[00:00:30] <baryon> I say use it everywhere, then fix the system
[00:01:09] <SpallsHurgenson> I've little doubt that over the next few years we'll start hearing about how CAs - already known to sell out to governments - have also been doing the same to corporations and criminals
[00:04:11] baryon is now known as Corona
[00:04:20] <Corona> start drinking, it's Cinco de Mayo
[00:04:29] <Corona> I gave you an excuse, you can start drinking now
[00:04:56] <SpallsHurgenson> there are parts of the world where your statement is untrue :)
[00:05:12] <BadCoderFinger> Woohoo! Drinking!
[00:05:28] <BadCoderFinger> Too much Irish and Scottish in my ancestry to ignore a call to drinking.
[00:06:44] <Corona> Cinco de Mayo, Seis de Mayo, I'm sure someone died on Seis de Mayo. Bottoms up.
[00:06:46] <SpallsHurgenson> oh I didn't know you were from england </troll>
[00:09:11] <BadCoderFinger> You know, one of those guys might hit you.
[00:09:55] * SpallsHurgenson blinks innocently
[00:11:13] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[00:21:08] <SpallsHurgenson> what do you expect of a poor confused 'merican? we think of Wales, Ireland and Scotland to be little different from our states like Kansas or Rhode Island... just as we are all American, you are all English :)
[00:21:25] <SpallsHurgenson> (just kidding, nobody in America ever remembers Wales)
[00:24:20] <BadCoderFinger> Hey! I remember Wales.
[00:24:41] <SpallsHurgenson> no you don't. nobody remembers Wales. Even the Welsh have no idea :)
[00:25:11] <BadCoderFinger> The Welsh, yes. Keeps them safely in Wales, where everyone else wants them.
[00:25:22] <chromas> shave the Wales
[00:25:26] <CoolHand> a dude from the #gamingonlinux channel on freenode today traded me a $100 digital ocean promo code for buying him a $25 Diablo3 battle.net key.. pretty sweet deal. My droplet is now paid up for the net 20 months.. :)
[00:26:07] <Corona> what is that
[00:27:08] <CoolHand> what's what?
[00:27:35] <CoolHand> a droplet in the digital ocean? it's a vps (virtual private server)
[00:27:48] <CoolHand> and net 20months = next 20 months
[00:28:03] <Corona> gotcha
[00:28:48] <SpallsHurgenson> and "paid up" == ?? :)
[00:29:17] <CoolHand> hmm.. "paid up" == credit for the next 20 months..
[00:29:30] <SpallsHurgenson> ah, now it all becomes clear
[00:29:31] <CoolHand> $100 at $5/month
[00:29:32] <CoolHand> hehe
[00:30:36] <CoolHand> I was pretty leery of doing the deal with some dude I didn't know on the internet, but he volunteered to give me his code first to make sure it worked, so risk-free for me :)
[00:30:47] -!- mechanicjay has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[00:31:11] <SpallsHurgenson> so you came away from that trade doubly lucky; not only did you get 20 months of paid VPS, but you also don't have diablo 3 :) :)
[00:33:04] <Corona> yeah what makes that key "$25". Is that the Steam price of the game?
[00:35:12] <CoolHand> naw, wasn't a steam key.. it was a "CD key" for battle net.. I actually got a download of a scan of a "key" on a CD

[02:26:42] <Ethanol-fueled> It feels so shiny and smooth.
[02:28:16] <juggs> You logged in just to appreciate your cloak didn't you? Admit it?
[02:28:30] <Ethanol-fueled> I appreciated it the last time I did.
[02:28:38] <Ethanol-fueled> I logged in to lurk.
[02:31:02] <juggs> I think you failed lurk101 - one by not using a bouncer, so your arrival is announced, two - by bleating immediately about your cloak :D
[02:31:33] <Ethanol-fueled> bouncer, gotta lurk moar. Don't even know what that is.
[02:32:12] <chromas> the bouncer jiggles the juggs
[02:33:25] <Ethanol-fueled> is Imogen a bouncer?

