Time Nickname Message
00:21 πŸ”— SketchCow Yeah, isn't that crazy
00:29 πŸ”— godane i'm finding old basic programing files on aol
00:56 πŸ”— Jonimus SketchCow: the irony of me watching an atari on a device that could fit in its controller.
00:57 πŸ”— arkhive I canҀ™t wait until I can buy the BlackBerry Passport. (iҀ™m rockinҀ™ the BB Z10 right now)
00:58 πŸ”— arkhive before that i was back with Android. Then before that Windows Mobile.
03:12 πŸ”— vantec and yet we still use efnet
03:42 πŸ”— aaaaaaaaa another netsplit?
09:12 πŸ”— arkhive joepie91: iҀ™m playing your destructomatch game. on level 6 it is so fun
09:15 πŸ”— arkhive game over level 8 damn
11:31 πŸ”— joepie91 arkhive: :D
11:31 πŸ”— joepie91 level 10 is the last one, only one person has beaten it so far that I know of :P
11:51 πŸ”— Rotab url?
11:51 πŸ”— Rotab found bunch of differnet ones
14:06 πŸ”— joepie91 .tw https://twitter.com/joepie91/status/509704305067454464
14:06 πŸ”— botpie91 Microsoft maybe buying @MojangTeam? I guess that (now removed) promise of open-sourcing #Minecraft is not happening. https://web.archive.org/web/20120724055912/http://www.minecraft.net/game (@joepie91)
14:06 πŸ”— joepie91 Rotab: of the game? http://cryto.net/destructomatch
14:10 πŸ”— Rotab joepie91: ah
14:10 πŸ”— Rotab so, not this then.. :) http://www.neopets.com/games/game.phtml?game_id=999
14:10 πŸ”— joepie91 Rotab: that is what it is based off :)
14:10 πŸ”— Rotab oh
14:10 πŸ”— joepie91 inspirationally that is
14:10 πŸ”— joepie91 not code-wise
14:12 πŸ”— Rotab those graphics
14:25 πŸ”— joepie91 dx: I can't see MS open-sourcing Minecraft, basically
14:25 πŸ”— joepie91 there's no reason for them to do so
14:26 πŸ”— dx joepie91: even mojang doesn't want to, anyway. ever since the bukkit team joined, they decided they wanted to do a bukkit-like api, not "full source code access"
14:27 πŸ”— dx also, notch's promise works on the assumption that people will get bored of minecraft at some point
14:27 πŸ”— dx i'm.. not really sure if that's going to happen
14:28 πŸ”— joepie91 balrog: what about flight simulator?
14:28 πŸ”— joepie91 dx: well then.
14:29 πŸ”— balrog they let it stagnate, fired the team, did nothing with it for a few years, and finally licensed the IP to another company
14:29 πŸ”— dx but hey, now it looks better than before! http://mujweb.cz/havlikjosef/galery/MSFS2.12_03.png
14:30 πŸ”— joepie91 lol
14:34 πŸ”— Rotab joepie91: level 7 :(
14:37 πŸ”— joepie91 :P
14:42 πŸ”— joepie91 norbert79: why. why is all this crap in Java
14:42 πŸ”— * joepie91 wants minetest to succeed
14:42 πŸ”— norbert79 [16:40:35] < norbert79> joepie91: Yeah, won't get it Open Sourced, but there are many projects ongoing
14:42 πŸ”— norbert79 [16:41:04] < norbert79> and this looks quite advanced: http://terasology.org/
14:42 πŸ”— norbert79 [16:41:51] < norbert79> of course not compatible with MC, but it would be a good base for an open source clone
14:42 πŸ”— norbert79 Sorry for repeat :)
14:42 πŸ”— joepie91 yeah, see above
14:43 πŸ”— norbert79 well, I am sure not even 1.8 bukkit API will happen
14:43 πŸ”— norbert79 Sponge is a new direction, which gained speed
14:43 πŸ”— norbert79 there are several hundred in their IRC channel
14:43 πŸ”— norbert79 and many Mojang employees walk around there too
14:43 πŸ”— norbert79 like Grum
14:50 πŸ”— joepie91 norbert79: where?
