00:00 🔗 aaaaaaaaa I do like how their job requirements include "a sense of humor"
00:14 🔗 godane i'm grabbing medium.com through a proxy now
00:15 🔗 godane i hope this will webarchive right
00:21 🔗 wyatt8740 has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
00:21 🔗 anomie godane: Why throught a proxy? Is it blocked by something?
00:22 🔗 anomie aaaaaaaaa: Damn… I'm too dump for those jobs.
00:22 🔗 wyatt8740 has joined #archiveteam-bs
00:23 🔗 godane anomie: its blocked or a bad connection for me
00:24 🔗 godane i have been having this problem for over a month
00:35 🔗 aaaaaaaaa I still think they must have IP banned you and maybe the user agent too.
00:36 🔗 vitzli has joined #archiveteam-bs
00:41 🔗 superkuh has joined #archiveteam-bs
00:45 🔗 yakfish has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
00:45 🔗 yakfish has joined #archiveteam-bs
00:48 🔗 anomie So, what are some pro-active archivist organizations other than archive-team?
01:08 🔗 godane no
01:08 🔗 godane i'm just the one man archiveteam
01:08 🔗 godane :P
01:11 🔗 yakfish has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
01:12 🔗 anomie godane: Yes, but I'm wondering what other organizations archive stuff for the common good.
01:13 🔗 godane these guys: http://www2.archivists.org/
01:15 🔗 vitzli "463 digital audio files (11.6 GB)"
01:15 🔗 primus104 has quit IRC (Leaving.)
01:17 🔗 anomie godane: My first impression is that it seems to be more about job seeking, not that it's a bad thing.
01:17 🔗 yipdw anomie: IA, Library of Congress, British Library, others
01:17 🔗 anomie All right.
01:17 🔗 anomie That reminds me, does the LoC archive websites too?
01:18 🔗 yipdw I'm not sure but I think it's yes
01:18 🔗 yipdw others might know better
01:19 🔗 yipdw anyway I think what really makes Archive Team so visible is that we have a badass promoter
01:19 🔗 anomie Okay, I guess the SAA does do some nice things. http://www2.archivists.org/news/2015/saa-calls-on-facebook-to-enable-content-downloading-for-pages
01:21 🔗 toad2 has joined #archiveteam-bs
01:23 🔗 toad1 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
01:28 🔗 anomie Anyone with a subscription to the American Archivist willing to do me favor?
01:28 🔗 anomie Non open-access journals really annoy me. -_-
01:30 🔗 DFJustin http://sci-hub.club/
01:31 🔗 anomie DFJustin: Isn't that just another libgen mirror?
01:31 🔗 vitzli no, it's a website that fills libgen with scientific articles
01:31 🔗 anomie Oh, nice.
01:32 🔗 anomie Regardless, they still don't have what I want.
01:34 🔗 DFJustin (it's a proxy for accessing journal articles through subscribing institutions)
01:35 🔗 anomie Oh…
01:35 🔗 anomie That's nice.
01:35 🔗 anomie I bet it's turned into a cat and mouse game though.
01:37 🔗 anomie It doesn't work for the American Archivist though.
01:44 🔗 vitzli anomie, doi?
01:46 🔗 anomie vitzli: 10.17723/0360-9081.78.1.84
01:47 🔗 JesseW has joined #archiveteam-bs
01:52 🔗 vitzli no luck for me either, I thought they did ip lock
02:13 🔗 yakfish has joined #archiveteam-bs
02:26 🔗 anomie Darn.
02:28 🔗 anomie I've never understood why organizations with membership dues such as the American Archivist, ACM, etc. feel the need to paywall their contributions to science.

