[00:31:50] <cmn32480> the hill is steeper up this far Deucalion!
[00:40:55] <Deucalion> I understand that... we've just been overtaking mostly dormant teams so far(?)
[00:41:03] <cmn32480> prolly
[00:41:09] <cmn32480> and there are still a lot fo them ahead of us
[00:41:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> tell your computer hamster to run faster.
[00:41:28] <cmn32480> I gave him coffee this morning....
[00:41:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> give him a taste of the lash
[00:41:44] <Deucalion> give him some of TMB's meds tomorrow :D
[00:41:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> or that, yeah
[00:42:20] <cmn32480> tomorrow I'll give him double caff
[00:42:44] * cmn32480 wonders if they still sell "Jolt" cola...
[00:44:37] <Deucalion> ugh - I splatted a little annoying insectoid on my main screen yesterday... it seems to have fused its corpse to the thing by way of retaliation.... bang slap in the middle.... karma is real :D

[00:49:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, think i got a doubly linked list going and functions to push and pop from either end.
[00:54:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> will have Subsentient look at it next time he's around. make sure i didn't stupid more than usual.
[00:54:34] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: You are in luck, I just got home.
[00:56:55] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: got code?
[00:59:45] -!- julian has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:04:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, sure, hang on.
[01:05:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com
[01:05:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com
[01:05:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> started out being a fifo but that ended up not being what i wanted.
[01:08:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, nm, them was dated versions. hadn't hit save in a while
[01:08:54] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: yeah I noticed that code was pretty illegal in many places. Got newer code?
[01:08:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> regrab them if you already had them
[01:09:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> same links
[01:13:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i do get warnings compiling though. couple places i drop the const off a variable.
[01:16:23] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: You got a lot of missing headers, a lot of undeclared variables and constants, and a misuse of the static keyword, both in spirit and in the fact its initializer is not constant, on 104.
[01:17:24] <Subsentient> Also, missing function prototypes. You got a lot of functions you are calling from other functions defined BEFORE them. That will get you type errors at compilation.
[01:17:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> ah, yeah, i should add the three std libs i used in the test file i spose
[01:18:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod, didn't put the push/unshift in the headers yet
[01:18:20] <Subsentient> brb gotta p00p.
[01:18:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> which undeclared variables though?
[01:25:52] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Both STACK_ARR_SIZE and the arrc member are undeclared. if( strlen(c) < STACK_ARR_SIZE ) strcpy(p->arrc, c);
[01:26:07] <cmn32480> 💩
[01:26:08] * exec chucks a nasty sloppy dogshit at aqu4
[01:26:26] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Compile your code with -std=gnu99 -pedantic -Wall -g3 -O0 -fstrict-aliasing
[01:26:33] <Subsentient> That's probably the best way.
[01:26:41] <Subsentient> Will catch anything wonky.
[01:26:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, yar, already corrected after you said something about undeclared vars. that started as someone else's less nifty lifo.
[01:27:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> should be MAX_ELEMENT_SIZE and p->string respectively
[01:29:25] * Deucalion sits by the fire with a fine malt watching voodoo in action all around :)
[01:34:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> whew, that's a mess of errors. well, one at a time then.

[01:38:18] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Also, as a general advice, I recommend avoiding compiler extensions, like typeof, __attribute__, etc. It's better to write standards compliant code and I find it makes your code much more portable.

