@allquixotic I have no idea what you mean by ducky :P
Rubber duck debugging, rubber ducking, and the rubber duckie test are informal terms used in software engineering to refer to a method of debugging code. The name is a reference to a likely apocryphal story in which an unnamed expert programmer would keep a rubber duck by his desk at all times, and debug his code by forcing himself to explain it, line-by-line, to the duck. Many programmers have had the experience of explaining a programming problem to someone else, possibly even to someone who knows nothing about programming, and then hitting upon the solution in the process of explaining...
21:22
Anyone know why [regex]::Escape("\\servername\folder") gives me \\\\servername\\folder?
It escaped the backslashes with an extra escape.
@allquixotic Ah. I know that. I usually just bug my coworkers most of the time, though. :P No, I'm not doing that atm. ;)
@Hennes Herp derp. Thanks. =D
I dunno why I didn't think of that...
21:44
I am sorry but the Americans are by far the stupidest people on the planet...
The saddest part is that this mistake wasn't even caught by the others present, including esteemed journalists.
I tend to agree, but I am also happy if you replace "Americans" with "humans".
No.....The Japanese , Europeans, Africans, Latin Americans ... the Chinese.... all of them have more knowledge than the Americans
@EinsteinsGrandson I guess that means your 117 rep and your persistent need to acquire knowledge from me, and other Americans here, means that we actually have less knowledge than you. Nice to know that less is more. As you would say: ;o))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))‌​)))))))))))))))))))))
I remember I met a guy in Ohio who was studying college and he didn't know what the result of: seven times six was....
Met another guy who didn't have a clue about what is the population of USA
It's good to keep people stupid
Since you can manipulate them
And this is what the government wants
As well as all the corporations
People work 53 weeks a year in US.... No law for minimum weeks of vacation....
They are naive and believe that USA is the best country in the world
@EinsteinsGrandson You're making very dangerous, and frankly offensive, generalizations. Whenever you have as many millions of people as there are in the US, there are going to be stupid ones - extremely stupid. No other country is any different. Name a country with a population greater than 10 or 20 and I will point out a person who is at least as stupid as the stupidest person in the US.

21:54
So, do you believe in 9/11 ?
Would go to Iraq and would be willing to die for USA?
@EinsteinsGrandson LOL wtf are you even talking about?
@EinsteinsGrandson What does this have to do with generalizations? Stay on topic. You made a statement above; allow me to quote it for you:
11 mins ago, by Einsteins Grandson
I am sorry but the Americans are by far the stupidest people on the planet...
The Americans refers to the entire population of citizens of the United States of America. You categorically called all 250+ million of them stupid.
Hmm, I giot no idea what the US population is either. I japans, or belgiums... or any country bar my own.
It's very simple.... It's the same in a company....
If you truly believe that, then perhaps you should cease using the myriad inventions that your life is built around, such as the microprocessor or the Internet, which were primarily developed in the U.S.
Because they are derivations from "stupid" people. Why would you want that?!
21:57
@EinsteinsGrandson 53 weeks a year? Yeah, maybe if you work at McDonalds or something...
I met people who worked 10 years without vacation
@Tanner Also, you'd have to live on another planet to get 53 weeks. Last I checked, we have 52.
It's 52 or 53....
Or use another calendar system than the Gregorian calendar, I guess.
It's all propaganda..... When you travel around the world..... then you can compare US mentality and way of living.... with those in other countries
On one condition ....that you are smart enough....
22:00
Have you ever been to the US?
yes
I visited more than 30 different states
and talk to Americans all the time
@EinsteinsGrandson Why? I thought we were all stupid.
I love to talk to stupid people...
Not to put too fine a point on it, but:

A: What is the difference between RTM, GA and GOLD versions?

DragonLordWikipedia gives a good explanation about these terms mean. Release to manufacturing (RTM) means that the software is complete and physical discs, packaging, etc. are being manufactured for the product, with the product possibly having reached a customer(s). General availability (GA) means that ...

