[07:17] Urgh, such an Americanised wrapper. And I'm not sure they're Europe's favoUrite. They might have the numbers but only because every cafe in France doles them out with a cuppa. [07:19] Oh this is a rebranded Speculoos? I take it all back. [07:57] Morning all [08:49] =/me wave [08:49] * foobarry wave [08:49] * SuperMatt particle [08:55] howdy all [09:03] morning boys and girls. [09:04] Hello brobostigon [09:05] hello MooDoo [09:06] MooDoo: me owld mukka [09:12] hello davmor2 howdy tricks? brobostigon howdy :D [09:12] :) [09:48] aloha [09:49] howdy czajkowski :) [09:52] MooDoo: hows things? [09:53] czajkowski: yeah ok thanks, how's your good self....and speak up it's a bit noisy in here ;) [09:57] been a bit busy recently but always on here even if I don't say much [09:57] getting ready for crazy travel season in september [10:00] safe journeys :) === MooDoo is now known as Guest86680 [10:24] RAT doodle time https://beta.doodle.com/poll/drwv3c2pwcqs33ny === Guest86680 is now known as MooDoo [13:16] man i hate pinterest [13:16] requiring a login to see stuff [13:17] The worst part about it is that it's kinda creating a protection racket for the internet [13:17] I used to be able to google a term, and the image I wanted was the first one [13:17] Now it's moved down a couple of pages because all the other results are just pinterest [13:19] what! you didn't install the app and create an account to see if the image is what you wanted?! [13:19] and those pinterest links are just taken from other sites [13:19] when you add something to pinterest, they prefer that you don't upload oringinal content but link from other sites [13:19] and pinterest is a bit broken atm. having trouble logging in on desktop and mobile over last few weeks [13:19] they make it much more of a faff to keep oringinal content there [13:22] SuperMatt: that's a very pertinent thought about the way we're getting walled-off areas of the tinternet [13:22] the same is happening with news going behind paywalls [13:22] that's been happening pre web with the likes of aol and compuserv [13:23] It's partly our own fault. We want free content, but nothing comes for free. We can either have ads, or we can pay for what we want [13:23] "human knowledge belong to the world" and "this is the real world. and in the real world when you kill people they die. for real." [13:24] in other news i boguht GTA V [13:25] :) [13:25] I haven't played that for ages [13:25] i'm still playing skyrim though [13:25] the language in GATA is eye watering [13:25] I've gone off games [13:25] I'm mostly playing Rust recently [13:25] but now my wife is away for a week, and I don't know what I'm going to do with myself [13:26] i wish you could turn it off. i basically have to have the sound off [13:26] rust as in a game or rust as in programming? [13:26] Game [13:26] rustlang can eat my shorts. I'm a go daddy [13:26] :-D [13:26] I like that, go daddy [13:26] I just made it up [13:27] recruiters are loving seeing go on my cv [13:27] \o/ [13:28] I've only written one whole thing in go: github.com/bowlhat/sftp-deploy - it uses a couple other packages that I wrote to wrap the ssh client and stuff but they were all written specifically for that prog [13:28] I've written a few things [13:29] :) [13:29] https://github.com/SuperMatt/mlog - a simple logging library, https://github.com/SuperMatt/pulllist - a tool to list all the comics DC are releasing this week, https://github.com/SuperMatt/tubestatus - the current london underground status [13:29] That's all the stuff I can release on my github page, because I do have things I've written for work [13:31] Although this isn't written in go, it's my crowning glory: https://github.com/SuperMatt/countdown [13:31] also accessible here: https://matty.digital/countdown/ [14:15] hey popey, i listened to that "ready steady code" podcast the other day. is the code they wrote released anywhere? [14:54] * Gargoyle waves [15:28] o/ [15:40] coooeeeyyy! [15:40] (that's a local way of saying "yooohooo") [15:54] flexiondotorg: see question from ali1234 .. where did the code get put? [15:54] * flexiondotorg is a bad man. [15:54] i thought we'd put it on the podcast github repo [15:54] but can't find it [15:54] I'll fix that later. [15:54] kk [15:55] Not in out GitHub yet. It will appear, as if by magic, here later - https://github.com/ubuntupodcast/ [15:55] *our [15:55] ali1234: hows the pi stuff going? Got