@Chan-HoSuh lol
 
@Zacharee1 Thanks for the tip. I wanted to talk to him about the generous bounty he put up on a question I posted....
 
@dharamija It doesn't go to you. He probably wants to see the question answered; maybe he has the same one
 
right, it goes to the answerer.
 
@Seth I think it is. It has nothing to do with Ubuntu. It doesn't even mention Ubuntu. Better placed on some other SE site that deals with servers and the web (Server Fault?)
 
4:18 AM
@Zacharee1 generous because he spent points on someone else's question. It's a nice thing to do when someone needs help ;)
 
indeed.
 
(sorry, pinged wrong person)
 
[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword in body, pattern-matching website in body: Natural Hair Dye For Gray Hair by wangfinch on askubuntu.com
 
well anyway, how can I do it?
 
yeah, kind of what I said
@dharamija what do you mean?
 
4:18 AM
@dharamija do what? talk to kos?
 
You need enough rep to actually set one, since it deducts it from your rep
 
no offer up a bounty when his expires in a couple days?
 
@Zacharee1 pretty sure SF would laugh it off the site..
 
:p
Well it certainly doesn't belong here
 
@dharamija ah. Lemme pull up the relevant help article.
@dharamija here you go: askubuntu.com/help/bounty
 
4:20 AM
thank you
 
the gist of it: bounties are real reputation. Whatever rep. you set in a bounty is deducted from your account and is non refundable. 75 reputation is required to unlock setting bounties. 50 rep is the minimum bounty.
@Zacharee1 agreed.
 
Ugh. Django how can you break yourself in under 24 hours without me so much as looking at you?
 
spam with php tag and mentioned India o_O
 
I created the django thingy yesterday and spent tons of time working on it. I come in today to try and use it and I'm getting errors and crap up the wazoo
 
@Ravan nuked. doesn't look like the Smoke Detector picked up on that one.
 
4:23 AM
@Seth It found something like it yesterday
@Seth HE PULLED IT OFF OF SERVER FAULT! serverfault.com/questions/738372/…
 
@RPiAwesomeness if it broke without you touching it I'd assume the fix is simple.
 
@Seth So you would think
 
@Zacharee1 wat
 
@RPiAwesomeness if it has anything to do with a computer, that isn't uncommon
 
@Seth turns out I don't have the legs yet to pee in the tall grass with the big dogs. I thought 41 points was pretty good in 2 weeks....live and learn. Thanks again.
 
4:24 AM
@Seth The off-topic wiki thing that guy made. His reference link is from Server Fault
@dharamija that is pretty good, but it wouldn't make sense for you to back down to 1 rep
Even from 76, you're down to 26
 
@dharamija Depends on what you are doing :)
 
@Zacharee1 comment with his cross post link
 
@Seth That guy asked the question on Server Fault then got an answer, then copied the whole thing here. lol
@Ravan will do
 
kos bounty will expire before I'm back from vacation. Chilli narrowed the problem down, but I can only solve it back home. I'll probably get back after the bounty expires.....If I get the system. Chilli will still get half for his troubles.
 
@Zacharee1 you.. already said that ;p
 
4:27 AM
@Seth shhhhhhhhhh
 
I think @Zacharee1 expecting something from mod ;P
 
I can take it.
 
@dharamija I'm sure someone will put another on (looking at you, @Seth ;P)
 
@dharamija yes. If you come back and the problem is still there give me a ring :)
@Zacharee1 hey, stop reading my mind!
 
generous.
 
4:29 AM
@dharamija what else are these useless internet points good for?
2
 
@Ravan ◔_◔ idk what you're talking about
 
LOL I just looked it up and it's already got a bounty. I was gonna throw one up but @kos seems to have done it.
 
@dharamija he's got plenty
@KGIII wat
 
indeed so
 
4:30 AM
pretty private that kos
 
I checked his posts, found his question, and it already has a bounty.
 
