[01:52] Just had a nice little power outage here [02:04] <_stink_> all those A/C units kicking on [02:11] it was 100 in Petaluma today [02:11] 103 yesterday [02:12] ugh [02:12] hot sucks, bring on fall/winter [02:23] I kinda like it, but it does get old after a while (and makes people cranky) [13:45] rick_h_: fall, maybe... winter, no. [13:45] booo! bring on the snow! [13:45] though I'll miss fishing night once winter comes [13:54] Morning [13:55] rick_h_: We'll miss vicarious-fishing. ;) [13:56] cmaloney: hat came mount arriving tomorrow :) [13:56] camera [14:02] Steady cam coming soon? :) [14:02] naw, loses something of the gritty quality :P === dzho_ is now known as dzho [14:19] rick_h_: ice fishing [15:20] brousch: shush [15:21] slush [15:25] greg-g++ [15:25] heh [15:33] :) [15:36] no ice fishing, I like fishing because i'm outside in nice weather :) [15:39] but beer! getting away from family! that's the entire point of fishing right? [15:40] ummm no, it's sitting in a kayak on a calm body of water with egrets, swans, hawks, and some fishing coming around :) [15:40] I thought it was to get cheap seafood [15:40] though yes, without the 5yr old adds to the peaceful factor [15:40] no, not cheap [15:40] kayak + rods/reels + baits + pfd + ... [15:40] As opposed to freezing ass off sitting in a shanty around a hole hoping you're not generating enough heat to melt the ice [15:40] fresh? [15:41] cmaloney: umm yea, not really the reasons I got fishing [15:41] My godfather did ice fishing. I was out there at a young age wondering what the appeal was [15:42] I actually kind of like non-shanty ice fishing [15:42] A guy at work brings a small apartment onto the ice and camps in it for a week [15:42] it's an excuse to get on the ice and chill [15:42] (no pun intended, but I"ll take it) [15:44] I'd rather relax at home, with the fireplace, and power [15:45] oh, the home with fireplace after being on the ice is even better! [15:45] :) [15:45] my grandparents lived on a lake in northern WI, loved it up there year round [15:45] wish my uncles/aunts wouldn't have sold it [17:13] http://www.enricozini.org/2015/debian/standup-comedy-notes/ <- greg-g This is good stuff (slightly NSFW) [17:13] greg-g: Thanks for sharing that on identi.ca [19:46] http://searchengineland.com/wikipedia-confirms-they-are-steadily-losing-google-traffic-228237 [19:46] greg-g: ^^ I've been noticing that for a while now [19:46] it's like the wikipedia results are coming up lower and lower [20:20] jcastro: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108895 [20:21] https://github.com/wikimedia-research/memo/blob/master/report.pdf [20:21] also, who the fuck trusts searchengineland? [20:21] they are the worst [20:21] but, yeah, stupid knowledge graph [20:21] I don't konw the numbers too well [20:22] I don't care much about searchengine land [20:22] I'm just saying I notice that wikipedia results are now usually half way down the page [20:22] instead of the usual top [20:22] yeah :/ [20:22] I think? [20:22] or, google just scrapes the info and presents it to me [20:22] they do a lot more than that, but yeah :) [20:22] they scrap and all in their own info etc to make that "knowledge graph" thing [20:22] they do enough to make me not click through [20:23] which I suspects hurts in the long run [20:23] yup [20:23] readers -> light editors -> heavy editors [20:23] we're also losing active editors [20:24] I've never really edited [20:24] I am not expert enough in one thing to contribute anything, mostly I consume [20:25] word, most editors start out with typo/grammar fixes [20:44] I've done a handful of edits [20:46] my biggest deterrent to editing is stepping into some flame-war between editors [20:54] yup, it sucks [21:04] http://www.theonion.com/article/jeff-bezos-assures-amazon-employees-hr-working-100-51121 [21:04] cmaloney: yea, it's like stepping into a bunch of linux geeks arguing about something [21:04] aka, I don't want to be there [21:06] KDE rules! Gnome drools! :-p [21:09] Or worse: editing something on a page that has little noteriety [21:10] for fear that the added attention will get the information that's there yanked [21:12] http://arstechnica.com/science/2015/08/socially-controversial-science-topics-on-wikipedia-draw-edit-wars/ [21:12] just ran into this [21:13] creepy coincidence feeling
