[00:14] well, see you guys [00:16] cya [00:36] best quit message [00:37] Also, yes, hi, I am back after not having my IRC machine up for like a week [00:37] Although I am still crazy busy with school, and it is causing me to very nearly lose my mind :( [00:38] why hello underscor [00:38] db48x: Man, this site is covered in groce javascript [00:38] *gross [00:39] that was intentional [00:39] it's a horrible habit I've picked up [00:39] also [00:39] open sores for open source [00:40] one of my security mentors does both of those things just because [00:40] Which I then found out was from microsoft comic chat [00:44] ...... [00:48] Hurrah, Senior year [00:49] Wait'll you start applying for colleges [00:56] Oh, those deadlines are almost here [00:56] That's part of the problem [00:56] I don't know what I want to do, and I feel all this pressure to make the right choice [00:56] anyone here read chinese? [00:57] And I don't want to be disappointed in what I choose [00:57] especially since I will only be able to point at myself for it [00:57] I've been feeling suicidal lately, so they're trying an antidepressant to see if that'll help [00:58] :| [00:58] I know :( [00:58] What's up with THAT [00:59] I'm looking for an online directory of chinese phone numbers, if anyone wants an interesting puzzle [00:59] Why would you feel at all suicidal. [01:00] Are you confusing suicidal feelings and deep depression? [01:07] SketchCow: I don't know. Stress, and fear. [01:07] And, no, I don't think so. At least, I don't feel _depressed_ [01:23] 2013 is too cool for suicide [01:24] don't count on reincarnation to get past 2012-12-21 [01:24] god might not ok that wish [01:25] heh [01:25] http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/1/18/ [01:25] This is how I feel every time I forget to lock my screen [01:25] (although I don't have any giraffe porn) [01:26] you don't have giraffe porn?!? [01:28] mushy poetry ftw [01:41] underscor, I'm feeling the same way right now, about colleges and other personal things [01:42] You fuckers need to buck up [01:43] college isn't nearly as bad as you're making it out to be [01:43] just set your sights, work toward it, and take it easy [01:43] mainly about other things... but college doesn't help my situation [01:56] Same. [01:57] The biggest thing for me is that I know what I want to do with my life, I just don't know how I'm going to get there [01:57] chronomex: Actually, I wonder... [01:57] There's so much random shit on here [01:57] It wouldn't surprise me [01:57] hmm? [01:57] (giraffe porn) [01:57] oh, heh [02:00] don't worry too much about knowing exactly what you want when you go to college [02:00] ^ [02:00] I wanted to study computers, I wound up getting a degree in geography [02:00] I wasn't exactly sure, and I spent most or all of my first year doing exploratory studies [02:01] That's good to know [02:02] I did graduate in 4 years still, but I did do a couple of summer semesters [02:05] I took 4.5 [02:05] I went for film, I graduated in film and didn't use that degree for a decade. [02:05] SketchCow, what did you get your degree in? [02:05] ah [02:11] PatC: How old are you? [02:11] This is fucking awesome: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/supermechanical/twine-listen-to-your-world-talk-to-the-internet?ref=spotlight [02:11] 18 [02:11] I wish I had $100 [02:11] Oh okay [02:11] That is cool [02:15] Oh, 15 days [02:15] Cool, I should have money after christmas [02:16] did you see the printerbot? [02:17] printrbot is lame [02:17] it's not rigid enough to print fast [02:17] it'll be another wobblebot [02:21] interesting [02:23] http://supermechanical.com [02:23] They've done some really cool shit [02:24] also, the guy making printrbot has committed to printing 500 sets of parts by march :) [02:24] they'll take 6 hours to print each [02:25] twine is the coolest convergence of preexisting tech I've ever seen [02:47] haha, I'm in my third year of college and have no idea what I want to do [03:50] hmm [03:50] I think I'm gonna archive http://www.naenara.com.kp/en/news/index.php?22 [03:50] what with Kim Jong-Il now being dead and all [03:50] ya [03:50] is that a north-korean website? [03:51] interestingly, "Glorious Death From Strenous Exertion on Train Enjoyed" is not in that list [03:51] PatC: yeah, one of a few [03:51] ah [03:51] good idea [03:54] I've done some work sucking down kcna.co.jp in the past, not recently though [03:54] it's so slow [03:54] naenara, that is [03:54] shocker [03:54] well, yeah, now it would be [03:55] it used to be powered by Kim Jong-Il's ability to transfer information faster than light [03:55] he can't do that anymore for obvious reasons [03:55] they are now reduced to using decadent trans-continental cables measuring on puny gigabit scale [03:55] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJNBfBr-OGU [03:56] is relevant [04:22] alright, download in progres [04:22] s [04:22] heh, this is about as slow as Splinder [04:38] So I realized I can only reliably hear to about 18k [04:38] :( [04:38] This is disappointing [04:51] 18k? Lots of loud-music listening? [04:52] That said, if memory serves, the security gates used at some libraries are at 14k, and for some reason most people have a difficult time hearing those unless they're really loud. [04:53] So, yes, only being able to hear up to 18k probably doesn't make the slightest