<philor> fortunately for you, my goal is the same as everyone else's, stuff as much into there as possible with no thought to the consequences, so I'm about to reopen it despite the broken new slaves and the unexplained failures to build the thing that's what we ship

<bz> So I've been measuring delay from brrrrrring to ring

<Callek> (I forget if clouser is mike's boss or vice versa fwiw)

<nigelb> haha

<WillPittenger> azbyin: Soon they'll remove the ability of Firefox to download unencrypted pages.
<Mardeg> WillPittenger: you know nightlies are already blocking mixed active content on secure pages?
<WillPittenger> No.
<Mardeg> security.mixed_content.block_active_content
* WillPittenger thinks that Mardeg has memorized the name and meaning of every single pref name that has ever existed along with how to set that pref from the UI.
<Mardeg> no. I only remember enough to get them to show up in an about:config search
<WillPittenger> And Mardeg can compute PI to 100 significant decimal places in his head.
<Mardeg> only 8
<Mardeg> and that's by using an estimation fraction
<azbyin> 22/7
<Mardeg> (2143/22)^(1/4)
<azbyin> ah a better one
<Mardeg> 22/7 only gets you 1/4 of the decimal places as that one
<Mardeg> 2143 is an easy pattern to remember (counting up even/odd/even/odd)
<Mardeg> and 22 is already famous from 22/7
<Mardeg> I picture a teacher writing 22/7 on a blackboard, and a child erasing the /7 then writing 2143/ above it, then the parentheses and 1/4
<Mardeg> some people use other mental gimmicks to remember more digits of Pi
<azbyin> yeah and that gets them what exactly? reduces the error but that assumes they are able to do such a multiplication in their head too heh
<Mardeg> the radius of the Universe measured with an accuracy down to the Planck length only needs 62 digits of Pi
<Mardeg> it's still expanding, so I guess you'll need an extra digit every time it gets 10 times bigger
<WillPittenger> azbyin: If Mardeg is a /Blade Runner/ android, how long does he have before he goes "poof"?
<Mardeg> What'd you call me?

<jlebar> it does fix vingtetun's testcase.
<bent> jlebar, out of curiosity... why are you writing this code?
<jlebar> bent: because it has to be done today, and France is done for the day.
<bent> oh, that french work ethic i hear so much about ;)
<jlebar> bent: I think it may have more to do with that round earth you keep hearing so much about, but hard to say which.
<bent> that's a myth
<bz> bent: we have photographic evidence
<bent> like the moon landing?
<bz> Well, also a bunch of shuttle flights and stuff. ;)
<bent> uh huh
<bz> And in fact you can see the curvature from high enough planes
<bz> Of course those are mostly military.
<bz> And you know the military is making up their existence.
<bz> I mean have _you_ ever been up in an SR-71?

<dcamp> jwalker: I see no possible shortcut.
<Benvie> the shortcut is you get dcamp to complain to himself about himself and then he shortcircuits and explodes
<dcamp> I basically already did that.
<jwalker> excellent. i just caught dcamp complaining about me complaining about dcamp complaining about victor not complaining about dcamp complaining
<dcamp> that wasn't a complaint!
<victorporof> complaining ^

* nmatsakis wonders why he is bothering to think about this. It seems like the def'n of "ship has sailed" in some sense.
<jclements> this dead cat is a ship that has sailed. We're sailing in a dead cat.
<graydon> jclements: but crucially: _has it left the barn yet_?
<graydon> if you've sailed the dead cat (or dead horse) out of the barn, I think maybe it's time to put it to .. bed?
<graydon> mixed metaphors ahoy
<jclements> I, for one, have no plans to share *my* bed with a sailing skinned cat/horse. I'm sure my wife would agree.
