noogenesisso the best argument for tabs is that it allows for this:  lets say everyone on a project agrees on the basic indentation/style/formatting but disagrees only on how many spaces each indentation level should be01:22
noogenesisin theory with tabs its easier to adjust your display of the code01:22
rick_h_noogenesis: == derekv?01:23
noogenesisyea...01:25
noogenesisone sec01:25
=== noogenesis is now known as derekv
derekvweird01:26
derekvsomewhere I have that set as a fallback nick01:26
derekvI guess I don't care that deeply about how much its indented.  8 would be way to much01:28
derekvI think just about everyone uses 4 anyways... can't remember having worked with 201:28
rick_h_two is popular in ruby, coffeescript/js (ruby-ists) and html01:29
derekvI'm not totally groking the arguments against tabs, but I really don't care ... I just want to configure my editor some way and save that in my dotfiles01:31
derekvand go back to not thinking about it.01:31
derekvBut I don't want to be writing files that look like ass when other people open them.01:32
derekvIt looks like more people fall in the spaces camp01:32
derekvhere's the thing, i'll use emacs when I can but i'm often forced to use eclipse or xcode01:33
derekvand I work with other who don't use the same editor, they will use eclipse or xcode or notepad++ or something,01:33
rick_h_so the space thing comes down to looking right everywhere01:34
rick_h_pastebin, other editors, terminal01:34
derekvand not everyone is really aware of formatting issue ie not really aware of how their own editor works01:34
rick_h_if I use 4 spaces, it'll always be 4 space01:34
derekvYea01:34
rick_h_tabs just vary all over the place01:34
rick_h_and then you get into the mixed tabs/spaces in files and have to deal with that01:34
rick_h_in vim I can set it up (and most editors) to just use spaces, replace tabs with spaces, etc01:34
rick_h_and never notice it again01:34
rick_h_I hit the tab key, and all the editors enter 4 spaces for it, it's become the standard that tabs might have been01:35
derekvyea it isn't default though01:35
derekveclipse is horrible01:35
derekvand so is xcode01:35
derekvthe default settings just are all over the place01:35
rick_h_yea01:36
rick_h_fortunately I dont' tend to mess with devs using default things so I'm lucky that way01:36
rick_h_and things like pylint/etc will get angry if you break things01:36
derekvyea01:36
rick_h_even python will get fussy if you mix tabs/spaces in a file so I don't tend to notice it muych01:36
derekvSo either I'm just going to find some settings that don't upset anyone for say xcode and emacs that don't cause whitespace wars01:37
derekveg ideally a file formatted in one, opened in the other and processed with a "correct formatting" command should have no changes01:38
derekvit'll be spaces01:38
derekvor just use this http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/01:40
rick_h_derekv: you're not in #bookie, but looking for opinions from users on favicon support: http://uploads.mitechie.com/favicon_sample.png01:46
rick_h_ugh, this prod db migration thing is going to take forever.01:51
jrwrenAND, tabs aren't really eaiser. a good editor makes it easy either way.  << and >> in vim for example.02:14
derekvugh the thing is I whipped up this thing this week and didn't do much to the default eclipse config02:29
derekvits not like really bad, but suddenly i'm annoyed with myself for not fixing that02:30
derekvgoing over 80 chars etc02:30
* derekv looks 02:33
derekvgreat it mixes tabs and spaces02:33
derekvmaybe I should fix this02:33
derekvtrying to decide which is worse02:33
derekvits worse to leave it I think02:39
derekvi found some of their code and its clean02:39
jrwrenis it python? python really does not like mixed spaces and tabs02:55
derekvno no02:58
derekvjava02:58
derekvits what eclipse does out of the box02:58
derekvyou know how they say you should be in touch with the people who actually use your software03:00
derekvyou can imagine the sorts of things that'd happen if the developers had no clue about the actual needs or wants of the people who were using the software, no understanding of the problem domain etc03:01
derekveclipse strikes me as that sort of software03:01
derekvwhich makes it a sort of paradox03:01
snap-lhttp://paste.mitechie.com/raw/ayBZIxIx5wpKRWzrQQk4/ <- They're definitely getting more creative10:42
snap-lhalf-tempted to reply: "Oh yes, which of my vast number of industrial design posts caught your fancy?"10:43
snap-lFunny enough, mug.org got the same thing10:52
snap-lmust be my strong undercurrent of industrial design hidden in my otherwise otherwise inane postings about life as a FLOSSie10:53
rick_h_ok, so a little bit funny http://goo.gl/OWY1B11:47

brouschsnap-l: How the heck did you get first comment on that Maddog post?12:59
rick_h_snap-l: is crazy like that12:59
