snap-lI can't believe there's a band that put out their music as 01.rar01:50
snap-land each of the tracks is 01.mp3, 02.mp3, etc.01:50

Wolfgersays who?12:29
rick_h_says me, party party12:39
Wolfgerbah12:41
Wolfgerthey locked our thermostat and set the temp to "uncomfortably high". It's definitely not a good morning12:41
rick_h_ugh, I get that a lot here to12:42
rick_h_I have a themometer I show to my boss12:42
rick_h_"see, it's 80...now 80 is beach weather. I should just head to the beach"12:42
WolfgerYeah, I threatened to turn the steel-toes in for sandals, and wear shorts12:42
Wolfgerbut of course nobody that I can complain to has any control over it...12:43
Wolfgerthe union guys are saying "work slower. It's too hot, and we don't want anybody getting a heart attack"12:43
rick_h_lol, awesome12:44
WolfgerThe sad thing is, it's just the offices. The plant floor is still nice and cool.12:44
Wolfgerso I may go for a walk with my laptop and not come back12:44
snap-lheh12:58
snap-lGOod morning, internet folks12:59
greg-gWolfger: it took me 3 weeks of 80+ degrees in this office and complaining to various facilities/management/etc people to get our temperature fixed. Apparently, there is one thermostat on the 2nd floor (I'm on the 4th) that controls this entire wing13:02
rick_h_greg-g: gotta love that13:11
rick_h_our therm is in a conference room down the hall13:11
rick_h_well of course that small closed room is a totally different climate than the big cube farm we're in13:12
greg-gno kidding. We now have 5 desktops and 8 22" monitors in here, it can get warm if you let it :)13:14
brouschbut don't you wear sandals, shorts, and no shirt to work?13:15
greg-gI wish13:20
greg-gfor a while I was wearing sandals, but now my boss is back in town13:20
Wolfgerdarned bosses13:22
greg-gno kidding, right?13:22
brouschIn this Flask app that I'm writing I use a list to keep some data that changes regularly. I that list the same across threads if i deploy to mod_wsgi? https://sourceforge.net/p/waznexserver/code/ci/4028742f72bea7570941752ee42beaaec721fb47/tree/main.py13:27
snap-lbrousch: hey hey hey, no talking about real work when we're bitching about the weather.13:31
brouschwell technically it's a side project, so it's fun13:31
snap-lHeh13:31
snap-lAlso see that Dave got you using the new beta.13:31
brouschyeah, i like it13:31
snap-lYeah, it's quite nice. Lots of good ideas in there.13:32
brouschi wish SF had private repos so i could host non OSS stuff there13:32
snap-lNot likely to happen any time soon13:32
brouschthat's what he said too13:32
brouschi should go to a database backend instead of a list and eliminate any worry13:33
snap-lThat would be my first recommendation13:34
rick_h_brousch: so when you deploy mod_wsgi, apache spins up several workers of your app13:37
brouschi think so13:37
rick_h_now, any requests that go the same worker that would be constant13:37
rick_h_but not across the apache workers13:37
rick_h_each of those is separate13:37
brouschdamn13:37
rick_h_as apache spins up more instances to hanlde load, you'd end up with a bunch of different versions of that list13:37
rick_h_you need a persistant store, sqlite, memcache, etc13:38
rick_h_single points like that don't let you scale beyond a single process really13:38
rick_h_unless you want to get into the joys of interprocess communication13:38
brouschno. i want to keep it simple13:39
snap-lI seem to recall that the scoreboard might be useful for something like that13:39
rick_h_sqlite it is then13:39
snap-lbut I may be remembering wrong13:39
brouschthe scoreboard?13:39
rick_h_well, except that it doens't like multiple users at once without locking issues :/13:39
snap-lBah, install PostgreSQL13:39
snap-lbe a man13:39
brouschdreamhost frowns on that13:39
rick_h_heh13:39
rick_h_couchdb then? :)13:39
brouschobviously i need mongo for this13:40
snap-lnow you have two problems13:40

brouschyou mean my purchased books!13:43
rick_h_meh, could be worse I guess13:43
snap-l"Oh shit, they might access my coupons and my FUDGE books that I'm reading on the iPhone"13:43
snap-lAnd our logo / podcasts.13:43
brouschi'm afraid to ask what a FUDGE book is13:43

snap-lNot like they used to use Usenet14:05
snap-lit was the Internet's biggest forum14:05