@KGIII yeah, @kos put it on
That was the premise of this discussion
 
@dharamija he will probably be back in the morning (US time).
 
@Seth US time, lol. Pacific, Mountain, Central or Eastern?
 
Yeah, I see that. LOL I came in half way through. :/ I thought he was needing one and didn't want to use up all his points putting a bounty on it because he'd mentioned going down near zero points. I only skimmed. :D
 
4:31 AM
@Zacharee1 they're only a few hours a part, so doesn't really matter.
 
*meanwhile I punch my phone across the room*
 
So I was gonna do the nice thing and put a bounty on it for him but, alas, I was beaten to it. :D
 
@Seth 6:00AM EST is 3:00AM PST
 
thats early
 
@KGIII now you're generous ;)
 
4:32 AM
@Zacharee1 I am aware.
 
@Seth soo, which timezone?
 
@Zacharee1 If you're going to do that at least make a YouTube video about it.. sheesh.. :p
 
@Zacharee1 Or just figured I might as well get the badge. ;)
 
@KGIII :P. You've really been rackin' up the points, haven't you?
 
Nah, I've been lazy lately. I've been busy with that real life stuff.
We could have left today but we're going to wait until Friday (after the holiday).
 
4:33 AM
@Seth I'm constantly throwing, kicking, dropping and punching my phone of my bed (top bunk at school). Luckily I don't have an iPhone
 
Then we're going to go to DC for a while - unknown length of time.
 
@KGIII you're never leaving btw
@KGIII unknown = forever
 
@Zacharee1 boarding school?
 
Oh, I am so getting the heck out of Buffalo. I've had enough of this place.
 
@Seth 5/7 days (only 50 mins away)
 
4:34 AM
@Seth btw, Is there any time bound for mods to approve a flag as helpful/declined?
 
@KGIII lol
 
There's a crowd in the lobby, like every day - all day.
 
@Zacharee1 ah.
 
@Ravan time?
 
@Ravan no. We get to them when we can.
 
4:34 AM
@KGIII fun fun fun
 
They have a display going on. It's an 1800 pound gingerbread house. @Zacharee1.
 
It's been a little rough this past week.
 
@KGIII WOW. So amazing
 
I mean, It will take months?
 
:p
 
4:35 AM
Yeah, it sucks. LOL
 
@Ravan It can
@KGIII hehe. Where are you from?
 
Though, if you take that information and put it into a search engine, you can find out where I'm staying and have been staying.
I'm from all over the place but I have a home in Maine. I'm currently on wanderlust but I bumped into a female and she stuck so I've been in Buffalo since September. sighs
 
ah
Hyatt Regency? C'mon, really?
 
Shh! I can't have people knowing where I am now!
 
$25 a day for WiFi
@KGIII ō_ô
 
4:37 AM
LOL Yeah, it is costly but it's very nice.
Worse, I have a suite.
 
We stayed in a Hyatt Regency in California. Yes, nice, but WiFi is way to expensive for the speed you actually get
@KGIII worse?
 
Oh, it's absurdly costly. Like stupidly expensive. I've just stopped looking at the receipt.
 
:p
Switch to Sprint and get the unlimited data plan ;)
Or T-Mobile
 
The room service is stupidly expensive.
 
Or get a low plan on Sprint and be happy with 2G
@KGIII we didn't even try
 
4:39 AM
Bah, I already have a cell plan. I get 25 GB per month but I don't even use it.
 
@KGIII USE IT USE IT
 
I could probably make due with that - I just use VNC and connect to my home anyhow.
 
Make do. I actually looked that up this morning
 
But, alas, wifi is here. I only get about 20 Mb/sec on it.
 
@KGIII What carrier are you on?
 
4:40 AM
US Cellular.
 
Oh right
That was you
 
They're really my only option except for VZW.
Yeah, it is me. :|
 
Yeah, we went through this :P
 
I did think about getting some sort of pay as you go for while I am out and about.
 
