| maxolasersquad | Is anyone around who can help me with packaging? | 03:47 |
|---|---|---|
| maxolasersquad | I'm working on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-app-review-board/+bug/905618 | 03:47 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 905618 in ubuntu-app-review-board "Application Review: memory card game 0.1" [Undecided,New] | 03:47 |
| maxolasersquad | I got past the issue I was seeking assistance for. | 04:46 |
| noodles775 | maxolasersquad: great - just shout if there are other issues - there are more people around now. | 08:16 |
| jml | Good morning. | 09:25 |
| jml | I wrote a little command line program in Go over the weekend. | 09:30 |
| noodles775 | jml: was it a fun experience? | 09:38 |
| jml | noodles775: yeah, not too bad actually | 09:43 |
| jml | for this particular program, it's more verbose than Python | 09:43 |
| jml | but not much more. roughly four times faster, too. | 09:44 |
| jml | (although the C version I wrote is three times faster than that) | 09:44 |
| jml | Having to use the 'strings' package to do basic string ops makes me feel like old-school Python | 09:45 |
| jml | docs are good. compiler errors are good. | 09:45 |
| jml | #go-nuts were helpful if a little patronizing at first | 09:47 |
| jml | Go interfaces are cool | 09:47 |
| jml | but not as cool as Haskell type classes | 09:47 |
| jml | and I was surprised that it doesn't do type inference on function signatures. | 09:47 |
| noodles775 | sounds like you've gotten a lot out of the experience! | 09:50 |
| jml | yeah. | 09:50 |
| jml | I didn't do anything with concurrency, which is a shame | 09:50 |
| jml | but from properly reading the docs it looks straightforward and nice. | 09:51 |
| noodles775 | Yep, indeed. | 09:51 |
| jml | anyway, if someone held me at gunpoint and forced me to write something big in C++, Java & Go and my choice was made purely on which I preferred programming in, then I'd probably pick Go. | 09:52 |
| jml | although presumably this hypothetical gunman would be immune to the pain of lactic acid build up, as they would be holding the gun for quite some time. | 09:53 |
| noodles775 | lol | 09:53 |
| jml | noodles775: done anything in Go? | 09:55 |
| noodles775 | jml: I had a play around at a web-app, and found I missed django.forms-style input validation and cleaning for views, so did a proof-of-concept/learning project with https://launchpad.net/goforms | 09:57 |
| noodles775 | But similar to you, it gets to use interfaces, but doesn't have any need for fun concurrency stuff. | 09:57 |
| jml | noodles775: better than me, I just did something that solves the SMH Target puzzle :) | 09:57 |
| * noodles775 wonders if the Sydney Morning Herald has Target sponsoring a puzzle, and looks it up | 09:58 | |
| jml | noodles775: no, it's not the company | 09:58 |
| noodles775 | Ah, 9-letter target? | 09:59 |
| jml | yeah | 09:59 |
| dpm | hi noodles775, there's a question in askubuntu I don't know too well how to answer. Could you or someone from the server team have a look at it? As I understand it, what he's trying to do is not possible (we don't support DRM), but perhaps there might be a workaround they can implement on their side - http://askubuntu.com/questions/88422/how-to-host-my-commercial-application-in-ubuntu-software-center | 11:29 |
| * noodles775 looks | 11:32 | |
| noodles775 | dpm: I've added an answer - but it's basically 'no' :( | 11:56 |
| dpm | noodles775, thanks! That's already really helpful, especially pointing him to the demo versions work | 12:10 |
| julian_ | hey there. i've a question about the package to submit to myapps.developer.ubuntu.com. i've got a 32bit and a 64bit .tgz package of my app. which one should i upload? | 13:32 |
| jml | julian_: upload the 32 bit and make a note that you have a 64 bit version. | 13:44 |
| jml | julian_: These are binaries for commercial sale, right? | 13:44 |
| mvo | hey julian_ - what jml said, or just put both into a tar file so that two packages can be build from it and add a note that both are included | 13:44 |
| julian_ | hey yes commercial. thanks i did what mvo said | 13:55 |
| julian_ | having two upload slots or note something about it on the upload site would be nice ;) | 13:55 |
| jml | james_w: can you please send through a written review of the description branch? I haven't got around to merging it yet, I have to head out, and I won't remember tomorrow morning. | 17:56 |
| * jml gone | 18:01 | |
| james_w | jml, sure | 18:03 |
