<lilo> Hi all. Problems continue with hubbing arrangements for Oz. If you think you might be able to provide a hub in that area, we're looking at about 40K bits per second average, a fair amount of international traffic. Please take a look at http://openprojects.net/sponsoring_servers.shtml and email lilo@openprojects.net .... thanks.

AaronSw: I have some small changes to suggest for your Google weblog
04:02:23 [AaronSw]
Go right ahead.
04:03:18 [deltab]
the relative links in the Mozilla Googlebar quote should be changed
04:04:15 [deltab]
(since xml:base or xlink:base or whatever isn't supported :-)
04:04:16 [AaronSw]
oops
04:04:57 [AaronSw]
fixed.
04:05:16 [deltab]
"www2.google.com" should link to http://www2.google.com/ not http://www.google.com/
04:05:42 [deltab]
"took" should be "takes"
04:06:16 [AaronSw]
yeah... i was sort of uncomfortable editing the blockquote. guess it can't hurt
04:06:49 [deltab]
what blockquote?
04:07:02 [AaronSw]
that text is in a blockquote
04:07:20 [deltab]
ohh
04:07:35 [deltab]
the indentation changes, making it not look like a quote
04:07:53 [AaronSw]
um, isn't that how blockquotes are indicated?
04:08:20 [deltab]
I mean the second paragraph of it is unindented

04:09:01 [AaronSw]

* AaronSw attempts to validate
04:10:38 [deltab]
ah, so it's your CMS putting in the tags
04:10:42 [AaronSw]
yep
04:10:58 [deltab]
but apparently not the link to www2.google.com
04:11:10 [AaronSw]

04:31:04 [AaronSw]
Man, I screwed quite a bit up.
04:31:22 [deltab]
the SearchDay quote also needs its tags rearranged
04:35:03 [walloper]
<lilo> Really nice material on WOPN atm.
04:36:09 [AaronSw]
searchday: fixed
04:36:19 [AaronSw]
too bad I can't hear WOPN :(
04:38:45 [deltab]
a space after "article" in Google Copycats
04:39:39 [deltab]
a link from "t23" to http://dmoz.org/profiles/t23.html would be nice
04:39:54 [AaronSw]
I had that, but it made me two degrees away from pron.
04:40:13 [deltab]
I was wondering what t23 was, and whether I should have heard of it
04:40:26 [AaronSw]
ah, ok
04:40:33 [deltab]
ah
04:41:03 [deltab]
so it oculd adversely affect your pagerank
04:41:22 [walloper]
<lilo> News on that rotation server outage earlier. It appears that the provider's upstream suffered a DDoS in the middle of a 2-gigabit bandwidth upgrade. So we'll leave that server out of rotation for now, but if it looks stable, we'll be able to add it back after a decent interval. Thanks.
04:41:28 [deltab]
(I need to learn how to type "could")
04:42:31 [AaronSw]
how about (managed by dmoz contributor t23)
04:42:39 [deltab]
yeah
04:42:47 [deltab]
that'd be great
04:42:53 [AaronSw]

04:42:58 [AaronSw]

04:43:51 [AaronSw]
aargh
04:44:52 [deltab]
yikes
04:45:08 [deltab]
can you make your CMS fix them?
04:46:30 [AaronSw]
i just tried that and it screwed up twenty entries with no undo, thus the aargh
04:46:41 [deltab]
oh :-(
04:47:10 [deltab]
got a backup?
04:47:27 [AaronSw]
i'm copying and pasting from an open window i have with the source
04:48:05 [deltab]
sorry to cause you this trouble
04:48:22 [AaronSw]
no, it's not your fault at all
04:50:54 [AaronSw]
it's either mt usability or my inability to distinguish between "SEARCH" and "REPLACE" buttons
04:51:31 [deltab]
the former - no undo, you say?
04:51:45 [AaronSw]
yeah. it has a big warning before you search saying so
04:51:53 [deltab]
ugh
04:52:32 [deltab]
well, that's better than no warning I suppose
04:52:40 [deltab]
but why can't it undo?
04:53:17 [AaronSw]
because then it would have to do journaling
04:53:46 [deltab]
ah
04:54:51 [deltab]
I wonder how hard that would be, especially compared to manually undoing
04:55:58 [AaronSw]
yeah. otoh, it won't help you after you've already screwed up, so there's not a ton of incentive
05:01:22 [AaronSw]
oh shoot. just closed the window i was working from
05:03:07 [AaronSw]
* AaronSw grabs a recent backup from google
05:05:42 [deltab]
I have a more recent version
05:06:51 [AaronSw]
it's ok, i already fixed the recent entries
05:11:11 [AaronSw]
phew, all done
05:21:19 [deltab]
I was going to suggest Beta and Labs sections for the links at the top, but you're probably not wanting to make any more changes yet :-)
05:22:32 [AaronSw]

