fenn"you never know when a mutant zombie horde will take over the world and you're the last man standing, but at least you'll have your trusty machine gun"05:03

* kanzure used to be obsessed with magnetic optical trap designs07:04
QuantumGthat's the cool thing.. Protonium is a "natural" anti-matter trap07:05

kanzureeventually it would be nice to writeup how package managers would be a good alternative to the patent system07:47
kanzureno, the peer-to-patent paper I mean07:47
QuantumG"Bad Facts Make Good Law: The Jacobsen Case and Open Source"07:47
QuantumGmy summary: The EFF are a bunch of hypocrites and it seems that if you ever get sued for violating the GPL or some other open source license you should demand that the judge not give injunctive relief until the plaintiff shows fiscal harm.07:49

fennwhat's so "anime" about this?08:09
kanzureisn't this a dub of an anime song?08:09
kanzurewell now it just sucks08:10
fenn"As an alternative to just posting a big list of links every time someone has a question, have you considered including a quick summary, in your own words, of what is useful about a particular paper?"08:17
fenni suspect the problem there is that you have no idea what the paper actually says08:17
fennbut the url sure looked promising08:17
kanzurein which case?08:21
kanzureurls are usually shit and don't say anything anyway when it comes to papers on the net08:21

fennand clone the old one10:05
kanzureokay10:05
kanzurehow do I do that?10:06
kanzuregit clone makes a directory 10:06
kanzuredo I just move all of the contents into the parent dir then if I'm in djangit/10:06
kanzure?10:06
fennuh, yes10:07
kanzureso, should I use sed to replace all previous instances of the word 'pydjangitwiki' with 'djangit'? there's probably something in the .git/ folder too10:08
fennanything in .git shouldnt matter10:09
kanzureokay.10:09
genehackerkanzure you know that protein purification thing?10:10
kanzureyes10:11
genehackerwell  I think it's something that's achievable with shrinky dink microfluidics10:11
genehackerSU-8 photolithography shouldn't be that hard10:11
ybitgenehacker: shrinky dink microfluidics? :P10:11
kanzurehow would you do it?10:11
ybitbtw, taqman, how much does it cost?10:11
kanzureybit: surely you know about that10:11
ybitno i don't [kanzure]10:12
kanzuregenehacker: what mask would you use  for SU-8 photolithography?10:12
genehackera transparency sheet10:12
ybiti'm guessing the reason for purifying taq is so you can make it yourself without having to pay outrageous fees for it?10:13
genehackerexactly10:13
ybitso what's its cost?10:13
genehackerand also if they ever try to regulate us into oblivion they won't be able to10:13
kanzuregenehacker: how would you print the fine detail you need on the transparency sheet?10:13
ybitlink to the shrinky dinky thingy10:13
ybit?10:13
kanzureybit: it's on the servers10:13
ybitwith a title similar to that? :P10:13
kanzureybit: it uses 'shrinky dink' in the paper file name10:13
kanzureyes10:13

kanzuregenehacker: I guess. the features were about 150 microns at the smallest10:16
kanzuresothat's about the width of human hair10:16
kanzurewhich can be patterned in sharpie ink on a transparency slide10:16
genehacker0.15 millimeters10:17
kanzure(the 150 micron features were just straight channels or something)10:17
kanzurehuman hair is about 18 to 180 microns in diameter10:17
genehackerGUESS WHAT?10:17

ybitkanzure: didn't you see you don't filter your emails?10:21
kanzurewhat?10:21
kanzuremailing lists are tagged, if that's what you mean10:21
kanzuresome mailing lists do not go directly to the inbox, which is largely dependent on whether or not I have unfinished business with them or unfinished interests10:22
ybitwhen this gentoo system is installed, i'm going to be trying various email clients. i like the idea of labels from gmail but it gets difficult to read the title of the email to see if it's interesting when it has labels covering the entire screen, e.g.: diyh+, bodyhacking, diybio, OM, postbiota, etc.10:23
kanzuresure10:23
kanzureI used to use kmail. I don't know if I recommend it or not.10:23
kanzureI think fenn uses pine or something10:23
kanzuremutt maybe?10:23
fennpine10:23
ybiti have all the mailing list not going to the inbox and i just cick the labels which i'm interested in10:23
fennmutt is better10:23
ybitpine aye10:23
ybitmutt, right, those are def. in the plans to try10:24
kanzureokay, your wish has been carried out10:24

