[15:15:33] <cmn32480> like in the shower....
[15:15:26] <cmn32480> that only happens when they get wet.
[15:15:00] <janrinok> might*
[15:14:55] <janrinok> your personal rapport skills mind be getting a little rusty
[15:13:16] <cmn32480> I wish you the best in the shower
[15:13:11] <Bytram> ooops, gtg, biab
[15:13:11] <cmn32480> thanks bytram
[15:13:04] <Bytram> thanks
[15:12:57] <Bytram> cmn32480: b4 I forget -- I wish you thebest on your vacation/trip!
[15:12:57] <janrinok> all the stats are ballpark - and no less impressive for that
[15:12:37] <Bytram> thanks
[15:12:32] <cmn32480> ^^^ what he said
[15:12:18] <janrinok> np - if you name them you will miss somebody, the way it is done no-one can complain
[15:12:07] <Bytram> ah, I sit correct3ed on the san guine
[15:11:53] <Bytram> yeah, I did not intend to include XL, but I might have by accident -- miss the guy
[15:11:42] <janrinok> ns did - xlefay hasn't been seen
[15:11:39] <cmn32480> started commenting... but nothign more
[15:11:23] <Bytram> and I thought he popped back in a while ago, right?
[15:11:20] <cmn32480> hasn't been active in 6mos
[15:11:16] <janrinok> xlefay I think was counted - he moved on at the end of last year
[15:11:08] <Bytram> nope, that is not sanguine
[15:10:55] <Bytram> gurgle
[15:10:52] <cmn32480> nt-sand-guine
[15:10:43] <janrinok> ah, the phantom showerer returns
[15:10:34] <Bytram> janrinok: i am curious who I included who had left the team?
[15:10:15] <Bytram> cmn32480: ISTR I *did* include him -- n-one (or something like that)
[14:54:03] <cmn32480> yes it is
[14:52:23] <janrinok> but an interesting set of statistics in any case
[14:51:11] <cmn32480> correct again
[14:49:49] <janrinok> and it doesn't include those who have contributed code but are not formally part of the dev or sys teams
[14:49:05] <cmn32480> true
[14:47:58] <janrinok> well, as he included some who have long left our team the figure is about right
[14:46:28] <cmn32480> bytram left n1/nikc off his list of staff
[14:46:06] <cmn32480> janrinok !!
[14:46:03] <cmn32480> oh yes.. I seem to be forgetting this a lot lately
[14:45:31] <cmn32480> insert a coffee IV and thigns shoudl be managable
[14:45:19] <cmn32480> me too
[14:45:07] <janrinok> I'm sure the boy will be fine - his father, I am less certain about :)
[14:44:31] <cmn32480> as long as the boy (or his father) dont' turn into complete grumps, it ought to be fine
[14:44:15] <cmn32480> me too
[14:44:12] <cmn32480> she sent me out on the last minute grocery shopping and dropping the littel one at school
[14:44:06] <janrinok> I hope that the 3 of you enjoy your weekend together
[14:43:47] <cmn32480> I think so.
[14:43:42] <cmn32480> getting the kids stuff ready for the grandparents
[14:43:36] <janrinok> is J excited?
[14:43:22] <cmn32480> we are spending the day getting packed.
[14:43:21] <janrinok> ah, a full day of what?

