[18:43:09] <Bender> karma - janrinok: 93
[18:43:40] <Bytram> break time, biab
[19:00:06] <Bytram> janrinok: /me goes to take a look at your coronavirus merge
[19:01:01] * Bytram confirms nobody else is editing the story
[19:01:18] * Bytram opens the story
[19:01:54] <Bytram> Ohhh, all fancy with the html headline tags!
[19:02:58] <Bytram> that's quite the culling! 28 subs down to just over 3K words?!!!!

[19:22:46] <Bytram> =g "The World After Coronavirus"
[19:22:47] <systemd> https://www.ft.com - Yuval Noah Harari: the world after coronavirus | Free to read ...
[23:33:05] <Bytram> Fnord666: !!
[23:33:18] <Fnord666> Bytram!!
[23:33:27] <Bytram> MOi?
[23:33:44] <Bytram> how was your day?
[23:34:34] <Fnord666> Good. Busy so it went fast.
[23:34:44] <Fnord666> You?
[23:34:48] <Bytram> glad to hear it went well!
[23:35:21] <Bytram> A bit of a trudge for a while, but finally got through it and doing much better!
[23:35:54] <Fnord666> JR is setting the bat pretty high with that covid roundup
[23:36:00] <Fnord666> s/bat/bar/
[23:36:01] <exec> <Fnord666> JR is setting the bar pretty high with that covid roundup
[23:36:33] <Bytram> ISTR bats were the problem, weren't they?
[23:36:43] <Fnord666> yes, or so they say
[23:37:05] * Bytram puts his fingers in his ears because he can't reach with his elbows.
[23:38:07] <Bytram> Fnord666: I'm a bit confused with the roundup story... I see 28 "Original Submission"s, but only counted about 16 stories?
[23:40:28] <Fnord666> I'm assuming the rest were culled
[23:41:06] <Bytram> Yes, I thought that, too. But ISTM the culling was after the merge.
[23:41:32] <Bytram> So all 28 submissions should show up as accepted for the submitters.
[23:42:59] <Fnord666> I mean "Neo-Nazis and homophobes are among the supporters of the ‘anti-trans’ group LGB Alliance
[23:42:59] <Fnord666> " was one of the original submission links
[23:43:03] <Bytram> Granted, I'd wager most of them were bot subs, but that still leaves 28 links to 16 stories. Good luck with matching one with the other, at least how it now stands.
[23:43:31] <Fnord666> which was accepted in Ari's submissions
[23:43:43] <Fnord666> but was culled from the merge
[23:43:58] <Bytram> so, it should be cull, THEN merge.
[23:44:41] <Fnord666> yes, if you have good cause to reject the submission at that time
[23:45:05] <Fnord666> otherwise you have to cull by only selecting some of the stories in the merge
[23:45:13] <Fnord666> rather than select all
[23:45:48] <Bytram> you got it
[23:45:56] <Fnord666> and yeah, when I reorganized my stories in the merge by topic, getting the submissions matched up was a PITA
[23:46:29] <Bytram> hmmm
[23:46:59] <Fnord666> Which was why the next time I just left them in order
[23:47:04] <Bytram> if the merge put each "Original Submission" immediately following the text of the story...
[23:47:45] <Bytram> yes, and of course said order is in no order at all. whatever comes out of a SELECT which has not ORDER BY clause.
[23:48:05] <Fnord666> an order by might be nice
[23:48:07] <Bytram> if nothing else, it would be helpful to gather them in order of subid.
[23:48:20] <Bytram> I'd like an order of ham on wry.
[23:48:51] <Fnord666> green eggs and spam on wry?
[23:49:07] <Bytram> touche!
[23:49:22] <Bytram> precious!
[23:49:31] <Fnord666> my precioussssss
[23:49:34] <Bytram> triple entendre?
[23:49:50] <Bytram> =g "frodo lives!"
[23:49:51] <systemd> https://en.wikipedia.org! - Frodo Lives! - Wikipedia
[23:52:57] <Bytram> That's better. I'm down to 84 open tabs in just one window.
[23:53:39] <Fnord666> nope. Can't do that many tabs
[23:53:58] <Bytram> tab-mix-plus++
[23:54:37] <Fnord666> although if pale moon can handle that many, I may have to give it a try
[23:54:41] <Bytram> the first 25 or so are standard tabs in their usual locations.
[23:55:06] <Fnord666> That's ... disturbing
[23:55:11] <Bytram> only problem I am having atm is that is seems to forget the favicon for a tab
[23:57:20] <Bytram> sn main page, someone's blog, SN dev, SN othr, ... SN Authors, SN HoF (for yesterday), SN HoF (today), SN story subs - hold, SN story subs - usual, SN stories queue... and so on
[23:57:33] <Bytram> (that was from memory)
[23:59:58] <Bytram> That's with only 6 GB of RAM on a Core 2 Duo laptop. Pale Moon is reasonably performant for me.
