mrgoodcatdid any of you know  theabout /etc/os-release file?00:41
mrgoodcatgah00:41
mrgoodcatabout the *00:41
jrwrenzomg, I can linux on the desktop now: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/27vr19/firefox_30_released_finally_supports_gstreamer10/00:46
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/HOyjye - Too Many Requests00:46
mrgoodcatjrwren: what was preventing you before?00:50
cmaloneymrgoodcat: I knew about lsb_release01:19
cmaloneybut not os-release01:19
mrgoodcatos-release is not distro-specific01:20
mrgoodcatit's part of systemd so it can be used on most distros now01:21
jrwrenmrgoodcat: nothing. i'm just happy about the firefox h264 support via gstreamer01:21
mrgoodcatwell most may be an overstatement01:22
mrgoodcatbut systemd is slowly becoming the de-facto "standard"01:22
cmaloneyrick_h_: I just want to know: how is UPS going to deliever this? http://mashable.com/2014/06/11/titan-zeus-370-inch-tv/?utm_cid=mash-com-G+-main-photo01:40
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/XeEsQH - This 370-Inch TV Costs $1.6 Million — and Someone Actually Bought It01:40
cmaloneyand I think Erica might notice it. :)01:41
gamerchick02who would pay that much for a TV?01:45
mrgoodcatgamerchick02: who wouldn't01:45
mrgoodcatif i had 1.6M to burn on a TV i'd for sure have a movie theater01:45
gamerchick02i wouldn't, partly because i don't have 1.6 million bucks and i could find a bunch of other things to spend it on.01:45
mrgoodcatthat's why i said "on a TV"01:46
gamerchick02ah01:46
mrgoodcatit assumes that i am rich enough to be able to budget 1.6 just for my TV01:46
gamerchick02yes for a movie theater01:47
mrgoodcatpresumably i've already bought Ferarri and Porsche01:47
mrgoodcatthe companies not the cars01:47
gamerchick02LOL yes01:47
mrgoodcatand commissioned a real-life iron man suit01:47
mrgoodcatthat's very important01:47
gamerchick02dude01:47
mrgoodcathigher priority than the TV01:47
gamerchick02that'd be awesome01:47
mrgoodcatcan't figure out why Elon Musk doesn't already have one01:48
mrgoodcator Richard Branson01:48
mrgoodcator any one of the tech gazillionaires01:48
gamerchick02if i was Richard Branson i'd surely have an Iron Man suit.01:48
gamerchick02what about Bill Gates?01:48
mrgoodcathe's too grounded01:48
gamerchick02hah, literally01:48
gamerchick02he'd rather bring world peace and water and education to everyone.01:49
gamerchick02which, if i was Bill Gates, i probably would do that too.01:49
mrgoodcati'd have an Iron Man suit01:50
mrgoodcatlol01:50
gamerchick02of course!01:50
mrgoodcathmmm maybe someone in this channel more versed in blockchain and privacy can tell me if this could possibly be as good as it seems http://storj.io/01:51

mrgoodcatwho was that at coffee house coders tonight?03:10
mrgoodcatwriting the weechat plugin03:10
trevlarmrgoodcat: me12:53
mrgoodcatah. now i can't remember why i was even looking for you13:02
mrgoodcat¯\_(ツ)_/¯13:02
mrgoodcatsorry13:02
mrgoodcatanybody here play with rust?13:05
brousch__mrgoodcat: My car does13:10
mrgoodcatha13:10
mrgoodcatso that's a no then?13:10
cmaloneyOff to a great start. :)13:23
cmaloneymrgoodcat: Haven't played with Rust yet13:23
cmaloneySeemes every day another company comes up with another language. :)13:23
cmaloneyBeen sticking with Python this whole time.13:23
cmaloneywith a smidge of Javascript because you can't swing a dead cat around a web browser without hitting Javascript.13:24
mrgoodcatcan't do systems programming in python or javascript13:25
cmaloneybullshit. :)13:26
cmaloneyBut yeah, it's not as fun. :)13:26
jrwrenwhy can't you do systems programming in python?13:28
cmaloneyBecause Hacker News said so13:29
jrwrenI knew you could13:29
mrgoodcatjrwren: my friends and i are developing a toy kernel for the rapsberry pi for learns. if you can figure out a way to do it in python let me know13:29
jrwrenwell, i could, but why would i :p13:29
jrwrenuse C for that :p13:29
mrgoodcatthat's what we're doign13:29
cmaloneyActually Python would be sweet as a kernel13:30
