| 15:21 | <~Vornotron> | actually I wonder if you can get regex to do this. I have a sequence of letters with blanks in such as "XZAN_HOR_ANAO". The goal is to fill in the blanks with one letter each such that a substring that includes both filled letters is a word - so XZ(ANCHORMAN)AO would work for instance. I wonder if there is a regex that would work to determine whether a given word can be found as a substring of this. |
| 15:24 | <~Vornotron> | /(((X?)Z)?A)?N)?.HOR.(A(N(AO?)?)?)?/ think that does it. |
| 15:31 | | Degi_ is now known as Degi |
| 15:32 | <~Vornotron> | corrected: /^(((x?z)?a)?n)?.hor.(a(n(ao?)?)?)?$/ |

| 18:41 | <&ToxicFrog> | Naming problem. |
| 18:41 | <&ToxicFrog> | I have an archive file format. Each entry contains both data and metadata. |
| 18:41 | <&ToxicFrog> | archive:read() returns the data, archive:stat() returns the metadata. |
| 18:41 | <&ToxicFrog> | I now also need two iterators: one over just the metadata, and one over the (metadata,data) pairs |
| 18:42 | <&ToxicFrog> | (ok, I don't need the latter, the caller can roll their own using the former, but it's convenient) |
| 18:42 | <&ToxicFrog> | The reason I don't just have one with the latter behaviour is that returning the data is potentially expensive. |
| 18:44 | <~Vornotron> | ls, cat |
| 18:44 | <~Vornotron> | not cat |
| 18:45 | <~Vornotron> | but yes ls |
| 18:45 | <&ToxicFrog> | I'm considering just having archive:contents(return_data=false) |
| 18:46 | <&ToxicFrog> | Hmm. archive:ls() for the former, archive:contents() for the latter? |
| 18:47 | <~Vornotron> | sure |
| 18:52 | <&ToxicFrog> | (working on the translation tool has inadvertently caused me to completely redesign my ss1 res file library in passing) |
| 19:02 | <@Tamber> | Oh, er. Conclusion to my thrilling fight with wifi on my phone a while back: My brother has his phone (A Sony Xperia thing?) turned off, and my phone connects to wifi nigh-instantly every time without issue. |
| 19:41 | | * Tamber resumes fist-shaking at some old iron. |
| 20:04 | <@TheWatcher> | .... wat |
| 20:07 | <@Tamber> | Considering all the other problems he's had with that phone, it wouldn't surprise me if it was screwing up the wifi, too~ |
| 20:08 | <@TheWatcher> | That would be impressive, but not impossible, aye |
| 20:08 | <@TheWatcher> | Especially since wifi is so fucking fragile |

| 20:29 | <@Tamber> | ARCBios refuses to load /bsd, with the "inappropriate file type or format" error. Will quite happily load and boot /bsd.51. diff claims that /bsd and /bsd.51 have no differences. |
| 20:39 | <&[R]> | Did it work before? |
| 20:40 | <@Tamber> | Well, it stopped working at the point I tried to upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2. That was when it started with the "inappropriate file [...]" stuff. |
| 20:40 | | Jessikat [Jessikat@Nightstar-bt5k4h.81.in-addr.arpa] has joined #code |
| 20:40 | <@Tamber> | But I still had the 5.1 kernel saved, for reasons like this. |

| 20:44 | <@Tamber> | Okay, just copied /bsd.51 over /bsd, and now it'll boot that no problem. So one weirdness down. |
| 20:44 | <@Tamber> | (Even though diff claimed they were identical already. *shrug*) |
| 20:44 | <&[R]> | Are you sure diff would print anything if you were comparing binaries? |
| 20:46 | | mac [macdjord@Nightstar-grpbnp.mc.videotron.ca] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 20:46 | <&McMartin> | It normally does, though it normally redacts the result |
| 20:46 | <&McMartin> | "Binary files $FILE_A and $FILE_B differ" |
| 20:47 | <@Tamber> | Yeah, it'll tell you if they differ; and, as is Right and Good, be silent if they match |
| 20:48 | <&McMartin> | Now, whether *this ancient version of diff* would, I could not tell you |
| 20:49 | <@Tamber> | # diff -s /bsd.51 /bsd |
| 20:49 | <@Tamber> | Files /bsd.51 and /bsd are identical |
| 20:49 | <&McMartin> | Concern resolved |
| 20:49 | <@Tamber> | I'm not entirely sure how to show what version `diff` is, though. |
| 20:50 | <@Tamber> | (And, surely, bsd 5.2 isn't so old as to be ancient... ...is it? :p) |
| 20:50 | <@Tamber> | (okay, 2013, so~) |
| 20:51 | <&McMartin> | (I think I've been traumatized excessively by the differences between bsd and gnu versions of tar) |
| 20:51 | <@Tamber> | hehe |
| 20:51 | <@Tamber> | One involves significantly more feathers? |
| 20:52 | <&McMartin> | If I remember the dumb jokes of several generations before my time, the "feathering" that happened after tarring an archive was "running it through compress or gzip or whatever" |
| 20:53 | <@Tamber> | that makes sense :) |
| 20:56 | | * Tamber continues prodding and poking. |
| 20:59 | <@Tamber> | Hm. It won't boot the 5.1 /bsd.rd, either. |

