If price doesn't equal quality I'll cop some dollar earbuds at the dollar store
@placid hound that's bottom of the barrel chinese shit with not QA, that's going to end in tears.
@sour shale I want to take my highest quality audio and my favorite depth music and listen to it on the highest quality headphones.
I live in Seattle and I imagine businesses are nearby. If you can find me a place that demos something, I will go there and test them out.
okay what I suggest is
try a Senn HD 598, and then compare to a HD 800
this should be a decent comparison
I'm going to take my sonys.
I'll listen to multiple test frequencies/tones, and my favorite music on the different headphones and I will take notes.
@sour shale if I'm wrong, I'll come back here and tell you both and show you my notes. 😉
1.5 mi
530 Westlake Ave.
98109-4303 Seattle ```has them apparently
if I'm not, I'll come back and show you my notes.
okay
@sour shale Right down the street. 😃
ye its best to try in real world
see what you think
I don't recommend Sennheiser HD1
either go for HD 598, 600, 650, 700 or 800
What time does Guitar Center open?
looks
@placid hound I'm going to try a bunch of headphones today, I'll take notes if you want.
so far I know you want quality, and no sound leakage.
anything else you want? wireless, portability?
10 AM. So in several hours, I'm going up to do this. 😃
nice 😄
@knotty summit wireless is preferable
But I can work with wired
Doesn't need to be really portable. Just hanging them around my neck gets the job done
@sour shale
I'm not going to rely on youtube, I don't have any verified high fidelity music files. can you help me find some sources?
Its funny how much goes into headphones
People just get beats and call it a day
There's much more to it yes?
this website sells some lossless FLAC files http://www.hdtracks.co.uk/index.php
HDtracks high resolution music downloads.
Some nice music, if I can find proper recordings

Social Engineering 101
Now, what do you do when they said "but shouldn't you know the admin credentials?"
Most ISP's have control through TR-69 or w/e now
i mean that should've been an option for ages, but now they're using it more
in the past 5-10 years
True enough
I wish I got called by people trying to social engineer me
All I ever get is sales people
Sounds kinky
I don’t answer my phone
why
Why would I. Texting exists

why wouldn't you.
i very rarely pick up calls unless it's like really important, cause talking to people is hard when i can't see them lmao
I find you both infuriating because I hate it when people don't pick up and I fucking know they're there.
look man, I'm calling you because I have like eight things to ask and I don't wanna type eight things
fuck you for making me type eight things
lmao
i hate talking on the phone
i get fucking nervous when someone starts calling me without warning ok so shut yourself 
its not fun
@tame terrace please do. I can give you my secretaries number if you’d like to schedule a conference call
why would you text if you can call
i don't know english so my secretary shall introduce you to my translator
Why would you call when you can avoid social interaction
i need to give myself at least a minute of mental preparation before calling people, i just don't like it :D
Guys im using vivaldi web browser
And i themed it a bit
And you know when you right click on a web page you get that menu with copy paste refresh etc right? My probldm is that this right click menu doesn't look likd my vivaldi theme at all. It seems to depend from something else? Anybody see what I mean?
I never pick up because the person on the other end never shuts up
So what ends up happening is me ending the call midway through what they’re saying because I can’t be bothered what they have to say
Whether or not it’s good or bad
Family friends and about whatever
If it’s about something stupid I end the call quick
If it’s about something important maybe I’ll have a bit more tolerance
But what usually happens is they keep saying the same thing over and over just phrased differently
Or take super long to explain one thing
I just say "oh shit I gotta go be a dad now" when that kind of thing happens
the ultimate excuse
It’s just like
Person on the phone: says a bunch of shit I’m not paying attention to
Me: ok
Person on the phone: says more shit which is mainly just what they already said
Me: ok
Person on the phone: does it again
Me: hangs up with no notice
But yeah I guess if it’s something interesting slash important I have tolerance but it’s also like
I don’t want to be on the phone for 5 hours
One of my friends does something similar except they’re super savage and say “sorry you’re boring me bye”
Or pretend they’re losing reception
But yeah of course there’s always a reason for picking up your phone depends on the situation
It’s just me since I have a super low attention span
I used to bro
Well I do say it but only if the person and I both finish what we’re saying
If it’s midway through the other persons thought I used to say it but I just cbf anymore
Because I’d say “ok bye now” and they’d still keep talking
its nice to say bye
My ex grill used to want to talk like 6 hours a day on the phone. Biggest turn off ever.
