vil: what do you mean, re: asynchronous?
<ec>
vil: everything you've seen before that said “asynchronous,” except Paws, was using low-level threads in a non-threaded language to provide easy parallelism of specific tasks, without exposing the threads to the non-threaded language.
<incomprehensibly>
whitequark: ocaml's functors kind of mirror the category theory definition, just in a different way than haskell's, if i remember correctly
<ec>
basically, “asynchronicity” == exposing threaded, parallelized code in the language-of-implementation, to the non-threaded userspace.
<ec>

ec: i vaguely remember something
<incomprehensibly>
:p
<ec>
I have a family in the lower-48 that are nearly like family to me
<incomprehensibly>
oh ok
<ec>
parents, and siblings, of my first college roommate, Christian
<incomprehensibly>
cool
<incomprehensibly>
AM I YOUR BEST INTERNET FRIEND
<ec>
I haven't talked to Christian in years, but I see their family every time I come through the midwest
<incomprehensibly>
I'M GOING TO COLLEGE ON AUGUST 22
<ec>
yes <3
<incomprehensibly>
<3 <3
<purr>
Let it be known that incomprehensibly hearts <3.
<incomprehensibly>
well i do
<ec>
those statements *seem* like they should be related, 'cause caps and immediacy
<ec>
but they actually aren't
<vil>
ec: THANK YOU
<incomprehensibly>
yeah :p
<ec>
“I AM GOING TO COLLGE ON AUGUST 22 BECAUSE I AM YOUR BEST INTERNET FRIEND”
<incomprehensibly>
MY BEST REAL LIFE FRIEND WILL BE MY ROOMMATE
<ec>
is how I read that
<incomprehensibly>
IS ANOTEHR FACT
<vil>
that's all I needed, a two line explanation
<vil>
hi incomprehensibly
<incomprehensibly>
hi vil
<ec>
another FACT-IN-CAPS, actually.
<incomprehensibly>
going to colelgelglevlcge
<ec>
vil: <3
<ec>
lol incomprehensibly
<ec>
you're soooooo excited
<vil>
incomprehensibly: COLLEGE IS AWESOME
<incomprehensibly>
ec: I'M GONNA HAVE A MACBOOK AND KEYBOARD AND MONITORSPEAKERS AND PUT THEM IN THE DORM ROOM
<ec>
wait, vil is in college!?
<ec>
incomprehensibly: omg.
<incomprehensibly>
AND HAVE LOADS OF SEX
* vil
facedesks
<incomprehensibly>
AND MAKE MUSIC
<incomprehensibly>
ec: we're gonna make a website
<incomprehensibly>
like
<incomprehensibly>
ismicahorcaiusgettinglaid.com
<incomprehensibly>
and then
<incomprehensibly>
a raspi
<incomprehensibly>
and you flick a switch
<vil>
incomprehensibly: the sex part doesn't get any less difficult just because you're in college
<incomprehensibly>
and it changes the website
<incomprehensibly>
so you can visit it on a smartphone to tell if the room is off-limits
<incomprehensibly>
vil: well i beg to differ
<vil>
haha
<incomprehensibly>
vil: if i and my ex hadn't lived at home there would have been much more
<ec>
incomprehensibly: …
<ec>
incomprehensibly: … I feel like, everything just said, makes it essentially unnecessary.
<ec>
The *act of describing that device* has made the device unnecessary.
<ec>
What form if meta is that? Does it have a name? It should have a name.
<incomprehensibly>
oh are you making a joke that people who mess with raspis do not have sex
<vil>
our code phrase for "currently having sex" was "blackhawk down"
<vil>
on the whiteboard
<incomprehensibly>
haha
<vil>
now that you mention it though, I do need a project to use my Pi for
<incomprehensibly>
ec: anyway you're wrong because people who mess with raspis do have sex
<vil>
ec: and yes, I'll be a sophomore in the fall
<incomprehensibly>
and that's a fact
* incomprehensibly
is eating m&ms
<vil>
MNMS
<incomprehensibly>
COLLEGGE
<vil>
I'm better at the whole social thing having been through a year of college now
<incomprehensibly>
nice
<vil>
still not better at the whole relationship thing
<vil>
I had a girlfriend for a bit!
* incomprehensibly
highfives
<incomprehensibly>
o/
* vil
returns it
<vil>
I dunno
<incomprehensibly>
how'd that go?
