nmz787kanzure: is it lame to want to call my project openSpectrometer02:50
nmz787rather than Open Spectrometer02:50
kanzureyes, but i wasn't going to bring it up because in the scheme of things i'd rather have a working open source spectrometer02:51
nmz787why don't you like it?02:52
nmz787as far as a title, a logo?02:52
kanzurebecause it doesn't match any other naming conventions02:52
nmz787what naming conventions?02:52
nmz787other spectrometers are called USB 200002:53
nmz787USB200002:53
kanzureother spectrometers are proprietary junk named by monkeys, you shouldn't use those as role models anyway02:53
kanzureBiooo Hazard Elite spectrometer 199x02:53
archelsSpectrOpenMeter02:53
archelswell, maybe not02:54
nmz787ugghh02:55
kanzureanother issue is that i'm not sure what open source license you applied to your work so far02:55
nmz787openSpectrometer seems less formal than Open Spectrometer02:55
kanzureiirc it wasn't something OSI approved but i might be mistaken02:55
nmz787but not crazy weird either02:55
nmz787OSI?02:55
archelsany product whose name includes "2000" has to be made of win, though.02:55
kanzureOSI was a random group that formed to popularize the term "open source"02:55
nmz787ahh02:56
archelskanzure: are they still bickering about the Open Source Hardware logo (the open cog)?02:56
kanzurefun fact: chris petersen from foresight nanotech institute was part of OSI02:56
kanzurearchels: no clue02:56
kanzurethey just got together to define what they wanted open source to mean02:56
kanzureso it's nice to have something to point to02:56
kanzurejuri_ is going to eat my balls for breakfast when she reads this, though (since she prefers the licensing from FSF)02:57
kanzurei can only pray that her lethargy will keep her from reading the backlogs02:57
archelsnot mentioning her name might also help in the future02:58
kanzurei am not a very good strategist at 5am02:58

kanzuretime travel?02:59
nmz787yes02:59
nmz787i can call the future too02:59
nmz787my indian connection03:00

ThomasEgijuri_, i'm done etching and soldering my circuit. now... i could make good use of a printed case ;)04:03
kanzurenmz787: i am strongly opposed to php04:04
kanzurei also suggest not restricting the content to the middle of the page04:05
nmz787php is just for some email function04:06
kanzureyou can host webpages on github on a gh-pages branch btw04:06
nmz787why?04:06
nmz787i mean why would i do that?04:06
kanzurebecause it's a simple way to do version control of a website04:06
kanzurealso, all repositories on diyhpl.us have an ikiwiki instance04:06
kanzureit's just a suggestion, not mission critical at the moment04:07

kanzureyes14:25
kanzuremaybe it's a flat, and i just can't tell yet.14:25

nmz787Urchin[Emacs]: the problem I was having was that some parts were listed as right-side vs left-side15:02
nmz787but i wasn't sure if it was looking at the car from the front (while working in the engine bay), or while sitting in the car15:03

nmz7878.  Understand that synthetic biology is trying to understand the mind of God.  This is also heresy in the biological community as most are darwinists and refuse to acknowledge a creator.  When you realize this it helps you really think outside the box.  For example, understand that nature is using quantum mechanics to select for fitness.  God wrote DNA and setup all the systems that cause life to work.  It is not wasteful or inneficient.  I absolute15:31