[14:17:19] <janrinok> were you expecting us to comment on your showering habits, or were you pondering some deep and meaningful statement on the futility of life?
[14:06:25] <Bytram> afk
[14:06:25] <Bytram> nvm
[14:04:42] <Bytram> hmmm
[14:03:05] <Bytram> afk; back in a while
[14:02:56] <Bytram> time for me to hit the showers...
[13:44:59] * nick hat tip
[13:44:54] <janrinok> :)
[13:44:48] <janrinok> np - thanks for the input
[13:44:43] <nick> i shall be back later to again make life more difficult ;)
[13:44:26] <nick> sorry for going on about that, janrinok, my spelling and grammar might be for shit; but stuff like that gets to me
[13:41:28] <janrinok> Bytram: done - looks good
[13:38:37] <Bytram> janrinok: I made one update; pls 2nd
[13:38:31] <Bytram> laundry (again) biab;
[13:37:11] <nick> especially when half of the features that are possibly note worthy are 'coming soon, hopefully'
[13:36:56] <nick> using the alternative.to as context, a proprietary messenger app with 2 thumbs up on alternative.to doesn't feel worthy of note
[13:36:54] <Bytram> yes, thanks. got distracted. on my way!
[13:36:41] <janrinok> Bytram: you saw my note about your story - it's in the queue
[13:36:32] <Bytram> though it does seem to promise one-stop privacy for all your comm needs, but that is 'in-the-future' for a goodly chunk of it, too.
[13:36:01] <nick> pretty much
[13:35:26] <Bytram> nothing about it sticks out as being different than all the others out there, right?
[13:35:07] <Bytram> this sounds more like a 'me-too' app?
[13:35:00] <nick> yeah, it can be quite subtle, but there is a distinction
[13:34:41] <Bytram> yeah, I cannot put my finger on it, but I get the same 'vibe' -- in contrast to, say, the XPoint-related stories -- which seem to also discuss new/breaking technologies
[13:34:34] <nick> is features that might be coming soon
[13:34:30] <nick> and the only thing that the article adds beyond the information available on the app store descriptions
[13:34:08] <nick> but nothing says that app does anything of the sort, except the product description promises
[13:33:49] <nick> security and privacy is important
[13:33:41] <nick> i have no problem with that
[13:33:07] <nick> as soon as i saw that story it jumped out at the screen at me with sirens ringing
[13:33:03] <janrinok> well, one of the additional links I put in there was for a whole list of similar apps, it seems the people want their privacy
[13:32:57] <nick> i might be taking it to the extreme, but as i mentioned last night
[13:32:32] <nick> which im not all that sure of as being a good fit for this site
[13:32:23] <Bytram> we kinda figured that out, but thanks for the confirmation!
[13:32:20] <nick> my comment was a bit rambling, but all the story would serve as is publicity for a proprietary communication software
[13:32:03] <janrinok> I've deleted it - about 5-10 mins ago
[13:31:57] <Bytram> okay, I'll leave the date/time for the gutter and ALSO flag it as NOT display.
[13:31:33] <nick> i do not
[13:31:30] <Bytram> nick: so, do you still want to run it or not?
[13:31:26] <nick> takyon and myself had a discussion about it last night and left the note on that basis
[13:30:47] * Bytram just finished reading the notes.
[13:30:40] <Bytram> nod nod
[13:30:28] <CoolHand> it sounds like several editors notes against it.. so may be intentional by janrinok
[13:29:38] <Bytram> hmmm
[13:29:05] <nick> so maybe intentional

[13:29:03] <Bytram> here's the link: https://soylentnews.org
[13:28:54] <CoolHand> go ahead bytram - i was just looking
[13:28:52] <nick> it looks like janrinok edited it after i added the note
[13:28:32] <CoolHand> yeah it shows all 0's on release time date
[13:28:31] <Bytram> now opening it for edit...
[13:28:04] <Bytram> got it!
[13:28:02] <Bytram> I had an old list of stories in a tab; trying to load story now
[13:27:58] <CoolHand> I see it shows on bottom that you are in the story
[13:27:51] <nick> im on a different computer now, i didnt want to do a hit and run note leaving :p
[13:27:35] <Bytram> hmm
[13:27:29] <nick> i only edited the note and set it back to not-display
[13:27:26] <Bytram> nick: can you do a 'back' in your browser?
[13:27:04] <Bytram> maybe the time got updated and it ended up in the bottom of the queue -- there is no error checking on that field and I've made that mistake a couple times, myself. :/
[13:26:29] <CoolHand> I haven't deleted anything..
[13:26:18] <Bytram> nick: not I
[13:26:16] <Bytram> janrinok: k
[13:23:40] <nick> did someone just delete the stealthchat story after i added to the note?
[13:23:18] <nick> ahoy
[13:20:09] <janrinok> Bytram: its in the queue - have another look at it before it goes out in a few hours time

