mrgoodcatits like a hyperbole of itself00:01
gamerchick02yes!00:02
_stink_gamerchick02: where are you working these days again?00:04
_stink_you're an engineer, right?00:04
gamerchick02yes, i'm at Chrysler00:10
_stink_cool00:10
_stink_working on anything fun?00:10
_stink_like00:10
_stink_flyin cars00:10
gamerchick02mechanical engineer, doing configs and systems stuff. my ubuntu bugsquad stuff has come in handy with reporting on system errors00:10
_stink_gotcha00:10
gamerchick02hah no. inter-regional vehicles that are supposed to be built in 4 regions, serviced in any of the 4 regions, and all look the same00:11
gamerchick02technically, you should be able to buy a M Jeep CSUV in China (LHD) and bring it to the US and be able to have it serviced.00:12
_stink_ooo00:12
_stink_what's the import tax00:12
gamerchick02we will see if it works00:12
gamerchick02well it makes no sense for you to buy it in China and import it since we will have them available for the US, Canada, and Mexico markets.00:12
gamerchick02built in NAFTA00:12
_stink_sure, but at the same real dollar price?00:14
gamerchick02so yeah, it's a lot of wrangling and getting things working00:14
gamerchick02probably. i dunno. there are different engines and options for each market00:14
gamerchick02so... for China you can get a 2.0 turbo diesel but it's not available for the US market00:15
gamerchick02*shrug*00:15
gamerchick02like as an example00:15
gamerchick02i'd assume a similar specced model would be the same price in each region00:15
_stink_ah ok00:17
gamerchick02i just work on a small part of the project00:18
cmaloneyEvening00:18
gamerchick02howdy cmaloney00:18

cmaloneyJ is trying to bring out her telescope for the first time this season00:22
gamerchick02ooo00:23
cmaloneyDammit, I'm getting sick and tired of the music industry releasing better sounding digital audio tied to LP releases01:33
cmaloney2112: AAC files aren't brickwalled like they are on the "Deluxe" CD release.01:34
cmaloneyGetting tired of CDs getting a bad rap because producers / mixers are fucking idiots when it comes to digital music01:35
cmaloneyI swear it's like copy protection or some shit01:35
gamerchick02so... you're saying you can only get the higher fidelity files if you buy the LP with a digital download card?01:42
gamerchick02but you don't get that with the CD?01:42
cmaloneyYes01:42
gamerchick02ok01:42
gamerchick02that is kind of crap01:42
cmaloneyThey didn't brickwall the audio files, but they did on the CD01:42
gamerchick02ah01:42
gamerchick02brickwall?01:43
gamerchick02(sorry i might not be up on all this terminology)01:43
cmaloneyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war01:43
gamerchick02ah ok yes01:43
cmaloneyhttp://kindlecoverdisasters.tumblr.com/01:44

cmaloneyMorning morning13:29
ColonelPanic001it is only one morning at a time13:45

jrwrenthe vmware case will be more interesting15:45
cmaloneythe vmware case was actually started in this decade15:45
greg-gthe Conservancy one?15:45
greg-gyeah15:45
cmaloneyand relates to something in the 21st century15:46
cmaloneynot sure the same can be said of the SCO case.15:46
greg-gyeah, I'm actually surprised the statue of limitations isn't preventing the SCO one15:48
cscheibjrwren / jcastro: I has interview tomorrow morning... can you guys do a late lunch, like 1?15:53

jrwrenthat would make it a 2hr lunch for me. I can't take that long.15:55
cscheibI may be able to, but can't guarantee right now - interview kinda fucked up my morning scenario15:56
cscheibI can drop him off15:56
jcastrojrwren, where do you live in relation to me?15:56
jrwrenjcastro: north side. Plymouth Rd and Huron Pkway are nearby.15:58
jrwrenjcastro: i dunno, maybe traffic down there isn't htat bad that time of day?15:58
jcastroI'm not in AA proper so it's never too bad15:58
jrwrenha!15:59
cscheibjcastro: PM me address, and I'll see if/how I can accommodate transport16:00
jrwrenits all good if we don't stray too far from jcastro's house for lunch.  I propose bread basket or Tmaz.16:00
jcastrowhich way are you coming from?16:00
jcastroI'm almost right off of 9416:00
jcastrotmaz sounds awesome16:01
jcastrothere's maize too if you want more sit-down mexican16:01
jrwrenand late lunch at tmaz is great becuase they get busy at noon hour16:01
jrwrenooh! I've never done Maize, lets do that.16:01
cmaloneyjcastro: I think I know where you are.16:02
cmaloneyOver by the Ypsi library-ish?16:02
jrwrencmaloney: he is right by meijer16:02
jcastroI am not in ypsi despite having a ypsi address16:02
cmaloneyAh, OK16:03
cmaloneySO the other way.16:03
cmaloneyused to love going to the ypsi library. Nice place.16:03
cscheibjcastro: as long as I don't have to stop at my customer in A2 first, I should be able to swing through and pick you up... that is right on my way16:05
