lobbes: well, current saltmine (doing reporting) not only doesn't have awk, nor bash, but is on winblows (no surprise) and no administrative rights
to do anything useful on computer). It is comical really.
The amount
they spend in
time/money
to do
things
that could be done with a 5 minute bash/awk (which again, just goes
to show
that in Incan lands it isn't about actually doing, just looking like doing)
ossabot: Logged on 2018-12-04 10:15:46 mircea_popescu: lamp was, in strict historical
terms,
the ~only~ linux success.
mircea_popescu: at any rate
transparently what php set out
to be back in 1990s, "what if we had a web-awk???".
lobbes really does need
to learn bash and awk already, in any case
lobbes: well I'm glad you
think
that of sql; I've never known if I could count it as a 'programming' language
lobbes: that may be part of it haha.
The more I do learn,
the more I realize
that I don't like it enough
to ~want~
to be in front of a computer all day
mircea_popescu: in fairness, sql is as much a programming language as any of
them. bash,
too.
mircea_popescu: from what i've seen, most people decide
they don't really like computers once
they get
to know
them at all.
lobbes: and even
then, it has always been 'soft computering' like reporting, sql queries, excel jockying, etc.
The only programming language I really know is python (and
that I've only ever used here in
tmsr)
lobbes: I mean, I make my living doing it in Incan lands, sure. But
the bar is much lower in
those lands
lobbes: idk, I've got some
thinking
to do
lobbes: though
tbh,
this whole experience makes me
think
that maybe computers just ain't my
thing. Perhaps I ought
to
think about BingoBoingo's writing for Qntra course a little more instead of
this
TMSR OS project
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 04:57:27 mircea_popescu: so : who would like
to do a spot of work for hire for me ?
the ideea is
to write and publish as a vpatch a stan logbot extension which a) processes search,
through
talking
to a [presumably present] mysql server, and spitting out
the results (formatted as in
http://trilema.com/2019/ lobbes: I'll keep combing it for bugs in
the meantime, what can you do. Gives me
time
to make sure
there will be no issues on prod server either I suppose
lobbes: mircea_popescu: I hear you on
that. Welp, I failed
this one
mircea_popescu: i'll be back in settled circumstances willing and able
to do such
things sometime early next year.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, no but
think about it, even if i add
the dump now, it'll be 20+ hours until it ~completes~. i'd like
to you know, have more
than a day after
that if a problem crops up. it's just not feasible anymoar.
lobbes: otherwise, for
the foreseeable future I will be available whenever you are
to look at
this (save for
the last week of December)
lobbes: mircea_popescu: well, what are you looking at for hours left? I can
try and get
this
to you in
the next say 5 hours
mircea_popescu: so im guessing having failed
to make it run in
this window we'll look at it again when i'm back ?
mircea_popescu: ftr,
today's
the 5th, just started ; and it's also
the absolute last day i can possibly receive
this
thing. after
that, ima be on
the road for a while.
lobbes: weird huh. Possibly I was just implementing it wrong; I haven't looked
too much into it
tbh.
Though I did find a workaround (instead of "<" operator, simply a "<>". I ultimately just need
to
tell if
the days have changed from one line
to
the next, so
that works); re-running my archives into my
testblog now.
Then I'll be going
through with a veeeyyry fine
toothed comb
lobbes: in any case, fixing now (there was also an issue with some of
the bot lines being out-of-order, which will also be fixed).
lobbes: well I found
the source of
the conflated months weird. For whatever reason,
the date compare for python fails when it is comparing formatted dates across months... i.e. "31 Mar 2016 < 01 Apr 2016" evaluates
to ~false~, yet "30 Mar 2016 < 31 Mar 2016" evaluates
to
true like it should
lobbes just finished saltmines bs and is about
to start cutting
that dump now.
mircea_popescu: here's
to hoping he shows up, im bored enough i'm here going
through
trilema logs and shit
deedbot: 2019/12/04 06:03:55 <lobbes> mircea_popescu: seeing as
these were fence post errors, I'm going
to get some sleep and cut
this again with a fresh head. I'll get
that dump
to you
tomorrow (with just
the fix
to
the months)
mircea_popescu: i suppose it
tries
to put an a href inside an a href huh.
mircea_popescu: wtf
they
teach xtian masters of science in oklahoma is anyone's guess by
this point.