T-Mobile is extremely cheap and you're going to be mainly in major towns/cities
 
4:42 AM
That and I am kind of fond of simplicity. I forget things pretty easily if I find something new and shiny.
 
Aw. US Cellular doesn't have the pre-unlocked 4G phone thing like Verizon
@KGIII Don't look at an Apple store
 
I even forget to eat. I'll just forget to go to bed and skip it until I'm exhausted.
LOL I'm not an Apple fan and don't want to buy into their ecosystem.
 
Good
 
I had VZW but was not happy with them.
 
Goood
@KGIII same here
Why for you?
 
4:43 AM
So, I have US Cell.
My accountant caught them overbilling me, called to get it corrected, it wasn't, and this went on for several months before I had the contract canceled and they still tried to bill me for early termination.
 
lol
 
I'll give you money for good service. You don't have to steal it.
 
why does that totally sound like a cell phone carrier? why.
 
@KGIII We didn't have it that bad, but we had terrible customer support experiences, high prices and NO FREAKING 5.1.1 FOR THE NOTE 4
 
I was more disappointed that they tried to bill me for early termination. They broke the contract.
 
4:45 AM
@Seth Well we know Verizon isn't a cell carrier, so it is weird...
@KGIII wow
How long ago was this?
 
Google Music vs. Apple Music investigation is underway.
 
A wild @NathanOsman appears!
 
well I'm off to bed. g'night
 
I'll be comparing the audio formats shortly.
 
@Seth bye
 
4:46 AM
@Seth Welcome to VZW, I guess. I was disappointed. The phone was nice, the call quality was nice. I had no real complaints other than that. It was entirely unacceptable.
G'night @Seth.
 
@KGIII when did you leave?
 
And it was about 2 years ago as I recall @Zacharee1.
 
ah
wow
recently
VZW's been going downhill, Sprint's been going up
T-Mobile stays with good deals and terrible coverage
 
I was just really disappointed by the theft, the continued theft, and then the attempt to take money from me when they'd not upheld their part of the contract. They didn't get paid.
 
AT&T is just there to hate on :p
@KGIII I'd hope not
 
4:48 AM
I like US Cellular but they don't really have a whole lot of selection and I can only use a branded phone on their network. I can use a VZW phone on their network but I can't activate it through their service.
 
Now they have the EDGE plan. You pay off your phone monthly for 18-24 months on a monthly contract. Less of a discount, but less of a contract
@KGIII How do they make it so they only accept their phones? Swapping the SIM doesn't work?
 
They're a major carrier, not a reseller, but they just don't have a whole lot to choose from. I had a Windows phone sent to me not long ago and I'm happy with it but I'd really have liked something a bit newer and that was disappointing.
No SIM.
 
Do you not have LTE phones?
 
If you guys want to see carrier price gouging, come up north here :P
 
Nope, not on their service. You can use other carriers with it but they don't provide such nor will they activate them.
 
4:50 AM
What do you have?
 
Lemme dig out the packaging. One sec.
 
@KGIII They don't provide LTE phones?
 
@Zacharee1 Three really horrible companies trying to rip us off and one nice company with poor coverage.
 
@NathanOsman sounds a lot like the US :p
 
Yes but at least you have companies like T-mobile that aren't all that bad.
 
4:51 AM
Not that I know of @Zacharee1. It's an HTC something or other. I'm digging out the packaging.
 
We have VZW ripping us off, ATT just being stupid (why are they still here), Sprint which is only just becoming good, and T-Mobile with the great plans and support but no coverage
 
I guess it does sound similar... :P
 
No, that's my old phone. It's a Samsung.
 
@KGIII so you only get 3G and below? Their towers provide 4G service.
 
Some ATIV Odyssey critter.
 
4:52 AM
I only get HSDPA - no LTE from my carrier yet :(
 
@NathanOsman Seriously? Your carrier's 5 years late
 
I think they use something else - I forget the name but it's close to 4G, I think. I don't really do much more than tether my phone or make phone calls on it or sometimes use it to browse?
 
