[16:15:09] <Blackmoore> :P
[16:15:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> prescribed by my doctor =P
[16:15:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> doesn't mean i can't enjoy them.
[16:16:08] <Blackmoore> see, all i can get around here is meth.. and frankly I'm pretty sure it isnt even real stuff
[16:16:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> plenty of that around here too. chucklehead next door used to cook it.
[16:17:10] <Blackmoore> I'd take the pharma grade amphetamines on occasion. it would help against the depression
[16:17:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> damned sure does
[16:17:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> helps with the adhd as well, though i'm still of the opinion that adhd is more a character trait than an illness.
[16:19:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> not 100% effective either. i still want to choke a bitch when they interrupt me while i'm coding for something short of my house being on fire and me not having noticed.
[16:19:09] <Blackmoore> I hear extacsy wooks really well against depresion. (so well that the pharma wanted the use banned)
[16:19:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> probably does but man the side effects...
[16:19:42] <TK> Doesn't most street molly contain meth anyway?
[16:20:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> TK, no idea
[16:20:31] <Blackmoore> it's stupid difficult to determine what is in the blackmarket goods.

[16:21:00] <Blackmoore> we'll want a full report
[16:21:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> know i lost 15lbs since i got on this shat though. best side effect ever.
[16:22:01] <Blackmoore> that's why they used to sell those as diet pills.

[16:22:47] <ar> (regarding the excel submission from a few minutes ago)
[16:22:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> ar, no disagreement from me.
[16:23:09] <TK> You can import data as is.
[16:23:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> spreadsheets are the tools of folks who should not be playing with data.
[16:23:25] <TK> I get that crap a lot when excel strips off leading zeroes
[16:24:25] <TK> That's a little harsh.
[16:24:38] <TK> It's a tool for the masses, no more, no less.
[16:24:45] <cykros> wow, i hadn't seen beta on the old site in awhile...they made sure to throw it back in my face though, just to remind me why i haven't bothered logging in or doing much outside of skimming headlines...
[16:24:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> only slightly. beancounters are the bane of many an admin.
[16:25:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> cykros, i've only hit the site once since SN launched. when someone mentioned us the other day.
[16:25:51] <TK> Here's your solution: make an excel macro that changes SUM() to 1.25*SUM()
[16:25:59] <TK> install that on every manager's computer
[16:26:56] <cykros> TheMightyBuzzard: i never removed it from my RSS reader. Once in awhile they still get articles that otherwise slip through the cracks elsewhere, and I figure there's no point in punishing myself. But on the same logic, I generally don't read the comments there anymore...it's gotten pretty vacuous.
[16:27:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> right, i just checked the old mental reservoir and i've got absolutely nothing left for coding at the moment.
[16:28:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> cykros, most of the good commenters left. more that didn't had to suffer through substandard comments and left because of that. recurse as necessary until site loses everyone worth reading comments from.
[16:30:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't believe they're still beta-ing beta though. either drop it or roll it out.
[16:31:00] <TK> I don't recall, was a final rollout date announced?
[16:31:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> dunno but we've gone from zero to 90% ready subscriptions in like two weeks
[16:32:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> their code monkey crew needs fired if just me and PJ can do that what with having to build the entire back end and rewrite half of the front end
[16:33:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> and we have day jobs
[16:35:26] <TK> Motivation(Passion) > Motivation(Money)
[16:36:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, nah i can't buy that. i'll drop SN in a heartbeat if it starts interfering with me getting to eat regularly.
[16:37:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> you guys is da bomb but you don't put pizza on the table n scotch in the glass.
[16:38:27] <TK> Motivation(Scotch) > Motivation(Passion) > Motivation(Money)
[16:38:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> there ya go