any more hardware projects on the go? (I use those usb adapters daily) [15:58] thanks [15:58] i'm working on software stuff at the moment [15:58] the goal is a ramdisk-based firmware with Qt and gstreamer, for kiosk stuff [15:59] i just rebased it on stretch and found a mountain of bugs [16:00] i keep seeing stuff about snap for embedded, but it doesn't work for me due to being too big, and not working on the pi zero [16:03] on the hardware side i built this: https://goo.gl/photos/FGiXMqUoBpsMvPYn9 [16:03] that's one possible target for the ramdisk stuff, since it's liable to be powered off anytime [16:04] that's jolly cute [16:04] it involves some custom SLA printing from dirty pcb [16:04] it's really amazing what you can get made in china these days [16:05] yeah [16:05] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLxWsYx8dbo SpaceX launch in 25 minutes [16:06] ooh ta [16:06] is this the hp linux super computer one? [16:06] i got two of these for $2.50 each with free shipping: https://goo.gl/photos/qccBiWb3m2rpsgcs8 (it's the light guide that goes on the front) [16:06] popey: think so [16:07] ali1234: 3d printed at home? [16:07] no in china :) [16:07] hah [16:07] for pennies? [16:07] yeah... and home printers can't print in anywhere near that resolution [16:07] nasatv are doing it too: https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/#public [16:07] it's SLA, so lasers and liquid resin, not the "squirt melted plastic out of a nozzle" stuff [16:08] * diddledan squirts liquid resin at ali1234 [16:08] ahh [16:08] :-p [16:08] that's a cute lil clocky thing tho [16:09] i just uploaded a STL made in openscad and got the prints in the mail a couple of weeks later [16:09] guess it's more than just a clock [16:09] how many for how much? [16:09] if you dont mind me asking [16:09] for the prints? [16:09] ya [16:09] two for $2.50 each [16:09] shipped? [16:09] yes, free shipping [16:09] that's crazy cheap [16:09] sheesh [16:10] actually it might have been like $2.25 each and $0.50 shipping or something, i forget :) [16:10] they must have made a loss [16:10] it's ridiculously cheap anyway [16:11] their costs are super low [16:11] there's no wasted resin with SLA, you just top up the tank [16:11] they charge by weight of the finished print [16:11] which the website calculates [16:12] really awesome [16:12] * diddledan tries to think of things to get printed [16:13] at the moment it really is just a clock, but you can add eg an audio board and make a upnp music player or something [16:13] which is why i'm working on gstreamer in a ramdisk :) [16:15] my latest toy is a nanopi air, which is super tiny [16:15] rpi has all the cool hardware tho, that's the problem [16:16] all the clock hardware is pimoroni stuff [16:16] just hats stacked together [16:17] it wouldn't be nearly as nice if it was a bunch of different sized boards cobbled together... but that's all it really is [16:18] i wanted something smaller but more powerful than the pizero [16:18] also, toy [16:19] you mean, something with ARMv7 right? ;) [16:19] :D [16:19] a bit of that, yes :) [16:21] whats the gpu like in nanopi? [16:21] dunno, only used it over serial console so far [16:21] i really like the videocore gpu [16:22] it works great with Qt through their proprietary drivers, it's as smooth as using an iphone [16:22] wow [16:22] if you write QML stuff, the animations are perfect [16:22] this is using EGLFS, so no bloated X11 [16:23] really nice with their 7" touch display for rss reader or photo frame type stuff [16:24] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGyPXc5nbNo [16:25] nice [16:25] about 14 out of the 15 seconds it takes to boot are spent loading the initrd from the sd card and uncompressing it [16:27] total size is 66MB compressed [16:29] also it's pure systemd... i loooove systemd now [16:29] hahah [16:29] was there ever any doubt? [16:29] (you don't need to answer that) [16:29] well i never really hated it [16:30] I used to be in the "why?" camp [16:30] yeah [16:30] I'm not in the "pretty useful" camp [16:30] but, like, now i understand [16:30] now* [16:30] I'm now in the "pretty useful" camp [16:31] 1 minute to rocket liftoff if anyone wants to watch that :) [16:31] flaming phaluses [16:31] already on second screen :) [16:31] great having that on in the background [16:31] weird that it's so commonplace now that it's just on as background noise here [16:31] smooth