snap-lTwo months ago we migrated from MD5 hashing to freeBSD MD5 salted hashing.?The unsalted user accounts in the wild are ones that haven't been accessed in over 2 months and are considered idle. Once we are back up we will have implemented SHA-512 multi-iteration salted hashing and all users will be required to update to a new strong password.15:03
snap-lseriously, a site that is based on cryptographic strong hashes for currency was using MD5 salted passwords?15:04
greg-gwho?15:14
greg-gbitcoin stuff?15:14
snap-lYeah15:19
greg-gok, pythonistas, why would one do "newlist = mylist[:]" instead of just "newlist = mylist" ?15:19
snap-lnewlist = mylist would copy the pointer, so they'd be the same15:19
snap-lnewlist = mylist[:] would copy the data15:19
_stink_shit, i didn't know that trick.15:20
* snap-l verifies this15:20
_stink_i would just use deepcopy or something.15:20
snap-lIn [1]: mylist = [1,2,3]15:21
snap-lIn [2]: mylist15:21
snap-lOut[2]: [1, 2, 3]15:21
snap-lIn [3]: newlist = mylist15:21
snap-lIn [5]: newlist.append(4)15:21
snap-lIn [6]: mylist15:21
snap-lOut[6]: [1, 2, 3, 4]15:21
greg-gwow, thanks!15:21
brouschwouldn't [:] copy the pointers to any objects in the list?15:22
snap-lIn [10]: mylist = [1,2,3]15:22
snap-lIn [11]: newlist = mylist[:]15:22
snap-lIn [12]: newlist.append(4)15:22
snap-lIn [13]: mylist15:22
snap-lOut[13]: [1, 2, 3]15:22
brouschso the objects in the new list would be same as in the old?15:22
_stink_i think [:] would just copy the first level.15:22
brouschyeah, that's what i was asking15:22
_stink_like if the list held dicts, the new list would hold the same dict pointers15:22
snap-l_stink_: ++15:22
brouschso deepcopy still has a purpose15:23
_stink_right15:23
greg-g(this was a question for someone who works at CC and saw it in some code but didn't know exactly what it was. He's the sysadmin)15:23
_stink_hey, learned something today.  and it's only 10:30.15:23
snap-l_stink_: time to go home, then15:24
_stink_damn right15:24
rick_h_I'm not sure you'd want to deepcopy by default15:55

snap-lShould drop any day now16:04
rick_h_I got an email from an automated check for the Bookie FF extension on FF6 already16:04
snap-lThat DavidAndGoliath post doesn't make any damn sense16:05
brouschwtf. they were hosting 3 TB of data for $35/mo?16:05
rick_h_yes16:06
rick_h_a while back he was trying to find the absolute cheapest dedicated server hosting he could16:06
brouschdo people pay for pinboard?16:06
rick_h_which I thought odd since he tries to keep a small number of boxes16:06
rick_h_yes16:06
snap-lEither they got the sweetest deal on the planet, or someone is hosting from their garage16:06
snap-lI did16:06
brouschi suggest a heapin pile of flaming poo bags on his porch16:06
rick_h_well that's where that comment is from, people warning him that at that price, dont' expect a lot16:06
snap-lI pay $24.95 for Linode, and I expect it to be there, damnit. :)16:07
rick_h_and now he's been down for 9 hours and trying to setup a new db server elsewhere to get back up16:07
brouschonce people start actually paying you for your service you should really upgrade your hosting16:07
snap-lOr have a way to spin up S3 hosting quickly16:08
rick_h_he did an interview and prides himself on his 3 boxes repliating around them to each other16:08
rick_h_/s3/ec216:08
rick_h_it16:08
snap-lSorry16:08
rick_h_s the db server that's the thing16:08
rick_h_you can't just spin up db servers with TB of disk16:08
krondoranyone tried http://sparkleshare.org/ ?16:08
snap-lThough I wonder how one gets 3TB of bookmarks16:08
snap-lkrondor: Not yet. Looks interesting16:08
brouschmaybe it indexes like bookie?16:09
rick_h_he does have a 'storage' account you get for bookie like caching of content16:09
rick_h_but I've not figured out if it's just screenshots, or what16:09
snap-lStill, that's archive.org sizes16:09
rick_h_https://twitter.com/#!/curbednetwork/status/83171089429168128 ?!16:11

snap-lI hope he spent some of that internet cash for a PO box16:12
snap-lbecause I'd hate for people to show up at his doorstep16:12
rick_h_https://twitter.com/#!/Pinboard/status/8305044068984422416:13
rick_h_so looks like worst case is a new install brought up from s3 backup16:13
rick_h_which might take a while based on size16:13
snap-lSomeone needs to tell him about gzip. :)16:14
rick_h_http://thuktun.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/an-interview-with-maciej-ceglowski-of-pinboard/16:15
rick_h_down there has a server setup description16:16
rick_h_"Too much of the site now runs in screen;" lol16:20
snap-lI say that boring hosting is a feature because in times of crisis you find yourself in a very comfortable and familiar setup. It’s also easy to bring people in and explain what you’re doing. And you get the benefit of a lot of documented online experience with similar tools, by people smarter than you are who write about it well.16:27

