| 10:29.06 | ChoHag | God damn kids. |
| 10:29.18 | ChoHag | "Let's replace all this working code with ruby." |
| 10:29.21 | ChoHag | No,. |
| 10:33.04 | gregj | tea |
| 10:33.18 | gregj | ChoHag: oh dear |
| 10:33.22 | gregj | ChoHag: still better then java |
| 10:33.48 | gregj | "lets rewrite it all in C, C++ is so wrong" |
| 10:33.56 | gregj | the number times I've heard that from idiots |
| 10:34.01 | wethrin | "Let's replace this worki...." NO |
| 10:34.10 | gregj | :-) |
| 10:34.16 | wethrin | I prefer C to C++ |
| 10:34.26 | gregj | altho to be fair, sometimes taking a different path completely, architecturaly and design wise, makes sense |
| 10:34.33 | wethrin | But then, I don't do crazy object oriented stuff |
| 10:34.35 | gregj | however, just choosing different language - not so much |
| 10:34.45 | wethrin | How about choosing the right language for the job? |
| 10:34.49 | gregj | wethrin: you're probably writing stuff that can be done in python |
| 10:34.55 | wethrin | Oh probably yes |
| 10:35.10 | wethrin | I could even do it in Fortran, I'm sure |
| 10:35.11 | gregj | problem is, people learn 1-2 languages, and are afraid of change |
| 10:35.20 | gregj | that's usualy a wholemark of an idiot |
| 10:35.38 | gregj | I'm an idiot cos I can't spell, but that's another matter |
| 10:35.44 | wethrin | The problem is it's difficult to teach programming concepts without picking a specific language as an example |
| 10:35.50 | wethrin | hallmark |
| 10:35.52 | wethrin | :) |
| 10:36.01 | gregj | I know, I realised after typing it |
| 10:36.09 | wethrin | Danged Poles...coming over here....misspelling our words.... ;-) |
| 10:36.22 | gregj | thanks, please remind me each time I misspell something |
| 10:36.41 | gregj | some people at work think I'm Irish, cos of my aquired irish 'sexy' R |
| 10:37.52 | gregj | we had a xmas lunch yesterday, and a lady asked me if I'm "going back to belfast on xmas" |
| 10:38.11 | gregj | was rather shocked, when I told her I'm from earth, not specific country |
| 10:38.36 | gregj | people are even more shocked when I tell them NI is in the UK |
| 10:38.57 | wethrin | Yes, because GB and UK tend to be used interchangingly |
| 10:39.05 | wethrin | Even though one is a subset of the other |
| 10:39.22 | gregj | exactly |
| 10:39.38 | gregj | I haven't tried to tell people here yet, that calling someone irish in NI might not be a good idea |
| 10:39.45 | gregj | majority of people will not like it |
| 10:40.15 | gregj | there's of course 'republican' minority, and they'll do burst up if you call them british |
| 10:40.16 | ChoHag | wethrin: That was my response. "It works" is 9/10ths of Ops. |
| 10:40.32 | gregj | fix bugs :-) |
| 10:40.34 | wethrin | You need that Batman-slapping meme |
| 10:40.41 | gregj | :D |
| 10:40.42 | ChoHag | Especially considering how fucked everything is, let's not fuck with things eh? |
| 10:41.09 | gregj | it's fucked up probably by one guy, and other guy trying to rewrite it doesn't realise that he is the same type of fuck up himself |
| 10:41.15 | gregj | (or herself) |
| 10:44.36 | gregj | just is younger and learned one different language |
| 10:51.15 | gregj | blaps randomly again |
| 10:56.32 | wethrin | BRAP |
| 10:56.37 | ChoHag | He presented a monitoring/alerting framework to somebody yesterday. |
| 10:56.50 | wethrin | being alone in the office++ # Motohead on speakers |
| 10:57.03 | ChoHag | It looks the same as every other monitoring framework plan I've seen, only with new nouns. |
| 10:57.25 | ChoHag | But these nouns are New! and Shiny! |
| 10:58.09 | gregj | wethrin: :D |
| 11:00.22 | wethrin | Also, youtube++ for having various full albums there |
| 11:03.38 | yaMatt | youtube is my music player of choice now |
| 11:03.56 | ChoHag | "Triggers the creation of rendering.log which logs timings for calls to the The Render URL API" |