as silk [16:32] I remember watching the last spacex to explode on launch live [16:32] i dont think I have ever seen them explode live [16:32] was just thinking it will be weird whwen they launch so often that nobody cares to even bother streaming it [16:32] looking good [16:32] 1000 km/h is insane [16:33] I believe this is a reused first sstage, too [16:33] i love the landings [16:33] is it landing on boat or land? [16:34] they blow my mind [16:34] on land by the sounds of the commentary [16:34] going back to the cape [16:35] my kids are already blasé about it [16:35] wow. epic view of the separation [16:35] same with when the ISS goes over [16:36] aside from the whole 'thing going into space and coming back' there's the fact we can watch this in pretty decent quality video [16:36] those direction control thrusters are showing up well on the distance view of the first stage [16:36] it's all a bit mind blowing [16:36] douglas adams was right [16:38] looks like it's properly plummeting like a rock [16:39] it looks out of control [16:39] amazing [16:40] wow, that was good [16:41] I wonder how much AI learning is being tasked to constantly improve the landing procedure [16:41] the presenter seems quite happy [16:42] i think he introduced himself as a firmware engineer [16:42] must be a tense time [16:44] this is insane, watching live video from space [17:54] i think when they were tweeting from marianas trench it was cooler imho [18:45] * diddledan sings: hey mr. tallynadger, show me your banana. [18:46] ..daylight come, and me wanna go home. [18:49] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMigXnXMhQ4 [18:49] i canna find the comedy version though... :-( [18:51] ah ha... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-9h1pjTP74 [21:51] http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-40927791 [21:51] this story doesn't sit well with me [22:03] it's gonna give cyclists a bad rep when in reality he's just a moron [22:05] well the comments saying that brakes would've solved it is also rubbish [22:05] usually when a cyclist is a moron it's their own life they throw away. this muppet will go to jail and this crime will follow him for the rest of his life [22:06] muppet for riding a fixie, or another element? [22:06] certainly posting to a forum about it is a bit iffy [22:09] Don't see why it's gone to trial!? [22:09] 1) muppet for riding a non legal bike [22:10] comments on forum won't help his case [22:10] never heard anything about legality to fixies on the road before o0 [22:11] i think they do have you need front brakes thing, saw it mentioned a while back in some forum [22:12] what's the stopping distance for a well maintained bicycle going 20mph, I wonder [22:12] tonnes of variables there [22:12] depends if it's wet/dry/gutter filled with leaves [22:12] type of brake, whether the bike has both or not... [22:12] "In the case of a pure pedal cycle (no electrical assistance) these regulations are so simple, that the only parts that matter are the brakes." [22:12] weight of bike, speed [22:13] "The basic requirement is for two efficient braking systems, by which the front wheel (or wheels) can be braked independently of the rear wheel (or wheels). " [22:13] what are you quoting from? [22:13] http://www.cyclinguk.org/cyclists-library/regulations/construction-use [22:13] 90% of the time i put on the brakes, put both feet on the ground and lifted front wheel. lots of sparks, lots of skidding. stopped fast [22:13] when are we gonna get self-cycling bicycles like the google cars [22:15] ;) [22:15] remove all humans from the equation and you're set :-p [22:15] till the robot rebellion... [22:15] rise of the cycling machines [22:15] on that day, stay away from the dildo factory... :-P [22:16] vibrated to death! [22:17] what's that series of films where there are gruesome deaths by robotic saws and stuff? [22:17] Saw? :P [22:19] I think it's called "hardware" [22:19] with Tim the toolman Taylor? :D [22:20] nope, screamers! [22:20] it was screamers [22:20] hardware is similar tho [22:20] maybe nsfw trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WksPMueXkP4 [22:23] meh, i'll stick with tremors... [22:24] I think you have issues with large vibrating things! ;-) === Chrisfu- is now known as Chrisfu [23:55] WEEEEEEE [23:55] have a nice split? [23:56] g'night \o [23:56] splitter === Chrisfu is now known as 32NAAT2HW [23:56] o/ [23:56] :-p