[01:55:12] <SirFinkus> I want one
[01:55:30] <SirFinkus> it might even be prettier than the 1911
[01:57:33] <cmn32480> blasphemer!
[01:57:51] <SirFinkus> no, I'm just radical
[01:58:07] <cmn32480> radical... and wrong
[01:58:08] <SirFinkus> I haven't crossed over to blasphemy
[02:00:21] <SirFinkus> I like the angled serrations (on a standard 1911 they're vertical) the rounded hammer, and the triangular grips
[02:00:28] <SirFinkus> gives it an art deco feel
[02:01:47] <SirFinkus> it also looks nicer for carrying, fewer sharp edges to get snagged
[02:04:55] * SirFinkus ponders whether it is still possible to hire someone to deliver a singing telegram
[02:05:23] <chromas> they'd probably get shot
[02:05:35] <SirFinkus> A kissogram, also called kissagram (short for kissing telegram), is a message delivered along with a kiss,[4] usually arranged as a fun surprise for a person for a special occasion. Message deliverers can be hired either by themselves, or as part of an agency. A kissogram is usually presented by a female or male performer dressed in a costume or uniform such as a police officer
[02:05:35] <SirFinkus> , nurse, french maid or nun.

[03:14:13] <nick> 1:06 AM UYST on Thursday, March 3
[03:15:27] <nick> ive tried it on two android phones and they both say its 1, but aside from them and linux mint's yahoo search
[03:15:32] <nick> everything else is going for midnight
[03:15:43] <cmn32480> what does the clock on the nightstand say?
[03:15:50] <nick> i dont have one
[03:15:54] <Deucalion> Ask a local?
[03:15:58] <cmn32480> clock on the VCR?
[03:16:00] <nick> but the clock in my hire car says its midnight
[03:16:02] <cmn32480> 12:00

[03:16:52] <Bytram> 00:00
[03:16:56] <Bytram> 12:00
[03:16:57] <nick> so this is just annoying
[03:16:58] <Bytram> 00:00
[03:17:00] <cmn32480> leave extra early
[03:17:12] <cmn32480> just in case you cross a time zone line or something
[03:17:13] <Bytram> so, call THEM up and ask what time it is?
[03:17:33] <nick> if id have figured it out earlier today i would have done
[03:18:43] <Deucalion> But on a serious note, if you have your bios set to UTC, then have ntpd running, then set your user login to your current locale you should be good. I remember the headaches dual-booting when windows would insist on writing local time to the BIOS rather than just adjusting user-space time per user as an offset.
[03:19:25] <Deucalion> Does windows still do that ir have they become more savvy in recent years?
[03:19:49] <nick> i havnt changed the clock on my laptop, that's still in UK time, but my phone with a local simcard doesnt know wtf
[03:19:59] <nick> androids default clock is just wrong on the timezone
[03:20:18] <Deucalion> Change your user TZ then
[03:22:51] <Deucalion> As far as I am concerned, hardware and base OS should always run on UTC. Localisation can be done on the per user or application basis as an offset.
[03:23:04] <nick> i cant with whatever the clock is, because it does it automatically and you cant adjust it
[03:23:23] <Deucalion> wtf phone is that?
[03:23:24] <nick> it only let me have it as my primary clock after i got a local SIM
[03:23:46] <nick> until then because i'd told it i was in the UK, it wouldnt let me have anything else as primary clock
[03:24:02] <nick> its an asus zenfone 5
[03:24:25] <Bytram> call them up and ask them to call you an hour before you are due there.
[03:25:19] <nick> i'll do that in the morning, either way now they're probably sleeping
[03:26:10] <Deucalion> ~shrug~ Work out the offset from local time to phone time and set alarm accordingly, or as we did in the olden days, use the wired phone to ask reception to give you an alarm call at a particular time.
[03:26:48] <nick> im going to have to do the offset, cant ask reception as i have rented an apartment
[03:27:41] <takyon> oo fixed it
[03:29:51] <Deucalion> Just hope it doesn't correct the system clock while you are asleep :) I miss those little analog travel alarm clocks... size of a matchbox, 1 AA battery, set and crash.
[03:29:52] <nick> ahhhh
[03:29:59] <nick> i figured out why this happens
[03:30:15] <nick> " On 30 June 2015, Uruguayan government decided to abolish DST from this year putting the country in UTC−3 all year round."
[03:30:28] <takyon> this code is terrible:
[03:30:29] <takyon> document.getElementById('autosaveState').style.transition='opacity 0s'; document.getElementById('autosaveState').style.opacity='1'; document.getElementById('autosaveState').offsetWidth = document.getElementById('autosaveState').offsetWidth; document.getElementById('autosaveState').style.transition='opacity 1s'; document.getElementById('autosaveState').style.opacity='0';
[03:30:52] <Deucalion> nick, and the phone OS does not have up to date TZ data?
[03:30:58] <takyon> the 0-second transition at the beginning and that offsetWidth hack are both needed to reset the transition
[03:31:10] <Deucalion> Thanks6 months ago :(
[03:31:14] <Deucalion> wtf
[03:31:18] <nick> Deucalion: i'm guessing so, same with the custom yahoo search
[03:31:30] <nick> but regular yahoo is fine
[03:32:50] <nick> right now i can go to bed
[03:32:54] <nick> g'night peoples