kanzure"The biology field and most of the people in the field are not computer scientists and are very shocked to discover that cells are actually hardware (cells) executing programs (dna). "16:05
kanzurehaha.. that's not entirely true though.16:05
nmz787kanzure: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/diybio/ajOF_600gVQ/OC-bfZnoMqgJ16:05
kanzurei mean, that's not how programming works, and it's not how biology works.16:05
kanzure"They are not skilled in the arts of computer science and quickly overwhelmed by these advanced concepts/approaches." pfft.. it's not advanced at all.16:06
kanzure"Keep this in mind when working with them as you are massively disrupting the entire field." what disruption is he talking about.. the concept of software?16:06
nmz787kanzure: well to be fair you had some trouble a week or two ago understanding why I wouldn't wipe windows from my dad's machine and put linux on it16:06
nmz787kanzure: so programming is definitely a valid out-of-paradigm area for a lot of biologists16:07
ephialtes480kanzure: does pdfparanoia, when it remove_object_by_id also update the xref array to reflect the new byte offsets of the remaining objects?16:07
nmz787i think synBio16:07
kanzureyou didn't want to wipe the os because you were angry with me, not because it was a bad idea16:08
kanzureephialtes480: no. i don't think they are byte offsets anyway. i thought they were ids.16:08
nmz787kanzure: wrong, because my dad wouldn't be happy with linux16:08
nmz787kanzure: eleitl even popped in to add regarding that16:09
kanzureah sorry, the dad situation. i meant the spectrometer situation.16:09
kanzurei am somewhat concerned that the email you linked to hasn't arrived in my inbox16:09
nmz787err16:09
nmz787hmm16:09
nmz787kanzure: was that the crisis you mentioned, email space?16:10
kanzurei don't know, i am receiving other emails so i'm tryign to figure out what's going on16:11
kanzurefor whatever it's worth, i think your reply is okay16:11
ephialtes480kanzure: the xref array gives you an id of the object, and then where to find it (they are not in order usually). So looking at the (pre-strapped) PDF, if you:  dd if=my.pdf bs=1 skip=[THE BYTE OFFSET OF THE OBJECT IN XREF ARRAY] 2>/dev/null | less - you will see where the object is. I'm getting some problems with corrupted PDFs and wondering if the post-strip inaccuracy of the "table of contents" that is the xref array at the end might be the16:11
kanzurenmz787: i also like to link to this one,16:12
kanzurehttps://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/diybio/GxRTESzUWUI/X9dro2viFCcJ16:12
kanzureephialtes480: huh, interesting. so far i have just been stripping out objects and everything works fine.16:12
kanzureaha now i have your email16:13
ephialtes480ya, that seems to suggest my theory is wrong. I'm just trying to work out why I'm corrupting everything with a custom single-file version of your script I'm using to reconnoiter PDFs from other databases. Perhaps if I send you the script you can spot where the corruption is arising from? It is 90% your code16:13
nmz787kanzure: yesh that's a good post too16:14
ephialtes480my email?16:14
kanzureephialtes480: nah, nmz787 sent one out https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/diybio/ajOF_600gVQ/OC-bfZnoMqgJ16:14
ephialtes480ah! :)16:15
kanzurenmz787: also, this line is pretty funny :) "Seems like you're ignoring the folks who had the same idea in that  PNAS paper linked via the DIYbio discussion comparing E.coli to linux, as well as Anselm who directly engaged you in that discussion. Seems like you're saying you have secret knowledge that other's in the field don't have, this sounds like the tenure-track professors you complained about."16:15
ephialtes480Well, I'm calling it a night. I put the test script (my first ever script in python, mostly your code though) here: https://anonfiles.com/file/08973f512071958c413725d906ba8044 (it outputs the PDF with target objects stripped but corrupted.

kanzurethese days i see a lot of people recommending gevent16:47
klafka_ah i see16:47
kanzurethe problem with other libraries (not gevent or eventlet) is that they use an entire python instance per thread or coroutine16:47
kanzuregevent does not; it just switches opportunistically between coroutines under a single python instance.16:48
kanzuresomething based on libevent16:48
kanzureor libev. not sure which one.16:48

nmz787BioGuy: hi21:00
nmz787kanzure: do you watch it on linux?21:00
nmz787BioGuy: I post all the time on google groups21:00
nmz787like its my job21:00
nmz787BioGuy: I think I even emailed you personally a few months ago, and never heard back... what's happening?21:01
nmz787BioGuy: I've tried emailing and IRCing with the hackerspace people here, but there isn't much activity21:02
kanzurenmz787: android-x8621:03
kanzureactually that's wrong, it doesn't work on android-x86 because their binaries are compiled for arm i think21:04
@fenni got a kick out of this: "Understand that synthetic biology is trying to understand the mind of God.  This is also heresy in the biological community as most are darwinists and refuse to acknowledge a creator.  When you realize this it helps you really think outside the box.  For example, understand that nature is using quantum mechanics to select for fitness.  God wrote DNA and setup all21:09
@fennthe systems that cause life to work.  It is not wasteful or inneficient.  I absolutely did not believe in junk DNA as was later proved right.  God doesn't make junk and the entire universe is engineered by God to support life.  Understanding this allows you to make discoveries that normal darwinists cannot make as easily in my opinion."21:09

