| 00:03 | <@simon> | hmm |
| 00:04 | <@simon> | my local crossfit center's booking API sucks a little. a training session might be listed as "-3 of 12 spots available" and you have to know from experience what the odds are of that queue thinning out before the session starts. |
| 00:06 | <@simon> | their underlying REST API, however, is terribly informing. it will tell you who (by full name) is signed up for what session. |
| 00:07 | <@simon> | I figured I'd poll their REST API every five minutes for all classes for the nearest three centres a week in advance, and log every time someone signs up for a session, stands in line for a session, or drops out from standing in line. |
| 00:09 | <@simon> | hopefully I'll be able to calculate some pretty good probabilities, initially using bayesian inference, for getting a spot given a queue and various others parameters, like how long the queue is, what type of session it is, what time of day and day of the week it is |
| 00:09 | <@simon> | obviously some people will cancel their spot more often than others. |
| 00:11 | <@simon> | I can think of so many parameters that might go into this prediction that I'm beginning to think it's a pretty good candidate for a neural network. |
| 00:13 | <@simon> | also, it's pretty crazy that I can keep track of the training habits of thousands of members. |
| 00:16 | <@simon> | all I really want, though, is for it to say "56%" next to the queue. :) |

| 00:24 | < Vorntastic> | That is way more information than I'm comfortable with an API releasing |
| 00:35 | <&Derakon> | "Regularly, doing X results in a deadlock...seems quite reproducible (until I tried to reproduce it)." |
| 00:46 | <@simon> | Vorntastic, yes. ideally, from a privacy perspective, it shouldn't let you know who signed up unless you're friends with them (for some definition of friends). |
| 00:50 | <&[R]> | Clearly you should begin stalking all the hot women to raise exposure for this issue. |
| 00:50 | <&[R]> | It's the responsible thing to do. |

| 00:59 | <&Derakon> | I gathered. |
| 00:59 | <&Derakon> | I still find it amusing. |

| 02:10 | <@simon> | hmm |
| 02:10 | <@simon> | I think I'm going to apply for a job at a fresh food distributor |
| 02:11 | <@simon> | the thing is, it's a startup that appears to have no tech employees yet (according to linkedin and their website). |
| 02:11 | <@simon> | I think they've been bootstrapping their concept without automated infrastructure so far. |
| 02:12 | <@simon> | I wonder how to negotiate salary with a startup. also, I don't know their funding status, but they must have been privately funded recently in order to spam all these job openings. maybe it's a lure. |
| 02:14 | <@simon> | ah, the whole startup community hype has luckily provided an abundance of speculation about the differences in salary negotiation for startups. |
| 02:42 | <&Derakon> | Heh. |
| 02:42 | <&Derakon> | I would say that unless you are getting in very early, you should angle your compensation much more towards dollars instead of equity. |
| 02:58 | <@simon> | in January they've existed for two years |
| 02:58 | <@simon> | but I don't see anyone doing any programming for them yet |
| 02:59 | <@simon> | so I'd say this is really quite early in terms of how developed the company is. |
| 03:00 | <@simon> | they do have a nice-looking website: http://www.fresh.land/ -- but as far as I can see, there's not a lot of back-end stuff going on. at least not visible to me. |
| 03:04 | <@simon> | hm, most people who talk about this online don't factor in the extremely beneficial working conditions in Denmark. (5 weeks vacation by law, paid maternity leave by law, govt. healthcare, etc.) |
| 03:04 | <@simon> | I see some recommendations like "you can always ask for benefits like tuition reimbursement" -- well, tuition is free, too. |
| 03:05 | <@simon> | I'm tempted to think that cold cash is better, and I'll just make my own savings (the tax benefits are equivalent). |

| 09:30 | <@Emmy> | FFS why can i not set a control's location in cm just like everything else |
| 09:30 | <@Emmy> | in code i mean. |
| 09:31 | <@Emmy> | in the properties it's in cm alright, but when i try to do it with code i get... i dunno. it's not pixels, not inches, not cm... |
| 09:31 | <@abudhabi> | Emmy: Because you're already controlling for velocity. |
| 09:31 | | * abudhabi ducks. |
| 09:33 | | * Emmy throws a quantum box containing a cat at abudhabi |
| 09:34 | <@abudhabi> | Is it Nermal? |
| 09:36 | <@Emmy> | I don't know |
| 09:36 | <@Emmy> | it might also be a very angry stray cat. |
| 09:36 | <@Emmy> | the angry part is likely though |
| 09:37 | <@Emmy> | most cats get angry when stuffed in a box and thrown at unsuspecting jokers. :P |

| 09:40 | <@Emmy> | well, i suspect that the act of being thrown tends to wake them |
| 09:40 | <@Emmy> | at the very least upon landing. :P |
| 09:41 | <@Emmy> | also, FFS microshit, why in the FUCK would you use something as a 'twip' |
| 09:41 | <@Emmy> | and i thought inches were imaginary units. >.< |
| 09:41 | <@TheWatcher> | So they could twip you up. |

| 12:15 | <&ToxicFrog> | I do like snakes! |
| 12:16 | <&ToxicFrog> | But I spent a lot of time last night looking at my ttyplay implementation and going "this would be so much more readable in a language with ->>" |
| 12:17 | <@abudhabi> | Put it in a black box and never look in again. :V |
| 12:25 | <&ToxicFrog> | Yeah, that's the plan |

| 13:40 | <@abudhabi> | I was thinking something with a GUI. |
| 13:40 | <@TheWatcher> | A terminal-only mail client that requires a significant amount of beard to use |
| 13:40 | <@TheWatcher> | I use claws-mail myself, but that does have some issues with HTML emails |
| 13:42 | <@abudhabi> | I *have* significant amount of beard! Been growing it since Easter. |
| 13:43 | <@TheWatcher> | I used to use thunderbird, but it seemed to have occasional problems with IMAP (I can't remember exactly what, it's been about 6 years) |
| 13:44 | <@abudhabi> | Will that be an issue if I plan to use this in a "download, but keep copy on mail server" manner? |
| 13:45 | <@abudhabi> | AFAIK, IMAP is for keeping stuff remotely. |
| 13:48 | <@TheWatcher> | Should be fine for pop3s/etc. And for all I know, the IMAP problems have probably been solved, or were only there thanks to the hinkey setup in work back then or something. |
