[00:00:03] <NCommander> paulej72, yeah, I noticed
[00:01:18] -!- Cyprus has quit [Quit: out]
[00:01:39] <paulej72> NCommander: did you make a change on dev for the default theme to use chillax?
[00:01:46] <NCommander> paulej72, I did, to test that code
[00:01:52] <NCommander> I just set the var in the DB
[00:02:32] <paulej72> NCommander: so the default in the dropdown goes to the var?
[00:03:37] <paulej72> set to nothing which then goes to stie default in the db.
[00:06:08] <paulej72> NCommander: I want to do a redeploy on chillax soon. If you are not busy could you please prep the db with the updates we will need. thanks
[00:07:45] <NCommander> paulej72, default sets the var to ""
[00:07:48] <NCommander> Which means default

[15:47:14] <Bytram> n1: good morning!
[15:48:32] <n1> good afternoon
[15:48:37] <n1> how are things
[15:49:11] <Bytram> still waking up and getting started on my day.
[15:50:50] <Bytram> am reading an interesting article. AMD announced its "Radeon R9 295X2" rated at 11.5 TFlop/s: http://www.theregister.co.uk
[15:52:08] <Bytram> by comparison, the #1 system on the first TOP500 supercomputer list rated 59.7 GFlop/s (Max) and 131.0 (Peak)
[15:53:41] <Bytram> THAT system was a Thinking Machines Corporation system with 1024 processors and was located at Los Alamos National Laboratory
[15:55:14] <n1> thats pretty cool, especially being an amd fanboi myself :p
[15:55:23] <n1> maybe you should write a submission on it ;)
[15:55:47] <Bytram> To put this in further perspective, this one card from AMD is rated better than the top supercomputer in the 2001-June list. And it retails for only $1,499 (IIRC)
[15:56:37] <Bytram> maybe I should =)
[15:57:03] <n1> the queue is non-existant right now, and i really really need to do the work i totally forgot about yesterday :-/
[15:59:43] <Bytram> am working on it... I'll let you know when it's ready
[16:00:01] <n1> awesome thanks :)
[16:00:29] <n1> after im finished with this shit, i'll be putting stories in the queue
[16:00:59] * Bytram wishes there were a universal cut-and-paste command that worked the same accross all platforms and applications
[16:01:13] <n1> but sadly, paying work must come first, especially when i forgot about it yesterday lol
[16:02:42] <Bytram> paid work is important. I fully understand! Wish I could spend more time here!!!!!!

