@Kate QtCreator

I'll ping you when I test it ^_^

Canadian Luke

That was sent to me by a security course mailing list...

HackToHell

3:31 PM

@CanadianLuke Coursera ?

Canadian Luke

eLearn Security

jokerdino

coursera definitely is not selfpaced

HackToHell

That Social Psychology course is at week 4 :|

I am still at 2.4

jokerdino

@CanadianLuke you probably can't have a wife without a full time job

Kate

@HackToHell what language?

HackToHell

3:32 PM

@Kate QML and Java Script

Canadian Luke

@jokerdino I can't have a wife that has a Full Time job without some other lingering issue...

HackToHell

And this is the first time I am using Java Script

jokerdino

@CanadianLuke sorry. read it as lingerie issue at first.

HackToHell

You should be named HornyDino

jokerdino

No~

Canadian Luke

3:33 PM

@jokerdino The only issue with lingerie is if it's not not he floor, next to my bed, when she's over ;)

Kate

@HackToHell are you making it as a mobile app?

HackToHell

@Kate nope, desktop app.

jokerdino

but maybe a mobile one too

HackToHell

But since it's QT it shouldn't be hard to port

@jokerdino Eventually yeah :)

jokerdino

:)))

Kate

3:35 PM

@HackToHell sounds like it

nope nope nope

jokerdino

Kate, stop being interested in our product. It's going to pressurize our core dev.

Kate

@jokerdino my apologies, I'll get back to random dog talk

jokerdino

@Kate actually you know what, keep doing it. You should be #3 user.

Kate

@jokerdino better?

jokerdino

3:37 PM

that one's a coyote.

HackToHell

@Kate Is that a corgi ?

jokerdino

@HackToHell i finished week 2. we are actually at week 3 now.

Yours doesn't ;p

@jokerdino Cool

jokerdino

@HackToHell yeah the other one looks average.

HackToHell

goes to coursera

Kate

@HackToHell but at least you didn't ask if she's a Chihuahua

@HackToHell they are little devils

@Bob I awoke on Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:00:26 GMT (that's about 11 hours ago), got invoked 2 times, learned 81 commands

Latheesan Kanes

anyone kind enough to take a look at this mystery - serverfault.com/questions/616229/…

i ended up switching from nginx/php-fpm to apache2 and it still didn't solve my problem.

on nginx , i get 502 bad gateway. on apache i get connection reset.

still nothing useful in the error logs.

Canadian Luke

HackToHell

@LatheesanKanes Limit the number of php-fpm processes ?

Magento is sooo heavy

I remember the time I ran it

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

4:03 PM

@HackToHell Magento support tech: "What? You don't have at least 192 GB of RAM and 50 x 300 GB SAS 15kRPM disks in RAID-10??? Well no wonder you're having performance problems!"

he hangs up the phone and goes over to his colleague and says: "Guy just called up complaining of performance problems. His server only had 64 GB of RAM! Can you believe that? The nerve of these people trying to run Magento on nothing..."

jokerdino

@Kate ok all's cool

Isn't there a magento SE? Magento

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

yup

HackToHell

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ I know right ?

It kept lagging on my desktop :/

imgur.com/a/6EMBE

jokerdino

I thought Hisss was actually a hollywood movie.

Bob

@LatheesanKanes At a guess? PHP is timing out.

Well, that should be obvious.

Kate

4:18 PM

@LatheesanKanes you mention that you are clicking on "EDIT" and in the screen shot the process is going to 100% CPU, could it be something to do with it trying to connect to a DB and timing out?

@LatheesanKanes also, is it only this one particular action/page that is causing problems? are some working?

@jokerdino phew

okay, this chat thing is waaaay too addictive

Canadian Luke

:-)

jokerdino

It's a fixable problem.

Kate

@jokerdino get back to work? :(

Canadian Luke

No, by joining us in the room everyday, work or not!

Kate

@CanadianLuke I like that a lot more

Canadian Luke

4:26 PM

That's the point! Then you learn to love the room

Be the room...

Join the room..

OWN THE ROOM!

Kate

@CanadianLuke and pick up some tips along the way :P

the power of the room

jokerdino

@Kate I can help you by either pinning you inside the room or outside of it.

Kate

I got the SE app yesterday while at a dentist appointment, and was disappointing to find no chat

Bob

Congrats on your 100000th message, @JourneymanGeek!

