jhansonxiderekv: I love netbooting LiveCD/DVDs so a distro change is only an <alt><sysrq><b> away.  Good for demoing DEs.02:10
jhansonxiI wish that distros other than Debian-based supported netbooting with NFS mounting.  Most just want the entire ISO dumped into initrd and served over TFTP.  Way too slow.02:11
derekvjhansonxi: virtualbox03:40
jhansonxiderekv: Netbooting also allows me to test distro compatibility with target hardware before installation.  Also good for repairs.03:41
rick_h__morning11:26
snap-lGood morning11:44
=== brousch1 is now known as brousch
jrwrengood mornin12:36
snap-lbrousch: http://reinout.vanrees.org/weblog/2012/09/18/vagrant.html <- I'm amused this is becoming more prevalent.12:36
brouschYeah, I'm working with 3 OSX guys on viget.org, and they are pretty much dead in the water without vagrant12:37
brouschIt took another guy a full day to get postgis working on OSX for use with a Ruby project12:37
rick_h__hmm, no mention of homebrew12:38
brouschIn the comments12:38
rick_h__wonder if he missed the boat that things moved on to there12:38
brouschThe boat moves too often12:38
rick_h__yea12:38
snap-lbrousch: ++12:38
rick_h__not that I disagree, if you want to do linux use linux12:38
rick_h__I've always said a mac is a shitty linux machine12:38
brouschIt is12:38
snap-lAnd conversely Ubuntu can be a shitty mac.12:39
snap-lI'm just glad it's got everything I need12:39
brouschKDE makes it all good12:40
snap-lKDE makes it a shitty Windows machine. ;)12:40
brouschYou can make your Ubuntu into a Mac or Windows with KDE12:40
snap-lbrousch: I can make art from bull semen too, but I'm not about to try.12:41
brouschYou should enter that in ArtPrize. You could with $250,00012:42
snap-lAlready been done. (was re: Metallica's Load / Reload)12:42
rick_h__heh, I was going 'crap they changed the twitter ui...wtf' then loaded greader and I see the posts about it12:43
snap-l?12:43
snap-lWoah.13:00
snap-lhttp://techcrunch.com/2012/09/18/dice-holdings-buys-slashdot-sourceforge-and-freecode-from-geeknet/13:02
rick_h__interesting, so totally thinkgeek or bust13:04
snap-lYep13:05
rick_h__makes some sense I guess. "which of these is not like the others"13:05
snap-lThey're focusing on the one that makes money13:05
rick_h__"The deal is bringing Dice a set of sites that are profitable and generating good revenues"13:05
rick_h__seems they all are :P13:05
snap-l*cough*13:05
snap-lThough I can forsee something like github / stack exchange careers coming to fruition sooner than later.13:07
snap-llink your SF.net code to your dice profile13:07
rick_h__yea, it makes some sense there I guess13:07
snap-lIt's not as bad of a fit as some other companies I can think of13:10
snap-lbut I'm wondering what it'll look like in a year.13:10
snap-lI finally deleted my Dice Profile because it was a douche magnet.13:10
=== jcastro_ is now known as jcastro
jcastroprobably because most tech recruiters are douches13:16
rick_h__sales people...can't stand sales people13:17
jrwrenyou guys are obviously not software devs. You can't make ubuntu into a mac at all, and when you make it a shitty windows machine, its really called wine.13:19
snap-ljrwren: You can make Ubuntu into a shitty mac machine, you just can't run XCode and develop iPhone apps on it. ;)13:23
jrwrenwe have different definitions of "mac machine"13:24
jrwrenI'm not sure, but its going to be very difficult to make ubuntu use dyld as its loader.13:25
rick_h__hah13:25
snap-lPicky picky.13:26
jrwrenas for that "use vagrant" I'm pretty sure I've built all of those in a virtualenv on osx.13:27
jrwrennot sure what this guys deal is.13:27
jrwrendyld is just tip of the picture. there are many differences between mac and ubuntu.13:27
jrwrenone can make ubuntu look like it has a mac veneer13:28
brouschbcrypt is the current best way to store passwords, right?15:07
rick_h__works for me15:08
rick_h__mitechie approved lol15:15
brouschThe rick_h_ stamp of approval is always nice15:16
brouschI'm enabling bcrypt in django15:16
brouschCrap, now I lost the stamp15:16
jrwrenany tips on finding a python generator ignored Runtime Exception15:17
rick_h__jrwren: what was the exact exception? recusion depth, generator exit?15:18
snap-lJust had a fire drill here15:20
snap-lThat was fun15:20
jrwrengenerator i15:21
jrwrengnored GeneratorExit15:21
jrwrenand the Traceback is entirely wrong AFAIK15:21
rick_h__http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-August/068429.html15:21
rick_h__brings up something along those lines on how it's a bit crazy15:21
jrwrenyes, i can google too :)15:21
rick_h__:P15:21
jrwrenbut do you have any advice on finding the root ?15:21
rick_h__but no, I don't hit that much15:22
snap-lOK, I find this comment somewhat hypocritical, considering where I'm reading it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=453793015:37
jrwrensnap-l: agreed.15:40
jrwrenthe amazing thing to me is just how slow the death of slashdot has been15:41
devinheitmuellerslashdot is still around?15:48
devinheitmueller;-)15:48
paultagI love /.15:48
brouschI read about 1 article/day there15:48
paultagyeah, me too.15:48
jrwreni haven't read /. regularly in a long time, maybe even 10 yrs.15:50
jrwrendoes python not like nested exception blocks?15:50
paultagI read it about twice a day, quality is very much not great15:50
paultagjrwren: nah, it can handle that fine15:50
brouschI get it via RSS15:50
jrwrenis socket.error somehow special?15:50
paultagjrwren: not that I know of, why?15:51