But they're nice and cheap :P
 
I'm just not that fond of it as a form factor for computing.
 
@KGIII probably what @NathanOsman has: HSDPA
 
4:54 AM
Lemme see if I can find it on their site. One sec.
 
They are the only company providing unlimited data.
 
Like Sprint
 
That sounds vaguely familiar though I think they use a different name for it? I'm not entirely sure. LOL I just make phone calls, send a few text messages, sometimes I browse a little, and I might tether once in a while.
 
They do throttle it though.
 
I'm finding it on their site so you can root through the data yourself. :P
 
4:55 AM
When the iPhone 4S came out on ATT, people were happy that it supported 4G. Little did they know it was actually HSDPA, which is a faster 3G. Apple flat out lied about their phone technology
@NathanOsman Do you have T-Mobile? I know they have coverage in western Canada
 
Yeah, HSDPA is 3G technology.
 
Hmm... It says 4G LTE. I don't think that it takes a sim card though? I'd have to look.
 
@Zacharee1 They show up when I get close to the border.
 
4G is only available as GSM, which requires using a SIM card
@KGIII take the back cover off and check
 
Alrighty. 'Snot my area of interest. :D But there's a link for you.
LOL I'll have to turn the light on. :/
 
4:57 AM
Didn't know Samsung made Windows phones
 
Also, my carrier has partnered with a company in the US to provide discounted roaming. They don't say which one, but I'm betting it's T-mobile. In fact, one of the plans they offer includes unlimited US roaming.
 
◔_◔ @KGIII
@NathanOsman probably
 
LOL It does have a SIM card! Maybe they've changed policy?
 
@KGIII maybe
 
For $39/m I get unlimited Canada/US calling, 5 GB of full speed data and unlimited "throttled" data, and worldwide SMS.
The only catch is the coverage.
 
4:58 AM
I didn't even set it up. I just called and asked and it got shipped to me. I didn't even pick it out, I just said I wanted a Windows phone to have something different. Is it a good phone? I have no idea, seems okay to me.
 
¯_(ツ)_/¯
@NathanOsman what's the company?
 
@Zacharee1 Wind Mobile.
They don't offer that plan anymore though >:)
 
@KGIII US Cellular will activate a phone you already have
 
Hmm... Looks like a fine phone. Err... It makes nice phone calls. I've made several with it. :D
Yeah, that appears to be a change in policy. That's cool.
 
@NathanOsman amazing deal right on the front page
 
5:00 AM
IKR?
 
The last time I was personally in the office they didn't allow SIM card activation or activation on any phone that was not branded US Cellular. :/
 
Slow website all the way here in the east coast.
 
@Zacharee1 It's slow for me on the west coast :P
 
@KGIII don't tell them it isn't US Cellular
lol
 
did everyone hear about jolla?
 
5:02 AM
I don't think I've actually even sent a text message with my new phone. I've had it for... err... two weeks now. Well, two Mondays ago.
 
@Mateo no, what happened?
 
They're going into receivership, IIRC?
Or was it restructuring? Hmm... It was on Slashdot the other day but I didn't pay attention to it. :D
 
@NathanOsman if you move to the east coast, you'll be guaranteed partner service
 
they are basically done for.
 
I need a tea. I shall return. I think.
 
5:05 AM
@Mateo Unless they can get a big investor on-board.
 
@Mateo well, it isn't a very good phone :/
 
I tried it out back when I had the Nexus 5 and at least it was stable :P
I couldn't say the same for Ubuntu Touch back in the day.
 
