wolfgerWatching the Win 10 video posted last night... OMG, the hair!11:50
rick_h_they didn't go windows X ? :P11:51
wolfgerit's like a sideways mullet had a baby with a Beatles cut11:51
mrgoodcatmorning12:33
mrgoodcati think bookiebot needs a full rewrite12:33
mrgoodcati'm through chasing down stupid bugs because i was too stupid or lazy to do it the right way12:34
mrgoodcatgoing to redo it with twisted and sqlalchemy i think12:34
cmaloneyGood morning12:34
wolfgerhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/530991/how-do-i-remove-bash13:09
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/6GM76M - How do i remove bash? - Ask Ubuntu13:09
mrgoodcatoh dear god13:11
mrgoodcati don't even know if i should click that13:11
brousch_finally, the answer is to install Windows!13:12
wolfgerWelcome to the year of Linux on the Desktop. It has finally arrived.13:12
cmaloneydd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda bs=4k13:12
cmaloneysudo !!13:12
wolfgeralthough the question does make me wonder what would happen if I opened a bash shell and typed "sudo apt-get uninstall bash"13:13
dzhothe memory resident copy would just chortle along, like anything else that gets updated13:13
dzhothis is what vm's are for: playing with this sort of thing13:14
dzhoI think you'd get stopped cold in your tracks just due to dependency hell, but that's probably what the link mentions so meh13:14
mrgoodcatapt-cache rdepends bash13:20
mrgoodcatapt-cache rdepends bash | grep -v i386 | wc -l13:21
mrgoodcati get 42 dependencies of bash on my system13:21
mrgoodcatworth noting that this is direct dependencies and the dependency tree is likely a lot bigger13:22
wolfgernow recurse dependancies of those 4213:22
wolfgerhmm... 42.... curious number ;-)13:22
mrgoodcatlol13:22
mrgoodcat51 on my arch laptop13:25
mrgoodcatthere are definitely some curious dependencies actually...13:26
mrgoodcati wonder why nano would require bash13:26
mrgoodcatwow... 608 dependencies on my arch system if you check recursively...13:28
dzhoI wonder how many of those things really need bash versus could be fine with dash13:34
dzhoor "sh"13:34
dzhoI find it curious that /bin/sh does not go through alternatives, but straight to /bin/dash13:35
dzhoI'm sure there's a reason.13:35
wolfgerdoesn't dash depend on bash?13:37
wolfgerhmm. I does not. I must have read that wrong earlier13:38
jrwrenno. dash has nothing to do with bash.13:38
jrwrenas for /bin/sh alternatives, I htink if you search you'll find nice debian discussiosn on that.13:39
wolfgerbash depends on dash13:39
jrwrenhttps://wiki.debian.org/Shell13:39
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/X56Efa - Shell - Debian Wiki13:39
jrwrenbash depends on dash? Is that some nonsense debianism too?13:39
wolfgermust be13:41
jrwrenI don't see where bash depends on dash.13:41
wolfgerhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/bash13:42
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/4E60YS - Ubuntu – Details of package bash in utopic13:42
jrwrenwolfger: bash-completion & bash-doc   not bash.13:42
jrwrenwolfger: and those are suggests and recommends not depends13:42
jrwrenwolfger: I always roll with --no-install-recommends :)13:43
wolfgerjrwren: what are you talking about?13:43
jrwrenwolfger: there is no depends on bash at the link you pasted.13:43
wolfgerthat is the bash package, showing it depends on dash13:43
wolfgerwhich you said you didn't see13:44
jrwrenwolfger: so weird. dpkg -p on trusty does not have that same list.13:44
wolfgerhmm13:45
jrwrenit likely isnt' a real dep, but one which comes from dash being deeply engrained in the heart of debian.13:45
mrgoodcatapt-cache rdepends bash doesn't show a dependency on dash13:46
mrgoodcatwait thats reverse13:46
jrwrenwhoa, apt-cache show does show dash listed as dep, but dpkg -p does not13:46
jrwrenwell, pre-depends. whatever that means.   sounds like a health product.13:47
wolfgerrofl13:47
wolfgerpre-depends, for when you almost lose control13:47
mrgoodcata dependency will halt the installation, a pre-dependency won't even let it start13:48