they don't

15:05:14 [bitsko]
and this, http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Technical/2002-06-11.01.html/
15:05:32 [bitsko]
is why I think Apple's Obj-C is broken at the lowest levels.
15:05:53 [bitsko]
(note, that's "Apple's", not necessarily Obj-C in all flavours)
15:06:14 [AaronSw]
how would you fix it?
15:06:35 [bitsko]
and I have heard the staunchest proponents of Apple's Obj-C actually promote that this is all a "good thing"
15:06:43 [bitsko]
Garbage collection for one.
15:07:04 [bitsko]
2) drop the OO-Purist attitude about accessors
15:07:30 [bitsko]
accessors are a factoring, not a given
15:08:00 [bitsko]
iow, Python gets this right.
15:08:15 [AaronSw]
woo!
15:08:22 [deus_x]
I feel dumb, but: What do you think is broken about the accessors in that article? the memory management?
15:08:58 [bitsko]
David Stes' Obj-C does GC.
15:09:11 [deus_x]
Obj-C without the retain/release?
15:09:14 [bitsko]
the memory management is one part, it shouldn't be necessary
15:09:16 [bitsko]
yes
15:09:29 [bitsko]
works beautifully.
15:10:02 [AaronSw]
wait, apple objc doesn't do gc? aaaefhgsaujs
15:10:07 [bitsko]
no marked difference in execution performance (give and take, mostly)
15:10:32 [bitsko]
nope. didn't know that?
15:10:52 [AaronSw]
nop
15:10:53 [deus_x]
I just started getting my hands dirty in Cocoa, and I love it, though the memory management is my most hated part.
15:12:07 [bitsko]
iirc, mainline GNU Obj-C gives the option now. the main resistance is from Apple and refactoring the Cocoa library
15:13:08 [bitsko]
GC has different warts, of course
15:13:41 [bitsko]
usually those warts are in hard to see spots, though.
15:14:09 [bitsko]
all of the GC warts can be worked around, too
15:15:12 [deus_x]
I wonder if one could make a GC framework to toss in? Like another autorelease pool or something that GCs on a thread?
15:15:25 [bitsko]
the other part about accessors that is broken is that they shouldn't be necessary. there's no reason you shouldn't just be able to just read/write a property directly in 80-90% of the cases -- and it's at least an order of magnitude faster
15:15:41 [deus_x]
Ahh, I see. That's what you meant about the OO-purist attitude.
15:16:37 [bitsko]
I think they've tried GC a couple of times, but the hard part is that the code for retain/release is already there (hard to no-op), and it shifts your warts around.
15:16:41 [AaronSw]
"But when she asked Matt why she couldn't make CNN.com any larger, Matt launched into one of his geek tirades with lots of big technical words, got very frustrated, and finally said there was nothing he could do.
15:16:41 [AaronSw]
"
15:17:28 [bitsko]
if anyone ever wonders why Cocoa apps are slow, that article explains probably half of it right there.
15:17:42 [bitsko]
<sigh>
15:18:40 [bitsko]
by coincidence, I've "worked" with John Randolph and Don Yacktman as attributed in that article ;)
15:19:14 [bitsko]
never on the same projects tho -- never met them in person
15:21:56 [bitsko]
as a warning: never suggest this kind of stuff to a NeXT/Apple veteran. you'll get fried
15:22:14 [deus_x]
I could imagine :)
15:22:29 [bitsko]
they are so entrenched it will take word from God^H^H^H Jobs to change it
15:23:57 [bitsko]
and mind you, even with those criticisms Obj-C is a good two orders better than C++, and possibly more than a good deal better than Java
15:26:20 [bitsko]
it's also faster than Python, a little bit
15:26:59 [deus_x]
I keep wanting to dig into GNUStep some more. Though I love working with Cocoa, I hate being stuck with just OS X
15:28:14 [bitsko]
from what I hear, GNUStep is very capable now. most people's "starter apps" should work on GS
15:28:22 [bitsko]
it's usually the broader things that don't work
15:28:23 [deus_x]
But that memory management thing still has me confused, especially after having been buried in perl and java for years
15:28:35 [bitsko]
:( I know
15:29:25 [AaronSw]
i wish they'd hurry up nd finish pyobjc
15:30:54 [deus_x]
That would be very nifty. Might just make me stop looking at Camelbones. (Man I wish I could escape Perl :) )
15:34:00 [AaronSw]
pyobjc ias actually pretty far along

A::I think Rael and his code (blagg, blosxom, amazox) is solid. I don't consider blagg a competitor however - it requires too much from the end user.