difference as far as anything you'll actually do. [04:58] ntsc horizontal sync is 15.7kHz, and many people can't hear that [05:00] Yeah, I take back the 18k comment, as I don't think it's particularly abnormal to not be able to hear 18k, even assuming a relatively hearing-protected life. [05:11] I can't stand ntsc horizontal sync [05:11] Or (visually) 60hz flicker on CRTs [05:12] I actually refused to take a midterm because of that. [05:12] They had to go find a laptop :D [05:12] (because the screen resolution settings were locked down) [06:45] Famicoman: this is why we drop out :) [08:54] Officially sick of Jamendo uploading [09:01] 20,000 albums passed, though. [09:01] that'll hurt coming out [09:02] You know, you SAY that... [09:02] Looks like another all-nighter for me. [09:02] I get more work done at night, for obvious reasons. [09:02] The big slowdown is I gained 2-3 people who have been FLOODING me with documentary people. [09:02] yeah, because more work gets done at night [09:02] Like, in some cases, someone has sent me a message with 12 possible people to interview [09:03] So I have to ingest that. [09:03] I don't know why we even have workplaces open in the mornings [09:05] depends on if a job can be telecommuted/timeshifted [09:05] bugtrackers make all of that workable [09:05] That's mine! [09:05] My jobs are "keep working until you die" [09:05] you stop moving, you die [09:05] like a shark [09:07] ARCHIVESHARK [09:46] http://1x-upon.com/ [09:53] bitchen [21:10] http://ia700002.us.archive.org:8088/mrtg/cpuv3.html [21:10] * underscor sings, "I've got a lovely bunch of cputime..." [21:10] Running spectral analysis on 3TB of music is fun [22:02] what unit is "B/s"? [22:03] is that the loadavg? [22:03] bytes per second [22:04] but bytes/s doesn't make sense for CPU utilization... [22:04] oh [22:04] um. I have no idea [22:06] mrtg is commonly used for things like this, but was designed to measure bandwidth. so you get nonsense units. [22:11] nevertheless it'd be interesting to know what unit is measured there.... I mean the only thing you can infer is that now his CPU does 5-6 times more than it did 2 hours ago... I can do that with my 386 if I want to ;-) [22:11] if it is indeed a loadavg of 440 then that'd be quite impressive :) [22:13] batcave okay? [22:15] Dark_star: the load number is not CPU-invariant [22:15] a computer with one CPU is fully utilized with a load of 1 [22:15] a computer with four cores is fully utilized with a load of 4 [22:15] bbot_: I know [22:16] ah? [22:16] that's why I said a loadavg of 440 would be impressive [22:16] maybe 440% [22:17] more like 44000% (loadavg of 1 is 100%, so loadavg of 440 is 440 * 100 = 44000%) [22:17] maybe it's 440% utilization [22:17] hmm [22:17] maybe loadavg is not what it's actually measuring [22:18] yes, that's what I'm thinking, hence my initial question :) [22:18] Loadavg is 186 right now [22:18] I have no fucking clue what unit that graph is in [22:18] lol [22:18] *lol [22:18] 4 cores [22:18] so maybe it is % utilized? [22:19] 4 cores and a loadavg of 186 sounds painful in itself... that is ~45 processes on each CPU running concurrently [22:21] how is that even possible, i thought cpos couldnt do multitasking yet? [22:21] you probably want a loadavg of 4 if you have 4 cores (except if you want to stress-test the scheduler ;-) [22:21] it means that there are 45 processes ready to be executed at the same time. i.e. they're not waiting for I/O to finish or something. of course they get scheduled one after each other... [22:22] 182 now [22:22] :D [22:22] ...but after the first one has executed for x milliseconds, it has to wait 44*x milliseconds until it's back [22:22] These are all very math intensive too [22:22] s/back/re-scheduled [22:22] I should probably put some code in to mediate these [22:22] so they don't build up [22:22] that probably helps, yes :) [22:26] Cpu(s): 98.0%us, 1.0%sy, 0.6%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.4%si, 0.0%st [22:26] lolol [23:08] 440 is not so much http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/?r=week&c=Miscellaneous+esams&h=maerlant.esams.wikimedia.org [23:18] Wow [23:28] that one has twice the CPUs though... and it only does ~1.5x the loadavg :) [23:34] underscor, wanna eat more slupry graphs? http://munin.toolserver.org/Login/nightshade/cpu.html [23:35] Wow! [23:36] btw this corresponds to a top like this: [23:36] 626 processes: 616 sleeping, 4 zombie, 2 stopped, 4 on cpu [23:36] load averages: 5.33, 6.42, 7.48; up 40+02:04:43 23:36:48 [23:36] CPU states: 48.1% idle, 49.4% user, 2.5% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap [23:36] Kernel: 10258 ctxsw, 1399 trap, 9831 intr, 14353 syscall, 2 fork, 1068 flt [23:36] Memory: 8187M phys mem, 830M free mem, 12G total swap, 11G free swap [23:37] so it says 500 % CPU usage but it's actually 50 (?) [23:44] I hear that some IA folks are talking with WMF folks right now [23:44] (and viceversa happened yesterday) [23:45] talking=meeting in person [23:45] WIkimedia still has no complete backup of commons, right? [23:49] soultcer, what do you mean with "backup"? [23:49] Offsite copy [23:49] soultcer, how much offsite? :) [23:50] Best case: Another continent [23:53] I think everything is currently hosted in a double copy in Florida (not sure at all), and there's now another copy in Virginia [23:58] Wikimedia's not great on it.