DragonLord, New York, United States
7.9k 4 23 55
> New York, United States
You seem to have been helped by an American who knew more than you did.
Because you can see a way of thinking which is completely different to the way of thinking of smart people...
22:02
So how, again, are we all stupid?
2
@allquixotic You're stupid because you got caught in his troll trap
But you're in good company ;D
@OliverSalzburg Itchy trigger finger for those juicy room owner powers, about now, but I have more important things to do.
I'll just make sure never to answer his questions again when he comes in here and tosses up that coy Pringles smileyface asking for help about some trivial thing that I learned when I was 12.
His loss.
I could have been politically correct
My biggest fear is that he might actually not be trollin'...
@OliverSalzburg Yeah I don't think he is...
22:05
I am not
@Tanner Good god! :D
@EinsteinsGrandson Funny. That's exactly the same thing a troll would say!
Very suspicious....
Have you read 1984 from Orwell?
@EinsteinsGrandson I've read lots of things. The other day, I've read a Youtube comment that was very insightful
@EinsteinsGrandson It was required reading in high school. If the government's trying to repress individual thought and freedom, they did a pretty terrible job by planting a seed of rebellious self-direction in a large segment of the population by allowing that book to be read.
If their "evil plan" is described by that book, they've effectively foiled themselves by, not only allowing it to be read, but shoving it in front of students, as required reading, in high schools around the country.
You're a help vampire @EinsteinsGrandson, and you ask some really, really stupid questions. You also seem like you're commonly working with equipment and technology that's been outdated for years, and using it wrong on top of that. No big deal. But insulting my entire country? It saddens me that I'll never see the Pringles smileyface again, but you're going on my ignore list.
22:13
I am not surprised
Guys. He has met two people from America. He knows
hm someone here knows regex? xD
@ThePet Regex is write-only. Hopefully, you don't paste a ginormous regex here for us. But I'll help with concepts, sure :)
Need to replace NBinTree<*1*>*2*[space here] with NBinTree*2*<*1*> around thousand times.. xD
I'm tired of clicking and writing ... : F
public static Regex testNameParser = new Regex(@"(?<app>[^-]+)-(?<page>[^-]+)-UEF-(?<uefnum>[0-9]+)((\.((?<subreq1>[0-9A-Za-z-]+)\.(?<tsnum4>[0-9]+)|(?<tsnum1>[0-9]+)))|(-(?<suite>[A-Za-z]+)-(?<idnum>[0-9]+)\.((?<tsnum2>[0-9]+)|((?<subreq2>[0-9A-Za-z-]+)\.(?<tsnum3>[0-9]+)))))", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.ECMAScript); My latest masterpiece :D
22:16
It's all in the book written by American Dale Carnegie - How to Win Friends and Influence People
;o
just need a simple one for visual studio.. xD
I think it's simple.. hmm
@ThePet what regex language are you using? Visual Studio find/replace?
well not for me -.-
@EinsteinsGrandson I think you need to re-read that, because you're not making many friends right now ;D
@allquixotic yep
22:16
Is *1* a literal, or is that supposed to be a capture group?
first wildcard
and second wildcard :P
like NBinTree<abc,efg>::Node to NBinTreeNode<abc,efg>
I know, but that's what everybody would do..... I just feel so sorry for the Americans....
@EinsteinsGrandson I'm sure they appreciate your sympathy
@ThePet Did you see this Q on SO?
0
Q: Search and replace in visual studio

Joseph Le BrechIn visual studio when i search within a selection, I want to replace the first instance (or second, third, etc) of a match per line using regex how would i do this? search and replace this foo1 = foo1; foo2 = foo2; ... foo20 = foo20; into the following foo1 = bar1; foo2 = bar2; ... foo20 = b...

