[10:47:50] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org(The_Twilight_Zone) - "\"Perchance to Dream\" is episode nine of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. It originally aired on November 27, 1959 on CBS. The title of the episode and the Charles Beaumont short story that inspired it is taken from Hamlet's \"To be, or not to be\" speech."

To die, to sleep, To sleep, perchance to Dream; aye, there's the rub, for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause.

[12:31:42] <Bender> karma of chameleon is 13
[12:31:52] <Bytram> I can see it there, but I have superz adminz powerz
[12:32:15] <Bytram> time for me to go to work... have a great day everyone!!!!!
[12:33:02] <chromas> Does the api do karma? If so, exec could handle it
[12:33:23] <Bytram> chromas: fyngyrz: How do you feel about your readiness to actually process a submission into a story?
[12:34:13] <Bytram> api docs: https://wiki.soylentnews.org
[12:34:13] <upstart> ^ 03ApiDocs - SoylentNews
[12:34:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> it looks like non-superz-adminz-powerzed people only get to see their own karma.
[12:35:15] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd++ Thanks for checking!
[12:35:15] <Bender> karma - andytheabsurd: 30
[12:37:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes, the api can get someone's karma. it probably shouldn't but it can.
[12:37:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> Also, the API does return karma in the response to a get_user call.
[12:37:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> curl 'https://soylentnews.org/api.pl?m=user&op=get_user&uid=18' | grep karma
[12:39:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> so you'd have to do two passes
[12:39:22] <AndyTheAbsurd> one to convert nick to uid, one to get karma, right?
[12:40:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> unless you just knew the uid, yeah
[12:43:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think exec can do api calls
[12:44:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~api m=user op=get_user uid=18 /karma

[13:20:22] <fyngyrz> Bytram: I'm more or less okay with it (processing sub into story) but I'm mostly interested in fixing the small errors that creep in to already-edited stories.
[13:21:13] <fyngyrz> I've been looking over some of the other site pages, did a little bit on the FAQ yesterday.
[13:21:34] <fyngyrz> Some of the site verbiage is... old.
