<@Tarinaky>
So. You know how you have unit tests and behavior-driven tests?
11:52
<@Tarinaky>
What would you call it when you have an experiment driven test, where you're running some experiment, doing regression on the resulting curve and getting a number out as your test?
11:52
<@Tarinaky>
s/resulting curve/resulting data/
11:56
<@Tarinaky>
It seems to me that Behavior driven testing and Unit testing are focused on the case where you're measuring something discrete and deterministic.
11:56
<@Tarinaky>
Given some well known input state vector, perform some transforms on it, get some well known output state vector.

< Julius>
The stupidity of users knows no bounds.
16:18
< Julius>
I have told the user of the laptop NOT TO BOOT FROM THE USB.
16:18
< Julius>
She booted from the USB. And installed Windows.
16:18
< Julius>
THREE TIMES.
16:20
< Julius>
And complains that Windows looks just as if she installed it anew!
16:26
< Julius>
It physically hurts me to experience this stupidity firsthand.
16:46
< Julius>
Welp. Back to the drawing board. I'm going to have to reinstall all the software yet again.
16:47
<@Tarinaky>
disable USB in boot order.
16:47
<@Tarinaky>
Tape over USB slots
16:48
<&McMartin>
Ghost the disk after you install all the software for easy revert
16:49
<@Tarinaky>
That's a good idea actually. You can create a little ghost partition for the restore image :D
16:49
< Julius>
Tarinaky: No. I can't do that. The USB stick is load-bearing. Windows won't boot without it .
16:49
< Julius>
I wish I were kidding.
16:50
< Julius>
McMartin: That is a good idea.
16:50
<@Tarinaky>
Julius: Won't boot without it like... ever... or won't boot without it without making the luser unhappy?
16:50
< Julius>
OTOH, I don't have drives large enough to hold the image.
16:50
<@TheWatcher>
beat the user heavily with the laptop.
16:50
<@Tarinaky>
Because the luser being unhappy can probably be assigned its own lower-priority ticket than "get user a working laptop"
16:50
< Julius>
Tarinaky: Ever. The firmware fails to recognize that there's anything there.
16:51
< Julius>
So I sort of chainload it through a Win7 installation USB.
16:51
<@Tarinaky>
Well that sounds like it should be binned and replaced.
16:51
< Julius>
In the past I've solved this with a dual-boot Ubuntu, but I don't remember which ubuntu it was, and the new ubuntu doesn't fix it.
16:52
<@Tarinaky>
I suggest you blame the user's fault on the hardware and mark it as pending on a replacement laptop
16:52
<@Tarinaky>
But I am a bastard.
16:53
< Julius>
I don't care about the premarital affairs of your parents. :V
16:55
<@Tarinaky>
No, you see, bastard is also a derogatory remark to mean evil or of a low-cunning nature. I was using it in a self-effacing manner.
16:56
< Julius>
I see.
