kanzurethe comments on http://avc.com/2014/10/sidechains/ get a little curious... "well since developers wont be able to trick users into financial vaporware as much, they wont be as incentivized to not care about bitcoin and this is bad" wut?06:55
justanotheruser" but computers have too few sources of truly random data for the demands we place upon them"06:58

kanzure"Given the messy implementation, adding functionality either causes new bugs that nobody wants to fix or it adds cruft that I won't be able to understand two weeks later because there's already so much cruft that mostly works but without any regards to the bigger picture. (Also, there is not much of a bigger picture, it's hacks all the way down (and maybe even up). Imagine a house that is hold together by the corpses in the drywall.)"08:21

kanzurehow do you know whether or not to pull or rebuild a vagrant box (or docker container for that matter) when you switch to a different git branch on a project? assume that you had a previous vagrant box that was built from a previous branch correctly.08:33

kanzurei was hoping for some more automated solution08:38
kanzurefor example, in rails land, developers came up with some nifty scripts to automatically switch out databases between branches so that schema changes in one branch don't impact your work on another.08:39

fennhuh. "dev/random provides random numbers by directly hashing the internal entropy pool. Each use of /dev/random depletes the data available, and if the entropy sources cannot deliver sufficient data, your request to read /dev/random will block - it will wait until more entropy is available."15:35
chris_99what's odd about that?15:36
nmz787_i1hmm15:36
nmz787_i1ddos waiting to happen somewhere?15:36
fenn"urandom does exactly the same as /dev/random, except that when the entropy pool is close to exhaustion it will instead start to deliver data from a software device, a PRNG that has been seeded from 'good' random data."15:36
chris_99you can cat stuff to /dev/random iirc15:37
chris_99to help it15:37
fennas mentioned earlier up the page, most servers don't have keyboards or mice, so their entropy pool must be constantly starved for randomness15:38

fenn3D printing in zero G, is that really a challenge15:47
jackybgoodFor my interests it is.15:48
fennwhat about 3D printing upside down, or in stormy seas15:48
jackybgoodThey can print in gels to keep it steady15:49
fennyeah i saw that15:49
jackybgoodThey need 3d printing in space. I'm just trying to do it differently15:50
fenntwo photon laser cure gel would be a thing...15:50
jackybgoodI'm looking into it now15:51
fennit doesnt exist yet15:51
fenni hereby bequeath this potentially infinitely valuable idea unto thee, jackybgood15:51
jackybgoodBut there has to have been something written about it, right?15:51
jackybgoodHow would you do it15:52
fennwell, two photon absorption boosts the apparent energy per photon, so you need to use a laser of about twice the wavelength you would normally use to cure your resin15:52
jackybgoodIs resin in space a good idea?15:53
fennit also requires a lot more power since only a fraction of incident photons are absorbed twice before being released15:53
jackybgoodI see it as more of a safety hazard. So you would be using twice as much power to do 3d printing with 2 photon laser curing?15:54
fennfree liquids can be managed fairly effectively through surface tension and clever container design15:54
fennmore than twice as much power15:54
jackybgoodWhich would make it more expensive15:55
fennyes, but, you could print free floating structures at extremely high resolution15:55
jackybgoodI don't think NASA wants to spend that much more out of their budget, but I'll try and figure it out.15:56
fennoh are you actually working on 3d printers for space?15:56
jackybgoodNot yet. I'm about to go into college :P15:56
jackybgoodBut I want to15:57
fennwell a lot can change in 4 years15:57

chris_99don't mice already have teeth?16:09
fennno they implanted a tooth-shaped scaffold seeded with osteoblasts and something like stem cells(?) into a mouse's back, which hardened over the course of several months, then they took it out of the mouse's belly and implanted it into its jaw16:09