14:54 πŸ”— balrog norbert79: a Bukkit API for 1.8 will not happen.
14:54 πŸ”— balrog joepie91: if it was in C/C++ we wouldn't have so much proliferation of mods and plugins.
14:54 πŸ”— balrog btw, if you want an example of what not to do, look at cubeworld
14:56 πŸ”— joepie91 balrog: there's more in the world than just Java, C and C++...
14:57 πŸ”— joepie91 point in case: factorio
14:57 πŸ”— joepie91 C++ (afaik), built on Allegro, with built-in Lua runtime for modding
14:58 πŸ”— joepie91 runs on Windows, OS X and Linux
14:58 πŸ”— joepie91 small indie project
14:59 πŸ”— joepie91 bonus:
14:59 πŸ”— joepie91 "There are some unresolved issues regarding allegro that we would really like to get solved, but we don't have the time to dig into it. Luckily we found an Allegro developer, that is willing to help us with those issues as a contractor. On top of that, we are willing to push all the fixes and improvements, if they get approved, back into Allegro so others can be spared the trouble. I really hope that some of the very old and stinking Allegro
14:59 πŸ”— joepie91 related bugs will get resolved."
14:59 πŸ”— joepie91 despite factorio not actually being open-source (yet)
15:00 πŸ”— joepie91 so clearly it's possible to write a highly efficient moddable game (that actually gets modded in practice, too) with a small team, have it run cross-platform, have it be stable, and *still* have it be efficiently developed with the ability to stay afloat financially
15:00 πŸ”— joepie91 without using Java
15:16 πŸ”— DFJustin wow nice to see allegro is still around
15:17 πŸ”— DFJustin I played around with that for a while trying to make dos games like 15 years ago
15:26 πŸ”— joepie91 DFJustin: it's not only around, but I have to say that I'm legitimately impressed by how well Factorio runs
15:26 πŸ”— joepie91 on Allegro
15:26 πŸ”— joepie91 it runs perfectly smoothly on my old Latitude with integrated Intel graphics
15:27 πŸ”— DFJustin ah apparently it's been redesigned for 5.x, no more dos support :(
15:27 πŸ”— joepie91 despite the absolutely insane amount of entities it needs to keep track of and render
15:27 πŸ”— DFJustin but yeah I remember it was comically faster than directx on my old pentium
15:36 πŸ”— schbirid joepie91 made a game?
15:39 πŸ”— joepie91 lol
15:39 πŸ”— joepie91 schbirid: I did, quite some time ago
15:39 πŸ”— joepie91 it's not original though
15:39 πŸ”— joepie91 it's just a basic remake
15:39 πŸ”— joepie91 mostly as a tech demo
15:39 πŸ”— joepie91 http://cryto.net/destructomatch
15:40 πŸ”— joepie91 if you are asking about Factorio, no, I did not make that
15:44 πŸ”— schbirid nice
15:47 πŸ”— schbirid aww cant retry when i die?
15:52 πŸ”— joepie91 schbirid: in destructomatch? nope, have to start from 1 again :P
15:58 πŸ”— schbirid :P
16:06 πŸ”— schbirid ouch http://kebabapps.blogspot.de/robots.txt
16:06 πŸ”— schbirid IA reads that as not alloed
16:06 πŸ”— schbirid oh nvm
16:07 πŸ”— * schbirid was on a /search/ url =)
17:38 πŸ”— insane_al aaahhh!!!! vista! nuke it from orbit!
17:38 πŸ”— insane_al i hate it when i'm given a vista machine to fix :(
17:43 πŸ”— RedType vista was a perfectly fine os
17:43 πŸ”— Jonimus ^
17:43 πŸ”— RedType it got a really bad rap because it was "different" and also because microsoft let intel pressure them into releasing it on shit hardware that really barely had any business running xp
17:43 πŸ”— Jonimus ^
17:43 πŸ”— aaaaaaaaa I prefer to think of it as the windows 7 beta; or is windows 7 vista SP3?
17:43 πŸ”— Jonimus Most OEM's sold hardware that had no business being in new machines.
17:44 πŸ”— Jonimus That said Vista should have run on the intel atom better, an option to disable some of the things would have been good.
