@Burgi 'Neighbors blocks away later told my wife they heard the enormous boom and knew it was very close. "That would be my husband," she replied.'

satibel

at 16 I was at high school/uni, so I wasn't working.

Avery

I do both but might drop out, HS is very painful.

djsmiley2k

My dad told me about ball lightning they saw when they were kids

came down the chimney, flew around the room and burnt a hole in the net curtains as it flew outta the window.

Oliver Salzburg

@Avery Smart move. Work life is bliss in comparison

djsmiley2k

var firstName

Who you work for, Journeyman?

Avery

@satibel thing is, I have some... difficulties, and don't get diagnosis because I don't want to be seen as someone lesser than me (would make getting jobs or getting into uni much harder and I'd be taken much less seriously), but I have difficulties with the current education system, it's very hard and very complex, and I don't think that I can survive for another year to this.

Journeyman Geek

14:08

Brewing (I didn't actually ask for this, but my brother went - yanno, you brewed ginger beer)

@varfirstName small private school IT

var firstName

Good luck :)

Anyway, reason to convert me to arch?

Avery

Crazy boot times

var firstName

14:11

yea

satibel

@Avery I said that because I heard it so many fucking times, and, no, it doesn't get better after high school, especially you if like to learn by yourself.

Avery

@satibel i know

I hear it too

@varfirstName i will, though not anytime soon due to state of laws and docs here. It's weird and may be offensive to some but I've learned not to care.

satibel

my class group in the last year of high shool went from 15 to 10. So many that said fuck that, Imma work.

Avery

I'm not hideous by the fact ALA it doesn't cause people to see me differently or in a lesser way. Which is rare. Which is why I'm hideous about it.

@satibel it's really hard to find a job if you don't have a univ degree here

Journeyman Geek

ALA?

Avery

14:15

@varfirstName well I can help you with installation if you decide to install it but can't really get anyone to install anything

Journeyman Geek

@Avery heh, I'm dyslexic and hated school

Avery

@JourneymanGeek as long as

That REDACTED Guy

Hey look I found a Brazilian Spanish - English dictionary!

English As She Is Spoke

English As She Is Spoke is the common name of a 19th-century book written by Pedro Carolino, and falsely additionally credited to José da Fonseca, which was intended as a Portuguese–English conversational guide or phrase book, but is regarded as a classic source of unintentional humour, as the given English translations are generally completely incoherent. The humour appears to be a result of dictionary-aided literal translation, which causes many idiomatic expressions to be translated wildly inappropriately. For example, the Portuguese phrase chover a cântaros is translated as raining in jars...

satibel

eh, most of them made their own job with blackjack and hookers (or simply went freelance).

Journeyman Geek

14:16

@satibel not everyone can tho

Q: Changing Layout of CardView on two finger drag?

Is it possible to take one cardview layout, for instance: subject.xml And on performing a two finger drag, have it change to another layout, sharing one or more common elements with a shared element transition , for instance: subject_expanded.xml How would this be achieved...

If anyone has any idea that'd be cool xD

I want a hug

I need a hug

Yay thx

Already running VLC 2.2.6, which incorporates this fix.

I swear to god if I forget to clock out I am making a hole in the wall and mounting a timeclock in the hole

Rahul2001

@Avery hugs are definitely cool

I have to give big thanks to the security researchers who are finding vulnerabilities before the criminals get to them. They help keep us safe.

15:11

They are!

Rahul2001

It's a pity that virtual ones don't work that well

What're you talking about? I hug my girlfriend over VR all the time

so lonely

Rahul2001

@bwDraco I hope to be one of them someday.

@varfirstName mine left me a few days ago, so yeah

var firstName

Rahul

I have never had a girlfriend

You lucky

Rahul2001

That's honestly pretty good

No I'm not

var firstName

15:13

Why's that?

You're lucky of you get a decent girlfriend. They're tough to find

I mean, I thought I'd been lucky this time :/

But nope. Same old, same old

Heh

I've been single for 10 years; you can't be as cynical as me at 16

15:15

It's about finding the right person

i can't find the clip on youtube :(

var firstName

Rahul

That was a little..

um..

Burgi

@Avery the right person to kill?

Rahul2001

@varfirstName I know, nevermind that

Avery

15:17

@varfirstName I believe I found said right person

Burgi

basically a green screen jack bauer walks away from our building and it blows up behind him

Avery

@Burgi yes

Rahul2001

I believed so too -_- then harsh reality happened

Avery

If by kill you mean hug to death

Rahul2001

@Avery that reminds me

var firstName

15:18

Avery, what orientation are you? jw

Rahul2001

Go watch limitless

That TV show...

It shaped my personality

@varfirstName she. She's a she.

Burgi

@varfirstName upright

var firstName

Rahul. That was rude for a second

still is.

Orientation != gender

Avery

@varfirstName Pan

Rahul2001

It doesn't matter, and shouldn't concern you

Burgi

15:19

@Avery perpendicular to the floor to the correct answer

var firstName

Rahul, you don't need to be the person to say that. If she wants to tell me she's uncomfortable saying, that's her choice. If she wants to ignore me, I respect that. You don't need to defend her. She can fight her own battles.

so

Disk I/O is down to 5%

that's nice..

ok, can I activate an op

stop discussing people unless they have welcomed the discussion of themselves.

Rahul2001

@varfirstName Yeah. Then what was the need to bring up that or anything else?

That ^^

djsmiley2k

@jokerdino @JourneymanGeek @DavidPostill one of you want to repeat what I just said? :D

Because it's getting tiresome. I know I messed up in the past, as others may have too, but bringing it up constantly isn't helping anything or anyone.

var firstName

Because I'd like to get to know her, as I try to get to know everyone else.

jokerdino

15:26

Yeah, this is going on for way too long.

var firstName

I didn't mean anything of it

djsmiley2k

@varfirstName I suggest you stop. right now.

Let's end that discussion like dj asked

djsmiley2k

Just talk about something else

jokerdino

You didn't get an answer, so better to drop it.

Rahul2001

15:26

@varfirstName get to know a person. How the fuck does the body or gender matter?

Continuing from yesterday's discussion: anandtech.com/show/11585/…

No mention of MLC. It looks like MLC is becoming obsolete due to high cost and the NAND shortage.

Products that use MLC are starting to get very expensive. The Samsung SSD 850 PRO costs close to $0.50/GB.

...and don't get me started on the 960 PRO. It'll be around for the foreseeable future because it's an super-enthusiast product and that niche will always be there, but $0.60+/GB is well beyond the reach of most consumers.

var firstName

Trying to set a DateTime field in PowerApps to the current time on submission of request

GRAH

bwDraco

My gut tells me that 3D TLC NAND will dominate general-purpose mass storage, while QLC will be used for applications that require either extremely low cost (flash drives) or high density (external storage media for backups).

Not Dog

@allquixotic lol

I don't like far cry primal

bwDraco

Good NAND is a dying breed, and it seems only Samsung is able to get away with producing premium 3D MLC NAND for consumer SSDs because they have the enthusiast market cornered.

Nobody except Samsung and IMFT seem to be making 3D MLC NAND, and I don't know how much longer IMFT will manufacture MLC for consumer applications.

I fear Samsung will be the only company manufacturing MLC in any significant volume for the consumer market.

That would've involved me actually caring and/or paying attention
