wow, -89
some interesting ones in there!
 
@WesleyDavid Mommy?
 
@84104 No I think it was (his) dad....
I really hate VZ LTE throttling.
 
I wonder if the person filming died from all the noxious gasses that produced.
 
12:23 AM
@Zoredache is that a battery?
 
It totally looks like something from Aliens
 
yikes
 
that's Android for you
 
12:59 AM
@Jacob I thought it was a cell phone.
 
1:10 AM
Looks like an "old skool" Nokia
 
1:26 AM
Thats ummmm.....interesting
 
Not necessarily something I want to see during my dinner tho
 
2:10 AM
Heh heh. I incorporated Guido into an answer:
0
A: Vim python indenting changes code semantics

MikeyBYeah, don't do that. The whole point of autoindent in VIM is to have the editor guess at where the whitespace ought to go according to language formatting rules. However: Python whitespace is important, as you know. As the doctor would say: Don't Do That Then.

And on that note: What the hell was the question asker smoking?
 
@MikeyB Would be nice if he'd share. Selfish bugger.
 
3:05 AM
Scumbag Computer Scientist:
 
 
4 hours later…
6:55 AM
The next time I start a baking project late at night, someone shoot me...
They look like little cupcakes:
but they're actually cake balls:
 
What is wrong with them looking like minature cupcakes?
They still look like they should taste good
 
The first batch we made on Sat as a trial run were great, these ones are coming out all deformed and the butter cream icing I made on Sat was much better than tonight's.
That's what we get for rushing...
There are about 35 in the first picture, I've got about 60 rejects...
 
 
1 hour later…
8:10 AM
Morning all
 
8:34 AM
G'day
 
8:59 AM
hola
 
an interesting discussion you started there @pauska, with one exception all of the people I expected to respond have done
 
I have the feeling they think everything is going fine
But quite a few off us think otherwise...
I guess we'll have to let it play out
 
Dan
Morning
 
@BartDeVos I guess it depends on what your perspective is
 
Well, they could be right. Perhaps everything is OK, and we get a bit blinded by Chopper's mood
speaking of the (cat eating) devil, morning @Chopper3
 
9:06 AM
@Iain I have the feeling, a bit more mods wouldn't hurt
 
hi
my mood?
 
ok, not mood then.. displeasure in seeing all the crappy questions
we're good at linking them here all day long
btw, I have to confess.. finding a spammer and flagging it is more fun than answering questions, but thats just the BOFH in me
 
Dan
Right, I have 8 hours worth of VMWare View videos. I'm in for a fun few days
 
vmware view is fun, so no worries
 
Dan
Cool
I do enjoy learning, so long as I have videos - I hate reading :D
 
9:10 AM
I wish microsoft had a view manager like vmware does.. stupid RD web app :(
heh.. look at this (english) ad for "System Engineer"
"Experienced user of Microsoft Office"
 
Dan
First thing I noticed :D
 
@pauska Do you think it could be a remote job ?
 
I have no idea.. it's a Norwegian company, so it must be some kind of reason they're announcing it in english
they even put norway's international prefix on their phone numbers.. I guess they want applicants from outside NO then
 
9:55 AM
Aaah, /review is empty
:)
 
If its in English then could they be looking to increase or open an operation in the UK or Ireland?
 
Sorry Rob, I have absolutely no idea
 
just wondering out loud, wasn't planning to apply ;-)
 
looks like they have one, "Address: 26-28 Hammersmith Grove, London W6 7BA, United Kingdom"
 
If it didn't say previous experience required, my wife could have applied based on the other requirements listed - she struggles to manage an iPad though
 
9:59 AM
could be then. I'd have thought they'd want operations outside the euro zone to increase the time zones they have support staff in without having to pay out of hours premiums
 
10:24 AM
hello
:D
 
Dan
Definitely

Holy Shit!

Trillion Frames Per Second Camera!
 
@Ian thx for protecting :)
I think 4/7 answers are spam in this one:
-3
A: Exchange 2003 Corrupt Inbox

Caroline BrownThis happens many times that the availability of inbuilt scanpst.exe or inbox repair tool are not helpful most of the time specially when the corruption problem is very severe. And at last fails to resolve the problem. So in that condition you can try third party PST repair tool to resolve the pr...

 
That sucks :|
kudos to moderators, don't think I've noticed much spam
 
10:37 AM
@SpacemanSpiff ayup - where are you now ?
We're really quite good a noticing and dealing with spam
 
Leistal, Switzerland, just outside Basel
 
Dan
@SpacemanSpiff WHat is it you do?
 
sounds expensive
 
This gig is to do a bottom-up infrastructure audit, visiting each site and digging up details, interviewing people
 
Dan
Interesting
 
10:40 AM
It is quite interesting, people stuck in their ways, not being in sync with the business
@Iain - yes, glad I'm not paying the bills
Dinner for 3 (a damn nice one) 240 swiss francs?
:O
 
I have a friend who works in Switzerland but who lives in France because it's so expensive
 
Right, most of the team here is either German or French
only 1 out of 12 live here I think
Drive to Rossdorf in Germany tomorrow morning
 
Hello, are there any books for learning Linux to the deepest? I mean, kernel & filesystem level.
 
Is Google broken?
 
@SpacemanSpiff nope. it's loading fine here.
 
10:46 AM
@SpacemanSpiff fine from the uk
 
@SpacemanSpiff it's not just about linux kernel. I don't know many things about Linux, like filesystems, partitions etc. I want to learn every bit of it
 
Ok, hold on
For management or development?
 
both?!
Basically I won;t be developing any apps. So, mostly management
 
and then pick up some kind of book on writing shell scripts and then maybe get familiar with something like python
 
10:50 AM
okay, thanks
 
that's a fedora/redhat type book, so maybe consider getting an ubuntu/debian based one if you prefer that.
 
Dan
Or just use Windows - it's your call :D
 
yeah
okay
 
It takes a certain mindset to use Linux, be prepared to be frustrated, and be prepared to read.the.manual. If you can't understand the manual, you're usually missing something fundamental.
 
you mean, the "man" pages? man command?
 
10:52 AM
Kind of like someone who "thinks" they know networking is handed the manual for QoS or VoIP dial peer configuration feels like they're reading another language entirely.
Well yes, but any kind of documentation, a good bit of formal documentation is just parameters and explanations of command options, not to educate you on technique or objective.
 
ok
can I ask/talk about DBMSs here?
(database management systems)
 
You can post questions to the site regarding technical problems or configuration questions, sometimes architecture as well, yes.
As long as you don't ask people to do your job for you, you will get very constructive help usually.
 
@its_meα installation and typical sysadmin duties yes, but DBA.se is better for usage
 
No, I meant here, the chat
 
preferably not
 
Dan
10:55 AM
This isn't really for tech support
 
No. It's just about the basics
 
we prefer to talk about boobs in the chatroom
2
 
:D
 
with an occasional high level discussion regarding technology
 
If I am going to start a project, and expect its database to grow very big, should I choose MongoDB, CouchDB or Cassandra right from start?
that's my doubt
 
10:58 AM
define very big
 
flickr db size
2 times that actually
(I know they do it with MySQL)
 
Dan
Hang on, you mean twice the size as whatever DB Flickr uses?
No offence, but maybe you should chat to a DBA?
 
but what of the aforementioned DBMSs is better performant, reliable & faster under given conditions
 
Dan
What given conditions?
 
Once you get beyond a certain size, the actual technology ceases to matter.
Implementation is more important
 
10:59 AM
@Dan hey, I am not serious about this. Just a chat-level suggestion would be fine
