that premium cold weather foil tape is an icon on the university campus i'm originally hailing from :stuck_out_tongue:
2018-11-22 22:36:19
Rotonen
fun fact, i've hosted a panel show on FM radio a few times where we install gentoo overnight
2018-11-22 22:36:33

Ha

essentially a topical magazine on what's up in the linux kernel and X11 since last year
2018-11-22 22:36:52
Fireduck
Worked a job where we used gentoo
2018-11-22 22:36:56
Rotonen
used to be an annual thing
2018-11-22 22:37:08

Took a few days to have x windows and a browser

gentoo is pretty good for customization, the finnish post office built the package automats on top of that, since the hardware was weird
2018-11-22 22:37:35
Rotonen
i got into gentoo on a pentium 2, yes, KDE took days

gah, spanning is broken in the css

Do I get to veto things that make me irrationally crazy?
2018-11-22 22:43:34
Clueless
potentially, lots of things can be changed

I hate am/pm with the burning fury of one thousand suns

24 hour time
2018-11-22 22:44:20
Clueless
oh, AM/PM isn't supposed to be there, it is 24 hour time
2018-11-22 22:45:20

@Fireduck and if some messages are "missing" it's because they're delivered in the form of "attachments" or files by bots or people
2018-11-22 22:45:21
Fireduck
Ha
2018-11-22 22:45:42
Rotonen
and utc please
2018-11-22 22:45:55
Clueless
fine, that's what I had originally
2018-11-22 22:46:14
Rotonen
bonus points for following any standard for timestamps
2018-11-22 22:48:15

@Rotonen better? ;)
2018-11-22 22:48:56

So get this, as far as I can tell, there's no slack api method to fetch the list of bots you can only figure that list out by fetching all the messages, parsing them as you collect them THEN fetching bots individually in api calls.
2018-11-22 22:49:34
Rotonen
the iso is a bit silly, but at least it's a standard
2018-11-22 22:49:44
Rotonen
personally i usually substitute the T with a space
2018-11-22 22:50:11
Fireduck
I can nit pick a lot of things, let me know if you are there
2018-11-22 22:50:19

go nuts
2018-11-22 22:50:23

I know that sort of input is not helpful if you aren't looking for it
2018-11-22 22:50:30
Fireduck
fixed width font on time
2018-11-22 22:50:39

Left or right justify the usernames, no centering
2018-11-22 22:51:01

more
2018-11-22 22:52:12
Fireduck
need a background color
2018-11-22 22:52:23
Fireduck
just slightly toward lavender
2018-11-22 22:52:49
Fireduck
#f3c7fc maybe
2018-11-22 22:53:04
Rotonen
on color choices, look at the design rationale of the solarized theme, but do not necessarily nick their color choices
2018-11-22 22:53:17

darcula
2018-11-22 22:54:09
Rotonen
i just mean mr. schoonover wrote a good piece of design rationale
2018-11-22 22:55:54
Fireduck
we don't really have a plan thus far
2018-11-22 22:56:29
Fireduck
but this is great, I want to host it on S3/Cloudfront because eventually, hopefully, we are going to get someone laying DDoS eggs in our face
2018-11-22 22:56:37
Fireduck
and I want to be ready if we can do so with minimal cost
2018-11-22 22:58:12
Fireduck
but regardless, this is awesome
2018-11-22 22:58:25
Fireduck
it will be great to have my dumbass remarks indexed by google
2018-11-22 22:58:33
Fireduck
and viewable without joining slack
2018-11-22 22:59:05
Rotonen
sweet revenge?
2018-11-22 23:00:17
Fireduck
Against google? no way.
2018-11-22 23:00:29
Fireduck
I was dumb for staying there so long but it was a great place to work
2018-11-22 23:02:13
Rotonen
i suppose such a corporate ladder would be a brutal climb and not worth the trouble
2018-11-22 23:02:25
Rotonen
one is gonna do better by starting from higher steps elsewhere
2018-11-22 23:04:38
Fireduck
Yeah, the amount of effort to get promoted was certainly not worth it for me
2018-11-22 23:07:55
Rotonen
also life balance is just better at smaller shops which are not aiming for explosive investor yields
2018-11-22 23:08:11
Fireduck
Google was pretty good on that
2018-11-22 23:08:28
Fireduck
At least in the groups I had contact with
2018-11-22 23:08:39
Rotonen
maybe the zürich office is different, but the locals i talk to from there are not something i'd go for
2018-11-22 23:08:41
Fireduck
I was just not doing any interesting engineering myself
2018-11-22 23:08:49
Rotonen
i mostly know people working on google maps
2018-11-22 23:10:08
Rotonen
that product is a bundle of trouble, as they seem to fear apple and it's also tying directly into hardware costs, general performance, software architecture management, the ad sales stack, machine learning endeavours, bad data sources
2018-11-22 23:10:48
Rotonen
i suppose you're still on some not-ever-tried-in-court types of NDAs
2018-11-22 23:14:26
Fireduck
I don't even think I am on any sort of NDA at this point
2018-11-22 23:14:37
Fireduck
Didn't sign shit on exit (why would I)
2018-11-22 23:14:46
Fireduck
and the starting contract wasn't bad
2018-11-22 23:18:37
Rotonen
curious
2018-11-22 23:19:02
Fireduck
however, it was 2013, so maybe I just don't remember my contract?
2018-11-22 23:19:03
Fireduck
heh
2018-11-22 23:19:40
Rotonen
usually there are anti competition clauses and such, but i've mostly signed partner agreements, not job contracts (or, well, i've of course *hired* people, but :P)
2018-11-22 23:19:59
Rotonen
maybe the investors to which i've been exposed skew my frame of thinking there