[17:12:18] <ar> cykros: the comments there are worse than ever
[17:23:50] <crutchy> excel is handy for engineers. like any tool, you need to be aware of traps. if you're not aware that excel converts text in a certain format (even manually entered, doesn't do it just for imported) then you prolly need to bone up a bit more i guess
[17:24:19] -!- n1 has quit []
[17:25:01] <crutchy> before using for important work
[17:26:59] <crutchy> manually entered date conversion is usually a bit more obvious though... after typing value and pressing enter (or tab or whatever) is usually followed by a stream of expletives
[17:28:38] <Blackmoore> I use excell every damn day; and yeah, those guys should have been using at the very least explicitly defined columns
[17:28:57] <Blackmoore> and a database would have been a better tool.
[17:31:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> a database is always a better tool if it's too much for pencil and paper.
[17:31:30] <crutchy> for big data excel isn't great. it wasn't till excel 2007 that it could handle more than 32k rows
[17:31:57] <crutchy> (or whatever the limit was)
[17:32:42] <crutchy> i usually bash out a little delphi program for any kind of mass data reduction
[17:33:25] <crutchy> usually quicker than excel in the long run anyway
[17:33:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. you might use a spreadsheet for quick calculations that you have to do regularly but, and let me stress this, it is NOT a data storage medium.
[17:33:47] <crutchy> true dat
[17:34:28] <crutchy> i'm using TEDDS for Word more now for scratchpad stuff cos its easier for the checker
[17:34:56] <crutchy> it's like excel but wysiwyg
[17:35:04] <crutchy> no hidden formulas
[17:35:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> really if you need more than a few minutes worth of speed-up over pencil and paper or calculator, get something written for you that uses a db.
[17:35:07] <ar> crutchy: what about R or ipython notebook?
[17:36:01] <crutchy> ar, never heard of those
[17:36:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> believe it's pie-nap time
[17:37:11] <crutchy> TheMightyBuzzard, excel is good cos it gets around one of the big drawbacks of pencil and paper; if you fuck something up its easy to correct
[17:37:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, eraser
[17:38:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> anyway, pie then pillow. back later
[17:38:12] <crutchy> yeah but when you gotta erase a whole page of comps it takes time, and when you got 4 hours budgeted for a job, thats usually too much time

[19:53:45] * crutchy wonders whether some of the hatred is bandwagon-driven
[19:54:25] <Brylarke> Probably
[19:55:22] <crutchy> there are some things that shit me in php, coming from a delphi background, but php has its uses
[19:55:22] <Brylarke> On the flip side some of the 'defenders' probably haven't used anything else too and so don't make comparisons
[19:55:38] <crutchy> no doubt
[19:56:24] <crutchy> they should rename php to q&d
[19:57:30] <crutchy> for quick & dirty, or queer & drunk etc
[19:58:27] <crutchy> for all its annoyances, i can bash a tool out in php way quicker than i could something equivalent with delphi
[19:59:06] <Brylarke> Well that's what I thought when I used it
[19:59:20] <Brylarke> Apart from a) I then wasted time maintaining it
[19:59:45] <Brylarke> b) I started using python and then noticed PHP wasn't really fast in comparison
[19:59:54] <crutchy> i only maintain one php app and haven't had much troubles
[20:00:32] <crutchy> would be nice is php run a bit quicker, particularly for analysing FEA results :/
[20:00:36] <crutchy> but it runs ok

[20:01:20] <crutchy> TheMightyBuzzard, that's why i have avoided python
[20:01:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> perl, crutchy, perl. it is the language for you.
[20:02:37] <Brylarke> Ive never understood people#s fascination with whitespace
[20:02:40] <crutchy> i did try, and the language didn't even appear too arse-about to learn, but wtf is up with the cryptic error messages
[20:02:52] <Brylarke> Especially as people argue over it anyway, language feature or not -_-
[20:03:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> Brylarke, i don't have one. i'm just against something you can't, by definition, see breaking stuff.

[20:06:00] * crutchy has sort of adapted the borland pascal convention to php :p
[20:06:01] <Brylarke> You do get freaks using 3 or 8 width tabs though
[20:06:14] <Brylarke> Ruining it for everybody
[20:06:35] <crutchy> 8 width tabs does unreadable code make