[13:10:18] <janrinok> brb - tea time
[13:10:13] <janrinok> the only problem with reskey is the timing considerations. The flood prevention imposes a delay between reskey request and the post submission
[13:09:43] <Bytram> I have an idea on getting the actual subscriber count... back in a bit
[13:09:31] <Bytram> would be nice, and much appreciated.
[13:08:49] <janrinok> would you like your story to go out sometime today, we can fit it in anywhere
[13:08:15] <Bytram> works fine for GET operations, haven't tried to implement posts (and that reskey stuff) yet.
[13:07:55] <janrinok> watch the page hits spike!
[13:07:49] <Bytram> I have written a generic SN_API program that uses curl to submit a query and send the results to a file;
[13:07:37] <janrinok> or more correctly, Arthur has that ability, but doesn't post comments currently
[13:07:20] * Bytram pictures a buncha nerds sending their trigger bots out tryuing to submit 100 comments at once to attain the 'magic' number
[13:07:00] <janrinok> there is, Arthur uses it, but I wouldn't be writing a script just to get a free sub
[13:06:42] <Bytram> nod nod; but I see no need to *encourage* it!
[13:06:28] <janrinok> but that might happen anyway
[13:06:22] <Bytram> IIRC there is a way, using the API, to submit a comment.
[13:06:20] <janrinok> good point
[13:06:06] <Bytram> might trigger a slew of spurious comment posts in trying to game the system
[13:05:50] <Bytram> I thought of that...
[13:05:25] <janrinok> that will get people watching the pages more closely
[13:05:01] <janrinok> how about - staff excluded cos they can game the system - we offer a free 12 months subscription to the 250,000th comment?
[13:04:30] <Bytram> =)
[13:04:27] <Bytram> looks that way... maybe we should start a pool?
[13:04:05] <janrinok> so we could hit the 250000 tomorrow or Friday...
[13:01:39] <Bytram> much obliged!
[13:01:32] <Bytram> from what I can tell from the site stats, we get on the order of 350-400 comments per day
[13:00:11] <Bytram> I have a note in the story asking who is going to get the 'magic' 250,000th comment (or something to that effect) so the story is a bit time sensitive.
[12:59:45] <janrinok> on it
[12:59:40] <Bytram> janrinok: yes, please!
[12:59:35] <Bytram> current, latest comment # is: 249368
[12:59:23] <Bytram> we are on the cusp of reaching comment #250,000
[12:59:21] <janrinok> do you want me to prepare it anyway - it won't go anywhere for several hours yet
[12:58:44] <Bytram> was hoping to get a firm number that could be edited in before the story goeslive
[12:58:31] <janrinok> but if you have the facts, it does sound more impressive
[12:58:28] <Bytram> for the time being, that works for me (I submitted the story at 0030 my time) so my recollection might be just a bit foggy!
[12:58:10] <janrinok> e.g. 'more than 20 staffers' - no-one can take offence at that
[12:57:40] <janrinok> if I were you, rather than spend too much time and effort chasing it, why not say 'around 200' or 'approx 6000' when you have any doubt
[12:56:53] <Bytram> on dev, yes. as far as I know, not on prod.
[12:56:36] <Bytram> hmmm
[12:56:34] <janrinok> looks like you are the only one on this chan with that sort of access
[12:56:13] <Bytram> k

[12:53:25] <Bytram> and front and center, tooo
[12:53:15] <Bytram> back
[12:46:49] <janrinok> lol
[12:46:28] <CoolHand> oh, I'll handle her.. don't worry.. I'll try to get a few stories up too (and 2nd'ed)..
[12:45:52] <janrinok> don't you go getting in trouble with your SO by spending too much time on your lappy while away
[12:45:05] <janrinok> well, you and cmn away, takyon is moving/has moved house (I think?) and n1 will probably be busy too
[12:44:23] <CoolHand> why is that?
[12:43:46] <janrinok> I hope you enjoy yourselves - looks like its going to be mighty busy around here :)
[12:43:08] <CoolHand> yeah, the wife and I are going on a little w/e motorcycle trip this weekend to southern Indiana... not too far, and should have some internet access to hop on and do stuff..
[12:42:22] <CoolHand> yikes... sorry.. :( good luck to her and you
[12:42:21] <janrinok> cmn32480 and J (+ eldest) go away today and get back sometime next week.
[12:41:30] <janrinok> she is not worrying about it, it is just something we have to manage
[12:41:15] <janrinok> personally not 2 bad - but S needs major operation in early Nov, so we are preparing her for that.
[12:40:30] <CoolHand> hru janrinok ?
[12:40:18] <janrinok> Bytram: k
[12:40:18] <CoolHand> it was NOT
[12:40:08] <janrinok> glad to hear that you are better - and it doesn't sound very pleasant