jrwrenoh, yup, its a debian packaging ism. pre-depends is so that the package can be unpacked.13:48
mrgoodcatusually it has to do with tools used during the install process13:48
jrwrenyou need a shell to run preinst script.13:49
jrwrenexcept that you don't, because /var/lib/dpkg/info/bash.preinst is an ELF binary13:49
jrwrenits only /var/lib/dpkg/info/bash.postrm that uses dash.  LAME!13:50
wolfgernerd. :-D13:50
wolfgeralso: lame is not at all a dependency.13:51
jrwrennerd. :)13:51
mrgoodcatthat ELF may use dash in some way13:53
wolfgerWow. Dick's Sporting Goods just sent me an e-mail about a golf driver that's "only" $249 ($150 off original price). They do realize that I *just* bought an entire set of clubs from them for $85, right? Are they trying to scare me away from the sport?13:55
wolfgerand who spends $399 on a single golf club? That's nuts.13:56
jrwrenmrgoodcat: strings the elf :)13:56
mrgoodcatnot sure what my driver cost13:56
mrgoodcatbut it was more than i'd care to pay13:56
jrwrenwho golfs?13:56
mrgoodcatgot it as a gift13:56
mrgoodcati golf13:56
wolfgerI golfed once. Liked it enough to buy the cheapest set of clubs I could find.13:56
jrwreni golfed a few times. I decided i do not like it.13:57
wolfgerwhat part do you not like: the sunshine, the fresh air, or the exercise?13:57
wolfgerbut back on topic, sort of....13:58
wolfgerI know an elf that uses dash. SqueakyHoHo.13:59
jrwrenI don't like the golf.13:59
mrgoodcatlol13:59
mrgoodcatmostly the golfing part14:00
jrwrensunshine, fresh air and exercise are had countless other ways.14:00
mrgoodcatmountainbiking :)14:00
jrwreni like that.14:00
mrgoodcati spend more time mountainbiking than just about any other outdoor activity14:00
jrwrenroadbiking, basketball, tennis, anything but golf plz.14:00
mrgoodcatmaybe waterskiing14:00
mrgoodcati waterski a lot14:00
mrgoodcatbut mountainbike is year round for me, waterski is not14:01
jrwrenyear round in MI?14:01
cmaloneywolfger: Who buys $400 clubs? People who think gaining an extra 5 yards is worth $40014:01
cmaloneyeven though you could argue the club has nothing to do with it.14:02
wolfger...14:02
wolfgerpeople who think the *possibility* of gaining 5 yards is worth $40014:02
brousch_mrgoodcat: Are you the one who used to waterski in an artificial lake near Grand Rapids?14:02
wolfgerI need to meet more of these people, because they have lots of money and little sense.14:02
brousch_cmaloney: The club has something to do with it once you go beyond a minimum skill level14:02
cmaloneybrousch_: Bull. I'd argue it's more about what properties you imbue into the club than actual club-dynamics14:03
brousch_wat?14:03
mrgoodcatjrwren: yea14:03
cmaloneyI used to play golf when I was a kid. I sucked horribly.14:03
mrgoodcatbrousch_: also, yes14:03
brousch_mrgoodcat: What was that place called?14:04
jrwrenmrgoodcat: isn't that code?14:04
brousch_My mom didn't believe me when I told her about it, and I couldn't find it anywhere14:04
mrgoodcatcmaloney: club quality has a much bigger effect than you might guess14:04
mrgoodcatjrwren: if you mean cold, then sometimes14:04
mrgoodcatbrousch_: placid waters14:05
cmaloneymrgoodcat: I'll give you that carbon fiber or graphite shafts may have more "whip" than the old steel shafts14:05
cmaloneyor the wood shafts.14:05
cmaloneybut not much beyond that14:05
mrgoodcati like stiffer shafts actually. i like my steel shaft14:05
cmaloneyAll of the aerodynamics nonsense for the driver is rubbish14:05
mrgoodcatthe heads are a lot bigger now, and the club faces are shaped differently and made of different metals14:06
mrgoodcatso you get more control14:06
mrgoodcatthe new clubs are a lot easier to hit14:06
mrgoodcatand the high-end clubs are a lot lighter, so it takes less muscle to control the club head the same way14:06
cmaloneyI'll bet you in 5 years the club heads will get smaller because someone will win a tourney with smaller heads.14:06
cmaloneyand then the aerodynamic nonsense will kick in again14:06
brousch_It's more about club face shape, materials, internal reinforcement, etc14:07
