00:28:13 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Well if we use the dated meaning, then it becomes potentially complimentary
00:28:24 <hppavilion[1]> Probably because english doesn't use square brackets in words
00:28:54 <oerjan> i... don't think so.
00:29:04 <oerjan> pimp is not a compliment hth
00:29:21 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: It is in some circles
00:29:32 <hppavilion[1]> Or, at least, it's a positive-connotation verb
00:29:43 <hppavilion[1]> e.g. "Pimp My Ride"
00:30:03 <oerjan> the noun is not hth
00:30:30 <hppavilion[1]> And the origin of "pimp" is "Perhaps from Middle French pimpant ‎(“smart, sparkish”)."
00:30:42 <oerjan> i suppose Etymology 4 is fine.
00:30:53 <hppavilion[1]> "(African American Vernacular slang) A man who can easily attract women."
00:31:13 <hppavilion[1]> I suppose that one is good? Assuming that we don't consider that to be a douchebaggy trait to emphasize?

00:32:30 <hppavilion[1]> (This is one of the few contexts where "African American" is appropriate- when referring specifically to people of African descent living in the US)
00:32:32 <oerjan> sounds like one of those things which could get you an SJW internet lynching

00:34:08 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Some of the example sentences in OED referenced women, and others attributed jobs like "doctor" to men
00:34:10 <oerjan> exception, the aaronson one.
00:34:38 <hppavilion[1]> ("radical" had the example "A radical feminist" and most traditionally-male jobs used masculine pronouns)
00:34:41 <oerjan> well the OED is like ancient
00:35:05 <hppavilion[1]> I mean, their choices in example sentences may not be optimal, but it's not really important enough to get angry about
00:35:48 <oerjan> offensingularity
00:35:50 <hppavilion[1]> It's like if the constitution used "negro" to refer to blacks- it's not exactly what we would prefer, but it'd be too much trouble to change it for too little gain

01:03:49 <zzo38> The software "Astrolog" does not allow you to center a horoscope on the Moon. Other software may allow it I don't know; something based on Swiss Ephemeris may allow you to then subtract the numbers and convert to polar coordinates and therefore you can make the calculation relative to Moon. Neither of these software can calculate house positions relative to anything other than the Earth though. (If you select heliocentric mode in Astrolog, it stil

01:05:10 <hppavilion[1]> We have 5% employment at the ages of 70+
01:05:11 <zzo38> But house positions relative to Sun should be possible if you can know where is the zero longitude on the surface of the Sun. Do you know where the zero longitude of Sun is?

01:15:34 <shachaf> hppavilion[1]: I believe Norway encourages people to continue working after retirement.

01:29:00 <hppavilion[1]> In Zimbabwe, you don't have an employer
01:29:40 <zzo38> It would help to change their name to help to distinguish them, so that you will not confuse one with other, but in the correct contexts it can be clear. For Egyptian gods you can write "Isis" without capitalizing all of the letters, so that is not the problem.
01:30:08 <oerjan> in fact, i think your employment automatically expires then, unless you _explicitly_ get an agreement to continue. although my memory is not reliable on the details.
01:30:22 <oerjan> (in norway)
01:30:50 <pikhq> shachaf: Depends on the state actually.
01:32:00 <pikhq> ... And technically (but uselessly), they can only fire you for non-discriminatory reasons.
01:32:11 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:32:22 <pikhq> (but do not have to say why they're firing you)
01:32:22 <hppavilion[1]> pikhq: The general rule is that they can, unless the particular state says otherwise
01:32:42 <shachaf> pikhq: I said "for no reason, not "for any reason".
01:32:51 <pikhq> Ah, yes.
01:33:05 <hppavilion[1]> "Bammert v. Don's Super Valu, Inc., 646 N.W.2d 365 (Wis. 2002) the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that it was not contrary to public policy for an employer to dismiss an employee on grounds of her husband's drunk driving charge"
01:33:14 <pikhq> In most of the US but not all of it, it is literally legal to fire someone on the basis of "because".
01:33:39 <shachaf> And why not?
01:34:20 <shachaf> You might say: In some of the US, it is literally illegal to stop paying someone money unless you have good reason.

