14:48.55frostyfrogromanovic: Nope, no new messages. "minimize" x3 I understand that feeling
14:53.10frostyfrogaeryndunham: Psst, now that the hurricanes are gone, are things still hectic down there?
14:54.22aeryndunhamWork is an absolutele disaster :p
14:54.50frostyfrogStill trying to rewrite all that software, eh? xP
14:55.29frostyfrogGood to hear that work is where most of the worry and concern is.
14:56.04frostyfroghears that Puerto Rico is still having a rough time.
15:13.19aeryndunhamYeah, PR and the USVI are in really bad shape :(
16:10.35aeryndunhamI've donated a little bit to PR relief, next payday I'll give to USVI. I feel bad for them down there.
16:12.46frostyfrogYeah :(
16:13.20frostyfrogThe quote I heard on the news about insulin being a life or death emergency kind of thing as well D:
16:19.55aeryndunhamyeah it's really sad

17:04.51aeryndunhamOh good, I screwed up an Arch install :p
17:07.53frostyfrogHow so?
17:08.14frostyfrogForget the WiFi drivers?
17:08.21frostyfrogOr to build the kernel image?
17:08.52frostyfrogOr to correctly install the bootloader?
17:11.37spangbornNobody screws up bootloaders
17:11.39spangbornNOBODY
17:11.42spangbornhides
17:23.14frostyfrogo.o
17:24.11frostyfroginstalls syslinux over grub. Much like a child scribbles over a drawing with a different design.
17:27.37aeryndunhamNot sure
17:27.45aeryndunhamI was just installing it in a VM, but something did not go well
17:27.48aeryndunhamdoesn't much matter
17:28.51aeryndunhamugh, I wanna book a hair appointment but i actually have to CALL this place :/
17:29.32aeryndunhamdoesn't understand where her insane phone anxiety comes from
17:38.01eightyeightalways 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
17:38.42eightyeightwell, maybe that's not entirely correct
17:38.52eightyeightexplains
17:39.33eightyeighti'm writing a cryptogram puzzle generator in python, and i wanted to shuffle the alphabet, preventing a letter substituting for itself
17:40.14eightyeighti wrote a shuffle algorithm, that starts at the end of the list, generates a random number less than the pointer, and swaps elements
17:40.32eightyeightthen the pointer decrements by one in the list, and goes again
17:40.44eightyeighta simple shuffle algorithm
17:41.07eightyeightbut i didn't realize that i was actually preventing any character from retaining its original position
17:41.42eightyeightunknowing, i wrote a check to make sure that "a" was not substituted with itself, etc.
17:42.40eightyeightblew my mind, when after a few thousand loops, printing only when a letter was substituting itself, that i was coming up empty handed
17:43.00eightyeightsurely i has a bug in the code. nope. i coded it such that i achived exactly what i wanted, and the check is unnecessary
17:43.40eightyeighthttps://ae7.st/p/6nj is the code in question. lines 10-13 are the shuffle, 17-19 the check
17:44.21eightyeightj = r.randrange(i) # 0 <= j < i-1, which is exactly what i wanted, without realizing it. heh.
17:44.34eightyeightremoves all the unnecessary code
17:54.26frostyfrogpulls their hair out over CentOS' version of Docker.
17:54.47frostyfrog/usr/bin/docker-current: invalid size: '"1024m"'.
17:54.50frostyfroglies!
17:55.18frostyfrogThe docs say it should be so! D= https://docs.docker.com/v1.12/engine/admin/resource_constraints/#/memory
17:56.44frostyfrogfeels stupid now. :s
18:10.59manithreedocker 1.12?  my deepest sympathies
18:13.35spangbornWhat's a docker
18:13.50spangbornaeryndunham: I dislike talking on the phone as well
18:24.11frostyfrogfinds radio so much easier to talk on than the phone...
18:24.29aeryndunhamI had to make a hair appointment
18:24.31aeryndunhamit was stressful
18:25.00frostyfrogmanithree: yeah. Also, apparently sending --memory="1g" isn't considered a valid parameter value but --memory=1g is.
18:43.21manithreewonders if that's a go (library) thing - it seems pretty stupid
18:44.14manithree'docker run -it --rm  --memory="1g" ubuntu' works in 1.17 CE
18:47.49aeryndunhamsighs the sigh of "nothing is working" yet again
18:54.43aeryndunhamI need to do 2 things I can't do either =(
18:55.20spangborn💩
18:55.36aeryndunhamyup
19:08.53aeryndunhamSome genius changed our whole managment console website to https only but, like, didn't tell anyone, so half the plugins don't support https yet

19:30.05youtahAh, that's the one I was looking for
19:32.03youtahYou know what's scary? Being one of the first persons on scene of a forest fire
19:33.37spangbornNah
19:33.38spangbornJust pee on it
20:46.21*** join/#utah aeryndunham_ (~aeryndunh@96.71.45.252)
21:37.05frostyfrogmanithree: It was because I'm in python calling docker without a shell and golang doesn't remove quotes for parameters after an equals sign.
21:39.17romanovicsheesh. 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
21:39.19spangbornThis seems like a very convoluted setup
21:40.02romanovic"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"
21:40.22spangbornWe have office battles over lightswitches
21:40.27spangbornI got yelled at by a VP for turning them off once
21:41.27romanovicreally? did you come to some solution, or just suffer through the lights?
21:42.17spangbornI just suffer
21:42.25romanovic:(
21:43.12frostyfrog:(
21:43.19frostyfrogsuffers through it too.
21:43.28frostyfrogIt's a pain
21:44.53romanovicI 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
21:45.47frostyfrogsame here
21:45.55frostyfrogand all the bugs die at my desk ;-;
21:46.13*** join/#utah pashdown (pashdown@peteashdown.org)
21:46.19romanovicif 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.
21:46.47romanovicthere are many other emergency lights providing more than enough light, though, so nobody has noticed
21:46.57frostyfrogxD
21:48.12romanovicfrostyfrog: 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?
21:49.08frostyfrogMan, if it were a roach problem
21:49.11frostyfrogshudders.
21:49.49frostyfrogLuckily, it's a bunch of small flying bugs that fly at night and are attracted to light.
21:50.01frostyfroghas only seen a roach in Florida.
