| wpwrak | kristianpaul: if you find out about the devastating power of your local earthquakes only in IRC, they can't have been too bad ;-) | 02:32 |
|---|---|---|
| wpwrak | viric: around here, the maps suggested the epicenter was fairly close to where kristianpaul lives. and generally, the reasonably optimistic reports shortly after the quake have a tendency to get much worse a few hours late. like from "no fatalities reported" to "10% of the population dead or swept into the sea. and we've lost communucations to about 80% of the area" | 02:37 |
| Action: pabs3 is reminded of that story about some researchers who were able to predict earthquakes using twitter faster than using sensors | 02:41 | |

| afroguy | hi all | 06:44 |
| lekernel | http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adapteva/parallella-a-supercomputer-for-everyone | 09:57 |
| Fallenou | wow | 10:01 |
| Fallenou | they seemed to have prototyped on zynq board | 10:02 |
| lekernel | "The Parallella boards will cost more, however. Arduino boards or Raspberry Pi computers cost roughly $35 each as opposed to $99." thanks for the reminder, gigaom reportards. next time, maybe you should throw a $1.5 bag of carrots into the comparison. | 10:04 |
| Fallenou | ahah | 10:04 |
| Fallenou | and even comparying those, it's ridiculous | 10:05 |
| Fallenou | $35 and $99 ... it's really close | 10:05 |
| Fallenou | even if we accept to compare those projects which are totally different | 10:05 |
| Fallenou | it's not like $35 and $500 | 10:05 |
| larsc | Fallenou: yea, that's the ZED board. Considering the original price tag of the ZED board 99$ seems quite ambitious | 11:17 |
| wpwrak | grmbl. blackout again ... | 11:54 |
| kristianpaul | wpwrak: as i said i was lucky in case it could had been worst i was out of the town | 13:54 |
| kristianpaul | and i hope i'll sooner out for 2013 Q1, my current city have reports for 1700 of 9-12 earthquakes | 13:56 |
| kristianpaul | well all the valley is full of micro faults.. | 13:58 |
| wpwrak | sounds like fun :) | 14:06 |
| kyak | damn, i'm confused | 18:10 |
| kyak | * * */7 * * something - runs it every minute instead of every 7 days | 18:10 |
| kyak | it feels like the first wildcard (minutes) is more important | 18:11 |
| kyak | maybe what i've written means "every minute AND every seven days" | 18:12 |
| kyak | oh ok.. google says it's "every minute of every hour every seventh day" | 18:13 |
| kyak | guest today is the seventh day, and i got like 960 backups :) | 18:14 |
| kyak | should be 0 0 */7 * *.. now what happens if my laptop is off at the time? is the cron job queued? | 18:15 |
| viric | :) | 18:15 |
| viric | no, it's not queued. | 18:16 |
| viric | (with that syntax) | 18:16 |
| viric | even more, if you use vixie cron, it can't be queued. | 18:16 |
| viric | fcron has more features. | 18:16 |
| kyak | i'm suing cronie | 18:16 |
| kyak | lol, using | 18:16 |
| viric | I don't know cronie | 18:16 |
| wpwrak | oh, lovely name choice | 18:17 |
| kyak | hm, i thought it's very popular.. used in several distros by default | 18:18 |
| kyak | ok.. need to figure out how to backup well then.. | 18:18 |
| kyak | this one looks good http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/cronwhip/ | 18:26 |