fennso you were interested in making polymers with bacteria or what?16:15
jackybgoodSpecifically, I would be trying to use Martian or Moon soils to 3d print structures and objects16:16
fennwhere does synthetic biology come into that16:16
jackybgoodThis is a fairly brand new, uneducated plan I've had for about a week16:17
fenngenehacker and i were just talking about the freitas lunar replicating factory, molten oxide electrolysis, toth-fejel mechanical replicator, dna origami computational tiling16:17
jackybgoodHaven't heard of any of that before16:18
jackybgoodI was thinking I could print using electrospinning in microgravity16:19
fennelectrospinning is pretty low resolution16:19
fennalso, the moon and mars aren't microgravity16:20
jackybgoodI suppose I was assuming the astronauts would be printing in orbit, for repairing equipment with soils they pick up along the way. Doesn't make as much sense now.16:21
jackybgoodThey'd be printing on the ground, probably. They still need to print objects that don't always have the best balance, so printing while keeping the object extremely still is crucial16:22
jackybgoodI thought electrospinning was very high res, at least for 3d printing?16:22
fennjackybgood: at least skim over these http://www.rfreitas.com/Astro/GrowingLunarFactory1981.htm http://www.islandone.org/MMSG/aasm/ http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/final_report/883Toth-Fejel.pdf http://www.dna.caltech.edu/Papers/origami_nucleation2009.pdf16:26

fennanyway drugs do more than just interact with receptors16:56
jackybgoodRight there are many protocols that come into play, and I'm trying to map them out16:57
fenni'm not really sure what counts as a drug either; apparently concentrated fish oil is a drug16:58

fennwhat if you're naturally allergic to interleukin-a or whatever the target is17:00
Lemminkainenif you're naturally allergic to IL-A(?) then I'd say you probably got bigger problems to worry about17:00
fenn"FDA has stated that it has not determined how interchangeability can be established for complex proteins" so that could be a reason, since they can't verify that it's safe if they don't know what it is17:01

jackybgoodThey might buy it17:09
fennmy religious practice is to rub deer antler velvet all over my body17:12
jackybgoodThe purpose being...?17:12
fennsupposedly it's full of growth factors such as IGF-1 (nevermind that deer are a different species)17:13
jackybgoodThat's disturbing17:16
fennIGF-1 has been studied for improving repair of connective tissue (cartilage, tendons, muscles) and since deer antler velvet contains this protein, hucksters have developed an industry around it. but IGF-1 is a protein and can't survive the digestion process, and won't get into your blood just by spraying it on17:17
fennit probably does have testosterone and other deer hormones in it though17:17
jackybgoodSo my dad should stop spraying his face with deer urine every time he goes hunting?17:18
fennwhatever gets your rocks off17:19
jackybgoodGross. Knowing a bit of biology can really help17:20
Lemminkainenfenn you should try taking your velvet rectally for maximal absorption17:23
fenni'll keep that in mind. also i'll try to get it as fresh as possible, assuming the deer cooperates17:30
fennknowing a bit of biology can really help!17:30
Lemminkainenmight help to administer it in an Everclear extraction17:32
fenndo i administer the everclear to the deer or to myself?17:33
fennor both?17:33
jrayhawk_I don't think IGF-1 digestion has been studied with an awareness of intestinal permeability or gut floral metabolism, so we may have some surprises.17:33
fennjrayhawk_: since deer are a different species it seems unlikely that their IGF-1 would have any effect on humans17:34
jrayhawk_beats me17:34
Lemminkainenboth17:34
Lemminkainenif you want more IGF-1, though, exercise strenuously and then eat a few croissants17:35
Lemminkainenprobably more effective than deer antlers17:35
jrayhawk_croissants would just do insulin, not IGF-1. Large protein boluses are the way to go for IGF-1.17:36

