snap-lGood morning12:19
brouschyes12:21
brouschThough my heels hurt today12:21
snap-lbrousch: Rough night in stripper heels last night?12:22
brouschNo. My 4th day doing standing desk12:22
snap-lAh. Liking the progress so far?12:23
brouschYeah. My heels are the only issue so far12:25
brouschThey hurt this morning, now they feel numb12:25
rick_hmorning12:26
snap-lbrousch: I think you might be overdoing it12:31
rick_hok, politics aside, this TX thing is crazy12:33
rick_htalk about waking up to a crazy twitter stream12:33
brouscheh?12:34
rick_hreally? You didn't see anything about this Texas Senate thing last night?12:35
snap-lI don't watch the news.12:35
brouschI don't either12:35
brouschI see it now12:35
rick_hman, it took over my twitter feed12:36
snap-lAll I'm seeing in the NYT story is why we can't have nice things12:36
rick_hI don't either but it came from everywhere last night it seems.12:36
brouschI don't read twitter much either12:36
brouschsnap-l: http://my.firedoglake.com/kitoconnell/2013/06/25/senator-wendy-davis-filibusters-sb5-anti-abortion-bill-in-texas-live/12:36
rick_hsnap-l: which one is that?12:36
brouschThat seems good12:36
snap-lhttp://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/27/us/politics/texas-abortion-bill.html?pagewanted=all&_r=012:36
snap-lAnd all I know for certain is I'm not a woman, and thereby have 0% authority on this subject. :)12:38
snap-lFor those of you who might think there is a rounding error, that's 0.00000000000000%12:39
rick_hI love that they did my old trick from college coding projects12:39
rick_htouching the modified times to force themto be on on time12:39
snap-lrick_h: Heh12:39
rick_hthe fact that they got someone, to go onto the website and change dates is funny12:39
snap-lI thought it might have been the 10 hours standing in pink neakers filibustering. ;)12:39
rick_hthat's crazy12:40
rick_hI mean there's a whole bunch of politics/womens rights stuff in there. but the whole thing is just nuts overall12:40
snap-lI love how it's a hot button issue for people for whom it has absolutely no bearing whatsoever12:41
jrwrenbrousch: i had the same standing desk transition issues. just power through, no big deal.13:06
brouschI will build 2" calluses13:09
jrwrenstop pacing in place.13:09
jrwrenfocus on good standing posture.13:09
brouschI think I'm a heel stander13:12
brouschI have to consciously shift my weight forward13:12
rick_hmy wife is a heel walker, I can't get her to change it much at all13:12
rick_hthuds on the wood floors as she thunders around the house...but don't tell her I told you that :)13:13
brouschSuch lovely blackmail material13:13
rick_hhah13:13
rick_h"So um...yea that webgl stuff is kinda cool I guess..." http://microsoft-news.com/webgl-spdy3-new-dev-tools-more-confirmed-for-ie11-in-win-8-1/13:15
rick_hand time to start using spdy on your servers now with FF/Chrome and soon IE supporting it!13:15
jrwreni don't know if i should trust the wii, but it said my balance was off so I try to adjust for that :)14:00
jrwrenspdy3 ?14:00
rick_h jrwren must be 3rd gen spdy?14:01
snap-lY'know there's just a certain magic to getting a makfile right14:01
snap-lbut once you do, it's a beautiful thing14:01
brouschindeed14:01
jrwrenhttp://www.pcworld.com/article/237878/can_you_do_real_work_with_the_30_year_old_ibm_5150_.html14:10
jrwrenthere is no magic to makefile if you know what they do. even the default macros aren't magic. they are beautiful and powerful.14:10
jrwreni just wish teh default macros were extensible. C/C++ only is kinda drab.14:10
snap-ljrwren: That article on the 5150 is interesting14:29
snap-lWonder if the same could be said for the Atari 800. ;)14:30
jrwrenVERY different machines. 1/20th the ram in an 800 IIRC14:38
jrwrenno 80col mode :(14:38
snap-ljrwren: There's a terminal program that handles 80 col14:41
snap-land on a monochrome monitor it's mostly usable. ;)14:42
snap-lAnd the 5150 shipped with 16K of RAM14:42
snap-lthough it tops out at 512K (iirc) and not 64K.14:42
jrwren640k according ot article.15:10
jrwrenbase model may have shipped with 16k, but this model had 640K15:11
rick_hugh, so come Aug I won't be doing python or web dev work :/15:13
brouschSleeping all day?15:13
rick_hwoot!15:13
rick_hGo :/15:13
brouschThat's used for actual things?15:13
rick_hjuju :)15:14
snap-lrick_h: So is this a good thing?15:14
rick_hsnap-l: not really...kind of a thought provoking thing15:14
jrwrenyou lucky bastard.15:14
jrwrengo is awesome.15:14
jrwrenpython and webdev SUCK.15:15
jrwrenterrible combo.15:15
jrwreni was doing a bunch yesterday and it dawned on me how many steps back it is from asp.net15:15
jrwrenno local cache model FFS! what is this? 1995?15:15
rick_hhuh? no local cache model?15:16
jrwrenyes, or rather you have to write your own.15:17
rick_hhttps://pypi.python.org/pypi/dogpile.cache15:17
jrwrenequiv of asp.net's Cache object15:17
snap-lOr god forbid use something like memcache.15:17
