[09:20:05] <Sulla> I think the problem with term limits is that we had to write it into law
[09:22:19] <Sulla> It was a sort gentleman's agreement that the most anyone would serve was two terms, possibly because Washington relinquished power after two
[09:22:50] <Sulla> It wasn't until we had a true pinko in office that things went wonky
[09:24:24] <Sulla> In some ways though I guess FDR was a good stress test on the system, he affirmed that the exec was the only branch that mattered. Supreme court wont violate the constitution? Tell them you will add more judges til it does.
[09:24:39] <Sulla> Thank god he died before he could become king
[09:39:37] <FatPhil> Every country needs a Kekkonen.
[09:39:59] <FatPhil> And I need a proper RDBME...
[09:40:15] <FatPhil> SELECT count(*) FROM foo ... LIMIT 3005
[09:40:18] <FatPhil> 3447
[09:40:20] <FatPhil> ?!??!?!
[09:42:24] <chromas> Row tax
[09:47:29] <FatPhil> it is limitting its output to 3005 lines, not the selection of data
[09:48:23] <FatPhil> there sooms to be no way of saying "stop counting when you reach X"
[09:48:26] <chromas> That makes sense
[09:49:49] <FatPhil> the weird thing is that it ought to be impossible for it to select more than 3005 anyway
[09:50:37] <FatPhil> query has a where clause that sets a range which only has room for 3005 in it
[09:52:23] <FatPhil> weird race condition mght permit a 3006th to creep in, if the clock's stepped forward, hence my limit
[09:53:25] <chromas> But count() only returns one row so it's under the limit
[09:55:43] <FatPhil> yeah, that's my comment at 12:48
[09:56:34] <FatPhil> there physically should not be more than 3005 rows available.
[09:56:48] <FatPhil> unless date comparison doesn't work
[09:57:01] <FatPhil> that's the next thing I'll look at
[09:57:02] <chromas> Maybe that query's wrong :)
[09:57:24] <Sulla> I forgot that whole part of new parenthood that is unable to sleep because sids is terrifying
[09:59:43] <FatPhil> query needs simplifying to properly debug, as it's got 8 joins, but none of them should change the number of rows returned.
[10:01:00] <Sulla> "Should"
[10:01:13] <chromas> There's probably an alt-right join in there, which is known to make counts seem bigger than they really are
[10:05:17] <Sulla> Doing testing at work looking at changes to queries between old and new versions of peoplesoft, can't find anything in update documentatin that would indicate why but some queries returning different data

[11:48:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> couldn't do that with blow. cats don't do "sit still and be quiet" unless it's their idea.
[11:48:37] <fyngyrz> Even then, they do it creatively. Like on my keyboard.
[11:49:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> cats are furry murderous psychopaths
[11:49:17] <AndyTheAbsurd> which explains why I love them so much.
[11:49:23] <fyngyrz> yes, isn't it great?

[14:08:57] <takyon> what we need is 3 cameras on each side of the phone
[14:09:20] <fyngyrz> so... 18 of them?
[14:10:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> No, what we need is a phone that includes a bee-sized drone equipped with a 360 degree camera.
[14:10:49] <fyngyrz> There are a lot more degrees in a complete FOV than 360º. Just saying.
[14:11:15] <takyon> a drone that takes off and lands from the phone's battery case
[14:11:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> of course, that will only be available at Wal-Mart, since they're getting a patent on robotic bees: https://www.cnet.com
[14:11:18] <fyngyrz> Technically, a 360º camera gives you a plane.

[14:12:02] <takyon> what the heck kind of degree symbol is this: º
[14:12:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> You're right - we need two 360 degree cameras mounted at right angles to each other.
[14:12:30] <AndyTheAbsurd> it's a symbol that means "degree" in the temperature or trigonometric sense.
[14:12:55] <takyon> it has a line under it on hexchat
[14:12:58] <fyngyrz> and it's worth noting that the FOV of today's wide angle lenses is both incomplete and badly distorted (although software can fix that... why isn't such software commonly supplied?)

[14:13:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> takyon: yeah, wikipedia says the character actually produced is "ordinal indicator" not "degree symbol"
[14:17:12] <fyngyrz> Interesting. It's called out as a degree symbol on the Mac. IT's handy, too - alt-zero.
[14:17:33] <fyngyrz> Also, there's no line under it here.
[14:17:47] <fyngyrz> (Mac client "LImechat")
[14:18:03] <fyngyrz> s/LI/Li/
[14:19:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'm not sure if it's actually the same symbol ('cause I'm not in front of a properly set up Linux box right now), but you can get to a similar symbol with Compose, o, o on Linux.
[14:19:39] <fyngyrz> which one - the circle, or the underlined circle?
[14:20:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> I suspect that depends on what font you're using, but it's always been just a circle for me.
[14:20:43] <fyngyrz> Are you running linix there now?
[14:21:08] <fyngyrz> s/linix/linux/
[14:21:58] <Bytram> "&deg;" == "°"
[14:22:20] <fyngyrz> yes, produces same as alt-0 for me
[14:22:26] <Bytram> == "&#x00B0;" == "&#176;"
[14:22:37] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'm in front of Winders box; I've got a CentOS VM running on it but I haven't checked what the compose key is and I don't have my SSH key for the system I'm running irssi loaded.

[14:22:47] <fyngyrz> nope