nmz787also "photoresist gel" is a thing on google scholar19:00
nmz787I imagine that your lower limit of resolution would increase though if you added gelling polymers19:00
fennwhy19:00
nmz787there's photo-active PDMS, which has polymers19:01
nmz787well because the polymers to gellify will be much longer than the photoresist -mers19:01
nmz787so for a given volume that was activated, there will be lots of looping out of the activated area of the long polymers19:01
fenndo you mean there will be better or worse resolution?19:02
nmz787the effect may be negligible at macro scale19:02
nmz787worse19:02
nmz787minimum pixel size will increase19:02
nmz787seems like you'd also have a lot more surface area19:02
nmz787so you could get some metamaterial effects19:02
nmz787like shit always wanting to stick to it or it always being moist or something19:03
fennhow long are individual polymers19:03
nmz787(that's off the top of my head so totally not researched well)19:03
nmz787PEG for example comes in prob a few orders of magnitude length variants19:03
fennnot longer than a micron though?19:03
fenni could see phonon conduction being a problem i guess, but an individual polymer chain won't normally be bonded to the resin around it19:05
fennit would just be floating around, and when you rinse the resin off there's nothing keeping it bound to your structure19:05
nmz787idk the exact length19:06
nmz787but you also have a spaghetti/ball-of-string effect19:06
fenna good gelling agent would disperse itself19:06
fennlike starch is less viscous than methylcellulose because it's in a ball19:07
nmz787but again, the effect may not be noticeable until you start looking at the nanoeffects19:07
nmz787I think starch is miniscule compared to like PEG-800019:08
fennwhat's the texture of that like?19:08
fenn"carbowax"19:08

nmz787they sell it at the drug store as laxative powder for example19:10
nmz787powdery is a texture, no?19:10

justanotheruserfenn: also, this guy used a milling machine it seems23:20
justanotheruserhttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a53/dcorson/WN1/image014.jpg23:20
nmz787in fact, there's an app for that23:20
justanotheruserhttp://web.ticino.com/dcorson/watch/WatchNet-1_files/WN1.htm23:20
nmz787justanotheruser: well that says he used existing gears, doesn't it?23:23
fenni wonder if those holes are supposed to be collinear23:23
nmz787"This first project is to take the wheels from a standard calibre, an ETA2824-2, and make the rest of the watch myself"23:23
justanotherusernmz787: yeah, the modeling is based on the gears.23:24
justanotheruserI guess I wasn't cclear23:24
justanotheruserAlso, I will probably have to design it independent of that design with my own gears I buy23:25
genehackerfreecad still uses opencascade and opencascade sucks23:27
genehackerwait what23:28
genehackeryou want to model gears meshing?23:28
genehackerwhy would you want to do that?23:28
nmz787genehacker: tell that to kanzure23:28
nmz787genehacker: but also, i did read something that was somewhat convincing... but I can't find the reference23:29
nmz787it was some image showing lines that were supposed to meet, i think... and it was occ vs cgal23:29
nmz787and the cgal version, to me, looked crappier23:29
genehackerif it's a low power application the deformation of your gears will be practically nothing23:29
nmz787but the caption seemed to say the opposite23:29
genehackersome of my colleagues did the same comparison with occ and industrially available cad kernals23:30
genehacker*kernel23:31

