sylph_makoIt's clearly a game about the inevitable breakdown of romantic relationships formed by unrepentantly ugly manipulators.02:34
sylph_makoI wonder if the original author made it from experience of being the manipulator. That would tell a seriously affectingly bittersweet tale.02:35
sylph_makoThat they knew precisely what their problem was, well enough to put it into art- in a highly limited fledgeling art-form, no less. And yet, the nature of the illness would mean that they could not move beyond the cycle of aggressive breaking down of defenses, infiltration, being identified and harmed themselves, then the explosive end, and the emptiness that follows that.02:38

kanzurei wonder if i can dump my data into this13:07
brownieskanzure: have you tried it? what is it? how is it?13:12
chris_99i'd be very interested to know what algorithm they're using13:12
kanzurebrownies: it's awful so far. it suffers from a pretty standard "chicken and egg" problem.13:14
kanzureit would be better if the developer used it for himself for a while to build up data13:14
kanzureyour only option is to use the search feature where you can search by postal code or coordinates.. which of course will only display a list of search results with icons, which is completely worthless.13:14
kanzureand it looks like most people don't fill out their profile, so there's no way to figure out if some random search result is interesting or not13:15
browniesyeah, i see the same thing13:17
browniesnaturally, i also didn't fill out my porfiel13:17

kanzureeudoxia: i write a lot of it and i get paid to do so, but no.. javascript web development stuff is painful and infuriating14:21
kanzurecoffeescript makes it slightly less infuriating14:21
eudoxiause C++ programs through CGI :314:21
kanzurethat doesn't solve the same problems that javascript does for client-side stuff.14:22
kanzureCGI is a pretty bad idea for C++ web apps anyway.14:22
chris_99write a special webserver just for your app ;)14:23
eudoxiaor write a mod_[app] for apache14:23
eudoxiathat's basically all you can do from what I understand14:23
kanzureapache isn't the only web server option14:24
kanzure:(14:24
eudoxiaokay fine write modules for the other webservers14:24
kanzurewhat does this have to do with javascript/browser stuff?14:24
eudoxiaoh i don't know14:24
eudoxiawhat problems does javascript have for client side stuff?14:25
eudoxiajust for future ref14:25
kanzurebasically all the problems that javascript mvc frameworks solve14:26
kanzureor that underscore solves.14:26
kanzureand then there's the endless list of xss issues you need to be constantly aware of14:26
chris_99that's not necessarily a fault of JS though14:29

