| 03:55 | < Azash> | I wonder why github sends a "bad credentials" reply as a 200 |
| 04:07 | < Azash> | Nope, it didn't, just returned as 0 even when ending with a 401 |
| 04:07 | < Azash> | Strangely, enabling -f ("Fail silently (no output at all) on HTTP errors") made it return nonzero then |

| 04:57 | < Azash> | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1711/what-is-the-single-most-influential-book -every-programmer-should-read |
| 04:57 | < Azash> | ^ Nice list.. Now if I had a couple of months off :P |
| 05:11 | <&Derakon> | I have read so very few programming books. |
| 05:12 | <&Derakon> | Most of what I have learned has been from practice, classes, examples, group projects, references, and more practice. |
| 05:12 | < Azash> | Same |
| 05:15 | < Azash> | Still, it feels like whenever I read a book it fills out some blank spots left by the rougher strokes of practice and projects |
| 05:15 | <&Derakon> | Yeah, I wasn't meaning to say that reading books was a bad thing. |
| 05:16 | < Azash> | Not saying you did, just commenting on it |
| 05:16 | < Azash> | It feels kind of like when you learn by doing, you have a certain goal so you find out specifically how to solve that |
| 05:16 | < Azash> | But you might not necessarily understand the problem itself |
| 05:17 | <&Derakon> | Well, it helps to keep an open mind while you're working on projects. |
| 05:17 | <&Derakon> | There are different ways to learn-by-doing,. |
| 05:17 | <&Derakon> | If you're under time pressure then you'll get a lot less out of the exercise. |
| 05:18 | < Azash> | Mm |

| 13:59 | < iospace> | Azash: it's a local drin, good luck :P |
| 13:59 | < iospace> | *drink |
| 14:00 | < iospace> | really good though :D |
| 14:02 | < Syka> | i really should save my effort for Monday |
| 14:03 | < iospace> | i had a really nasty hangover though at 4:30 |
| 14:03 | < iospace> | took some motrin, got some water, 3 hours later i'm fine |
| 14:03 | < Azash> | \o/ |
| 14:03 | | * Syka is gonna probably be househunting for the next few months |

