Lanny… you aren't on any other forums are you? Like… certain weeaboo related websites for torrenting?
No. No… I KNOW YOU ARE. And stumbling on you there is weird. That reptar… so very… familiar.
Oh shit, I found you too (political affiliation thread). I can't post much anymore because most the mods hate me, at one point one of them PMd me and was like "stop being so confrontational or you're going to get banned". Every time I start posting regularly eventually someone starts deleting my posts or gives me the same threat. In the end trolling autistic weebs (especially that one guy in the tech forum who posts in every thread about how BSD is god's gift to operating systems even when it's wildly irrelevant and in the face of any and all evidence to the contrary) isn't worth jeopardizing my access to sweet sweet chinese cartoons. I've been posting on totse spinoffs for so long I can't participate in "safe space" forums anymore apparently.
IDC is good though, it's kinda like what HB used to be, lots of dumb inside jokes and shitposting but at least no one tries to tell you to play nice. -

Ugh, that proprietary DB stuff sounds fucking annoying. How did you figure out how to connect to the db to make your CLI client work? I'd assume the protocol would be proprietary as well. Ditto on the 3d game project.
Yeah, but the protocol is pretty simple, no encryption so I just watched a few requests through wireshark. Auth is done through LDAP so that can be handed off to a library. The actual protocol is text/linebased, Basically HTTP but the status line has a different format. I haven't tried it out on large query results so there may be some custom mechanism for row-chunking but I want to get the simple case done first, hopefully I can demonstrate value with that and get my employer to pay me to develop/maintain this thing. -

2016-02-18 at 5:44 PM UTC in Welcome to Texas mother fuckersTexas was just jealous that Florida was becoming the crazy capitol of the US, needed to do something to spice shit up, and what could be better than an "arm the students" crusade? Shame they missed out on the "pistols for primary schoolers" initiative though.

2016-02-18 at 3:16 AM UTC in I think about killing myself a lot
I don't think a few dollars is too much to ask for what they think their life was worth, and if they die, their estate gets a few dollars on the phone bill on top of all the other costs. There's no reason for a huge elaborate multifaceted bureaucratic department devoted to fucking losers
Frankly what you just suggested sounds a lot more bureaucratic than just paying whatever miniscule portion of a federal budget it takes to run a hotline service. -
2016-02-18 at 3:12 AM UTC in "Brave" BrowserI like Eich, even if he did inflict javascript on us and hates homos. He is, based on all available evidence, a really smart guy and I can really get behind the work he did and values he espoused in the early mozilla days. This just doesn't seem like a great idea though. There are a lot of things wrong with web browsers in 2016 but ads aren't one of them (that's a content issue, "fixing" it at the browser level is just wrong). Also the comment about "we went with chromium because we did some science stuff and it's faster than gecko (which happens to be made by the company that kicked my ass to the curb)" got a good chuckle out of me. If I had to put money on it I'd say it's probably true chromium really is faster but not to a degree that represents any business significance.

$0.99..tzzz…. He got it for free nigga.
This. Gandi, my registrar, did this promotion where they gave you three domains under a randomly selected tld to all their customers that had spent X dollars with them in the past. One of my three was a .space domain. -

Lazy. You don't need to carry a huge amount. Just look around.
Fair enough but it's mostly an economic consideration. My food costs are almost negligible, probably averages out to $50 a week (ran between 10-20 a week when I was in school), not including eating out. So even if I could halve my weekly spending, if it takes me another 30 minutes then I've lost money.Sent this to a Chinese drug supplier I'm interested in, the replacement for tic-research/till.i.come@riseup,net:
Care to share? If they have anything good I'd be down for a combined order if it meant better pricing, know the last one didn't work out but more disposable income means I don't care as much if something goes belly up. -

2016-02-17 at 2:53 AM UTC in I learned to PHP
what's the equivalent in python?
It looks like you lost part of your example, presumably "System::" wasn't the end since I'm pretty sure that's not valid syntax. -

Bought 4 wines to trial at Grocery outlet. Business model, how they're able to offer such massive discounts: http://goodcheapvino.com/grocery-outlet-wine-department-incredible-wine-bargains/
Blog, wish there were more contributors: https://grossoutwine.wordpress.com/
You should give it a try, Lanny. You enjoy thrift stores, this is like a thrift store for alcohol and food items. http://www.yelp.com/biz/grocery-outlet-san-francisco
Too far to walk, don't really want to haul groceries on the bus. Besides, I'm quite happy with my 2 buck chuck. Have you tried it? The shiraz is actually one of my favorite wines, having tried a fair amount of nicer stuff (although I can't claim to have any real critical insight, it just tastes good to me). The pinot grigio is nice if you don't like reds.You bet I'm going to trial all of them today. Hauling those bags around was good exercise, but hard work. Lanny, you'd be in tears if you had to carry bags of the same weights to the distances I've regularly done so.
How much do you carry and what distance? I walk about a mile uphill to my grocery store, shop for 1-2 weeks at a time. Never weighed how much that is though.Now, time to watch Léon: The Professional.
That's been in my queue for a while now. Someone compared it favorably to non non biyori which seemed kinda funny but w/e. Post a review when you finish it. -