jcastroperfect16:05
* jcastro picked this location due to ease of access16:05
cscheibheh, I kinda picked my location due to the opposite16:06
cscheibnever really hear someone say "I was just driving through Grosse Pointe"16:06
jcastro"I saw that place in a movie"16:06
cscheibheh16:07
cmaloneyNow if we could only get jcastro to say "I was driving through the Royal Oak area..."16:08
cmaloney;)16:08
jcastroI've been trying to get up there for 3 months16:09
jcastroconstruction in the basement etc. have basically got me stuck here all winter16:09
cmaloneyjcastro: Try harder. :)16:09
cmaloneyugh, though re: construction16:09
jcastrowell, help me win the lottery!16:09
cmaloneyjcastro: That's easy16:09
cmaloneyHere's my simple tip for winning the lottery16:10
cscheibjcastro: Trevor came to my puppet UG, haven't seen him since Forgue lived in town16:10
cmaloney1) Choose several numbers in the range of the balls for the lottery16:10
cmaloney2) buy ticket16:10
cmaloney3)16:10
cmaloney4) Profit16:10
jcastrocscheib, yeah I talk to him pretty regularly now16:10
jcastroHe doesn't work at NAB anymore so he doesn't hate life16:10
cscheibyea, we discussed that16:11
cscheibhaha16:11
cmaloneyNAB = ?16:11
cscheibI think when I told him that Rick made Nick cry, he felt better about his stay there16:11
jcastrocmaloney, http://www.northamericanbancard.com/16:11
cmaloneyAh16:12
cscheibi.e. the place that gave me enough experience to make teh monies elsewhere16:12
cmaloneyOnly NAB I know of is National Association of Broadcasters16:12
jcastrocmaloney, here's how behind I am16:12
jrwrenAA is the event horizon of a black hole. Once you get here you are stuck adn cannot leave.16:12
jcastromy birthday party will be in june16:12
cmaloneyjcastro: Wow16:12
cmaloneyThough we just celebrated JoDee's birthday with her brother last weekend16:13
jcastronoice16:13
cmaloneyHer b-day is feb 14th16:13
jcastroheh16:14
jcastroit's like, if you're so delayed, you might as well wait for the nice weather16:14
cmaloneySo yeah, we know about the whole "behind" thing. :)16:14
jcastroI am just tired of the house being a revolving door of construction16:15
jcastrosoon though craig, soon.16:15
jcastrowe will rock to rush on a 120" screen16:15
cmaloneyAnd all this time I've settled for 32"16:15
cmaloneyThat will be awesome. :)16:15
cscheibcmaloney: if you want to catch jorge's attention, and possibly get him out of the house... mention Rush, Metallica, Rocksmith, or tacos16:19
cmaloneycscheib: You must be new here. :)16:19
cscheibnot really16:19
cscheibjust not-recent16:19
cscheibI used to be a MOTU16:19
cscheibI don't know if they even exist any more16:20
jrwrenthey do.16:20
cmaloneyAs soon as jcastro realized I revered Rush we have had long conversations about Rush16:20
jrwrenwant to be one again? I have a 50 package wish list :)16:20
cscheibjrwren: nah.  not unless someone wants to pay me $75/hr or so16:20
cmaloneyAs soon as jcastro realized I liked the synth-period of Rush I think we became blood brothers.16:21
cmaloney;)16:21
cscheib$30 security camera so I can see when the dog wants outside is the best investment I've made in a while16:24
cmaloneynice16:26
jcastroI got an expensive dropcam and it doesn't do much. :(16:37
rick_h_heh, just taught the dog to paw the door16:37
rick_h_works for out and back in16:38
cscheibhe paws the door after a while16:41
cscheibjcastro: yea, I couldn't stomach the cost of a dropcam16:41
jcastroI got it on sale, even then16:41
cscheibthe dlink camera line is pretty cheap and fairly capable16:42
cscheibI've gotta figure out how to do mjpeg over https, though16:42
cscheibhttp://amzn.com/B00452V66G16:43
cscheibmay get a couple of the day/night ones and record em to a USB drive somewhere16:46
cmaloneyhttp://www.amazon.com/Revell-Monogram-Missile-Plastic-Building/dp/B00BXP80DK16:48
cmaloneyAnd people say I'm hard to shop for16:48
cmaloney(also: WTF?)16:48
cmaloneyAnyone have anything that uses mini HDMI that needs cables to convert to regular HDMI?17:16
cmaloneyI just bought an adapter / cable and realized I need micro instead.17:25
jcastroI didn't know hdmi came in mini and micro17:26
rick_h_yea17:27
rick_h_had an hdmi port on my N10 I used to watch offline stuff in the camper17:27
rick_h_and hotels17:27
rick_h_but now the N9 killed it :(17:27
cscheibsome of the embedded platforms are using it, I think17:27
cscheibODROID C3 or whatever17:28
jcastroyou can do chromecast instead though right rick_h_?17:28
rick_h_jcastro: not if there's no wifi17:28
jcastrooh, duh17:28
rick_h_jcastro: that's the thing, you have to get them on the same wifi network to work I think17:28
rick_h_and yea, can't use offline tablet content17:28
cmaloneySo anywho, inquire within if you need htem17:30
cmaloneyWill cost me about half of the refund to ship it back to Amazon.17:31