01:35:39 <shachaf> Anyway, I think California employment law is considered pretty employee-friendly in many ways.
01:35:45 <shachaf> But at-will employment is still standard here.
01:36:38 <pikhq> As with most things in labor relations, it's complicated, and any particular setup has pros and cons, and what's the best depends on a lot of things...
01:36:39 <oerjan> this is the kind of stuff that makes americans sound like space aliens to me.
01:37:03 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: WHO TOLD YOU THAT IT'S COMPLETELY WRONG
01:37:17 <oerjan> but then, lately norwegians do too so...
01:37:35 <shachaf> oerjan: What would be a less space-alien way of doing things?
01:37:38 <pikhq> Buuut, well. Employers tend to be bargaining from an incredibly advantageous position, that employees are not, and as such it can make sense to limit the power that an employer has over their employees.
01:38:07 <pikhq> Limiting reasons that an employer can dismiss an employee seems like reasonable in that light.
01:38:15 <oerjan> shachaf: actually trying to get a proper balance of power between employers and employees?
01:38:20 <hppavilion[1]> Personally, I think it makes the most sense to vaporize troublesome employees from orbit
01:39:25 <shachaf> That sounds good.
01:39:41 <oerjan> and also, employees actually cooperating in order not to get abused.
01:39:53 <oerjan> (aka unions)
01:40:08 <hppavilion[1]> We should scrap unions and use intersections instead
01:41:54 <zzo38> I think that some things that some things that employers would put in the contract to work should be prohibited, that both sides should be allowed to terminate employment at any time for any reason, and that minimum wage should be decreased to zero.
01:42:16 <oerjan> . o O ( stand here in the middle of this intersection until you agree to pay us properly )
01:43:13 <shachaf> zzo38: Why not decrease the minimum wage to a negative amount?
01:44:05 <oerjan> i think that zzo38 doesn't understand how power imbalance works.
01:44:35 <zzo38> Because it is not necessary and will not help. However, it can still be possible to lose money due to having to pay for parking and various other kind of services and products and so on. But the wages themself should not be allowed to be negative; the minimum should be zero.
01:44:50 * pikhq notes that oerjan is in a country without a minimum wage. :P
01:44:57 <oerjan> pikhq: heh
01:45:19 <pikhq> Though you're also in a country where unions are sufficiently strong that this is really a technicality.
01:46:11 <oerjan> yes. also we have a law (against "social dumping") which in certain cases allows enforcing union tariffs on non-unionized workers in an industry.
01:46:30 <oerjan> it's e.g. been used in construction

02:59:30 <pikhq> So they are.
02:59:36 <zzo38> It says right there, it is wood
02:59:57 <quintopia> shachaf: because i didn't know how much i could delete without it going somewhere else, so it's easier just to click the url shortener button
03:00:11 <shachaf> There's a canonical URL right in the page.
03:00:20 <shachaf> <link rel="canonical"
03:00:45 <quintopia> this concept of a canonical url is not one i'm familiar with
03:00:58 <quintopia> also the concept of a shortened url being rude in irc
03:01:26 <shachaf> A URL shortener is rude in IRC because it could lead to a shock site, for instance.
03:01:35 <pikhq> My browser doesn't seem fond of showing me the canonical URL.
03:01:55 <shachaf> Oh, well, I have a bookmarklet that takes me to the canonical URL for the current page.
03:01:55 <pikhq> Do you have an extension for that, shachaf?
03:02:04 <zzo38> I think that URL shortener should not be used unless the full URL is unusable for some reason.
03:02:08 <pikhq> Ah.
03:02:12 <quintopia> shachaf: that would imply linking to a shock site via shortened url is rude, not that shortened urls are rude in themselves
03:02:32 <shachaf> Well, linking to a shock site via any mechanism is rude.
03:02:32 <zzo38> (Independent of whether the URL shortening is posted on IRC or elsewhere)
03:02:40 <quintopia> true true
03:03:04 <shachaf> But a URL shortener, unnecessarily used, makes peoeple worry.
03:05:54 <pikhq> It'd be nice if browsers actually had an interface for rel=canonical, rather than needing a bookmarklet or extension.
03:06:11 <shachaf> I agree.
03:06:59 <zzo38> Possibly something can be done by use of userChrome.js or whatever, to apply the way to add a menu that will list all of the rel= links
03:08:07 <shachaf> Yes, adding some user chrome would solve pikhq's problem perfectly.
03:22:58 <hppavilion[1]> I prefer a link shortener where all links go directly to goatse

03:37:35 <oerjan> <quintopia> shachaf: that would imply linking to a shock site via shortened url is rude, not that shortened urls are rude in themselves <-- no, you need to think more meta: it is rude to link unnecessarily in such a way that it cannot be followed by someone with a personal policy not to click on links that aren't obviously non-shock sites.

