floridagram-bot<RazPi> Wasn't Amazon rated as one if the most toxic places to work in America00:02
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Like they seem to run on a burn & churn schedule00:03
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I think you're right about the pay and you can do way better!00:07
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Yeah. They didn't want to talk about it.  But, working for Amazon would be like working for Microsoft or something.  There's some prestige there.00:10
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Are you moving away from us? :(00:17
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I have to say after starting at jails documentation for a while it's starting to click, I had to cover a lot of basic ground I wasn't familiar with though, like CIDR notation00:33
floridagram-bot<RazPi> *staring00:33
floridagram-bot<RazPi> But it's kind of genius how simple it is. It's not a packaged up tool. It's assembled from other parts of the operating system, so it's actually a composite of very simple concepts.00:34
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @RazPi, CIDR notation for ipv4?00:36
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Yes, I suck at networking00:36
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I finally came across some good docs that explained historically what classless even meant00:36
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> oh eh - I saw CIDR but no mention of anything network located. like "Am I thinking of the right CIDR?" lol00:37
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Yep!00:37
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> classful as a concept needs to die00:37
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I didn't even know it was a thing so the history lesson helped00:37
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> It's like Subnet 000:37
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> just, 'go away' with these old ideas lol00:37
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> That's cool tho00:38
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> the only use I had for classful was for fleshing out a subnet calculator00:38
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> if you're anywhere near network design tho, you'll probably hear/talk about it daily00:39
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> because it's easier to say a private class c instead of 192.x.x.x or other mouth drudgery00:39
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> So 'R' is hard00:41
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> If you go in with a 'imma programmer' mindset it's a pita00:42
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> it feels like excel on a console window00:42
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> thinking about it as 'text excel' makes me feel better00:42
floridagram-bot<gillymomo> Aaaahhh CIDR00:43
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> you don't have arrays, they're 'vectors'00:43
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> no strings, ints, doubles, floars, chars00:43
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> no no --- 'numerics' 'somethingelsedumbforstrings'00:43
floridagram-bot<gillymomo> Speaking of, I need to go and do CCNP00:45
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @gillymomo, git r dun m800:45
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> how far in?00:45
floridagram-bot<gillymomo> I have time00:46
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Is it anything like Matlab?00:46
floridagram-bot<gillymomo> I have CCNA00:46
floridagram-bot<gillymomo> And Net+00:46
floridagram-bot<gillymomo> I want Linux+00:46
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @RazPi, Me and a Matlab guy were complaining about these 'ism's last week00:46
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> ah certs =\00:46
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> My lfcs just expired00:47
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> ccna just renewed00:47
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> ccnp in prog - but then job things happened and I'm rolled off my backbone00:47
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I don't know if R is matrix oriented but Matlab certainly is and it shows00:47
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> the bit I've played with makes me thing it's very heavy on vectors and matrices00:48
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> like, you have data00:48
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> and you do stuff with it00:48
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Do you get conditionals?00:48
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> but you're gonna almost always present in via vector/matrix00:48
floridagram-bot<RazPi> You probably have sums and standard deviations built in then?00:49
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @RazPi, I'm not sure tbh. I've gone as far as basic <, >, <= like tests00:49
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> there are built-ins like sum and c00:49
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> like I'm used to something like my_list = ['a', 'b', 'c']00:50
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> R equiv: my_list <- c('a', 'b', 'c')00:50
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> if my_list were ints (or w/e R calls em) ---- my_sums = sum(my_list)00:50
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> but if you have a vector like that, and you're gonna make humans look at it00:51
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> you can literally name the indices of the vector00:51
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> ^ basically 'headers' for an excel sheet00:51
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> name(my_list) <- c("alpha", "bravo", "charlie")00:52
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> it's good for statisitics, should say a lot I suppose. R -> statistics as Matlab -> academia/numbers00:53
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> it's all foreign to me, so ya00:54
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> But I'm porting a matlab application over to R as an Rshiny dashboard in the next few weeks - so I'll uh, figure it out I guess00:55
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @AdamOutler, Be frank about pay, get da mark on da resume, go elsewhere after ~2 years :D00:56
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> ^I apologize for the stream of conciousness00:56
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> Work has me wired00:58
floridagram-bot<RazPi> @Abrerr Are you sure you want to go R? I thought Octave was supposed to be the MatLab clone01:01
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I actually just installed Octave too01:01
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> I want to all Python. But work is turning into an R shop. I'm not sure of the benefit - but it wasn't my decision :\01:01
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Do they have a lot of statistics people there or is it a buzzword for them?01:02
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> Instead of just crunching numbers, I feel like with Python I can get stuff done on top of crunching the numbers01:02
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I think in statistics your underlying number representation may matter, I'm not sure if python suffers from rounding errors or not01:02
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @RazPi, One of our 'higher ups' likes R -- so kinda makes it a done deal I guess. lol01:02