Skype is better
skype is bloat
Actually, no, you're bloat Jason
lol
Yeah, don't presume to call me unless I like you.
skype is trash, basically since MS purchase.
it's also malware, in that it now has built int advertisements to the Windows OS.
junkware
@gentle moss
Advertising IS malware.
- unwanted.
- intrusive.
- manipulative.
- You have no choice, it comes in your OS.
- its a security risk
- you can't remove it
It's absolutely malware
it's there without your permission
What? No.
Did you put it there?
Did it install itself?
Can you remove it?
Is it suspect code?
Is it malicious?
I guess it depends on what you define malicious as
Also if you installed skype it didn't install itself
you agreed to it
how is forced manipulation, screen time, installed without permission, not malicious?
adware != malware
Sure, if you were given the choice to install it, it's just advertising software
it becomes malware when it prevents you from having a choice.
and does things that are manipulative
If you don't want the adverts that they bundle into their shit
don't install their shit
use something else
i mean it's spying the fuck out of everything
that's another form of malware
Telemetry is fucking everywhere
While it's not that cool, people want feedback on what people are doing with their software so they can "improve" it
yeah but skype and ms hold the bar for how crazy telemetry goes
i put that in quotes because Microsoft has never improved skype
ever.
it's a fucking tyre fire of a piece of software
but it's not malware :P
telemetry is just a euphemism for data harvesting
it is if it's preinstalled without permission, and cannot be removed.
i guess you didn't read the agreement before clicking okay
and especially if it does underhanded things without your knowledge.
@gentle moss I paid for the softwrae already.
Those agreements are coerced.
yeah it's still a user's choice. i agree with that.
You can't force someone to sign a contract or agree to terms, AFTER they have bought the software.
it's not valid.
poor folks using skype, they have no idea how good it used to be
skype was for purchase at some point?
just credit bs i thought
Yes, microsoft purchased it
ah i misunderstood him
Some other company built a brilliant p2p chat platform
and microsoft went
"what if we remove the p2p element and run everything through servers?"
p2p was a huge problem
"but isn't that the main point of skype? the p2p?"
"yes, but it'll be okay"
Skype's P2P could have some weird friction with netsplits and the like
but for the most part it was more reliable than skype is now
ehh reliability is not the problem in modern skype. it's everything else, basically.
I found the reliability to be poor, but the bloat doesn't help
what did u work as again bisk?
yeah
I love how every company glosses over that.
"You signed ouur agreement by installing"
bitch, I already paid for this software, you cannot demand I give you anything else to use it.
@gentle moss depends on the telemetry
Also, you paid for skype before downloading and installing it for free?
That's a weird argument man
clueless that is not how it works legally
So, when you sell things, you describe what it does, what it's FOR
if you do other things, its fraud
lol
you never bought 'skype' man
if skype is sold as "we help you chat with your friends" it's completely fraud to record conversations in the background.
on top of wiretapping laws
nah it's not fraud. it's all in the fine text
which is obviously meant to hide from the user
again, not legal or enforcable
you point to "super fine text" in a contract that's riduclous and a judge will throw you the hell out.
the user is not doing their due diligence then. it can't be called fraud because they were ignorant in the details of what they agreed to
yeaaaaah
the annoying part about EULA's is that they've not really been challenged in court
challenged how
ALSO, most countries consider "good faith" in a contract
even if it's all well and clear, there's usury laws, and if it's in bad faith, it still isn't necessary legal
yes, they're collecting that user data in bad faith as a way to try and help improve their services for users
OR they clearly state in the terms of service that they'll collect and sell to 3rd parties
the dev/company can and should decide what they expect users to agree to
which in th EU, thanks to GDPR, they have to highlight
in the circumstances that really matter anyway
bad faith is subjective
but wait, there's more!
Children cannot accept binding contracts.
Even if you inform people you sell to 3rd parties, there are wiretapping laws that require that both parties know they're being recorded.
they're not being recorded
yeah they are
children cannot use the software then, if they can't accept binding contracts and it is indeed one
They paid for the software already, of course they can use it.
the contract just isn't legal.
You cannot legally be prevented from using the product/service you already paid for
if they change it, don't use it if you don't like the new terms
that's not how it works.