it was cool with ~120 errors et, but when the next project cam up with 1145 errors I have to use some regex which I don't know XD
22:19
@ThePet well, Visual Studio's regex language is already giving me a headache by how different it is from standard ECMAScript regex, so I would actually suggest that you use something like Notepad++... there's no inherent reason to use Visual Studio... I mean you can but it uses a fairly unique regex language :X
And was naive .... when I thought we can end up with some constructive debate in here....
I will try VS thing XD I think my fingers would be broken too after I woul've need to open all the project files separately in NotePad++ xD
@EinsteinsGrandson Just FYI, you don't start a constructive debate by calling people stupid.
@ThePet you can find/replace in multiple files in Notepad++...
@allquixotic I would need to separately sor out which headears are used by which project : F (I can't do the replace inALL files :'( )
in VS it's just select current project, voila
22:22
@ThePet ah, okay
hmm... so divide the problem into 2 parts
yeah converting a 15 year old source code game to VC++11 compiler is... well fucked
part 1 is correctly matching what you're looking for with the Find In regex, and shoving the stuff you need to backreference into captures
then part 2 is figuring out what to put in the replace field once you are matching properly
I've already "fixed" ~12 out of 25 projects
(bet it will crash but lucky me haz debugger)
@ThePet sounds interesting :) I'm working on a similar project, but it already compiles with VS2010
People just can't control their emotions.... I always naively believe that smart/educated people can.... But even they can't.... There are very few people in the world who can....
22:25
@EinsteinsGrandson Well, to understand smart/educated people, it helps to be smart/educated yourself. You don't strike me as the smart/educated type :\
It's funny because when I meet new people they say they had never met so smart/educated person as me
;o)

Q: Does PCIe 3.0 x8 provide enough bandwidth for a dual QSFP 40Gbit NIC?

SPARCpenguinI'm researching dual QSFP 40GBit network cards for a work project and have a few questions regarding PCIe 3.0's theoretical max bandwidth. I'm currently looking at a dual QSFP PCIe 3.0 x8 card on CDW (Mellanox MCX314A-BCBT), but I don't think PCIe x8 would provide enough bandwidth for both 40Gbi...