[03:30:24] <juggs> Yeh, the SN spy cams we had the contractors fit behind your drywall and ceiling probably aren't helping in that regard. Sorry about that. We have to keep an eye on things, because.... umm, well.... we do. I'm sure you understand citizen. Nice cat!
[03:30:52] <SpallsHurgenson> well... if you're watching I ought to give you guys a show. :)

[03:31:53] <juggs> Aww Gawd - is that your ex wife's frozen corpse?
[03:32:15] <SpallsHurgenson> a frozen corpse? don't be ridiculous.
[03:32:17] <SpallsHurgenson> not in this heat
[03:34:01] <juggs> Well it appeared frozen until you took it out of the chest freezer from here.
[03:34:20] <SpallsHurgenson> she's pining for the fjords
[03:35:41] <juggs> So put what remains of her on a burning longboat and let that boat go man.... there comes a time to move on
[03:36:14] <SpallsHurgenson> <sigh> nerds these days... very disappointing

[03:40:50] <SpallsHurgenson> even he isn't that deranged
[03:41:04] <SpallsHurgenson> well, I mean, he IS but still...
[03:50:21] <chromas> walmart tv advertising they care about familys so much they're actually giving raises to employees
[03:50:29] <chromas> Seems kind of sad
[03:51:06] <juggs> Doesn't judging deranged also imply some kind of judgement of what "normal" is? What makes you fit to judge normalcy beyond your own delusions?
[03:51:38] <SpallsHurgenson> "For thirty years we've been destroying economies and the families that support them... but now Walmart cares enough to give a 1% payraise to our hardworking staff who still don't get overtime. Walmart: for America, for you."
[03:52:32] <chromas> I think there was a graphic that mentioned 1 billion dollars (pinky to mouth), which doesn't seem like much when diffused across all the employees; too lazy to do that math though
[03:53:09] <SpallsHurgenson> don't worry; the family that owns walmart will still have more money than the lower 50% of the rest of the country :)
[03:53:18] <chromas> whew
[03:54:03] <SpallsHurgenson> (sorry, "In 2010, six members of the Walton family had the same net worth as either the bottom 28% or 41% of American families combined (depending on how it is counted)")
[03:54:13] <chromas> it was probably something like "Oh, look I found a billion-dollar bill in the couch. Hm, that's too much for a midnight taco. What can we do with this change?"
[03:54:13] <SpallsHurgenson> (I was 9% off :)
[03:55:36] <SpallsHurgenson> a couple of 'em are only worth ~$5 billion. I don't know how they get by
[03:55:50] <chromas> yeah but it was the bottom 9%; they don't count—they're not even real people!
[03:56:38] * juggs detects socialists in the US of A. Does not compute ERRCOMMUNIST
[03:57:27] <chromas> you socialisist
[03:57:37] <SpallsHurgenson> damn straight :)
[03:58:36] <SpallsHurgenson> why, if I had my druthers I'd give free healthcare to everyone in this country
[04:03:52] <chromas> B-but! I want taxes to go to my favorite government programs, not yours!
[04:04:03] <juggs> Healthcare free at the point of consumption is a good thing for a productive society. Of course it is not free, it's taxpayer funded. But it levels society. It strikes me levelling society is a good thing as it denies sociopathic rent seekers and profiteers entry to the market.
[04:06:04] <SpallsHurgenson> also, I would blame Microsoft.
[04:08:35] <juggs> It makes me sad to see the USA go down the path it does.
[04:10:23] <SpallsHurgenson> don't worry, the rest of the world will follow along shortly :)
[04:16:37] <juggs> You're a fucking party popper that refuses to run out of pops :D I suspect "the rest of the world" has already grown a little tired. There/s only so many young people can be thrown into the fray before the populous goes "WTF?"
[04:18:41] <juggs> I guess it's a way to dig one's own grave.
[04:18:43] <SpallsHurgenson> fortunately, they rich old fucks in all those other countries are going, "hmmm, how I'm gonna get a piece o' dat?" :)