[03:34:51] <chromas> If your clock says "12:00" then it's set wrong
[03:34:56] <chromas> It should say "00:00"
[03:35:09] <cmn32480> only if it is flashing
[03:35:09] <Deucalion> It could be midday to be fair
[03:35:24] <Bytram> what time is one minute after noon?
[03:35:28] <Bytram> 12:01
[03:35:38] <Bytram> what is one minute before that? 12:00
[03:35:44] <chromas> Midday? That's not kind! Rewind! to the beginning of the day
[03:36:03] <Deucalion> I prefer 2 minutes to midnight... time pfft.... it's all relative
[03:36:33] <takyon> i just watched the wintergaten
[03:36:36] <takyon> wow
[03:37:03] <cmn32480> unreal right?
[03:37:18] <cmn32480> the guy has other videos on his site for how he built it all
[03:38:34] <takyon> ok now that I have the css transition working, I'll be able to tell when the thing autosaves. so I can test whether autosave is working, as well as to make sure it doesn't autosave after autosave is turned off
[03:39:18] <takyon> my first impression is that i need to switch from onchange to onkeydown so it will save as you type and not have to wait after the textbox loses focus
[03:47:22] <Deucalion> OK... www.google.co.uk no longer gives a search box simple page when accessed from a UK IP and using a script blocker - it fails hard. Selective allowing of scripts and request policy to google.com finally reveals they are forcing people to read their "privacy reminder".

[03:52:01] <takyon> amazing scope handling
[03:52:04] <cmn32480> yeah. the rest of us too
[03:52:52] <takyon> the use of the "var" keyword is not intuitive at all in javascript. but i've made a global timer that is cleared while you are continuously typing, so you only get one autosave instead of 50
[03:53:16] <takyon> now the last test is to make sure autosave is definitively disabled when you turn it off. and now that clearTimeout works that should be easy

[03:54:32] <Deucalion> This has to be a reaction to the current Investigatory Powers Bill currently tabled in the UK parliament for speedy passage. Like a shot over the bows... OK, you pass that bill, this is what we can do, you do know how many people think Google ~is~ the web? Nice tactical move from Google without being overt or shouty.

[04:08:41] <takyon> i'm just talking in between working on this code
[04:09:25] <takyon> I can do element.onkeydown = function() {...} but can't clear it with element.onkeydown = null or element.onkeydown = function() {} (a blank one)
[04:09:56] <Bytram> element.onkeyup ??