[20:09:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, a punk/biker/deadhead/programmer/fisherman. i am a damned case study in weird contradictions.
[20:09:50] <crutchy> lol
[20:10:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, the key is learning how to not get pissed off.
[20:10:24] <crutchy> yeah i could imagine getting frustrated
[20:10:38] <crutchy> i'm pretty anal about my code convention
[20:11:18] <Brylarke> Meh, just get tools to check it for you
[20:11:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> like ole PJ just came along n said you know that work you did the past two days? scrap it, we're doing it another way. and i'm like sure, that's probably better anyway.
[20:12:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> paraphrased, he ain't that blunt or insensitive.
[20:12:10] <crutchy> i don't mind refactoring. i've binned many hours of work to try a way that i thought would be better
[20:12:15] <crutchy> ha
[20:12:33] <crutchy> its easy to make a backup
[20:13:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> refactoring, rewriting, and fighting over who gets to abuse dev at any given time are the only stress points that might crop up.
[20:13:18] <crutchy> Brylarke, my tools for php are gedit and bash|browser (depends on app)
[20:13:54] <Brylarke> I mean like checkers and stuff
[20:14:30] <Brylarke> Stuff you can wave at other people
[20:14:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> me, i just let whoever wants dev the most have at it since everyone outranks me. gives me more time for fishing anyway.
[20:14:40] <crutchy> if only i had that luxury
[20:15:16] <crutchy> i'm a one man band
[20:15:36] <crutchy> i have application testers, but no code review
[20:15:50] <Brylarke> Programs I mean
[20:15:59] <crutchy> oh
[20:16:09] <crutchy> i'm too dumb to know what they are :p
[20:16:32] <crutchy> i suppose if i needed one i could roll one
[20:16:56] <crutchy> i made a code doc library to help me find where functions are used etc
[20:19:02] <Brylarke> ewww, don't do that yourself
[20:19:16] <Brylarke> That's effort
[20:19:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, that's why god gave you grep
[20:19:37] <crutchy> apparently i'm a reinventor of wheels
[20:19:59] <crutchy> at least its on my own time
[20:20:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[20:21:04] * crutchy should learn to use grep
[20:21:07] <crutchy> seems handy
[20:21:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> grep -rIHn "imaFunction" /where/to/look/below
[20:21:57] <crutchy> so many things to learn
[20:22:16] <crutchy> unfortunately i don't get paid to learn them
[20:22:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd be soooooo freakin lost without it
[20:22:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> like where does getCurrentStatic come from and how do i get it into my script?
[20:22:55] <crutchy> i often wonder how anyone could find their way around something like slashcode
[20:23:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> grep -rIHN "stuff" /where AND find /where -name Subscribe.pm
[20:23:46] <crutchy> in my work app i prefixed functions with the name of the file its defined in just so i could find a bit easier. you guys are prolly hurling at the thought
[20:23:55] <Brylarke> o.0
[20:24:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, would take an insane amount of rewriting to make things that simple
[20:24:54] <crutchy> disadvantage is makes hard to relocate a function to a different file
[20:24:56] <Brylarke> SublimeText just tells me where everything is used
[20:25:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> IDEs are for them who can't use grep, find, and Data::Dumper
[20:25:14] <crutchy> lol i don't even use IDEs
[20:25:15] <ciri> rofl
[20:25:24] <crutchy> ciri, you're a bucket
[20:25:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, i keep ignoring ciri and it keeps getting lost
[20:25:56] <crutchy> ciri drops the odd bomb in #
[20:26:08] <crutchy> i think its got the most bender quotes there
[20:26:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> bite my shiny metal ass is all you really need
[20:26:25] <ciri> Oh yeah bite me TheMightyBuzzard
[20:26:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> though the one about blackjack and hookers is also good
[20:27:24] <crutchy> Quote 5 - <ciri> Oooops... Sorry folks! My utf-8 testing to do me actions without that space, it's currently....... 42 Dafuq.
[20:27:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> !quote TheMightyBuzzard
[20:27:59] <Bender> Quote 188 - <TheMightyBuzzard> no biggie, just had to decide where to put it.
[20:28:03] <Bender> Also in quotes: 189, 191, 203, 204
[20:28:42] <crutchy> Quote 7 - <ciri> Oh, i don't think he had a fair bit of breathing room when it comes into this boys hole.
[20:29:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i'll write a hexchat handler to do a !grab <lastpersontospeak> on /grab and make a /grab hotkey
[20:29:23] <crutchy> ooh nasty :p
[20:29:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> put it in place of my coffee++
[20:30:00] <crutchy> gathp!
[20:30:30] <crutchy> maybe insert it before coffee++, so that after it grabs it coffees
[20:30:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> coffee++ can move up one to the M4 button
[20:30:39] <Bender> karma - coffee: 512
[20:30:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> oooh, handy
[20:31:12] <crutchy> M4 button? are you in a missile silo?
[20:31:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> have five macro buttons. razer blackwidow keyboard.
[20:31:54] <crutchy> ah
[20:32:20] <crutchy> hmm
[20:32:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> well not so much macro as do whatever i feel like making you do. they would be only macro buttons in windows but i am not currently cursed with that OS
[20:33:15] * crutchy wonders if he could make use of his atmega128 and rs232 to usb cable to hook up a sort of hotkey panel
[20:33:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> damn skippy you could
[20:35:26] <ar> coffee--
[20:35:26] <Bender> karma - coffee: 511
[20:35:37] <crutchy> coffee++
[20:35:38] <Bender> karma - coffee: 512
[20:35:48] <crutchy> 512 is a nice number
[20:36:18] <crutchy> 512 bytes should be more than enough for anyone!
[20:38:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> not NCommander. he can barely tell you what time it is in 512 bytes. =P
[20:38:09] <crutchy> lol
[20:39:23] <crutchy> shh he might be watching, with an anvil at the ready
[20:40:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> he needs a bit of abuse now and then. builds character.
[20:41:52] <crutchy> as long as its utf-8
[20:43:29] <crutchy> i haven't got a small hotkey panel. maybe i could use a normal kb. i gots one of those spare
[20:43:49] <crutchy> 104 hotkey panel :p
[20:49:11] <crutchy> i suppose i had better 'get up'
[20:49:57] <crutchy> two red hot jobs to work on todday :/