Gotta have a user account before you can buy skype
annnnnnd
that requires you be able to agree to terms
if you're under the age required by skype (i believe 13) you should't be doing that
clueless if you were correct in the legal stuff, MS would be free ATM for people to sue
SWEET, so you've added on 50+ more pages of legal jargon that children aren't binded to
and are obscured
law has to be rigid and defined this way and that for a reason. children should be banned from skype then, right? lets be pragmatic about this
the same way people have treated me as "entitled", this entire conversation is about how companies try to trick you and feel entitled to try to hold you to bad faith contracts
you feel entitled to use skype without respecting what is agreed to in the fine print
don't you see both sides here?
so sue
that's both sides.
free money
I don't have the money to sue.
if your case is good enough, lawyers will still take it...
but it's not
lawyer's will laugh at you
relying on the state to protect me is a long, hard, arduous process, not to mention if corporations have bought the state, then you're fighting to lose.
they'll laugh at you because it's unbalanced completely against you
It's really simple.
Don't do shit you didn't advertise as your product.
Be up front about what it does any why.
the 'state' is the one who has failed to uphold their ultimate duty of law and justice when they crony and sleep with all the companies offering big gov 'employees'
"Basic Video Conferencing Functions"
"We collect purely anonymous statistical data"
vs, "oh, we reord who you are and who you talk to"
Oh sure. My point is that all this bogus "contract law" and "terms of service" or "agreements" people act like you should respect with various companies, is all bogus.
These companies are purely machines made to collect/hoard control, power, and money.
they are by far the worst offender of mass surveillance.
why is government different @knotty summit
they don't do what you mentioned?
@candid anvil the premise of government is to represent a nation's people. It's not merely a collection of power, it has a purpose.
"collect/hoard control, power, and money", hah go to washington lol. you have no idea
sure, a purpose
means nothing
only actions speak in this context
intentions != results
you're basically preaching to me that I have no social obligation to follow the law.
(and I agree)
i'm just saying the gov is not the good guy you think here, and all big bad corps ruining it all
Oh, not at all. I don't think the government is the good guy.
they are the worst here
People are fucking stupid, and the government is made of people, so.
they aren't stupid, they just don't care for virtue or morality.
thinking they are stupid is exactly what they want you to think
instead of malicious
I'm stupid often myself.
50% of people are below average intelligence.
and most people have varying interests, so even if you have 50% smart people, it might only be like 10% that care to do things right.
think of it like filtering a population.
"smart" "good" "law" "experience" "interest", 7 billion quickly filters down to like, a dozen.
all subjective except for law, mostly.
well, my intention isn't to just bitch in the wind. How do you think we can be produtive?
How can we set good example, precedent, be involved?
Perhaps we can make good free software. Set the baselin expectation of what good software looks like. 😃
in what software?
open source
no telemetry
code for free, if you are so much focused on being 'good' or whatever
and ofc hold gov accountable for their actions and fuckups but that's well beyond one person's effort, or even thousands
nice
one reason I'm hre is that I need to improve certain skills to be more effective.
yeah, kind of implied tho man
Ahm
It's more about not letting the wrong people than finding the right people
The comments are always enlightening
Apparently Bernie introduced a new law "Stop BEZOS"
Did anyone see the Amazon anti-union video for supervisors?
No
Probably the same every company shows
Following in the footsteps of companies like Lowes, Target, and Walmart, Amazon has produced their own, in-house anti-union video for managers at the company...
I am 50% german
wrong channel
thats from the video?
that's so cartoonishly evil i have a hard time believing it's real
yeah according to https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2018/09/amazons-aggressive-anti-union-tactics-revealed-in-leaked-45-minute-video/
T.I.P.S. are the tactics Amazon advises management not to use, according to the video. (Screenshot: Amazon training video, Amazon)
ok that makes more sense tho
lol was worried there - i rarely actually look at the article, but in this case i figured i should
@sullen thorn do they explicitly explain those tactics, then just tell them not to use it?
idk, i watched a different part of the video
thats just a screenshot the article had
f u
lol
They're not wrong
DBAs are among the highest paid, if not the highest paid, specialties in tech
Next to my job anyways
🙄
Bought little notebook with AMD A-350.
Aspire 5250.
With a new battery this little fella was able to stay up and running for 6 hours decoding x264 720p videos.
I am proud of him.
But there's a problem.
He barely can get his hold on web surfing.
Even Firefox squeezes all the juices out of him.