<vil>
well, neither of us hate each other afterwards, so that's good
<incomprehensibly>
that's good
<vil>
but I was never really that into her I guess
<vil>
I was hoping I would be
<vil>
she really liked me
<incomprehensibly>
ah i know how that goes
<vil>
and I figured, once I got used to it, it would grow on me
<vil>
but no such luck
<incomprehensibly>
yeah, it's so rare for two people's feelings to line up
<vil>
I'm not really ready to have someone attached to me anyway
<vil>
other people are complicated
<vil>
and I have a short attention span
devyn has joined #elliottcable
<vil>
but I'm glad it happened
<vil>
hi devyn
<devyn>
hi vil
<incomprehensibly>
vil: mhm
<devyn>
bought RAM. sad :(
<devyn>
so expensive
<devyn>
not happy
<vil>
bad stick?
<vil>
oh
<vil>
how much geebees?
<devyn>
2x4GB $70 :(
<incomprehensibly>
buyer's remorse?
<incomprehensibly>
aw i gtg
<incomprehensibly>
gnight
<devyn>
incomprehensibly: no I needed it but it's too goddamn expensive right now
<vil>
incomprehensibly: g'night
<vil>
devyn: upgrading to 8GB was the best decision I ever made
<vil>
took my old laptop from meh to awesome
<incomprehensibly>
devyn: aw
<incomprehensibly>
ec: hey you know stuff
<incomprehensibly>
devyn: and you too
<incomprehensibly>
so
<ec>
hm?
<incomprehensibly>
when are new macbooks coming
<ec>
busy, bro >:
<incomprehensibly>
i want to make the best decision
<vil>
incomprehensibly: get an air they're awesome
<incomprehensibly>
coo
<incomprehensibly>
vil: but they ain't powahful
<vil>
and massive batterly life now
<devyn>
vil: it's for my server. I would have liked to put way more than 8 GB in but not at these prices
<vil>
mine runs Xcode and Minecraft, those are the two most power-heavy things I run :P
<vil>
devyn: yeah. I wanted 16 for this Air, but the 11" doesn't support it
<incomprehensibly>
yeah it would be sweet for battery and portability
<devyn>
I have 4 GB RAM and an SSD on my MacBook
<vil>
perfect for on campus
<devyn>
it runs wonderfully
<vil>
that's why I got it
<incomprehensibly>
but I think I'd appreciate the extra power of a pro
<vil>
^
<ec>
it's more than powerful enough, incomprehensibly
<vil>
8gb air with ssd flies
<ec>
get an air. trust me.
<ec>
upgraded Air, with an external display: couldn't be happier if you did that
<vil>
my old pro was 2.33 (ish) ghz
<vil>
my air is 1.7 and is twice as fast perceptibly
<devyn>
yeah clock speed isn't a measure of performance between different models of processors :p
<vil>
the SSD makes a huge difference because it shifts the bottleneck
<devyn>
and yes whatever you do, get an SSD
<vil>
devyn: well, it's the best I've got
<incomprehensibly>
hm i was just gonna get 13 inch pro w hard drive
<vil>
and the "twice as fast perceptibly" is the important part anyway
<devyn>
my MacBook Unibody/White Late 2009 used to take like one and a half to two minutes to start up
<devyn>
now it does it in 10 seconds
<vil>
about the same here
<devyn>
more like 6 or 7 not counting login time
<joelteon>
yeah
<joelteon>
startup is way better now
<incomprehensibly>
aw man now i'm all indecisive againnnnn
<joelteon>
not that i ever shut off my laptop
<joelteon>
but if i did
<devyn>
haha same :p
<vil>
incomprehensibly: get an air, try it, you can always swap it within the return period
<vil>
you'll love it
<incomprehensibly>
if i can swap it will only exacerbate indecisiveness
<incomprehensibly>
:p
<vil>
haha
<devyn>
just get an air
<devyn>
laptops are meant for portability not performance
<devyn>
get a desktop if you want something with high perf
<incomprehensibly>
well this will be my only computer
<incomprehensibly>
i am poor
<vil>
here's my setup: air for everything, cheap eBay Mac mini as a file server with 1TB
<devyn>
the air will be plenty performant for what you want to do
<devyn>
especially the new one
<vil>
by cheap I mean ~$100
<vil>
plus 12 hour battery life
<vil>
god I want that
<vil>
dammit Apple
<devyn>
incomprehensibly: you're looking at this from the perspective of your current computer. stop it. your MacBook is really fucking old. the new Air will beat the pants off of it