[17:08:15] <paulej72> weeds: voice granted, but noone is arround :)
[17:08:38] <n1> i'm here but that's no use to anyone :p
[17:09:07] <weeds> thank you. Would it be possible to get a list of the top ten commented stories (with comment counts) that were not about the site itself? I would be very interested to see what is getting comments.
[17:09:49] <n1> i've been planning on doing a bit of research into that myself, weeds
[17:10:04] <n1> to see what stories draw the most engagement
[17:10:42] <mechanicjay> this is from two weeks ago:
[17:10:44] <mechanicjay> http://archives.smbfc.net
[17:10:51] <weeds> yes, that would be interesting to know
[17:10:53] <mechanicjay> http://archives.smbfc.net
[17:10:58] <mechanicjay> ^^use that one
[17:11:43] <mechanicjay> It's a count of all stories, hits, comments and comment/view ratio
[17:12:03] <n1> i've found it very hard to predict what will draw comments
[17:12:20] <weeds> top 10 are SylentNews
[17:12:32] <n1> when i've published submissions thinking they'd create discussion, and very little.. and the opposite when i think it will be skimmed over, quite a lot of comments
[17:12:58] <mechanicjay> If you're interested I can do another db pull and generate another spreadsheet.
[17:15:15] <weeds> mechanicjay: If it is not a distraction, yes I would be interested
[17:22:12] <paulej72> weeds from my own ovservations, the highest comment articles are about the site and are controversial. The next highes ones are split between site news and controversial subjects. Sicentific news with dirt or nerd news is next and the plain scientific news is last.
[17:22:22] <xlefay> morning
[17:22:33] <mattie_p> hey folks
[17:22:44] <mechanicjay> hey guys
[17:23:08] <n1> sounds about right, paulej72
[17:24:09] <mechanicjay> weeds: http://archives.smbfc.net
[17:26:24] <mechanicjay> If you sort the column by hit/comment ratio, the data is pretty interesting as well
[17:44:26] -!- Cyprus [Cyprus!~Cyprus@localhost] has joined #staff
[18:11:24] <Bytram> Hi! I'm kinda stuck here. I want to submit a journal article as a story, but can't find the place to do it. Suggestions?
[18:11:37] <Bytram> mattie_p: Hey! HI! How are you and your kid?
[18:12:52] <n1> afaik there isnt a way to transfer, you'll have to manually copy/paste I think.
[18:13:25] <Bytram> that's strange. I thought for sure there was a way to submit a journal article as a story!
[18:14:37] <n1> i havnt even looked at the journals yet, so i dont know for sure
[18:15:34] <Bytram> n1: ok. will paste it in for now. brb
[18:27:23] <Bytram> n1: finally, here it is: http://soylentnews.org
[18:27:44] <Bytram> afk brb
[18:40:06] <mattie_p> hey Bytram. things are doing ok. she's making some progress
[18:40:29] <Bytram> mattie_p: YAY!!!!!!
[18:40:41] <Bytram> mattie_p: and how are YOU?
[18:41:04] <mattie_p> I'm a little tired but I'm ok. Got a solid 5 hours sleep last night because she was knocked out
[18:41:53] <mattie_p> she is starting to feel her oats and getting stubborn which is a good sign
[18:42:00] <Bytram> good for you!
[18:42:02] <Bytram> LOL!
[18:42:11] <mattie_p> she really wants to go home, and we want her home so trying to use that as motivation
[18:42:45] <Bytram> I've become convinced, based on so many times experiencing it in my own life, that "The shortest distance between despair and hope is a good night's sleep."
[18:43:14] <Bytram> sounds like she's a real trooper!
[18:43:28] <mattie_p> well, she got about 3 hours then 5 hours, so that is progress
[18:43:35] <mattie_p> just needs to keep food down now
[18:43:54] <Bytram> oh. Yeah, that's tough.
[18:44:50] <mattie_p> can't go home until that happens
[18:45:29] <Bytram> well, my (thankfully few) stays in the hospital were not conducive to a good appetite. :/
[18:53:37] <mattie_p> true, but it needs to happen. she's on some anti-vomiting medicine now, so we'll see if that helps
[18:54:06] <Bytram> I certainly hope it helps!
[18:54:28] <Bytram> The smells in a hospital certainly doesn't help.
[18:54:36] <Bytram> s/doesn't/don't/
[18:54:59] <Bytram> btw, does she have a favorite snack that you could bring in?
[19:00:29] <mattie_p> Bytram, you beat me to the punch on >
[19:00:53] <Bytram> sry! :/
[19:01:09] <mattie_p> but I proved it worked in comment titles :)
[19:01:45] <Bytram> you *could* reply to *my* post and provide: &lt; and &amp;
[19:02:23] <Bytram> then I could reply with a pointer to a site with a complete list of character entities.
[19:02:39] <Bytram> mattie_p: Good one! I forgot about that!
[19:02:50] <mattie_p> nah, if you can't find that yourself, you have no business on the site
[19:03:06] <mattie_p> well, I knew what to do because I had a story I posted a long time ago where I had the issue
[19:03:45] <mattie_p> I think html-specific symbols are susceptible, due to input sanitization in slashcode
[19:03:57] <Bytram> ding ding ding!
[19:05:26] <xlefay> mechanicjay, ping
[19:05:42] <mattie_p> input sanitization == very good
[19:05:56] <mattie_p> we don't want bobby tables here

[19:07:42] <mattie_p> I just want to know how the secretary said that over the telephone

[20:40:33] <Bytram> and then some! Fun discussion!
[20:41:41] <mattie_p> yeah, the internet/religion one is getting some fun comments too
[20:41:56] <mattie_p> I like this one: http://soylentnews.org
[20:42:40] <mattie_p> I wish I had mod points today for that
[20:42:49] <mattie_p> anyway, back in a few
[20:43:30] <Bytram> looking at it now; cya later