not sure what you're referring to in the first paragraph without specifics, but by flexibility and hard to fuck up I meant I haven't come across anything it's abhorrently bad at (though I have a tendency to hack shit together instead of worrying about their libs and standards) and data/type handling is a lot simpler (both good and bad) than a lot of other languages. you don't have the same issues with data/pointers and memory locations like in c, or translating between arrays-refarrays-hashes-etc like in perl, and as a result I find troubleshooting and error handling to be pretty straightforward. PS. keep in mind I don't use object syntax.
So one of the big ones is the tendency of people to pass around associative arrays rather than objects. I'm not a big OOP person but just a data object analogous to a struct would be fine, the issue comes when you have no schema, you're holding onto a thing and your only way to know what its structure is is by r_printing it, and you'll never know if the next similar looking thing is going to have the same keys or not. That's the crux of the flexibility complaint at least. There's also a culture of mutating arguments that toxically interacts with the former custom which, ok, if we're comparing with something like C then it's not significantly worse but I think one of the most important things we'd like to see out of a high level language, the reason we pay so many cycles for an interpreter and high level constructs is to get tools that are slower but easier to reason about and "here's a thing, when control returns (and god only knows how much time has passed or how system state has changed) it's going to be different" is the opposite of easy to reason about, even if we're not worried about concurrency (which we should be). Then there's the whole "everyone is in the global namespace by default" thing, pervasive reliance on globals, and clunky ass NS system for people who do try to do the right thing. -
2016-02-16 at 7:08 AM UTC in Lanny, I'm tired of clicking fucking streetsignsIf you don't have anything to hide then be less paranoid, if you do keep it up. PMs are broken so I don't know what you'd be trying to hide anyway. I won't lie, my opsec is pretty shitty. I've done the bare minimum to ward off DDoS attacks (we had a few significant ones early on, nothing worth noting in a while) and like sysadmin 101 stuff (disable root login, fail2ban, the standard iptables setup etc) but I think one of log dirs is publicly available lol(although there's nothing sensitive there) and I've hand patched the code in a few places so god only knows what kind of downstream issues that caused.
Also you probably shouldn't take my word one way or another on the matter, gag orders and such. I think zok actually did get one once, although I don't imagine we draw enough attention for that kind of thing anymore. -
2016-02-16 at 5:32 AM UTC in I learned to PHPIt is light and easy to deploy. Is it flexible? I mean it is malleable but I don't think you need a program to get all that big before changing the system becomes more difficult as a product of that malleability which I think is, in some sense, contrary to the idea of software being flexible. Also I think the abundance of footguns and kinda batty defaults makes it trivially easy to fuck up.
I mean it has its place and a lot of what are clearly poor decisions today can be explained by the fact that it was designed for CGI scripts, although the fact that mod_php has been like 99% of how PHP gets executed for a long time now, across multiple major version releases, and the language still pretends like "pipe stdout to a socket" is how people use it seems to suggest this isn't actually a valid excuse anymore. I'd almost prefer perl, that way I could at least feel cool when producing eye-bleed inducing one liners. -

That's not really what I wanted feedback on, philoso-autist.
What do you think about my "clubhouse" idea? In general and a strategy to attain maximum happiness and well being as an adult. Any problems you'd foresee?
No, that seems pretty reasonable. I think that is by and large what we consider friendship to be. Like sure, your candidates for friends are limited by circumstances but I don't think many people choose to associate with people they actively dislike, we survey the landscape and choose those who are the most funny/appealing/interesting whatever. I guess the risk is there's a drive towards homogeneity (we obviously tend to like like people with similar or at least compatible views, common experiences, more) which could cause issues with in-group biases, particularly in groups with narrow or obsessive interests (it's easy to see it all the time on mid-sized subreddits, TRP and atheism come to mind first but they're basically endless variations) but then groups like that generally, by merit of being small, are non-exclusive (in the sense that participation in them does not exclude you from participation in larger more general social structures) which is something of a counterbalance.
In any case though, finding and spending time with people you find interesting seems like a no brainer for fulfillment.

2016-02-15 at 8:35 AM UTC in An Alternate InternetYour options seem to be between good privately owned infrastructure which, by definition, is beholden to corporate interests, good publicly owned infrastructure which is subject to the same issue in addition to the surveillance issue, or shitty mesh-infrastructure where it takes an indeterminate amount of time to send a packed across the continent. The mesh option means we really once and for all gives up the notion of reliable network communications but then it was an illusion to start with, you can just ignore it before getting to a certain level of ops. Public adoption is the obvious blocker, equipment and slow-as-ass connections don't exactly win over the paying public.

2016-02-15 at 7:50 AM UTC in ATTN: lanmanI've already admitted to the whole fake internet girl thing, if I were actually gay I would have just said it.
But since you asked, we went to church. Neither of us are religious but grace cathedral is a landmark and just up the hill from me so we went. One of those borderline cringey/quirky things some people seem to like. Honestly it's a prettier building from the outside than in, I'd rather look at it from the park across the street but maybe that doesn't count as a date and there's also the whole conversation thing and I can only regurgitate so much trivia about church architecture before I start to gag on my own pretentiousness.
So sploo has ashley as his lifetime love interest. What's the love life of roshambo like? Any lucky ladies in your life? -