@OliverSalzburg do you know the above?
@EinsteinsGrandson That's actually sad
@KronoS Hell no :D
lol just curious
hm will this: ^.NBinTree<\1>::\2[ ]$ to NBinTree\2<\1> not behave weird or is this good before I run it? :$
22:27
it's a co-worker and I thought you might know
@KronoS I don't know much about hardware :(
@ThePet try it on one, and undo if it borks it
@OliverSalzburg Hm... maybe I'll link the Server Fault guys as well
see if they would know
you don't need the [ ] if you're trying to have just a space character, BTW. You can just insert a literal space character
yeah I know a bit C++ but regex is seriously different ; o
22:29
Kronos: Isn't that just straight math?
hm it won't find any matches
~.~
@Hennes You would think so, but I don't know the math :)
1 PCIe v1 lane: 2.5 Mbit/sec
1 PCIe v2 lane: 5.0 Mbit/sec
1 PCIe v3 lane: 8.0 Mbit/sec (need to check that, going from memory here)
8 PCIe v3 lanes 8x8.0 mbit/sec
'One x8 lane` basically is 8 x1 lanes tied into a set
PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), officially abbreviated as PCIe, is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X, and AGP bus standards. PCIe has numerous improvements over the aforementioned bus standards, including higher maximum system bus throughput, lower I/O pin count and smaller physical footprint, better performance-scaling for bus devices, a more detailed error detection and reporting mechanism (Advanced Error Reporting (AER) ), and native hot-plug functionality. More recent revisions of the PCIe standard su...
8 is correct for v3
@Hennes Feel free to answer... that's why I posted here :)
It's funny, you talk to the Japanese, they say we are the best.... you talk to the Chinese, Germans, the English, the French, the Jews, the Libyans, the Americans.... all of them believe that they are on the top and all the other nations are below.... ....however, there is no nation that would be on the top....
22:36
@EinsteinsGrandson Who actually says that?
Them.... When I talk to people from those countries
@EinsteinsGrandson If you talk to anyone and they proclaim that they are "better" than someone else, that's a clear indicator that they're full of shit
Two answers already ;-)
No, very often they are very educated/smart people
;o)
@EinsteinsGrandson By your standards maybe
22:37
Also, don't confuse things the government says and things people believe. Every single government in the world will say that they are the best, because if they don't want to be the best they may as well not be in office, so they will get ousted somehow (voted out, pitchforks, whatever). But ordinary people on the street know that their country isn't perfect.
I just confirmed what was already in the post though.
@EinsteinsGrandson Imagine if I would think about everyone from the Czech Republic the same way as I think about you :D
Which feels insufficient to qualify as a proper answer.
I am not Czech, btw
;o)
I know that common public education in the US is lower quality than in many other countries. We have worse Internet infrastructure. On the flip side, we have a better and more stable power grid than much of the world. We used to be pioneers in space, but are no longer really that. We have a large military but perhaps no longer the most advanced. See, I can admit a lot of flaws with the U.S.
22:39
Czechs are very smart people.... They read like crazy
@EinsteinsGrandson I faintly remember that you once said you're from there
Yes, but I am not Czech... only live here
@EinsteinsGrandson Oh, I see
Still, don't you think it would be stupid if I would make assumptions about the whole population of a country based on my personal experience with you?
But that's different..... I have been to US..... and talked to many people over there
So have I
22:41
A lot of people in the U.S. don't consider themselves of "American descent" much like you don't consider yourself of Czech descent. If you ask my coworkers what their ethnicity is, most of them will say Indian.
So, they're "not American, they just live here". Yet, because they live here, they're stupid? Right.
Let's say you've talked to 1000 people, there are over 300 million people living in the USA. So how does your personal experience have any merit at all?
You've probably only been to a couple of areas as well
Re powernet: I always thought that the US powernet was one of its weaker points.
As for education: LOts and lots of people -> Lots of smart ones and lots of stupid ones
@Hennes Brittle, but not fragile
The power grid here is hard to take down in the first place, but once it's down, it'll be a very widespread and serious outage, like the blackouts they had across the entire east coast a few years ago
The problem is that the Americans don't get much information about what is going on abroad....in other countries.... and they don't travel so much.... because they don't have 4/5/6 weeks of vacation as Europeans have....
But, for example, I've had consistent power without a single outage (nothing long enough to make my computer turn off) for about 5 years now, at least
and that's taking into account that we get hit with severe thunderstorms and hurricanes every year, which wreak havoc on the power grid
22:44
@EinsteinsGrandson I just told you that personal experience is misleading, why would you try to make an argument based upon it?
You don't even have the slightest idea what a constructive debate actually is
You just blabber on about garbage that you experienced
From which you draw your whole point of view
love ya Oli, but you really don't need to waste your effort on him... despite the fact that I find your points incisive :D
You're really just another clueless, stupid person on the internet
6
When I talk to Americans.... I have the same experience.... on and on....
22:46
And you think you have major insights because you read Orwell? Please....
My opinion doesn't change
@EinsteinsGrandson That is the whole problem!
You think you already know the full truth. When, in fact, you're completely oblivious to the actual truth
It's the same when a person only watch American news....
And that is what makes you appear as a troll
Re PCIe card(s)..... Bandwidth usage near theoretical max of a bus is going to be interesting.
22:48