* fenn is wonder how to fit "separation processes" into his taxonomy11:01
kanzureis separation a method of manufacturing?11:01
kanzurealso, the people at sciencemadness.org totally ripped me a new one :) they had a lot of helpful suggestions. for instance, dehumidification was not in the list.11:01
fenndehumidification isnt a separation process11:01
kanzurealso HLPC and IEC (ion exchange chromatography) wasn't on the list, which was just negligence on my part11:01
kanzureer. they claimed it was.11:02
fennwell any ontology is somewhat arbitrary11:02
fenn* Drying - removing liquid from a solid by vaporising it 11:02
fennseems like there's a lot of redundancy here11:03
fennhuh11:04
fenn"Elutriation, also known as air classification, is a process for separating lighter particles from heavier ones using a vertically-directed stream of gas or liquid (usually upwards)."11:04
fennhow is that different from winnowing?11:04
kanzuretodo: figure out how to set up the svn repo on adl.serveftp.org with CIA11:05
fenn"suitability of purification techniques for the Three Phase  Purification Strategy: - a rewrite of a section that I did so that the data is in YAML. Have fun."11:06
fennwhere's that?11:07
kanzuredo you have notes.txt up?11:07

fennok i see it11:07
kanzuresearch for "suitability of purification techniques for the Three Phase Purification Strategy:"11:07
kanzuresorry for not making a separate file11:07
kanzureit sucks anyway11:07
fennyeh i was sort of hoping you had already yamlified that list of processes11:08
kanzurewell there's a few there11:08
kanzurebut it's not really in the way that you want it. it's more meant for figuring out specifically purification sequences.11:08
kanzureum brain fart, can you help me figure out how to debug this problem with djangit?11:10
kanzureI'm not sure which view is being called by11:10
kanzureis the only way to fix this to add print statements to each of the views, and see which one is being called?11:10
fenn"which view is being called by" what?11:11
kanzuremy test11:11
kanzureit's supposed to be calling the view method in views.py11:12

kanzurehm that's not good :) the_filename is in / and not in the-folder-name11:12
kanzurenot sure why find_files() would be so confused11:13
kanzure(line 344 I think). ok. nevermind.11:14
kanzureoh. this was something before I wrote the find_file method. I should be using find_file here. got it.11:16
kanzureargh. why doesn't git-python have its own tree traversal algorithm. this is stupid.11:49
fenn"you're doin it wrong"11:50
kanzureno, sorry, there's actually no way to supply git-python a path to something in the repo that you want11:50
kanzureyou have to manually traverse the tree yourself11:50
kanzureby that I mean, get the tree object for a sub-folder, and the tree objects within that, etc.11:50

kanzurewhat's wrong with it?12:34

fennthere's like five pages of this SOURCE_FILENAME TARGET_FILENAME WXDISPLAY_BASE_FILENAME crap12:38
kanzureshould we just write our own build scripts?12:39