[04:10:08] <takyon> funny, but no
[04:10:36] <takyon> the problem is that i set an onkeydown that is used for autosaving, but when I turn off autosave, I need to get rid of that function. and it doesn't want to go away
[04:10:52] <Deucalion> I've yet to read the current iteration of the IPB, so I'm mostly staying quiet on the matter. The limited time for review to get it passed to alarm me though.
[04:11:24] <Bytram> hmmm, if you cannot 'get rid of' that function, replace it with another function that is benign
[04:11:26] <takyon> yeah I'm sure you have time to read a 10million page surveillance bill rushed through the house of lording over or w/e
[04:11:27] <Bytram> ??
[04:11:33] <takyon> yeah neither worked
[04:11:35] <takyon> I was going by:
[04:11:42] <takyon> http://stackoverflow.com
[04:11:42] <NotAnymore> ^ 03javascript - How to remove an eventhandler document.onkeydown? - Stack Overflow
[04:12:04] <takyon> i think the problem may be I never actually call the function that does this turn off process
[04:12:14] <Bytram> ooooops!
[04:12:18] <takyon> well idk yet
[04:12:22] <takyon> time to do some console.log
[04:12:26] <Bytram> nod nod
[04:13:25] <takyon> yup
[04:13:33] <takyon> must be some annoyance with my checkbox handling
[04:14:04] <Bytram> maybe instead of a checkbox, you need to use a plaidbox?
[04:14:07] <Bytram> ;)
[04:14:14] <takyon> checkbox.setAttribute("onclick","if (this.checked=='true'){autosaveOff();} else {autosaveOn();}");
[04:14:28] <takyon> oh wow
[04:14:36] <takyon> there are quotes around the true keyword
[04:14:47] <takyon> that could be a problem
[04:15:05] <Bytram> Houston agrees
[04:16:49] <takyon> if this worked i may be done
[04:17:52] <takyon> yay
[04:18:26] <takyon> I have one remaining difficulty: I haven't extended autosave to the title. So typing in the title will do nothing
[04:23:55] <Bytram> is it possible to capture the title, but save it in the body text? at least it would not be lost completely
[04:25:08] <takyon> no, I added a similar onkeydown function to storyTitle
[04:25:12] <takyon> it saves just fine
[04:25:17] <Bytram> kewel
[04:25:30] <takyon> it was already saved before, it's just that retyping in the storyTitle input box wouldn't trigger autosave
[04:26:26] <Bytram> ahhh, got it.
[04:27:02] <takyon> now that I'm finished i'll do a screenshot
[04:27:08] <Bytram> autosave on each keystroke, or when leaving the title text entry field?
[04:27:12] <takyon> http://puu.sh
[04:27:27] <takyon> the "Saved." text is in mid-fade
[04:27:41] <takyon> the function will save all contents 3 seconds after you're finished typing
[04:27:58] <takyon> yup keystroke
[04:28:17] <takyon> if it was "onchange" it would be after the element has changed AND loses focus. but with onkeydown you get it as you're typing
[04:28:49] <Bytram> ahh, better than trying to trigger on whenever they leave the 'area'; e.g. mousedown on the 'Update' or 'Save' button
[04:29:14] <takyon> the screenshot should illustrate it pretty well
[04:29:35] <Bytram> ok, in a bit; am trying to push out a few stories
[04:29:41] <takyon> k
[04:31:41] <takyon> one more error to catch. discarding the draft doesn't uncheck the autosave box

[18:40:53] <chromas> These things'd been iffy before, but I set them off when I ran f@h at max for awhile and apparently my cooling setup sucks
[18:41:06] <chromas> It's my understanding hardware doesn't care for much heat
[18:41:18] <l> :|
[18:41:38] <chromas> Hm, why do SSDs always come in 2½"?
[18:42:50] <takyon> because they don't need a lot of room to store a ton of data
[18:42:58] <takyon> so that they can be put into almost all laptops
[18:43:01] <chromas> Well, then why do I need more than one?
[18:43:22] <takyon> it might be cheaper than 3.5" versions

[18:44:11] <takyon> "Interestingly, Google is also arguing for a change in the form factor of disk drives, and questions whether the 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors that dominate the industry are necessarily the right size. Given that Google wants a mix of high capacity and high IOPS across its collectives, it might want to see a move back to 5.25-inch and 1.8-inch platters, sizes that have been used in the past in the industry."