nmz787what sucked about it comparatively?23:31
genehackersome of the more advanced operations23:31
fennit crashes constantly23:32
genehackerlike blending23:32
fennboolean intersections and sweeps often result in non manifold geometry23:32
nmz787fenn: that's why I compiled, so maybe I can catch things and report them more easily (debugging symbols)23:32
nmz787fenn: and does that not happen with openscad?23:33
fennno23:33
genehackeropenscad is only doing csg23:33
fennopenscad doesn't seem to generate non-manifold, and i've never had it crash23:33
genehackercsg is old school cad23:33
nmz787(i mean non-manifold as a result)23:33
fennthey're really completely different beasts23:34
-!- ebowden [~ebowden@147.69.54.84] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]23:34
genehackerbut if someone would just put a bunch of money into improving opencascade or buying out a major cad kernel to make it opensource the world would be a much better place23:35
-!- Vutral [~ss@mirbsd/special/Vutral] has joined ##hplusroadmap23:35
fennthe problem with OCC is it's layers and layers and layers of multiple generations of development teams adding onto stuff they didn't understand23:35
fennsomething like 30,000 classes23:35
genehackerthough if you want to play around with some of the big fun industrial cad kernels, often times  all you need  is a  dll file23:36
genehackerand some documentation which is online for free23:36
genehackerDLL file can be downloaded as part of demo for some cad softwares23:36
fennthat doesn't make it open source23:36
fennit does provide a starting point for developing an API though23:37
nmz787heh, I have a file that was in freecad src with 419613 lines in it23:37
-!- ebowden [~ebowden@147.69.54.84] has joined ##hplusroadmap23:37
genehackerit's free as in beer and if you're clever you could write something as good as solidworks23:37
fenni'm pretty sure that would be against any EULA23:39
fennand it's easier to just download solidworks from a pirate23:39
fennnot that solidworks is the end-all be-all of cad software...23:40
nmz787is that your al capone impression of saying euler?23:40
nmz787'oila, see'23:40
genehacker*this software requires a legally licensed copy of the parasolid cad kernl in order to work23:40
genehacker*please download cadconverter4050 2.0 which comes with a legal copy of the parasolid cad kernel in order to use this software23:41
fenngenehacker i'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with this scheme23:42
fennyou end up with something vaguely legal that nobody can improve upon23:42
genehackerguess so, but it will work better than opencascade23:42
nmz787"Most Parasolid files can communicate and migrate only 3D solids and/or surface data - Parasolid files currently cannot communicate and migrate 2D data such as lines and arcs."23:43
nmz787"To use Parasolid effectively, users need to have fundamental knowledge of CAGD, computational geometry and topology."23:43
nmz787'ain\'t nobody got time for that'23:43
fennwhat's CAGD23:43
nmz787it redirects to CAD on wiki23:44
genehackeroh come on if you're familiar with opencascade it's not that hard23:44
nmz787http://www.acronymfinder.com/CADG.html has nothing23:44
* nmz787 is doing CAD at work now23:44
* nmz787 'lectrical though23:44
genehackercomputer aided geometric design23:45
nmz787'Chat About Depression Glass (web forum)'23:45
genehackerand I do MAD at work now23:45
nmz787that must be CADG23:45
nmz787Molecular Aided Drafting?23:45
genehackeroops that doesn't really work out23:45
fenni guess this is talking about implicit geometry vs explicit nurbsy things23:45
genehackerunless you consider caffeine a molecule23:46
nmz787we should just keep layering sine waves to make these shapes23:46
nmz787that would make things simple :P23:46
genehackerwhy not voxels23:46
genehackereveryone loves minecraft23:47
nmz787yo dawg, I heard you like complex shit, so I put a sine wave on your sine wave so it can interfere while it constructifies23:47
nmz787isn't blender essentially just that?23:47
genehackercan you put in blocks like minecraft?23:48
nmz787I might end up just setting a voxel to be half-an-angstrom and get a new USB3 HDD23:48
fennare you talking about catmull-rom surface refinement?23:48
nmz787my cat sleeps outside23:48
fennderp, nevermind23:48
fennblender does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdivision_surface23:49
genehackeryou can also do this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_Manufacturing_File_Format#Optional_curved_triangles23:50
* nmz787 is building a serial mouse23:50
fenncurved triangles, that's new23:50
genehackernot a space mouse?23:52
genehackerunfortunately it's a couple years old23:52
genehackerand no one seems to be using it23:52
nmz787hmm, the huge mesh seems less prone to crashing or something23:53
nmz787are they sparse at least?23:53
fennis what sparse?23:54
nmz787'my CAD model is for an object I'm fabricating in a vacuum chamber... no, really... there aren't actually atoms there, so I don't want to store the data'23:54
fenn'the original curved triangle is ultimately replaced by 1024 flat triangles. These 1024 triangles are generated "on the fly"'23:55
Lemminkainenfenn are you a nurb?23:56
fennhas everyone gone mad23:56
nmz787wouldn't we be lots of NURBS23:57
nmz787.ud nurb23:57
nmz787'Ganxsta: a person who talks shit about someone behind their back and sucks up to them to their face. Also spends all day inside on the computer or playing video games.'23:58
nmz787I don't think that applies23:58
Lemminkainennot quite, do you live in a jellyfish house?23:58
fennjellyfish have houses?23:58
nmz787heh, 'NURBS. Non Useful Ridiculous Bull Shit'23:58
nmz787I wonder if those pet jellyfish are for sale23:59
Lemminkainenah, nevermind fenn you haven't had the Big Aha yet23:59
fenni do admire hyperia galba23:59
nmz787they are...23:59