kanzureand then all of the other unit tests pass at the same time too14:21

fennwhat's the rationale behind test_pop_path?14:44
kanzurewanted to make sure I was doing pop_path correctly14:44
kanzureit's not a view, but it is relevant to seeing if my tools work or not14:44
fennshouldnt it be "/super/star" instead?14:44
kanzureshouldnt what be that?14:45
kanzureline number?14:45
fennthe result of pop_path14:45
fenn18514:45
kanzurethat's pop_path_rev that yhou are thinking of14:45
kanzuresee line 22 and line 33 in wiki/views.py14:46
fenni dont know what functions you've defined, but generally you pop off the top of the list not the bottom14:46
kanzurehow big of a deal is this14:47
kanzureshould I fix this? I mean, right now the code works14:47
kanzureexcept obviously that one test that I am not sure about14:47
ybitp/opensourcemedicine/web/project-ideas14:47
kanzureI don't even know if that test should be made to pass or not14:47
kanzureybit: ?14:47
ybithttp://groups.google.se/group/opensourcemedicine/web/project-ideas14:48
fennoh, well pop_path fails anyway14:48
fennso you might as well fix it.. but really i dont see why the function exists in the first place14:48
kanzurenot the first test for pop_path14:48
kanzureit exists for use in some other functions14:48
kanzurefor figuring out the correct path for getting files, etc.14:48
kanzurelike [Blike in children()14:48
kanzureand in view()14:49
fennsome of this is kinda hard to understand14:51
kanzureanything in particular14:52
fenncheck = cur_tree.__dict__["_contents"].has_key(pop_path_rev(copy.copy(path)))14:52
fenncheckthing = pop_path_rev(copy.copy(path))14:52
fenn if check and not name == checkthing:14:52
kanzureokay, the code I just committed14:52
fennpop_path has side effects (that's probably bad)14:52
kanzurewhat?14:53
* ybit is off to do a robot's job14:53
kanzurewhat side effects?14:53
fennit modifies the variable, that's why you have the copy.copy(path)14:53
fennright?14:53
kanzureoh, right14:53
fennbetter to just do that in the function14:53
kanzureok, I agree14:54
kanzurehm wonder why it's taking so long to push14:54
fennanyway, what is that code supposed to be checking?14:54
CIA-73djangit: kanzure master * r464db70 / wiki/views.py : threw copy.copy() into the functions, removed side effects - http://bit.ly/2HUUv314:55
kanzurewell, in that case, whether or not there is a key that corresponds to the name of the path14:55
fenn"check" "check2" "checkthing" arent exactly self documenting14:55
kanzurebecause you don't want to grab a key that doesn't exist14:55
kanzurethat will be a big no-no14:55
* kanzure comments14:57
fennis this basically a try: foo = somedict[somekey]14:57
kanzureyes14:57

kanzurealthough if anything that will make your namespace all screwy15:26
kanzureI really don't think I've done anything specail on this end.15:27
kanzureare you testing on minsky or davacini?15:27
kanzuredavinci?15:27
fennit bitches about settings as soon as i do anything15:28
fenntesting on minsky15:28
kanzuretry playing aqround with the export statement15:28
kanzuremaybe give it the full path15:28
fennwhat's up with package ke signing on davinci15:30
fennWARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!15:31
kanzureI don't think I've enabled it15:31
kanzureit's something about the latest version of apt or something.. they want signign of packages15:31
kanzure*signing15:31
fennthat's been around forever15:31
fennhuh it works on davinci15:32
kanzurei don't trust minsky any more15:33
kanzurethis is the second ti15:33
kanzureme that something impossible has happened at the lab while I've been away15:33
kanzureand it's all been about minsky15:33
fennhmph15:33
fenni imagine it'd do the same thing on any ubuntu computer15:34
fennok now it works on minsky15:35
kanzurewhat did you do?15:35
fenn<_<15:35
kanzureoh, maybe I am usin tg the latest svn checkout of django?15:35
fenni dont know15:36
kanzurehow could you not know15:36
fennhow do i dosave the buffer to a file?15:37
kanzurecontrol-S? in bpython, rightg?15:37
fennno i mean the scroll back buffer15:37
fennin the shell15:37
kanzurehell if I know15:37
kanzureisn't it emacs or something?15:38
fennbasically it looks to me like i did absolutely nothing and then it worked15:38
fenndjangit.wiki.views.view('huh') gives the same error now15:40
kanzureyou're calling it wrong15:40
kanzureyou have to pass it the HttpRequest object first15:40
fenndavinci gives me a different error15:41
kanzureis it more useful?15:42
fennNoSuchPath /tmp/tmprepo15:42
* kanzure nods15:42
kanzurethat's the test repo15:42
kanzureyou should go make it I guess15:42
kanzurein the tests (the unit tests) it makes that repo for itself15:42
fennoh i thought it made it itself15:42
kanzureI suppose you could do djangit.wiki.views.begin()  if you're lazy15:42
kanzureyeah15:42
kanzure, begin() does that for you15:42
fennright15:43
fennok i give up15:45