[20:56:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay so it WILL be dropping like a rock later this evening.
[20:56:21] <crutchy> i'm not much of a weatherologist (sorry couldn't think of proper name this early)
[20:56:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> right, which is why you hook into weatherunderground's api

[20:57:14] <crutchy> only reason i knew about the aprs was cos i needed it sometimes for flight testing in my old job

[20:58:42] <crutchy> oh wow haven't seen that
[20:58:51] <crutchy> have you seen how the weather script works?
[20:58:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah
[20:58:58] <crutchy> its a bit unco
[20:59:04] <crutchy> nothing api'ish
[20:59:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> best ones really are
[20:59:31] <crutchy> scrape n parse, scrape n parse
[21:00:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean look at slash. it's insanely badly coordinated and yet it makes for one hell of a stable, high-traffic website.
[21:01:23] <chromas> Now, when you say "stable"...
[21:01:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, how much downtime have we had, considering it's a this year site?
[21:02:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> once you get the beasty running, for a given value of running, it stays that way unless you set the servers on fire.
[21:02:30] <mechanicjay> TheMightyBuzzard: I don't think we've been seriously down / off the air since the first month or so of launch.
[21:02:30] <chromas> More than pipedot :D
[21:03:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. i haven't noticed or heard of any downtime to speak of if we've had it.
[21:04:22] -!- mechanicjay has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[21:04:54] <crutchy> we need our monthly crisis dammit!
[21:05:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh we already had that. our backup server was down for like 4-5 days
[21:05:15] <crutchy> someone should write period.pl to crash the server once a month
[21:06:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> relax. we're going to start dealing with money soon and will have a MUCH higher potential of quality of fuck ups.
[21:07:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> PJ just tagged in on the paypal daemon, which has the potential for us to utterly fail to get paid or not notice chargebacks that have happened.
[21:09:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i did, however, make damned sure that anyone who chargebacks us gets their subscription nuked.
[21:10:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> no subscribe, chargeback, keep subscription and money for j00

[22:11:30] <crutchy> i should make a little coffee++ script for exec that repeats every 5 minutes :p
[22:11:57] <crutchy> hmm that would be annoying
[22:12:02] <crutchy> maybe every 30 mins
[22:13:04] <juggs> wouldn't that completely destroy the point of having ++ whoup at all?
[22:13:58] <crutchy> prolly. i dunno. does it have a point atm?
