been just eating chicken for the most part, getting leaner again and feel pretty good.
my external HD , total piece of crap, is toasting on me.. western digital my passport.. i usually use this for running my vm's, i put the hard disks on it and virtualize from my mac.. but now i want to get a tower solely for running virtualbox etc... any ideas on computers? check this thread if you have a recommendation heh!@$@

really cool, must have some serious math skills.
ya, vim to be more exact this point.. ya screen + console providesextremely fast navigation.. splt screening is also very useful for coding in the top half & compiling in the bottom half, or issuing commands in the first half and tailing logs in the bottom half.. really helpful.
Studied math and chemistry in undergrad. Statistics are def waaaay less fun than the math you learn about as an undergrad but it's a really good field if you wanna have a job. Also a good thing to study if you wanna know how science and evidence works.
What do you do that has you coding so much?
just unix kernel/fs/userland stuff, network/security stuff.. i'm mostly into how operating systems work & how the internet works (various protocols etc), that's what i've always been drawn to when it comes to programming etc.

If you want to have fun programming math problems check out http://projecteuler.net/.
It's a great site. It starts off really easy, too save time best initially to use a scripting language like python. The cool thing is after you solve each problem you get forum access to see everyone elses code. There is always some people that write everything in x86 or haskell or some crazy one-liner in J or APL, and you get to look at peoples really interesting efficient code. I have learned about as much on that site about coding math than I learned in 5 years of grad school. Watch out though, they get exponentially hard. I solved the first 50-100 problems in a couple weeks and then they started taking me weeks to solve each one and I had to quit to get work done.
hah cool.. i dont like solving math problems actually, my math background is horrible.. i always tested "gifted" in math growing up, but the public schools i went to were horrible and eventually all i cared about was basketball, pretty sad really. when i graduated high school, the most advanced class i took was geometry, with elementary level algebra classes.. had to take tons of math in college, stopped at calc 3/diff eq's. so my math background is pretty horrid.

Finally, watch out for the Mac. I had a mac laptop and the mac terminal is set up ALMOST like the unix standards. However, if you write a lot of shell scripts or awk scripts you will invariably write something in linux that isn't portable to your mac. Really annoying but they follow the POSIX standard about 99% of the time and then the 1% of the time ruins you.
ya i don't get why so many companies/software dev'rs break posix/C99 etc, especially in this day and age.. at least *nix's are much more along standard lines than microsoft, who just reinvents and breaks everything.. hah
pc man
Ah, got me there todday, when i say vi i refer to vim, we even have them aliased on our machines, to open vim u type vi
i installed vim on my freebsd box yesterday, using pkg's.. i got some message talking about set nomodeline in ~/.vimrc because of trojan'd "text files", wtf? never heard of that.. didnt google it yet but that sounds very weird hah.
oh ya btw t0ddday you must have been talking about ed not vi.. vi can use arrow keys, ed is 1 line input editor etc.. if arrows keys are broke with vi, it would have to be terminal settings.. it's happened to me before.

another vi commando on adarq.org
yeah definitely.. you probably take advantage of it much more than i, i just use it for navigating text fast, matching up my {} ()'s when coding, and fast string replacement.
im actually a vi noob, i just dont have any demands which would make me use all of it's features hah.
ya i've done it no purpose.. i retraced some of my steps, and something that had a big impact on me getting out of the coding/unix world was getting a laptop (macbook running osx) which has a gui of course.. ive realized it was a big distraction and helped to make me "bored" of coding etc.. the video world & code world may not mix so well. it's easy to just become a zombie now that stuff like youtube exist.
ya i could easily install X but i dont want too.. i had to install X for my dad though.. i just cant view videos yet on it.
the solution yuo gave me is how mac OSX works.. i began using osx mostly programming/researching etc.. then by the end (5 years later) i find myself watching people face plant, then commenting on videos all day, then watching dunk videos all day, and before you know it, im zombified.
;F
i did use gui alot today though.. installing virtualbox vm's, so i just set the X display to this computer, set them up, and now i can use VBoxHeadless to run the vm's and just ssh into them.
boss.
LBSS family ruinion? niiiiiiiiiiice.

