@Zacharee1 lol

Anwar

@Zacharee1 I saw him several times

jokerdino

@Zacharee1 I am not being a racist or anything but some people are offended at the same thing at different levels.

Zacharee1

@jokerdino that's not racist ;p

@Anwar he's commenting the link to his answer everywhere in that Q&A

Anwar

@Zacharee1 I saw him

he commented on my zanna's answer, on question, probably on my answer's too!

Zacharee1

18:02

@Anwar I'm close to downvoting his answer because of his persistence

jokerdino

Hm, that was easier than I expected.

Zacharee1

@jokerdino what, did you get flagged?

jokerdino

No, triggering people.

Anwar

@Zacharee1 i wanted same but stopped

@jokerdino oh yeah i agree 100%

Zacharee1

@jokerdino VROOOOOM

jokerdino

As we speak, Zanna is writing a strongly worded blog post about how people are racist casually on the internetz.

Zanna

hahaha ^_^ sounds like you have read my actual blog

Seth

@Zacharee1 entered.

Zacharee1

18:13

jokerdino

@Zanna wait what? o.O Links please

Zanna

jokerdino

At least you write something on the blog.

Zanna

I do write about racism a lot

That was a disaster.

Anwar

couldn't finished reading the first one

what was that?

jokerdino

Don't want to repeat what he said because it is not the kind of remark that should be had here.

James Tobin

sorry :(

jokerdino

@JamesTobin I have removed your messages. Consider it your warning and please don't post similar messages in the future.

Zacharee1

18:24

what?

jokerdino

@Zanna I found your blog via Twitter.

Zanna

I am at a Linux event just now... there were two people talking about RPi and I was so distracted by chat that I barely learned anything

jokerdino

Too many words so closing it asap.

Anwar

i found some twitter post

Seth

@jokerdino needs more R graphs? :P

edwinksl

18:25

@Zanna AU chat provides solid entertainment :)

jokerdino

@Seth that would be ideal, yes.

Zanna

Recently I have hardly written anything thanks to AU addiction

I'll find a post with lots of pictures for you...

jokerdino

@Zanna that's curable.

Android Dev

@Zanna :P

jokerdino

Anwar

18:26

that's good

Android Dev

@jokerdino ?

jokerdino

@Anwar which one?

@AndroidDev It's meant for someone else.

edwinksl

@Zanna i wish i could write like you do

Android Dev

@Zanna Were they talking about running Ubuntu on it? :)

Anwar

@jokerdino not writing for addiction

Zanna

18:28

Here's one with graphs... not the right kind though roseannastar.wordpress.com/2014/06/08/show-me-the-data

Android Dev

@jokerdino Oh, I get it now. To cure Zanna's addition :)

Zanna

@edwinksl thanks but I'm sure you are a great writer :)

jokerdino

@AndroidDev yep

Zanna

@jokerdino it's not a bad idea, my case is pretty severe ;)

jokerdino

@Zanna broken images?

@Zanna heh someone misspelled your name as zannah ._.

Zanna

wherezzat? comments?

edwinksl

yeah one of the comments

Zanna

maybe it's just a pronunciation thing

Zannahhh

jokerdino

I spell it out in my mind to prevent mispronunciation.

So, it's e-d-w-i-n and s-e-t-h.

Zanna

these London people call me Zayna or Zahna, which is weird

Wow! Never seen so many people in the chat room before (not that any of them seem to actually be talking though)! :D

jokerdino

@ZaHeeR it's my Mum - she's only 53 :)

ZaHeeR

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 MA is the greatest of all states on the eastern seaboard amirite

Zanna

I'm girlfriendless

ZaHeeR

she left you or you left her

jokerdino

@ZaHeeR Hmm, is that necessary to know?

@Zanna No memory of me saying that.

let me reread it.

yeah, looks like I have indeed said so.

ZaHeeR

@jokerdino <sarcasm> naa...knowing about boring questions and comments is much more interesting </sarcasm>

Anwar

18:56

@Zanna agree with him.

agreed*

Zanna

phew I thought I was going to get banned for misquoting a mod

jokerdino

@ZaHeeR Well, some things are sensitive.

@Zanna Don't think I was a mod back then.

Noo, I was a mod.

Zanna

you are a mod now though, so I better not misquote you

jokerdino

Deleted stats are not available to non-mods.

ZaHeeR

oh you are sensitive towards my comment

jokerdino

18:58

@Zanna That's one more thing common b/w us! \o/

Zanna

lol ^_^

Anwar

our vote rate decreased i think. what does stat say?

jokerdino

@Anwar should be mostly true. I will pull the numbers but need R expert to make similar pretty graphs again.

Zanna

fixed horrible theme of my blog slightly

jokerdino

@ZaHeeR some things are called private for a reason. Now I would like to drop this matter once and for all.

@Zanna I am going to pretend it improved the style.

Zanna

19:02

haha no need, still very bad

ZaHeeR

I don't remember asking you anything

Byte Commander

Anyone in here familiar with Travis CI?

jokerdino

@ZaHeeR It is in my capacity as a moderator to ensure an environment comfortable for all people here that I intervene. If you have a problem with that, you can move along.

Zanna

@CodeX please be nice to jokerdino who is looking after me :)

edwinksl

@Zanna wrong person?

jokerdino

19:05

Same person, new username.

Byte Commander

19:08

Is there any way to find out people's previous usernames?

Kaz Wolfe

only to mods

i think

Byte Commander

:-/

Anwar

no. only mod can see i think

Kaz Wolfe

mods/self have a "recent usernames" thingy

Byte Commander

Or maybe archive.org. But that would be quite much effort.

