| DaemonFC[m] | ExFAT is actually worse than FAT32 for my use case. A bunch of WavPack files. All ExFAT brings to the table is more wasted cluster space. | Jun 24 00:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was laughing pretty hard when I bought a new 256 GB USB on the go stick and it was FAT32. | Jun 24 00:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | So innocent. | Jun 24 04:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We're having our worst days for new cases since April again and nobody really even seems to care at this point. | Jun 24 04:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Things are, in fact, getting much worse, and we're going to see a big uptick in deaths again soon. | Jun 24 04:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The shutdown was mitigating it and the reopenings are like a dam burst. | Jun 24 04:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I told my doctor I'll go get my labs drawn when I feel realatively safe going outside again, and hopefully that will be between 3 and 6 months from now. | Jun 24 04:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | *relatively | Jun 24 04:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There will be about 3.2 million more confirmed cases within the next 90 days at this point and they think we're hearing about maybe 15% of what's out there. | Jun 24 04:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I joked with my psychiatrist that the virus solved a number of problems for us. | Jun 24 05:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He asked how. I said "Well, I filed bankruptcy with the stimulus check, and since I had to shave my head anyway to avoid the barber shop, the medicine that was making it fall out is a moot point.". | Jun 24 05:05 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: did you see number of new cases? | Jun 24 05:07 |
| schestowitz | in the past 3 days? | Jun 24 05:07 |
| schestowitz | almost 100k in three days | Jun 24 05:07 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, Florida is toast. | Jun 24 05:08 |
| schestowitz | 36,000 today | Jun 24 05:08 |
| schestowitz | was 25k | Jun 24 05:08 |
| schestowitz | then 30k | Jun 24 05:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm glad that I'm about 1,500 miles from it. | Jun 24 05:08 |
| schestowitz | today was 35k before midnight | Jun 24 05:08 |
| schestowitz | last I checked, gmt, it was 36k | Jun 24 05:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Just let it burn out of control for a while I guess. | Jun 24 05:08 |
| schestowitz | which might be a new record, I did not check the timed chart | Jun 24 05:08 |
| schestowitz | 35k is 'small' | Jun 24 05:09 |
| schestowitz | wait until 10 million get it | Jun 24 05:09 |
| schestowitz | or 100 million | Jun 24 05:09 |
| schestowitz | and then you magnify deaths by orders of magnitude and hospitals cannot keep up | Jun 24 05:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, people are laughing about it and repeating Trump's bullshit that it has a 98% survival rate so shit happens. | Jun 24 05:09 |
| schestowitz | Merkel (de) estimated back in April 70% of people will have it | Jun 24 05:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which must be fantastic if you're not part of the 2%. | Jun 24 05:09 |
| schestowitz | so they need to pace the spread down | Jun 24 05:09 |
| schestowitz | or find some cure, reuse plasma with antibodies etc. | Jun 24 05:10 |
| schestowitz | more like 91% | Jun 24 05:10 |
| schestowitz | depending on the age of the infected and location | Jun 24 05:11 |
| schestowitz | 5,041,958 (91%) | Jun 24 05:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | More likely, it'll fucking trash the economy, kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, and then become endemic while the drug companies guzzle taxpayer money for drugs like Remdesivir. Hey, it may be expensive, but at least there's no evidence that it works. | Jun 24 05:11 |

| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: rent 'pardon' is over soon | Jun 24 05:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But the government wants you to go shopping. | Jun 24 05:12 |
| schestowitz | people will become homeless | Jun 24 05:12 |
| schestowitz | evicted for not paying rent | Jun 24 05:12 |
| schestowitz | there's no solution to it, there will be more riots and revolts/uprisings | Jun 24 05:12 |
| schestowitz | this system relies on shopping | Jun 24 05:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, but then the landlords will put their businesses in Chapter 11 and lose a lot of that property. | Jun 24 05:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Who knows where the shit eventually lands? | Jun 24 05:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Try to avoid some of it if you can. | Jun 24 05:13 |
| schestowitz | it's the only way for 'peasants' to circulate cash | Jun 24 05:13 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Someone put about a dozen CDs I downloaded in Monkey's Audio and I spent hours yesterday with my computer plugging along like a dead elephant converting them all to WavPack. | Jun 24 06:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes WavPack -hh -x6 results in a 30-40 kbps savings over FLAC -8 | Jun 24 06:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So if you walk away from the computer for a day or so and let it do its thing you can save a substantial amount of space. | Jun 24 06:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: The price of a stereo with a CD player in it..... I bought one for $120. A pretty nice one too. | Jun 24 06:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nobody wants them. Best Buy has like 3-4 LG models. | Jun 24 06:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The CD player is being taken out of cars even though it only costs them like $40 and the car is $45,000. | Jun 24 06:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Super high sampling rates seem to mostly be a good way of wasting space with PCM. | Jun 24 06:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Though WavPack can efficiently store DSDs without a PCM conversion if you can find some. | Jun 24 06:36 |

| schestowitz | I’m enjoying this thread, and laughing at the words picked out by commenter “One of those” in particular that extremely revealing choice of words “As far as I can see….” to open the sentence. | Jun 24 06:39 |
| schestowitz | People old enough to have reached positions where they decide the question UPCA Y/N? will well remember Simon & Garfunkel back in the 1970’s singing “A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”. No different, I would say, between hearing, seeing and selective memory. The cognitive dissonance of the human brain is a timeless wonder, not least in the corridors of power in Brussels. | Jun 24 06:39 |
| schestowitz | As an Englishman in Germany, I find it striking, how difficult people find it, to distinguish fact from the opinion of the leading expert. It seems to be a bit of a “chicken and egg” situation. Is it the predisposition to trust the expert that comes first? Or is it the self-confidence with which the experts deliver their opinion that predisposes people to accept them? | Jun 24 06:39 |
| schestowitz | And why the English scepticism (even ridicule) of self-important pontifications of experts? Perhaps it comes from our adversarial system of civil litigation, where expert evidence is a staple but where it is inevitable, at trial, under cross-examination, one or other of the opposing experts is going to be exposed as unconvincing. Knowing this already, even before they deliver their written report/opinion, experts giving witness | Jun 24 06:39 |
| schestowitz | evidence in civil litigation in England, are extremely cautious, in every word they write, for their very reputation, the basis of their exalted status, is at stake. | Jun 24 06:39 |
| schestowitz | I recall that old story about the English, busy losing the Boer War and the reporter on site for the London Times sending back to London one gloomy report after another. Exasperated, his Editor sent him a cablegram which read “Send news of victories”. I wonder, does Mr Tilmann (consultant to Hogan Lovells, one of the world’s most prominent international litigation law firms) sometimes feel a bit like that reporter? | Jun 24 06:39 |
| schestowitz | Readers, I heartily recommend the current issue of der Spiegel and its eyebrow-raising report on the activities of Philipp Amthor, in pursuance of his employment as Consultant to another large international law firm, White & Case, extremely well-embedded in government circles, notably in Brussels.. | Jun 24 06:39 |

| schestowitz | and will that be simple? | Jun 24 06:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I don't see why not. The software is open source and handles pretty much any kind of audio you throw at it and has two implementations (official and libavcodec). | Jun 24 06:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not as popular as FLAC but I don't see why you couldn't read the data back out if you had to. | Jun 24 06:41 |

| XRevan86 | MinceR: The higher you go, the less oppositional it becomes. | Jun 24 17:38 |

| MinceR | who's the bald guy? | Jun 24 17:42 |
| XRevan86 | I guess it makes sense, as CPRF simply would not have existed if it weren't any different from United Russia, all the benefits for the corrupt are in UnRu after all. | Jun 24 17:42 |

