14:34:37raptorgood day!
15:46:13Watusimotohi
15:46:55Watusimotoman, my spam flow has gone up by 10x in the last couple of months
15:47:48raptorhi
15:47:54raptoryeah, mine has in the past month
15:48:16Watusimotoboo
15:50:31WatusimotoI just finished an interesting interview -- it sounds like fairly dull work, but with extreme flexibility, in terms of hours, hours per week, location, vacation, etc.
15:50:45raptoroh?
15:50:46WatusimotoI hate dull work, but I love flexibility
15:50:50raptorwhat type of work?
15:51:08Watusimotocustomizing business apps for medical institutions
15:51:15Watusimotokind of like SAP
15:51:21raptorblah
15:51:34Watusimotodid I mention dull?
15:52:03Watusimotothe pay is reasonable
15:52:19raptorany other options at the moment?
15:52:27WatusimotoI have another interview on Tuesday
15:52:34Watusimotosent two resumes, got two interview requests
15:52:39Watusimotoso that's not bad
15:53:09Watusimotothis other job will be in much better alignment with my career trajectory (software architect for geospatial and environmental consulting company)
15:53:27Watusimotoprobably more interesting work, less pay, much less flexibility, I'm guessing
15:54:10WatusimotoI'm doing a second interview with the first company after I get back to the US, so I have some time to look around a little more
15:54:49raptoralready a second interview?
15:55:20Watusimotoyes
15:55:41WatusimotoI have only had one interview in my life that didn;t lead to a job offer
15:56:35raptorthat's good!
15:56:36Watusimotoand since I got two jobs with no interview at all, I'm batting better than 1000
15:56:44raptorhaha
15:57:30WatusimotoI always feel akward in an interview, but I guess that doesn't show through
15:57:39Watusimotono wait, I had a second interview that I didn;t get the job
15:57:51raptordo jobs as teenagers count?
15:57:54WatusimotoI called in from a phone box in Kiev.
15:58:07Watusimotothe box was unventilated, and it was about 95 degrees in there
15:58:23Watusimotoand there were three (I think) mosquitoes that seemed very hungry
15:58:43WatusimotoI wasn;t counting non-professional jobs
15:58:57Watusimotothat interview went badly
16:00:04Watusimotothey were asking how I'd computationally locate the deepest part of a streambed (a very complicated question considering what do you mean by 'deepest'), and all I could think of was those damn mosquitoes.
16:00:45raptoreek
16:01:02WatusimotoI was in there for 45 minutes or so, and came out soaked in sweat
16:01:18Watusimotoprobably cost me $20
16:01:30raptorno lunch that day
16:01:31Watusimotoso, batting exactly 1000 :-)
16:01:35raptorha
16:02:14raptori'll be right back... switching offices
16:02:21raptor Quit ()

16:05:05Watusimotohere is the job advert I answered for the interview today... you could totally do this job without leaving provo! http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/sof/4605019677.html
16:07:41raptor"Java or C# or any OOPL (work is not done in either of these languages)"
16:07:47raptori wonder what it's done in...
16:08:34raptorif it's php i'm not sure i'd want to do it...
16:08:58Watusimotoit's done in "huron click" language
16:09:09raptoralso, I've never actually submitted a code sample with a resume before
16:09:12Watusimotoit's that sap like product's language
16:09:23raptorhow does submission of code like that work?
16:09:24Watusimotobitfighter!
16:09:32Watusimotoit's what I submitted
16:09:44WatusimotoI just sent a url to the repo
16:09:46raptorso a URL to the project page?
16:09:50raptorha!
16:09:51raptorcool
16:10:00WatusimotoI am quite sure they didn't look at it
16:10:15Watusimotothey just wanted to know if I knew which end was up
16:11:06raptorwe had an intern here once that brought with him a binder with his school labwork printed out
16:11:33Watusimotochemistry or biology? :-)
16:11:43raptorpages and pages of code, double-spaced, including whitespace
16:12:06raptori don't remember what it was
16:12:26raptorjust that the long lines were wrapped...
16:13:01Watusimotowho would ever look at that?
16:13:53raptoryes, exactly - which makes me wonder about code requirements like that job posting above has
16:14:17Watusimotothey said they get a lot of applicants that have no idea how to program]
16:14:18raptorbut if it's just a simple way to filter through lesser mortals, then I guess it makes sense
16:14:30Watusimotothey gave me a "test" with two laughably easy questions
16:14:49Watusimotohe said a lot of people failed it
16:14:55raptoroh man
16:15:10Watusimotoalong the lines of the sorting problem you showed me earlier
16:17:07Watusimototheir portland office has one desk
16:17:16raptorwow
16:17:23Watusimotowhich is empty 80% of the time
16:17:39Watusimotoand that's where most of the employees are
16:17:47raptorhaha
16:18:01Watusimotohe offered to come to my house for the 2nd interview
16:18:06raptorwhat
16:18:23Watusimotonot in luxembourg, obviously!
