snap-lhttps://plus.google.com/u/0/109919666334513536939/posts/K8yXXAVRDNb02:28
snap-lHave to say I'm a little irritated by this02:29
rick_hjrwren: how do you hide the bar?02:56
rick_hmorning11:01
snap-lGood morning11:55
brouschrick_h: did you watch this talk at pycon? http://pyvideo.org/video/632/scalability-at-youtube12:06
rick_hbrousch: no, it sounded like not a ton of interesting bits12:06
rick_hany good? reviews coming out of it were really mixedc12:06
brouschok. i'm wondering if it's a good one to point to when people say things like "python doesn't scale"12:06
brouschi haven't watched it yet12:07
rick_hyea, can't say on that12:08
rick_hhonestly, just send them to me if they think it won't scale. they're nuts. all depends on your code and how you do your infrastructure12:08
rick_hsuch a loaded phrase...scales to what with what for what?12:09
brouschit'd be nice to have a pithy response like "youtube is python"12:10
rick_hyou can do that12:13
rick_hand quroa is pylons, and mozilla sync is python12:14
rick_hactually all the new mozilla stuff is pyramid12:14
snap-lLaunchpad is Python12:14
snap-lNew sf.net is Python12:14
rick_hyea12:15
snap-lMark Ramm said Turbogears was powering a porn site12:15
brouschsounds like it's time for a wtfhasobamadone.com-like web site12:15
rick_hyea, that was their most famous large scale site years ago12:16
brouschpythondoesntscale.com12:16
snap-lpythonwebscale12:16
snap-land put a pixelated picture of a python on a scale12:17
brouschin a spider web?12:17
snap-lwith a 32x32 transparent scaled-up gif of a spider web from geocities12:17
brouschpythoniswebscale.com12:21
brouschwith short blurbs like "YouTube uses Python to handle a billion hours of videos uploads a day"12:22
brouschis GAE written in python?12:24
rick_hI don't think so, it's got python bindings/support, but I don't think the backend is python12:25
rick_hthough you can say the first google search engine was written in python12:25
brouschanyways, another idea for the list. maybe i'll lightning talk it at pyohio and see who's interested12:25
snap-lWell, I expect the minimize button to die a death sometime soon12:27
rick_hheh, come on snap-l, when are you ready for tiling boot camp?12:27
snap-lbecause the younger crowd doesn't use it12:28
snap-lrick_h: Yeah, because if I'm going to change my workflow, I might as well do it wholesale.12:28
rick_hno one takes your toys away over here :)12:28
brouschsnap-l: i didn't see what annoyed you in that thread12:29
brouschi very rarely minimize a window12:29
snap-lbrousch: bunch of people who think the minimize button is redundant12:29
snap-lThat's great, but there are people who do, myself included.12:30
brouschoh, they want to remove it?12:30
brouschi didn't read the whole thing12:30
snap-lI don't think so, but I could see the sentiment pushing it to that level12:30
brouschbah, who cares. it'll only happen in unity12:31
snap-lIt's like my worst nightmare: fully maximized applications with no way to get them out of my face.12:31
snap-lI worked IT. That's how the secretaries worked12:32
rick_hI've been saying for a while now that wallpapers are deprecated :P12:32
brouschswitch to a different workspace12:32
snap-lbrousch: yes, because workspaces will save us all12:32
snap-lfuck me12:32
snap-lwhy not shove everything onto the floor12:32
snap-lhell, desks are deprecated, just crawl on the ground and move to your work12:32
brouschi work with 1 or 2 windows/desktop12:33
brouschwhen it's full, i go to another one12:34
snap-lI'm glad that works FOR YOU12:34
snap-lI like to put things away when I'm not using them12:34
brouschomg you are so old12:35
snap-lYeah, and I like sharing too12:35
rick_hlol12:35
snap-lI remember full screen apps. They were called DOS apps12:35
rick_hyou guys play nice12:35
rick_hback to the terminal!12:35
brouschminimizing is not putting things away12:35
snap-lbrousch: It's getting things out of my sight12:36
snap-land no, putting it on another workspace doesn't work for me12:36
snap-lIt's the equivalent of shoving it onto the floor12:36
brouschon the floor everything is in one pile12:36
snap-lYes, and on another workspace, it's another pile12:37
brouschit's more like having a ring of monitors around you and you swivel to look at which one you want12:37
snap-lWere it only so elegant12:38
snap-lSo, I should have my openvpn window up all the time?12:38
snap-lor run it via nohup and have it logged?12:38
snap-lHow about minimizing it, so I don't have to worry about it12:39
brouscheh?12:39
brouschi see minimization as an additional state i need to remember12:39
snap-lbrousch: point being, I can minimize it, and it still runs and takes up no workspace at all12:39
snap-lI see workspaces in the same way12:40