cmaloneyI swear every time I use rst I have to look things up for simple things like "outline"18:49
cmaloneyAs soon as Sphinx supports Markdown I'll be happy. :)18:49
mthxYikes, appearently yahoo has a groups/mailing list service like google groups18:49
cmaloneymthx: They've had one longer than Google Groups18:50
cmaloneyUnfortunately it also sucks pretty hard18:50
mthxNever knew that. And it requires a yahoo account :(18:50
brouschIt used to be more open, but sticks ads in every email18:50
cmaloneyYep18:50
cmaloneybrousch: That's where Yahoo! makes their revenue18:50
cmaloneyon monetizing long-forgotten services that people still use for some odd-ball reason18:51
brouschIt is so crass18:51
greg-gparenting groups are all on yahoo groups :/18:51
mthxNow I need to come up with another clever username. *sigh*18:51
cmaloneysee also: my mother who insists on using Yahoo as a homepage.18:51
brouschLike every email from Gib with those damn fool ads in them18:51
cmaloneygreg-g: Several RPG groups are on Yahoo! Groups.18:51
cmaloneybrousch: That's juno18:51
brouschDoes he know that happens?18:52
cmaloneyand I swear I will pay him to stop using that fucking service.18:52
cmaloneyI'll register "gibisawesome.com" and create a mail account for him if he'll agree to stop using juno18:52
brouschhehe18:53
mthxHmm, so much fail. It requires an SMS verification to validate the account, but claims my phone number is not valid.18:53
cmaloneyopen offer, no expiration date18:53
cmaloneymthx: Yeah, Yahoo! is a PITA with their accounts18:54
mthxHmm, appearently its because it's a google voice number, and that'18:55
mthxthats not supported...18:55
cmaloneyYeah, Google Voice isn't true SMS18:57
cmaloneynot sure of the particulars, but it's never worked for stuff like Paypal18:58
mthxWell, I just looked at my phones carrier number for the first time.18:58
cmaloneyheh18:58
greg-gwow18:59
jcastrolots of SMS things don't work with gvoice numbers19:27
mrgoodcatanybody here have any experience using/setting up apache kafka?20:10
cmaloneySaw a presentation on it at PyOhio20:23
cmaloneyThat's about as far as I got with it20:23
cscheibrabbitmq or activemq seem to be more popular20:24
cscheibalthough, that doesn't necessarily mean anything20:24
derekv2kafka is not really a competitor to rabbitmq et al20:25
cmaloneyiirc it was more like Redis20:25
cmaloneyin some perverse way.20:25
cscheibah.20:26
cscheibI try to stay out of the middleware business anyway, heh20:26
derekv2it's a message queue designed to process and hold massive amounts of data for both realtime processing and offline processing20:26
derekv2the main difference is the later part.  you can replay the queue20:27
cscheibespecially since in MI, most of my customers are running IBM or Oracle crap20:27
cmaloneyah, I'm misremembering then20:27
derekv2i think linkedin pushes all it's data through it20:29
cmaloneyah, I was wondering why I was only hearing magnatune tracks when I hit "Random Albums" on my Squeezebox20:29
derekv2100% of everthing goes into kafka, then subscribers process the stream however makes sense for them20:29
cmaloneyApparently I set the library view (7.9 feature) to just the Magnatune albums20:29
cmaloneywhich wasn't bad, but threw me for a bit of a loop20:30
cmaloneyderekv2: That makes sense20:30
cmaloneySince most of LinkedIN stuff is only private if you aren't logged in. ;)20:31
derekv2i guess the point is that any data they have just goes into it like a central bus... server logs, click information, whatever20:31
derekv2conceptually, databases already keep logs (for a bit), and a (complete) log could be used to recreate the entire state of the database,20:34
derekv2so instead we invert things and create one massive log for everything, then you can do whatever you want with it, process in realtime with storm, or push into hadoop for MR,20:35
derekv2keep the resume/profile document store updated obviously, etc et20:35
derekv2http://www.se-radio.net/2015/02/episode-219-apache-kafka-with-jun-rao/20:36
derekv2anyways i'm trying to get my head around this stuff20:37
derekv2he was saying how rabbitmq et doesn't really persist the queue20:38
derekv2kafka does20:38
derekv2mrgoodcat: anyways i haven't used it but i was reading about it20:39
jrwrenderekv2: yeah, and kafka is like 10X faster than rabbitmq :)20:41
jrwrenrabbitmq is much more configurable.20:42
cmaloneyRabbitMQ is from a different era iirc.20:42
derekv2also relevent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU9hR3kiOK020:43
cmaloneyhttp://www.quora.com/RabbitMQ-vs-Kafka-which-one-for-durable-messaging-with-good-query-features20:43
derekv2though it's more about samza20:43
derekv2rabbitmq sounds like OTP20:45
greg-gbetween 9am and 2:30 (last 1:1 starting now) I've had a total of 25 minutes not in meetings.21:00