@fennsometimes i wonder if he's doing it intentionally21:10
kanzurei saw him the other day in another channel (phantomjs)21:10
kanzurehe seems to blame all his failure on me :p21:10
BioGuynmz787: Ya, sorry I don't check my email nearly as often as I would like to, but if your still up for trying to find people into DIYbio in the PDX area I'm definitely up for it21:10
BioGuySorry gotta run, lets talk later21:10
klafka_ill be in pdx soonish i think21:11
kanzureklafka_: don't go; if pdx achieves critical mass then there is no way to stop the singularity.21:11
klafka_ haha21:11
klafka_i won't move there21:11
klafka_our company has an office there21:11
klafka_i go every few months21:11
nmz787klafka_: what do you do21:15
nmz787?21:15
nmz787I wonder if there are poor neighborhoods in PDX that could benefit from mesh networks for wifi internet connectivity21:18

nmz787kanzure: didn't you mention you were thinking of cancelling it because of ads?21:20
kanzurenmz787: i'd rather not admit to it21:20
kanzureplease don't make me admit i watch netflix21:20

rigelso anyone here know enough javascript to write a greasemonkey plugin?21:31
kanzuresure, what's up21:31
rigeli was just twittering with carl malamud, who was griping about the us congress's house videos21:32
rigelthey're behind a ustream wall, so you cant download them21:32
kanzurethere are lots of tools to download crap from ustream21:32
rigeli spent a good bit of time over the summer dicking around trying to pull them down programmatically21:32
kanzurei think cclive supports ustream21:33
kanzure.. maybe.21:33
rigelanyway, it's just this one flash/AMF handshake that needs to be gotten around21:34
rigeland i was thinking maybe a plugin a la archiveteam's JSTOR plugin would be in order21:34
rigelthere are a couple of .js AMF packages21:35
rigelall you need to do is get past that handshake and get the direct url21:35
kanzurehttp://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6138421:35
kanzureby coincidence.. paperbot might be capable of downloading videos from ustream already.21:36
rigeli have already spoken with someone from IA about this, they are perfectly happy to host the videos21:36
rigelthey have a whole procedure for bulk uploads21:37
kanzurewe have someone from IA in here21:37
rigelit would be great if it could upload it directly21:37
kanzurealso #archiveteam on efnet i think21:38
rigeloh, i no longer do efnet21:38
klafka_nmz787: data scientist21:38
rigeli mean its fucking congressional video, it needs to be downloadable, not just streamable21:38
rigelover the summer, i think in part because i was able to tell the guy i was working for how to circumvent the download restrictions on a senate video, he was able to highlight testimony from a particular person, put it on youtube, they got pushback about those statements, a few days later they were retracted21:41
rigeldownloading, not just streaming, is fucking KEY21:42
rigelnot retracted, but "clarified" i.e. walked back21:42
* juri_ nods.21:46
juri_that's a worthwhile goal.21:46
rigelso you guys have the brains here21:47
rigeli spent weeks dicking around with the AMF handshake in python21:47
rigeli have some notes i can share but i doubt you'll need them honestly21:47
juri_i'm already way behind, and not making enough money to make ends meet. AND trying to build an aluminium printer.21:48
juri_i are teh smart!21:49
rigelstory of my fucking life brah21:49
rigelnot the aluminum printer part21:49
rigeli have an exam on monday that i am two weeks behind on studying for, and another on tuesday21:49