brouschso not only is the program i want on some workspace, now i have to remember if it's showing or hidden on that workspace12:40
brouschi always have 10 workspaces, so it's not like they're a scarce resource12:41
snap-lI have 4, because that's what I get12:41
brouschuse alt-1 to alt-0 to switch between them12:42
snap-lI really hope that some UX designer doesn't decide some part of your workflow is deprecated12:42
brouschsnap-l: they did, which is why i'm using kde12:42
snap-lMaybe that's the answer12:42
snap-linstead of using a designed interface, just use one that was designed by a committe and thrown into a blender.12:43
brouschi use my gnome2 workflow, with menues where they're supposed to be and with a stable number of workspaces12:43
brouschdesigned by commitee implies that the committee picked one way to do something. kde is more like designed by everybody12:44
brouschhowever you want to do it, you can12:44
snap-lWell, it's not like I can run back to a mac, because they're changing shit over there too12:44
snap-lGET OFF MY DESKTOP YOU DAMN KIDS12:45
brouschthat's my point. you can make kde use whatever workflow you want12:46
brouschyou can use one workspace like windows and minimize all your applications12:46
snap-lbrousch: but can it keep me from throwing up in my mouth12:46
snap-lbecause everytime I use KDE, that's where my lunch heads.12:46
brouschand then you can set the panel to show those minimized windows in many different ways to help you pick the right one12:47
brouschi like the oxygen theme12:47
brouschkind of a grayscale theme12:47
jrwrenrick_h: "caption splitonly" "hardstatus ignore"13:31
jrwrenhides the byobu bar in screen.13:31
jrwreni bound it to h for hide.13:31
jrwrenthen for unhide i bound to H "caption always"    "hardstatus alwayslastline"13:31
jrwrenwho says python doesn'ts scale?13:32
snap-lPeople who should know better, I'm assuming13:33
snap-lGod, I'm becoming rick_h13:36
_MarcusI know Michigan is right next to Canada, but why is the "All About Us" link ur1.ca?13:36
rick_hruh roh13:36
snap-lusing the split function of tmux to run watch pep8 *.py, and editing in the bottom split13:36
snap-l_Marcus: It's a URL shortener run by a person we trust13:37
_MarcusOh13:37
snap-lEvan Prodromeau, who is based out of Canada13:37
snap-lQuebec, I believe13:37
jrwrensnap-l: why not pyflakes?13:38
snap-lpyflakes doesn't show pep8 errors13:38
jrwrenyes it does.13:39
snap-lin vim?13:39
rick_hnot all,13:39
rick_hyou need to run both13:39
jrwrenwhat?13:39
jrwrenthat is opposite of what i read.13:39
rick_hpyflakes doesn't so thing like spacing issues, etc13:39
rick_hI run both, on my build server for just this reason13:39
jrwrenpyflakes-vim ?13:40
rick_hthat's why there's a thing called flake8 that tries to do both13:40
rick_hbut hacky, since it includes both source files13:40
rick_h:/13:40
jrwrenoh wow, pyflakes-vim is dead... long live syntastic13:41
rick_hyea, but I've not gotten that to run right yet13:41
snap-lhttp://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=244113:42
snap-ljrwren: Not dead, afaict13:42
rick_hsnap-l: yea, it's pretty dead, author isn't messing with it any more13:42
jrwrensnap-l: that page is dead with link to github13:45
jrwrengithub readme says it dead with link to syntastic13:45
jrwrensnap-l: you can read, right?  ;p13:45
snap-ljrwren: Don't confuse me with facts13:46
jrwrensnap-l the republican13:46
snap-lThe only thing i read on those pages is "how do I download"13:46
snap-lI prefer to think of myself as an independent idiot. ;)13:47
jrwrenlol.13:48
snap-lAnd now I think it's time for Pathogen13:51
rick_hyea, pathogen ftw13:51
snap-lOh, awesome... Squeezebox managed to pick a very soothing background piece of electronica14:28
snap-ldidn't realize it. :)14:28
snap-llike sonic furniture14:28

snap-lDreamed Rules was the album I was listening to14:30
snap-lI know this is likely a moot point, but it appears most of the annoying twits have left identi.ca14:35
snap-lThey're moving to diaspora or Google Plus instead.14:35
snap-lOK, I <3 Syntactic14:42
snap-lhas already helped me clean up dead variables.14:42
rick_hdoes it work right for you? gumble14:42
snap-lYou have to install pyflakes separately.14:43
snap-lor pylint / flake 8, etc14:43
rick_hyea, did that14:43
rick_hok, well I'll give it another go sometime. I ended up just keeping my pyflakes fork14:43
snap-lCheck your bundle directory to see if git didn't eat it14:43
snap-lif you cloned from git, it'll have it's own .git directory14:44
rick_hI think I just installed it, pip style14:44
snap-land that really makes other gits jealous14:44
snap-lNot sure how it works with virtualenvs14:44
rick_hyea, you have to install in each venv, been doing that with pep8/pyflakes14:44
snap-lI installed pyflakes system-wide.14:44
