@Boris_yo ...

you saw a woman on an advert, and hoped she was really on the site?

Journeyman Geek

eh.

djsmiley2k

@AndyK I setup ~15,000 domains for one.

Boris_yo

Oh... Interesting.

@djsmiley2k I hoped but I did not believe. Hope dies last...

Andy K

@Boris_yo what else? Womens were wearing clothes that would make a stripper blush

Boris_yo

@djsmiley2k 15,000 domains for one dating service? Were they trying to dominate search results?

Andy K

14:01

and were the queens of the beehive

Boris_yo

@AndyK 0.o

Andy K

and the guys were like slaved to the place, moribund, apathic

they lost their male stamina if they ever had it

Boris_yo

@AndyK That's what makes good workers for dating site?

rahuldottech

What is even this conversation

Boris_yo

:D I don't know...

Journeyman Geek

14:03

@rahuldottech @Boris_yo has no idea what to do with his life.

Andy K

@Boris_yo don't know and tbh I don't care. But what I know is that place was not for me

Journeyman Geek

I tell him, herd sheep.

rahuldottech

@Boris_yo Learn to chill out

Boris_yo

Herding sheep should do the trick and allow me to chill out.

djsmiley2k

@Boris_yo cupid.com or something, yes

Boris_yo

14:05

@djsmiley2k Were you SEO?

djsmiley2k

lol nah

i was a guy who knew how to make the job of manually updating 15,000 files for bind, into something far easier.

so i did ;D

Andy K

@djsmiley2k 15k domains for a website

djsmiley2k

@AndyK yus

well, other domains redirecting to it, yes

Burgi

@AndyK why would a frenchman need a dating site?

don't you just ooze romance naturally? ;)

Andy K

terrible PR stunt for a website

@Burgi I wish

Boris_yo

14:07

@djsmiley2k Assuming each is $7.99 that would require a lot of money to renew each year. Was ROI worth it?

djsmiley2k

Prob not

they brought up a lot of domains many years ago while peddling porn and such

Andy K

@Burgi most guys I know met their GF either from friends or online or work

djsmiley2k

and said they might as well point them at something until not renewing them

Boris_yo

@djsmiley2k Do you recall what year was that?

Burgi

when i first started as a web dev the agency that i worked had ladies of negotiable affection as customers

that was pretty grim

Andy K

14:09

@Burgi damn.

I've reflected a lot on dating website

what bugs me is the necessity to use this kind of tool to know someone. a tons of guys I know seems to see that mean as an end

Boris_yo

@Burgi What programming languages are you proficient with?

djsmiley2k

@Boris_yo oh, like 2010 or so

Andy K

all to say, glad to had a peak but I'm more glad to be away from that living hell

rahuldottech

fml

I'm done dealing with so much crap

Andy K

did I mention I never went back to any dating website?

Boris_yo

14:15

@AndyK "All of the reliance on technology to communicate sexual interest relates to a number of things, but among the greatest of them are that guys have a fear of rejection and so don't approach, women rarely or never approach, and both men and women simply don't know what it means to have a spontaneous social interaction without all kinds of awkwardness - unless they're drunk, in which case they just hook up to bypass all the social awkwardness."

Just an excerpt showing how more reliant society becomes on dating sites.

Andy K

@Boris_yo you're totally correct

tons of mens fear rejection and in the same time, we are in the western society talking about equality between mens and womens and yet, it is always mens who make the first move

rahuldottech

OKAY WTF

I was in the middle of using a website

And the government blocked it

WTF

Q: IRC command-line client for Windows

I'm looking for a (preferably free and/or open source) IRC client running on the Windows' command line. I searched for a while and found that this kind of tools exists for Linux and that you can improvise something with telnet, but is there a native IRC client that can be executed within cmd?

rahuldottech

14:31

@Avery Nothing, just wondering

Nick

rahuldottech

@Nick facepalm

Avery

@Nick just use linux and weechat

Nick

@rahuldottech ? that not possible?

rahuldottech

@Nick Do you even stack exchange?

Nick

rahuldottech

@Nick We don't do that for old questions

Avery

well we could do that theoretically

That REDACTED Guy

Which bearded guy? I don't see no bearded guy.
Are you confused because it's Saturday?

rahuldottech

@Avery Yeah, but we don't generally

Avery

yeah

Nick

14:33

@rahuldottech don't you think that should change?

rahuldottech

@Nick Pretty sure @JourneymanGeek (A.K.A. Doggo Lord) has talked about this before

Avery

theoretically speaking mods could do it but yeah what rahul said

@Burgi I usually go "Hi, is your dog friendly?" and let the owner say

though there's one who was like "Oh, she likes being held" and picked up her dog, and passed it to the human.

Andy K

guy's been cheated and use "his friend" as a masquerade

djsmiley2k

@Burgi Thing is, in the UK you're unlikely to contact a dog with Rabies.... elsewhere however...

@djsmiley2k if it is not too tawdry, by all means

@JourneymanGeek do you use that technique to pick up ~~bitches~~ lady dogs?

