| 04:49.00 | ``Erik | nice, colbert just figured out how to straight up say "sarah palin is a fucking retard" on tv |
| 04:55.39 | starseeker | heh |
| 04:55.58 | starseeker | hopes Nohla isn't annoyed with us... |
| 05:04.35 | ``Erik | was a ping out, probably connectivity issues |
| 05:05.36 | starseeker | nods |
| 05:05.45 | starseeker | I got Xcode, where do I get automake? |
| 05:06.07 | ``Erik | grab macports |
| 05:06.46 | ``Erik | (osX comes with an old automake...) |
| 05:07.30 | ``Erik | huh, 10.5 comes with 1.10, nifty |
| 05:07.40 | starseeker | ah, crud, too old version of XCode |
| 05:07.52 | ``Erik | in theory, BRL-CAD should compile with just Xcode, no need for anything extra |
| 05:07.56 | starseeker | looks for correct one... |
| 05:08.10 | starseeker | got version 2.5, didn't have automake in it |
| 05:08.15 | starseeker | need 3.1.4 apparently |
| 05:08.18 | starseeker | hunts |
| 05:08.20 | ``Erik | but when you start wanting things like, y'know, a reasonably modern emacs, subversion, darcs, etc... macports gives ya something to use |
| 05:08.30 | ``Erik | what version of osX are you using? |
| 05:09.06 | ``Erik | upgraded his work machine from 10.4 to 10.5 to get the updated xcode to continue to use macports :/ |
| 05:09.28 | starseeker | 10.5.8 |
| 05:10.11 | starseeker | just didn't look hard enough at the requirements page for macports |
| 05:10.29 | starseeker | (well, they say third time's the charm...) |
| 05:10.30 | ``Erik | ok, I'm using 3.1.2 on 10.5.8 |
| 05:10.41 | starseeker | ok, cool |
| 05:11.00 | ``Erik | (odd, I found it quite difficult to find something OTHER than the most recent on the site) |
| 05:11.25 | starseeker | this'll all be moot if my replacement from newegg gets here, but judging by the weather forecasts I'd better get this thing up to compiling par... |
| 05:11.48 | starseeker | ``Erik: so did I, except for some reason it was giving me the 10.6 version by default |
| 05:11.53 | starseeker | which didn't install |
| 05:12.18 | ``Erik | yeh, I do vagually recall that issue, dun 'member why I did to work around it :/ |
| 05:12.39 | starseeker | I'm sure Apple's take on things is "why is anyone using anything except 10.6...) |
| 05:12.45 | ``Erik | newegg? I've been thinking about making a 'high performance' x86 for fbsd fun and video games O.o |
| 05:13.04 | ``Erik | didja see that firefox is dropping support for 10.4, removing the code required and all? |
| 05:13.22 | starseeker | yeah - that's a bit of a shock |
| 05:13.42 | starseeker | 1 that they're dropping it, and 2 that it takes a lot of special code |
| 05:14.34 | ``Erik | <-- wonders if it uses cocoa or carbon O.o |
| 05:15.13 | ``Erik | I could envison firefox/mozilla using carbon to 'stick with c++' and apple trying to kill off carbon apps to force people to 'the one true way' |
| 05:15.20 | ``Erik | envision |
| 05:18.16 | ``Erik | (c++ really is oh so wrong for so many reasons *cough* *duck* :D ) |
| 05:20.57 | starseeker | hehe |
| 05:21.11 | starseeker | the first and foremost being "it's not Lisp!" |
| 05:21.44 | ``Erik | oh, I'm ok with objc, I like smalltalk, CLOS is both scary and nifty |
| 05:21.58 | starseeker | is sad to see Oracle laying off folks doing work to support visually impared users in Gnome... |
| 05:22.01 | ``Erik | favors java to c++ :/ |
| 05:22.11 | starseeker | O.o |
| 05:22.53 | starseeker | and you complain about the Docbook stuff... - can you imagine compiling all of Java for a BRL-CAD build? |
| 05:23.07 | ``Erik | yeah... actually... |
| 05:23.30 | ``Erik | that's why I'm talking about writing some code for the project upstairs, to provide a language agnostic network protocol |
| 05:23.50 | ``Erik | cuz I'm nto about to add java to my dang bsd servers |
| 05:23.59 | starseeker | ah |
| 05:24.07 | ``Erik | I'm a bit annoyed that they have g++ o.O |
| 05:24.22 | starseeker | <snort> Qt still rocks |
