cmaloneyhttps://www.fitbit.com/us/toryburch11:38

cmaloneyAnd people say I'm hard to shop for. :)11:38
cmaloney(Note: I really think these are gaudy)11:39
jrwrenlol @ debian testing.13:10
nullspacerick_h__: how goes it working with a Apple laptop?13:28
rick_h__nullspace: don't know, done with it :)13:28
jrwrenO_O13:29
jrwrenwhat did you do with it?13:29
rick_h__well it's sitting under a pile of bills atm13:29
rick_h__on my second desk13:29
rick_h__not qa'ing anything in safari/osx atm :)13:29
jrwrenso sad.   <3 mine.13:29
rick_h__ugh, hate that dippy thing.13:29
jrwrendippy?13:30
cmaloneyYou have to understand that MacOS X is not rick_h__ approved.13:30
rick_h__nor is that keyboard, or screen, or touchpad, or ...13:30
rick_h__dippy is a more playful stupid :)13:30
jrwrenif the pci webcam worked in linux, it would be fully featured. I really like it.13:30
rick_h__don't be so dippy!13:30
rick_h__yea, that's a deal killer for me13:30
jrwrenok, making sure I wasn't missing some awesome dippy feature :)13:30
rick_h__so now just hating on this xps1313:31
rick_h__though I did hook up the air to my 'misc' display and use it for lightroom when I got back from the 4th holiday13:31
cmaloneyI'm surprised the X230 hasn't made a return13:32
rick_h__lack of working mic kills that13:32
rick_h__and I do like the screen on the xps (well size, cursed reflective screens!)13:32
nullspaceI can't even remember when I needed a mic or a webcam on a laptop13:32
rick_h__heh, I had 7 hours of google hangouts monday13:33
rick_h__yay me!13:33
rick_h__well, 7 scheduled. Some went short thankfully13:33
nullspacecan't you use your tablet for that?13:33
rick_h__no, referencing google docs, code snippets, other urls from a tablet is not going to work13:33
rick_h__it's not like we're just shooting the breeze in the calls :)13:34
nullspacewas just thinking use the tablet for the hangout and use your lappy for doc referencign and such13:34
rick_h__that's true I guess, except you can't copy/paste13:34
rick_h__so I guess you could connect twice, mute the laptop mic, and make it work13:35
rick_h__but at some point you just buy a laptop with working mic/camera13:35
nullspacetrue13:35
jrwrennot nearly as convenient as Just Works desktop hangout13:35
cmaloneyAnd then bitch about how $current_laptop isn't a thinkpad.13:35
rick_h__yep!13:35
rick_h__hey, I've kept my bitching to a min. nullspace asked me :)13:35
cmaloneyheh13:35
cmaloneyI liken it to a dam bursting13:35
rick_h__so laptop -1 is a work QA machine and photo machine only13:35
rick_h__and sits in a corner quietly13:36
nullspaceI only ask as I might be getting a company issued machine and the higher ups have made it clear they are interesting in having an "app"13:36
brouschEveryone needs an app!13:37
rick_h__so running linux on it wasn't a dream.13:37
rick_h__the camera doesn't work, the touchpad software is a lot worse, and the mixed up keyboard needs some remapping13:37
brouschheh13:38
rick_h__and if you dual boot every osx update requires you to setup refindit again to get into your linux side13:38
brouschRemap your brain! Think different!13:38
nullspaceaside from the not linux friendly parts of the laptop how was it just as an OSX machine?13:38
cmaloneyYeah13:38
rick_h__nullspace: it was ok, I had the 11" and the screen res is too tiny13:39
rick_h__nullspace: I can't use lightroom without an external monitor13:39
jrwreni had no touchpad issues. it just works, and refindit also just works. other than that, what rick_h__ said :)13:39
brouschAnd if rick_h__ says the screen res is too tiny, that means something!13:39
rick_h__I had some wifi issues, but when I upgraded my router it went away. So who knew13:39
jrwrenas a prev owner of an 11", I agree. I've found 13" is perfect for me.13:39
rick_h__upgraded to AC and it would find the wifi on resume right away vs literally minutes on my N network gear13:40
rick_h__jrwren: yea, I've got the 13" now with 1920x1080 and <313:40
rick_h__well, I've got A 13" laptop (not the air 13)13:40
brouschI agree 12"-14" is the ideal laptop size13:41
cmaloneyI wonder if you might like the Macbook Pro 13" better13:41
rick_h__the damn thing on the 11 is that they have a decent keyboard, so the 11" screen is purely artificial13:41
nullspaceah, yeah I'd likely need to go to powerbook13:41
cmaloneybut it's a much more expensive screen13:41
rick_h__they have a giant bezel around the screen13:41
rick_h__it could have been a 12 or 12.5" without changing the form factor at all13:41
cmaloneyrick_h__: That's the "built to a price" machine13:41
rick_h__but they're tied to their 13, 15, 17 history13:41
nullspacethere was 17" mac?13:42
cmaloneySimilar to the low-end 13" MacBookPro13:42
jrwrenI beat the heck out of my laptops and the air holds up. I think part of the reason for the screen border is so it can survive drops and in my case, collisions in a bike bag13:43
rick_h__nullspace: yea, I had a 17", last non-intel they had13:43
cmaloneynullspace: back in 2006 when those were fashionable13:43
nullspacemust have missed it13:43
jrwreni think 17" macbook pros are still a thing.13:43
cmaloneyjrwren: Doubtful13:44
cmaloneyLargest screen is 15"13:44
rick_h__I thought it was deprecated with 15" retina13:44
rick_h__once that came out they stopped with the 1713:44
cmaloneyThough the iMac could be considered a laptop if the keyboard folded over the screen. ;)13:44
