PhillyMelt02I have 4 tickets to Blake's Zombie Paintball Safari if anyone is interested.  You'd have to use them on Friday night as that is the last night they are putting it on for the season.01:31

mrgoodcating12:16
brouschI feel like you guys are improving even within 1 game12:19
brouschEither that or I am getting worse12:20
mrgoodcati'm spending a lot more time thinking12:21
mrgoodcatmy first few games i was playing fast and loose because i didn't know what i was doing12:21
mrgoodcatnow i'm walking away and coming back later to look at it with fresh eyes12:22
mrgoodcatmakes for slower gameplay but also for better foresight12:22
mrgoodcattim cook came out publicly12:33
mrgoodcatbloomberg article was pretty good12:33
brouschCame out of what?12:34
mrgoodcatthe proverbial closet12:38
mrgoodcathe's gay12:38
brouschAh12:45
jrwren_ah, so that was new news. I wasn't sure if it was old news or new news.13:07
mrgoodcatwell he wasn't specifically hiding it before13:07
mrgoodcatjust never acknowledged it13:07
cmaloneyI wish this weren't news.13:17
cmaloneySimilar to when some of the members of Cynic openly came out.13:18
cmaloneyIt shouldn't matter to your creative or other processes.13:19
jrwren_members of Cynic?13:47
jrwren_I think the CEO of the largest corporation in the world is a bit bigger deal than somone I've never heard of :)13:48
mrgoodcatlargest corporation in the world is the PLA13:56
jrwren_PLA?13:56
jrwren_AAPL is largest by market cap and enterprise value.13:56
mrgoodcatpeople's liberation army14:00
mrgoodcatthe chinese military14:01
jrwren_not a corporation14:01
mrgoodcatAAPL may be the largest publicly traded company14:01
jrwren_largest by some definition of largest.14:02