| 05:24.36 | starseeker | and for our purposes, opennurbs REALLY rocks |
| 05:24.44 | ``Erik | oh, and I got all excited when bsd eliminated perl from the base system, only to find that some of the very first ports ya install require perl somewhere |
| 05:25.12 | starseeker | ow |
| 05:25.30 | starseeker | wouldn't be TOO sorry to see perl kinda just die off... |
| 05:25.39 | starseeker | talk about mind bending scripts |
| 05:25.58 | ``Erik | I beleive the politically correct term is "write only" |
| 05:26.13 | ``Erik | only an idjit would try to read perl :> *duck* |
| 05:26.46 | starseeker | still wants to see someone do a test of feeding line noise into compilers and see which one results in the most legal instructions generated |
| 05:27.23 | ``Erik | brainfuck. |
| 05:27.29 | starseeker | heh |
| 05:27.59 | ``Erik | nothing is more than 1 character, and anything not explicitely handled a comment... |
| 05:28.15 | ``Erik | feeding it random line noise is literally an exercise of the halting problem... :D |
| 05:28.28 | ``Erik | to match the [ and ] commands |
| 05:28.45 | ``Erik | (loop construct) |
| 05:29.21 | starseeker | so the approach is to hook up the radio telescopes to a compiler and see if a GOD program gets compiled :-P |
| 05:29.45 | ``Erik | heh, do it! |
| 05:30.00 | ``Erik | want a bf compiler? I wrote one O.o |
| 05:30.27 | starseeker | ``Erik: the real money would be to sell the idea to the next guy tring to write a Contact wannabe book |
| 05:31.10 | ``Erik | heh |
| 05:31.40 | ``Erik | kinda a lame premise to start with... |
| 05:32.17 | starseeker | well, it's what people want to hear |
| 05:33.15 | ``Erik | I'd imagine that if FTL capable species were around, then life would be pretty plentiful and no one would give a rats ass about our mudball full of retards too busy killing eachother and claiming we're alone... |
| 05:33.21 | starseeker | hehe - here's a problem that needs formal methods: http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/02/08/toyota.recalls/index.html?hpt=Sbin |
| 05:33.58 | ``Erik | I mean, if you saw a homeless dude beating his head on the wall downtown,w ould you stop and say hi? |
| 05:34.35 | starseeker | ``Erik: I guess it depends... there's no guarantee aliens would be any smarter than us |
| 05:35.13 | starseeker | the bad news is we'd most likely have the "bottom of the barrel" aliens who have issues coming to mess with us |
| 05:36.25 | ``Erik | if extraterrestrials were as dumb as us, they wouldn't have FTL, right? assuming FTL is even possible |
| 05:36.42 | Ralith | is that a function of intelligence, or of time? |
| 05:37.04 | ``Erik | if FTL isn't possible, then ya hit hte realm of generational or stasis ships, and stopping by to say high would be ... stupid |
| 05:37.25 | ``Erik | ralith? |
| 05:38.09 | starseeker | maybe even someone as dumb as us will stumble on FTL in 100000 years |
| 05:38.31 | starseeker | plus, you don't have to be smart enough to invent the technology in order to use the technology |
| 05:38.36 | ``Erik | yeh, luck factor, or mebbe tomorrow... *shrug* |
| 05:39.10 | starseeker | envisions "green trash" aliens with souped up spaceships crusing around the universe |
| 05:39.17 | ``Erik | uh, there was a theoretical physicist talking about how to generate a zomfg star trek style warp drive and it was physically possible |
| 05:39.32 | ``Erik | the killer was that it'd require more energy than there is in a galaxy to power |
| 05:39.44 | starseeker | yeah, that kinda sucks |
| 05:40.53 | ``Erik | (even if humans did come up with FTL tomorrow... would it be applied in any non-idiotic way? I'd doubt it...) |
| 05:41.47 | ``Erik | too many people in positions of power can't think past the next quarter or next term election O.o BUT I'm NOT BITTER!!@~!@~! |
| 05:42.19 | starseeker | yeah - "FTL?? that's not profitable in the next quarter, why would we fund that?" |
