[04:46:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw, it's just not done yet. and it still out squooshes h265.

[04:50:57] <takyon> there is probably newer info about nightly builds and such, but advantages have yet to be seen in the real world. and new hardware would need to support it for best results

[19:24:24] <mechanicjay> It where my group landed after the perl days. We definitely have tens of thousands of lines of php which run a ton of our line of business applications.
[19:24:36] <Bytram> PHP, from what I've read and heard, could really use someone to come in and construct a consistence naming (and functioning) architecture

[19:25:05] <mechanicjay> So, yeah new stuff gets spun up in php, as there's where our tested and harded DB abstraction stuff is, and our common templates, etc, etc.

[19:26:43] <mechanicjay> as best we can...the team isn't quite as cohesive as I might like, so we're all a bit siloed with our own applications, so each application definitely has it's own flavor.
[19:27:12] <Bytram> happens, no biggge
[19:27:51] <Bytram> as long as there is a general self-consistency within 'areas', it's tractable... is when things are whichever way someone felt like doing it at the time.. Zoinks!
[19:27:54] <mechanicjay> But we all do out best to write clear consistent code, so it's not hard to jump into Fred's stuff and figure out what's going on.
[19:28:01] <Bytram> noice!
[19:28:24] <Bytram> get burned enough and suddenly there exists internal motivation... no need to apply from the outside
[19:28:44] <mechanicjay> Unlike some of our retired perl programmers. I've been keeping a couple of those things on life-support for a few years now and I just kinda want to hurt myself.
[19:28:48] <Bytram> aka "The longest distance between two points is a shortcut."
[19:29:06] <mechanicjay> you just described most of legacy perl stuff
[19:29:17] <Bytram> kinda guessed as much
[19:29:36] <mechanicjay> Who needs an intermediate variable to store shit, just wrap a couple functions around a giant regex!
[19:29:38] <Bytram> over time, quick and dirty tends to become less quick and more dirty
[19:29:48] <Bytram> ugh
[19:29:52] <mechanicjay> "Look it works"
[19:30:29] <mechanicjay> yeah, until it doesn't, then what -- up stream data formats change on a frighteningly regular basis.
[19:30:40] <Bytram> construct a regexp as a catenation of strings, each of which is commented as to what/how/why it matches... then use THAT in the actual pattern matching

[19:31:19] <mechanicjay> There this one thing, where I literally have no idea how to fix it withough rewriting the entire string validation subroutine.
[19:31:40] <Bytram> sad face
[19:32:17] <Bytram> in the interim, instrument it to dump all inputs, and outputs, and build up a test base of what it does?
[19:32:38] <mechanicjay> It's this bad: When I get a report of a failure on one of the things that *SHOULD* validate, but doesn't -- I have a hacked version of the script, off to the side I run by hand.
[19:32:55] <Bytram> ugh
[19:33:38] <Bytram> well, at least you DO have it at hand.... sounds like you been down that path enough times you have a standard work-around
[19:33:38] <mechanicjay> Yeah, I feel like that should be a fireable offense.
[19:34:43] <mechanicjay> I'm going to need to address it for real soon as the department is expanding and the "exceptional" case is going start becoming far more common.
[19:34:59] <Bytram> hmm
[19:35:22] <mechanicjay> Actually, the way I'd like to address it is to turn this thing the fuck off and tell people to go use Google Calendar.
[19:35:47] <Bytram> write afunction that checks if your "side script" is happy with it? If it is, let it through, o/w fall back to the weak-sauce version

[22:36:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> he'd do fun things like put one character to a line and make the comment five thousand lines high
[22:36:37] <Notsanguine> Or perhaps I just shouldn't be so chummy with Chromas? Will that make the limit go away?

[22:58:27] <mrpg> Good comment, worth the reading. At least if you are curious of the subject.
[22:58:43] <Sulla> Will as soon as I get the chane
[22:58:45] <Sulla> Ce
[22:58:55] <chromas> That's why he channeld realDonaldTrump; he's building a wall
[22:59:08] <Sulla> Just about to put on a training so have to wait
[22:59:41] <Notsanguine> Sulla: Thanks! I think that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day. :)
[22:59:48] <Notsanguine> Thanks mrpg
[23:01:53] <Notsanguine> mrpg, sulla: If you found that interesting, you might want to go all the way back to my original comment. It gives quite a bit of context. https://soylentnews.org