The tablet, however.... Full 64-bit, not even ARM?
Well, I think it's time to try to sleep
 
I think an Ubuntu Touch might make me more interested in the platform. Which is why I kind of want one.
 
totally ;)
 
5:15 AM
Someone in here mentioned that a Nexus 5 was something that would take an unofficial install and, if it turns out that I can use it on my carrier, I think I'll have to examine that a bit more.
 
yeah, do multiboot on it - but you need it unlocked - if you are talking verizon it is a seperate version of the phone to get
 
Is it not stable enough to boot as a sole OS?
 
with the sim card one, you can use that on most the other carriers
@KGIII sure, I just do that so I could do all the os"s ;)
firefox, salifish, ubuntu touch, and ubuntu touch dev, cyanogen, paranoid android
 
LOL I will keep it in mind but I may not opt to, just for simplicity. I'm not a fan of the form factor as a compute device but having Ubuntu may change that. So, I'd be unlikely to use anything else. I might try it though. :D Ya never know.
 
it has a good community port, probably the best of the ports - update server for images and everything
 
5:20 AM
I found a few in "like new" condition. They're not even all that expensive.
 
I kind of want to get a bq as well, I think I'm hooked ;)
 
I have no idea what that is.
 
That would be nice but I am told that they will not work here.
 
@KGIII where?
 
5:25 AM
I am currently in the NE United States but, when home, I'm so far NE that I'm almost in Canada.
 
it will do 2g - but is a sim card
 
I'm in Buffalo, New York at the moment - I have been since September.
Hmm... I can probably live with 2G just fine. I don't tether often. I'll have to give this due consideration. :D Thanks.
 
there were some in the scratch and dent section of the 4.5 one
let me find
 
I'd really prefer a tablet with Ubuntu Touch on it - I'm not sure if any are for sale or not? I know that I've read about people using it on a tablet (the Surface Pro 3 as I recall).
I've actually been thinking about trying the Surface Pro 4. It does look nice but I've just not found a tablet that I've been happy with. :/ I dunno? Maybe the form factor just isn't for me.
 
that woudl be plain ubuntu on the surface...
 
5:29 AM
Hmm... I could have sworn someone had written a blog post about getting Touch to run on it. Maybe they were talking about being able to use the touch features/screen.
 
the new nexus 7 is the target device, then someone did do a intel tablet, still most of the apps would be missing on 64 bit right now
 
Why does an SQLite INTEGER column sort numbers like 1, 10, 11, 2, 3, 4, ...?
That makes no sense to me.
 
all the 1's first ;)
 
Hang on... there is no sorting being done at all.
 
Ah - that makes sense. @Mateo.
 
5:32 AM
1-, 1-0, 1-1
 
For the same reason it will do 1 2 22 23 25 3 5 8 etc...
 
I was wrong.
It's doing 1, 10, 11, 6, 3, 2, 5...
So no sort at all.
 
strange
 
SELECT * FROM item
  INNER JOIN item_extra ON item.item_pid = item_extra.item_pid
  WHERE item.album_pid = 762353700
  ORDER BY item.track_number;
Anything there look obviously wrong?
 
It's sorting. I just don't know enough about SQL to help but it appears to be sorting.
It's just not sorting like you're expecting.
 
5:33 AM
You can say that again :P
 
1 11 15 16 1111 all come before 2. I forget the name of the sort pattern but I don't think that's default.
 
I know what you're referring to - ASCII order.
 
1 < 2 and so the first number is the one that's being sorted by.
 
But that doesn't explain "6" coming before "3".
 
Oh, hah! I missed that one. LOL
I was still referencing your first example. :D
 
5:35 AM
Sorry, that was my bad.
 
It's okay - the first one I understand, I just don't remember the name. The second one? Heh... You're straight up on your own.
I'm limited to about enough DBA to hurt something important. I can add, join, drop, and merge tables but not much beyond that and only remember a wee bit in PHP and MySQL.
 
I'm not too good in SQL either - especially JOINs.
 
You have order by item... Can you order by integer?
 
I would assume so.
 
Ah good. @A.B. is here. He knows everything about databases. nods It's all his fault.
 
5:38 AM
I'm more familiar with PostgreSQL - I know SQLite works a bit differently.
 