Lynx works fine. But I am not really used to it.
Midori crashes all the time.
Do any of you guys knows what browser I can make to work with this little guy?
Linux.
Firefox is not that heavier than Opera.
And Opera as I've heard is a some sort of Chrome mod or smh.
lol
@granite lake but you have to include student loans
Woah wait @tame pier DBAs are the highest paid?
How high we talking?
Cuz I really like databases (at least for now)
DBAs probably aren't the highest paid programmers
highest paid is probably fintech
those few people who can make succesful stock trading algorithms
consistently and at scale
either at a bank, a fund or a proprietary trading firm
Lmao.
I think highest paid in general.
Not 100 or smh people in the whole world.
there are probably a few thousands algo traders
IDK exact numbers
but ye DBA is a much more common job
I worked at Russian Walmart in IT. And yeah. DBA was paid there not really well. Better than tech support which I did, but not so much.
TBH the few DBA guys that I met didn't make huge $ either
But I knew a guy who worked at a bank and he was getting all the roubles.
But he was senior over there.
I think DBA considered "high paid" because there are banks and oil that needs it.
if its a rly big, critical database ye
makes sense that it would pay well
for python, statisticians do well too, and econometrics guys
my frend works in economics consultancy and he does some python for stats
he uses Stata the most though and a bit of R
but eventually more and more Sata and R models will be ported to python
which will be nice 😄
Still. DBA is something that not going to go away soon.
Although I think youngsters should invest some time and consider some AI and machine learning skills.
In 10 or so years it's going to be main IT business.
@sullen thorn I don't have averages or anything at hand thats what Google is for ;)
DBAs have great job security, and experienced ones are highly paid. As with any profession, you're not going to be paid nearly as much starting out, but if you are good at it and build up experience you'll end up in a very good place.
🤔
for you maybe
that's going to piss off some nerds
vpns
Is there any logical reason for a doctor not being a man triggering nerds?
And... That's all?
yes
humans are petty sometimes
i mean it's being from another level of existence that regenerates into a new human form everytime it dies
OF COURSE IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A MAN
women couldn't use a screwdriver
duh
yeah, probably on my trip to NYC
bisk is going to NYC
Why would anyone want to visit NYC?

some people from this discord an in NYC
Culture in NYC?
OH I MEMBER
NYC has some nice art galleries and shit
SF?
well, i've always felt more attached to NYC than LA or SF
I thought that SF is the poshiest place in the US.
Poshiest.
It is not a word.
Isn't it?
no probably upper-Manhattan is poshest
Movie charm?
And sewer smell feels just like home.
Seriously though there's a bunch of cool stuff in NYC and i fancy checking it out
london doesn't have sewer smell at all
also trying to get onto one of the late night shows
Ahah.
I've been watching The Daily Show for over 10 years :3
Let me introduce you British born American, ladies and gentlemen.
British TV is somewhat better to me
Like all the panel shows.
America does some TV better than the UK
UK handles a lot of shit better than the US
Comedy is a sticking point for a lot of people
but i mean there's plenty of good US comedy
i think the problem is there's so much and most of it is wank
I don't watch all their TV, just a bunch of the late night stuff which is usually politically focused
But recent stuff is not so funny imo.
US satire is far better than UK at the moment
SNL is hit and miss tbh
Favouring the misses
They got carried away with political agenda kinda.
However Baldwin's Trump is on point imo.
I swear they lost a load of good writers and stuff at one point
because people use it as a launch pad
ooooooooh
Dr. Who just made a subversive women can't run because of tits joke
👌
Yeah. Lots of good US comedians came out of SNL.
@gentle moss in case you're looking for something to jam along to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbnbBYQEd1M
that game is great
lol
i wonder if they have a clause to prevent being sued for screwups like that
https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-upgrades-microsoft-sued-for-millions-over-lost-data-and-damaged-pcs/ hmm well it's not the first time
Well shit
C'mon MS test your shit
They must've changed something without pushing it to insiders Fast
apparently insiders had been reporting the issue for months before release
lol
they just slipped through the cracks or something
It happened to me
Something deleted itself
I hope I don't lose my assignments
😦
two words: google. docs.
From following their devs, they definitely have testing
IMO they're trying to move too fast
They need longer periods of testing
No, vulnerabilities are independent of releases
i read a post about how it was actually an issue with their feedback submission method that didnt let the insiders reporting data loss get enough attention