03:10 🔗 JesseW Delightful Infocom advertisment from 1984: https://i.imgur.com/RQxDyoP.jpg

04:11 🔗 JesseW https://twitter.com/PObean/status/639622298581004288 <- this makes me think it would be nice to code up a easy-to-use WARC-to-zip (with link-conversion) utility (and even better if that got added to IA's automatic list of derivers)
04:12 🔗 JesseW It'd probably be good to add that to one of the Dev-tasks-available-for-volunteers lists...
04:12 🔗 JesseW if it isn't already on there
04:17 🔗 anomie I think that'd also be nice.
04:18 🔗 anomie If there is a warc library for common lisp, I might try it.
04:20 🔗 JesseW anomie: it should be pretty fast to /write/ a warc library for common lisp -- the warc format is basically just a pile of key value pairs intersperced with big data blobs
04:21 🔗 JesseW Check http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=WARC for info and links
04:22 🔗 aaaaaaaaa I believe I got my copy of the draft from here http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/
04:23 🔗 anomie JesseW: I guess that's true. I might try it, but I'll have to get more familiar with the language.
04:23 🔗 anomie Where's the spec?
04:25 🔗 JesseW anomie: which language, common lisp? Is there a language you are more familiar with? There are existing libraries in python, java and a few others, I think.
04:25 🔗 JesseW anomie: see aaaaaaaaa's link. :-)
04:26 🔗 aaaaaaaaa one trap is that a warc.gz file is usually multiple gz files concatenated together.
04:28 🔗 robink has joined #archiveteam-bs
04:29 🔗 anomie JesseW: My problem is that I'm not really that familiar with any language. I keep changing my mind!
04:29 🔗 anomie I think I'll stick with CL though.
04:30 🔗 JesseW CL is certainly pretty.
04:31 🔗 JesseW I assume you've seen dwheeler's project for a prettier syntax? http://readable.sourceforge.net/
04:31 🔗 anomie That being said, not everything is the most idiomatic, but it's not very hard to abstract stuff away if you need to.
04:32 🔗 anomie I like my parentheses though.
04:33 🔗 aschmitz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
04:33 🔗 aaaaaaaaa isn't that prefix? I can't seem to get my brain to bend that way
04:34 🔗 JesseW The readable project won't take away your parentheses -- just let you use alternatives when they are helpful.
04:35 🔗 JesseW ... and avoid prefix notation when it is unnecessarily brain-bending
04:35 🔗 JesseW (note, I haven't written much CL, or used the readable project's stuff -- this is just from reading about it)
04:38 🔗 aaaaaaaaa I'm new to programming (in things other than basic), but I prefer python. Seems easy to get it to do what I want and there seems to be just about everything in the library, let alone PyPI.
04:39 🔗 JesseW python is certainly lovely (although it isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and the 2/3 transition was^C^C^Cis badly handled)
04:40 🔗 JesseW aaaaaaaaa: what version of basic have you used? I started on QBasic, which I really need to see if it is in the Software Collection yet.
04:40 🔗 robink has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 492 seconds)
04:41 🔗 JesseW YES, IT IS! https://archive.org/details/msdos_qbasic_megapack
04:41 🔗 aaaaaaaaa I don't even remember what I started with, but it wasn't qbasic, I believe that was labels, not line numbers
04:42 🔗 anomie >qbasic
04:42 🔗 anomie >not superior freebasic
04:42 🔗 * anomie looks at selected channel
04:42 🔗 anomie Oops.
04:42 🔗 anomie Sorry, I thought I was on #/tech/
04:44 🔗 aaaaaaaaa maybe it was asic? I can't remember. The closest I've been for awhile was VBS and VBA
04:44 🔗 JesseW I still love QBasic over the later Basic's I used.
04:45 🔗 JesseW now I want to go see if I can dig up the code I wrote back then
04:45 🔗 anomie Is qbasic still maintained?
04:46 🔗 aaaaaaaaa has quit IRC (Leaving)

04:50 🔗 JesseW anomie: "maintained"? It's a binary. There's nothing to maintain. :-)
04:51 🔗 JesseW I presume there exist FOSS implementations of Basic, some of which are likely still actively maintained...
04:52 🔗 anomie JesseW: Of course there are. http://www.freebasic.net/
04:53 🔗 anomie That being said, basic is much too verbose for my taste.
04:55 🔗 JesseW anomie: yeah, it is that. But it was my first language, so I'm just all the nostalgic.
04:55 🔗 anomie Yup.
04:56 🔗 anomie There's also kbasic. http://www.kbasic.org/