jrwreni've got a try: socket.close() /*which is causing a socket.error*/ except socket.error,e: #blah15:51
jrwrenand the exception is still bubbling up, not being handled.15:52
paultagjrwren: except socket.error as e?15:52
paultagjrwren: and it looks alright here15:52
paultagdo you have a small example?15:52
jrwren_cpwsgiserver.py from 2.2.1 :)15:53
jrwrenso no, i dno't have a small example.15:53
paultagbleh :)15:53
jrwrenexactly15:53
paultagit might be coming from somewhere else?15:53
paultagwhat's the traceback?15:53
jrwrenI think so, because of a generator exception15:53
jrwrenbut now I'm triggering it without that Generator Exit Error15:53
jrwrenit seems obvious what is happening to me, but I can't handle it.15:54
jrwrencherrypy wraps the socket with makefile and eventually calls close on that file wrapper15:54
jrwrenwhich flushes and closes15:54
jrwrenbut the socket is already closed15:54
jrwrenso sendall causes a socket.error15:54
jrwrenso I try to catch socket.error, but nope!15:55
jrwrencan't catch it.15:55
jrwreni want to play pokemon with socket.error but it won't play with me. #gotta catch 'em all15:55
paultag:)15:55
jrwreni almost want to say socket.py is buggy.16:03
jrwreni should look at 3k and see if it is different.16:03
rick_h__jrwren: they aren't monkey patching socket or anything are they?16:06
rick_h__greenlet/etc kind of stuff going on?16:06
jrwreni don't think so.16:06
jrwrennope, its a threaded server :(16:06
jrwrenbut they are using makefile, which is nice, but this close() funciton looks wrong16:06
jrwrenindeed, 3k returns an entirely different beast.16:07
jrwrenio.TextIOWrapper16:07
jrwrenugh, its changed a lot.16:09
rick_h__they reorged exceptions in 316:09
jrwrenbut leads me to beleive it was changed for good reason and is a problem.16:09
rick_h__the whole oserror stuff is a mess in py216:09
jrwrenno no, not exceptions, socket.makefile()16:09
jrwrenused to return a pure python file like object typeof _fileobject(object) in socket.py16:10
jrwrennow it returns a io.TextIOWrapper16:10
jrwrenwhich looks like a beast of C16:10
jrwrenhttp://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3a880d640981/Lib/io.py16:10
rick_h__ah, must be to make it unicode happy?16:10
jrwrenmaybe fixes this close bug.16:11
jrwrenI don't think it had unicode issues16:11
jrwrenStringIO is unicode happy, even in 2.7, right?16:11
rick_h__I mean TextIOWrapper needed to make a unicode friendly io stream stuff16:11
jrwrenbut definitely gonna perform a lot beter with all those buffers implmeneted in C16:11
jrwrene.g.  http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3a880d640981/Modules/_io/iobase.c#l180  this is different behavior than 2.7's _fileobject16:13
jrwrenchecks if it is closed before flushing and closing.16:13
jrwrenits a funny thing that cpython. WAY more lines of code to make your code go faster!16:15
paultagthat's often the case16:16
jrwrenyeah, its even true in F# and ocaml.16:17
rick_h__http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/102zyo/bazaar_on_the_slow_track/16:18
jrwrenofficial GNU prject. now see, to me that is a turn off :)16:30
jrwrenwow! "Launchpad and Bazaar have never really been meant as products in their own right, but more as facilities to build Ubuntu. "16:35
paultagI'm glad everyone's honest about that now16:36
rick_h__yea16:36
jrwreni read that as: "dont use bazaar for version control unless you are building ubuntu"16:36
jrwrennot everyone, that is the Bazaar lead dev16:36
paultags/unless you are building ubuntu//g16:36
jrwrenlol.16:36
jrwrenis there a git to bzr bridge?16:36
paultagyah, I think so16:37
paultagjelmer wrote python-dulwich16:37
paultagI think that was for playing between the two16:37
rick_h__not a great one16:37
jrwrenlaunchpad is damned good. lp was github before github. it just stopped inovating and github took things to next level, IMO16:37
paultagrick_h__: it's an awesome name16:37
paultagrick_h__: mr. and mrs. git are from dulwich16:37
rick_h__bzr people hate git saying it's unintuitive16:37
paultagbollocks16:37
rick_h__but I've found bzr to be a mess16:37
jrwrenbollocks16:37
paultagyou just need to get into the right mindset, and understand how git works, don't treat it like svn16:37
jrwrenit is unintuitive if you don't use your brain :)16:38
paultage.g. don't learn push and pull first, learn about remotes and fetches16:38
paultagthen it will become clear what a pull does16:38
jrwrenpaultag knows !16:38
jrwrenand use the reflog!16:38
jrwreni used bzr and never saw the reflog AFAIK16:38
jrwrenand if I did, it was no easy to use.16:38
rick_h__yea, too many people act like the reflog is like delving into the kernel source code16:38
jrwrenin git it is easy to use.16:38
paultaggit is easy to use16:39
rick_h__we had this discussion at the last CHC where someone said rebase was 'dangerous'16:39
paultaghahaha16:39
paultagoh lrody16:39
jrwrenrofl.16:39
paultaglordy*16:39
paultagwhen you use --force like a dillweed16:39
rick_h__and I went off that it's just people don't use it, don't practice it, but with the reflog nothing's ever lost16:39
jrwrensomeone been reading the wrong writing and not thinking for themselves.16:39
paultagyeah16:39
rick_h__and then reflog was like this arcane library you had to travel up a mountain to get at16:39
paultagbrb, foods and stuff.16:40
rick_h__so they want to pretend it's not there, therefor rebase is dangerous :/16:40
snap-lhttp://www.reddit.com/r/fossworldproblems/comments/102iu2/ubuntus_boot_loader_menu_no_longer_mentions_linux/16:52