| MinceR | lol | Jun 24 18:22 |
| XRevan86 | > Perl 7.0 is going to be v5.32 but with different, saner, more modern defaults. | Jun 24 18:23 |
| MinceR | double lol | Jun 24 18:23 |
| MinceR | so they're giving up on raku? | Jun 24 18:23 |
| XRevan86 | Doesn't "use v5.32" already yield the same result? | Jun 24 18:23 |
| XRevan86 | use v7 is fundamentally different? | Jun 24 18:23 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: No, but I guess this is exactly because Raku is Raku. | Jun 24 18:24 |
| MinceR | i wonder if there's any version of perl/raku where the compiler can actually tell you what its problem is with the syntax | Jun 24 18:25 |
| MinceR | or where OOP isn't fucked, or where closures work properly, or where passing non-scalar parameters isn't fucked | Jun 24 18:25 |
| MinceR | i've heard they at least wanted to make sigils a bit less of a pain in the ass in raku | Jun 24 18:26 |
| XRevan86 | I wonder if they'll ever deliver decent function prototypes | Jun 24 18:26 |
| MinceR | :> | Jun 24 18:26 |
| XRevan86 | > Why 7 and not 6? | Jun 24 18:28 |
| XRevan86 | The exact same reasons why PHP 6 never came to be, duh | Jun 24 18:28 |
| MinceR | because there was no point to PHP in the first place? | Jun 24 18:28 |
| MinceR | still, i don't understand how bumping the version to 7 would provide new defaults "even without specifying the version" while still having "Perl 5’s extreme backward compatibility behavior" | Jun 24 18:32 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Clearly it won't. | Jun 24 18:33 |
| XRevan86 | I guess the point made is that it's easy to write code that's compatible with both, if one just doesn't use crap. | Jun 24 18:33 |
| XRevan86 | (except for perl) | Jun 24 18:34 |
| MinceR | just don't make any coding errors ever and it won't matter whether use strict or use warnings was default or not | Jun 24 18:35 |
| *ohama has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) | Jun 24 18:35 | |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: PHP makes stuff like hosting many simple pages easy. | Jun 24 18:35 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: I guess if one wants compatibility with both, one has to add all that stuff there. | Jun 24 18:36 |
| MinceR | it was already simple with mod_perl, for example | Jun 24 18:36 |
| MinceR | it's just that PHP promotes bad practices, bad choices in naming and bad syntax | Jun 24 18:37 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Perl promotes that more | Jun 24 18:37 |
| MinceR | perl doesn't promote embedding code into your html | Jun 24 18:37 |
| MinceR | perl doesn't promote making your code depend on a particular RDBMS either, does it? | Jun 24 18:38 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Any guide on PHP will tell you "please use a template engine" | Jun 24 18:38 |
| MinceR | and last time i checked perl's standard library namespace wasn't the unmitigated mess that is PHP's | Jun 24 18:38 |
| MinceR | yes, the guides will tell you that | Jun 24 18:38 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Um, PHP PDO | Jun 24 18:38 |
| MinceR | PHP will tell you "just embed your code in your html, what's the worst that could happen?" | Jun 24 18:38 |
| MinceR | is that the one they moved out of official PHP? | Jun 24 18:39 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: No, it's very much in | Jun 24 18:39 |
| MinceR | good | Jun 24 18:39 |
| MinceR | PHP also initializes global variables to GET parameters by default | Jun 24 18:40 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: It doesn't do that anymore. | Jun 24 18:40 |
| XRevan86 | Since PHP 5.something | Jun 24 18:40 |
| MinceR | it was so much fun writing an extra page for a system that depended on this misfeature | Jun 24 18:40 |
| XRevan86 | The best way to get GET is filter_input | Jun 24 18:41 |
| MinceR | the best way to get GET is probably some python framework | Jun 24 18:41 |
| MinceR | certainly not PHP | Jun 24 18:41 |
| XRevan86 | but many people will just go for the $GET array | Jun 24 18:42 |
| MinceR | "there’s still much to be done to make Unicode the default, so you’ll probably need to keep some of that" | Jun 24 18:42 |
| MinceR | sounds like they're not ready to make a new major version yet | Jun 24 18:42 |
| MinceR | but they'll do it anyway! | Jun 24 18:42 |
| XRevan86 | > What’s disappearing? | Jun 24 18:43 |
| XRevan86 | > Perl 4-style prototype definitions (use :prototype() instead) | Jun 24 18:43 |
| XRevan86 | Well, at least it looks like they're making way for better prototypes ("signatures") | Jun 24 18:43 |
| XRevan86 | would make sense to first get them out of experimental "not yet finished" features | Jun 24 18:43 |