I think you can sort by integer but do not hold me to it nor ask me the format.
 
store.bq.com/es/ubuntu-edition-e-4-5-outlet I guess the equivalent of refurbished
 
@Mateo do you have the BQ or the Meizu phone?
 
The query looks fine.
 
Meizu
 
5:39 AM
@Mateo That's not a bad price. I'd probably just get new IF they ship to the US.
 
this is the page for worldwide: store.bq.com/gl
 
Heh! Excellent. My plan to blame A.B. appears to be successful!
 
but yeah, they should
 
I'm using "SQLite Database Browser" from the archives if that helps.
 
Thanks! I'll have to see if I can get stuff shipped to my next destination. Maybe I can get it before I go back home @Mateo. That will be exciting and give me something to geek out on when I get bored.
 
5:42 AM
@NathanOsman try a trailing ASC
 
Good idea.
Nope, sadly it made no difference.
 
o/
 
@Serg good morning/afternoon/evening/sleep/whatever.
:P
 
@A.B. Is there a way he can sort by integer? (I've not done much DB work and haven't done much at all since I used to play with SMF and was an admit/dev there.)
Morning @Serg.
If he's sorting by name and the first column is numerical then that explains the results he gave in his first posting. For his second example, it's beyond my very basic knowledge and far beyond my memory.
 
@NathanOsman @KGIII Evening actually, 10:45 pm here
In any case, howdy folks !
 
5:45 AM
@Serg Ah yes. I forgot you were in the Rockies.
 
You must be using MST. It's 9:45pm here.
 
@KGIII @NathanOsman yup, MST, Denver CO, the mile-high city.
 
He's just there for the legal weed. nods
 
The altitude would kill me.
 
Actually, I came waaaay before the whole weed thingy started, in 2007
 
5:47 AM
LOL I've been to Denver - they've always had weed. ;-)
 
Kind of don't mind the weed, but because of it a lot of folks moved to colorado . . . so the traffic is really fun now
 
Winter must be amusing. It was bad enough with the skiers as I recall. I've been out that way in the winter before. I live in snow country so I'm used to it but so many people aren't.
 
Winter is alright with me, I enjoy the snow. When it is mixed with wind - I don't enjoy it as much. Otherwise , it's cool. Last snowstorm was absurd though, because downtown ain't got over an inch , while where i live - it was around a foot of snow
 
Erf... SWMBO insists that I am up past my bedtime. (We've important things to do tomorrow, so I'm told.) So, on that note, 'tis time for me to do my g'night thing. I shall return, perhaps sooner if I am unable to sleep.
 
Anybody else here is using blackbox ?
 
5:52 AM
LOL I love snow. I love the ice and snow. I love driving on it. I love the challenge. It's an adventure! @Serg.
But, I shall return. G'night or g'morning wherever you are.
 
\o adios, mein friend
 
For the curious, I'm trying to match up saved audio files on disk from the Apple Music app with the track metadata in an SQLite database.
And also for the curious, the files are identified as:
ISO Media, Apple iTunes AAC-LC (.M4A) Audio
 
@KGIII yes, with ORDER BY CAST(col AS int)
But with sqlite? Never tested
 
6:08 AM
I am unsure . . . .buy a new laptop or not . . . My current lappie cannot handle GNOME . . . CPU jumps up sky-high . . . .but blackbox seems to be pretty good on it . . .
 
Enlightenment is really light.
I used it on an Atom netbook with 1 GB of RAM.
 
o/
 
\o
Hmmm, should try . . . I have whole bunch of desktops here, from most minimalistic like 9wm to unity
so,much,lag,in,virtualbox

@NathanOsman What is that a comparison of?
 
I'm comparing Apple Music and Google Music. The numbers above are the amount of space each song occupies on disk (in bytes).
 
6:44 AM
@NathanOsman So, you're saying that it is stored in the Mac OS and then in Windows?
 
No, both are Android apps.
 
@NathanOsman Ah, OK
@NathanOsman Are they both the same bit rates in your comparisons?
