| 17:43.27 | Monnok | ive had to be more careful since |
| 17:50.38 | Monnok | it was a long time ago |
| 17:52.23 | Monnok | ive made it a tradition to put my resume up at least once a year to keep my interviewee skills decent, and to see if there are better opportunities out there |
| 17:54.28 | Monnok | it also kinda lets you know what employers are looking for. I had a few phone interviews with one company where i failed miserably the second one. I asked what i could improve on to make me a better candidate, and they let me know |

| 18:13.58 | mahelious | when one debugs magneto, one hopefully has wolverine and the professor standing close by... |
| 18:14.33 | TuxToaster | and Mystique... aka User Agent Switcher. |
| 18:15.25 | TuxToaster | I would say Wolverine could be Firebug, but if we kept going there, I'd have to compare Firefox to the Juggernaut, especially when it comes to memory usage. |
| 18:15.52 | Monnok | whatcha got for chrome developer tools? |
| 18:16.13 | TuxToaster | Kitty Pride? Effective, but not many people see them. |
| 18:16.13 | Monnok | silver surfer? |
| 18:16.40 | TuxToaster | although that might be more fitting for Safari since you have to dig just to enable the menu option. |
| 18:18.05 | TuxToaster | I still honestly prefer Firebug to Webkit's tools, particularly editing CSS and the console... just wish that there was a better way to make Firebug work in Webkit besides the lame web-based version |

| 18:19.08 | Monnok | true, sometimes debugging in firefox is just better |
| 18:19.47 | Monnok | console.log() is one of those things i fire up FF for |
| 18:19.48 | TuxToaster | yup. That's all I use it for now, but it's easier and faster for me. Plus, no real problems with it if I'm just running one window with one tab |
| 18:20.06 | TuxToaster | console.log does work in Chrome, as far as I know |
| 18:20.23 | Monnok | if you have the firebug extension, yes |
| 18:20.27 | TuxToaster | ah yeah |
| 18:20.31 | TuxToaster | err |
| 18:20.35 | TuxToaster | wait... do I? |
| 18:20.47 | TuxToaster | I have it in FF, but I didn't think I installed anything in Chrome |
| 18:20.55 | Monnok | i do, but it feels like a trial version of firebug to me |
| 18:21.18 | TuxToaster | I don't have it, I just use the default inspector in Chrome |
| 18:21.20 | Monnok | so i dont use it |
| 18:21.33 | TuxToaster | and the console.log() does work with it. |
| 18:21.39 | Monnok | hmm, good to know |
| 18:22.02 | TuxToaster | just inspect element and then go to the tab. :-) |
| 18:22.49 | TuxToaster | if I'm editing CSS or JS though, FF + Firebug is much faster. I love being able to paste multiline JS into the console and change it easily or being able to cycle through CSS values quickly to see how something changes |
| 18:23.41 | clintberry | console.log works in chrome out of the box |
| 18:24.11 | clintberry | ;-) |
| 18:24.13 | TuxToaster | *gasp* I've got a fake! |
| 18:24.39 | TuxToaster | <sarcasm>Too bad that Google doesn't offer a Genuine Advantage checking tool like Microsoft does</sarcasm> |
| 18:25.32 | clintberry | TuxToaster: Editing CSS in Chrome is pretty sweet too. When you edit it, it keeps track of revisions, and also lets you copy and past the changes from dev tools into your css file. |
| 18:26.57 | TuxToaster | yeah, it's not bad, but I find I am used to Firebug so I often hit the down arrow expecting to lower a pixel value, not move down a line. Plus it's harder to get directly to a CSS file, you have to navigate the resources tree, where I usually just hit the CSS tab and maybe switch files from the dropdown at the top. |
| 18:27.43 | clintberry | good to know |
| 18:28.09 | TuxToaster | I do copy and paste from FB also, but I want to say Chrome doesn't strip out stuff like -moz and -o- properties, which is a bit handy |
| 18:28.32 | clintberry | it does not, that is true |
| 18:28.44 | TuxToaster | with FB I've accidentally killed webkit items before since it completely ignores them and reformats some of the other shorthand properties |
| 18:28.51 | TuxToaster | which is good or bad, depending on how you look at it. |
| 18:28.55 | clintberry | It's like editing the original file when editing css on chrome |
| 18:29.00 | TuxToaster | right |