(Well, 100164, but... details)

jokerdino

@Kate there's an app for that!

Canadian Luke

4:29 PM

@jokerdino Very subtle :P

Kate

how in the world do you guys manage that???

the time???

Canadian Luke

Lots of work hours

jokerdino

@CanadianLuke woah.

Canadian Luke

It's like how MSN Messenger used to be cool... Back in the day

jokerdino

@Kate 4 years of hard work

Bob

4:30 PM

@Kate Well, you already have almost 500... so... keep at it for a year or two :D

Also, nothing to do at school/work/travelling/whenIshouldbesleeping

jokerdino

@Bob I need to get back my top 10 ranking

Canadian Luke

Don't forget about the SE Chat apps

Bob

@CanadianLuke Screw the apps. Web browser FTW!

(they really need to improve the mobile/web interface, though)

Canadian Luke

Eff that! On the mobile phone, the SE Chat App is much better than the web interface!

Bob

@CanadianLuke Meh. I don't need the battery drain.

I have enough random crap running in the background as it is :S

Canadian Luke

4:35 PM

That's why you carry an extra battery :P

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Kate I work 50% overtime because I spend 50% of my time chatting

but I charge it as normal, I don't bill the company for chatting ofc

that would be wrong

jokerdino

1+0.5 = 1.5. 50% of 1.5 = 0.75 of chatting.

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ So... you're still charging +50% normal? :P

jokerdino

allq is freeloading on company's generosity to allow workers to do overtime

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob no, I'm charging 8 hrs a day :P

I charge my normal allotted work time not overtime

unless I really honestly do work more

@jokerdino don't you do math on me, boy! I'mma slap you.

jokerdino

4:43 PM

I thought it was a quote or something.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

math ain't allowed in the south!

we count our chickens by the sound of the clucks.

jokerdino

chickens?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

"cluck! ... cluck! ... cluck!" that's one chicken.

"clu-cluh-cluck-cluck!" that's two chickens.

past two, we just call it a dozen.

jokerdino

Hm, is chicken singular or plural?

HackToHell

wow, Flipkart got a billion dollars

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

4:45 PM

@jokerdino when referring to the animal, chicken is singular.. one organism. chickens is plural, referring to two or more

jokerdino

chickens sound weird.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

the sound they make sounds weird? :P

jokerdino

that too

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

if you mean the word sounds weird, you should rather say, "chickens" sounds weird

jokerdino

shouldn't it be '"chickens" sound weird'?

Because of the plural noun, the verb shouldn't have an s. Am I doing it wrong?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

4:49 PM

no, because the implied sentence is, the word "chickens" sounds weird -- you're referring to ONE WORD, "chickens", hence, that word -- singular -- sounds weird

jokerdino

what's your WPM?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

it doesn't matter if the word itself is singular or plural -- when the subject of your sentence is one word, your verb should be singular

jokerdino

stop juking me brah.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

you don't say "James are happy boys" either, but the name "James" has an "s" on the end!!!

jokerdino

What if there were two of them?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

4:51 PM

then it would make sense, but it'd be better to clarify somehow that you're referring to two boys, like "the boys named James are happy" or something

jokerdino

Post a pic of a kitten to cool the tension.

Canadian Luke

Or, "The Jameses"

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

NO

jokerdino

Or maybe James is Spanish.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

"The Jameses" would imply that their last name is "James"

if you have Bobby James and George James and both are happy, "The Jameses are happy" is fine

jokerdino

4:53 PM

The siblings tend not to be happy with each other, though.

Canadian Luke

Well, I refuse to write The James', as my English teachers tried telling us in Gr 2

jokerdino

But who would have two first names?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@jokerdino tons of people!

jokerdino

that's a lot of them

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

okmagazine.com/photos/30-celebrities-who-have-two-first-names/…

jokerdino

4:56 PM

those slideshows are annoying.

Canadian Luke

... I agree with @jokerdino

Bob

@CanadianLuke Me too.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

I DIDN'T MAKE THEM, OK??? :(

jokerdino

that makes four of us

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

*runs and hides*

Canadian Luke

4:57 PM

Who's the fourth?

Bob

Also, the sheer number of ads on that page is lagging FF.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@CanadianLuke jokerdino's dinosaur alter ego

@Bob aww, you don't use Adblock Plus?

Bob

One page lags more than 50 tabs.

