[00:02] Wasn't Amazon rated as one if the most toxic places to work in America [00:03] Like they seem to run on a burn & churn schedule [00:07] I think you're right about the pay and you can do way better! [00:10] 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. [00:17] Are you moving away from us? :( [00:33] 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 notation [00:33] *staring [00:34] 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. [00:36] @RazPi, CIDR notation for ipv4? [00:36] Yes, I suck at networking [00:36] I finally came across some good docs that explained historically what classless even meant [00:37] oh eh - I saw CIDR but no mention of anything network located. like "Am I thinking of the right CIDR?" lol [00:37] Yep! [00:37] classful as a concept needs to die [00:37] I didn't even know it was a thing so the history lesson helped [00:37] It's like Subnet 0 [00:37] just, 'go away' with these old ideas lol [00:38] That's cool tho [00:38] the only use I had for classful was for fleshing out a subnet calculator [00:39] if you're anywhere near network design tho, you'll probably hear/talk about it daily [00:39] because it's easier to say a private class c instead of 192.x.x.x or other mouth drudgery [00:41] So 'R' is hard [00:42] If you go in with a 'imma programmer' mindset it's a pita [00:42] it feels like excel on a console window [00:42] thinking about it as 'text excel' makes me feel better [00:43] Aaaahhh CIDR [00:43] you don't have arrays, they're 'vectors' [00:43] no strings, ints, doubles, floars, chars [00:43] no no --- 'numerics' 'somethingelsedumbforstrings' [00:45] Speaking of, I need to go and do CCNP [00:45] @gillymomo, git r dun m8 [00:45] how far in? [00:46] I have time [00:46] Is it anything like Matlab? [00:46] I have CCNA [00:46] And Net+ [00:46] I want Linux+ [00:46] @RazPi, Me and a Matlab guy were complaining about these 'ism's last week [00:46] ah certs =\ [00:47] My lfcs just expired [00:47] ccna just renewed [00:47] ccnp in prog - but then job things happened and I'm rolled off my backbone [00:47] I don't know if R is matrix oriented but Matlab certainly is and it shows [00:48] the bit I've played with makes me thing it's very heavy on vectors and matrices [00:48] like, you have data [00:48] and you do stuff with it [00:48] Do you get conditionals? [00:48] but you're gonna almost always present in via vector/matrix [00:49] You probably have sums and standard deviations built in then? [00:49] @RazPi, I'm not sure tbh. I've gone as far as basic <, >, <= like tests [00:49] there are built-ins like sum and c [00:50] like I'm used to something like my_list = ['a', 'b', 'c'] [00:50] R equiv: my_list <- c('a', 'b', 'c') [00:50] if my_list were ints (or w/e R calls em) ---- my_sums = sum(my_list) [00:51] but if you have a vector like that, and you're gonna make humans look at it [00:51] you can literally name the indices of the vector [00:51] ^ basically 'headers' for an excel sheet [00:52] name(my_list) <- c("alpha", "bravo", "charlie") [00:53] it's good for statisitics, should say a lot I suppose. R -> statistics as Matlab -> academia/numbers [00:54] it's all foreign to me, so ya [00:55] 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 guess [00:56] @AdamOutler, Be frank about pay, get da mark on da resume, go elsewhere after ~2 years :D [00:56] ^I apologize for the stream of conciousness [00:58] Work has me wired [01:01] @Abrerr Are you sure you want to go R? I thought Octave was supposed to be the MatLab clone [01:01] I actually just installed Octave too [01:01] 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 :\ [01:02] Do they have a lot of statistics people there or is it a buzzword for them? [01:02] Instead of just crunching numbers, I feel like with Python I can get stuff done on top of crunching the numbers [01:02] I think in statistics your underlying number representation may matter, I'm not sure if python suffers from rounding errors or not [01:02] @RazPi, One of our 'higher ups' likes R -- so kinda makes it a done deal I guess. lol [01:02] .. do they use it? [01:03] I like common lisp but I can't reasonably convert anyone yet XD [01:03] depending on accuracy, numpy is probably accurate enough for most cases [01:03] @RazPi, software team is redoing an entire database/delivery system to work in R [01:03] I do admit, matplot lib can be -really nice- [01:04] holy cow [01:04] I've heard R suffers in large datasets [01:04] and ours are pretty sizeable [01:06] R is supposed to have tons of visualization support [01:06] another reason for R [01:06] I'll just keep doing my personal tools in python [01:06] #rebel [01:07] XD [01:08] I'm going to trudge along with octave [01:08] 'largely' compatible [01:08] drop-in ready compat? [01:11] ?iiiiiiiii just bricked my work phone? [01:12] wha? [01:14] It just stopped working. Doesn't power on - plugging in the charger makes no difference [01:15] I'm lost. [01:15] D: [01:15] It has my 'secure token' for work vpn. [01:16] I still have a few more hours of work to do [01:16] guesssssssssssssss I'm going back to work. ugh [01:27] Wrapping up a work meeting [01:51] So weird thing [01:51] My laptop seems to be able to surf networks before accepting the guest login page [01:52] I don't know if that's just me or something that usually happens [01:52] I'm just using the basic ifconfig wlan0 with wpa_supplicant.conf [01:52] you're bypassing a captive portal on a guest wifi? [01:52] weird is subjective [01:53] Not on purpose? [01:53] I just didn't notice I was surfing without it [01:53] then I accepted it and suddenly I could use pkg install again [01:54] yeah, i went there [01:54] @Ivoriesablaze I want to call my window manager "Y2K" [01:54] why? [01:55] He must like 5k's [01:56] Because my UI nostalgia heralds back to 2000 [01:57] The gimp 2.10 splash screen looks very nice and professional [02:03] Octave looks nice @RazPi [02:05] It's used in Andrew Ng's machine learning course [02:13] VScode huehuehue [02:13] @RazPi, I need to get in on that [02:30] R strsplit returns a nested vector [02:30] much derp, I r feeling [02:42] There should be some syntax sugar for that? [02:42] https://www.iecc.com/linker/ [02:42] Found another nice page [02:43] dbl bracket to specify the indice of the returned vector :\ [02:43] subvector ** [02:44] I'm trying to suffer through a dice roller [02:44] I'll link you a gist or pastebin after if you want [03:01] Sure! [03:16] https://pastebin.com/0wWHHttB [03:18] take input: 6d12 - and sum all rolls [03:18] no for loops to populate a list to sum later [03:20] sample() does that all on it's own, returning a vector or ints/numerics. you provide a range and number of elements you want [03:20] ^ just weird stuff like that. [03:20] It looks simple enough, but stumbling through R :\ [05:07] soo manyy examples! https://matplotlib.org/gallery/index.html [05:27] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6L8Q61N4fM [08:05] @Abrerr I don't know whether to be horrify or amazed that you did string manipulation with that xD [15:00] Free GOLD STATUS with CHASE. Save 5¢/gallon at Shell throughout 2019 … https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/12638053 [15:01] @KMyers [15:01] If you still have those, it may be worth trying to stack it with the tmobile offer [16:59] 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/ [17:01] @SivaMachina, She is being kept safe and being wrapped in buddle wrap before being put back in cold storage [17:08] God the Florida DMV is shit... [17:09] They have no digital forms. [17:13] You are in Florida? [17:34] Nope. [17:34] It's for my motorcycle. [18:00] Is the cycle still registered in Florida? [18:07] Yes I need the title but there is a loan on it. [18:51] 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 registration [19:43] That's bull crap. [22:16] @govatent thanks for the heads up though. [22:16] I might never get the bike a CO plate with the madness. [22:16] Tell them your folks just got it to you [22:17] 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] Just stupid. [22:18] The bike is covered by State Farm that's all I should need.