03:49:21 * oerjan notes that wikipedia's featured article contains real life retirony
03:50:01 <shachaf> Irony about retirement?
03:50:10 <oerjan> it's a tvtrope
03:51:20 <oerjan> basically in any action movie, the life expectancy of any character drops badly if it is ever mentioned that they're just about to retire.
03:51:49 <hppavilion[1]> I'm never going to retire. Ever.
03:51:59 <oerjan> good plan.
03:53:20 * oerjan has the impression tvtropes has recently improved their site design. istr it went through a period it was pretty atrocious.
03:54:00 <oerjan> or maybe i'm confusing with wikia, which still is.
03:54:31 <pikhq> TVtropes hasn't *significantly* changed their site design at all.
03:54:32 <oerjan> *+when
03:54:37 <pikhq> I mean, it's changed, but not hugely.
03:58:33 <shachaf> oerjan: What if they mention that they've already retired?
03:58:42 <shachaf> And that they won't do their job maintaining the wisdom database?
03:58:55 <shachaf> What happens to their life expectancy then?
04:02:07 <oerjan> skyrocketing hth
04:02:34 <shachaf> how does swatting affect life expectancy
04:02:45 <oerjan> not much unless you're a fly
04:03:45 <shachaf> i've never known a fly to swat anything
04:07:07 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Retiring from minor roles on IRC can result in death, but only minor death on IRC
04:07:52 <hppavilion[1]> (relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1437/)
04:07:57 <oerjan> shachaf: they have some trouble holding the swatter
04:08:17 <shachaf> how is that relevant to anything
04:08:24 <shachaf> it's just a comic strip
04:08:44 <oerjan> shachaf: hover text
04:09:15 <oerjan> still, the relevance is pretty minor
04:09:16 <shachaf> you don't need to link to a comic strip for every thought you have
04:10:05 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Correct; only the ones for which there is a relevant xkcd
04:10:26 <hppavilion[1]> Just be glad I'm not the supernatural fandom
04:10:28 <shachaf> no, even if that comic strip has something vaguely related, you don't need to link to it
04:10:44 <oerjan> shachaf: i'd link a comic for that comment but i cannot find one
04:11:06 <oerjan> hm...
04:11:43 <shachaf> just don't
04:12:31 <oerjan> all i can find is this reddit link hth https://www.reddit.com/r/RelevantXKCD/comments/24duue/looking_for_an_xkcd_about_how_theres_always_a/
04:12:58 <shachaf> i'm not going to click on that
04:13:04 <shachaf> i asked you not to even do it
04:13:10 <oerjan> don't worry, they didn't actually find one.
04:13:30 <oerjan> well i didn't link to a comic.
04:13:40 <shachaf> is this some sort of cult of personality or what
04:13:48 <oerjan> what is
04:14:20 <oerjan> well the subreddit is of course about how there's always a relevant xkcd.
04:14:29 <shachaf> the whole phenomenon
04:14:55 <shachaf> every time someone talks about sql injection someone links to that annoying bobby comic
04:14:55 <oerjan> yeah
04:15:34 <shachaf> as if that comic invented sql injection
04:15:34 <oerjan> . o O ( is there an xkcd comic about people getting tired of memes )

04:23:01 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: That's what I was looking for
04:23:07 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: There's the meme density one?

05:07:05 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: What about nilgraphs?
05:07:08 <oerjan> besides you are mixing greek and latin again
05:07:22 <shachaf> oerjan: That's OK, English mixes Greek and Latin all the time.
05:07:27 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: "hexadecimal"

23:50:41 * oerjan just _knows_ he'll get that one back.
23:50:51 <oerjan> (karmically)
23:52:03 <izabera> most systems have a max level of scripts they can run with a shebang
23:52:14 <izabera> at some point the kernel just returns ELOOP
23:52:23 <izabera> i just realized you can bypass this with /usr/bin/env
23:53:05 <oerjan> hm that reminds me
23:53:23 <oerjan> does HackEgo support running scripts as #! interpreters
23:53:30 <izabera> sure
23:53:43 <oerjan> hm that makes an idea i had much easier.
23:54:21 <oerjan> `cat bin/*input
23:54:32 <oerjan> buh
23:54:43 <HackEgo> cat: bin/*input: No such file or directory
23:54:46 <oerjan> `` cat bin/print*
23:54:52 <HackEgo> ​#!/bin/bash \ if [ "$#" -gt 0 ]; then printf '%s\n' "$*"; else cat; fi
23:55:06 <oerjan> i wanted to make a version of that can be used as a #!
23:55:21 <izabera> else cat "$@"
23:55:32 <oerjan> no
23:55:33 <izabera> but then $# will never be 0
23:55:51 <oerjan> exactly
23:56:04 <izabera> add shift at the beginning
23:56:12 <oerjan> not quite
23:56:17 <izabera> y u no shift
23:56:28 <oerjan> well ok but i need to save what's shifted first
23:56:30 <oerjan> lessee
23:56:44 <izabera> var=$1; bro do you even shift
23:57:15 <oerjan> well ok just need to find out where the args go
23:57:25 <oerjan> `` ls bin/print*
23:57:29 <HackEgo> bin/print_args_or_input
23:58:06 <oerjan> and what to call the modified script
23:59:13 <oerjan> maybe just shebang_args_or_input
23:59:41 <oerjan> so it would be like #!/hackenv/bin/shebang_args_or_input python