| 05:42.52 | starseeker | or "can you break 'species survival' into quantifiable deliverables?" |
| 05:44.06 | starseeker | would so love to see both parties get gutted and replaced next go-around, just to shake off the dust... |
| 05:44.22 | ``Erik | hm, with the whole week off... I think I'm gonna get some heavy cleaning done and get quite a bit moving on my little arm computer O.o |
| 05:44.32 | starseeker | hehe, cool |
| 05:45.02 | starseeker | should probably sleep now... |
| 05:45.18 | ``Erik | I somehow doubt that 'jettison all politicians and "blind faith" party members into the nearest massive ancient nuclear explosion' is a viable plan |
| 05:45.42 | starseeker | entertaining though |
| 05:45.59 | ``Erik | yeh |
| 05:46.16 | ``Erik | <-- ponders building up an argument on why mike is anti-american to shake him up some |
| 05:46.43 | starseeker | Lifting that much mass though - oof. Something with so much density may be impossible to lift off of Earth's surface |
| 05:46.58 | ``Erik | see, here's where I'm confused |
| 05:47.05 | starseeker | is there anything denser than "blind faith" voters? |
| 05:47.15 | ``Erik | how can they have such dense skulls if there's nothing in them? |
| 05:47.25 | starseeker | yeah, it is interesting isn't it |
| 05:47.48 | starseeker | ``Erik: I've never seen mike successfully shaken up, but it would be an interesting exercise |
| 05:48.09 | ``Erik | yeh, I was pondering vectors this evening |
| 05:48.58 | ``Erik | mostly hinged on declaring him anti-american... I got into a mental gymnastics roll after seeing what palin went and did |
| 05:49.45 | starseeker | <PROTECTED> |
| 05:49.49 | ``Erik | good thing pat changed projects, she might be liable to stab me if I went off like that infront of her :> |
| 05:49.59 | ``Erik | yeah, the, uh, 'teabaggers'... |
| 05:50.24 | starseeker | you actually had the fortitude to watch her? I'm impressed |
| 05:50.37 | ``Erik | clips on daily show and colbert report |
| 05:50.46 | starseeker | ah, the only safe context :-) |
| 05:51.10 | ``Erik | hey, daily show won an award for reporting... which is amusing, since they're a comedy show, not a news show |
| 05:51.48 | starseeker | ``Erik: the most irritating thing about the current situation is that NO party is or wants to be dealing with solving the hard problems |
| 05:52.18 | ``Erik | of course not, it's a lot easier to scream 'terror!!!!' and collect votes in 2 years |
| 05:52.30 | ``Erik | hard problems last longer than a term :/ |
| 05:52.38 | starseeker | They can't propose to cut this or raise taxes on that, since voters want all services and no taxes |
| 05:52.52 | ``Erik | and tend to be poorly portrayed, I think |
| 05:53.07 | ``Erik | here's one of the sick observations I've had recently... |
| 05:53.21 | starseeker | and you get more votes by maintaining that status quo - hard truths != more votes :-/ |
| 05:53.27 | ``Erik | nationalizing health care in the US will probably improve quality and lower taxes. |
| 05:53.59 | starseeker | nods - unless it's totally bungled I suspect that's true |
| 05:54.36 | ``Erik | the core thing that SHOULD be addressed is the gov't is providing artificial protections for abusive profiteering |
| 05:55.11 | starseeker | a hybrid approach to health care would be nationalizing research into treatments, but private compeition on things like pill production |
| 05:55.13 | ``Erik | SO, either remote the gov't monopolization incentives, or place constraints in exchange for those monopoly privs |
| 05:55.25 | ``Erik | s/remote/remove/ |
| 05:55.58 | starseeker | the fundamental problem is that health care is not a profit/loss game |
| 05:56.44 | ``Erik | there was a graph I saw that had life expectancy, dr office visits per year and cost per year per capita all in one interesting graph, the us was by far the most expensive and one of the worse services |
