| derekv | here's an interesting thought, you'd usually just have a String column in a table, you wouldn't usually have a FK to a table called "strings" and use it for every column in every table that calls for a string | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| derekv | i think partly that is because there is no interesting difference between the string "derekv" irregardless of where it appears... it's identity _is_ its data | 00:03 |
| derekv | (plus a hundred other reasons) | 00:03 |
| derekv | like if i had a VehicleBasicDescription{ model_year: num, doors: num, ext_color: color } ... and then I had Vehicle{ vin: string, description: VehicleBasicDescription } and Buyer{ name: string, prefered_vehicle: VehicleBasicDescription } | 00:10 |
| derekv | there's no conceptual reason to have VehicleBasicDescription be it's own table | 00:10 |
| cmaloney | GOod morning | 12:48 |
| cmaloney | Heading to the vet this morning for Pixel's check-up | 12:49 |
| cmaloney | Looking forward to trying to get her into the cat carrier. :) | 12:49 |
| rick_h_ | cat party time | 16:11 |

| cmaloney | Good afternoon | 21:05 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: 32GB is awfully small | 21:06 |
| cmaloney | for $30 more you can get the 15" model with 500GB 5400 RPM drive, and double the memory | 21:08 |
| cmaloney | Though the ratingsa aren't that great it seems | 21:08 |
| cmaloney | Acc. to the Q/A section 10GB of that eMMC are reserved for Windows recovery | 21:10 |
| cmaloney | Might as well get a Chromebook at that rate | 21:10 |
| _stink_ | 5 hour battery would be my biggest turn off | 21:19 |
| _stink_ | that should be on a personal ad | 21:19 |
| cmaloney | That's about what I get on my laptop | 21:19 |
| _stink_ | "biggest turnoff: 5 hour battery" | 21:19 |
| cmaloney | I have an older battery / machine though | 21:19 |
| _stink_ | all i have is a chromebook these days | 21:19 |
| cmaloney | so I get about 3 hours tops | 21:19 |
| _stink_ | so yeah i'm spoiled for battery | 21:19 |
| _stink_ | i traded a real OS for a good battery :P | 21:20 |
| _stink_ | anyone in here do radio controlled hobby type stuff? | 21:42 |
| _stink_ | i'm looking for a radio recommendation | 21:42 |
| dickweed | jrwren: Get a c720 for the same money. Similar specs with exceptional linux support | 22:00 |
| dickweed | and a much longer battery life | 22:00 |
| dickweed | hmm reading about the proc in that computer and i may be wrong about the battery life | 22:05 |
| dickweed | the silvermont architecture was designed to be very low TDP (4.5W). The Haswell chips are all fundamentally the same from the 2955u to the 3000$ xeons, the differences are entirely outside the core. Thus, the silvermont processor (in the laptop you linked) may get better battery life but the 2955u (in the c720) will perform better thread-for-thread. at least from what i can see | 22:07 |
| === dickweed is now known as mrgoodcat | ||
| mrgoodcat | i really have to figure out how to get my client to stop doing that after netsplits | 22:10 |
| mrgoodcat | changes my name to my super old immature username | 22:10 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: my FIL used to do hobby RC stuff but his stuff is super-old. | 22:25 |
| _stink_ | ok np. i found #rc on efnet and they're pretty helpful | 23:02 |
| cmaloney | cool | 23:42 |