And then when he watches Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Australian, European news...
@allquixotic I'm a mod, I refuse to ignore people :P
@EinsteinsGrandson Oh, because the news are always right and never misleading?
+ travel around the world
+ talk to people from different corners of the planet
@EinsteinsGrandson What do you think we're doing in here?
I'm talking to you right now
And, obviously, you don't like my views
Yet, you're not learning shit
You just disagree with me over and over again
I imagine you do the same when you "travel to other countries"
@Hennes yeah -- I wonder if PCIe is well-suited to handle saturation; many protocols such as TCP/IP themselves are poorly suited to it out of the box
You talk to people, who you think are stupid, and then you disagree with them. Well done! :D
22:51
I am actually somewhat curious.
OK, but you're also affected by the environment....
@EinsteinsGrandson And you're not?
Last time I looked into it was with the oh-so-useful gigabit NICs on 33Mhz, 32 bit PCI.
which can work... as long nothing else uses that PCI bus. Like disks you are reading from.
But PCI-e is point to point, so that should not be a problem.
@Hennes it would suck if you were using that on the same PCIe bus as a GPU
I ended up running a dual gbit NIC on a 66Mhz, 64 bit PCI bus.
22:52
hehe
Re GPU: yes for PCI, nope for pCI-e
I am.... but still I try to get the information from as many different sources as possible....
you're right about point to point though, I guess the CPU will always have enough dedicated bandwidth on the QPI/DMI to handle the PCIe bus
however, if you're on Core 2 or older with an FSB, you can saturate it, it's not point to point AFAIK
And at these speeds the quality of your chipset might even get important
@EinsteinsGrandson And we're not?
22:54
If you use that kind of speed on such old servers, you really should deleted mail those cards to me for free
you know, with that amount of enormous data throughput between two boxes, I almost wonder if they can come up with some way to reduce the required throughput between the boxes in the cluster
@EinsteinsGrandson Like, do you think I'm a retard who only watches German news and build his opinion about the whole world around it?
even the news you get from internet, tv, radio, newspapers, magazines.... it's all propaganda
@EinsteinsGrandson Okay, so where are you getting your information from? 4chan?
22:55
Educated Stupid -- I feel like maybe EGS is formulating opinions not all that dissimilar to that one
this type of argument is not even wrong
Saying "the internet" is propaganda is pretty heavy you know ;D
Like, you're reading me on the internets
In fact, I'm reading you on the internet right now!!!!!
You propaganda distributor you
Yesterday I met a friend who traveled around Africa for 6 months.... He has just got back... He told me he would never send single penny to Africa... That it's all propaganda... The information we get about Africa...
Well, that's your information!
You're probably being told lies about it
From the internet!
Met anothe guy from Russia who moved to Europe and who is like 45... Told me the same.... All the information we get from news in US , Europe - the western world... it's all propaganda
@EinsteinsGrandson Woah, more personal experiences. Tell me more!
22:59
I'm in the internet and I'm not convincing you. Or maybe, I am convincing you that I am not convincing you.
I wonder if my view on the world would change if I met @EinsteinsGrandson in person
@TomWijsman Yo dawg, I herd u like convincing so we put some propaganda in ur propaganda so yo can get brainwashed while yer getting brainwashed
Because this talk on the internet is obviously just propaganda
BTW @EinsteinsGrandson, I really like how you skip topics once you're challenged on the previous topic. That is really how you have a constructive debate
When somebody wants to know the truth.... he/she has to go deep.... do the research.... but people are lazy, busy, .... so they just watch TV news... common internet websites .... and live in a lie
23:02
we can meet
@EinsteinsGrandson Thanks for those valuable insights on people. I bet people appreciate to learn about that
where do you live?
@allquixotic Pointless button looks like a point to me, it's round; points are round.
@EinsteinsGrandson Germany
which town?
23:03
Frankfurt am Main
@TomWijsman Put the round square cupola on the present king of France's head.
inb4 which street and house number
that's not far from Prague....
it's hard to argue on the internet...
@TomWijsman I'd probably give a fake one anyway :P
hey JManGeek! Join in the fun fest :D read up ;)
23:04
@EinsteinsGrandson Actually, it isn't
it's impossible to argue
@OliverSalzburg Oh no, endless propaganda. :(
we can meet in the centre....
@EinsteinsGrandson I haven't seen you argue at all. You just skip from one point to the next
@EinsteinsGrandson How can you be sure you will meet Oliver? A lot of people meet in the centre because they don't like fake addresses.
23:05
@TomWijsman Oh, I'd be there. I wouldn't miss this opportunity!
@OliverSalzburg Not sure if truth or lie. :D
@TomWijsman I'm sorry to say, but I've met with worse people I know from the internet :P
I've also travelled to other countries to meet people "from the internet". So these experiences @EinsteinsGrandson is talking about are really confusing to me
But, as I said, personal experiences shouldn't be something to draw conclusions from. They can be misleading
I tried as well; Clippy doesn't want to talk with me in real life, it's confusing me too...
@TomWijsman Clippy is only into Office small talk
Oh, I'm still studying, seems I need to wait some years before Clippy will start talking to me.
23:13
@OliverSalzburg Smalltalk? :D
@allquixotic The programming language?
@EinsteinsGrandson If you come to Frankfurt, don't expect to have a proper debate with me though. We would probably get drunk and have a good time. But you're welcome to come either way.
We can debate drunk though, that's fine
going home :D
23:29
Morning!
@JourneymanGeek Howdy
23:55
That sounds really good... I am able to argue even when I am drunk... ;o)
@EinsteinsGrandson: arguing is easy, making sense is hard.
if the oponent is talking nonsense.... it will show up.... it's just a matter of time...
You mispelled opponent