| 05:57.00 | starseeker | yep |
| 05:57.08 | ``Erik | should dig that up, thinks he saw it on hackernews |
| 05:57.23 | starseeker | here's one thing I've not seen anywhere - WHERE is all the money actually GOING? |
| 05:57.43 | ``Erik | executive bonuses and campaign donations, dur |
| 05:57.49 | starseeker | it's a huge portion of our national yearly expenses - OK, let's follow that money and see where it actually ends up |
| 05:57.52 | starseeker | <snort> |
| 05:57.55 | starseeker | yeah, probably |
| 05:58.47 | starseeker | to me, without that info, all the health care debates where primarly a combination of a few obvious principles that shouldn't be matters of debate and a lot of uninformed noise |
| 05:59.40 | ``Erik | yeh, both sides ignoring the pink elephant |
| 05:59.56 | starseeker | wants a genie bottle so he can wish for eduated, informed, critically thinking voters |
| 06:00.01 | ``Erik | in the room |
| 06:00.10 | ``Erik | move to sweden? heh Oo |
| 06:00.12 | ``Erik | O.o |
| 06:00.14 | ``Erik | :D *duck* |
| 06:00.24 | starseeker | heh - point |
| 06:00.31 | starseeker | need to specify US |
| 06:01.45 | ``Erik | I d'no, sweden and finland have some damn hot girls |
| 06:02.03 | ``Erik | and fiber to every house, and good health care, and low crime rates, and ... |
| 06:02.33 | ``Erik | just gotta say "borkborkbork" a lot |
| 06:02.43 | starseeker | O.o |
| 06:03.33 | ``Erik | I think cats have a special 6th sense that helps them determine the exact center of the area you hope to occupy |
| 06:03.56 | starseeker | lol |
| 06:03.59 | starseeker | no question |
| 06:04.38 | starseeker | well, gotta get some rest - mad dash to stores, assuming they ever finished plowing the road |
| 06:04.56 | ``Erik | heh, good luck with that O.o I'm staying put for the next week. |
| 06:05.39 | starseeker | didn't stock up for a week - apparently those people with loaded carts were more up on things than I was |
| 06:07.06 | ``Erik | heh |
| 06:07.11 | ``Erik | I have about of month of food |
| 06:07.31 | ``Erik | hit the store last wednesday, and again today |
| 06:08.29 | ``Erik | and managed to drive my car through exactly what I saw a 4wd truck get stuck in, good thing I cut my teeth on gravel and snow back in washington learning to drive O.o |
| 06:09.41 | ``Erik | the noise of hitting stuff with the bottom of that car, though... sucks ass... and the leg cramps after the 1.5 or so miles of clutch work, owwww |

| 20:01.45 | starseeker | drive was OK once on major roads |
| 20:02.06 | starseeker | getting out was mindly annoying - getting in will be where the real fun is |
| 20:02.52 | ``Erik | like bob mentioned, with an auto, the trick is to apply a little break while still moving to shift the wheels both back into drive |
| 20:03.12 | ``Erik | if'n ya move the gas pedal more than, y'know, a quarter inch, you're probably doing it wrong |
| 20:03.28 | starseeker | nods |
| 20:03.59 | ``Erik | um, in neutral, slooooowwly put pressure on the gas pedal, the second you hear the engine wind up, tha'ts the most pedal you should use in heavy snow |
| 20:04.08 | ``Erik | like, change rpm at all |
| 20:05.21 | ``Erik | if you had a clutch, tha'td be another control variable... but ya don't... O.o |
| 20:05.35 | starseeker | prefers dry pavement |
| 20:05.53 | ``Erik | isn't sure he touched his gas pedal at all until he was on good enough ground to contemplate second gear |
| 20:06.03 | ``Erik | other than pop revs to warm the engine up a bit |
| 20:06.29 | ``Erik | or adolescent showboating, take your pick |
| 20:07.25 | starseeker | some of the hills where I live, idle won't move the car up them - haven't calculated it, but it's entirely possible that any force sufficient to climb the hill, given the weight of the car, would be too much for the slush under the worst conditions |