jrwrenah. i see.13:46
brouschMy sister had a 17" macbook. It was a beast13:47
brouschhttp://www.businessspectator.com.au/article/2014/6/3/technology/three-one-aussie-device-could-kill-pc15:15
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/WmExGA - The three-in-one Aussie device that could kill the PC | Business Spectator15:15
cmaloneyTwo words: bullshit15:20
brouschOBviously it won't kill the PC, but nifty device15:21
cmaloneyI'll be surprise if this makes it out of the funding gate and into the production gate.15:23
cmaloneyThere's a huge gap between prototype and production15:23
cmaloneyI do wonder how much of a market there is for these convertible devices though15:24
_stink_sales staff?  that's all i can think of15:24
cmaloneySeems like the Netbook phenomenon all over again15:24
cmaloneyEveryone will have to have one, until nobody wants one15:24
cmaloney_stink_: yeah, much the same way that "hotelling" caught on.15:25
brouschI would like this. I want a dual-boot Android/Linux tablet15:36
brouschHowever it needs more than 32GB for the Linux part15:36
brouschcmaloney: wow. I missed nearly all of the prisoners you took. I only noticed 2 of them18:24
greg-gwait, they're basically doing what Canonical wanted to do, even after Canonical stopped going down the route, and they're calling the device... Unity18:28
* greg-g headdesks18:28
rick_h__greg-g: ?18:28
greg-ghttp://www.businessspectator.com.au/article/2014/6/3/technology/three-one-aussie-device-could-kill-pc18:28
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/WmExGA - The three-in-one Aussie device that could kill the PC | Business Spectator18:28
greg-glol, the video is hilariously bad18:29
rick_h__hmm, well we are still trying to do the convergence story of desktop off your device I think18:29
greg-gso, even worse then :)18:30
greg-gtrying to do what canonical is also trying to do, and calling it unity18:30
rick_h__oh, so this is android tied18:30
rick_h__yea, not that18:30
brouschgreg-g: Even using Ubuntu!18:31
greg-goh, rick_h__, while you're here...18:36
greg-gshort list of good tech management books?18:36
greg-gin ~2 weeks (hopefully, pending any last minute vetos) I'll officially have 7 engineers reporting to me. Right now those 7 are "on my team" (for various values of "on" "my" and "team")18:37
rick_h__greg-g: quit now and run away?18:37
greg-g:(18:37
* greg-g waits for rick_h__ to smile, waits for rick_h__ to smile.... please smile.... please smile18:38
rick_h__honestly, I've not had a chance to look at many books.18:38
rick_h__time for that is something I just can't scrounge up18:38
greg-goh, I thought you had like 5 or so you were reading18:38
rick_h__heh, I read a kanban book, and bought 3 I've not opened18:38
greg-gyeah, I have 5ish hours of commute time each week, so...18:38
greg-ggotcha18:38
rick_h__yea, I had hoped to find some of the recommended books on audible but no luck18:39
greg-g:918:39
rick_h__which has hurt since I could do more of that18:39
greg-g:(18:39
greg-gyeah18:39
rick_h__greg-g: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7804842/ is what I bought18:40
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/ca3354 - Ubuntu Pastebin18:40
rick_h__I've only read much into one of them18:40
brousch5 hours commute?!18:40
rick_h__I started another18:40
rick_h__greg-g: honestly though I'm flying by the seat of my pants and going crazy here so not the best person to chat with.18:42
brouschThink of your underlings as server processes. If they don't do what you want, kill them and restart them18:44
rick_h__heh, yea not quite the way it works18:44
brouschIf they are troublesome, add a bunch of tests and monitor them closely. Keep statistics to find out where they are inefficient and ruthlessly correct it.18:47
cmaloneybrousch: Good game18:51
cmaloneybrousch: You haven't learned some of my bad habits in Go.18:52
cmaloneyI tend to try to get a lot of captures and that can lead to me going down a lot of rabbitholes.18:52
brouschI'm still not sure of the scoring. You get points for captures and for territory, but I'm not sure of the points for each18:53
cmaloneyYeah, the scoring is a little weird18:54
cmaloneythere's a concept of dead stones that I'm still a little fuzzy on18:54
cmaloneyBut we didn't have any dead stones in this game18:56
greg-gbrousch: for the week19:02
greg-gbrousch: 1.25 hours each way, 2 days week19:02
greg-grick_h__: haha19:02
brouschcmaloney: I don't understand how territory is converted to points. I had 35 spaces and you had 46, but it gave me 11 points and you 16. Even if you divide it by 3 it would be 11.67 and 15.3319:06
mrgoodcati'm not going to be at CHC tonight19:09
mrgoodcatagain19:09
mrgoodcat:/19:10
brouschAh, scoring is based on the empty spaces you control, not the entire area19:16
=== mthax is now known as mthx_
widoxmrgoodcat: now you're on my CHC schedule ;)19:30
=== mthax is now known as mthx_
cmaloneybrousch: yep20:00
cmaloneyThe book Beginning Go has a good chapter on scoring20:01
cmaloneyThough it still eludes me20:01
cmaloneyNot the least of which is because there's both Japanese and Chinese methods of scoring20:02
brouschWikipedia seemed pretty clear20:05
brouschThough dead stones also elude me20:05
gamerchick02jrwren! hi!22:09
gamerchick02also hello ColonelPanic001 i have not talked to you in awhile.22:09
jrwrenhi hi22:49