BingoBoingo: Down here I've seen more of
the latter.
Then again "porch piracy" is not a concern here while it's endemic in old country.
hanbot: priority post, right, where your priorities ain't
theirs.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-04 10:07:40 BingoBoingo: Who would have
thought
the English would be
the ones
to sloppily fail
to repack
things being shipped.
hanbot:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-04#1954294 << eh it's ~always
the "civilized" folks doing
the stupidity-via-disrespect; i had a camera shipped
to cr a while back amidst worries
the locals would fuck it somehow, but it was
the US side
that stole it.
the other half of
the snailmail racket just delivers stupidity-via-formalisation, almost a kind of
too much respect for
the items in question, zero respect for
the agents involved.
BingoBoingo: Should be quite some
time before
the kid runs out of bubble wrap
to pop.
diana_coman: well,
tbh I saw way worse from others ie not-packing-at-all, literally left as an overflowing mess; it's still funny
though, certainly.
BingoBoingo: Who would have
thought
the English would be
the ones
to sloppily fail
to repack
things being shipped.
diana_coman: they half-heartedly shove it all back in again ie
they didn't steal anything but didn't really pack it either; one of
the drive bays' clamp was sticking out of
the box even; I
took some pics for
the lolz but not sure when/if I get around
to publish
them.
BingoBoingo: Did
they fail
to replace
the bubble wrap or steal
the foam padding?
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: found
them (ie 1 bag), yes; on
the other side, even
the corner of
the metal case is bent, lolz.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman:
ty for letting me know. Have you found
the misc screws and pull loops for
the rails
tucked into
the leftmost drive bay?
diana_coman: BingoBoingo_:
the server finally arrived (and rather surprisingly, since
the
tracking page had no mention of any delivery date even
this morning),
thank you; it's been
thoroughly pawed and decorated with "border force"
tape but
they can't hold a candle
to you when it comes
to packing, clearly.
lobbes: mircea_popescu: seeing as
these were fence post errors, I'm going
to get some sleep and cut
this again with a fresh head. I'll get
that dump
to you
tomorrow (with just
the fix
to
the months)
lobbes: I would also hate
that, no need
to worry
mircea_popescu: i would FUCKING HATE IT if
this is what i do for
the coming years, find and fix lobbeslog bugs.
mircea_popescu is now somewhat petrified by
the process, seeing how
the first 2-3 errors were found on
the spot,
the 4th only once a few articles were in, and
this last one only after a month was in.
mircea_popescu: aite, im stopping
this. restate your
thing properly! by which i mean, fix
this one
thing ; don't fix
the rest of
the issues, i've as you've seen meanwhile written bash around it.
lobbes: goddamn it. yes
those fencing errors. I'll need
to keep a better eye on
that going forward
lobbes: mircea_popescu: oh ffs, I
think I did
mircea_popescu: please
tell me you didn't do
this systematically for EVERY month, whereby
they all start on 2nd ?
lobbes: they're looking good so far. ah
this is nice
to see
mircea_popescu: with apologies
to anyone who perhaps had business
to
transact
today, #trilema is undergoing
the second (and forevermore last) festival of log recuperation ; should be done in about
twenty hours.
mircea_popescu: well, ~under~
the
toolbars on
trilema ; but fwis on most other blogs it ends up on
top.
lobbes: mircea_popescu: nice. sorry for all
the gyrations
mircea_popescu: i suspect
there might be a further issue with date formats
there
tho.
mircea_popescu: the problem with multiple posts on
the same exact second is
that mpwp sorts
them incorrectly. (like feedbot, gets
them in reverse order).
mircea_popescu: what i ~meant~ was, by-reference-to-bash-script published, "take ~TIMECNT~
to be so and so".
mircea_popescu: lobbes, well, in
the process of fixing, should have something presently.