kanzurehmm. i want a obfuscated-js-to-coffeescript tool.16:01
chris_99would http://js2coffee.org/ work, dunno if it's any good though16:03
kanzurei've used that one before.16:08
kanzurebuut obfuscated js still looks obfuscated on the other end16:08
-!- EnLilaSko [~Nattzor@unaffiliated/enlilasko] has quit [Quit: - nbs-irc 2.39 - www.nbs-irc.net -]16:08
kanzurefor instance, if the obfuscator only uses the variable 'a', 'a' will still be present everywhere16:08
chris_99indeed, no way to fix that though is there?16:09
kanzuresure there is.. if you use a lexer you can just rename tokens as you go, as long as you are looking at scopes properly16:10
kanzure(unless variables are being used remotely, in which case you'd probably have to dump out a name lookup table wrapper thing)16:10
kanzuree.g. "a.b.c" becomes "a.lookup['b'].lookup['c']" if your fixer changes "a.b" to "a.beautiful"16:12
chris_99oh you mean you want to refactor the token names?16:12
kanzureyes16:12
kanzureunder what circumstance would "a" be a useful variable name?16:13
kanzureto me, i mean.16:13
chris_99wonder if theres an IDE to do that in, eclipse works well for refactoring java for instance16:13
kanzurefuck IDEs16:14
kanzureanselm getting poetic in da house: https://groups.google.com/forum/?noredirect=&fromgroups=#!msg/diybio/GxRTESzUWUI/IS-zLDlUu_YJ16:37
kanzure"Proteins don't "execute".  They fold and unfold.  They bounce into things a billion times a second.  They stick to things.  They unstick from things.  They wiggle, sometimes into new shapes depending on what's sticking to them or if they were tagged by other proteins. Sometimes they catalyze chemistry."16:38
kanzure"Let me reemphasize the point here.  Programmers can exist because WE built computers -explicitly- to support those abstraction layers."16:39
kanzure"The Wizards of EE formed a powerful magical convenant that protects all the gentle digital denizens from concerning themselves with the horrors of physical reality that lays sealed beneath the woven lithography.  It took them decades and a trillion dollars to build those magical seals."16:39
kanzure"In biology we haven't even begun to form powerful enough magic to seal away the chaos of physical reality. Over the next few decades we'll almost certainly rebuild simple microbial cells (piecemeal, haltingly, not all at once) with an increasingly modularized set of signaling components and metabolic cores whose behavior we'll have -evolved- to be isolated and predictable."16:39
kanzure"It will take bajillions of manhours to do that, and it will almost entirely be done by limited guesswork and brute-force screening (i.e. traditional engineering).  Only once we've untangled the gordian knot of the cell will we be able to construct these magical abstraction layers atop it....  and they'll probably be leaky layers at that.16:39
-!- jmil [~jmil@hive76/member/jmil] has quit [Quit: jmil]16:39
kanzure"Yes, but what -isn't- hackable?  Look, my gripe here is that cells are really -nothing- like a von neumann machine.  They're both nonlinear dynamical systems that happen to carry lots of "code" that controls their evolution in time."16:40
kanzure"That's the strongest similarity.  Cells deserve more than crappy metaphors to other kinds of systems.  If y'all really want to improve how we engineer cells, it's worth taking a few years to begin understanding how they really work."16:40
kanzure"As Bryan pointed out, SynBio suffered for a long time under the domination of a naive pack of EE/CS enthusiasts who couldn't pull the blinkers from their eyes to see that they weren't operating in the same kind of world anymore.  My recommendation to DiyBio enthusiasts is not to repeat their mistake."16:40
eudoxiaI have a stupid question16:41
kanzureyess?16:42
eudoxiawon't making proteins isolated, deterministic components affect their efficiency?16:42
-!- nsh [~nsh@host213-120-49-54.range213-120.btcentralplus.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]16:42
kanzurewhat do you mean by "making proteins isolated" ?16:42
kanzureprotein effiency varies by concentration of salts and all sorts of other compounds, and even temperature16:42
eudoxiaI mean, biology doesn't need components to be understandable because there's no-one to understand them, it just makes them go fast since nobody actually has (or had, until humanity came along) to read the blueprints and try to understand them16:42
eudoxia"...whose behavior we'll have -evolved- to be isolated and predictable"16:42
kanzurelook at the spec sheet for running reverse transcriptase pcr.. lotta specific conditions you have to hit to get the proteins to, you know, do their god damn jobs16:43
kanzureor even the regular kind of pcr (but it's somewhat of a simple protocol in comparison to the other crap going on inside cells)16:43
ParahSailin_amen16:44
kanzureParahSailin_: so the new plan is to join alcor and start a death metal band16:45
kanzurewe can do music videos next to all the corpsicles16:45
eudoxiayou can use the LN2 vapor as a smoke machine16:45
kanzurethat's the spirit!16:45
eudoxiaI feel so stupid every time I say liquid nitrogen vapor16:48
kanzurenah you're stating the origin16:48
kanzurelike "blood vapor"16:48

eudoxiaI guess that makes sense16:49
ParahSailin_liquid nitrogen explains why the vapor is cold enough to condense all the water out of the air16:51
eudoxiaI was going to reply with "but I thought it was the LN2 that was vaporizing" but then I realized it is colorless, and the opaque gray is water vapor16:52

kanzureskorket: i use adderall. others in here are somewhat more thoughtful in terms of their regiments, though.17:25
skorketkanzure, from that link you posted the other day, that guy reports having all the effects of riddlin (or was it adderall) from just over the counter vitamin supplements.  You find adderall to be pretty effective?17:28

yashgarothhe pays out the ass for it17:34
kanzureso now i just pay for it out of pocket17:34
kanzureyashgaroth: out the ass is relative17:34
yashgarothcompared to health insurance copays, but yeah17:35
kanzuremy last pickup the other day was $185 but i was at a new pharmacy.. the other sucky pharmacy i go to has been selling it at $240/mo.17:35
kanzurewell, it turns out that on my health insurance plan the copays would be higher than the actual cost, or something like that. i just don't care.17:35
ParahSailin_sr is cheaper than that17:43