| 11:05.20 | ChoHag | So the statistics-gathering programme does not send statistics about itself directly to itself. |
| 11:05.34 | wethrin | On a slightly different note, Facebook seems to be becoming a single-sign-on option around the internet |
| 11:05.57 | wethrin | I'm tempted to create a second Facebook account, just for these sign-on things |
| 11:08.08 | ChoHag | It has made me consider creating a facebook account. |
| 11:08.55 | wethrin | I don't want to run the risk of shit spamming my Wall |
| 11:08.59 | wethrin | Hence the second account |
| 11:10.18 | ChoHag | Has anyone used Graphite? |
| 11:11.07 | ChoHag | As near as I can tell it is a NIH reimplementation of RRD (in python because why write a low-level db?) with an unauthenticated network front-end for pushing data. |
| 11:11.19 | ChoHag | Am I missing something? |
| 11:14.37 | ChoHag | "whisper was written over the course of a weekend out of desperation to solve a show-stopper problem before a critical launch date." aka I didn't bother reading the docs until it was too late so reinvented my own bare-minimum wheel. |
| 11:16.11 | ChoHag | Oh god he has presumed to misquote and then misinterpret Knuth. |
| 11:17.44 | morsing | ChoHag: My phone is made out of graphite, so yes |
| 11:20.36 | wethrin | Graphite is *so* last century. Graphene is the new cool thing! |
| 11:22.50 | gregj | aluminium ! |
| 11:24.19 | gregj | altho apparently new coming thing is sapphire |
| 11:25.00 | wethrin | Sapphire is expensive |
| 11:25.12 | wethrin | Beer! |
| 11:25.41 | gregj | yeah, which is why it won't be on £100 cheapos with android |
| 11:25.49 | gregj | those don't even have proper gorilla glass |
| 11:26.19 | gregj | we write for both ios and android, and funny thing is, we officially support 4od app only on those more expensive android devices (i.e. the proper ones). Some cost more then iphone :-) |
| 11:26.42 | gregj | so so much for cheaper android ;) |
| 11:26.49 | wethrin | indeed |
| 11:27.30 | wethrin | Apple tend to do good things with established technology. |
| 11:27.36 | gregj | all cheap android devices I tested are rubbish. Even bloody raspberry pi is faster |
| 11:27.55 | wethrin | Android types seem to go for more experimental hardware |
| 11:28.16 | gregj | wethrin: and tends to lead in so many areas too. But they are usually very humble about it, apart from few marketing shots |
| 11:28.35 | gregj | android is stuck onto every piece of shit hardware out there |
| 11:28.36 | gregj | by default |
| 11:28.43 | gregj | hence the term , android landfill |
| 11:28.45 | gregj | :-) |
| 11:29.00 | gregj | I mean seriuosly, what can one expect from a device that costs £25 to make, and is a pad |
| 11:29.11 | gregj | door stop ? |
| 11:29.45 | gregj | I'm guessing that's how much it costs to make those devices taht are given away for free, with cheapo phones,or tesco 'tablet' |
| 11:30.08 | gregj | so yes, indeed sapphire is expensive by comparison :-) |
| 11:30.40 | gregj | which is why one has to buy a manufacturing plant to make it cheaper and on larger scale |
| 11:39.07 | gregj | the funniest company name this month: Anker |
| 11:43.00 | morsing | wethrin: How's Toby? |
| 11:44.01 | wethrin | Getting older |
| 11:44.07 | wethrin | And slowing down significantly |
| 11:44.39 | wethrin | The Tesco Hudl isn't too bad, from what I've heard |
| 11:44.51 | wethrin | gregj: Funnier than Wayne-Kerr Instruments? |
| 11:47.04 | gregj | ;] |
| 11:47.09 | gregj | never heard about those guys |
| 11:47.15 | gregj | but I just got myself anker usb 3 hub |
| 11:47.30 | gregj | and the missing W always comes up in my head |
| 11:47.48 | gregj | lunch time ! |
| 11:48.37 | wethrin | They make electronic test things |
| 11:48.48 | wethrin | Het Anker is also a Belgian brewery |
| 11:58.59 | gregj | :=] |
| 12:26.22 | Leeds | there is a chain of clothes shops here called Wanko |
