@NathanOsman nice, I saw them live. I bet there is going to be a level of light instituted that you can't go over because of them, because just wow
 
@Mateo You saw them live? O_o
 
was amazing.
 
I can imagine.
 
hm, that had to be 3-4 years ago
 
trans siberian is nice, but i still prefer mannheim.
 
12:11 AM
I think it was this year:
 
There's a lot of win in this one though:
 
speaking of live, going to see the mythbusters next week
 
That should be fun. Hope you get to actually meet them. They seem like really cool people to just have a beer with.
Like, I'ld prefer that to actually being on set for a show.
@Mateo in other news, I started reading the source to the talib python wrapper because the documentation is somewhere between horrifying and leaves quite a bit to be desired. at least some things work now. might have a neat website up in a couple of weeks.
 
ah, sounds like some good news
at least not the part about the bad documentation anyway
 
but yea, good news
Did you see the leaked Star Wars ep VII trailer?
Should check it out
 
12:26 AM
yeah, it was on g+ from david, looks good
 
Is that the really obscure one? It leaves something to be desired on insight to where they're going to go with storyline. The other one is better.
 
@hbdgaf ? that wasn't it...
 
:)
 
they are going back in time in that one ;)
It was kind of a letdown to see the release in december, next year...
 
Yeah, they should have held off on the trailer/pre-build stuff. It makes a thing overbuilt and falling on its face unless they're knowing they'll need additional money (I doubt it), and they're trying to demonstrate consumer buy in for more money.
 
12:32 AM
I liked how Interstellar did their launch, not even a month away, and you see strong trailers all over the place - see it next week, whoa where did that come from
 
I'm not sure I like a two week launch. I'ld like more off-season movie launches. What if you had a less than stellar movie, but you launched in the off-season? If you're better than the suck, you could monopolize the boxoffice and wind up at the top of the imdb list and it feeds itself. Good press making good press. I do like about a month or a month and change to decide whether I want to go to a theater or not though.
Did you hear about OnePlus? CyanogenMod is abandoning it for a deal with a competitor. Seriously this time... It sounds just plain bad.
Puts U1 on the OnePlus right out too.
 
ah man, that's why mods shouldn't be making deals...
 
It's not like they're selling kidneys or anything, but it is pretty shitty.
 
so, I put in more custom slots in the rss feed scope and added a value to change the number of articles to load, should be really good.
 
That's interesting. If you go to a significantly high number, does the preview become a scrollable?
 
12:42 AM
yeah, so it auto cuts off at like 4 and shows a "show all" click-able then expands and scrolls
 
Also, a feature I like in the RSS feed widget I used on my desktop was "Mark as read" to change the color and "Remove from list" so it just gets hidden. That way, if you have a feed where story 1 is just totally uninteresting to you, you don't lose widget real-estate/screenspace to it in the top ten listing.
 
kind of like how inbox is doing
did I send you that invite?
 
I don't think I got one at the aki account... I'ld think it would prompt me with an email.
 
ok, I remember you said to send one your way if I had one left over, so there we go :)
 
Cool beans.
Every time I see this I think there should really be a local app that does all of that except realtime data... but I guess that's how it's going. For computationally intensive operations, you really should deploy as a local app so people can grind at home.
 
12:48 AM
might be hard to implement for the scope... but you do have a space to save things to, so might be able to have it mark an id in the map to skip
 
I was more thinking something like if [url to article] in [set of urls] remove from render queue. Might be a lot of code movement to implement a render queue though.
There are about 4 ways I can think of right off the top to implement the ignore this article functionality, but they all crux on a render-queue
 
so right now it grabs the json from the link, then maps the items, then makes a list, or something like that
 
I think of id within a scope as an ephemeral value, so the url to article is my pk, not the id of the post. But that is definitely a significant bit of logic to add.
That's also why I tend not to finish things though. I tend to see that coming, and I try to build it in all at once instead of constant rewrites.
 
was trying to find a way to get the first item of the map, to do the feature I was talking about eariler. not sure if that will make it by the end of the contest
 
which one?
 
12:56 AM
where I would load a link from the first result into another category and list out the articles from that feed you searched for
 
if the problem is getting the first in an unordered list/map, wouldn't grabbing publication date from all of the currently queued ones suffice?
i'm sure the Qt people have come up with an "OrderedDict" equivalent, but I don't know what it is.
 
well, I wasn't worried about the order at first, found this, stackoverflow.com/questions/4826404/…
anyway, I think I'm going to try to make a Ask Ubuntu section, maybe find out how they did sub departments, like the amazon one is using
 
For sections, maybe you could grab the 10 most popular tags.
 
@Mateo exactly. don't key on map.first() key on sort(map.first().for_each(): i.pub_date) lowest i.pub_date is the right one.
i know that isn't anything in the realm of real code, but it reads right.
 