GNU Screen is probably the worlds greatest program. Eliminates the need for so much other stuff that has tons of overhead like dropbox and virtual desktops. Screen is so easy, I might even run it on my phone so I can check jobs I submit to the cluster.
From 1996? Damn I didn't know you could use computers for anything interesting till I started grad school. Really old school. Is that VI days? That's the most difficult editor of all time.

Don't underestimate vi. It may be the most difficult editor ever indeed , takes so much time to learn it and get used to it , but it may also be the most powerful one. Once you get used to the basic features to do your job , you start learning more complicated features, macros etc. This builds up if you use it for work , new needs come up , new ways to cover them are discovered. In the end ( after using it at work for ~8 years ) i prefer vi over any high-tech editor, just personal opinion though.

Adarqui, so the lack of GUI is a matter of choice? Don't understand it. Install one of the most recent linux editions , like ubuntu. You get an easy and friendly gui , pnp for most devices , access to the basic stuff you need ( youtube , flash etc ) and when you get sick of gui just open a terminal , make it full screen, there you are

cool what do you do for work?
i used console/screen etc from 96 to 2004 haha.. then i got a laptop with osx, so i gave into the gui, which i've come to realize is a huge distraction.

« on: January 18, 2012, 12:07:18 pm »crossfit is too much effort. i'm on RetiredFit.
ran a bunch today with my dog, then ate 5 english muffins with butter.
need to figure out how to view videos on my new setup, would like to see the vids nightfly/jello dropped ni that january dunk contest thread.
right now im strictly ascii/console, except for viewing a few pics with zgv.
Linux? What distribution. VLC player is probably your best bet for video.
ya i run debian, solaris 10, freebsd, and openbsd.. freebsd is the only system i have a GUI on, but it's for my dad, to browse the web.. VLC would definitely work but i'm talking more about youtube videos etc, which would require flash plugins, which have failed so far on freebsd. i didn't try too hard admittedly ;/ getting so much stuff done now that i cant "waste time" on youtube/browsing the net etc.
i've barred myself from installing X11R6 on anything but the freebsd box. ;f
you run *nix? peace

« on: January 14, 2012, 10:57:53 pm »Your goals are your goals, but I find them terrible. You want to gain muscle on thighs and lose fat on waist until the end of the month. That's a fantastic way of making sure that you won't reach either of those goals. If you want to be a beast, it's time to gain some muscle and stop worrying about the circumference of your bodyparts. You will have major thighs once you can squat 200 kilos, I promise.
squat 200kg a lot of times and eat tons of protein. u will eventually wear compression to hide your quadzillas..
wtf is that

consistency beats all.. some sort of intelligent training helps.. but its mostly the ability to just do it again and again.
give darqui a break. he is just recovering from accumulated stress and abuse he did.. 1 step back, 2 steps forward.
I'm quoting the banner at the top of the forum
right, so if the equation becomes:
Consistency + Intelligent Training = ...
without those other key ingredients, training is futile.
anyway i need to figure out what to put in my journal in the near future, maybe i'll just turn it into a blog.................. lmao.

i didn't need a break, stress & abuse wasn't a concern.. a little nagging knee injury sure was annoying but it wasn't really an issue. it has nothing to do with that :F

sucks nightfly ;/
vince i wouldnt be able to dunk thats for sure.
yes raptor is correct, i got chased on foot but i smoked the dude thanks to my half squatting, sprints, and jumps.. plus they shot at me.
nothing has gotten into me.. i have no anger to feed off anymore so im unable to train, and ive gone so long at this point without training (what is it like 3 months now, which is an eternity for me) that i'm basically retired lmfao :F
im just chillin now.
What about your promise?
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed5VRE0lOXU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed5VRE0lOXU</a>
i broke my promise and i dont ive a fuck
Quote
Stopping training and not keeping your promise is highly demotivational...
if my cessation of training demotivates someone, that's on them, not me. i did what i did, i worked as hard as possible, but when you lose your love for something, you move on to something else. it's impossible to train for something if it becomes boring & pointless for whatever reason. at least that's how i look at it.
me losing my love for dunking/power training shouldn't effect someone elses love for their training. if it does, that's weird.