That's how bad it is.

jokerdino

@CanadianLuke Hacktohell whenever he comes by.

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ ABP breaks the page past the first click. I was curious, so I tried disabling it.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

4:59 PM

@Bob doesn't break it for me! :P

Bob

Also, it's useless. Sure, they have "two first names". What are the actual names? I don't need bloody pictures.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

but then I have flash disabled, Adblock Edge (Plus with more rules), Noscript, and my work's proxy in front of ABP

Bob

Also, "two first names" is an oxymoron.

And two given names is pretty common.

jokerdino

Bob, at which point did you start reading the conversation?

Bob

@jokerdino Uh... sometime before my last message? Why?

jokerdino

5:01 PM

I don't know. You start on a flourish.

Bob

A what?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob he's trying to say you type a lot all of the sudden

It's not quite IndE. I picked it from BritE cricket commentaries.

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ I was doing other crap. Came back, read up to my last message, and joined in.

On that note, I'm gonna go sleep now. Probably. Maybe.

jokerdino

Yeah obviously.

Ok that just looks weird.

5:08 PM

Those eyes are bleeding.

Bob

Hmm... actually, cat face?

If you squint...

jokerdino

I'm trying..

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ yes, Master Yoda

jokerdino

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ What if it was a rugby game.

"Sorry, there's no try"

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

5:47 PM

@jokerdino or a Java program

you actually couldn't write a Java program using InputStream or OutputStream in Yoda's world

Dagobah is a Java-free world

jokerdino

a peaceful one too?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

VBScript, the Lannik use. On Error, Resume Next.

Q: Guess Canadian Luke's kid's duedate!

Canadian Luke (that's me!) is expecting a newborn child this year! What can you do to help? Well, let's run a little Meta-contest! RULES: One guess per answer. Voting will mean nothing on the "answers" given here. Your answer should consist of the gender (Male or Female), and the due date. ...

Well, let me be the first to guess: The due date is on a Friday.

There. 1/th chance ;-)

Q: OK we're all adults here, so really, how on earth should I use a squat toilet?

OK so for anyone that's travelled beyond North America and Western Europe you know what I'm talking about. Left: Romania, last year. Right: Turkey, last night. They start popping up in the Balkans and of course they're everywhere by the time you get to Turkey and become totally unavoidable no ...

Good comments

Mokubai

@CanadianLuke Could the prize instead be to name the child?

Canadian Luke

@Mokubai No, the mother is adamant about choosing the name herself :P

Mokubai

Pity, we could come up with some truly ~~horrifying~~ awesome names.

Canadian Luke

I wanted to pull a Barney Stinson, and have the middle name be "waitforit", but she said no :(

@JourneymanGeek Hey, dude. I've set up dispatch-proxy and I can't get it to work. Any idea? - pastebin.com/bRmdnq65

Kate

7:40 PM

@CanadianLuke congratulations!

Canadian Luke

Thanks @Kate

Kate

@CanadianLuke first one?

Canadian Luke

Second. But it will be my last

Kate

@CanadianLuke haha, got it!

Canadian Luke

Two babies, two baby mamas... I think I'm done!

Kate

7:47 PM

@CanadianLuke I can't really comment, I don't have children

except for the four legged ones

Canadian Luke

Too much stress, especially on the wallet, when the parents are separated. Besides, I got my RAIK (Redundant Array of Individual Kids) soon enough

Kate

what will be the age difference

Canadian Luke

3 years, 3 months (approx)

Kate

@CanadianLuke that's pretty good, so they'll be able to do things together

Canadian Luke

You bet :)

My son already has a younger brother, with his mom, so he's used to it

Kate

7:57 PM

@ekaj I wish I hadn't clicked on that :( nothing against the squat toilets... but the left hand thing is quite disturbing.

@CanadianLuke pre-trained for your convenience

Canadian Luke

He's actually really good around other people's babies too, and dogs! He loves dogs! When he's older, I'll probably get him a puppy. His mom got him one, but it keeps scratching him. But he's good around every other dog I've introduced him to

Kate

@CanadianLuke I really don't know how people manage with both parents working these days

Canadian Luke

Well, I'm a single dad right now... It's difficult, but you get used to it

I tend to hang out with lots of single parents, just because the kids can bond, and we can relax a bit

Kate

@CanadianLuke sounds like a good strategy