floridagram-bot<RazPi> .. do they use it?01:02
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I like common lisp but I can't reasonably convert anyone yet XD01:03
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> depending on accuracy, numpy is probably accurate enough for most cases01:03
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @RazPi, software team is redoing an entire database/delivery system to work in R01:03
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I do admit, matplot lib can be -really nice-01:03
floridagram-bot<RazPi> holy cow01:04
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> I've heard R suffers in large datasets01:04
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> and ours are pretty sizeable01:04
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> R is supposed to have tons of visualization support01:06
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> another reason for R01:06
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> I'll just keep doing my personal tools in python01:06
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> #rebel01:06
floridagram-bot<RazPi> XD01:07
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I'm going to trudge along with octave01:08
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> 'largely' compatible01:08
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> drop-in ready compat?01:08
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> ?iiiiiiiii just bricked my work phone?01:11
floridagram-bot<RazPi> wha?01:12
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> It just stopped working. Doesn't power on - plugging in the charger makes no difference01:14
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> I'm lost.01:15
floridagram-bot<RazPi> D:01:15
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> It has my 'secure token' for work vpn.01:15
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> I still have a few more hours of work to do01:16
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> guesssssssssssssss I'm going back to work. ugh01:16
floridagram-bot<KMyers> Wrapping up a work meeting01:27
floridagram-bot<RazPi> So weird thing01:51
floridagram-bot<RazPi> My laptop seems to be able to surf networks before accepting the guest login page01:51
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I don't know if that's just me or something that usually happens01:52
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I'm just using the basic ifconfig wlan0 with wpa_supplicant.conf01:52
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> you're bypassing a captive portal on a guest wifi?01:52
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> weird is subjective01:52
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Not on purpose?01:53
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I just didn't notice I was surfing without it01:53
floridagram-bot<RazPi> then I accepted it and suddenly I could use pkg install again01:53
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> yeah, i went there01:54
floridagram-bot<RazPi> @Ivoriesablaze I want to call my window manager "Y2K"01:54
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> why?01:54
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> He must like 5k's01:55
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Because my UI nostalgia heralds back to 200001:56
floridagram-bot<RazPi> The gimp 2.10 splash screen looks very nice and professional01:57
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> Octave looks nice @RazPi02:03
floridagram-bot<RazPi> It's used in Andrew Ng's machine learning course02:05
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> VScode huehuehue02:13
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @RazPi, I need to get in on that02:13
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> R strsplit returns a nested vector02:30
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> much derp, I r feeling02:30
floridagram-bot<RazPi> There should be some syntax sugar for that?02:42
floridagram-bot<RazPi> https://www.iecc.com/linker/02:42
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Found another nice page02:42
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> dbl bracket to specify the indice of the returned vector :\02:43
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> subvector **02:43
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> I'm trying to suffer through a dice roller02:44
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> I'll link you a gist or pastebin after if you want02:44
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Sure!03:01
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> https://pastebin.com/0wWHHttB03:16
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> take input: 6d12 - and sum all rolls03:18
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> no for loops to populate a list to sum later03:18
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> sample() does that all on it's own, returning a vector or ints/numerics. you provide a range and number of elements you want03:20
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> ^ just weird stuff like that.03:20
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> It looks simple enough, but stumbling through R :\03:20
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> soo manyy examples! https://matplotlib.org/gallery/index.html05:07
floridagram-bot<KMyers> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6L8Q61N4fM05:27
floridagram-bot<RazPi> @Abrerr I don't know whether to be horrify or amazed that you did string manipulation with that xD08:05

floridagram-bot<govatent> @KMyers15:01
floridagram-bot<govatent> If you still have those, it may be worth trying to stack it with the tmobile offer15:01
floridagram-bot<SivaMachina> Us Weekly: Betty White Turns 97, Is Still ‘Waiting for Robert Redford to Call’. … https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/betty-whites-feeling-great-on-her-97th-birthday-her-one-wish/16:59
floridagram-bot<KMyers> @SivaMachina, She is being kept safe and being wrapped in buddle wrap before being put back in cold storage17:01
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> God the Florida DMV is shit...17:08
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> They have no digital forms.17:09
floridagram-bot<KMyers> You are in Florida?17:13
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> Nope.17:34
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> It's for my motorcycle.17:34
floridagram-bot<govatent> Is the cycle still registered in Florida?18:00
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> Yes I need the title but there is a loan on it.18:07
floridagram-bot<govatent> Btw, make sure you don't tell them the cycle has been in Colorado for over a year. They make you pay back taxes on registration18:51
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> That's bull crap.19:43
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> @govatent thanks for the heads up though.22:16
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> I might never get the bike a CO plate with the madness.22:16
floridagram-bot<govatent> Tell them your folks just got it to you22:16
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> Bank says I need to talk to the Florida DMV for a copy of the title and Florida DMV says to talk to the Bank.22:17
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> Just stupid.22:17
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> The bike is covered by State Farm that's all I should need.22:18