[12:50:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> boo, and also yah, bitches
[12:50:36] <janrinok> how's the building works going
[12:51:01] <paulej72> TheMightyBuzzard: whats your thouhts on 4bit support
[12:51:19] <paulej72> janrinok: noisily
[12:52:41] <paulej72> they are planting 20 foot ish trees today
[12:53:52] <janrinok> ah, gardening the quick way
[12:53:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> paulej72, effort for almost no gain. they're currently only wasting space but work well enough.
[12:54:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> good to fix but not a priority when we have actual priorities.
[12:55:06] <paulej72> sure, just thinking we have to move the db, os it makes sense to do major db changes at the same time
[12:55:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[12:56:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> prollem is you get a too-wide error on some columns when converting and i dunno what that even means yet
[12:56:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> if it's something simple, grand. if it means the column names are too wide, that's potentially a lot of code changes.
[12:57:32] * TheMightyBuzzard ponders
[12:57:40] <paulej72> TheMightyBuzzard: probably that the data is set for char8 and the data fits, but needs more space when using 4bit mode. the colomn needs to be resized
[12:57:44] <janrinok> can someone clarify what you mean by 4bit support in the db please?
[12:58:03] <paulej72> allows for 4bit unicode chars
[12:58:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> paulej72, should auto-resize when converting it but fails.
[12:58:10] <janrinok> ah, OK
[12:58:28] <paulej72> mostly asian chars in this range
[12:59:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> get me a vm and i'll be happy to break my own personal db until it plays right. don't want to break the dev one cause i dunno the root user password to it since one got added.
[13:02:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> paulej72, hrm..., actually did we switch mysql versions to any significant degree?
[13:02:23] <paulej72> https://dev.mysql.com
[13:02:24] <dogpipe> ^ 03MySQL :: MySQL 5.5 Reference Manual :: 10.1.11 Upgrading from Previous to Current Unicode Support
[13:02:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> cause if not i don't need a working rehash install
[13:02:42] <paulej72> TheMightyBuzzard: not sure of the versions, but the backend is now cluster
[13:02:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh
[13:02:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm
[13:03:11] <paulej72> For the variable-length character data types (VARCHAR and the TEXT types), the maximum length in characters is less for utf8mb4 columns than for utf8 columns.
[13:03:24] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Google's Android Update Problem - http://sylnt.us
[13:04:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[13:04:48] <paulej72> A TINYTEXT column can hold up to 255 bytes, so it can hold up to 85 3-byte or 63 4-byte characters. Suppose that you have a TINYTEXT column that uses utf8 but must be able to contain more than 63 characters. You cannot convert it to utf8mb4 unless you also change the data type to a longer type such as TEXT.
[13:05:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, actually knew all this. just never bothered to troubleshoot at all when converting failed on a few columns.
[13:06:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> i spose i can break things a bit tomorrow. crutchy can just hold his horses for api stuff on dev.
[13:07:07] <crutchy> i'm done