| 21:30 | | * TheWatcher ponders Tamber |
| 21:31 | <@TheWatcher> | Is there some reason you're not just copying data elsewhere and then just wiping and starting from scratch on this thing? >.> |
| 21:32 | <@Tamber> | Well, I'd like to, but it won't boot the 6.3 bsd.rd either. :p |
| 21:32 | <@TheWatcher> | Because strikes me it might be a bit easier at this point... |
| 21:33 | <@Tamber> | There's nothing bloody easy about this thing. :) |
| 21:33 | <@Tamber> | This is a leftover from when I used to enjoy tinkering with computers, and decided to get into a little bit of retrocomputing. I should probably pass it on to someone else who would do something with it, but *shrug* |

| 21:34 | <@Tamber> | The only reason it's been sat since 2011 is that I got it to boot BSD, then went "...now what?" |
| 21:36 | <@Tamber> | And that was about at the time I just threw my hands up and gave up on trying to get my boot in the door working in any sort of computer-related industry; moved on to steel fabrication, and just kinda... ran out of enthusiasm for technology for its own sake. |
| 21:36 | <@TheWatcher> | Fair enough |

| 21:37 | <@Tamber> | (Because apparently it takes a huge wodge of qualifications, and 5 years of already working in The Industry™, to get an entry level job that pays peanuts, in the IT world~) |
| 21:38 | <@Tamber> | Whereas I walked pretty much straight into an apprenticeship that paid peanuts, doing steel fab, and it was more fun.XD |
| 21:44 | <@TheWatcher> | Plus, you're probably treated better |
| 22:09 | | * Tamber cries a little. |
| 22:09 | <@Tamber> | I was at the first place I worked. |
| 22:10 | <@Tamber> | Now I'm at a hardware shop that runs by game-dev shop deadline rules~ |
| 22:18 | <@Tamber> | (I worked a grand total of 1 (8hr) day's worth of overtime at the first place, in 2 years I was there. At my current place, in 3.5 years, I've done the equivalent of 77.25 8-hr days as overtime. Most of that is staying late to meet nigh-impossible "Yeah, sure, we can have that ready for you" deadlines.) |
| 22:22 | <@TheWatcher> | Blegh |
| 22:23 | <@Tamber> | Cherry on the top of that is we've recently taken on a new sales guy, because we weren't struggling enough to meet deadlines already. |
| 22:26 | <@TheWatcher> | Ah, management by the "If you get stuff done on time, you don't have enough to do!" system |
| 22:27 | <@Tamber> | Management by the "Well, you managed it last time (with a heroic effort and significant overtime), so it's clearly perfectly feasible again!" system. |
| 22:28 | <@TheWatcher> | same thing~ |
| 22:28 | <@Tamber> | Working at 120% is something that can be done in short bursts, with corresponding reduction in output to recover later; but there is no reduction in demand of output, nor recovery. Every bloody week, it's a crazy rush to get a job out of the door. |
| 22:30 | <@Tamber> | Anyway, I've been ranty enough about that already today. |
| 22:31 | <@TheWatcher> | We have a new head of admin, who has a head full of wooly management bullshit, but in relevant part has changed the way she wants various section heads to report status to her. PArt of this change is a weeking thing that apparently includes a section "What help do you need?" |
| 22:32 | <@TheWatcher> | I'm trying to persuade my boss to simply leave that as "Hire another 3 team members" every week >.> |
| 22:35 | <@TheWatcher> | (Not going to happen, because it's apparently fine to drop a billion on a bunch of new buildings, but actually hiring enough staff and paying people properly? Good gods, no) |