17:45 πŸ”— RedType pfft
17:45 πŸ”— RedType the old atoms had no business being in new machines
17:45 πŸ”— RedType i have a netbook that came with xp
17:45 πŸ”— RedType it is unusable on the modern web
18:14 πŸ”— insane_al its probably more the fact that i'm not really a windows user
18:15 πŸ”— insane_al my work laptop is debian and my personal machines are all arch
18:16 πŸ”— insane_al i only ever touch windows when i fix friends and familys computers
18:16 πŸ”— insane_al either virus cleanup or user fucked up cleanup
18:17 πŸ”— insane_al the occasional hardware failure
18:17 πŸ”— insane_al vista is just the one OS i have the most bother with
18:18 πŸ”— insane_al not tried, or even seen an install of, windows 8
18:18 πŸ”— turnip I Arch at home, but use Windows 8.1 at work
18:19 πŸ”— turnip I'm surprised at how much I like it
18:19 πŸ”— aaaaaaaaa It is amazing on a fresh windows 8 install how each update makes it more usable.
18:19 πŸ”— insane_al i'm sure i'll see it eventually
18:20 πŸ”— insane_al think i'll stick with linux though
18:20 πŸ”— insane_al it works well for me
18:20 πŸ”— joepie91 [19:43] <RedType> vista was a perfectly fine os
18:20 πŸ”— joepie91 ... no...
18:20 πŸ”— joepie91 it was also massively inefficient
18:20 πŸ”— joepie91 compared to BOTH 7 and XP
18:21 πŸ”— joepie91 and a bunch of crap like UAC was even more poorly implementeed than it is now
18:21 πŸ”— joepie91 implemented *
18:21 πŸ”— joepie91 not to mention the numerous bypasses
18:21 πŸ”— joepie91 and general carelessness regarding compatibility with software developed for XP
18:21 πŸ”— joepie91 Vista was objectively terrible
18:21 πŸ”— joepie91 compared to XP and 7
18:22 πŸ”— joepie91 (that said, I have absolutely no desire to touch Windows, I <3 my opensuse and I am frequently reminded of exactly why I don't use Windows, by friends of mine who rage about shit randomly breaking and/or it being impossible to get a sane development environment going for something that isn't .NET)
18:22 πŸ”— insane_al ewww... .net
18:23 πŸ”— joepie91 .NET honestly isn't too bad compared to what other offerings MS has had...
18:23 πŸ”— insane_al python3 and c++ for me
18:23 πŸ”— joepie91 it's actually fairly decent
18:23 πŸ”— joepie91 still not something I'd use by choice, and I am definitely irked by its lack of crossplatform support
18:23 πŸ”— joepie91 but it's not /that/ bad
18:24 πŸ”— insane_al ok, to be fair, i never actually got it running
18:24 πŸ”— godane if any one knows how to code in autoitscript go to #aohell
18:25 πŸ”— insane_al i just know some applications i used to use required different versions of .net which conflicted with each other
18:25 πŸ”— godane this is way we can get more help with saving aol files
18:25 πŸ”— joepie91 surprising, I've found .NET runtimes to generally coexist fairly peacefully
18:25 πŸ”— joepie91 definitely better than Ruby anyway...
18:26 πŸ”— insane_al all i remember is the IT department fussing over it for half a day before giving up
18:26 πŸ”— yipdw ruby and coexistence is about as funny a joke as Israel and Palastine
18:26 πŸ”— yipdw which sort of makes chruby/rvm the UN
18:26 πŸ”— yipdw or US
18:26 πŸ”— joepie91 and makes the user the punchline of the joke
18:26 πŸ”— yipdw that said, I've done it dozens of times
18:27 πŸ”— joepie91 (did I mention how intensely I hate Ruby version management)
18:27 πŸ”— yipdw it's actually gotten a lot better nowadays as Ruby has stabilized
18:27 πŸ”— insane_al haven't used ruby much
18:27 πŸ”— joepie91 yipdw: I ran into issues the other day
18:27 πŸ”— joepie91 rubyripper required version X
18:27 πŸ”— joepie91 devdocs required version Y
18:28 πŸ”— insane_al i use python for most things
18:28 πŸ”— yipdw oh yeah
18:28 πŸ”— joepie91 I haven't even bothered getting it running tbh
18:28 πŸ”— joepie91 I don't want to go through that hell again
18:28 πŸ”— insane_al then port it to C++ if i need more speed
18:28 πŸ”— yipdw I wouldn't write distributable software in Ruby
18:28 πŸ”— joepie91 yipdw: to be fair, I needed devdocs stuff to write a parser
18:28 πŸ”— joepie91 not to run in prod
18:29 πŸ”— joepie91 :P
18:29 πŸ”— yipdw I like the language and the runtimes are getting pretty good, but the logistics of deploying Ruby apps are really only suitable for SaaS apps
18:29 πŸ”— yipdw centrally managed SaaS apps
18:30 πŸ”— joepie91 yipdw: I have honestly been unable to understand why one would pick Ruby over, say, Node.js + Coffeescript
18:31 πŸ”— joepie91 can you enlighten me?