snap-lThat wasn't first comment13:04
snap-lit's in descending order.13:04
brouschah13:06
jrwrenlol13:12
jrwrenmaddog Hall? what is he talking about?13:12
brouschhttp://www.linux-magazine.com/content/view/full/5572713:14
rick_h_widox: this mouse is kind of crazy.13:24
rick_h_the scrolling haptic is cool, but still funny because it's not a straight pad like it looks like in the pic online13:25
rick_h_snap-l: you're killing the bmark.us favicon flow :P get those sites to update!13:30
widoxrick_h_: oh, because it has a slight curve to it?13:32
rick_h_no, it's like two split rectangles with a line in the middle that's like a visible sensor13:32
rick_h_so you slide over this little slit in the middle and it detects it as 'scrolling'13:32
rick_h_and middle click is to dbl click on that sensor13:32
widoxah13:41
snap-lrick_h_: Which sites?13:50
rick_h_snap-l: all the music ones13:50
snap-lHah, bandcamp? :)13:50
rick_h_check out the front page right now13:50
snap-lOh, nice.13:51
rick_h_the first 4, and then the next 14 or so after that13:51
snap-lsorry, mate.13:51
snap-lbandcamp has a favicon, though13:51
rick_h_hmm, looking13:52
rick_h_ah, but skagos.bandcamp doesn't13:52
snap-lI'm seeing one13:52
rick_h_bah, http://s2.googleusercontent.com/s2/favicons?domain=bandcamp.com13:52
rick_h_google doesn't know about it13:53
snap-l    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://f0.bcbits.com/z/36/20/3620060950-1.jpg">13:53
rick_h_http://bandcamp.com/favicon.ico13:53
rick_h_hmm, wonder why they have rel=shortcut13:54
snap-lProbably simpler than trying to stuff everyone's favicon into some rewrite rules.13:55
rick_h_no, I get the icon bit, but not sure what shortcut is for13:55
rick_h_and not sure you can have multiple values for rel13:55
snap-lI'm seeing the shortcut being rendered as a favicon under Chrome13:56
snap-lMaybe that could be a fallback rendering path?13:56
rick_h_not sure, looking.13:56
rick_h_in the offical favicon the rel='icon' is supported, but not seeing what supports rel='shortcut' and wonder if that why it fails13:57
snap-lhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#Standardisation13:57
snap-lThe popular rel="shortcut icon" theoretically identifies two relations, shortcut and icon, but shortcut is not registered and is redundant. In 2011 the HTML living standard[15] specified that for historical reasons shortcut is allowed immediately before icon;[16] however shortcut does not itself have a meaning.13:58
jrwrensnap-l: great comment.14:09
snap-ljrwren: Thank you.14:12
snap-lI love the "it's time for the Linux Desktop" mindset now that MIcrosoft is making it's own tablet.14:37
snap-lIt's as if there will be a Holy-Ghost revival of the OEMs as they SEE THE LIGHT!14:38
snap-lAnd not the usual OEM machinations of "it must be a day ending in Y when Microsoft moves the goalposts"14:39
snap-lThat said, I think it'll be interesting times ahead if one of the majors threatens Linux.14:39
snap-lbut I'm not holding my breath14:40
krondorsnap-l:  well MS making a tablet I don't think is the big kick to the OEMs.  I'm actually thinking Apple eating MS lunch kind of opens the floodgate for Linux to an extent14:42
krondorpeople willing to break that lock in maybe.. but yeah next years should be interesting anyway.  Using Win8 metroUI feels bad to me.14:43
krondorI'm hardly the target market though, so there's that14:44
snap-lJust seems like we're constantly looking something to grab onto in order to open the clamshell lock-in of the desktop14:44
jrwrensnap-l: actually, i was thinking about canonical's position with respect to 'tablet' why doesn't canonical enter the hardware market?14:56
brouschCan I install KDE on the Unity Tablet?14:57
snap-ljrwren: I'm not sure15:03
snap-lMaybe because they don't have the hardware partners lined up yet15:03
snap-lor maybe that's part of the plan15:04
snap-lFrankly, I'd be wary of releasing hardware. Hardware is expensive, and depreciates rapidly.15:04
jrwrenyes, but it also makes $15:09
jrwrenbut then that speaks to canonical's goals as a corporation. They surely must be more than just bug#115:09
jrwrenhrm... how does upstart relate to collaboration?  http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/overview15:10
jrwrenpretty simple answer afaict, its not a place where canonical wants to play.15:21
rick_h_the landscape isn't exactly full of success there15:22
rick_h_and there's work there with the TV/android that shows I think canonical is interested in working with existing hardware partners15:22
jrwrenparamiko or conch?15:24
rick_h_paramiko has been superceeded (maybe it's back) from the fabric guys into just 'ssh'15:24
rick_h_http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssh/1.7.1415:25
rick_h_he's basically got an approved paramiko fork used in fabric15:25
rick_h_and is working on getting full permissions to paramiko since the original dev/etc are done with it15:25