[12:39:34] <CoolHand> better... had an emergency root canal/temp cron on Monday afternoon... so pain from that friday-Monday, then lots of pain Monday evening and yesterday morning, but all better now..
[12:39:24] <Bytram> sry; laundry called

[04:11:16] <Bytram> I just pushed out a submission that is somewhat time-sensitive because I provide stats for several aspects of this site

[03:38:10] <chromas> sure
[03:38:02] <Bytram> I appreciate your honesty, but if something were to go south with the wiki, would you guys not be the ones to help getting it straightened out?
[03:37:16] <Bytram> LOL!
[03:37:10] <chromas> but we get paid the same :)

[03:34:22] <Bytram> That looks to be 19 names, so I'm guessing 20 is "close enough" for the number of staffers who keep this whole thing running.
[03:33:41] <Bytram> so, I'm sure I left someone off -- please accept my apologies as it is nearly midnight (in my timezone) and I am very tired.

[03:06:29] <Bytram> http://feedproxy.google.com
[03:06:27] Bytram|away is now known as Bytram
[02:26:58] cmn32480 is now known as cmn32480|sleepin
[02:25:26] * cmn32480 comes out of the corner and decides to go to bed
[01:51:58] * cmn32480 heads for the corner again.....
[01:51:27] <cmn32480> I think I was seconding and started messing wiht the time without thinking...
[01:50:11] <cmn32480> I think I know what I did....
[01:50:05] <cmn32480> ahhhh shit...
[01:48:43] <cmn32480> well.. I'm trying to channel a little Bytram|away while he is busy on the holiday season at work.
[01:48:13] <cmn32480> ok
[01:47:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm fine with it not being able to count right tonight
[01:46:34] <cmn32480> probably jsut enough to drive the buzzard a little more nuts
[01:46:01] <cmn32480> it might be a bug
[01:45:22] <takyon> in rapid succession
[01:45:19] <takyon> and added the science paper link
[01:45:15] <takyon> i seconded the story
[01:44:40] <nick> it shows 2 signs offs by takyon and 2 by you, that seems wrong then
[01:43:26] <cmn32480> yup
[01:43:16] <nick> the RNA story?
[01:41:47] <cmn32480> I opend to re-edit to fix the author, saved it, and now the story was seconded
[01:41:26] <cmn32480> and then I posted it without noticing
[01:41:15] <takyon> uwut
[01:41:14] <cmn32480> It landed on takyon.
[01:41:03] <cmn32480> and didn't realize it
[01:40:56] <cmn32480> hit the mouse wheel and must have scrolled the "Author" box
[01:40:49] <nick> i see a story that was signed off by you and takyon
[01:40:38] <cmn32480> i was editing an article
[01:40:26] <nick> that does not make sense to me?
[01:39:22] <cmn32480> turns out, if you change the author, you can second the story'
[01:39:05] <cmn32480> by accident
[01:39:02] <cmn32480> I think I jsut seconded my own story
[01:38:54] <cmn32480> a little
[01:38:51] <cmn32480> giggle
[01:38:45] <cmn32480> ach
[01:36:35] <nick> this is true, i think thats the option ive generally taken... has happened a few times, choose between jobs/contracts trying to figure out which one is trying to screw me over the least
[01:36:12] <cmn32480> and even if it sounds too good to be true, it sometimes goes from "too good to be true" to that was not as good as expected, but we still made a tidy profit"
[01:35:29] <cmn32480> some fo the too good to be true stuff has actaully panned out
[01:35:02] <cmn32480> generally I find that if the question is "could it really be that bad" the answer is "yes, it can"
[01:34:26] <nick> lol
[01:34:07] <cmn32480> so... not really different from what I do on a daily basis
[01:33:24] <cmn32480> but that is just with knowing absolutely nothign abotu any of it and pulling an answer out of my ass
[01:32:59] <cmn32480> >
[01:32:56] <cmn32480> <too good to be true
[01:32:42] * cmn32480 squints
[01:32:07] <nick> and the results?
[01:30:29] <cmn32480> I also check my magic 8ball
[01:30:14] * cmn32480 rolls the dice
