tjagodaI have never met snap-l and had him summarily not be difficult.13:29

brouscha linux user who tolerates this kind of thing must be fascinating13:43
rick_h_adding a couple of vimbits: http://vimbits.com/bits/273 and http://vimbits.com/bits/27214:04
rick_h_plus appreciated :)14:04

snap-loh, wait, I can get that on IRC. ;)14:27

rick_h_sorry stand up call. the time is 9:44am EST14:45
rick_h_:P14:45
snap-lheh14:52
snap-lWe're on God's time here14:52
tjagodaSomebody misses college?15:19
tjagodafeel free to come take my java programming course for me then =P15:19
brouschi wish we'd had java courses when i was in college15:21
brouschmuch easier than C and C++15:21
snap-lbrousch: No, no you don't.15:33
tjagodaI had both15:38
tjagodaC++ was easier.15:38
brouschpointers make me cry15:39
brouschi would rather punch myself in the testicles than manage my own memory15:39
snap-lpublic static void up up down down left right left right a b a b is soooooo much better.15:40
snap-lI'd rather read memory directly than have to cast every God-damn thing.15:40
brousch"Microsoft's cloudy platform, Windows Azure, is experiencing a major outage: at the time of writing, its service management system had been down for about seven hours worldwide."15:41
krondorMS just doesn't like leap years15:47
krondorthe guy that worked on the zune leap year bug moved to the azure team15:47
krondorwindows phone team didn't want him :|15:48
brouschthat makes sense15:48
snap-lIf only there were libraries to handle dates15:49
snap-l;)15:49
snap-lArgh.16:04
snap-lPython is too clever sometimes.16:04
snap-lclass Baz:16:04
rick_h_oops16:04
snap-l  def __init__(self, baz=[]):16:04
snap-l     self.baz = baz16:04
snap-la = Baz() and b = Baz() will both point to the same place16:05
rick_h_- class Baz(object) [use new style classes]16:05
snap-ler, a.baz and b.baz16:05
snap-lOK16:05
rick_h_- bzr=[] [never never never set a default to a mutable default]16:05
snap-lFeh16:05
rick_h_baz=None16:05
rick_h_if not baz: self.baz = []16:05
snap-lOK16:06
snap-lI knew I was doing something stupid, but couldn't articulate it for Google. :)16:07
snap-lThank you.16:07
rick_h_yea, been there done that16:08
rick_h_http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6794285/python-function-remembering-earlier-argument-kwargs16:08
snap-lYeah, I figured that's what it was doing16:09
snap-l"Hey, I already have a Baz-ified [], I'll just use that!"16:09
rick_h_yea, eventually you have to figure out the quirks of mutable vs immutable types in python16:10
snap-lHah. "Snakenet Metal Radio: Your source for going deaf on the Internet"16:10
snap-lOn the plus side, I now know about id16:11
rick_h_heh yea16:11
jcastrolatest stackexchange podcast is pure gold16:12
rick_h_jcastro: yea? /me goes to look16:12
jcastrojrwren: ^^^^16:12
jcastroyeah so jeff is leaving and it's basically a summary of their history and what they learned16:12
snap-l(Stack Overflow is not another place to discuss tabs vs. spaces.) <- That's what Programmers.SE became.16:13
jcastrohah yeah16:13
jcastrobut at least that stuff gets contained on programmers16:14
snap-lSadly, my programmer.se score is higher than my SO score.16:14
jcastrohah16:14
snap-lthe answer to two questions:16:14
snap-lWhat do you wish you learned in college: More C.16:14
snap-lWill I speed my compiles by using tabs vs. spaces: I will dragon-kick you in the neck.16:15
snap-lAnd jcastro, yes I can see Google Maps being replaced in a lot of places now that they've gone and upped the pricing16:17
brouschi am seeing people asking about alternative16:17
nullspaceyawn16:18
snap-lfucking piwik16:18
brouschmapquest actually looks good. use their data or openmaps, drop in google api replacement, free unlimited community version16:18
snap-lThey have a piwik bug on their page.16:18
snap-lStrange. I have a peak on my network where I was sending as much as I was receiving which was just shy of 6Mbps16:55
snap-lwhat's strange about that is my upload cap is 1Mbps16:55
brouschmaybe wifi16:59
brouschsending inside the lan16:59
brouschdropbox lan sync?16:59
snap-lOver wan? Don't think so16:59
brouschinteresting. the kindle app has registered itself a a pdf reader on my NC17:11
brouschit's a decent alternative to adobe17:11
snap-lI picked up ezPDF reader.17:12
snap-lIt's OK. Seems to do a bit better on antialiasing than the built-in reader.17:12
brouschadobe reader stays zoomed in to the level i want when changing pages, but it also slides back and forth with my thumb17:13
snap-lshame that it doesn't register itself as the last thing you read, though. :)17:13
snap-lblergh, I hate that17:13
brouschkindle reader jumps back to full page view when changing pages17:13
brouschi want a zoom-and-lock funtion17:14