[13:35:01] <Leebert> How goes the world?
[13:35:11] <janrinok> round and round, hopefully
[13:35:22] <Leebert> and in the correct direction.
[13:35:36] <janrinok> I'm taking things easy so getting a bit better every day
[13:35:47] <Leebert> cool. I need to do that.
[13:35:50] <Leebert> Been burning out at work.
[13:36:05] -!- Tachyon_ has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[13:36:05] <Leebert> Been eyeing up that 140 hours of banked PTO
[13:36:53] <janrinok> that must be an American expression for time off?
[13:37:13] <Leebert> Paid Time Off, yes.
[13:37:15] <Leebert> sorry.
[13:37:24] <Leebert> It's not universal, but it's what some companies call it.
[13:37:26] <janrinok> np - I'll learn the language yet!
[13:37:42] <Leebert> Tends to be companies that combine vacation and sick leave into one big pot of generic paid time off.
[13:37:48] <Leebert> :)
[13:38:05] <Leebert> That's OK, I'm still learning English english.
[13:38:09] <janrinok> unfortunately, I only speak English at present, although I'm picking up your vocabulary more each day
[13:38:28] <Leebert> My work Blackberry is set to en-UK
[13:38:38] <janrinok> beats encryption...!
[13:38:57] <Leebert> so it gets all red squiggly underline when I send an e-mail that says something like: "I'll prioritize that."
[13:39:09] <janrinok> as it should ;)
[13:39:18] <Leebert> I've taken to allowing it to "correct" the spelling so as to confuse my co-workers.
[13:39:24] <janrinok> lol
[13:39:51] <Leebert> Me: "Yes; I tried to ring him but his line was engaged." Co-workers: WTF?!
[13:40:22] <janrinok> Now I had no problem with that - and can't understand what you would usually say
[13:41:06] <Leebert> "I tried to call him but the line was busy."
[13:41:28] <Leebert> Although I haven't heard a busy signal in years; that was just the first phrase that popped into my head.
[13:41:30] <janrinok> OK, I can manage that. On your 'mobile' or do you still use a 'cell'
[13:41:33] <janrinok> ?
[13:42:18] <Leebert> Good question, I use "mobile" but that's because I'm kind of anal. Most people I think tend to say "cellphone" still.
[13:42:39] <janrinok> "2 countries divided by a common language"
[13:43:02] <paulej72> its a twitter connector not a cell phone
[13:43:04] <Tachyon> janrinok: hello :)
[13:43:14] <janrinok> hi Tachyon you good?
[13:43:14] <Leebert> But the phrase "mobile phone" has been in general use for years -- I still remember James Earl Jones doing the Bell Atlantic mobile phones back in the 90's that started with him saying: "A mobile phone is no good."
[13:43:24] <Tachyon> janrinok: could be better, you?
[13:43:42] <janrinok> getting better thanks. Nothing too serious with you is it?
[13:44:28] <Leebert> janrinok: But you'll never get me to say "petrol". :)
[13:44:45] <janrinok> lol
[13:45:12] <janrinok> I could never buy gas - gas is something you cannot see!
[13:45:29] <janrinok> we use it in our cookers and stoves
[13:46:22] <Leebert> janrinok: I don't say "gas" either.
[13:46:40] <Leebert> I generally use the abstract term "fuel", or "gasoline" if I'm referring to that specific substance.
[13:47:16] <Leebert> But that's because I (used to) drive a diesel, and saying: "I need to get gas" when you have a diesel truck in redneck parts of America is just short of a capital crime.
[13:47:30] <Leebert> Kind of like that one time I drank water out of a Guinness mug in a pub in Dublin. ;)
[13:47:45] <janrinok> many a mistake has been made that way - I surprised they let you live
[13:48:24] <Leebert> :)
[13:48:43] <Leebert> I find the diesel truck youth culture to be really annoying here. Specifically, the coal rollers...
[13:49:04] <janrinok> yeah, I've seen that on the web, but I don't understand it
[13:52:26] <Leebert> That's because you're trying to apply logic to mass insanity. :)
[13:52:42] <janrinok> lol - OK, I'll stop trying
[13:52:43] <ciri> rofl
[13:53:48] <Leebert> Joking aside, it's basically because they're youth rebelling against the perceived mainstream, and they think it's cool. Don't get me wrong, a nice diesel truck IS cool (buying a new one this week, hopefully). They just take it a bit too far.
[13:54:41] <Leebert> And it's something of a redneck version of a hacker culture. They like tinkering; it's just the end goal of that tinkering is kinda silly.
[13:55:02] <janrinok> I suppose we all did something similar in our youth, if only I could remember that far back...
[13:55:27] <Leebert> Yep. I did my own version of stupid stuff.
[13:55:41] <janrinok> some say I'm still doing mine...
[13:56:18] <Leebert> I'm pretty sure I was voted "least likely to be arrested for felony charges, including resisting arrest" in High School, but hey... We're all idiots at age 19. :)
[13:56:53] <janrinok> but we think that we are so smart
[13:57:48] <Leebert> Well in my case, I am.
[13:57:57] <Leebert> Other people...? Less so. :)
[13:58:16] <janrinok> I love the humility