@NathanOsman maybe skipping the version specific tags ;)
 
1:04 AM
Ah, yes.
I kinda forgot about those,
Just drop any tags with a number in it :P
 
but otherwise that would be good
 
in python without ordereddict, it would be something like:
the_lookup = {}
for key, val in my_map.iter_items():
  the_lookup[val.date] = key
my_map[sort(the_lookup.keys())[0]]
bam index numbers in a map
 
I'll start with things like Top Questions - active and All Question - new, then see about sub categories for those, or that would be two levels down already, anyway if you know where the source to the amazon scope(Ubuntu touch one) is that would help a lot, google is useless with all the "disable amazon" stuff around
 
looks like this is probably it launchpad.net/unity-lens-shopping
the amazon scope search pointed me at a bug in the home lens relating to online probably shouldn't be in home lens stuff. there i think it got referred to the unity-lens-shopping package. a second search. fini.
 
looks like the old one maybe
 
1:15 AM
is that lens now built in to unity? that could be your problem too...
the simple code from lenstoggle could point you in the right direction on files to apt-file search
 
wish they had the scopes in python...
 
They do, it's just not their target any more. I think when they started the thing, they expected more buy-in because they were simpler to build... but they didn't get the buy-in because there was very little documentation/blogging about how to do it.
 
it looks easier to me, so now i'm wondering if there is an equilivant in the c++ api, guess I'm off to go look through the api list
cool, 15 users

Still going strong.
 
jrg
neat
I don't get past 30 days most of the time
 
That's not my desktop.
Though let's check my Raspberry Pi.
 
jrg
no, servers
 
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ uptime

@jrg Kernel updates?
 
jrg
@NathanOsman stability
 
2:49 AM
Oh :P
 
jrg
the app i've got doesn't like the system being up more than 2-3 weeks
no the service, the server itself.
 
jrg
3:06 AM
@NathanOsman although kernel updates are important
and i do reboot for those
(can't afford ksplice for work)
(don't need it)
(rolling restarts are a THING PEOPLE.)
 
rolling restarts?
 
Ksplice is free for Ubuntu Desktop.

Q: Network communication between two nodes in a Hadoop cluster

SidharthI am running a 7 node hadoop cluster with each box running Ubuntu 12.04. It is running CDH4 setup using Cloudera Manager. It was already setup and running when I came in but now I'm running into a communication issue between the master and slave1. The manager GUI says that it cannot communicate ...

Q: Mounting synology disks in ubuntu

KaarelI have some files on synology disk that I would like to recover with extundelete. I have mounted the raid1 setup. So on the disk is two raid storages (md2 and md3) and they are connected to one with lvm. I try to get the lvm going. I think it doesn't like the md2p1. I tried to mount md2p1, but it...

Q: Linux system files moved, how to return by booting from an installer?

renzSo I accidentally 'sudo mv' my files from /* (root directory) to some directory inside my home directory. My OS stopped working and I rebooted. Then I encountered the error: file '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found I can't boot to my linux OS anymore. So I boot from my flash drive with a linu...

 
3:55 PM
Just had a couple of questions to ask... Which Desktop Environment do you prefer and why? Also, which distro is your favourite?
 
GNOME Shell, Arch (latest and greatest)

Q: Weird edit approvers list

muruI was going through the list of controversial edits of the day, when I came up on this: The suggested edit link itself only lists KasiyA, Alvar and Eric Carvalho. So what's going on here? An audit gone serious?

 
O.o i dont know how this system's audits work.
and Gentoo
 
@RohithMadhavan Ubuntu with Unity. Why? Because I can find what I want and do what I need
4
 
@Rinzwind which brings me to the real answer: 42. And 42, because 42. :D
 
4:00 PM
@Rinzwind Same here :-)
 
@muru I just realized it might have been flagged by system
 
Although I have tried pretty much every major distro and DE there is. Now checking out Budgie...
 
@Virusboy how so? All the subsequent approvers are ordinary (not diamond)..
 
@RohithMadhavan I have fedora, centos, suse and SCO openserver(=unix) running on a system next to me using VM Player. I tend to drop to a command line on ALL of them except for my Ubuntu.
 
I have run across posts flagged as spam when they really shouldn't be flagged
@Rinzwind Gentoo and Ubuntu
 
4:04 PM
@Virusboy that is the fun with spam: spam is "unwanted something' You might want it others dont >:)
ok time to go! it is 17:00 Back when mv /home has completed

Q: I have a problem with Linux Ubuntu and printer

user93437I don't know how I can print my document, if my printer is setup in Windows 7. When I open my document, it is very different or doesn't show any picture. I am wondering, I can do some things to change my printer's settings. I have been changed document format...

 
7:58 PM
o/
@Rinzwind Yeah! Finally, someone else using Unity that doesn't hate it.
 