jrwrenmemcache has another place.15:17
rick_hit's python, it's been done15:17
* rick_h goes to look at wtf asp.net's cache object is...15:18
jrwrenyes, that dogpile cache looks SWEET15:18
snap-lhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178597(v=vs.100).aspx15:18
jrwrendon't bohter it is just a weak dictionary with timed out values.15:18
rick_hso wtf...you're angry that you need a dep to get caching in your app?15:18
* snap-l bites tongue15:19
jrwreni'm angry I don't already have the dep.15:19
brouschDjango should have it all built in!15:19
snap-l[insert snarky thing about this isn't PHP]15:19
jrwreni'm angry because my environment was/is 5yrs old with 8yr old tech.15:19
rick_hcaching is an anti-pattern :P15:19
* rick_h runs away15:19
jrwrenyes, django SHOULD have that built in, and i'm angry because I'm using cherrypy 2.215:19
jrwren:p15:19
snap-ljrwren: What the hell are you on as an environment? CentOS 6?15:19
jrwrencustom distroo15:20
jrwrenbased on rhel515:20
snap-lOh FFS15:20
jrwrenyes, it is a certain hell.15:20
jrwrenstill python2615:20
snap-lyou can sideload python 2.715:20
snap-lwe do that on one of our Ubuntu 10.04 machines15:20
jrwrenyou miss the point :p15:20
rick_hjrwren: well, use dogpile. It's another mike bayer product to help replace the old pylons cache layer that basically got abandoned.15:21
snap-lNo, I get the point. I'm in denial. ;)15:21
rick_hand does it a lot better15:21
jrwrenyes, dogpile looks SWEET15:21
jrwreni'm also angry becuase... THREADS! GIL!15:21
rick_hfor a web app?15:21
rick_hor something else?15:22
brouschthreads are an anti-pattern!15:22
snap-ljrwren: Threading is for Java. ;)15:22
rick_hjrwren: and you can't easily do it with with multi-process module?15:22
snap-lGo green. Go green threads. ;)15:22
jrwrenbecause I don't have threads and shmmem i use 2 processes producer/consumer and a file as the non shared mem.15:22
jrwrenmultiprocess MIGHT have worked, i'm unsure.15:22
jrwrenthis hack works, and then after that I was angry because json is slow :)15:23
jrwrenjson is really slow :)15:23
rick_hjrwren: using the build is json lib?15:23
jrwrenyes, built in.15:23
rick_hjrwren: what python version are you on?15:23
jrwren2.615:23
jrwrenits ok. i'm just bitching.15:24
jrwrenits just often i feel like i end up with bandaid on bandaid instead of doing the right thing15:24
rick_hjrwren: yea, I'm just checking when they pulled in simplejson which was faster because it used some c-extension bits15:24
jrwrenand often those bandaids are because of python15:25
jrwrenyes, I have an old simplejson and an old cjson already on there.15:25
rick_hwell old doesn't help :P15:25
jrwrena huge part of the json slowness was solved by moving to cPickle15:25
rick_hcool15:25
rick_hyea, that'll live in C-land and be quick15:25
jrwreni'm just bitching.15:25
snap-ljrwren: We're just trying to keep you from pining for the Fjords.15:26
rick_hyea, bitching with reason is cool. And if I can kill a couple of reasons for you we all win :)15:26
jrwrenprobably bitching because what really should be done is the entire prod environment upgraded, and that is a big piece of work.15:26
rick_hok, so the asp.net cache is varnish + dogpile15:29
jrwrenoh, i wasn't even thinking of the varnish side of it.15:29
jrwreni could care less about page caching.15:29
jrwrenreally just wanted a cache object.15:30

brouschEw. This happens to you East siders? http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/1h3jst/fish_fly_season_in_michigan/18:39
snap-lbrousch: Yes, the closer you get to lake st. clair18:42
snap-land yes, they're rather disgusting18:42
rick_hyea, down where my in-laws live it's crazy18:42
rick_hI guess you can't drive because the roads slick with bug guts18:42
rick_hlots of accidents every year18:42
snap-lI hadn't  heard of them until I started dating JoDee18:42
snap-land we experienced them first-hand in Macomb18:42
brouschThat is nasty18:43
brouschWhy would you live with that?18:43
jrwrenits only once a year18:43
jrwrenand most years aren't bad.18:43
jrwrenits just the 2 yrs of the cycle that is bad.18:43
rick_hbecause it's for about two weeks and you get lake front living the rest of the time18:43
snap-lhonestly they're the dumbest flies I've ever seen18:45
snap-lthey just sit on things waiting for death18:45
brouschThat's like 10% of the good weather months covered in flies18:45
snap-lthey're the Bill Knapps of the insect world18:45
snap-lhttp://i.imgur.com/2DVKoCJ.jpg18:46
rick_hlmao18:46
snap-lOK, that's just nasty18:46
brouschJust one more reason I'll never move to Detroit18:47
rick_hyea, that's the thing that's blocking you lol18:48
snap-lThink of it as the east-side's answer to lake-effect snow. :)18:56
snap-lhttp://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/1h3jst/fish_fly_season_in_michigan/caqnt1518:58
brouschIt's weird, but they get a lot more snow north and south of GR19:08
brouschMy family in Niles gets way more snow every year19:09
