rick_h_I might have to get a new hero in life https://github.com/RedTuna/breadability/commits/master11:06
snap-lwhy? because the old heroes taste awesome on a bed of sushi rice with a hint of wasabee and soy?11:14
snap-lnote: have not read actual link. :)11:17
rick_h_well look at the link11:17
snap-lWow, nice.11:26
rick_h_yea, I'll have to test that out but was on my todo list11:35
brouschMy Thinkpad T420 came12:16
brouschGood stuff so far12:16
rick_h_whoa of the morning http://paste.mitechie.com/show/818/12:19
rick_h_brousch: welcome to the brotherhood!12:19
brouschI used Thinkpads from 2002 - 200812:19
rick_h_oh, well welcome back to the brotherhood12:19
brouschThanks!12:21
brousch1600x900 is nice12:21
snap-lbittorrent for deployments? Interesting12:22
snap-lI would not have considered that an option12:22
snap-lMakes sense for them, though. THey have lots of peers and a butt-ton of data to get through12:23
brouschgeez12:23
brouschoooh, 4 cores in this i512:26
rick_h_yea, I remember back when they compiled their whole app into a 1GB and rsync'd12:26
rick_h_moving to bittorrent is kind of cool12:26
rick_h_so man, I'm feeling all open sourcy today. A guy is working on py3'ing breadability and I'm going out to lansing to meet a bookie fanboi from Germany this weekend.12:28
snap-lrick_h_: Ah, right. That'll be sweet.12:29
snap-lbtw: the Chrome Extension needs reauth when moving between versions12:29
snap-lI noticed that at work and home. None of my stuff would work.12:29
rick_h_snap-l: between versinos of the extension?12:29
snap-lBetween Chrome 22 and prior12:30
rick_h_snap-l: so setting up the options data?12:30
brouschBut where will Py3 breadability be run?12:30
rick_h_brousch: on my laptop to start soon. I've got to upgrade to 12.1012:30
rick_h_with 3.3 out I really want to start getting stuff over12:31
brouschI mean no webhosts have py3 support12:31
rick_h_and it'll be time to undertake...bookie for py312:31
snap-lAre the changes he made backward compatible with 2.7?12:31
rick_h_meh, I run all my own servers12:31
rick_h_snap-l: I don't know yet. I've got to look over it. Just caught the changes in my rss feed this morning12:31
snap-lBecause I like the except as e syntax12:31
brouschI thought it was on heroku12:31
rick_h_brousch: well it also runs on heroku I guess in the readable app12:32
jrwren_snap-l: blizzard has been using bittorrent for deployments for years.13:12
jrwren_i just learned of this last year with starcraft2 updates.13:13
snap-ljrwren_: Iknew they were using it for updates, but wasn't aware of a datacenter using it13:15
snap-lbut it makes perfect sense in retrospect.13:15
snap-lhttp://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-DragonFly-Asynchronous-Digital-Audio-Converter/dp/B00882U78213:17
snap-lSaw this in BBC Music. Looks mildly interesting, though I'm not sure it's all that "awesome" running through a 3.5" jack.13:17
jrwren_cool that bittorrent works for htem.13:18
jrwren_at some point i wonder if they will out scale that and go to multicast13:18
jrwren_$254?!?!?!? wtf.13:18
snap-ljrwren_: Audiophile: One who pays money to listen to their music more carefully than the casual listener.13:19
rick_h_DAC's aren't cheap13:19
jrwren_dac's are DIRT cheap13:20
rick_h_not good ones13:20
snap-lGood DACs are more expensive13:20
rick_h_I was looking at them a while ago for podcast stuff13:20
snap-lbut yeah, we're talking $, not $$$13:20
jrwren_i'm glad my ears aren't that good.13:20
jrwren_althought, i have heard bad dac before, was listening to flac adn comparing to CD. it should have sounded same, but the flac sounded terrible. it was the soundcard. :(13:21
snap-lWhat I love is Neil Young's crusade to get more people to listen to lossless audio13:22
snap-lbut he goes off the rails by using something that isn't FLAC.13:22
snap-ljrwren_: There's a big difference between CD player sound and CDRom sound13:23
jrwren_it wasn't cdrom13:24
jrwren_what does he use? shorten? shorten is nice too13:24
snap-lIt was something I'd not heard of before13:24
jrwren_apple lossless?:)13:24