jrwrenthanks.15:26
snap-lThere's still releases of paramiko15:27
snap-l2012-05-1715:27
rick_h_yea, but I think they've comed from patches from the fabric team15:27
rick_h_not 100% sure though15:28
jrwrenhttps://github.com/bitprophet/ssh/15:28
rick_h_yea, bitprophet is the head fabric guy and was working around/fixing a lot of paramiko bugs15:28
snap-lYeah, the paramiko page is pretty lagged15:29
rick_h_https://github.com/robey/paramiko/15:29
rick_h_lol, linked from the front page of the paramiko site15:29
snap-lYeah, sar that15:29
jrwreni updated http://wiki.python.org/moin/SecureShell to reflect it :)15:30
rick_h_https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko15:30
rick_h_see the last commit :)15:30
rick_h_https://github.com/bitprophet/ssh/commits/master15:30
rick_h_anyway, that's the story these days. It's a mess and hopefully the two will merge back into one and rule the world15:30
jrwrendoesn't seem too bad to me.15:31
rick_h_well, it's been forever that paramiko was the game in town, and with bitprophet committing to both, life would be simpler if there was just one package to refer to15:31
snap-lThat's not pythonic. ;)15:33
snap-lYou have to have at least two compelling ways to do anything15:33
jrwreni like diversity and choice. i love more than one way to do something.15:49
jrwreni shall now refer to these differences between pragmatism and pythonicism as the idiocy of the pythonic or just pythonidiot15:50
jrwrenbsides videos are up https://www.youtube.com/user/BSidesDetroit16:02
krondorjrwren: ++ thanks, I wanted to go to that but wasn't able16:13
rick_h_when was this? totally missed it happened16:14
krondorWeekend of June 1st at the RenCen I believe, twas free to I think16:16
rick_h_hmm, just missed it I guess16:16

krondorit's been a rough ride for RSA lately.  Other tokens are impacted too, but it doesn't look like yubikey is impacted w/o pkcs#1117:32
snap-lNice. Moved from And Justice For All to to Frizzle Fry.18:06
snap-learlier today it was Limbomaniacs18:06
snap-lApparently the Squeezebox wants to remind me of college.18:06
snap-l(and an elbow-to-the-throat to the first person who says "those were released when I was in middle school / elementary school / before I was born")18:07
brouschHow about, "I have no idea who that is?"18:08
snap-lbrousch: Metallica: ...And Justice For All18:08
snap-lbrousch: Primus: Frizzle Fry (first studio album)18:08
brouschYeah, onbviously I meant the other ones18:08
brouschAh, Primus18:09
snap-lbrousch: Limbomaniacs: Butt Funkin'18:09
brouschIf I had my druthers, I'd screw a chimpanzee18:09
snap-l(Features Brain, later the drummer from Primus during the Brown era)18:09
snap-lsongs / videos NSFW18:10
snap-lbut one of my favorite out-of-print albums18:10
snap-lhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guitarists/Buckethead_task_force/Limbomaniacs18:10
snap-lBah, I meant Stinky Grooves.18:11
krondorsnap-l: alice cooper fan?19:44
snap-lkrondor: Not a huge fan. I have a greatest hits album19:50
snap-ljust haven't gotten around to getting the rest.19:50
snap-lHave tons of respect, though19:50
krondorI watched an insane movie recently with a rant by a girl on how Alice Cooper is responsible for all metal including Punk, was kind of neat.19:50
snap-lThat's an interesting take on it. :)19:50
krondorMovie was called God Bless America (indie film) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1912398/19:51
snap-lWill add to Netflix19:51
snap-lI'd probably put Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin in that category, but Alice Cooper definitely shaped the horror aspects of metal19:52
snap-lRob Zombie has admitted as much19:52
snap-lAlice's interview on Metal: A headbanger's journey is pure gold19:54
krondorhmm, I'll have to look that up.  I haven't listened to much Alice Cooper but I was thinking maybe I should19:54
snap-lHe's a Detroit native, and was on Frank Zappa's label fro a time19:55
snap-lhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Cooper#1960s19:57
krondoryeah I knew he was from here, I actually saw him when I was eating lunch in Royal Oak once walking around with Gene Simmons.  That was kind of odd.19:58
krondorI have to say I don't particularly like Gene Simmons (not knowing him but seeing him on interviews and junk)19:58
snap-lhis public persona is that of a smug jackass, but I think underneath it is someone who genuinely would take a bullet for people.20:00
snap-lThat said, I also think if given an alternative, he'd shove other folks under a bus.20:00
jrwrenomg, loving my job today. i used this as a reference to write 15 lines of code to implement scp on top of 'ssh' https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jbardin-deactivatedaccount/paramiko/paramiko_scp/view/head:/paramiko/scp.py21:36
jrwrenthat was fun21:36
rick_h_jrwren: :) awesome22:58