[14:50:39] <mrcoolbp> oh weird, I got DCed there too for a sec
[14:51:08] <janrinok> a lot of it around, apparently...
[14:51:29] <mrcoolbp> paulej72, juggs, weird DCs from IRC today?
[14:52:18] <mrcoolbp> anyway, janrinok: I'm still kicking around this idea of making editing for SN a more crowd-sourced effort
[14:53:24] <janrinok> Yeah, CH and I were chatting about it the other day, reckon it's worth a try
[14:53:24] <mrcoolbp> there is a little barrier to entry right now
[14:53:36] <janrinok> and that is?
[14:53:49] <mrcoolbp> it takes a little time to learn the interface, and learn our Style
[14:54:30] <janrinok> I don't see an easy solution to that if you intend to maintain quality and consistency
[14:54:53] <mrcoolbp> I agree, I'm not talking about opening up editing for every user
[14:55:31] <mrcoolbp> but if there were 10x the amount of editors we had now, we could flip a switch that stories couldn't golive without 3 signoffs or so
[14:55:56] <mrcoolbp> plus when we get in the weeds, we tend to lower our standards inadvertantly
[14:56:12] <janrinok> but if the first 2 were not doing it to any particular set of rules then the third has to do a full job anyway?
[14:56:34] <mrcoolbp> I haven't worked out the idea yet
[14:57:34] <janrinok> I feel that it should be possible to automate much of the formatting task, replacing <br><br> with </p><p> etc, and it might be possible to actually auto-blockquote, although I haven't tried doing that yet.
[14:58:05] <mrcoolbp> paulej72: ^

[14:58:27] <mrcoolbp> I thought so

[14:58:50] <janrinok> thx paulej72, but I don't want to burden you as I guess your plate is pretty full.
[14:59:01] <paulej72> mrcoolbp: that is probably between you and the bouncer some kind of network issue
[14:59:24] <mrcoolbp> I'm not worried about it, just thought I'd mention it
[14:59:30] <mrcoolbp> thanks
[15:01:13] <mrcoolbp> TheMightyBuzzard: is there documentation on the spam mod system?
[15:01:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> not that i'm aware of
[15:01:40] <janrinok> mrcoolbp: my fear is that what will happen is what already happens. For example, although there are more eds chipping in, CH has had the lion's share of the task over the last 7 days. Eds look at the story list, decide that someone is doing it, and then go back to their full-time job. We have to find a way of ensuring the task gets balanced.
[15:01:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> wikis scare me
[15:02:02] <mrcoolbp> oh there is a blurb on mod guidelines at the bottom
[15:02:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh
[15:02:15] <paulej72> I added that in
[15:02:24] <mrcoolbp> paulej72++
[15:02:25] <Bender> karma - paulej72: 157
[15:02:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> good man, him

[15:02:30] <Bender> karma - paulej72: 158
[15:02:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> documentation is for the birds
[15:02:53] <mrcoolbp> janrinok, I know what you mean, I'm one of the people that does that, but I'm pretty busy with stuff most of the time
[15:02:56] <mrcoolbp> = )
[15:03:49] <mrcoolbp> TheMightyBuzzard: if the "Unspam" stuff is not visible on a comment, has the spam mod been removed?

