00:00:08 <pikhq> The Bay Area is expensive as shit when most possible employers see lack of degree and stop talking to you.
00:00:22 <shachaf> pikhq: Is that actually true?
00:00:32 <pikhq> That at least *appears* to be the case.
00:00:35 <shachaf> Even with Google experience?
00:01:03 <pikhq> I can't say for sure because I don't know for sure why I've had so much trouble, but that's what I'm inferring.
00:01:16 <shachaf> What approach have you been using?
00:01:32 <oerjan> fizzie: maybe try that list, and we can see how much it helps.
00:02:13 <pikhq> Finding people, sending resumes, along with talking to recruiters, etc. Mostly I've been getting interviews that seem to go well and then get turned down.
00:02:51 <pikhq> Often shortly after they ask about details of my college education.
00:03:40 <pikhq> I mean, granted I don't know for sure that's what's doing it, but... it sure seems to be the case.
00:05:48 <fizzie> oerjan: I will try to see if there's a reasonably low-effort way to do it with the setup we have. As for the emergency shutdown, I'm not sure how to implement that. I know there's a bunch of relatively stable and well-supported/updated access control style extensions that could maybe be retrofitted to do it.

04:14:37 <quintopia> did you read that book about the scottish cryptid hunters mauled by the asbestos-furred beast against which their fire defense was useless?
04:15:25 * oerjan starts realizing _what_ quintopia is helping with...
04:15:29 <quintopia> The Unlightable Bear-Being of Ness?
04:16:36 <quintopia> (i *think* spoonerisms count as puns still)
04:19:56 <oerjan> maybe. it's a bit of knife-edge.
04:20:24 <oerjan> why must muphry's law apply to puns
04:23:35 <quintopia> i really like that one tho. dunno if it would make any sense in norway tho
04:25:27 <oerjan> the book is called "Tilværelsens uutholdelige letthet" in norwegian. it might need a bit of rethinking...
04:27:22 <oerjan> the only animal in there is "vær" which means ram.
04:28:06 <quintopia> give up. even you cannot surmount it.
04:30:36 <oerjan> some linguistic porthellos, oren's irc script calculator...
04:32:59 <oerjan> (/ctcp \oren\ VERSION)
04:33:32 <oerjan> there were some other commands too, which i've forgotten.
04:33:55 <quintopia> sad i missed todays porthellos. what were they?
04:34:18 <oerjan> i was assuming you'd been gone for a while.
04:34:29 <oerjan> but boily hasn't been on yet.

04:35:39 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: not particularly.
04:36:16 <oerjan> but in our ever-ongoing quest to think of new ones, boily and i started looking up other languages
04:37:00 <oerjan> which we have to guess
04:52:05 <\oren\> I have too many spacecraft doing stuff at once

04:56:15 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
04:56:31 <\oren\> no casualties so far, but there's like 13 tourists on various spacecraft so it's only a matter of time
04:57:30 <oerjan> 13 tourists is bad luck
05:02:20 <\oren\> yeah counted them. 13 tourists, on four different tour craft...
05:08:40 <\oren\> If I can land this craft successfully, there will only be nine
05:10:39 <oerjan> . o O ( And then there were nine )
05:11:32 <oerjan> \oren\: also if unsuccessfully hth
05:17:29 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Bah! Everyone knows that if you HAVE to have 13 people in separate groups you should at least divide them evenly among the groups or the luck becomes 13x worse!

05:50:11 <zzo38> Can you explain this question? "If I have a Ouija board in my house, but I only use it at other properties, will my house still be whatever you people say it truly is?"
05:55:41 <oerjan> i think you should ask in the other kind of #esoteric hth
05:57:52 <oerjan> my hunch is, though, that it relates to some superstition about divination affecting houses where they are performed, but i have not heard that so i don't even know if it's supposed to be good or bad
05:58:20 <oerjan> and that might very well depend on who you ask. i'd expect christians to think it's bad and new agers to think it's good...
05:59:46 <oerjan> (the former because divination might be seen as magic or devil worship)
06:00:40 <oerjan> and the question presumably asks whether whatever the effect is happens even if the ouija board is only stored in the house.
06:03:08 <zzo38> (The question was posted on an article about a kind of ouija board in QWERTY order, and mentioning ideomotor effect, and that you might use a computer on-screen keyboard with hover mode. The people who wrote this article are not occult.)
06:04:12 <\oren\> Landing sucessful! nothing exploded
06:04:35 <oerjan> ic. i think the questioner may have been confused by the article and thought it _was_ about something occult, then.
06:07:33 <\oren\> we got almost a million funds from these tourists for bringing them home from the Mun safely
06:08:34 <oerjan> or perhaps there was a different comment that was, and which it was responding to.
06:09:07 <oerjan> \oren\: money from munatics
06:11:55 <\oren\> the great thing about his is that the vehicle was an SSTO and therefore we barely spent any money to get them ther and back
06:35:43 <zzo38> oerjan: That was the first comment.
06:36:34 <oerjan> zzo38: maybe it was to a deleted comment. (just theorizing here...)
06:40:50 <zzo38> I have not checked the history, but even so they could have deleted it from the history too.