mrgoodcatwell c++ actually13:30
cmaloneycreate a mini bootloader that brings up Python13:30
mrgoodcatinb4c++sucks13:30
jrwrenpython would not be sweet as a kernel13:30
jrwrenoh, a mini bootloader.13:30
mrgoodcatcmaloney: ha we were thinking about micropython13:30
cmaloneythen you can have all the fun of duck-typing IOCTLs.13:30
jrwrencmaloney: yeah, that would be sweet.13:30
jrwreni'm actually OK with duck typing ioctls too.13:31
jrwrenhow about embedding cpython in teh linux kernel and writing linux kernel modules in python?13:31
jrwrenhrm... does pypy offer a means to ahead of time compile?13:32
cmaloneyUnsure.13:33
jrwreni didn't see it listed.13:34
jrwrencython then!13:35
cmaloneyYeah, I think pypy's claim to fame is the jit13:36
cmaloneyKind of like asking to run Java without the JVM13:36
mrgoodcatok well if you dont like new languages, then maybe new privacy minded storage methods...13:37
cmaloney?13:37
mrgoodcathttp://storj.io13:37
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/avZkDZ - Storj - The Future of Cloud Storage13:37
cmaloneyGod, that again? :)13:37
mrgoodcathaha13:37
mrgoodcatthere was no comment about it last night13:37
mrgoodcatso i figured i'd ask again13:37
cmaloneyTHERE WAS A REASON THERE WAS NO COMMENT13:38
cmaloney;)13:38
mrgoodcati'm really just wondering if it's even viable13:38
cmaloneyIs there money involved?13:38
mrgoodcati dont know enough about blockchain13:38
mrgoodcatyes, money in and out13:38
cmaloneyIs it controlled by a centralized authority?13:39
mrgoodcatno13:39
cmaloneyThen it will be gamed and is ultimately doomed to failure. :)13:39
mrgoodcatyou earn Storcoins (bitcoin clone) by allowing it to use your disk space and calculating the checksums, Storcoins can be redeemed for money13:40
cmaloneyRight, as can micropayments. :)13:40
* cmaloney is trying to think of what the 1990s ___gold was called13:41
cmaloneye-gold.13:42
cmaloneyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-gold13:43
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/13dOi - E-gold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia13:43
jrwrencmaloney: and yet, that is like asking to run C# without the VM, and that is exactly what mono aot does :)13:43
cmaloneyjrwren: That's because there's value to C#. :)13:44
cmaloneyAs opposed to Java, where everyon'e first step with theJVM is to ditch Java. :)13:45
mrgoodcatlol13:45
mrgoodcatthere are a billion JVM languages13:45
cmaloneyExactly.13:45
jrwrenkinda true.13:46
cmaloneyI'm being a little glib here but I'm not aware of the same "rip out the language" mentality in the .NET environment.13:46
cmaloneyEven though .NET kinda encourages it.13:47
jrwrendefinitely not.13:47
mrgoodcatwell c# is pretty nice13:47
mrgoodcatso...13:47
jrwrenthere is good support for F# and VB.NET of course, but i dno't see people running from C# like they run from Jaba13:47
jrwrenI love C#13:47
brousch__VB.NET r0x!13:47
mrgoodcatC# the hutt13:47
mrgoodcatpython.NET13:48
mrgoodcatgo13:48
cmaloneymrgoodcat: Definitely. There's ironpython and ironruby13:49
mrgoodcatyup13:49
cmaloneybut I consider those more porting an existing language13:49
cmaloneyClojure and Scala are new languages that replace Java.13:49
brousch__ironpython is very neglected, and ironruby is dead13:50
cmaloneyNot aware of .NET languages that were totally new, third party creations.13:50
cmaloneybrousch__: Unsurprising13:50
cmaloney(and yes, F# is totally new, but that's Microsoft's doing).13:51
mrgoodcatthat's because there isnt any real compelling reason to use ironpython or ironruby13:51
mrgoodcatafaict13:52
cmaloneyYeah.13:52
jrwrenand ironruby is abandoned13:53
jrwrenand ironpython has like 1 person working on it, kinda.13:53
jrwrencmaloney: there is Boo13:53
jrwrencmaloney: there is unityscript :)13:53
jrwrenboth totally new, third party creations13:53
cmaloneyjrwren: I stand corrected.13:54
cmaloneyHow many of them have O'Reilly books? :)13:55
cmaloneyor Pragmatic Programmer books? :)13:55
jrwrenlikely none.13:56