_stink_bums?16:34
snap-lWSU is known for being the university for people who don't mind parking tickets and random shit getting stolen from their car16:35

gamerchick02jwren, that $10 is totally worth it.16:36

snap-lI have my Theory of Computing book if you want to borrow it, rick_h_16:36
rick_h_snap-l: yea, I'm debating. Learning on my own would take a lot of time I think because I'm rusty on the math side16:36

rick_h_I tried to get a master, I just can't stand school that much. I'm a practical person I think16:58
jrwrenright.16:58
jrwrenyou are too smart.16:58
rick_h_the only reason this is coming up is that I want to try out doing practical stuff with it16:58
brouschschool is too slow for rick_h_16:58
jrwreni'm dumb enough taht I didn't figure out how dumb school was until I got far into my masters.16:58
rick_h_but a few classes from those that know more than me on a subject I'm interested in might work16:58
rick_h_vs a whole set of courseware16:59
jrwrenmapreduce is really the #1 answer to large data.16:59
jrwrenif you can't solve it with map reduce, I think you are immediately back into research land that hasn't been practically proven.16:59
rick_h_yea, but there's the math on relating items16:59
rick_h_you need to know what to tell map reduce to do to get meaningful stuff out16:59
jrwrenright.17:00
jrwrenthat is the art part of the computer science17:00
jrwrenyou are basically saying "how do I knwo what map and reduce function to use"17:01
jrwrenand sometimes that reduction part can be VERY challenging17:01
rick_h_so my immediate practical thing is with bookmarks17:01
jrwrenfor bookie?17:01
rick_h_"you're viewing this bookmark, and here are 5 like it via tags/content17:01
rick_h_right17:01
rick_h_but also at work, we've got a lot of stats data that might be interesting17:01
rick_h_"people that like car XXX also like car yyy"17:02
jrwrenthe "like it" sounds more like clustering.17:02
rick_h_I'm not 100% on it, but the idea's been in the back of my head17:02
jrwrenhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-means_clustering17:02
rick_h_right, well 'like' can be scored based on popularity (views) actual content, age, etc17:02
rick_h_yea, there's a ton of ways to put the things together17:02
jrwrenbut then you need to define your distance function, and that can be challenging17:02
rick_h_you have to walk through them and see what tends to help get your better scores/results17:03
jrwrenyup17:03
jrwrenI think all that is the art part of what we do.17:03
rick_h_yea, I mean these days, customer purchase info, etc all kinds of ways to need/get invovled in this17:04
jrwrenyup.17:04
jrwrenamazons "customers viewing this also viewed" is a good example.17:04
rick_h_right17:04
jrwrenand you can also s/view/purchase/17:05
jrwrenand get a different dataset17:05
jrwrenand when you are talking business application it is likely that both are important17:05
jrwrenor... i mean, multiple functions are important17:05
rick_h_greg-g: is vermont in MI?17:06
greg-gnope, neither are the smokies ;)17:07
rick_h_ok, sorry read that too fast17:07
greg-gshould have put a "..." in there17:07
rick_h_got thinking maybe I went 'too far'17:07
MilyardoIMO application frameworks like MapRduce are often symptomatic of overuse of relation database models over object oriented or heirarchial databases17:07
rick_h_disagree... :)17:07
rick_h_greg-g: check out the NCT, they have some great maps17:10
greg-gcool17:10
rick_h_we've driven a few scenic routes that ran through it last year checking it out17:10
rick_h_walked a bit down a trail head, it's on our todo when the boy gets older17:10
rick_h_my grandmother's house in VA is like 5mi from a trail head17:11
rick_h_oh crap, nvm, NCT was the one we did by manistee river17:11
rick_h_that's the app trail17:11
greg-gyeah, there is some good lookign NCT up by Duluth, though. But a 12 horu drive away :(17:12
rick_h_yea, VA is as well17:12
rick_h_how far is the smokeys?17:12
rick_h_well 10-12hr17:13
greg-gish, yeah17:14
snap-lTime to pounce on the mail-dude.17:38
rick_h_uh oh, what toy is in the mail this time?17:38
snap-lJust a few more ebay winnings.17:44
MilyardoI'm thinking about upgrading from my G1, anyone have any recommendations? The G2 seems underpowered, so I was looking at the Nexus S or Desire HD at the moment17:45
snap-lgot some shrinkwrapped GURPS stuff for $1.9917:45
snap-lMy sis in law is thrilled with her G217:45
rick_h_Milyardo: on t-mo?17:45
snap-ldepends on what you want to do with it17:45
Milyardoprobably play alot of emulated games on it17:47
Milyardorick_h_: Yes, T-Mobile17:47
MilyardoNo contract though, swtching carriers could be an option17:48
rick_h_the sensation hd is rated high17:48
rick_h_some good things coming out about it17:48
Milyardobut I've liked T-Mobile serviec in Flint though, hasn't been too bad17:48
rick_h_basically I'd just check through android central reviews if you're not sure17:48
rick_h_if you want to check out nfc, the nexus is about all there is17:48
MilyardoHardware stats sound sexy, price is pretty high though17:49
Milyardoon the Sensation that is17:49
rick_h_ok, well you didn't metion price :P17:49
MilyardoPirce isn't too much an issue, but it signicantly above the others17:50
rick_h_I'd probably just to the nexus17:51
rick_h_I'm a fan of the google devices though17:51
krondorMilyardo:  G2X17:51
MilyardoHrmm...Pioneering AOSP development on the Sensation could be fun17:52
Milyardokrondor: Is the G2X a rebranded Desire HD?17:54
Wolfgersnap-l: GURPS... when AD&D just isn't geeky enough. :-)17:55
Wolfgerbut woot on the super deal17:55
krondorMilyardo:  Desire HD is an HTC, G2X is an LG.  It's dual core (tegra 2) and a stock google experience (though not a 'google' phone so not clue on how updates will work).17:56
krondorg2x versus htc sensation http://androinica.com/2011/04/t-mobile-g2x-vs-htc-sensation/17:57
krondoralso it has official Cyanogenmod support which is more important to me really... http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/t-mobile-g2x18:01
jrwrenMilyardo: MayReduce is not an "application framework" so I don't know what you are talking about.18:02
jrwrenMapRduce also has nothing to do with RDB models or OO or Heirarchial db.18:03
MilyardoIgnoring Tegra, The Sensation seems to have better hardware18:07
Milyardojrwren: If its not an software framework then what is it?18:07
rick_h_basically a giant csv parser18:08
krondorMilyardo: yeah sensations has a better screen, proc is better in some ways/worse in others, but it has sense ui and I think the locked bootloader stuff (before htc reversed on that) not sure on the last bit18:13
MilyardoTegra does interest me, might have to look into it18:14
brouschkrondor: i use cyanogenmod support as a necessary feature too18:16

