| 00:23 | <@Tarinaky> | Oh goodie. I thought I was missing something. |
| 00:23 | <@Reiv> | It's... bitcoin: facebook edition. With nautical terminology for address spaces. Because that makes sense. |
| 00:24 | <@Reiv> | And, of course, immediately makes me think of that 'admiral court' malarkey, which is even better when they describe their address space hierarchy as medieval, and talk about 'if bitcoin is currency, urbit is real estate'... |

| 15:22 | <@Tarinaky> | Ah. |
| 15:22 | <@Tarinaky> | I'm not entirely sure if that's a real word. |
| 15:22 | <@Tarinaky> | Invigilator is though. |
| 15:24 | < ErikMesoy> | I prefer the Norwegian term for that job: Examinator. |
| 15:25 | <@Tarinaky> | The examinator is the one who /marks/ it |
| 15:25 | < ErikMesoy> | That's the censor up here. |
| 15:26 | < ErikMesoy> | And the marking is called the censure. |
| 15:26 | <@Tarinaky> | The censor is the one who reads your postcards from the front-lines back to your bird and blacks out anything that might [REDACTED] |

| 15:28 | < Ogredude> | Hah. Censors. Those [REDACTED] and their [REDACTED] with the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. That's what I have to say about that. |
| 15:28 | < Ogredude> | The word I've always heard for "the guy who monitors the test-taking" is "proctor" |
| 15:29 | <@Tarinaky> | Isn't he the one who checks your butt for cancer? |
| 15:29 | < Ogredude> | that's the proctologist |
| 15:30 | < Ogredude> | one's an asshole doctor, the other's just an asshole |
| 15:30 | <@Tarinaky> | If you're a medical student one's an asshole doctor and the other's an asshole-doctor. |
| 15:31 | < Ogredude> | good point |
| 15:41 | < RichyB> | Possibly the highest compliment that I can think of for a development tool: I have set "alias v=vagrant" in ~/.bashrc because it is so bloody useful as to be worth giving a 1-character alias for. |
| 15:41 | < RichyB> | Tarinaky, petrol biscuit lorry pram aeroplane bloke chap pub. |
| 15:42 | <@Tarinaky> | I'd be a little reticent to use a single character alias but then... vag would be an unfortunate shortening. |
| 15:42 | < ErikMesoy> | vr, for vague rant? |
| 15:43 | < Ogredude> | heh |
| 15:43 | <@Tarinaky> | RichyB: Nah, airplane is far more common than aeroplane. |
| 15:43 | < Ogredude> | my aliases include :e <filename> to vim something |
| 15:43 | < RichyB> | Indeed. My list was simply running a little short. |
| 15:44 | <@Tarinaky> | RichyB: You forgot 'nappy'. |
| 15:44 | < RichyB> | That's a good one. I have :e bound to "emacsclient -f ~/.bashrc" |
| 15:44 | < RichyB> | ^- picked that up from the Glasgow Haskell REPL, where ":e" means "start $EDITOR on the currently-loaded-for-playing-with file". |
| 15:54 | <@Tarinaky> | Anyway old bean what-what. |

| 17:01 | | * Derakon ponders a UI issue. |
| 17:01 | <&Derakon> | I have a set of 7 different light sources. |
| 17:01 | <&Derakon> | My users are going to want to run illumination patterns with some subset of them. |
| 17:02 | <&Derakon> | E.g. 405nm light on for 30s, then turn it off and turn on the 488nm light for 15s and the 640nm light for 10s, overlapping. |
| 17:02 | <&Derakon> | I have no idea how to set up a clean UI for this kind of situation... |
| 17:02 | < AnnoDomini> | I read nm as mm and thought you were talking about big guns. |
| 17:02 | <&Derakon> | Short of letting them draw a line graph or something, and that would be a major pain. |
| 17:02 | <&Derakon> | 405mm light would not interact with our samples. :) |
| 17:04 | <&Derakon> | I mean I guess I could let them input e.g. "0,30" for 405, "30,15" for 488, and "30,10" for 640 in the above example. |
| 17:04 | <&Derakon> | Where the first number is the activation start time and the second the duration. |
| 17:04 | <&Derakon> | That's really kind of hokey though. |
| 17:04 | <@celticminstrel> | Yeah... |

| 17:07 | < ErikMesoy> | Hmm. |
| 17:10 | < ErikMesoy> | One line for each wavelength. From left to right, each line has: [Clear] button, non-editable textfield of queued times (format: 0-30, 45-50, ...), (600nm) indicator, editable [start] [stop] timefields, [Add timeframe] button. |
| 17:11 | <&Derakon> | I think I understand what you're saying. |
| 17:11 | <&Derakon> | Basically the user would define an interval, then add it to the sequence of intervals that the UI shows. |
| 17:11 | <&Derakon> | That could work. Thanks. |
| 17:11 | < ErikMesoy> | It's bulky, but easy to both input and see what's already set. |
| 17:11 | <&Derakon> | Probably want a "delete last" button as well. |
| 17:12 | < ErikMesoy> | User would write "0" and "20" in the "start" and "stop" fields, then click [Add]. |

| 18:24 | <&Derakon> | This seems like a frivolous use of threading, somehow... |
| 18:25 | <&Derakon> | I have a mapping of light sources to lists of [start, stop] times when they get turned on and off, now. |
| 18:25 | <&Derakon> | I could activate them all in a single execution context, by scanning for the next "event", sleeping until then, and then performing it (whether it be turning a light on or off). |
| 18:25 | <&Derakon> | But instead I just made a thread for each light which can blindly do "sleep until start, enable light, sleep until stop, disable light". |
| 18:46 | <@celticminstrel> | Seems fine to me. >_> |
| 18:56 | < RichyB> | Derakon, that would be an instance of using threads as a way to organise code rather than as a performance hack. Perfectly lovely. |
| 19:12 | | * McMartin reads through an email thread at work, is deeply confused until he realizes that someone was consistently typoing "NetBIOS" as "netbois" |