| 16:27 | < Azash> | That's not a good way to get PR :P |
| 16:42 | < Syka> | Azash: to be fair I had JS+webfonts off |
| 16:42 | < Syka> | but then again they should test it |
| 17:14 | < froztbyte> | so |
| 17:14 | < froztbyte> | beyond the crappy commentary, http://www.redbullstratos.com/live/ |
| 17:14 | < froztbyte> | just incase iospace hasn't linked it here today yet :P |
| 17:14 | | * Azash waits for the jump |
| 17:14 | < Azash> | Guessing it'll be over an hour still though |
| 17:23 | < Syka> | man |
| 17:23 | < Syka> | what if something bad happens |
| 17:24 | < froztbyte> | "what if"? |
| 17:24 | < Syka> | yeah |
| 17:24 | < Syka> | I mean, there's a chance everything explodes or something isn't there |
| 17:24 | < froztbyte> | he's in a tin can at 55k+ feet, hanging from a balloon made of material thinner than sandwich bags |
| 17:25 | < froztbyte> | "what if" doesn't really matter |
| 17:25 | < froztbyte> | he's already pimp :P |
| 17:25 | < Syka> | heh well |
| 17:25 | < Syka> | i suppose 'he had to jump out' is sort of the point of the whole thing isn't it |
| 17:26 | < froztbyte> | nah |
| 17:26 | < froztbyte> | that's the side of it |
| 17:26 | < froztbyte> | red bull is just using it for a bunch of extra marketing |
| 17:30 | < Syka> | heh |
| 17:30 | < Syka> | well, good on 'em |
| 17:31 | < Syka> | better sponsoring a guy dropping from freakin space than the usual bullshit corporations sponsor |
| 17:31 | | * Syka stares at Big Brother |
| 17:34 | < Azash> | Apparently the cut radio traffic because the faceplate heating is broken and they're troubleshooting it |
| 17:34 | < Azash> | they cut* |
| 17:40 | < froztbyte> | where do I find the stream with less shitty commentary and lots of numbers? |
| 17:47 | < ErikMesoy> | Why is Python's Easyviz giving me a message of "Invalid Parameter" when trying to create an animation with movie()? [Longer: From scitools.std imported * according to instruction, also imported time, called movie('tmp*.png'), terminal informed me that this called "convert -delay 4 tmp*.png movie.gif", got told that 4 was Invalid Parameter.] |
| 17:49 | < froztbyte> | `convert` is a thing from the imagemagick utls |
| 17:49 | < froztbyte> | utils* |
| 17:49 | < froztbyte> | so likely convert(1) input options changed |
| 17:49 | < froztbyte> | or on the way down to where it gets called, the input options got constructedly incorrectly |
| 17:52 | < ErikMesoy> | Strange. I just downloaded and installed scitools this evening, and http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php still claims that -delay takes a value argument. |
| 17:54 | < froztbyte> | try running the command manually |
| 17:54 | < ErikMesoy> | Your advice that the problem is with convert() enabled me to discover a different possibility: another thing called convert() that's getting called from system32 instead of from imagemagick. |
| 17:56 | < froztbyte> | oh. |
| 17:56 | < froztbyte> | well, you're on windows. have fun. :P |
| 17:56 | < froztbyte> | but yeah, that's likely the pain |
| 17:57 | < froztbyte> | you might be able to either fix the PATH variable, or just fix it by hardcoding the path in the scitools caler |
| 17:57 | < froztbyte> | caller* |
| 18:18 | < ErikMesoy> | Setting PATH variable had no effect, couldn't figure out where in scitools to edit, changed registry key for terminal so that convert was a redirect to image/magick/path/stuff/convert.exe, left prominent note on desktop about convert-related regedit in case I get the other end of the problem later. |
| 18:18 | < ErikMesoy> | Working now. Thanks. |
| 19:05 | < AbuDhabi> | Hmmmm. Is there a way to run an application artificially faster? |
| 19:05 | < AbuDhabi> | Like the reverse of those tools that slow down old DOS programs which are only dependent on CPU speed. |
| 19:06 | < AbuDhabi> | But in this case an application that actually relies on proper 'X time elapsed' and so on. |
| 19:06 | < ErikMesoy> | CheatEngine or Battle Encoder Shirase? |
| 19:07 | < Syka> | AbuDhabi: messing with your sys time |
| 19:07 | < rms> | AbuDhabi: overclocking? |
| 19:07 | < Syka> | if it uses that |
| 19:07 | < Syka> | like Minecraft did, iirc |
| 19:08 | < Syka> | old dos games used cycles as a clock or something like that |
| 19:08 | < AbuDhabi> | Yes. |
| 19:09 | < Syka> | hmm, apart from messing with the sys clock, not sure. |
| 19:09 | | * Syka explodes to bed, in any event |
| 19:11 | < AbuDhabi> | CheatEngine may be what I need. I wonder if I can make it work under Linux for a WINE-run application. |
| 19:19 | | * Azash cheers for Baumgartner |

| 19:49 | < froztbyte> | man, seeing the post-jump networking-people analysis of it is great |

| 20:31 | < gnolam> | GGC? |
| 20:37 | < froztbyte> | Google Global Cache |
| 20:38 | < froztbyte> | it's the way they handle streaming content from as close to the customer edge as possible |
| 20:53 | < celticminstrel> | Post-jump what? |
| 20:55 | < froztbyte> | the analysis by networking-people |
| 20:56 | < celticminstrel> | Um. What's the jump? |
| 20:56 | < froztbyte> | Felix Baumgartner's jump from 39km above the ground |
| 21:33 | < iospace> | froztbyte: i missed it cause i was in madison |
