[10:21:53] <Bytram> tie, I think
[10:22:04] <boru> Oh, I forgot I had made coffee.
[10:22:08] <boru> coffee++ for sure.
[10:22:08] <Bender> karma - coffee: 4377
[10:22:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, you win. not a big win mind you but a win.
[10:22:18] <boru> And yeah, he seems like a lunatic.
[10:24:34] <Bytram> boru: MDC is quite open about his issues with mental health problems.
[10:25:01] <Bytram> have personally witnessed bouts of what I have perceived to be mania and of depression
[10:25:44] <boru> Aye, seems to be in a delusional phase at the moment.
[10:26:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> he's not throwing the mental health curve off for the site, he's just not in the middle.
[10:26:42] <Bytram> Touche'
[10:27:35] <Bytram> There's a lot to be said for how much of this site's creation and debugging depended on near superhuman efforts bordering on insanity.
[10:29:00] * TheMightyBuzzard whistles innocently
[10:30:54] * Bytram chuckles, and chuckles again
[10:31:00] <Bytram> ~blame
[10:31:01] * exec points at Bytram
[10:33:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think janrinok is probably the closest to median sanity we've ever had on staff
[10:33:48] * Bytram has a printer that absolutely insists on not printing documents... may have to power-cycles his windows pc... that'll take a half hour to get all my programs, shells, and tabs back into shape... atleast.
[10:34:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's where network printers come in handy. you reboot them instead of the computer.

[10:36:12] <Bytram> atm, I have it connected via USB. Could set it up to use WiFi, but would prefer not to.
[10:37:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> no ethernet port?
[10:39:12] <Bytram> well, yes there is now that you mention it... that's where the USB cable was plugged in.
[10:39:53] <Bytram> so I was trying to disconnect and reconnect the cable in the dark, didn't see there were two different kinds of ports there.
[10:39:56] <Bytram> now it works.
[10:40:01] <Bytram> ~blame
[10:40:02] * exec points at Bytram
[10:40:07] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: thanks!
[10:40:39] <boru> You plugged a USB cable into the ethernet port?
[10:40:58] <chromas> PC-LOADLETTER?
[10:40:58] <Bytram> Ima not gonna repeat myself
[10:41:15] * TheMightyBuzzard blinks at Bytram
[10:41:19] <Bytram> =g PC Loadletter
[10:41:21] <upstart> https://en.wikipedia.org - PC LOAD LETTER - Wikipedia
[10:41:31] <boru> Also an Office Space reference.
[10:42:11] <Bytram> It did strike me weird that there would be two USB ports, but I just thought it was so it could act as a pass-thru or somesuch.
[10:42:27] * Bytram definitely needs better lighting and more sleeps!
[10:43:17] <boru> I suppose it could've been worse; you could've tried to use a VGA cable or some such.
[10:43:23] <chromas> Connectors need more shapes. Why aren't there enough triangular ports?
[10:43:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, just need more coffee
[10:43:52] <Bytram> boru: actually, I'd have noticed THAT one; as the cable would not have fit into the port.
[10:43:58] <Bytram> good idea
[10:44:14] <chromas> plug the coffee into the ethernet port

[10:45:40] <boru> It's a little ARM7 with an ethernet phy and an SMTP stack I wrote.
[10:45:42] <Bytram> lol
[10:45:47] <Bytram> nice!
[10:45:48] <boru> No feckin' OS needed.
[10:46:03] * chromas gasps!
[10:46:55] <boru> It made an inaudible beep when it was ready, so I just tied that into a GPIO that drives high when it's done, and set up an interrupt for that.
[10:46:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> OSes are for things noobs might touch.
[10:47:06] <boru> Indeed.
[10:47:16] <boru> And users are just a load test for systems.
[10:47:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> and free debugging
[10:47:40] * boru chuckles.
[10:47:41] <chromas> Do you work for Microsoft?
[10:47:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> for a painful value of free
[10:47:52] <chromas> Or Electronic Arts?
[10:47:52] <boru> Quite so.
[10:47:58] <boru> Who? Me?
[10:48:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> heck no. they do at least some in-house testing. we just roll our shit live as soon as i write it.

