[12:31] Good morning [12:38] yes [12:39] Tinging. Working well so far. No network problems [12:39] brousch: That's awesome! [12:40] I would have been upset if it wasn't working. [12:44] It even says 4G sometimes [12:46] brousch: That's better than we get in this side of the state. :) [12:51] Supposedly our Sprint LTE went live a few weeks ago [12:51] I love the detail view on the Ting website [12:52] Yeah, it's really nice. [13:04] i get ATT's fake 4G on my iphone4S and it is a lot faster than their 3G on wifes iphone4 === widox_ is now known as widox [13:46] I think most projects are like an onion: peel away the layers to reveal new layers, and with the removal of each layer begin crying. :) === jrwren_ is now known as jrwren [14:09] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/08/5-reasons-to-donate-to-ubuntu-edge [14:10] Jono will be at OLF? [14:10] next campaign I suggest someone might hire a person with pledge-drive experience [16:17] ok, abandoning the nick 'Blazeix', which was chosen when I was ~13 [16:17] now I at least match my github name [16:17] !!!!!!!! [16:17] i know, irc-suicide, right? [16:18] I did that a while ago, too. In about 2007. I became realname esque everywhere. [16:18] i'm at least initials now, and i won't get people assuming my nick is marijuana-related... [16:18] I was ok leaving behind the nick that was associated with my angsty teen years ;) [16:18] hah! I never thought of it that way! [16:19] yeah, neither did i, until the 3rd or 4th person asked me... [16:19] haha [16:21] <_stink_> well mine is pretty professional, so i'm keeping it. [16:21] _stink_++ [16:28] Is there a place to see if a nick is already taken? [16:28] snap-l: /msg NickServ INFO [16:28] snap-l: /whois should help [16:28] ah [16:28] what waf said [16:29] if a nick isn't used for 10 weeks, plus a week per year it was registered, you can get a staffer to associate it with your account [16:30] neat === snap-l is now known as cmaloney [16:36] There [16:36] huh! [16:36] nickicide day [16:36] <_stink_> haha [16:37] who's next? step right up [16:38] BLAZEIX!!!! I'll never forget you. [16:38] that blone hair was so cool, its how I remembered you. [16:38] now you are just a wife acceptance factor. [16:38] hahaha [16:39] or a build system, apparently [16:39] wife acceptance factor? huh [16:39] <_stink_> haha, wife acceptance factor [16:40] Also, the past tense of waf is waft [16:40] So if waf was here but left, he waft by [16:41] oh, real name? is waf your initials? william axel folley? [16:41] u just got waft, punk [16:41] Going to keep the nick on the other networks, but that's been something I've wanted to do before [16:41] jrwren: yeah, initials, matches https://github.com/waf [16:42] Unfortunately I'm not the only craigm [16:42] and craigmaloney is too long to type [16:43] yeah, my issue is I need the - (or some other separator) due to my name [16:44] greg is already taken everywhere (except identi.ca ;) ), greggrossmeier is too long, gregg is a mispelling of my name, gjg is alright, but not the best, greggros was my first email address username (autogenerated with my local ISP)... [16:46] and fukkina just sounds weird [16:46] haha, greggros is kinda catchy. sounds like someone with a speech-impediment saying 'legos' [16:46] Or a Doctor Who villan [16:46] The greggros waged war with the krotons [16:47] ultimately the destroyed each other, and left this place [16:48] :-P [16:53] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2KZJzoz-qI hrm... i don't think we have hte same definition of super advanced. specifically use of filter, map, and reduce is basic cs100 concepts. [16:56] i suspect it depends on the language, run-of-the-mill python code favors list comprehensions and such over functional concepts, right? [16:57] as opposed to something like C#, where you better know your linq [16:57] yes and list comprehensions ARE a functional concept. [16:57] a list comprehension is a specific case of map [16:57] and can be combined with filter [16:57] and if it has the if part of the list comp, then filter... right [16:57] exactly [16:58] but stuff like the itertools lib is what i usually reach for when going typical functional [16:59] which, given my 5-second review of that 1.5 hour video, is what he's presenting? [17:01] i've no idea. [17:01] i didn't watch it. [17:01] i read summary, "This tutorial covers some of the more complex features of the Python programming language including, functional tools(filter map reduce), itertools, metaclasses, decorators and more." [17:01] none of which is superadvanced IMO [17:02] well, "more complex" doesn't mean "the most complex" just "more" which, unless you have a baseline could be "more complex than learning how to do if then's" [17:03] hence "i don't think we have the same definition of super advanced" [17:03] none of that seems too advanced, though tbh i don't know what metaclasses are in python [17:03] what would you consider super-advanced? [17:03] something outside of the language spec. [17:04] like generating python bytecode and runtime and executing it [17:05] maybe i'm too old school and think people should actually know the langauge they are using :) [17:06] You ask the impossible! [17:06] it is a reasonably big language, but its python. Its all pretty easy. [17:07] decorators might be a leap [17:08] i take it back. i'd call metaclasses advanced. [17:15] I dunno. I aspire to know everything about Python, but I'm in no way able to say I command every aspect of it [17:15] It's like saying I need to know the totality of physics in order to drive a car [17:17] cmaloney: Welcome to the channel! I hope you enjoy your stay. [17:19] Thank you. Long time respirator, first-time caller. [17:19] * cmaloney feels like trolling ubuntu-locoteams [17:20] Nobody will suspect who I am [17:20] muhahahaha [17:25] I want this http://www.amazon.com/Internet-Programming-Python-Aaron-Watters/dp/1558514848/ [17:25] cmaloney: NO ONE commands every aspect. not even guido. [20:17] jcastro: I may or may not have just linked to the gentoo is for ricers webpage to some coworkers [20:18] i love that thing. [20:19] hah [20:20] Jim Zemlin didn't know about it until OSCON [20:20] I was in the beer line and we were talking about it [20:20] and he was like "what is this page?" [20:20] I had to load it on my phone and show it to him [20:26] phew, home at last [20:26] hwo goes? [20:26] good! [20:27] cmaloney: New subwoofer ordered [20:27] my Rush experience should basically crush anyone right now. [20:31] ugh, emails there are many and I even kept up while I was away [20:41] jcastro: Which one did you get? [20:41] jcastro: I found one at the Salvation Army for $20 (YST-SW45) [20:42] It's a little underpowered, but my den is small, so it works perfectly. [20:42] Got the "please stop testing your music" seal of approval from JoDee