snap-lWolfger: Hey now. :)18:36
snap-lAnyone have an opinion on the vornado fans? Are they just hype?18:40
gamerchick02the what?18:49
gamerchick02fans as in a fan to keep you cool? *confused*18:50
snap-lyes18:52
gamerchick02ok18:52
gamerchick02i thought you were talking about fans as in a fan of a team. i read that wrong18:53
_stink_i was thinking that if this is about a thing that moves air, then i am impressed18:53
gamerchick02and i haven't heard anything about vornado. sounds like a cross between a volcano and a tornado or something.18:53
_stink_because i can never imagine caring about the quality of a fan.18:53
gamerchick02well, you want something decent, IMHO18:53
snap-lheh18:54
snap-lhttp://www.bifter.co.uk/ <- This is awesome.19:13
jrwrenMilyardo: an algorithm.  MapReduce: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.163.5292&rank=119:13
jrwrenMapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating large data sets.19:13
rick_h_snap-l: I've got 3 vornados19:33
rick_h_I love them personally, medium one is best19:33
rick_h_really want to get a larger one but they're $$19:33
snap-lYeah, I'm not sure I'm ready to spend $60 on a fan. :)19:33
snap-lbut figured you might have an opinion. :)19:34
rick_h_they're definitely worth it over a normal rotating fan19:34
rick_h_I got one from woot, amazon special, and just paid for the 3rd after loving the other two19:34
snap-lWhich one do you have, the 630?19:34
rick_h_http://goo.gl/JuXuk19:34

rick_h_I'll bring it to CHC19:35

snap-lrick_h_: I don't want to go that far, but I'm understanding why you would say that19:42
rick_h_it's been getting bad lately imo19:43
snap-lI think the tech news is just bad19:43
rick_h_down to really just TNT, TWiT, and google19:43
rick_h_maybe19:43
snap-lJust depressing to hear about all of the locked-down stuff, security breaches, and people behaving badly.19:44
rick_h_well and they're starting to sound kind of uninformed more and more19:44
snap-lmeh, to a certain extent19:45
snap-lI think you just need a break from tech19:45
snap-llike, say a week19:45

jrwrenlol22:00
jrwrenthe cake is funny22:00
jrwreni think css animations and keeping up with ie10 beta is more likely the reason.22:01
jrwrenIMO it will be *bad* if IE actually has more features than FF again.22:01
jrwrennow if only FF would ship with a "use native codecs" for its html video22:01
snap-lif only IE++ would use web standard. ;)22:02
brouschbut nobody uses ie 8 or 9. if you're using ie it's because you're stuck on 6 or 7 for badly-written business apps. otherwise you've moved on22:02
binbrainbrousch: badly written business apps microsoft office online, which only supports IE for the full feature set22:04
binbrain...business apps <like> microsoft...22:04
