asciilifeform: there is not a solution to this, if you will, binomial

asciilifeform: it is in the pig's interest to soak up max caviar

ben_vulpes: in other jslolz i learned today that hyphens are not legal in js var names because not symbolicated on spaces and infix operators
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.

asciilifeform: phf: aha, before the zombies took over.

phf: i still think that's the ideal model of computing, mentat approach
Framedragger: (how else will one try things they always wanted to try)
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-20: [16:40:25] <phf> well, i do posgresql for money, the appeal of tmsr work is that i can do whatever the fuck, and though that means sometimes suboptimal results, there's a lot of merit in trying odd solutions
phf: (i had to tweak a postgresql search lexing phase just few days ago, and fwiw it doesn't givey you "grep" out of the box. you have to do Traditional Text Search approach tokenize,lex,index by weights, etc.)

PeterL: I am running it now into the past
Framedragger: (i.e. i agree, but there are ways to leverage things. but, takes time to do right)
phf: kind of tricky to cache search, since it's very one off. most load on server comes from searching (i mean it's miniscule still, but...), but i looked at analytics and search queries are all over the place. you have n hits from mentions, which ~might~ be worthwhile to cache. (like ascii does !#s foo, and then there's a dozen of hits from random ips and browsers)
phf: db is only worthwhile once you start writing analytics on logs. i've been doing the read directly from znc logs using regex approach for almost a year (actually scratch that i was querying kako's logs over web), and only decided to step it up once i realized i want xref
phf: well, for my own znc it has to do like a bunch of retarded timezone conversions, but at least i sat down and thought them through this time
phf: i'm only querying for what was mentioned in logs ("annotations"), since i didn't want the split to break the xref facility