klafka_interesting22:34
* klafka_ is he must admit pretty happy to have never gone into bioinformatics fully22:38
kanzure"My friend said: Bioinformatics means that computer scientists – who don't know mathematics and don't know biology – are trying to do mathematical biology."22:39
kanzurethat said, there's still a lot of valuable bioinformatics tools i think22:39
klafka_LOL22:39
klafka_to be honest though there is a lot of bullshit here too22:40
klafka_there are fantastic biologists, mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists doing good bioinformatics / comp bio / etc...22:40
klafka_i'd point you towards the work that michael jordan has done in proteins and daphne koller in gene network reconstruction22:41
klafka_or ummm basically most of the broad institute is fucking badass22:41
kanzurethe michael jordan of proteins, you say?22:41
rigelthere was a paper that said bioinformatics was "black magic"22:41
klafka_no he's really the michael jordan of machine learning22:41
rigelwhich was always my feeling22:41
klafka_i think the most cogent points that rant makes are code reproducibility and experiment reproducibility22:42
kanzurei think the work that open-bio.org does is useful (biopython, bioruby, bioperl, biojava) but a little fragmented22:42
klafka_it is very much the case that microarrays are pieces of shit22:42
rigelif you dont know the algorithms or why youre using them (and 99.9% of working biologists havent the faintest fucking clue what a blast search does other than "find a gene") then you're flying blind. garbage in garbage out22:42
kanzure"If you really want to get a feel for how deluted the Bioinformatics community is, look for a job in the field as an outsider. It's not uncommon to see requirements like: "Must be an expert in 18 technologies" "Must have a PHD in Computer Science or Molecular Biology" "Must have 12 years experience and post doctoral training" "Pay: $30,000""22:42
klafka_rigel: there are a lot of people doing comp bio that know a lot of computer science / math22:43
rigelthat's just fine22:43
rigelbut when you're a biologist hoping that the computron machine thinger will magically make your results relevant22:44
rigelwhich is overwhelmingly the case22:44
rigelthen it's still shite22:44
klafka_rigel - well first off they are generally not publishing bioinformatics results in those instances - second the problem of experimental design is not a computational problem but really a statistical problem22:45
rigeli would wager that there are no more than 200 working bench lab biologists in the world who have bout 1) used bioinformatics tools in a paper and 2) examined the assumptions underpinning those computational tools to make sure they were appropriate to the work they were doing22:46
kanzurefar more than 200 for #122:46
klafka_yeah so many more22:46
rigelthousands or tens of thousands for just #1, certainly22:46
klafka_also I'm not totally sure #2 is relevant22:46
klafka_wait are you quoting people or making statements ?22:46
rigelmaking statements22:46
klafka_that you then immediately contradict?22:47
rigels/bout/both22:47
rigeldoes that make more sense now?22:47
rigelsorry22:47
klafka_I would make the argument that bench lab biologists don't generally do that anaylsis and directly use those tools22:48
kanzureflikr is really disappointing for queries like "microbes" "protozoa" "microorganism" :( i guess the results for "microscopy" are okay.22:48
klafka_they typically have bioinformatics students / co-authors22:48
rigelyou'd be wrong then. maybe better funded labs.22:49
klafka_well I mean prove me wrong22:49
rigelwe're both jerking off here then22:49
klafka_anecdotally even in the underfunded bio labs I worked in that was the case22:49
klafka_rigel:  were you involved in biology or bioinformatics from an academic perspective?22:49
rigelthe place i worked we had about 30 PIs and maybe 40 assistants of varying levels22:50
rigelnot a bioinformaticist in the entire place22:50
rigelall mostly small labs, sometimes just the PI22:50
yashgarothwhat academic wetlabs have bioinformatics people just laying around?22:51
klafka_interesting - i've seen that moreso in medical labs22:51
klafka_but anyway I think that a lot of these problems he's describing are really just endemic to academia22:52
klafka_i would lay a lot of the same accusations against computer science as an academic field too22:52
klafka_things like code reproducibility22:53
rigeli think it's just computers, man22:53
rigelthey make people stupid22:53
rigeladd computers to any endeavor and on some level, it makes people stupider22:53
rigelthey think the magic electric box will fix everything22:53
rigelyou see it in industry just as much in academia22:54
klafka_yeah kind of - though i feel people are much more constrained by costs in the real world22:54
klafka_or industry22:54
rigelwell, shitting the bed has much more palpable effects because it's not part of, you know a societal grand bargain to have centers of industry or anything22:55
rigeleven though it is, really, that protection is only afforded the Big Guys22:55
rigelToo Big To Fail22:55
nmz787heh, michael jordan of proteins22:58
