decimation: asciilifeform: yeah
the 'low flow'
toilets are bullshit
trinque: at
the amazement or
the lack of
tools
trinque: I
tend
to be amazed by guys my age
that don't own *any*
tools
decimation: asciilifeform: what I don't get about
the 'orc' world is: why not learn
to fix shit like
that yourself?
decimation: not because building
to standards is dumb, but because it inevitably
turns into a racket
decimation: but yes, a gfi would have helped
too. are
they not standard in ru?
trinque: "Development work on Elephant been limited since 2009 and support not complete for
the latest versions of SBCL and ClozureCL. It hasn't been
tested at all with recent Allegro and Lispworks releases." << must be near
the end of
the most recent lisp cycle
decimation: most shit chinese
transformers I've come across are direct shorts
to neutral
decimation: well, depends on
the exact nature of
the shock
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 02:49:54; decimation: I bet
the girl in
the bathtub would have wished
that her charger came with a $0.01 fuse
decimation: asciilifeform:
they come on both dell & hp rack servers
trinque: well hell,
the currency's not worth anything anymore, maybe
they are
trinque: how in
the fuck is github worth anything let alone 750mil
☟︎ decimation: I bet
the girl in
the bathtub would have wished
that her charger came with a $0.01 fuse
☟︎ decimation: although all
the matrox boards I have used recently were shit
mats: did he inspire you
to do
the same
mircea_popescu: speaking of
trios, she actually left
the guy
to be a cabaret dancer in
the 70s,
trinque: where do I wire
the funds?
mircea_popescu: apparently one doesn't need
to master english
to catch
the run-on sentences disease.
mircea_popescu: "I like
to re-assure you of
the legitimacy of
this services as we will not be involved in any fraudulent act and will never be. use
the money wisely, we only want
to feel good by helping people
this
time of
the year,
this is
the only
thing
that makes my wife happy
too even now
that she is not here with me anymore, we have
too much
to give away as I only have few months left on earth."
trinque: I guess
the ps browser might be opera
too
trinque: on
the wii you use a mickey mouse finger and your self respect
mircea_popescu: in other news,
there's 3x as many people reading
trilema off a sony playstation
than nintendo wii
mircea_popescu: it is after all
the one problem of
the clockwork puzzle. how
to make one ?
mircea_popescu is kinda curious whether anyone ever manages
to reverse
the magic i put into
this
thing
mircea_popescu: this is all i ever dreamed of - a mmorpg where i know
the owner so all
the stupid shit can be shot in
the head
mircea_popescu: im
too busy fucking digging up boulders for crying out loud
trinque: right,
that's
the fun part
ben_vulpes: i'm going
to beg a copy of
trinque's
tools and go murder parts of
the economy he's not
trinque: I'm under
the delusion
that I can make suffciently general
tools
the jobs don't
take
that long
trinque: still looking for
the perfect set of
tools for
that
trinque: every program I've ever been paid
to write was just a glorified db editor
mats: >Russian Dies After Eating [Parts of]
Tablet Computer
to Avoid Police Detention
trinque: though I'm not sure yet what
that looks like
trinque: Pierre_Rochard:
that said I am under
the suspicion
that
this kind of programming can also be done with CLOS in common lisp
Pierre_Rochard: trinque: I made
that mistake with
the first version of pacioli with datetime logic, I’ve pushed all of
that logic onto postgres now
assbot: Logged on 08-06-2015 23:57:30; decimation: asciilifeform:
the intel cards were hardly high performance
mircea_popescu: <Pierre_Rochard>
this will be a different role
though, I’ll be working with institutional investors
to move
their accounting from spreadsheets and PDFs
to SQL databases <<<
the virgin goddess weeps.
trinque: most ORMs would load
the whole damn row into an "object" whatever
that is, load all
the objects into a list,
then iterate over
that duplicated set of data and barf out
the aggregate
☟︎ trinque: consider for example
the difference between using a python ORM and raw SQL for an aggregate over some column
trinque: staying
too cozy in python, you'll probably end up reinventing
things
the db can do better
Pierre_Rochard: I’d like
to just go straight
to pl/pgsql at some point
Pierre_Rochard: agreed,
though I do lean on sqlalchemy a lot, I can write raw sql
trinque put a great deal of effort into
that problem, only
to conclude
that one should learn
to write
the damn query directly
trinque: worth considering how close you may be able
to get
the accountant
to writing
the queries
themselves
trinque: all
the questions any account will ever want
to ask are able
to be expressed as SQL
ben_vulpes: trinque likes
to bang on about how it was designed as an end-user-programming environment for accountants
ben_vulpes: Pierre_Rochard: get intimate with
the sql
Pierre_Rochard: trinque: agreed, great role
to hone my python skills in
trinque shudders
to
think of some of
the worst abuses of excel spreadsheets he's seen
Pierre_Rochard: this will be a different role
though, I’ll be working with institutional investors
to move
their accounting from spreadsheets and PDFs
to SQL databases
Pierre_Rochard: it’s out of
the sling, starting physical
therapy
tomorrow
BingoBoingo: trinque: Yeah,
that's pretty much
the standard for setting up anything.
