| 00:00 | <@RStamer> | Must be a feature then (last time I talked to someone who read the spec, they said that wasn't a thing) |
| 00:00 | <@RStamer> | Also, V8 does the same thing. (silently nukes assignments to undefined) |
| 00:01 | | You're now known as TheWatcher[T-2] |
| 00:01 | <@celticminstrel> | defineProperty may be a nice idea, but I really don't like the interface. |
| 00:01 | <@RStamer> | Yeah |
| 00:01 | <@RStamer> | I can never remember how it works |
| 00:02 | <@celticminstrel> | This is why I didn't switch from __defineGetter__ as soon as I learned there was a "standard" alternative. >_> |
| 00:04 | | * Vornicus returns from going to the library |
| 00:05 | <~Vornicus> | hooray, being a 5 minute walk away from the library. |

| 04:58 | <~Vornicus> | gnarg, hatred |
| 04:59 | <~Vornicus> | Hardest problem in CS time again. |
| 05:00 | <~Vornicus> | Character has ability scores, and ability bonuses, which are based off the ability scores. |
| 05:00 | <&Derakon> | The problem of figuring out what exactly you were smoking two weeks earlier? |
| 05:00 | <~Vornicus> | Nope. |
| 05:00 | <~Vornicus> | Naming. |
| 05:00 | <&Derakon> | Ah. |
| 05:00 | <&Derakon> | Pyrel solves this by calling everything a Stat. |
| 05:00 | <~Vornicus> | Each individual race gets a bonus to certain ability scores. |
| 05:00 | <&Derakon> | But you might consider e.g. baseScore and derivedScore. |
| 05:00 | <~Vornicus> | What do I call the race's bonuses to ability scores? |
| 05:01 | <&Derakon> | Heh. |
| 05:01 | <&Derakon> | RacialModifier. |
| 05:01 | <&Derakon> | After all, it might be negative, so "bonus" is a misnomer. |
| 05:01 | <~Vornicus> | they're always positive. |
| 05:01 | <&Derakon> | At the moment! |
| 05:02 | <~Vornicus> | No, always, that's the rule. |
| 05:02 | <&Derakon> | Bah. |
| 05:02 | <~Vornicus> | but "modifier" is the word I was looking for. |
| 05:02 | <~Vornicus> | thank you! |
| 05:02 | <&Derakon> | \o/ |
| 05:11 | | * Vornicus has been grumping at that one for a while and just kept pushing the change off, but is now amidst refactoring that little piece of code. |
| 05:12 | <~Vornicus> | Also thank god for the "replace all" button and "search selection only" |
| 05:12 | <&Derakon> | :.,'as/\<foo\>/bar/g |
| 05:12 | <&Derakon> | Any good text editor has commands that look like line noise~ |
| 05:13 | <~Vornicus> | yeah fuck that noise |
| 05:13 | <~Vornicus> | (literally) |
| 05:13 | <&Derakon> | (That is "from here to the "a" bookmark placed earlier, replace the "foo" symbol when it appears on its own (as opposed to as a substring of another symbol) with "bar") |
| 05:13 | <&Derakon> | I would not wish to stick my dick into noise. |
| 05:14 | | * Vornicus hugs his gui. |

| 05:43 | < Xon> | how the heck does that happen? |
| 05:45 | <@Namegduf> | I think you mean, how does it happen TWICE? |
| 05:45 | <@Namegduf> | They had a major outage before because of HTTPS cert expiry. |
| 05:46 | < Syk> | "It appears that Azure is in the grip of a global cascading fail." |
| 05:46 | < Syk> | ahahaha |
| 05:49 | <@celticminstrel> | ...heh. |