[23:02:09] <Notsanguine> Or not.
[23:03:11] <Notsanguine> The conversation with Unixnut gives two quite contrasting (yet eerily similar) views of urban life
[23:09:46] <mrpg> Agreed on Asimov.
[23:12:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh thas funny. takyon got spam modded.
[23:12:31] <Notsanguine> Asimov was a pretty good scientist and promoter of science. But he was also pretty good (when he wanted to be, many of his works are pretty flat in the character development area) at observing and describng human behavior
[23:12:48] <Notsanguine> Really? Link please TMB

[23:14:23] <stderr_dk> <NerdRPG> stderr reaches next level in 20108 days, 19:09:44.
[23:14:34] <stderr_dk> Damn...
[23:14:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> stderr_dk, sounds like you have time for a nap then
[23:15:18] <stderr_dk> Yeah, maybe a short nap or two...
[23:16:51] <Notsanguine> TheMightyBuzzard: Think that could be a mis-mod? It's snarky, but doesn't really rise to the level of spam, methiunks
[23:17:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't think the mod got the joke at all, so it looked like spam.
[23:17:59] <mrpg> Obviously HODL is the name of some big pharma drug :-) so spam
[23:18:22] <Notsanguine> Perhaps. If that's the case, the modder (IMHO) doesn't understand the spam mod
[23:18:48] <Notsanguine> mrpg: that could be it, but https://en.wikipedia.org
[23:18:49] <systemd-blockchaind> ^ 03HODL - Wikipedia
[23:19:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> spouting utter nonsense is in fact spam, which is what it looked like to me too until i googled it.
[23:19:33] <mrpg> Yes, I looked it up, but the mod didnt so for him it is some drug spam.
[23:19:34] <Notsanguine> A reasonable point.
[23:20:06] <Notsanguine> Poor Takyon. He's probably crushed. Someone should give him a hug.
[23:20:14] <mrpg> Give 5 min to create a fake website for HODL as a cure to insomnia.
[23:20:35] <Notsanguine> You are evil, mrpg. I like it!
[23:20:45] <mrpg> haha
[23:20:58] <mrpg> So it is spam, the mod remains.
[23:21:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> too late, i already nuked the mod. no banhammer though. i don't consider being behind the times on lame memes to be a bad thing.
[23:22:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> sides, i already handed out a six month mod-ban today. got my desire to abuse peons out of my system for a couple hours.
[23:23:58] <Notsanguine> TheMightyBuzzard, do you need to modban often?
[23:24:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> almost never.
[23:24:09] <Notsanguine> I figured
[23:24:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> that was the first this year. i don't expect another until summer at the earliest.
[23:24:40] <Notsanguine> Well, it's heartening to know that while there are just a very few, there's at least one asshole here
[23:25:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> persistent as well. six month bans mean you've already served out a one month one.
[23:26:00] <Notsanguine> wow. an asshole *and* dumb. A rare and wonderful combination. :)
[23:26:24] <Notsanguine> Although it seems kind of silly to abuse moderation. I'd find it much more satisfying to just troll folks who annoy me.
[23:26:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight. time to go smoke and check the coals. got some >2" thick ribeyes going on the fire here in a bit.
[23:26:40] <Notsanguine> uh oh. Perhaps I've said too much. :)
[23:26:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> Notsanguine, preaching to the choir, bud.
[23:27:16] <Notsanguine> Enjoy your smoke and your dinner TMB. I'm marinating some ribs for tomorrow night myself.
[23:27:32] <mechanicjay> Holy Fucking Shit, AWS can suck a duck.
[23:27:57] <Notsanguine> mechanicjay: just for imagery's sake, which end of the duck?
[23:28:35] <mechanicjay> the underside so it can choke to death on the duck's surprisingly long dick.
[23:28:54] <mechanicjay> ...this is a publiclally logged channel isnt' it...
[23:31:38] <Notsanguine> IIUC, it is logged. Perhaps a turtle would be more apropos in this circumstance?

[23:32:07] <Notsanguine> But then it wouldn't be immediately understood, I guess
[23:32:27] <mechanicjay> dear lord!
[23:33:20] <Notsanguine> I had a friend who had a turtle and she loved going on about how well endowed her pet was. It was kinda creepy actually
[23:46:35] <mechanicjay> Yeah, that sounds weird. When discussing why I like my pets, schlong size has never been on the list of considered attributes.
