[02:05:23] <upstart> ^ 03Linus Torvalds pens vintage 'f*cking' rant at kernel dev's 'utter BS' • The Register ( https://www.theregister.co.uk )

[02:15:19] <chromas> I wisth Microsoft had a Linus Torvalds to smake the designers of Windows Update

[02:18:59] <Bytram> break time
[02:19:24] <Bytram> actually, looks more like it should be bed time.
[02:19:31] <Bytram> laters!

[22:49:31] <takyon> possible bug TheMightyBuzzard
[22:50:32] <takyon> well it's dumb

[22:50:45] <upstart> ^ 0334 Criminal cases tossed after body cam footage shows cop planting drugs - SoylentNews
[22:50:57] <takyon> both of these stories were posted at the exact same time for whatever reason
[22:51:29] <takyon> and although one story appears above the other in the story list (they are not randomly switching position on page load or whatever), neither story links to each other
[22:51:38] <takyon> they both have "« AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 and 56 Announced | Mayor of Ozamiz, Philippines Killed by Philippine National Police During Drug Raid »"
[22:52:25] <takyon> not a big deal but something to take note of maybe
[23:13:23] <Bytram> takyon: that was my mistake... tl;dr a program I wrote to calculate a release time for a story, if it starts with the same reference time and offset calculates the same resulting time.
[23:15:43] <Bytram> well, my mistake in the story *scheduling*... as for both stories having the same values for "previous" and "next" stories, sounds to me like a logic bug in the code.
[23:17:26] <Bytram> a quite reasonable and understandable bug (what story has the greatest release time that is less than the currently-scheduled story's release time) and (what story has the smallest release time that is greater than the currently-scheduled story's release time)
[23:17:30] <Bytram> IOW...