@AndyK busy right now

but no, it's not

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi in that case rather litrally

Forbes: The story behind Ryzen Threadripper

It wasn't originally planned for - a small group of enthusiasts working at AMD had this vision of creating an extreme enthusiast processor and platform, to be based on the Naples (EPYC) server processor but with two Zeppelin dies rather than four.

djsmiley2k

@bwDraco thats how the playstation basically came about

aND so any other things "we difdnt plan for this"

rahuldottech

@bwDraco what are Zeppelin dies?

bwDraco

18:37

@rahuldottech Zeppelin is the code name for the die used in all current Zen products. It consists of two core complexes, each with four cores, 2 MB of L2 cache, and 8 MB of L3 cache. Each die also includes a memory controller for two channels of DDR4, two PCIe 3.0 PHYs supporting 16 lanes each (for up to 32 lanes), and extensive USB and other I/O capabilities.

rahuldottech

@bwDraco Wait... what exactly is a die?

bwDraco

Die (integrated circuit)

A die (pronunciation: /dʌɪ/) in the context of integrated circuits is a small block of semiconducting material, on which a given functional circuit is fabricated. Typically, integrated circuits are produced in large batches on a single wafer of electronic-grade silicon (EGS) or other semiconductor (such as GaAs) through processes such as photolithography. The wafer is cut (“diced”) into many pieces, each containing one copy of the circuit. Each of these pieces is called a die. There are three commonly used plural forms: dice, dies, and die. == Images == == See also == Integrated circuit design...

It's the actual silicon beneath the heat spreader.

The Zen architecture is designed to scale readily through the use of a proprietary cache-coherent interconnect called Infinity Fabric. This breakthrough technology lets AMD go from 4 to 32 cores simply by using multiple dies and stitching them together.

djsmiley2k

2.1 is sleeping with his eyes open

freaaaaaaaaaky

bwDraco

djsmiley2k

i remember when you could see the die's on CPU's when you brought em

and if you were really dumb/unlucky, you'd crack the corner of the die when putting the HSF on, and then cry

bwDraco

18:43

The concept of a multichip module is not new but AMD has managed to crack the code on getting them to work without greatly reducing performance.

This lets AMD enjoy low manufacturing cost by avoiding the need to fabricate very large chips and gives them massive economies of scale by letting them use the same die for everything.

djsmiley2k

why am i on the star list 3 times?!

i mean, one o them i can understand

bwDraco

Now, Intel derided this approach in the 32C EPYC server processor, calling it "4 glued-together desktop dies", saying that this MCM design results in inconsistent performance when multithreaded workloads span dies. Sure, Intel's big monolithic chip approach (up to 28 cores on the same die) has its advantages, but it's vastly more expensive to manufacture than four smaller dies. techpowerup.com/235092/…

When a competitor can deliver a 32C processor with comparable performance to Intel's fastest 28C Xeon Platinum processor at a fraction of the price, Intel gets up in arms because there's a credible threat to their datacenter dominance.

The cost of manufacturing a semiconductor device increases dramatically as the die size goes up. Not only are there fewer dies on each wafer, defects will render a larger portion of them unusable. Furthermore, Intel doesn't get to enjoy the economies of scale AMD gets by manufacturing millions of one, and only one die, and using it for every single Zen product.

This is why you can now get an 8C/16T processor, complete with thermal solution, for just $300.

Destiny 2 has just released... Super excited to get home to give it a go last night. When I get there, my wife is just about ready to go out... with the twins.

All I need to do is put the 2yo in bed and the night is mine!

2yo goes to sleep in 10 minutes, perftect.

spend the next 4 hours attempting to sign into Destiny while the Sony PSN servers collapse into piles of turd.

Finally I get logged in... wife gets home with the twins and needs help with changing/bed.

@ThatREDACTEDGuy Yea, this is totally me. Nap in the afternoon on the couch? Asleep in minutes. Got to get to sleep at night... Lie awake for hours.

That REDACTED Guy

@ubu16 If you're not a troll, you should really (1) relax, (2) exercise your identification skills.

Play "spot the 7 differences" or any other similar games

Because both pastebin and wetransfer have in-your-face, starightforward buttons

Journeyman Geek

@ubu16 chat isn't for 'live support' of well, anything. You're basically exhibiting classic help vampire behavior. You might want to actually experiment on your own rather than running for help with every little thing.

That REDACTED Guy

We're glad to help, but we're not obliged to. I think I speak for most of us when I say we have no problem helping if you show even a tiny slight trace of effort

And sorry but you're being perceived as either lazy (and we wouldn't want to help you) or maybe you have some imparment as dislexia or some other codition where you can't find interface elements (nothing wrong in that, but in this case we're not in the position of offering meaningful help)

In any case, an always valid advice is: Google is your friend.

Journeyman Geek

@JourneymanGeek Sorry man. I don't meant no offense. I know nearly nothing about it other than (I suppose?) it mixes up letters and make things difficult to read? I just picked an example of a condition most people know exists and can make reading stuff more difficult without it being the person's fault.

@JourneymanGeek I couldn't tell. Does it make it harder for you to spell words? Or is it only when reading words other wrote?

~~There are ahem other people in this room who could sometimes make use of a spellchecker~~

Journeyman Geek

More on spelling. I do rely on spell check. I also block read, so it is fast but inaccurate.
