| 14:53.10 | frostyfrog | aeryndunham: Psst, now that the hurricanes are gone, are things still hectic down there? |
| 14:54.22 | aeryndunham | Work is an absolutele disaster :p |
| 14:54.50 | frostyfrog | Still trying to rewrite all that software, eh? xP |
| 14:55.29 | frostyfrog | Good to hear that work is where most of the worry and concern is. |
| 14:56.04 | frostyfrog | hears that Puerto Rico is still having a rough time. |
| 15:13.19 | aeryndunham | Yeah, PR and the USVI are in really bad shape :( |
| 16:10.35 | aeryndunham | I've donated a little bit to PR relief, next payday I'll give to USVI. I feel bad for them down there. |
| 16:12.46 | frostyfrog | Yeah :( |
| 16:13.20 | frostyfrog | The quote I heard on the news about insulin being a life or death emergency kind of thing as well D: |

| 17:08.14 | frostyfrog | Forget the WiFi drivers? |
| 17:08.21 | frostyfrog | Or to build the kernel image? |
| 17:08.52 | frostyfrog | Or to correctly install the bootloader? |

| 17:27.37 | aeryndunham | Not sure |
| 17:27.45 | aeryndunham | I was just installing it in a VM, but something did not go well |
| 17:27.48 | aeryndunham | doesn't much matter |
| 17:28.51 | aeryndunham | ugh, I wanna book a hair appointment but i actually have to CALL this place :/ |
| 17:29.32 | aeryndunham | doesn't understand where her insane phone anxiety comes from |
| 17:38.01 | eightyeight | always pleasant when i code something by accident, and it's not until after i've written up a unit test, only to discover that i don't need it |
| 17:38.42 | eightyeight | well, maybe that's not entirely correct |
| 17:38.52 | eightyeight | explains |
| 17:39.33 | eightyeight | i'm writing a cryptogram puzzle generator in python, and i wanted to shuffle the alphabet, preventing a letter substituting for itself |
| 17:40.14 | eightyeight | i wrote a shuffle algorithm, that starts at the end of the list, generates a random number less than the pointer, and swaps elements |
| 17:40.32 | eightyeight | then the pointer decrements by one in the list, and goes again |
| 17:40.44 | eightyeight | a simple shuffle algorithm |
| 17:41.07 | eightyeight | but i didn't realize that i was actually preventing any character from retaining its original position |
| 17:41.42 | eightyeight | unknowing, i wrote a check to make sure that "a" was not substituted with itself, etc. |
| 17:42.40 | eightyeight | blew my mind, when after a few thousand loops, printing only when a letter was substituting itself, that i was coming up empty handed |
| 17:43.00 | eightyeight | surely i has a bug in the code. nope. i coded it such that i achived exactly what i wanted, and the check is unnecessary |
| 17:43.40 | eightyeight | https://ae7.st/p/6nj is the code in question. lines 10-13 are the shuffle, 17-19 the check |
| 17:44.21 | eightyeight | j = r.randrange(i) # 0 <= j < i-1, which is exactly what i wanted, without realizing it. heh. |
| 17:44.34 | eightyeight | removes all the unnecessary code |
| 17:54.26 | frostyfrog | pulls their hair out over CentOS' version of Docker. |
| 17:54.47 | frostyfrog | /usr/bin/docker-current: invalid size: '"1024m"'. |
| 17:54.50 | frostyfrog | lies! |
| 17:55.18 | frostyfrog | The docs say it should be so! D= https://docs.docker.com/v1.12/engine/admin/resource_constraints/#/memory |
| 17:56.44 | frostyfrog | feels stupid now. :s |
| 18:10.59 | manithree | docker 1.12? my deepest sympathies |
| 18:13.35 | spangborn | What's a docker |
| 18:13.50 | spangborn | aeryndunham: I dislike talking on the phone as well |
| 18:24.11 | frostyfrog | finds radio so much easier to talk on than the phone... |
| 18:24.29 | aeryndunham | I had to make a hair appointment |
| 18:24.31 | aeryndunham | it was stressful |
| 18:25.00 | frostyfrog | manithree: yeah. Also, apparently sending --memory="1g" isn't considered a valid parameter value but --memory=1g is. |
| 18:43.21 | manithree | wonders if that's a go (library) thing - it seems pretty stupid |
| 18:44.14 | manithree | 'docker run -it --rm --memory="1g" ubuntu' works in 1.17 CE |
| 18:47.49 | aeryndunham | sighs the sigh of "nothing is working" yet again |
| 18:54.43 | aeryndunham | I need to do 2 things I can't do either =( |

| 21:39.17 | romanovic | sheesh. a maintenance person is coming around to make sure all of the lights work. and since we programmers have disconnected a large number of them, they're turned off even with the switch on |
| 21:39.19 | spangborn | This seems like a very convoluted setup |
| 21:40.02 | romanovic | "i have to connect the lights back up just to make sure they work" "please no, they work, we just want them all off, forever" |
| 21:40.22 | spangborn | We have office battles over lightswitches |
| 21:40.27 | spangborn | I got yelled at by a VP for turning them off once |
| 21:41.27 | romanovic | really? did you come to some solution, or just suffer through the lights? |
| 21:42.17 | spangborn | I just suffer |
| 21:42.25 | romanovic | :( |
| 21:43.12 | frostyfrog | :( |
| 21:43.19 | frostyfrog | suffers through it too. |
| 21:43.28 | frostyfrog | It's a pain |
| 21:44.53 | romanovic | I can't. I worked my first day at this desk with the lights directly overhead, and it was impossible. they are the emergency lights so even with the switch off they would stay on |
| 21:45.47 | frostyfrog | same here |
| 21:45.55 | frostyfrog | and all the bugs die at my desk ;-; |

| 21:46.19 | romanovic | if disconnecting the emergency lights was going to be an issue, I was ready to turn my cubicle into a fully enclosed cave, with plywood and canvas. Or place some blackout shroud over the light, or both. |
| 21:46.47 | romanovic | there are many other emergency lights providing more than enough light, though, so nobody has noticed |
| 21:46.57 | frostyfrog | xD |
| 21:48.12 | romanovic | frostyfrog: did they ask if you could go ahead and get a can of pesticide and take care of the roach problem, that would be great? |
| 21:49.08 | frostyfrog | Man, if it were a roach problem |
| 21:49.11 | frostyfrog | shudders. |
| 21:49.49 | frostyfrog | Luckily, it's a bunch of small flying bugs that fly at night and are attracted to light. |