15:40:21 <Taneb> I made a maths joke, I'm afraid
15:40:32 <Taneb> What do you call a sporadic group which lives in the Republic of Ireland?

15:45:42 -!- DHeadshot has joined.
15:50:58 <int-e> I wonder how well known the provinces of Ireland are (I don't even recognize their names)
15:56:27 <alercah> Taneb: Dr. Stravinsky was a bit of an eccentric fellow, even for a pure mathematics professor.
15:57:02 <alercah> But he was nonetheless a good friend to have, because of his extensive personal library, full of rare and exotic mathematical texts.
15:57:46 <alercah> He was an expert curator, and his thousands of books were maintained in meticulous order; he was always able to find any book almost instantly.
15:59:08 <alercah> But the department chair had an issue with him: he hadn't fulfilled his mandatory service to the university in quite some time.
16:00:23 <alercah> Eventually, Dr. Stravinsky was called into the chair's office, and she said "You are required to put in service hours, so if you won't find something to do, I will. I've arranged for you to go down to the library and help them catalogue their books. This should be right up your alley."
16:00:45 <alercah> Realizing that his job was on the line, Dr. Stravinsky begrudgingly went over to the library to work.
16:00:51 <alercah> One week later, he was in the chair's office again.
16:00:54 <gamemanj> I'm guessing nobody in the library found any books.
16:01:52 <alercah> "The library tells me that you're useless sorting! How is it that you have a meticulously arranged personal library, yet when you go to the university library, you don't even seem to know where to start?"
16:02:06 <alercah> Dr. Stravinsky just replied, "I can only order well when given the choice!"
16:02:19 <izabera> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanks'_square_forms_factorization in this algorithm, how do i choose k?
16:02:36 <Taneb> If I knew how to make a squinty face smiley I would
16:02:41 <Taneb> Also, good joke :D
16:03:52 <gamemanj> I don't get the joke, but TBH I'm still trying to resolve the ambiguity of the word "choice".
16:03:58 <gamemanj> It could be the choice (of how to sort the books)
16:04:07 <gamemanj> or the choice (to sort the books)
16:04:24 <Taneb> gamemanj, the latter, also the axiom
16:05:51 <int-e> izabera: "[...] a small multiplier k. [...] Otherwise try another value of k." ... sounds to me like you start from 1 and increment until you're successful or give up
16:06:34 <alercah> gamemanj: it doesn't really matter. the pun is on the axiom of choice
16:06:45 <alercah> and its equivalence with the well-ordering principle
16:07:15 <gamemanj> but you see, I'm not exactly a maths person
16:07:34 <gamemanj> I'm a "why on earth did Wikipedia write all these expressions in this weird notation, when it makes so much more sense in code form" person
16:11:42 -!- `^_^v has joined.
16:19:09 <int-e> izabera: I have no idea. How does this compare to Pollard's rho method? (which is exprected to take O(sqrt(p)) steps where p is the smallest prime factor of N, so O(N^(1/4)) as well)
16:19:44 <int-e> But I don't have time for this right now.
16:19:47 <izabera> people on mathoverflow say that squfof is faster up to 64 bit
16:20:13 <izabera> https://mathoverflow.net/questions/114018/fastest-way-to-factor-integers-260
16:20:20 <izabera> actually they said 60 bits
16:20:59 <int-e> but in that case I guess you simply never give up
16:21:30 <int-e> (you should do primality tests in advance, of course, to avoid factoring primes)