| 20:08.02 | ``Erik | wants to drive hard on warm dry asphalt or cement to see what the difference is... kinda imagines that snow is like a very very slow version of high speed track |
| 20:08.18 | ``Erik | yeh, I had to go ballstic for a bit |
| 20:08.33 | ``Erik | scary as hell, getting that much speed up, but I brrrrrrly cleared the hill |
| 20:08.48 | ``Erik | (and it is pretty much ballistic at that point) |
| 20:09.05 | starseeker | heard a story from one of the neighbors about a time when a school bus crested the hill and ended up in the field at the end of the street |
| 20:09.48 | ``Erik | traction control flashing, etc... then was all freaked out cuz there was a truck coming so I couldn't safely run the light at 1mph... ended up geting infront of him anyways |
| 20:10.04 | starseeker | yeek |
| 20:10.21 | ``Erik | not the first time I ran that sign to avoid being stuck... fortunately, he was going very slow, too |
| 20:11.40 | ``Erik | cresting is especially dangerous, you reduce the down force, further reducing any traction you may've had |
| 20:12.38 | ``Erik | if the physic geek can correlate the controls to the ground, there's an advantage... so if you can learn that the gas pedal is not a boolean input device, there's hope! |
| 20:13.58 | starseeker | that also requires muscular control of the foot petal that may be beyond my dexterity |
| 20:15.06 | ``Erik | heh |
| 20:15.16 | ``Erik | hm, was spposed to start snowing at about noon, it's still not |
| 20:15.26 | starseeker | works for me |
| 20:15.43 | ``Erik | shoulda taken the drivers seat when ya got mudded in :> |
| 20:15.52 | starseeker | indeed |
| 20:16.08 | starseeker | but then we wouldn't have gotten Bob all mud splattered before his demo |
| 20:16.28 | ``Erik | nah, but we'd have gotten you mud splattered ;> |
| 20:16.44 | starseeker | is sorry he missed some of the other car extraction efforts that must have gone on down there |
| 20:16.53 | starseeker | judging from the terrain, I wasn't the only one |
| 20:17.13 | ``Erik | the red van was a lost cause, I think the owner got a ride from someone else |
| 20:17.50 | ``Erik | they were fighting to remove it as bob pulled out and left... he wasn't about to offer and I guess they didn't ask O.o |
| 20:17.51 | starseeker | anticipates a nice round of it after this snow melts - that'll be some very wet grond |
| 20:17.58 | ``Erik | was a bit irritating, they were blocking my way out that day :) |
| 20:18.01 | starseeker | heh |
| 20:18.25 | ``Erik | the lot on the other side of the amsaa building almost always has spots on asphalt... |
| 20:18.42 | starseeker | that's where I am today - very last one in the corner |
| 20:19.19 | ``Erik | are bob or daytona in? |
| 20:19.45 | starseeker | Bob's in |
| 20:19.55 | starseeker | daytona? |
| 20:20.13 | ``Erik | yeh, old guy, glasses... upstairs... comes to lunch with us a lot... sometimes goes by john |
| 20:20.20 | starseeker | ah - dunno |
| 20:21.04 | ``Erik | well, would bob be interested in helping me with a tree? I have an eastern red ceder I think, it might not survive, mebbe 12-14', might have t be cut down and hauled to the lawn waste thingie |
| 20:21.30 | ``Erik | unless someone wnats it for firewood or, y'know, guitar wood and it can't be saved |
| 20:21.31 | starseeker | will ask |
| 20:21.48 | starseeker | could line a closet with it... |
| 20:22.22 | ``Erik | if the tree is a goner, I'd like to give it to someone who could use it instead of paying to have it taken away, y'know? |
| 20:24.25 | ``Erik | (btw, eastern red cedar is NOT cedar, it's a tree-like version of a juniper bush) |
| 20:24.55 | starseeker | ah |
| 20:24.57 | starseeker | pity |
| 20:25.09 | ``Erik | it's a lovely decorative tree |
| 20:25.27 | starseeker | can you just cut it down if it has to be cut, and then haul it after the snow is gone? |
| 20:25.44 | starseeker | (says he might be able to help - probably better talk to him direct) |