| 19:44 | < ShellNinja> | Okay, I got the phone to set up a mobile hot spot. |
| 19:46 | < ShellNinja> | The iPad connects to the network, but accessing the internet fails. |
| 19:46 | < ShellNinja> | The phone itself can access the internet just fine. |
| 19:47 | < ShellNinja> | But the iPad takes several minutes to decide that there's a network problem, because the page isn't loading. |
| 19:48 | < ShellNinja> | What could be the problem here? |
| 19:51 | < JustBob> | Well, there's the obligatory: "You're using an Apple product," problem, but aside from that... |
| 19:51 | < JustBob> | Hrm. Have you considered looking into seeing if the phone is configured to accept a connection from the iPad? |
| 19:54 | < JustBob> | I suppose more information needed would be: Type of phone, your cellular provider. |
| 19:59 | < ShellNinja> | I'm not using the apple product, it's a client's. It's not just the iPad, I've tried to do this with my Android tablet, and the problem is identical. |
| 20:00 | < ShellNinja> | The devices properly connect to the phone's WAP. The are listed as connected on the phone. |
| 20:00 | < ShellNinja> | I can ping the phone, but nothing farther. |
| 20:00 | < ShellNinja> | It's a Motorola thing with Android, I think. |
| 20:05 | < JustBob> | You might want to pull up the phone's config and make sure it's passing data properly, if you're deadstopped at the phone. |
| 20:06 | < JustBob> | But without a specific model/OS/program, I can only be vague. :p |
| 20:10 | <&ToxicFrog> | ShellNinja: depending on your provider, the phone might be configured to disallow tethering. |
| 20:11 | <&ToxicFrog> | You might be able to re-enable it yourself, or you might need to root the phone and install custom firmware. |
| 20:15 | < ShellNinja> | Okay, let's see. Model is MB526. Provider is OneCall (Norwegian). Android 2.3.6. |
| 20:18 | < ShellNinja> | No idea how to enable/disable tethering here. |

| 20:59 | < JustBob> | http://www.onecall.no/kundeservice/internett_via_mobilen.php is all I can really suggest? |
| 21:06 | < ShellNinja> | This won't work here. It suggests using the phone like a modem, but I've already tried connecting via bluetooth (fails due to lack of support) and the iPad doesn't appear to have USB ports. |
| 21:27 | < JustBob> | Ah, well. I dunno. |

| 22:58 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Argh. Fucking HP, reusing the same model name for 79 different laptops |
| 23:01 | <@RStamer> | lol |
| 23:01 | <@RStamer> | Things I've learned over the years: hardware manufacturers hate you and want you to use their support. |
| 23:05 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Well, I do have a manual open now, in pdf form. Which is better than dell(?) which labels them pdf but really provides exe |
| 23:08 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Bloody hell, it's actually quite easy to remove the hd, or at least the cover. Push the battery release the other way, pry off. Done. |
| 23:09 | | ErikMesoy is now known as ErikMesoy|sleep |
| 23:13 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Nothing appears loose :( |
| 23:20 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | and the drive is still dea |
| 23:20 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | dead |
| 23:20 | <&McMartin> | =/ |
| 23:21 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | the SMART status actually gives it a pass, despite the short and long tests both immediately failing with a read error |
| 23:21 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | It got jostled at the airport while in a laptop bag and turned off |
| 23:30 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Starting to get paranoid about desktop drives |
| 23:30 | <&ToxicFrog> | ...I was under the impression that, if the drive had failed a test, that would be recorded in the status buffer and the SMART test would report a failure. |
| 23:31 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | It shows in the error logs but not in any of the statuses |
| 23:35 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | It does sound like it's a controller failure |
| 23:36 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | So in theory a data recovery company could get the contents off of it |
| 23:39 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | .. which costs as much as the entire laptop |
| 23:39 | <&ToxicFrog> | If you mean the controller on the motherboard, just connect it to a different computer. |
| 23:39 | <&ToxicFrog> | If you mean the control circuitry on the drive proper, you can often swap it out for the board from a different drive of the same model and fix things that way. |
| 23:40 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | I meant the latter |
| 23:55 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Running the bios's self test now |