| 18:54.53 | mgeary | i don't like messing with cables and crap when i come in to the office. Just sit down at the computer and get to work |
| 18:55.43 | mgeary | i will continue to use my laptop when i'm home and on the go, but i like to have a good desktop machine for work |
| 18:56.24 | hhatfield | get an apple thunderbolt display |
| 18:56.39 | clintberry | hhatfield: +1 |
| 18:57.01 | clintberry | get 2 and daisy chain them ;-) you know, because money isn't an issue |
| 18:57.07 | TuxToaster | ha |
| 18:57.18 | mgeary | heh. yeah, you underestimate the depths of my frugality |
| 18:58.17 | hhatfield | I have a power supply at home and at work, so when I bring my laptop in, all the cords are laying right there ready to plug in. Takes 2 seconds |
| 18:58.29 | mgeary | and monitor, and external storage, and keyboard, and mouse |
| 18:58.36 | mgeary | monitor(s) |
| 18:58.45 | mgeary | you also underestimate my laziness |
| 18:59.31 | clintberry | if you get thunderbold display, all of that is already plugged into your monitor, and it is only one cable :-) |
| 18:59.33 | hhatfield | I haven't estimated it, so I'm sure I've neither over- or underestimated it |
| 19:00.48 | fungus | mgeary, have you considered an iMac |
| 19:00.51 | TuxToaster | clintberry: that assumes a new Macbook, though. |
| 19:01.02 | mgeary | fungus: no, but i don't need another monitor, already have 2 |
| 19:01.11 | clintberry | TuxToaster: So true. Alas, I don't have one either. I just voice my dreams. |
| 19:01.56 | hhatfield | how bout developing on an ipad |
| 19:02.49 | hhatfield | http://yieldthought.com/post/12239282034/swapped-my-macbook-for-an-ipad |
| 19:03.58 | clintberry | The flexibility and power of vim never ceases to amaze me |
| 19:03.58 | TuxToaster | heh, wow. |
| 19:04.04 | TuxToaster | you'd have to be pretty dedicated |
| 19:04.31 | TuxToaster | although if you do all of your dev in a terminal I could see that working |

