| 01:09 | <&[R]> | OMFG |
| 01:10 | <&[R]> | TIL `ls -d */` |
| 01:13 | <&ToxicFrog> | ls -d is so useful |
| 01:18 | <&[R]> | Yeah, the */ bit is the new thing to me though |
| 01:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | Aah |
| 01:23 | <&[R]> | And it looks like `for d in */` works as expected too. |

| 18:04 | | * ToxicFrog grumps at python |
| 18:04 | <&ToxicFrog> | The code: sys.stdout.write("\rScanning: %d files" % n) |
| 18:04 | <&ToxicFrog> | The error: TypeError: write() argument must be str, not bytes |
| 18:05 | <&ToxicFrog> | It is a str! |
| 18:08 | < Degi> | What does the % n do |
| 18:09 | <&ToxicFrog> | Degi: formatting, equivalent to sprintf() |
| 18:10 | <&ToxicFrog> | "%s: %d" % (name, count) in python is eqv to sprintf("%s: %d", name, count) |
| 18:10 | <&ToxicFrog> | If there's only one formatting code you can drop the () around the arguments |
| 18:12 | | Vash [Vash@Nightstar-1l3nul.res.rr.com] has quit [Connection closed] |
| 18:15 | <~Vornicus> | looks like py3 so you should probably aim at s.format() instead really but |
| 18:17 | <&ToxicFrog> | Vornicus: I'm updating a ~1600loc project from py2 to p3, so |
| 18:18 | <&ToxicFrog> | (as part of hopefully making it more robust when dealing with wacky character encoding catastrophes) |
| 18:18 | <~Vornicus> | that is quite surprising and I'm not sure why it's happening. |
| 18:18 | <@celticminstrel> | Maybe the % operator returns bytes instead of str? |
| 18:18 | <&ToxicFrog> | (although this may ultimately be a doomed endeavour because I depend on Mutagen and Mutagen seems to have trouble round-tripping stuff that is neither latin1 nor utf8) |
| 18:18 | <@celticminstrel> | Though that would be weird. |
| 18:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | celticminstrel: I tested it, and it doesn't |
| 18:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | I have in fact found the problem |
| 18:19 | <@celticminstrel> | Ah. |
| 18:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | At the start of main() I had: sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter('utf8')(sys.stdout) |
| 18:19 | <&[R]> | Python 3.6.0 (default, Mar 18 2017, 03:46:24) |

| 18:59 | <&[R]> | Wow, I found a page that segfaults Firefox |

| 19:02 | <@celticminstrel> | Fun! |
| 19:17 | | Vash [Vash@Nightstar-1l3nul.res.rr.com] has quit [[NS] Quit: Quit] |
| 19:36 | < Degi> | Link? |
| 19:38 | <&ToxicFrog> | ...as seems to keep happening lately, I just found out that someone else has written a better version of the program I'm working on |
| 19:42 | <&[R]> | http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/hard-to-find-contractor-leaves-trail-of-debt-and-unfinished-jobs-1.2648744 |
| 19:42 | <&[R]> | ^ The link that segfaults me. |
| 19:43 | <&[R]> | I'm using an old version of FF, though |
| 19:43 | | * celticminstrel tries it, crosses fingers. >_> |
| 19:43 | <@celticminstrel> | No crash here on Mac with FF47. |
| 19:43 | <&[R]> | It's something that loads later, so you'll have to wait for it a bit |
| 19:43 | | * [R] has FF 52 on Linux FYI |
| 19:45 | <@celticminstrel> | Still seems to be okay. |
| 19:45 | <@celticminstrel> | I guess there's occasionally advantages to having an old version. |
| 19:48 | <&[R]> | ToxicFrog: That's always great though. Means you can work on something else |
| 19:52 | <&McMartin> | What is the thing? |
| 19:56 | <&ToxicFrog> | McMartin: my project was `mo`, a command line tool for bulk tagging and renaming of music files |
| 19:56 | <&ToxicFrog> | The external version is `beets` |
| 19:56 | <@celticminstrel> | That sounds useful... |
| 19:57 | <@celticminstrel> | iTunes seems to sometimes randomly break its tags so that you can't change them anymore (mostly with album art). |
| 19:57 | <&[R]> | Oh nice, I wanted something like that |
| 19:58 | | * celticminstrel finds it weird that ToxicFrog is speaking markdown on IRC though. |
| 20:00 | <&ToxicFrog> | celticminstrel: it's convenient to differentiate commands from other things even on nets that don't support markdown |
| 20:00 | <&ToxicFrog> | And since my client is also connected to discord and slack, which do, it's a good habit to get into |
| 20:00 | <@celticminstrel> | Still weird though. |
| 20:02 | <&[R]> | My one main complaint about markdown is that *this* is not bold. |
| 20:02 | <@celticminstrel> | But **this** is. |
| 20:02 | <@celticminstrel> | Still, it makes it weird when you want bold italic. |
| 20:02 | <@celticminstrel> | Which admittedly isn't very often though. |
| 20:05 | <&[R]> | Yeah, you want *__this__* **_this_* or some other mix of that. |
| 20:06 | <&[R]> | __this__ being bold is also weird |
| 20:09 | <@celticminstrel> | Yeah. |
| 20:09 | <&ToxicFrog> | On all the nets I'm on that use markdown-like syntax, they use * for bold and _ for underline or italic |
| 20:09 | <&ToxicFrog> | And ** basically doesn't get used |
| 20:11 | <&ToxicFrog> | Oh my word, it looks like beets also has a plugin that replaces my `mkmp3tree` script |
| 20:23 | <@macdjord> | [R]: That would actually make sense - cut down on false positives from, e.g., using a single trailing asterisk for a footnote. |
| 20:24 | <@macdjord> | [R]: Also, that link works fine for me (FF 68.0.2 64-bit on Win10) |
| 20:34 | | Vornicus [Vorn@Nightstar-1l3nul.res.rr.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 20:35 | <@celticminstrel> | My preference would be *bold* /italic/ _underline_ ~strikethru~ |

| 23:30 | <@macdjord> | celticminstrel: For pseudo-styling, i.e. for indicating emphasis in plaintext to a human reader, I agree (though I prefer -strikethrough-). For machine-readable markup, though, single-asterisk and single-forwardslash are both used too often in other ways - footnotes and filepaths, respectively - to make good choices. |
| 23:32 | <@celticminstrel> | I can see what you mean there, yeah. |

| 23:48 | | Deraekon is now known as Derakon |
| 23:52 | <&ToxicFrog> | If you're using asterisks for footnotes rather than superscript numerals, get in the hell, imo |
| 23:54 | <&[R]> | If you're using them on *both sides* then you're just asking for it. |