kanzureare you still trying to call the view?15:47
fennjust doing import djangit.wiki.views15:48
kanzureI thought it works on davinci?15:48
fenni uncommented the import django.shortcuts and now it breaks again15:48

fennyou should probably move the repo creation stuff into its own .py file15:58
kanzureany ideas on a file naming scheme?16:00
fenn"readme"16:01
kanzure?16:01
fennuh.. well repo creation probably doesnt belong in wiki/ anywhere16:02
* kanzure nods16:02
kanzureare you leaving?:16:02
fennin a bit16:02
kanzureok then. um.16:03
kanzurethere are a few views that I have not written yet because I do not know the correspondikng git command16:03
kanzurein some cases it's just because I'm lazy16:03
kanzurebut if you could, say, help me out there by mentioning what view corresponds to what weird git command sequence, that would be hot16:03
fenni'm still not really sure what this thing does16:04
kanzuredo you remember git-wiki?16:05
fennbut there's a fairly straightforward mapping between most wiki idioms and git commands16:05
fennyes16:05

kanzureSmari: basic terrain types? Do you know about GSI? er, sorry, GIS. geographic information systems18:55
SmariI have worked on GIS systems professionally.18:56
kanzureah, I haven't18:56
kanzurehow is it?18:56
SmariInteresting.18:56
SmariI've done more or less the entire spectrum of the GIS field: from manual plotting of data with GPS/dGPS to echophotographic analysis to satellite analysis to database construction and what have you... the only part of it which I find very boring is the sitting-around-drawing-polylines-in-Microstation bit, which quite thoroughly sucks.18:58
SmariThat said, I'm no geographer, and there's a fuckload I don't know about.18:58
SmariAnd: I hate every single piece of GIS software I've ever come across with a vengeance.18:59
kanzurelast year I was spending some time writing a simple neural network or weighted scoring function to figure out where exactly to harvest algae in Texas18:59
kanzurebased off of GIS datasets18:59
kanzurebut I never did find suitable datasets. they were all in weird formats and pulled from different government websites.18:59
Smariyeah19:00
-!- wrldpc2 [n=benny@pool-74-101-231-62.nycmny.fios.verizon.net] has quit []19:01
Smarithe problem with GIS in general, I think, is that the people who've been doing it have been traditionally not computer savvy, and so they've been getting people who aren't GIS savvy to write cruddy software to solve problems based on very poor specifications.19:01
kanzureal ot of it looks like it's from the 80s19:02
kanzure"polylines" for defining different shapes. heh19:02
kanzureI mean, that's how you'd do it still, but still..19:02
SmariI mean, companies like Bentley that claim to specialize in GIS software have managed to make software that isn't just alarmingly difficult to use, but is also incapable of solving most of the interesting GIS tasks..19:03
Smariyeah19:03
SmariNow, if Google Earth were a) open source, b) had a decent programming interface, say, Python, c) had a decent built-in editor and d) had database bindings with a decent UI, then we'd be dancing.19:04
SmariIt's already plenty good19:04
kanzurethey do have some datasets for google maps, but it's hard to integrate with19:04
kanzureor I've just not been bothering19:04
Smarijust not for what we'd like to do with it19:04
SmariI wrote some software to export datasets from Microstation GIS stuff to Google Earth. It was painful.19:05
SmariAnd still I don't know if it works except in the edge cases I was dealing with.19:05