| 19:20.18 | romanovic | I've looked periodically into getting a mac at home to work on |
| 19:20.39 | fungus | mgeary, iMacs can be as powerful as low to mid-range MacPros, and are really simple and clean. |
| 19:20.57 | fungus | And they are cheaper |
| 19:21.04 | fungus | Not by a ton, but they are. |
| 19:21.21 | hhatfield | I find that macs have all the things I need and I find are a lot more intuitive to use than [insert distro here] |
| 19:21.29 | romanovic | I just can't get over the fact that the total sum value of things i am buying seems to be 2x what i would expect |
| 19:21.53 | romanovic | x = parts value, y = price of mac os x, but total cost != x+y |
| 19:22.00 | romanovic | more like (x+y)*2 |
| 19:24.04 | hhatfield | this might shed some light on why: http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/01/24/this-is-how-apples-top-secret-product-development-process-works/ |
| 19:24.42 | hhatfield | and as far as I know, they make profit on every piece of hardware they sell |
| 19:24.49 | mindjuju | more importantly, this is how this works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzU_7VyfDmM |
| 19:25.55 | mgeary | romanovic: http://hothardware.com/articles/Is-The-Apple-Tax-Real-Mac-vs-PC-Pricing-Compared/default.aspx?va=y&page=4 |
| 19:27.02 | hhatfield | mindjuju: I don't think I want a black light that will put a dent in my head. |
| 19:27.24 | mindjuju | i think it's a great idea for home defense ! |
| 19:27.27 | romanovic | mgeary: those seem pretty comparable |
| 19:27.40 | mindjuju | have a tesla coil on and it's be illuminated whilst being shot |
| 19:27.43 | mindjuju | coudl be cool |
| 19:27.51 | romanovic | and to be fair, when i've built comparisons in the past, it was higher end machines that i would prefer to build myself |
| 19:28.24 | mgeary | romanovic: i haven't done the research myself, but my general impression has been that yes, you can build a machine cheaper, but if you target the same kind/class of components, the actual difference is much smaller than many PC zealots might have you believe |
| 19:28.30 | romanovic | not nicely packaged machines from dell or hp, which may have support and warranty advantages over self-built, but are more expensive |
| 19:29.24 | hhatfield | I decided a few years back to stop building my own machines. I found I didn't have anyone I could blame that wouldn't turn around and tell me it was my fault. |
| 19:30.27 | mgeary | it's hard to put a value on not having any hardware problems |
| 19:31.30 | mindjuju | actually mgeary, i k now several windows machines that haven't had ANY hardware problems |
| 19:31.47 | mindjuju | of course they sit in the corner, powered off and collecting dust |
| 19:31.50 | mgeary | hahahaah |
| 19:32.06 | TuxToaster | lol |
| 19:32.22 | mgeary | i'm not saying you ARE going to have hardware problems with PCs, i'm just saying *i've* never had that kind of hardware problem with Macs |
| 19:33.06 | romanovic | i've been lucky with my self-built machines. I've never bought poor-quality parts, and the only part that has died young on me was a power supply |
| 19:33.20 | romanovic | relatively cheap to replace |
| 19:33.29 | mgeary | sure |
| 19:33.40 | TuxToaster | mgeary: the weird thing with macs is when they do go south, it seems like it's always some failed component on the motherboard / "logic board" |
| 19:34.06 | mgeary | that's happened to me with MBPs, but never a desktop machine |
| 19:34.09 | TuxToaster | but in general, if you get a good one without any troubles, they are really reliable |
| 19:34.12 | mgeary | i always do get AppleCare with a MBP |
| 19:34.21 | mgeary | and i believe it's always paid for itself |
| 19:34.34 | mgeary | but i never do with a desktop |
| 19:34.43 | TuxToaster | yup |
| 19:35.16 | TuxToaster | I've got a bunch of older PCs that have failed PSUs and some failed motherboards, and then I've got some Macs from the 80s and 90s that work fine |
| 19:35.21 | TuxToaster | albeit not terribly useful. lol |
| 19:36.09 | mgeary | yeah, i could probably resurrect my desktop at home that has "died" and precipitated all this, but it's a PPC G5, and i don't know that there's much value in using a non-intel machine much longer |
| 19:38.40 | mindjuju | we have a spare mbp that i pulled from the creative department |
| 19:38.45 | mindjuju | it's just sitting in the server room |
| 19:39.17 | TuxToaster | sad when companies do that. Put the thing to use somewhere. heh. |
| 19:39.44 | mindjuju | TuxToaster, don't look |
| 19:39.51 | mindjuju | Based on what I see on eBay and what my friends have suggested, I believe that the Macbook Pro should be sold at $1450 with a low of $1400. It's not that old and has an i5 processor. |
| 19:40.04 | mindjuju | excerpt from an email responding to what we should do with it |
| 19:40.21 | TuxToaster | oh is that the one you were trying to sell? |
| 19:40.27 | mindjuju | yar |
| 19:40.32 | mindjuju | back in december |
| 19:40.36 | TuxToaster | yeah, I remember that |
| 19:41.01 | mindjuju | it's sad, nobody to use it, i5 proc going to waste |
| 19:41.13 | TuxToaster | yup |
| 19:42.07 | mgeary | what i'd like to know is how an 8-core 3.2 GHz Xeon compares to a 4-core 2.8 GHz Nehalem |
| 19:42.21 | mindjuju | sounds like a fungus question |
| 19:42.46 | mgeary | and to a Westmere |
| 19:43.46 | fungus | http://www.marco.org/2010/07/27/imac-or-mac-pro |
| 19:44.00 | fungus | http://www.macworld.com/article/143998/2009/11/corei7vsmacpro.html |
| 19:44.20 | mindjuju | called it |
| 19:44.40 | fungus | http://www.macworld.com/article/160469/2011/06/ultimateimac2011.html |
| 19:44.45 | mindjuju | i wonder if we should actively try to sell the MBP or let it keep dust |
| 19:45.25 | TuxToaster | mindjuju: it was a 2010 model, no? |
| 19:45.42 | mindjuju | yeah, sounds right |
| 19:46.35 | TuxToaster | I would have said Gazelle, but looks like they'd only quote $606 for that spec |
| 19:46.45 | mindjuju | wow |
| 19:47.05 | TuxToaster | assuming I got the right model, but pretty sure it was a 6,2 15" |
| 19:47.07 | mindjuju | less than half of what ebay fair market is or was |
| 19:47.20 | TuxToaster | yeah. Honestly not sure I'd trust them for much |
| 19:47.26 | TuxToaster | but they're good as a last resort at least |
| 19:47.40 | TuxToaster | someone I know said they quoted like $220 for an iPad 2 |
| 19:47.54 | mindjuju | if i recall, it was close to http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-MacBook-Pro-15-4-Laptop-MC372LL-A-April-2010-CarbonFiber-Case-Bundle-/350510807828?pt=Apple_Laptops&hash=item519c127b14#ht_563wt_863 |
| 19:47.57 | TuxToaster | so they're more an option if you just can't get anyone to buy it and need some money |
| 19:48.12 | TuxToaster | yeah, I remember that one |
| 19:48.13 | mindjuju | that's funny ipad 2 for $220 |
| 19:49.40 | TuxToaster | yeah, even best case (saying you have the original discs and picking one with the 500GB HD) it only offers $733 |
| 19:50.10 | mindjuju | wow |
| 19:53.44 | TuxToaster | well, that was strange. Wind is blowing like crazy over here, had a crow just hovering outside of my window watching me. |
| 19:54.08 | mindjuju | maybe CIA bird-esque drone |
| 19:54.11 | mindjuju | sent to spy on ya |

| 20:11.51 | ninnypants | Another time, I was bypassing screening (again on official FBI business) with my .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol, and a TSA officer noticed the clip of my pocket knife. "You can't bring a knife on board," he said. I looked at him incredulously and asked, "The semi-automatic pistol is okay, but you don't trust me with a knife?" His response was equal parts predictable and frightening, "But knives are not allowe |

| 23:34.13 | mindjuju | it's exhausting because it has tons of little options, etc |
| 23:34.51 | ninnypants | do you have to check them off on paper then fax them to the machine and it runs the commands ;) |
