@Phrancis is 2013 really that old?

@bruglesco With a 250 MB mailbox limit, yeah kinda

@Phrancis 250MB limit? is it still 2013?

@Phrancis I think I've played it so often during debugging that I've learned to time it haha. But when I really focus on its behaviour, it does seem a bit off. Like, I never miss a turn that I want to make in the middle of the grid, but timing a turn right at the edge does seem harder.

I'll take a close look tonight or tomorrow when I have a chance

I reduced the file size significantly by removing some audio files I was testing with. The unused files were accounting for a majority of the file size.

@bruglesco Well, with the amount of workers and accounts there are, it adds up really fast even at that small of limit. The hospital does allow increases for users with a legitimate business use

that's fair

Usually when I get a call from someone dealing with the proverbial "Email Jail", I remote in with them and show them how to set up auto-archive, and usually set it deliberately aggressive, before I even mention it's possible to request an increase. I want to rid them of the habit that caused the problem to begin with, because if their behavior doesn't change, the bigger limit would eventually also fill up

wait archives aren't counted in the limit?

They have that much mail just sitting in their open box ?

Yeah, usually in folders, stored on the Exchange server

okay nvm that is definitely exessive

With archiving at least you move some of it to the local disk

TTQW!

I was missing something ><

Huh?

I started a rant with "I must be missing something..."

then deleted it cause I was

Now I am trying to figure out why I can no longer connect to the sql server on my machine

@bruglesco that sounds like me most of the time.

Wtf is wrong with this thing?!

oh... user error....

yeah basically that...

@bruglesco Are you getting an error?

I got it fixed

Oh, good

Apparently my instance was stopped. Just had to start it back up again

Not sure what would cause that tho

Ah, yeah

inactivity?

Maybe it had just not started. I have mine start when Windows starts

@bruglesco I don't think it has a timeout by default, it's something you'd have to set yourself

hmm I think I set mine up that way too (if I remember correctly you suggested it when walking me through setup)

also I shut my system down nightly so a system reboot would have brought this up a long time ago

True. Maybe it's a fluke and something interrupted it

Maybe - I'll worry about it if it repro's

Exactly

GF did some coding on her own tonight, we were chatting on Hangouts and she kept sending me screenshots of her code

hahaha nice

that sounds like shes into it

I think she figured out how she will learn to code, as in, the methodology that will work well for her

what was she working on?

Mostly on learning lists

Very important topic in Python

ohh that's huge - what methodology?

Well, the first time we coded, last weekend, she was writing a huge amount of code comments throughout the code

So, you can imagine it was messy

And I gave that some thought, and tried to encourage her to just learn to read the code and understand it, and when you write code clearly it's self-documenting

So she switched to instead of trying to memorize and remember stuff with notes, to try to understand the concept and apply it

Self-learning in a way works fundamentally differently than directed learning like in a class room, and that's what she was used to, hence all the note-taking

learnpythonthehardway.org behind a pay wall now

That's unfortunate

except its not

It allows you to "read a sample" which gives you full access

People who already have the e-book will just put torrents out there, and the author(s) will just get less traffic and few sales

nevermind - it let me go wherever I wanted in the book but a limited number of times

Yep

thats what I used when I flirted with Python btw

If it's a product that has good value, then it's fair enough to charge for it, though I think $30 for an e-book is a bit steep

true and true

also would you recommend 2.7 or 3?

3.6

Stay away from Python 2.x whenever you can help it, Python 3 is not backwards-compatible

Python 3.6 introduced a new way to interpolate strings which I really like

It's called an f-string I believe

name = "Francis"
f_string = f"Name: {name}"
addition_str = f"2 + 2 = {2+2}"

Before that, you'd have to do: name_str = "Name: {0}".format(name)

dam I need to go to bed. GN

Bye!

Hello everyone :)

FWIW, Python has excellent docs.

@Feeds You know 0.3% more than I do about <Insert-Magic-Program>. You must be an expert!

How long does one need to lurk/participate before joining in on memes?

About until the time is probably right

Apparently it's steam summer sale :o

Is factorio worth picking up?

@IvenBach That depends on how much you value your life outside Factorio

@skiwi The only answer.

I only put 110 hours into it I see, which is nothing

I picked up Final Fantasy XV today though for PC, played the demo yesterday for a bit and figured I didn't want to redo it

Monking!

@skiwi <joke>I'm married with a child, therefore I have no life.</joke>

I was thinking about picking it up and playing it with the small human that society says I'm responsible for.

@IvenBach I don't think you are as much as a psychopath as that makes you sound.

It's not what you say, but how you say it. I phrase things oddly to catch pooples off guard. That's part of why I have a difficult time with #Words.

@IvenBach It's what you say, not how you say it, on the internet.

Also, programmers are notoriously bad for reading how you say things.

This didn't post here for some reason?

@Hosch250 This is why I #WordFail so much.

Just finished celebrating midsummer

Monking @SimonForsberg

@SimonForsberg Yeah? What were the celebrations like?

@Phrancis I had three board game friends over and we played a few board games and had some traditional Swedish midsummer food - potatoes, pickled herring, eggs, and stuff... and then some others joined and we had some Swedish snaps (alcoholic very strong drink) and played even more board games.

A total of seven people, including me :)

A really great midsummer's eve - probably the best I've had so far

That does sound very enjoyable

My midsummer's eves are not very interesting usually, so this one was really nice

How often do you have those?

@Phrancis There's a meetup that's going on once every two weeks, alternating between friday and sunday - but the meetup is about making friends, so there's been some spontaneous board game events every now and then, and this was one of them. So I invited some people from the board game meetup to come to my place for midsummer, as I did not have any other plans.

I thought at first that only one person would be interested, and I was about to plan a visit to some relatives (Etrisa being one of them)

but then two other people said they were interested, so I was like "yeah ok, let's do this!"