mrgoodbothttp://goo.gl/IGSb8m - Apple MacBook Air Core i5 1 6GHz 4GB RAM 128GB HD 11 6" MC969LL A 885909464043 | eBay14:03
mrgoodcatpretty good deal14:03
brousch4GB RAM?14:03
mrgoodcatyup14:03
brouschew14:03
mrgoodcat¯\_(ツ)_/¯14:04
brouschAnd impossible to upgrade yourself14:04
mrgoodcati get by with 2GB on a daily basis14:04
mrgoodcatthe air is meant to be a portable computer to work away from work/home, not a workstation14:04
brouschI have only a laptop.14:05
mrgoodcatbesides, at 550$ what would you expect?14:05
mrgoodcati also have only a laptop14:05
mrgoodcatwith 2GB RAM14:05
mrgoodcatand like i said, i get by just fine14:05
brouschI have 1 computer. I need 512GB of storage and 8GB of RAM so I can run VMs14:06
mrgoodcatah i don't run vms too much14:06
mrgoodcatand when i do i run them on our server at work14:06
mrgoodcatalso, compile on build server14:06
brouschAh, DGS tournaments are where the action is14:06
mrgoodcatbut other than that, this is sufficient for me14:06
brouschYou assign your own rating the first time14:07
brouschAt least register for the Ladders so you can get a real idea of your rank and rating14:12
mrgoodcatshould i?14:16
jrwren_$550 ian't bad for that laptop14:17
jrwren_but to answer brousch, no, nothing on it is upgradable.14:17
brouschI would be tempted if I could get 512GB SSD in it14:20
mrgoodcati live with a 128GB ssd also lol14:21
brouschI have decades of photos and videos14:22
mrgoodcatyea i don't keep anything like that on my laptop14:22
mrgoodcati'm using... 13GB right now14:22
brouschWhere do you keep them if that's your only computer?14:22
mrgoodcatArch linux14:22
mrgoodcatbrousch: google, facebook, dropbox, couple external HDDs... they're spread around. i've never really been the type to get sentimental about pictures14:23
brouschI keep it all in Dropbox. It's synced to that computer so it's all backed up14:24
mrgoodcatyea so mine is all in dropbox but i don't sync14:24
brouschThat sounds annoying14:24
mrgoodcati have 1TB dropbox and 1TB google14:24
mrgoodcatthe google came free with the chromebook. They usually give 100GB but I got a special deal :)14:25
brouschSo when you want something you go to the dropbox/google web client and download it, then re-upload?14:25
mrgoodcati sync my docs and stuff14:26
mrgoodcatbut pictures and videos i consider long-term storage and don't sync14:26
jrwren_I have a 512GB SSD, which I cut in half and never use the secon half. I should reclaim that space and maybe even use it :)14:26
mrgoodcati mostly view them in the web client14:26
brouschI didn't realize you could selectively sync14:27
mrgoodcatyep14:27
mrgoodcatby folder14:27
brouschNow I need to look to look into this14:28
mrgoodcatlol14:29
mrgoodcatalso, i'm in the process of switching everything to Mega14:29
mrgoodcatbecause encryption++ and privacy++14:29
brouschI don't see how to tell a folder not to sync14:32
mrgoodcati use the cmdline interface14:41
mrgoodcathang on i'll show you in a sec14:42
mrgoodcatin a meeting14:42
brouschmrgoodcat: Ah, I found it. It's in the desktop client prefs14:48
brouschHm, this opens some interesting opportunities for upgrades14:51
mrgoodcatbrousch: you should check out Mega though14:54
mrgoodcat50GB free, and client side encrypted using a key derived from your password14:56
mrgoodcati'm gonna do the 2TB plan14:56
brouschHm, so the problem with an unsynced folder is that the only copy of that file is on Dropbox14:59
brouschSo if Dropbox disappears, so does that file15:00
mrgoodcatif dropbox disappears....15:00
mrgoodcatso run the dropbox cli client on a home server and backup periodically15:00
mrgoodcatalthough i'd say the chances of Dropbox disappearing without at least some forewarning are approaching zero15:01
brouschthen I need 2 computers15:01
mrgoodcatwhat else did you think selective sync meant?15:02
brouschIt's unlikely, but it feels like an incomplete backup15:02
brouschI know what it meant, I just had not considered all of the ramifications15:02
mrgoodcati trust dropbox infinitely more than my laptop when it comes to data integrity/longevity15:03
brouschIt would also make moving to another provider difficult as you'd have to download then re-upload15:03
mrgoodcatyes15:03
mrgoodcatdropbox is not a backup service though, they are a syncing service15:12
mrgoodcathmmmm save 40€ by getting a year or start month-by-month?... not sure if i'm commited enough to Mega for a 200€ up front cost15:13
brouschThey are my backup15:17
brouschAll of my data is on my laptop synced to Dropbox15:18
mrgoodcat¯\_(ツ)_/¯15:18
brouschMy photos from Android automatically sync too15:18
mrgoodcatyea my photos currently sync to Dropbox, g+, and Mega15:18
mrgoodcatlol15:18
brouschIt's not the cheapest system, but it's simple and reliable15:19
jrwren_i need to get me some of that free storage syncing.15:19
mrgoodcati guess it's a matter of how you think about it15:19
brouschMy wife's go to a free Dropbox shared with mine. I clean her photos out every year or so15:19
mrgoodcati think of the online as the 'primary' copy15:19
mrgoodcatyou think of it as the bakckup15:19
brouschInteresting15:19
mrgoodcati'm thinking about writing a client that will back up mega to amazon glacier storage or something like that15:22
mrgoodcatmight be an interesting side project if nothing else15:22
mrgoodcatneed to brush up on my c++ anyways15:22
jrwren_boto is so good, i'd use python for anything aws api15:22
mrgoodcatthe Mega SDK is cpp15:23
jrwren_ah, interesting. WHY THE ?!?!?15:23
jrwren_is it becasue of the local sync?15:23
mrgoodcatdon't understand the question15:24
mrgoodcathttps://mega.co.nz/#doc look at #3 and #415:25

