<devyn> …
<devyn> joelteon: lots of us, including me, and apparently now ELLIOTTCABLE for some reason
<joelteon> someone told me there's a package tracking card for google now
<devyn> package tracking card?
<devyn> what's that
<devyn> oh!
<devyn> for google now
<ELLIOTTCABLE> devyn: hm?
<devyn> lol
<purr> lol
<devyn> I parse that as for (google) now, not for (google now)
<devyn> joelteon: possibly. I'll check it out
<devyn> joelteon: looks like if you get sent an email with a tracking number in it it adds a card, yes
<devyn> joelteon: probably can't test it though; I don't think it would work in Canada because American companies are silly
<devyn> joelteon: you know I'm pretty sure you can get Google Now on iOS
<devyn> joelteon: yeah, Google Search app
<devyn> ELLIOTTCABLE: I never did ask you why you have a nexus 5
nuck has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<joelteon> ok, but it doesn't show like
<joelteon> a progress bar
<devyn> I have no idea
<devyn> I don't even know how you could get a progress bar most of the time, given that tracking information usually doesn't include a list of future steps to be taken
<devyn> just a log of past events

<whitequark> hahaha
<whitequark> I bump into comments by that guy all the time (look at his link.)
<glowcoil> whitequark: http://prog21.dadgum.com/182.html
<glowcoil> devyn: geographic distance?
<glowcoil> :p
<devyn> glowcoil: that doesn't work. when I bought my MacBook, it got sent from Shenzhen to the Louisville, KY with several stops along the way, before getting sent back to BC with several stops in that direction too
<devyn> I wish I still had the tracking history... maybe I do
<devyn> damn, looks like UPS doesn't keep history
<devyn> it went from Shanghai to Narita to Anchorage at which point I was expecting it to just come straight south
<devyn> but no,
<devyn> it went to Louisville first
<devyn> and in a roundabout way came back
<devyn> lol
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> yeah i mean most progress bars aren't super predictive anyway :p
eligrey has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<glowcoil> but yeah i have experience with that
<glowcoil> :p
<devyn> glowcoil: clicky. it's a train PC
<glowcoil> lol ya

<devyn> ah! OpenCL is actually being worked on in the open source AMD driver ^_^
<devyn> makes me happy. want to get back to OpenCL programming but hate doing it on Windows
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE:
<glowcoil> man i have loads to do
<glowcoil> i want to do cool things instead
<glowcoil> but i have:
<devyn> glowcoil: learn OpeNCL
<devyn> OpenCL*
<glowcoil> survey of jazz midterm tomorrow
<glowcoil> i know a *tiny* bit if i remmeber
<glowcoil> physics midterm friday
<glowcoil> four backlogged physics assignents
<glowcoil> math and cs assginments due friday
<glowcoil> apply for housing
<glowcoil> apply for a research alb
<glowcoil> lab*
<glowcoil> apply for a different housing
<glowcoil> that's what i can think of right now
<glowcoil> excluding fucking retruning books to the library, vacuuming, buying more socks, etc.
<glowcoil> i wish there were something lower level than opencl :P
<glowcoil> at least that you could go further if you needed
<devyn> well, I'm not sure how flexible it is, but the open source OpenCL support for radeon that's in development is based on LLVM
<devyn> presumably you could hack that process
<devyn> OpenCL is really more like C though, and I don't just mean in syntax... it's not memory safe but it's architecture independent, so you get quite a bit of power
<devyn> glowcoil: you do end up usually having to develop different kernels though if you want to run on GPU and CPU devices... CPUs can take a bit of branching, but GPUs are so heavily SIMD that usually the best performance can be had by avoiding branching entirely if possible
<devyn> at least, from my own experience

<whitequark> hahahaha this UI is so awesome http://imgur.com/ccOrjYk
<whitequark> it's a screenshot from a 494-page manual for a cash register
<whitequark> four hundred and ninety four, yes
<whitequark> by the way, if you look at it and it doesn't make sense to you because it's in foreign language, that's fine
<whitequark> it's a foreign language for me as well
<whitequark> because most of those letter combinations are *not* russian

<glowcoil> whitequark: i can't see it being much better in a language i understand
<glowcoil> devyn: so less branching, more math
<whitequark> glowcoil: so you'll just give up and let it have absurd ui?
<glowcoil> whitequark: no i just mean, the fact that it's in a foreign language is only a part of why it's so confusing to me haha
<whitequark> seriously, that makes git look consistent and vim easily remembered
<whitequark> and I am *not* exaggerating
<whitequark> if something I'm belittling

<purr> Willox: hi!
<alexgordon> what about mojang
<Willox> they replied to my support email!
<Willox> so I got my account back and also tormented the youtuber who was using it
<Willox> http://i.imgur.com/HkDHZc2.png This is me joining his friend's server
<whitequark> contains no actual tormenting
<Willox> That image was not tormenting :(
<Willox> Tormenting was done over skype

<joelteon> so today my coworker's load average is 135.6
<whitequark> does he write 135.6 projects at once
<whitequark> what is a 0.6 of a project
<whitequark> you get bonus points if that value is in dBp
<joelteon> no
<joelteon> he's perf testing
<whitequark> does he perf test his os' scheduling algorithm
<joelteon> nah
<joelteon> well i suppose indirectly
<whitequark> well yeah, I wonder whether results are meaningful