16:18:26raptorthis sounds more and more like one-man company
16:18:35Watusimoto12 or 13, I think
16:19:02Watusimotoor maybe 16
16:19:36Watusimotoall are pretty hardcore devs, except for two ex-student types
16:19:43Watusimotowho are probably good devs themselves
16:20:54raptormaybe you can evangelize bitfighter amongst them if you get that job :)
16:21:39Watusimotoyeah, maybe. he told me he is thinking about taking some company resources and trying something new, perhaps a game
16:21:51WatusimotoI told him I thought that would not end well
16:21:58raptoryeah, i agree
16:22:25Watusimotomaking an indie game that is profitable is really hard... doing it with no experience at all is... a tad harder
16:23:38Watusimotohe asked me a couple of times what I'm looking for in a job, and I think that is a really important question for me right now
16:24:16raptori could never answer that question very well..
16:24:20WatusimotoI can come up with all sorts of attributes I want, but I can't really answer the question directly
16:24:40Watusimotoforget the interview context, I am not sure I can even answer that to myself
16:26:40Watusimotoa 30 hour work week sounds appealing
16:26:46raptorit's almost one of those life-meaning questions
16:27:04raptorha! yeah it does
16:27:14Watusimotocould totally do that with this job
16:27:36raptori wonder if we're post-scarcity enough in the US to switch everyone to a 30-hour work week...
16:28:20Watusimotonot post-scarcity, but post-manufacturing
16:28:46raptoryes, that makes more sense
16:28:57Watusimotohowever... not in the tech sector. there we still have a shortage of workers
16:29:50Watusimotoactually, at this job, I could probably sustain myself at 20 hours a week
16:30:20Watusimotothat might help contain the pain :-)
16:31:28raptorbut would you get the benefits?
16:32:53WatusimotoI'm not sure. I think so. But of course, there would be some limit at which the arrangement stopped working
16:33:13Watusimotowhat might work better would be 40 hours during the winter, 20 in summer
16:33:36Watusimotoor the opposite, if you were a skiier
16:33:44raptorthat's practically what it's like here anyways...
16:33:51raptormost people are gone 1/2 the time
16:34:06Watusimotoha
16:34:13Watusimotohere too, in August!
16:34:18WatusimotoEurope goes on holiday!
16:34:22raptoroh?
16:34:31Watusimotoit's the typical time
16:34:43Watusimotomany people take a week or two
16:34:46Watusimotosometimes more
16:34:56raptorin Utah it's July because of the 4th and 24th holidays
16:35:32Watusimotothis sounds like a cool job for me:
16:35:33Watusimotohttp://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/etc/4609717575.html
16:35:45raptoroh boy
16:36:11raptormy wife thinks that that is a horrible, horrible idea for anyone to do
16:37:52raptorbut that's a highly charged discussion topic...
16:39:04Watusimotoit might be a horrible idea for me to do...
16:39:22raptorbadrabbit is an interesting name for a company...
16:42:08Watusimotothere's a story there
16:42:18Watusimotohttp://www.badrabbitconsulting.com/team

22:41:53raptorhi sam686
22:42:02sam686hi
22:42:11raptorthat last commit had you commit some dll/lib files... was that intentional?
22:43:03sam686that what happens when I build as 64 bit, I thought I have unchecked all dll/lib
22:43:21raptorthose are 64bit libs?
22:43:51sam686yes.... which won't build on 32 bit
22:44:08sam686however I only pushed some but not all 64 bit libs
22:44:29raptorwell it says they were 'modified'
22:44:34sam686there kindof need to be a way to use a separate DIR for 64 bit so I don't accidenly push those again
22:44:35raptorso i think you replaced some
22:44:40raptoryes, i agree
22:45:11raptormaybe just make a win64 sub dir?
22:45:27sam686sure
22:47:13sam686http://sam6.25u.com/upload/lib64.zip those is the 64 bit I have
22:49:56sam686Do you or should I through those into lib/win64 and commit? (along with reverting lib/dll on non-64 bit)
22:50:36sam686one obvious problem is telling cmake to use those 64 bit lib when using 64 bit presets
22:52:58raptorI'm not sure - do we really want to start doing a 64 bit build?
22:53:32raptorI think I asked watusimoto about a year ago for that and he said we didn't need to yet
