spyked: ohey, just noticed ossabot standing in #spyked, ty diana_coman!
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-08-31#1932832 <-- hm. when I debugged feedbot, 1st thing I checked was how precisely it disconnects; found out that it was the ping-thread consistently calling ircbot-reconnect, which means that it timed out, i.e. [http://coad.thetarpit.org/feedbot/ircbot/c-ircbot.lisp.html#L91][ircbot-handle-pong
ossabot: Logged on 2019-08-31 21:33:22 trinque: btw, spyked did you actually have a theory whereby my irc bot sits doing w/e for so long it doesn't respond to pings in time?
spyked: ] didn't get called in a long time (bot never got to that because it was stuck doing other stuff)
spyked: imo it's worth trying the http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-08-23#1930317 pill; as long as the bot answers to incoming PINGs when they come, it should be fine.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-08-23 05:37:59 spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-22#1930228 <-- until I get proper patches published, here's an idea: 1. abolish "ping-thread" from ircbot; 2. instead, set up a ping handler for the bot, and have it respond with pong; this has the disadvantage that there's no more lag tracking, but it's simpler. proof-of-concept patch: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/LohMF/?raw=true

BingoBoingo: ^ The pretense lasted a full 21 days before they went to to being retarded in the ways they were before. New boss, same as they old boss.
BingoBoingo: And yet the derps protest "But Buenos Aires is so clean! Buenos Aires has a METRO!"; I counter protest they've gutted and crippled every industry they tried to the point all they do is groom each other an ride the metro.
BingoBoingo: If you're going to sell a groom each other economy, the main streets better look clean.
mircea_popescu: fucking ridoinculous.
mircea_popescu: their metro is possibly the worst in the world.
mircea_popescu: belarus even has better.
mircea_popescu: nor is it clean, in any sense. it's so fulla garbage as only india can compare.
BingoBoingo: The Montevideans are just butthurt actually trying to build a metro on in the local basalt would bankrupt anyone.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> nor is it clean, in any sense. it's so fulla garbage as only india can compare. << Uruguay looks filthier than it ought to because the "Banco Provision Social" levies taxes on contructions and building work. Counted among these taxed works is... PAINTING
mircea_popescu: dude, buenos aires is literal waste dump level, 100 debris bits per square meter rustling softly in the wind each night.
mircea_popescu: are you fucking kidding me ? there's no place in europe or the us, or mexico or fucking anywhere nearly as filthy,
mircea_popescu: there's cockroaches roaming free EVERYWHERE in town, the "skyscrapers", the business district, all residential areas,
mircea_popescu: s just filth central.
BingoBoingo: The latinos appear to make their claim off of the area near the obelisk which they conveniently have pictures of.
mircea_popescu: it is not true re area around obelisk. i lived there, for like a year, literally on the block 1 of corrientes, within 50m of the actual obelisk.
mircea_popescu: also have pictures.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: So get ready for the punchline. The ground is NOT in their pictures!
mircea_popescu: the downtown is ~especially~ filthy, at that.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, heh
mircea_popescu: i suppose the air is cleaner than in, say, bogota. on account of all of argentina having less industry than bogota.
BingoBoingo: Montevideo air could be ~20 times cleaner if they's put goddamned exhaust filters on the "Omníbusses"
BingoBoingo: But no, instead they wank that electric busses are coming soon enough
mircea_popescu: why don't they, anyway ?
BingoBoingo: Because the filters would cost something like ~500 USD per bus and the current Fat Forehead cardboard artist regime would rather derp about "all electric any time nao"
mircea_popescu: and then the electricity, they're gonna make on coal fired plants or what.
mircea_popescu: eucalyptus
BingoBoingo: Right now Uruguay's a hyrdro country with some wind wank. There's rivers here. There's no coal though, only basalt. Finns recently committed to pulping the Eucalyptus.
BingoBoingo: Finns also brought a "We're free to walk away from the pulp mill at any time" clause in their development contract.
mircea_popescu: i can imagine why
BingoBoingo: Same reason they's insist on one across the river.
BingoBoingo: Also preliminary inqueries suggest the Argentines looking to escape into Uruguay... aren't asking about Montevideo. Nor are they asking about opportunities in the Interior either...
BingoBoingo: The only place in Uruguay suited to Porteño tastes is PUNTA DEL ESTE!
BingoBoingo: Punta del Este has no industry for 10 and a half months out of the year.
BingoBoingo: Then again probably better they crowd into Punta Del Este than price the Venezolanas out of Centro, Ciudad Vieja, and Tres Cruces in Montevideo.
mircea_popescu: yep. blesfully argentines are self-limiting disease. like bed bugs.
BingoBoingo: And in truly grave signs, Argentina's beef exports are UP. As in fire sale: https://archive.is/MlajJ

billymg: looking forward to when i can get out of the salt mines and dedicate more time to this, especially when the test suite is complete and i can get back to the mass deleting
mircea_popescu: doing pretty well so far.
mircea_popescu: the one cool thing about a complete testing suite is that it'd even allow rewriting into other langs.
mircea_popescu: not that i see the benefit of retargetting to say python or bash ; nor does it seem sensible to do php work in cl. but as a principle.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd like a client that warns when about to frag line ( but can't be currently aroused to try an' patch 'xchat', 'irssi', other horrors )
mircea_popescu: i just want it to frag correctly, treat [][] as a single word, if not fit, put in new line.
asciilifeform: 'xchat' in particular doesn't even prevent word frag
mircea_popescu: from cursory examination this'd require however introducing the notion of wrap, extant clients do not care, split by char.