18:31 πŸ”— yipdw library choice, familiarity
18:31 πŸ”— joepie91 yes, but assuming no prior familiarity with either
18:31 πŸ”— yipdw I don't know
18:31 πŸ”— yipdw preemptive threading
18:31 πŸ”— yipdw (in some runtimes)
18:32 πŸ”— yipdw JVM integration if using JRuby
18:32 πŸ”— insane_al omg you've convinced me!
18:32 πŸ”— yipdw I'm not trying to
18:32 πŸ”— insane_al i was just kidding
18:32 πŸ”— yipdw these are business cases I've hit over the past few years
18:32 πŸ”— DFJustin > shit randomly breaking
18:32 πŸ”— yipdw they're admittedly niche cases, and I can't actually think of something compelling
18:32 πŸ”— DFJustin > uses linux
18:33 πŸ”— yipdw the main reason ArchiveBot's bot component uses Ruby is because cinch is a badass IRC bot framework
18:33 πŸ”— insane_al i do nothing complex (from a programming point of view) so i can basically use anything
18:33 πŸ”— yipdw the main reason ArchiveBot's dashboard component uses Ruby is because there's a nice Webmachine port to Ruby and I really didn't want to use Erlang :P
18:33 πŸ”— joepie91 yipdw: preemptive threading?
18:33 πŸ”— yipdw I should have said preemptive, native threads
18:34 πŸ”— yipdw MRI still has a global interpreter lock, but JRuby and Rubinius will run Ruby code in parallel on all cores
18:34 πŸ”— yipdw it can make a difference
18:34 πŸ”— joepie91 yipdw: https://github.com/xk/node-threads-a-gogo
18:34 πŸ”— joepie91 afaik this does effectively the same
18:35 πŸ”— yipdw sure
18:35 πŸ”— yipdw there's higher-level abstractions built on both
18:35 πŸ”— joepie91 as for webmachine, I don't understand what's so special about it, and it does not occur to me from reading the README
18:35 πŸ”— yipdw personal preference
18:35 πŸ”— yipdw I like the way it formalizes HTTP as a state machine
18:35 πŸ”— yipdw that's all
18:36 πŸ”— yipdw "personal preference" is my answer to about 90% of "why X"-type programming questions :P
18:36 πŸ”— joepie91 ... HTTP as a state machine?
18:36 πŸ”— yipdw yeah
18:36 πŸ”— yipdw https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/basho/webmachine/images/http-headers-status-v3.png
18:37 πŸ”— joepie91 okay...?
18:37 πŸ”— * joepie91 still doesn't get what this means for webmachine
18:37 πŸ”— yipdw it's the formalism that webmachine is built on
18:37 πŸ”— yipdw your webmachine handlers provide the answers for the decision nodes
18:38 πŸ”— joepie91 can you give a (code) example?
