=== alpacaherder is now known as skellat [16:37] anybody around uses alpine for there mail services [16:52] nvm i figured it out [17:16] cid420: heh [17:16] I use mutt [19:30] thafreak: some debian people really like salt [19:40] My head hurts. Too much XML. [19:40] paultag: salt is interesting. [19:40] different concept than say, puppet or chef. [19:40] aye [19:41] anyone want to parse 300MB XML files? [19:41] * 2031 [19:41] that's it? [19:41] nonono. [19:42] fun fact of the day [19:42] the files are 300MB each [19:42] nbd [19:42] there are 2031 of them. [19:42] Wikipedia's full mutli-gig dump is a single XML file [19:42] and 1 additional each week, also the same size. [19:42] ew. [19:42] I've parsed that [19:42] I don't think you can scare me [19:42] yes i can. [19:42] :) [19:42] if i tell you where this data comes from. [19:42] USPTO. [19:42] i have to parse PATENTS. [19:43] dude [19:43] do you know what I do for work? :) [19:43] parse congressional records. [19:43] nonono [19:43] that's another team [19:43] oh.. [19:43] are you patents? :P [19:43] nah, worse [19:43] (I haven't followed sunlight lately) [19:43] i'm scared. [19:44] I scrape all 50 states + 2 (DC and PR)'s legislative everything [19:44] 250+ scrapers [19:44] you aren't openstates, are you? [19:44] pdf scraping [19:44] yeah, I am [19:44] hah! [19:44] I do a lot of PDF scraping [19:44] and a lot of OCD [19:44] OCR [19:44] and a lot of hurt [19:44] no, ocd is a good way of putting it. [19:44] webpages with 3 body tags [19:44] others with invalid markup [19:44] pages that use a white 'i' rather then a space [19:45] that sounds easier than these... but i can't judge. [19:45] We also parse FEC filing data [19:45] which is also insane [19:45] cid420: Yes I do. [19:45] whats that Unit [19:46] was it about alpine i asked before?