I'm using it on my desktop as well too, got tired of fighting with kde
and the local integrated menus are awesome
 
I use Unity too :)
 
\o/
 
jrg
8:16 PM
some things never die.
 
does trusty come standard with unity?
 
Yes.
 
cool
 
So, can anyone recommend a good "ruler" for Windows? In Ubuntu I just use a Chrome webapp but I'd rather not install Chrome as I don't use it for anything else..
 
I just use firefox
I also have Opera 12.16
 
8:20 PM
does kruler have a windows install
 
not that I know of
There's Kruler Touch for 8/8.1
 
Nothing called "Kruler" in the Windows store, but there is a color picker called "Kuler".
@Mateo Doesn't look like it :/
 
"A ruler for windows" is what it is called
 
This might work: cthing.com/Meazure.asp
@Mateo oh that looks pretty nice!
 
An actual ruler?
 
8:26 PM
yeah
 
how does refresh rates work? Like is it higher at higher resolutions?
 
not entirely sure, but I'd assume so.
 
@Virusboy Refresh rates for monitors? They represent the number of times in a second that the screen is refreshed.
60 Hz means that the image on the display is refreshed 60 times per second.
 
I meant to ask is the resolution more a denpenacy to the Hz number or is it stand alone?
 
silly me, completely misunderstood the question.
 
8:36 PM
The refresh rate is completely independent of the monitor's resolution.
 
@Nathan ok ty
 
You can (in theory) have 640x480 at 120 Hz and 1920x1080 at 45 Hz.
The higher the refresh rate, the more fluid motion will be.
 
there is the scaling for highdpi screens, but you should be able to program for that as well
 
Note that refresh rate is not the same as frames per second (FPS) that you often see in a game. FPS refers to the number of frames being generated by graphics hardware, regardless of whether they end up being sent out to the monitor.
120 FPS on a 60 Hz monitor will always display 60 unique images per second.
 
although just saw a yoga with one and it was crazy how many programs were broke on windows because of that
 
8:39 PM
@Mateo So true. If you want to make Windows applications look really messed up, change the DPI scaling.
 
@mateo hahaha
@NathanOsman Yea saw a question with that. Its been a while since I played with monitors
Why I asked
http://askubuntu.com/questions/555493/how-many-hz-on-resolution-of-32767-x-32767/555505#555505
 
Most movies in North America are shot at 24 FPS.
 
see that I knew back in elementary school
But thats because most TV where only 25Hz
anyone know German better than me?

Forum comments can sometimes be quite funny:
> "Alternatively, instead of relays, an opto-isolator triac arrangement (designed with the current consumption of the appliance in mind) with sufficient heatsinking and isolation may be a good direction to go in, per multiple switching channels."
> "Disclaimer: don't use it in the bath."

I'm trying to control some Christmas lights with my Arduino.
Still trying to find a good relay that's safe and easy to use.
 
9:30 PM
Devs want to rock coreos.com/blog/rocket @hbdgaf
@NathanOsman leave the lights alone and turn off Arduino ideas.
Classic is nice.
@Virusboy if it is a daily talk I'm fine
computers things are a not by now

Q: Finding a relay capable of being constantly switched?

Nathan OsmanI've got a Raspberry Pi and some Christmas lights. I would like to use the Raspberry Pi to control the Christmas lights by switching them on and off with a Python script. The programming aspect of this project is easy enough - my concern is with wiring the lights. The lights in question are LED ...

 
ummm there are relay boxes out there @NathanOsman
 
There are?
 
yea Home Depot Lowes and other Christmasy places that specialze in that stuff sell em

A: Undo sudo rm -R /*

VirusboyThere is no undo for sudo. It's a one time root runtime privilege. To better explain its like deleting your Win32 folder for Windows and wondering how to get it back. A simple re-install should fix your issue. I would recommend next time reading MAN on rm to better understand what the command ...

 
Can they be switched millions of times?
 
Now that I cannot say, but should be able to
should I include a pic into my Answer
 
11:00 PM
@NathanOsman check this out:
 
Cool!
 
I think I'm almost ready to submit those changes, just going to load it on my phone to test one last time
 
It's on Launchpad, right?
 
yeah, let me push it
 
I'll give it a try locally if you want.
 
11:09 PM
ok, on lp:~mateo-salta/touch-rss-scope/utfeed
that is the project folder, should be able to build with that
the scopes open as a project by the cmake text
and I think it likes being in the home folder
 
11:42 PM
Thanks.
I'll give it a go.
Note: you probable don't want the CMakeLists.txt.user.* files in the repository.
Those are per-instance and are generated by Qt Creator when the project is opened.
Keeping them in the repo. also has the downside of issuing a warning by Qt Creator when you try to open the project.
 
11:59 PM
ah, so I don't need them then