brouschzoom to these margins and keep them17:14
brouschoh baby. i just changed one setting and one color and my color scheme is even nicer17:17
brouschhawt17:17
krondorhmm, I just realized that imgur.com animates the favicon for animated gifs17:24
krondordidn't realize that was a thing17:25
krondorit apparently only works in FF http://i.imgur.com/qdgYU.gif17:26
brouschsounds annoying18:09
snap-lHow's the Thurdsay so far?18:10
snap-lThursday, even18:10
brouschlookin good18:14
brouschi'm all set for saturday18:14
rick_h_meh18:14
snap-lrick_h_: meh?18:16
rick_h_yea, thurs is meh18:16
brouschbut you can use vim on android18:22
brouschthat has to pump you up18:23
brouschsnap-l: are you providing lunch saturday?19:22
snap-lbrousch: WE can get pizza if you want19:23
rick_h_lol19:23
snap-lI hadn't planned on any food, though19:23
brouschjust wondering if i should eat beforehand19:23
rick_h_jodee is going to make pie for everyone19:23
brouschok, i'll grab something with G19:23
brouschooooh, what kind of pie?19:23
snap-lbrousch: Pizza pie19:23
brouschpy pie19:24
rick_h_your choice I heard19:24
snap-lActually, I hadn't thought of it.19:24
rick_h_I'm officially out19:24
snap-land Perry's doesn't open until 4pm19:24
rick_h_by the way :(19:24
snap-lrick_h_: Ugh, sorry to hear that.19:24
brouschbooo19:24
rick_h_gave it a shot, but dad is in town on his anuual trip and my wife let me know what a 'good son' would do19:24
brouscha good son would bring his dad along so they could bond over freedom?19:25
snap-lYeah, cram him into the car and take him to a gathering of his nutty friends in cramped location. ;)19:25
brouschand so his dad could see what his favorite little guy does all day?19:25
snap-lbrousch: (Somehow I don't think this is working)19:27
brouschgotta try you know19:27
rick_h_heh19:28
brouschsnap-l: don't worry about food. i'll grab lunch with my sister and son19:31
snap-lbrousch: Well, we might get something19:34
snap-lnot entirely sure19:34
snap-lbut yeah, don't want G to get off schedule19:34
brouschhe eats all day until 4PM, then he stops19:36
brouschhave to shove dinner down his throat19:36
brouschhmmmmm http://lusob.com/2012/01/django-ide/19:56
rick_h_heh, awesome20:11
brouschwow, this isn't half-bad20:28
brouschyou can actually edit the python files, templates, and css from right in the browser20:30
brouschhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/101667/snapshot17.png20:33
rick_h_brousch: cool20:33
rick_h_now can multiple people pull up the same url at the same time?20:33
rick_h_pairing?20:33
brouschnot sure20:34
rick_h_open it in FF and chrome :)20:35
brouschit let me open both and edit, but changes are not reflected automatically20:35
rick_h_ok20:36
rick_h_well curious, didn't think so but worth a test20:36
brouschactually i can't get the changes to come up at all on the second20:36
rick_h_still chromebook friendly perhaps20:36
brouschok, got the changes across20:38
brouschbasically it lets you open one django app at a time. changes get synced when you leave that app in the editor20:38
brouschthen last edit sticks20:38
brouschso you could have multiple people in there if they're working on different apps20:39
brouschalso i don't see how to change application-level files like the root urls.py and settings20:41
brouschbut a very interesting start20:45
brouschhm, he checked .pyc files into github. is that a bad sign?20:58
snap-lbrousch: Punishment must be administered20:59
brouschalso, no changes in 3 months20:59
devinheitmuellerHe's just making it more efficient (so you don't have to recompile the modules).  :-)21:00
brouschriiiight21:00
rick_h_brousch: no ~/.gitignore ?!21:06
rick_h_fix your dotfils pls kthx21:06
rick_h_brousch: should get you started http://paste.mitechie.com/show/554/21:07
brouschi don;t like it. *.pyc is in there twice21:08
Blazeixyou can never be too careful21:09
rick_h_clearly :)21:10
brouschthere, added a few http://paste.mitechie.com/show/555/21:12
brouschnow you won't be annoyed by pydev eclipse users21:12
brouschand the __pycache__ thing is from the newest python versions i think21:14
tjagodaHoly crap22:59
tjagodahaven't apt-get upgraded in a while23:00
tjagoda495 MB of updates23:00
rick_h_widox: ooh, you get mixins http://php.net/traits cool23:05
tjagodaUhoh23:13
tjagoda"internal Error, no file name for libc6"23:13
tjagodathat can't be good.23:13
greg-gbah, who needs libc?23:18
snap-ltjagoda: Do an update23:42
snap-lapt-get update23:42
tjagodathat's what broke the lib23:46
tjagodalol23:46
tjagodaapt-get -f dist-upgrade in combination with some dpkg seems to have fixed it23:46
tjagodaWhew23:50
tjagodathis is a very painful upgrade23:50
tjagodashame on me for letting it get to be 6,000 miles long23:51
snap-lyes23:54