enleetenthere's a C# implementation for the JVM13:56
mrgoodcatrly?13:57
enleetenhttps://code.google.com/p/stab-language/13:57
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/mwTCQs - stab-language - A multi-paradigm programming language designed for the Java Virtual Machine - Google Project Hosting13:57
jrwrenwow13:57
jrwrenscala isn't far from a C# for jvm :p13:57
enleetentrue13:57
enleetenbut stab is almost a direct clone13:58
enleetenI want to like scala but it's like perl13:58
jrwrenindeed. I love it. this stab lang is great.13:58
jrwrenbut... type erasure :(13:58
cmaloneyWhat's wrong with Perl? :)13:58
enleetenit tends to turn into unreadable ick after a while13:58
cmaloneyenleeten: Only if you don't do chmod a-w before it becomes unreadable. :)14:00
enleetenha that should be in the scala docs14:03
enleetenmaybe perl isn't the best analogue14:03
enleetenmaybe C++ for the jvm14:03
enleetenwould be more accurate14:03
jrwrenperl is far more readable than any erlang I've ever seen.14:08
jrwrenand the kids LOVE erlang14:08
jrwrenin todays climate of codereview, I don't feel perl would get unreadable.14:08
jrwrenyou'd have guidelines similar to pep8 that say, use the verbose option of all the vars in perlvar14:10
jrwrenand checking tools to catch where that doesn't happen14:11
jrwrenalthough $ARG and @ARG instead of $_ and @_ is kinda weird in perl14:11
jrwrenbut $GID instead of $( and $GID instead of $) makes lots of sense IMO14:12
mrgoodcatIt is too hard to determine the type of a Scalar, e.g there is no easy way to determine if a variable is a string.14:12
cmaloneyIn Perl?14:16
cmaloneyIt's very easy.14:16
cmaloney[0-9.] <- number14:16
cmaloneyAnything else == String14:16
jrwrenmrgoodcat: that is not a perl thing, that is a dynamically typed thing.14:18
jrwrenzomg, ya know what would be sweet?  openstack nova LXC host migration14:19
jrwrenanyone know if rsync has an option similar to scp -3 ?14:47
jrwrenzomg, I just had a crazy idea... put all my data in ceph... at home. im my basement15:45
brousch__That is crazy.15:46
cmaloneyjrwren: That's utterly brilliant. :)16:22
cmaloneyThen you could put it all in LXC containers all living on the same drive.16:22
cmaloneyToday's lunch: Lentils Curry with Rice16:54
cmaloneylooks like a dog's breakfast. :)16:55
brousch__post-digestion?16:57
jrwrenand i can cry when cephfs fails and I lose my data and then ya'll can tell me "they said not production ready!"17:17
mrgoodcatjrwren: what are you trying to accomplish by running the data through the localhost?17:36
mrgoodcatis it a NAT problem or something?17:36
jrwrenhuh?17:41
jrwrenoh.17:41
jrwrenits ok, i just used scp -317:41
jrwrenbut yes, 1 network is not on internet.17:41
_stink_rick_h_: is there an IRC channel for nose?19:44
_stink_or cmaloney --^19:44
_stink_or anyone.19:44
rick_h__stink_: no, not that I know of19:45
rick_h__stink_: we moved to pytest, nose 1 is deprecated and nose2 was too different and not as usable19:45

_stink_anyway suddenly i'm seeing stuff living from test method to test method in a very strange way - like i instantiate an instance and it suddenly has attributes preset.  weird.19:47
rick_h__stink_: the guy that runs it said it was deprecated so I moved on19:47
_stink_o cool19:48
_stink_thanks for the info!19:48
cmaloney_stink_: We're still using nose19:54
cmaloneyin that we're not really doing a lot of unit testing. :)19:54

mrgoodcatbugs smell a bit bitter on the keyboard19:55
mrgoodcattry that19:55
mrgoodcat:)19:56
cmaloneyall I smell on my keyboard are broken dreams19:56
cmaloneyWait, that's lunch19:56

greg-gfrom last week19:56
cmaloneygreg-g: I'll have you know I sanitize my keyboard once in a great while19:56
greg-gemphasis on great19:57
cmaloneyGREAT!19:57
mrgoodcatif you can't smell teh bug on your keyboard make sure you are sniffing the keyboard you used to write the code. alternatively, put the code on a flash drive and sniff that. Sometimes it works a little better19:57
greg-gcmaloney: now now Tony19:57