[01:29:44] <nick> do you choose the 'too good to be true' contract or the 'could it really be that bad?' contract?
[01:28:48] <nick> guess you're right
[01:26:12] <cmn32480> if you knew all the answers, it'd be too easy
[01:26:03] <cmn32480> not knowing is what makes life an adventure!
[01:25:46] <nick> how that will work i dont quite know lol
[01:24:51] <cmn32480> gotcha
[01:24:40] <nick> got to finish off some stuff before switching gears and making the new work like 50% of my hours
[01:23:26] <nick> it should work, things are pretty clear and its a case of if it works on this project
[01:21:57] <cmn32480> that makes it complicated for sure
[01:21:41] <cmn32480> oh
[01:21:12] <nick> i'm trying to help someone else expand
[01:21:01] <cmn32480> complicated keeps us getting a paycheck
[01:20:30] <cmn32480> if it was simple, they'd do it themselves
[01:20:13] <nick> but as always, it's complicated
[01:20:03] <cmn32480> ahhh
[01:19:59] <nick> just more property development bullshit
[01:19:48] <cmn32480> if you'ld rather not, that's ok.
[01:19:27] <cmn32480> can you share what the new gig is or no?
[01:18:06] <nick> feels like it has been a while
[01:17:45] <cmn32480> I'm glad it went well. always nice when a friend has good news
[01:17:22] <cmn32480> sweet
[01:17:14] <nick> yeah, a week or so before it starts, going to be interesting.
[01:16:48] <cmn32480> good :-) new gig out of it?
[01:16:32] <nick> yeah it went well, thanks
[01:16:05] <cmn32480> how'd the meeting go nick?
[01:15:31] <cmn32480> he is the AEIC, I think
[01:15:16] <nick> i might be a bit obsessive about that kind of thing sometimes, which is why i make sure to ask for opinions
[01:14:59] <cmn32480> we can let zz_janrinok look in the morning.
[01:14:39] <cmn32480> the argument for no display is a fair one
[01:14:38] <nick> the story really stood out to me, when i looked at the queue
[01:14:12] <nick> can be easier just to ask sometimes :)
[01:13:50] * cmn32480 goes to sit in the corner again
[01:13:44] <cmn32480> before opening my big mouth
[01:13:36] <cmn32480> no.. I didn't read the scroll back
[01:11:45] <takyon> ehhh it's ok. I probably would have ran it
[01:11:28] <takyon> and found a reddit account for the user just posting links to it
[01:11:27] <cmn32480> for the second time today.. I feel like a dumbass
[01:11:20] <takyon> nick made the argument it shouldn't be displayed
[01:11:11] <takyon> scroll up
[01:09:56] <cmn32480> takyon - why did the stealthchat story go to no display?
[00:40:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> awe...
[00:40:00] <takyon> it was an example lel
[00:13:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> really? sweet
[00:10:57] <takyon> so alongside the 18 None and 4 Hold we have at the moment... 1337 Deleted
[00:10:29] <takyon> they could be given a classification of "deleted"....
[00:09:58] <takyon> hang on
[00:09:29] <takyon> i'm talking submissions, not stories
[00:03:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> may just be a checkbox on the stories page to show deleted or not
[00:03:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, plus it lets you check ipids on them and such too
[00:02:55] <takyon> thanks
[00:02:29] <takyon> it's a feature that should exist since they persist... for example user pages list your own deleted submissions, which can be clicked and promoted to stories despite being deleted
[00:02:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> might whip up one later then.
[00:01:52] <takyon> I don't
[00:01:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> well if you can use the db, sure
[00:01:28] <takyon> like a chronological list of all submissions, since they still exist in the system
[00:01:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope. not that i know of.
[00:01:16] <takyon> is there a list of deleted submissions
[00:01:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, wut?