[10:49:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru, i did yesterday
[10:50:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> had to rewrite the mod point distributing cause somewhere around 7k users it started bogging the whole damned site down.
[10:50:19] <boru> Whilst it was actually serving users?
[10:51:07] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: did you try it first on dev, now that I created 2500 users there so as to get same number as on prod?
[10:51:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah. only had to bounce the background daemon though. there's actually several hotfixes in the running code that didn't get applied through proper channels.
[10:51:43] <Bytram> yar
[10:51:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, yup. had to figure out which method worked best.
[10:51:49] <Bytram> YAYS!
[10:51:53] <Bytram> So glad it helped.

[10:55:16] <Bytram> tree of command... "The president of a company looks down the tree of command and sees a bunch of smiling faces. Workers, looking up, see a bunch of assholes."
[10:55:23] <chromas> oh, TheMightyBuzzard, I don't suppose you have any idea on hand (or off hand) why upstart gets the same reskey after submitting a story?
[10:59:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, reskeys are somewhat of an arcane and annoying mystery even to me
[10:59:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> really outside smoking now
[11:05:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> okey doke. all nicotined up.
[11:10:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, okay, looking at MrPlow's code, i don't see him doing anything special to get his reskey. just a call to https://soylentnews.org using his cookie.
[11:11:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> i do set forbid_reuse on curl though, so that might be it.
[11:12:09] <chromas> I'll set that then
[11:12:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> every time i load it in a browser i get a new reskey, so it's likely being cached in your code.
[11:12:35] <chromas> What's weird though is I've had multiple parallel subs on dev
[11:13:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> side question, did you give your bot subscription time so it could get around the time limit on new subs?
[11:13:44] <chromas> no
[11:14:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> should
[11:15:08] * chromas gibs himself a 10,000-year sub too
[11:15:39] <chromas> Actually, I don't know how to do that
[11:16:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net
[11:16:33] <Bytram> FYI: curl -k "https://soylentnews.org/api.pl?m=story&op=reskey" has returned the same reskey for me over a dozen times over the last minute+

[11:17:35] <chromas> I can only do it for myself

[11:18:57] <chromas> oh I fogured it out
[11:19:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> dingus
[11:20:17] <chromas> To be fair, the page was generated by Barrel of Trained Mongols for me
[11:20:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> fair nuff
[11:20:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, no idea why curl does that when palemoon doesn't
[11:21:36] <Bytram> checked every second for over 3 minutes... got same reskey from: 7:18:39 to 7:20:37
[11:22:10] <Bytram> that's from first thru last appearance with the same reskey
[11:22:15] <chromas> Did you try using it and find out it still gives you the same one after?
[11:22:28] <Bytram> nope
[11:23:31] <Bytram> is a work day... pushed out a couple stories, submitted a half-dozen. Crazy retail season is upon me... new stock coming in at a horendous rate, so am gonna be kinda ligtht in what I can do here prolly until next year.
[11:23:48] <Bytram> speaking of which, time to clean up and get ready for work.
[11:23:52] <Bytram> laters1
[11:29:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, varnish may be caching unauthenticated api calls
[11:35:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> spose i could review FatPhil's pull request this morning
[11:37:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> blarg. i need to test it on dev first.
[11:38:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> which means i needa merge my own outstanding PRs. which i dislike doing.
[11:39:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, might as well. the code in both is already running on prod.
[11:44:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> bleh. since i'm the only one currently writing rehash code, i'm going to go ahead and merge the CoC so i know what to expect if i offend myself.

[13:25:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> this one has blackjack and hookers though
[13:26:11] <chromas> I find that offensive. It shouldn't exist. Delete this.