18:39 πŸ”— yipdw sure
18:39 πŸ”— yipdw https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ArchiveBot/blob/master/dashboard/resources/pipeline.rb
18:40 πŸ”— yipdw webmachine state machine handles a lot of the cases I don't care about with appropriate responses
18:40 πŸ”— yipdw e.g. https://www.refheap.com/b9aba3c4314446eea6a024651
18:40 πŸ”— yipdw I didn't define an XML content-type for that resource, so I get a 406
18:40 πŸ”— yipdw Rails etc do this too; webmachine is not the only way to do it
18:42 πŸ”— joepie91 I don't quite understand what's so special about it - it seems like a fairly standard way to me to do REST APIs and such
18:43 πŸ”— joepie91 as an aside; StyleX Networks is closing, so anything hosted by them may go boom
18:43 πŸ”— joepie91 not that they were particularly big
18:43 πŸ”— joepie91 but they tried very hard to appear professional and big, so they may host some significant stuff
18:43 πŸ”— joepie91 (it's a hosting company)
18:43 πŸ”— yipdw joepie91: yeah, that's the idea
18:44 πŸ”— yipdw it implements a formalism in which you can specify the answers to the questions that are being asked, and then webmachine produces the appropriate response
18:44 πŸ”— yipdw so I don't have to think about what HTTP code I'm supposed to present given some combination of headers etc
18:44 πŸ”— yipdw it's not special
18:44 πŸ”— yipdw or at least it shouldn't be
18:45 πŸ”— yipdw Rails' ActionController::Responder implements a similar system but uses a different API
18:45 πŸ”— yipdw the webmachine system appeals to the part of me that really enjoyed Theory of Computation class
18:45 πŸ”— yipdw that's about it :P
18:46 πŸ”— joepie91 right
18:46 πŸ”— joepie91 :P
18:46 πŸ”— yipdw it's sort of the same reason I use ragel, bison, etc
18:46 πŸ”— yipdw they're very close concrete manifestations of nice models that can be applicable in some situations
18:47 πŸ”— yipdw (and they can be extended to shit all over said model if you really need to)
18:53 πŸ”— joepie91 btw, yipdw: http://loopback.io/
22:46 πŸ”— schbirid i dont know why, but i wondered how big myspass.de (some private german tv station videos) is. so now i know, ~900 GB
22:46 πŸ”— schbirid sadly downloading is too slow to make it feasible
22:55 πŸ”— godane uploading ncaa news right now: https://archive.org/details/NCAA-News-19640301
22:56 πŸ”— godane note there maybe pdfs in that collection that will not work at all
23:14 πŸ”— jscottsuc Jason Scott is a very idiotic jerk who bullies 16-year old boys. This means that this jerk is harassing a minor, who has a dream of starting his own web collection without the help of that middle-age, Muslim-bearded fucknugget. I will succeed with my own web collection, whether SketchCow and his retarded ArchiveTeam members like it or not. Dec-31-99 is holier
23:14 πŸ”— jscottsuc http://pastebin.com/EUzDgPSw
23:14 πŸ”— jscottsuc Fuck SketchCow
23:19 πŸ”— godane just for fun throw that at archivebot
23:20 πŸ”— RedType wait dec-31-99 was the guy who was having trouble understanding what a VPS was?
23:21 πŸ”— RedType or virtualization, or even the command line when it came down to it
23:21 πŸ”— schbirid poor guy
23:23 πŸ”— RedType 20:06 <Dec-31-99> The more answers I receive, the less questions I ask. *irrefutable*
23:24 πŸ”— RedType if only it actually worked like that
23:25 πŸ”— schbirid his word have all the signs of mental issues, let's give him some graceful /ignore
23:26 πŸ”— godane so i'm having a dunkin' donuts ice coffee
23:28 πŸ”— RedType we're getting a DD in the bay area some time soonish
23:32 πŸ”— godane we have 2 in less 200 yards from each other
23:32 πŸ”— godane one at gas station and one near the post office
23:45 πŸ”— aaaaaaaaa http://www.chron.com/business/article/One-on-corner-there-are-3-places-to-get-your-1745816.php
23:50 πŸ”— godane we had a starbucks across a walmart here
23:50 πŸ”— godane now you can get loans there
23:57 πŸ”— Muad-Dib[ * jscottsuc (4c163e17@ircip1.mibbit.com) has joined
23:58 πŸ”— Muad-Dib[ >mibbit.com
23:58 πŸ”— Muad-Dib[ top lel
23:59 πŸ”— RedType i just realized that in the manifesto he doesn't actually say how to join him