jrwrenANDROID DOES NOT MENTION LINUX!!!17:05
rick_h__android is not linux...it's a limited set of apis on top of linux and things that work on android don't work on linux17:06

jrwrenVMWare ESX DOES NOT MENTION LINUX!!!17:06
rick_h__he loves to say how everyone uses linux because they use android17:07
jcastrohah17:07
jrwreni love to say that too.17:07
jcastroI don't use linux, I use ubuntu17:07
jcastrowhich has linux in it17:07
jrwrenforget linux on desktop, linux in your hand, and it did ubuntu bug #1 - no one runs palm or windows ce anymore. they run linux17:07
jrwrenyeah, what jcastro said.17:07
jrwreni love ubuntu, but I don't like a lot of other linux. slackware or gentoo for instance don't help me as much as ubuntu, so I don't like them as much17:08
paultagjcastro: you run linux, that's your kernel. You have other stuff, sure, but that's like saying, "I'm not using an engine, I'm using a Ford!"17:10
paultagwhich is sorta true, but also sorta false.17:10
paultagnot trying to get into some flame here, just sayn'17:10
jrwreni think you just proved his point.17:11
paultagperhaps.17:11
jrwrenyou use a computer and drive a car.17:11
paultagbut I acknowledge the fact I have an engine17:11
jrwrenwhen asked what kind of car, you don't say "2.0L 4 cyl" you say "ford focus"17:11
jrwrenthe engine is assumed17:11
paultagI do usually stuff the engine stuff too17:11
paultagbecause models have different engines, but I'm also a gearhead17:11
jrwreni don't, becusae I don't drive anything exciting.17:12
paultagI know i'm an exception, but saying you don't run linux is silly17:12
rick_h__I have a synaptic17:12
jrwrenif I drove a CTSV, then, sure.17:12

jhansonxiHumble Indie Bundle 6 is available: http://www.humblebundle.com18:04
rick_h__party18:05
greg-g+1/-1 this idea: Creative Commons partners with Humble Bundle to do a bundle of great CC-licensed music albums (or maybe short films?). CC gets a share of the proceeds a la what EFF gets now.18:09
greg-g(and the creators obviously do as well, a la what they do now)18:10
jhansonxiThey did have a movie in a previous bundle.  They sometimes include a full game music download for some games.18:14
greg-gyeah, I've seen that, but this is a specific idea, like it or no? :)18:15
* greg-g is looking for fundraising methods for CC18:15
greg-gmomma's gotta pay rent!18:15
rick_h__hah18:16
snap-lgreg-g: Did you see the Double Dragon Neon soundtrack was released CC?18:16
snap-lI added it to the end of the latest OMC18:16
jhansonxiMusic is kind of a crowded market.  I haven't heard much about the Severed Fifth/Liberate album (Jono Bacon's band).  I suspect that a free offering wasn't too successful at generating revenue.  Death Metal is a niche which doesn't help.18:17
greg-gso, again, the marketing arm behind Humble Bundle and CC for a pay-what-you-want collection of 5 or so albums: like it or not?18:18
jhansonxi Depends on the albums.  I have a wide range of tastes but many people don't.  There's no shortage of bad music on the Internet.  I'm not against the HB/CC concept.18:21
greg-gok, so a 0 then. got it.18:26

paultagso, who's down for some debian bug squashing at OLF?18:36

snap-lI may never play half the games for the bundle, but I'll still buy it18:55