<incomprehensibly>
devyn: i haven't had my macbook for months and months
<incomprehensibly>
it died
<devyn>
oh right
<devyn>
well
<incomprehensibly>
i'm currently on a relatively recent mac mini
<devyn>
how recent
<incomprehensibly>
which is my family's
<devyn>
also if it has a hard drive it doesn't count
<devyn>
the air will still beat the pants off it
<devyn>
:p
<incomprehensibly>
mid 2011
<incomprehensibly>
i guess
<incomprehensibly>
ec: so you really recommend air over pro
<devyn>
currently my server is the only computer I own without a solid state drive
<ec>
Yep, incomprehensibly
<devyn>
it has made such a difference
<ec>
SSD <3
<vil>
-best S SD
<purr>
SSD IS BESTSD
<devyn>
-best SOLIDSTATEDRIVE
<purr>
SOLIDSTATEDRIVE IS BESTDRIVE
<vil>
incomprehensibly: smuggle the mini to college with you as well
<incomprehensibly>
vil: lol
<purr>
lol
<incomprehensibly>
it's the primary computer my family uses now
<vil>
you can hide it in the space that the Air won't take up
<devyn>
haha
<incomprehensibly>
haha
<vil>
that reminds me, I need a smaller laptop sleeve for my backpack
<vil>
the one in there fits up to 15"
<vil>
and takes up half the space
<vil>
I can literally put the air in width-wise
<incomprehensibly>
haha wow
<devyn>
lol
<vil>
…or I could get another Air and stack them
<vil>
hmm
<joelteon>
yeah why wouldn't you want two laptops
<devyn>
I have a 13" MacBook in a 15" nylon sleeve. it'd probably be nice to have something smaller but it's fine
<devyn>
hahahaha
<vil>
joelteon: one for each hand
<devyn>
give them both names and talk to them for text input
<vil>
I have a 1999 Powerbook, could take that
<vil>
500mhz, baby
<vil>
upgraded it myself
<joelteon>
should I use...linux?
<devyn>
on what
<joelteon>
for a desktop
<joelteon>
if i do i'll buy like
<joelteon>
an ultrabook or something
<vil>
lolultrabook
<purr>
lolultrabook
<vil>
-best ULTRA BOOK
<purr>
ULTRABOOK IS BESTBOOK
<vil>
such a dumb name
<vil>
anyway
<joelteon>
-best best iality
<purr>
BESTIALITY IS BESTIALITY
<devyn>
honestly lenovo's “ultrabooks” are probably the best windows laptops you can get
<joelteon>
yeah that's what i'm saying
<joelteon>
get the least shitty non-macbook
<joelteon>
because it's cheaper
<vil>
most likely, yeah
<joelteon>
and I don't want arch to fuck up my hardware
<devyn>
I'd just go with a macbook though
<joelteon>
like they say it will
<joelteon>
yeah
<vil>
I really like Vizio's hardware, dunno about specs
<joelteon>
battery life is shit though
<joelteon>
for my macbook
<vil>
MAC BOOK FOR WIN
<devyn>
your macbook has shitty battery life?
<devyn>
what planet are you from?
<vil>
Mac for interaction, Linux for servers, Windows for solitaire
<joelteon>
the planet where the people who write mac drivers for arch linux are morons
<vil>
power management is hard
<joelteon>
yeah
<vil>
why are you using not OS X
<joelteon>
i am
<joelteon>
battery life is shit for my macbook when i use arch
<vil>
oh ok
<devyn>
joelteon: well I won't judge your choices because I've been there, but are you using cpupower / frequency scaling?
<vil>
Apple does some crazy shit to get the life they do
<devyn>
because that would be a big part
<joelteon>
as far as i remember, i did
<vil>
like App Nap in 10.9
<joelteon>
>_>
<vil>
that's gonna be awesome
<devyn>
it might be
<ec>
ughgghghghawhatr
<devyn>
I'm skeptical
<joelteon>
it won't be for me
<joelteon>
because i use a tiling wm
<vil>
I sorta do
<joelteon>
yeah and i do wanna try arch
<vil>
Moom
<joelteon>
but
<joelteon>
if it does get all fucked up
<ec>
arch <3
<joelteon>
also, multi monitor support
<joelteon>
what happens then
<vil>
Arch will be on my next server
<joelteon>
is linuxg ood at that
<vil>
when I build one
<vil>
just remembered that they fixed full screen <3
<vil>
why don't I have 10.9 yet
<joelteon>
PLS RSPOND
<vil>
joelteon: I THINK it can do it ok? Dunno
<vil>
I've never run linux on my primary machine
<vil>
I've only recently learned enough Unix to run it at all
<joelteon>
meh
<joelteon>
honestly if i could get a proper WM on osx there would be no reason to ever use any other OS