[15:04:05] <janrinok> we all are, and it wasn't a criticism. It is just human nature. Some people are better at letting the queues run to almost empty, while others like to see the queues full for at least the next 6 hours or so. The workload seems to fall on the latter because of this trait.
[15:04:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeppers. note the * beside the datestamp
[15:04:28] <mrcoolbp> saw that
[15:04:43] <paulej72> inactive mods are denoted with *
[15:04:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> that was a paulej72 addition. we previously actually destroyed the mods.
[15:04:54] <mrcoolbp> janrinok: people keep evaporating, we are training new editors at a replacement level unfortunately = (

[15:05:30] <paulej72> That was already in the code, I just added it to the spam mods
[15:05:43] <mrcoolbp> is there a log of when this stuff happens?
[15:05:49] <mrcoolbp> er happened
[15:06:41] <paulej72> No we do not log when we unmod or unspam or ban currently
[15:06:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> there's a good possibility this is gonna hafta become my new theme song; and I don't especially even like country. https://www.youtube.com

[15:07:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> good one though

[15:07:56] <janrinok> mrcoolbp: we have a good bunch at present - and I'm only chipping in once or twice a day at most. I haven't solved the balanced editor load problem but I am thinging about it.
[15:08:52] <mrcoolbp> janrinok: display a percent edited by each editor over the past 2 weeks on the main page = P
[15:08:55] <paulej72> Wonder if we could get the eds to take certain days to be primary ed?
[15:08:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> janrinok, I need to borrow your timezone. mine says it's too early to drink a beer.
[15:09:20] <paulej72> its never too early to drink
[15:09:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> true: rehash warrants it at any time.
[15:09:53] <janrinok> that might work, but as we all know there are times when RL just has to come first. I didn't want any editor feel that he was being criticised for putting his job or family first
[15:10:03] <janrinok> TheMightyBuzzard: Have 2 beers on me
[15:10:46] <janrinok> the last thing I want to do is push an editor into doing too much - it hurts, as I now well know
[15:11:06] <mrcoolbp> janrinok: I don't want to burn the new guys out either, I was hoping Lamx and n1 would be returning soon
[15:11:22] <mrcoolbp> also I should check with pax and wantkitteh too
[15:11:34] <janrinok> n1 has got a big task ahead of him. He will return but I wouldn't like to guess when that might be
[15:11:43] <mrcoolbp> copy that
[15:11:51] <mrcoolbp> lamx is in a similar boat
[15:12:02] <janrinok> Lamx said he needed a minimum of 6 months before he could consider coming back at full rate
[15:12:46] <mrcoolbp> is CH feeling over-worked?
[15:13:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, "off" is truly where i am about to fuck now. things that don't frustrate the hell out of me to do.
[15:13:13] <mrcoolbp> catch a fish for me buddy
[15:13:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, mowing the yard n setting up a fileserver n various other sundry stuff. sentiment's appreciated though.
[15:14:15] <mrcoolbp> = )
[15:14:15] <janrinok> no, but he was aware of the effort that he was putting in. He wasn't resentful in any way, but it was pushing him a little. It depends on his job and how busy he is. Sometimes he has the capacity, other times he has to do it when he should be doing other, more enjoyable, things.
[15:14:39] <mrcoolbp> aye, I try to monitor that channel as much as possible
[15:14:40] <janrinok> TheMightyBuzzard: and have that beer
[15:17:01] <janrinok> mrcoolbp: I think we should try expanding the current team under the existing rules, but also look at crowd-sourcing more. The best formatted stories _do_ make our job easier, but we don't want people to spend time formatting stories that we later reject for poor content.
[15:17:42] <janrinok> Anyone could check that all the links work and point to what they claim etc. Even that would be a help
[15:18:27] <mrcoolbp> a real crowd-sourced effort would probably need more tools like revision history stuff
[15:18:43] <mrcoolbp> maybe we should consider contacting the good submitters
[15:18:59] <mrcoolbp> maybe offer pheonix a position as well
[15:19:00] <janrinok> as long as we don't lose them as submitters!
[15:19:05] <mrcoolbp> yeah, I know = )
[15:20:09] <mrcoolbp> okay, well I gotta call the CPA and try to clean up the house a little, my Mom and brother are coming over later, I'll be around
[15:20:34] <janrinok> take care, I've got to go and cook a meal soon, so I will be away for an hour or two
[15:20:46] <mrcoolbp> take care of yourself too
[15:20:56] <janrinok> thx - I'm doing as little as possible
