[14:20] <waldo323> good morning
[14:21] <_stink_> yo
[14:22] <waldo323> cmaloney, getting back to you re cron scheduling, we have some tasks on particular days weekly, some on particular schedules.  I'd be most interested in spacing/neatly scheduling the weekly jobs which need to be run on particular days
[14:22] <rick_h> morning
[14:22] <waldo323> happy new year!  wondering when I
[14:22] <waldo323> will write 2017 instead of 2018 first
[14:26] <_stink_> when you writ eyour first check of 2018
[14:26] <_stink_> HAHAHA
[14:26] <_stink_> funny right, writing a check?
[15:05] <waldo323> not yet, I don't typically write them though, and I make use of things like date +%Y_%m_%d which should save me from messing it up for a while
[15:07] <jrwren> date -R 4 lyfe yo.
[15:49] <cmaloney> Good morning
[15:49] <cmaloney> waldo323: I think you might want to check into a job scheduler
[15:50] <jrwren> isn't cron a job scheduler?
[15:50] <cmaloney> It is, but something with a little more smarts than what cron has
[15:50] <waldo323> :)
[15:50] <waldo323> thanks
[15:51] <jrwren> because its not just multiple things needing schedules, it is state-interdependant multiple things needing schedules.
[15:51] <cmaloney> You also might want to look into something like Luigi: https://github.com/spotify/luigi
[17:12] <waldo323> thank you
[17:33] <goat-g> yeah, time of execution sounds like a needed bit here
[17:34] <goat-g> brousch: I got an email from joindiaspora re your birthday on the first :) assumed it was a fake bday
[17:37] <jrwren> goat-g: why are you a goat?
[17:40] <jrwren> `man timeout` limit the time something runs.
[17:42] <goat-g> jrwren: I decided to transition from irssi to weechat+glowing bear over break, not 100% happy with the config yet, so irssi is running with my real nick over in screen 0 :)
[17:43]  * goat-g switches nicks
[17:44] <jrwren> you could use `timeout -s STOP` and then manually examine why it took so long and stopped and then `kill -s CONT` to continue if you wanted to let it keep going.
[17:44] <greg-g> meh, me just kills irssi
[17:45]  * greg-g pours one out
[17:45] <jrwren> greg-g: poor irssi. I'm not ready for the leap just yet.
[17:45] <greg-g> :)
[17:46] <greg-g> I know, and I just put this awesome irssi sticker on my new laptop (well, in Aug)
[18:14] <cmaloney> heh
[18:14] <cmaloney> I've been rather happy with Weechat greg-g so if you need some pointers I might be able to help with the transition
[18:14] <cmaloney> and as always, dumb looks are free
[18:15] <cmaloney> s/dumb looks/blank expressions/
[18:17] <greg-g> :)
[18:18] <greg-g> rubby ducky mode? :)
[18:18] <greg-g> rubber*
[18:18] <greg-g> I don't want to rub anything
[18:19] <greg-g> cmaloney: what are your buflist settings?
[18:20] <greg-g> /set buflist.*
[18:23] <cmaloney> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26308001/
[18:23] <cmaloney> I don't think I did anything special in there
[18:24]  * greg-g nods
[18:24] <greg-g> doesn't look like it
[18:24] <greg-g> what frontend do you use?
[18:24] <greg-g> (if any)
[18:24] <cmaloney> tmux
[18:24]  * greg-g nods
[18:24] <cmaloney> weechat-curses
[18:25] <greg-g> right right. Was wondering if you were a 100% glowing bear or whatever person
[18:25] <cmaloney> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26308011/
[18:25] <cmaloney> a what?
[18:26] <cmaloney> No, I'm 100% terminal
[18:26] <cmaloney> via ssh
[18:26] <cmaloney> (though Glowing Bear looks rather nice)
[18:30] <greg-g> yeah, I'm doing glowing bear on my phone, and -curses via mosh+screen :)
[18:30] <cmaloney> Sweet
[18:32] <cmaloney> Also - Pro-tip: Do not accidentally substitute * for % in Python: print("foo %s" * bar)
[18:32] <cmaloney> That does not end well
[18:33] <greg-g> :)
[18:44] <jrwren> just more evidence that static type checking is good.
[18:47] <cmaloney> Nah, I likke juggling with fire. :)
[20:25] <_stink_> cmaloney++
[20:39] <Scary_Guy> But what advantages does cmaloney++ have over regular cmaloney?  Also, will Microsoft put out its own version of cmaloney#? :P
[21:25] <cmaloney> cmaloney#
[22:47] <greg-g> cmaloney: do you use the smartfilter for filtering out most joins/parts?