Anwar

19:10

yes

or if you remember profile page

Byte Commander

So, asking again - anybody familiar with travis ci build matrices?

Kaz Wolfe

Anwar

I'm not

Terrance

@ByteCommander I cannot tell a lie.... I am not familiar with Travis CI. Sorry.

Byte Commander

:-(

Thomas Ward

19:15

@ByteCommander might I ask why you're asking?

edwinksl

@ByteCommander nathan uses travis-ci for nitroshare builds as far as i recall

jokerdino

@ZaHeeR Because it was an unwarranted question posed awkwardly?

Byte Commander

@ThomasWard I think I need to compose a build matrix to lock a pip package to a lower version for a specific python version.

ZaHeeR

says who

Byte Commander

Probably I'll have to sort it out by trial and error.

Kaz Wolfe

19:17

sez the mod

jokerdino

@ZaHeeR I say so.

ZaHeeR

oh yeah ?! and I say earth is square

Kaz Wolfe

Don't push it, @ZaHeeR

Thomas Ward

lets put this another way

joker's one mod.

i'm the second.

two mods are in agreement here

so, lets keep that in mind going forward.

ZaHeeR

you are just a mod dude not God

Kaz Wolfe

19:23

*sigh*

Thomas Ward

well, that happened.

Kaz Wolfe

nice one, I assume @ThomasWard?

Thomas Ward

nope

Byte Commander

@ZaHeeR only one letter difference...

Zacharee1

Maybe Zanna voices her opinion?

Kaz Wolfe

19:24

he got kicked

Byte Commander

Oh, kick-banned?

Back again...

Zanna

Uh :( I leave to room for five minutes and

Zacharee1

yeah...

Zanna

Apologies if I failed to back you up @jokerdino I am really grateful for the intervention

Zacharee1

there we are

Zanna's opinion, argument solved

Thomas Ward

19:27

hums lightly as he has five windows open over four computer screens

Zacharee1

@ThomasWard oh yeah? I have 8.. on ONE

Kaz Wolfe

you can fit a windows on an IP phone now, too.

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 this was 24 windows over four screens.

i've closed a bunch :P

Kaz Wolfe

brb afk, have to knock a squirrel out of the tree. again.

Zacharee1

@ThomasWard pshh

Zanna

19:28

It's not just about me though, right? I mean regardless of how I feel about it, the modness was righteous

Byte Commander

@ThomasWard grumbles lightly as he has 13 browser tabs, an IDE, a terminal, an email client, a webradio player and some more windows open over one single notebook screen...

Thomas Ward

heh

I'm strace-ing a python execution

Byte Commander

Byte Commander

Nagios was your pentesting thing, right?

Thomas Ward

19:30

nagios is monitoring

nessus is vuln. scanner. metasploit is the attacker.

Byte Commander

Then what I mean was Nessus?

Or anything that at least roughly sounds similar?

Thomas Ward

probably Nessus

Byte Commander

Ugh, crappy wifi delay...

Zacharee1

@Zanna Well it's best to be on the safe side, but it's possible that you just wouldn't care

Mateo

@ByteCommander search chat, previous messages will have the old names

Zanna

19:33

For me it's the principle...

Ugh I really need to fix my phone, email borked completely

Kaz Wolfe

k back :D

Zanna

Zacharee1

Byte Commander

Can anybody give me advice whether it's worth to support Python 3.2?

Thomas Ward

@ByteCommander not entirely sure what you mean by that?

Nathan Osman

19:38

@edwinksl Nope, I use Jenkins and a CI build farm that I maintain for NitroShare.

ci.nitroshare.net

edwinksl

nice :D

Byte Commander

@ThomasWard I have a Python project that has Travis CI tests passing on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.5-dev and nightly, but they fail on 3.2 because the pytest package is incomatible in its latest version.

Nathan Osman

I would drop 3.2 support.

Byte Commander

Now I wonder whether it's worth the effort to restructure all the imports and try making a build matrix to let Python 3.2 use its own downgraded version of pytest, or whether I just set that version on the ignore list.

Thomas Ward

@ByteCommander 3.2 is end of life iirc

i agree with Nathan here.

Byte Commander

19:41

I found no EOL notice.

Thomas Ward

3.2 Lifespan
3.2 will receive bugfix updates approximately every 4-6 months for approximately 18 months. After the release of 3.3.0 final (see PEP 398 ), a final 3.2 bugfix update will be released. After that, security updates (source only) will be released until 5 years after the release of 3.2 final, which will be February 2016.

"PEP 392 -- Python 3.2 Release Schedule"

suggests Feb. 2016 is lifespan end?

oop nevermind i can't read

I would still drop 3.2

Nathan Osman

I know of nobody still using 3.2 anyway.

Thomas Ward

or fix the issue you observe, but if the module is incompatible then you may just have to drop support

Byte Commander

3.2 is still available without EOL notice: python.org/download/releases/3.2.5

edwinksl

ha askubuntu.com/questions/715359/…

Thomas Ward

19:42

37 secs ago, by Thomas Ward

oop nevermind i can't read

Nathan Osman

Granted, Precise (12.04) is still on 3.2...

But if you're still using Precise...

...you may have other problems.

Byte Commander

The project itself would probably work, just the latest pytest version is incompatible.

I'll leave the CI builds for 3.2 active, but let it ignore errors on that version. Maybe I'll try to fix it later.

Nathan Osman

Well, it all boils down to what kind of support you need to provide. At some point I had to just say "nothing I write from now on will run on IE <9" since that really makes things simpler.

Byte Commander

I don't "need" to provide anything. I just enabled all versions Travis CI can test against and tried whether I could tweak my code to run on all of them.

Probably 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 would be enough for most use cases.

Nathan Osman

Yup.

Zanna