snap-lbut it's 24 / 9613:24
jrwren_meh13:25
snap-lPno13:25
snap-lpono13:25
rick_h_yea, pono stuff13:25
snap-lSorry, 192 / 2413:26
snap-lI can see this being another backdoor DRM bullshit system13:27
rick_h_oh come on, all the record labels are on board to resell you all your digital music again13:28
snap-lWhy not use FLAC, which already has name recognition as being superior audio13:29
snap-lBut hey, Pono. Rhymes with Bono.13:29
rick_h_because pono is the same sampling/etc of the studio13:29
rick_h_that's supposedly the goal with it13:29
snap-lAnd FLAC can do that.13:29
snap-lhttp://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html13:30
jrwren_snap-l++13:41
jrwren_"Of course you can trust your ears. It's brains that are gullible. I don't mean that flippantly; as human beings, we're all wired that way.13:41
snap-lYeah, I've done A/B compares on remastered versions of albums. I'm as gullible as the rest at times. :)13:53
snap-lTime to check the couch cushions: http://www.jagsreport.com/2012/10/goldman-sachs-lowers-alcatel-lucent-to-conviction-sell-alu/14:58
jrwren_why? they are a worthless company.15:03
jrwren_everything of value is long sold, all IP is sold and any employees worth anything are long gone.15:04
jrwren_that company should have died a long time ago15:04
snap-lhttp://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/10/02/this-just-in-upgrades-and-downgrades.aspx15:04
snap-ljrwren_: Yeah, we could buy it with pocket change15:04
snap-lthen sue everyone with the patents15:04
snap-lPROFIT15:04
jrwren_even at $1/share it is still 2B Market cap :(15:05
jrwren_they don't have patents, they sold them all already.15:05
snap-lTo who? I thought they still had 'em.15:05
jrwren_pretty sure to nearly everyone.15:05
jrwren_unsure about the alcatel IP, but lucent IP was sold AFAIK15:06
jrwren_you may be right though.15:07
snap-lI think they licensed, but I could be wrong15:07
jrwren_Lucent spun off a lot of IP when they spun off Avaya15:07
jrwren_same with Agere15:08
snap-lOh yeah, they've been hemoraging15:08
jrwren_but that was 10 yrs ago15:08
jrwren_so the aquisitions over the last 10 yrs might be good.15:08
jrwren_lightRadio looks promising.15:08
snap-lYeah, but they're betting the company on it15:09
snap-land unfortunately the telecoms have frozen spending15:09
jrwren_yup15:09
jrwren_google should buy 'em :)15:10
snap-lThey could definitely afford 'em15:10
jrwren_18B in revenue, 6B in debt15:11
jrwren_but at least they are profitable15:11
jrwren_whoa... why is ALU so undervalued?15:11
jrwren_the fundametals looks reasonable.15:11
jrwren_.56 of book!!!15:11
jrwren_.13/$1 for sales.15:12
snap-lcash burn15:12
jrwren_CRAZY15:12
snap-lthey're bleeding it15:12
snap-lThat was the mantra the whole time I was there15:12
jrwren_that was long ago wasn' tit?15:13
jrwren_http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/10/02/is-alcatel-lucent-destined-for-greatness.aspx15:13
snap-lNot that long ago. Left at the end of last year.15:13
jrwren_ah.15:13
jrwren_well, just based on the numbrers, good mgmt could turn that ship around.15:14
snap-lGod, Flash is a real piece of shit in Google Plus15:14
jrwren_flash is ALWAYS a real piece of shit.15:14
jrwren_google plus is a piece of shit for using it.15:14
snap-lIt's even worse now15:14
jrwren_but google plus works well without flash15:14
snap-lYeah, I just disabled Flash (push to play)15:21
brouschgreg-g: Are you familiar with ARMA?16:22
greg-gbrousch: I'm going to guess not since I'm not recognizing the acronym17:14
brouschAssoc of Records Management PRos17:15
brouschSounded like library stuff to me17:15
greg-gbrousch: ah, well, I went to school with people who are no doubt a member of that association17:20
greg-gbrousch: but, I steered clear of Archives and Records Management17:20
greg-ghuh, getting some weird packet loss with the new router18:25
greg-g(no, openwrt isn't installed on it yet)18:25
snap-lhttp://imgur.com/E16Ea <- Oh Microsoft21:11

greg-gwow, offlineimap sure has deteriorated in quality since John Goerzen stopped maintaining it22:23
