| snail | ibeardslee: mÅrena | 20:16 |
| snail | the webservice I mentioned on the bus is http://www.greenstone.org/macron-restoration-service/jsp/en/main.jsp | 20:16 |
| ibeardslee | And this is the bug for the LibreOffice mi_NZ dictionary .. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53517 | 20:17 |
| mwhudson | morning | 20:20 |
| mwhudson | snail: does that just replace doubled vowels with vowel + macron, or is it cleverer than that? | 20:21 |
| snail | mwhudson: it's substantially cleverer than that | 20:35 |
| mwhudson | cool | 20:35 |
| snail | mwhudson: alas it really only works on whole sentences | 20:36 |
| snail | mwhudson: so it's not good for checking software translations | 20:36 |
| mwhudson | ah | 20:36 |
| mwhudson | and my tiny bit of maori doesn't really stretch to sentences :) | 20:37 |
| chilts | morning | 20:45 |
| chilts | playing with Node.js and Postgres isn't fun at the moment (just starting) ... should be a good combination once I work out the weird stuff :) | 20:45 |
| mwhudson | databases and event based programming tend not to get along very well, ime | 20:45 |
| ajmitch | chilts: too many half-baked libraries, no clear winner? | 20:47 |
| chilts | ajmitch: I think node-pg is the winner for Pg connections ... I have it working now | 20:50 |
| chilts | wasn't disconnecting once all my queries were finished since I was listening to the drain event at the wrong time :) | 20:50 |
| chilts | mwhudson: I'm thinking that they're going to be great together - Pg comes with an async client library | 20:51 |
| chilts | so node-pg can use that native one, or use it's own (JS) one | 20:51 |
| chilts | MySQL also has an async client library | 20:51 |
| mwhudson | oh | 20:51 |
| mwhudson | i must be out of date then :) | 20:51 |
| chilts | so it's not like it's an unknown science | 20:51 |
| chilts | :) | 20:51 |
| chilts | yeah, I'm reaquainting with DBs since I've been doing NoSQL for a while now | 20:52 |
| chilts | or no SQL at all :) | 20:52 |
| mwhudson | i don't know sql | 20:52 |
| mwhudson | i just know postgres :) | 20:52 |
| ajmitch | heh | 20:52 |
| chilts | I like how I can do a query and then listen as each row event occurs :) | 20:52 |
| mwhudson | database portability can go hang | 20:52 |
| ajmitch | postgres is standard enough | 20:52 |
| chilts | mwhudson: that's ok, you've chosen the right thing in Postgres :D | 20:52 |
| ajmitch | it was mysql that was a bit loose with sql standards | 20:53 |
| chilts | agreed, there is no such thing as DB portability | 20:53 |
| mwhudson | ajmitch: it has looooooooooooooooooooooooooooads of extensions | 20:53 |
| chilts | no-one I know has ever switched DBs on a big project | 20:53 |
| chilts | well, except Stuff when we switched it from Oracle to Pg | 20:53 |
| chilts | :D | 20:53 |
| ajmitch | mwhudson: that it does | 20:53 |
| mwhudson | chilts: i think that transition is probably the commonest :) | 20:53 |
| ajmitch | I'm guessing you;ve used a few of those extensions over time | 20:53 |
| * ajmitch is still mostly using mysql | 20:53 | |
| chilts | yeah, and we re-wrote the entire site at the same time 'coz the caching was shit | 20:53 |
| mwhudson | when i started on this project, you _could_ run it on sqlite | 20:54 |
| chilts | heh | 20:54 |
| mwhudson | not any more though | 20:54 |
| chilts | yeah, I've seen that, sqlite in dev mode, something else in prod mode - doesn't make sense to me :) | 20:54 |
| chilts | mwhudson: which project? | 20:54 |
| ajmitch | mwhudson: you're still working on linaro stuff like lava? | 20:55 |
| mwhudson | chilts: validation.linaro.org | 20:55 |
| * chilts looks | 21:05 | |
| chilts | containts == contains ? | 21:05 |
| chilts | (front page) | 21:05 |
| chilts | is that not a Canonical thing? or is it? am just wondering if you're still working for them | 21:06 |
| mwhudson | oh probably, the front page is terrible | 21:06 |
| mwhudson | chilts: i still work for canonical, but linaro contracts canonical for software engineering services | 21:06 |
| chilts | sweet | 21:07 |
| chilts | is it a fun project? | 21:07 |
| mwhudson | it's interesting :) | 21:07 |
| mwhudson | we've been very short staffed of late | 21:07 |
| chilts | it looks cool | 21:07 |
| mwhudson | although i think we've just hired two new bodies, which will help | 21:08 |
| Atamira | morning | 22:34 |
| Atamira | beautiful beautiful day | 22:35 |