mrgoodcatdamn15:27
mrgoodcatnot worth looking15:27
brouschNeed the #stuff to be channel-specific15:29
mrgoodcathe's not even in the bookie channel anymore15:29
mrgoodcatafter seeing how much rick despises bots I changed the name and switched it to this channel only. just forgot to remove bookie specific functions15:30
mrgoodcatjrwren_: i don't hate cpp so i guess it doesn't matter to me as much as it does to you15:31
mrgoodcatmy guess is the crypto was easier/faster in cpp since the crypto is all client side15:32
jrwren_i don't hate cpp.15:33
jrwren_I love cpp.15:33
jrwren_especially c++1415:33
jrwren_its awesome.15:33
mrgoodcat"i can't imagine a reason to use C++"15:34
jrwren_its more a matter of right tool for right job and any speed benefit of cpp is immediately negated by the fact that you are talking to a slow remote http api... at least, this is true in aws.15:34
jrwren_mrgoodcat: IN CONTEXT!15:34
jrwren_mrgoodcat: hell, you just removed the first half of the sentence.15:34
jrwren_11:26   jrwren_| if it is just a remote services api, i can't imagine a reason to use C++15:35
jrwren_mrgoodcat: have you considered a career as a reporter?15:35
mrgoodcatwow. i can see you handle jokes well...15:35
jrwren_jokes require smileys or an indicator that it is a joke. This is not an easy medium for jokes.15:36
mrgoodcatbut on a more serious note, i didn't pick C++, they did. Obviously they had a reason15:36
jrwren_Indeed, a reason.15:36
greg-gdepends on what the ratio is between web requests and local processing is, too15:37
greg-g(no idea what the context is)15:37
mrgoodcatgreg-g: Mega file syncing service15:37
greg-ghmm, not sure then15:37
greg-gunless they're using the crypto bits of c++ for added speed15:38
jrwren_the crypto bits make sense, although, python crypto is a C lib, so it will be just as fast.15:38
greg-gtrue15:38
mrgoodcatthe crypto is client side, so i'd imagine the local/web processing ratio is significantly higher than most syncing services, but idk if its high enough to need cpp15:38
jrwren_Its like reasons which make no sense to outsiders.15:38
jrwren_s/like/likely/15:38
greg-g"it's what I/my team know(s)" is probably the reason :)15:39
mrgoodcati'd imagine that's a large part of it15:39
greg-gsee also: most software ;)15:39
jrwren_ain't nothing wrong with that.15:39
jrwren_unless its java. :p15:40
greg-gjrwren_: see about 98% of "enterprise" software (which, unfortunately, is where a ton of money/market is)15:40
greg-g:P15:40
mrgoodcatanyways, C++ is what they used, so the choice is use C++, or use some sort of binding to a different language15:40
mrgoodcatheh, http://www.netjeff.com/humor/item.cgi?file=Foryouunixhackersoutthere15:43

cmaloneyjrwren_: CYNIC is a death metal band15:48
cmaloneywith several well-regarded members15:48
mrgoodcatjrwren_: re jokes: you can pretty much assume that 80% of the things I say are not serious15:49
greg-gthis always scares me at the beginning of a day during an apt-get upgrade:15:50

jrwren_greg-g: is that a chrome plugin for gtalk?15:53
greg-gI depend on it for work, but I also have issues sporadically, so change scares me :)15:53

mrgoodcatheh18:14
jrwren_that is actually pretty great alternative to chromebook18:17
mrgoodcatyea if you want/need windows18:17

brouschit does18:17

jrwren_I also have live365 office, but I thought that was for pay. I have no idea why I have it.18:18
mrgoodcatlive365 office != office365 iirc18:19
jrwren_oh?!?18:19
mrgoodcati think live365 is a more stripped down free version18:19
jrwren_sad that I have to ask in an ubuntu channel to get an answer :)18:19
mrgoodcatlol18:19
brouschDid Ubuntu kill their cloud storage?18:20
jrwren_brousch: yes.18:20
mrgoodcatyup18:20
mrgoodcati never really used it though18:20
jrwren_https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_365 has a great matrix breakdown of hte plans.18:22

cmaloneyI use Duplicity with a Synology raid at home19:36
cmaloneyI don't have offsite storage yet.19:36
cmaloneyHaven't found the sweet spot between affordable and trust yet.19:36
cmaloneymrgoodcat: I also use "Drafts" on my phone to put new documents in there so I have my mobile inbox.19:37
brouschmrgoodcat: Well done getting that structure in my corner19:37
cmaloneySorrt, Draft.19:38
cmaloneyI use Dropbox because everything connects to Dropbox.19:39
cmaloneyI used to use Ubuntu One but... well... ;)19:39
mrgoodcatbrousch: thanks. i hope my next play wasn't too light19:43
mrgoodcatbrousch: how did you pick 29 kyu?19:50
mrgoodcatand what exactly does kyu mean?19:50
brousch30kyu is basically complete n00b19:50
brouschI have no idea my rating, so I picked 2919:51
mrgoodcatand 1kyu is super master extraordinaire?19:51
brouschhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_ranks_and_ratings#Kyu_and_dan_ranks19:51

cmaloneyYeah, I have NFC on my rating19:52