21:59:18 [Morbus]
A::Ordering by last update? Channels or items? Channels are already ordered by last update, but in the current version, you could order them alphabetically, reverse alphabetically, by date added, etc. It's a few lines of code - another loaf/slice sort of thing.

well, I think that that was a Swhack golden moment
23:07:08 [AaronSw]
Indeed.
23:07:11 [sbp]
like when DanC came in and told us about Mr. Grape
23:07:20 [sbp]
I still can't believe that I missed that
23:07:32 [AaronSw]
You missed that? Oh, man.
23:07:40 [sbp]
then again, if I had been there time would have been irreversibly changed, and Morbus wouldn't have been born
23:08:25 [sbp]
heh, heh: 2001-12-11.txt:23:09:46 <sbp> DanC came in here and started talking about Mr. Grape? What is it with this channel?
23:13:12 [sbp]
I feel a rant coming on, and it's going to be about trailing full-stops in IRC
23:13:24 [sbp]
I feel that a line has an implicit period at the end of it
23:13:40 [sbp]
People don't keep
23:13:44 [sbp]
talking over many
23:13:48 [sbp]
lines because it's
23:13:49 [sbp]
very
23:13:50 [sbp]
VERY
23:13:52 [sbp]
annoying.
23:13:55 [deltab]
011404 #swhack <sbp> People don't keep
23:14:05 [deltab]
put them in a freezer
23:14:09 [sbp]
lol!
23:14:20 [sbp]
that's exactly my point, then :-)
23:14:59 [sbp]
OTOH, perhaps it's more like a period/comma choice
23:15:12 [sbp]
since one can use "since" on the next line and have it make some sort of sense
23:15:36 [deltab]
* deltab nods
23:16:10 [sbp]
but I don't think that I've ever come across a situation where that wasn't clear from context
23:16:20 [AaronSw]
how do i fix this?
23:16:20 [AaronSw]
print '<h4><a href="' + item.link.encode('utf8') + '">' + item.title \
23:16:20 [AaronSw]
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
23:16:40 [sbp]

23:17:01 [lilo]
[GlobalNotice] Hi all. Apologies for the hubbing problems. It appears we still need new main hubbing. Requirements for a main hub: T3 or better, multihomed, 40K bits per second average traffic, extremely stable routing. If you think you can provide a server, please take a look at http://openprojects.net/sponsoring_servers.shtml and email lilo@openprojects.net. Thanks.
23:17:05 [deltab]
technically right, but won't help this
23:17:15 [sbp]
oh, good point. I'm thinking in circles
23:17:29 [AaronSw]
utf-8: nope
23:17:36 [sbp]
you need to convert it to ASCII somehow, and that's a pain in the nuts
23:17:41 [sbp]
do you know what encoding it uses?
23:17:49 [AaronSw]
encoding what uses?
23:17:53 [AaronSw]
i don't want to convert it to ascii
23:17:57 [deltab]
the default for Pytho is ASCII
23:18:03 [AaronSw]
ok, maybe i do
23:18:13 [AaronSw]
is there some htmlencode(x)?
23:18:38 [deltab]
'&#%d;' % ord(x)
23:18:56 [deltab]
:-)
23:19:01 [sbp]
if ord(x) is not in some standard character range, that is...
23:19:01 [lilo]
[GlobalNotice] (Note: Hub IPs on OPN are not public.)
23:19:17 [AaronSw]
hm. how do i find the chars for which it'
23:19:21 [himan]
himan has left #swhack
23:19:26 [AaronSw]
s gt 128
23:19:52 [sbp]
if ord(x) > 127, I suppose
23:20:21 [sbp]
you can filter out those octets that are causing problems, that way
23:22:13 [sbp]
def htmlencode(s):
23:22:13 [sbp]
result = ''
23:22:13 [sbp]
for c in s:
23:22:15 [sbp]
if ord(c) < 128: result += c
23:22:15 [sbp]
else: result += '&#%d;' % ord(x)
23:22:16 [sbp]
return result
23:28:28 [sbp]
s/ord(x)/ord(c)/
23:29:37 [walloper]
<lilo> Hmmm. Probably the worst time to make a humorous response to a notice is immediately after a service problem.
23:30:56 [walloper]
<lilo> It's not a killer, just something to keep in mind.
23:32:48 [walloper]