mrgoodcati think more likely it will be a rule change that makes the large heads disallowed14:07
mrgoodcatthe large head clubs are stupidly easy to hit with14:07
brousch_There is already a limit on head size14:07
mrgoodcatyea, i think it will be smaller soon though14:07
jrwrenlinux people play golf. I need to become a BSD people. Moar anti-establishment hippie bears there.14:07
brousch_In the PGA14:07
mrgoodcatthe pros are already complaining14:07
cmaloneyjrwren: I have a set of clubs that are yours for the taking14:07
jrwrencmaloney: i have a set of clubs that are yours for the taking.14:08
cmaloneycirca 198914:08
cmaloneyjrwren: Hah.14:08
brousch_I used to play golf ~40 times/yr, now i play probably 514:08
wolfgerMan, I wish I'd know there were clubs for the taking before I bought some :-p14:08
mrgoodcatthere's also a limit on the coefficient of restitution on both club heads and balls14:09
wolfgerand if the large drivers are "stupid easy", I must be beyond stupid because I suck with the driver. My best drives at the range are with my hybrid.14:09
mrgoodcatlol14:10
mrgoodcator, you bought an 85$ set and your club is heavy as shit because it has the large head thats all the rage but inexpensive materials14:10
wolfgerthat could be too14:10
wolfgermaybe I need to buy a driver that costs 4-5 times the entire price of my set so I play better. :-P :-P :-P14:11
brousch_It usually means there is a fundamental problem with your swing14:11
mrgoodcatyea14:11
brousch_Until you have a good, consistent swing, your clubs don't matter much14:11
mrgoodcati'd fix the swing before spending money on new clubs14:11
wolfgerbrousch_: that's what I figured too14:11
mrgoodcati play with a super old set just fine14:11
mrgoodcatmy driver is my only club less than 10 years old14:12
brousch_I played for 2 years with small, wooden headed 1,3,5 woods to force a controlled, consistent swing. After that i went back to real drivers and picked up 40 yards on my drives and eliminated slicing14:13
mrgoodcatmost of mine are ~1995ish14:13
wolfgerI have an urge now to rewatch Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore14:15
cmaloneyThank goodness we didn't get into talking about Bowling Balls.14:16
wolfgerHeh. I'm perfectly happy with rental balls14:16
brousch_I used to bowl as often as I golfed. I still do14:16
wolfgerWhat Michigan needs more of is curling.14:18
widoxrick_h_: ooo. nice!14:18
mrgoodcatbowling is fun but i can never seem to get over the 150-160 hump14:20
brousch_PRactice your spares14:21
wolfgerI thought the 150-160 hump was in golf... :-D14:21
brousch_yikes14:21
wolfgeractually, I have no idea what my golf score was the one time I played. I doubt it was that bad14:22
wolfgerI also doubt it was good, or anything approaching good14:22
mrgoodcati'm usually +7 or so per 9 holes14:23
mrgoodcatsometimes better sometimes a lot worse14:23
wolfgerOh geez. I just realized I still had a button on Chrome saying "Note in Reader", which was for Google Reader. *sigh* RIP, dear Reader.14:31
cmaloneywolfger: newsblur is the new hotness.14:32
wolfgerYes, I love Newsblur. I still miss GReader though14:34
wolfgerThey're making a live-action Tetris movie? This has to be a hoax. Please let it be a hoax.14:41

bookiebothttp://goo.gl/QAorz6 - BBC News - Tetris to become movie blockbuster14:41
cmaloneywolfger: I'm sure they're using "blockbuster" in the ironic sense14:42
cmaloneyas in it's a movie about blocks, and it's sure to be a bust.14:42
wolfgerone line at a time....14:43
wolfgerwell, 4 lines at a time if you're good14:43
cmaloneyThey've been threatening this movie for a while.14:45
wolfgerI wish they would resume threatening us with a Neuromancer movie.14:46
wolfgerI think Johnny Mnemonic killed that for us though.14:46
cmaloneywolfger: I doubt they'll make a workable version of that.14:47
wolfgercmaloney: just give it to Marvel Studios. They can do no wrong, apparently.14:58
* wolfger willfully forgets the first Wolverine movie and the Hulk movies15:00
mrgoodcati didn't completely hate the hulk movies15:01
cmaloney"i didn't completely hate" is a pretty damning endorsement15:05
