| Mon_Ouie | Does someone know how to fix that ? |

| offby1 | bojohan: oooh, slick! |

| offby1 | Mon_Ouie: not me |

| offby1 | I've long suspected that nobody actually gets any value from flymake, but then I'm a cynic |
|---|
| jordanb_ | All of the emacs IDE attemps end up feeling like antlers stapled to a dog's head. |
|---|
| Mon_Ouie | But I'm somehow bored of trying to compile my code three times before getting an executable :P |
|---|
| jordanb_ | We should get an internet douchebag to promote elisp. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | First we need a web framework. |
|---|
| offby1 | Mon_Ouie: I didn't know that one compiled Ruby. |
|---|
| offby1 | I thought it was like Perl or Python -- you just ran it |
|---|
| jordanb_ | The biggest douchebag here is bpalmer, or maybe johnw. |
|---|
| Mon_Ouie | Yup, but I use flymake in C++ too |
|---|
| offby1 | ^-| |

| jordanb_ | Why not make a probe with boots on its struts that has some kind of armature to plant a flag on Mars? |
|---|
| pjb | jordanb_: the whole being programmed in emacs lisp! |
|---|
| jordanb_ | Seems like that would be a much more cost-effective form of "flags and bootprints" space exploration. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | And the probe could even do some real science on the side. |
|---|
| offby1 | thou hast unmanned me, sir |
|---|
| jordanb_ | Did it hurt? |
|---|
| jordanb_ | Heh. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | I just discovered Wadler's Law, a corollary of the bikeshed concept that says that the bulk of a discussion about a language will center on its syntax. |

| jordanb_ | I like it how that Bertrand Meyer guy defined a set of colors that Eiffel code "must" be presented in. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | And now he trolls Wikipedia changing Eiffel examples to match his 'standard'. |
|---|
| dim | hehe |
|---|
| dim | didn't know about that :) |
|---|
| jordanb_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Eiffel_%28programming_language%29 |
|---|
| offby1 | sad, really |
|---|
| offby1 | Life has gotten better in at least one way: most of my clocks now deal automatically with Daylight Savings Time. |
|---|
| offby1 | (Now if only we could _abolish_ DST ...) |
|---|
|
|
| chrisb | offby1: silver lining, that! |
|---|
| jordanb_ | We should abolish standard time. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | I like DST |
|---|
| jordanb_ | It stays light out later. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | Standard time seems like it's an endangered species anyway, they keep on making DST bigger and bigger. |
|---|
| bremner_ | Somebody call Cory Doctorow |
|---|
| e1f | the wikipedia needs a photograph of a jigger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigger_%28bartending%29 |
|---|
| jordanb_ | Go to a bar and order a drink. You'll see one. |
|---|
| Action: offby1 files that next to "bushel" and "peck" |
| jordanb_ | In Australia a jigger usually measures 30ml and 15ml respectively. In Scandinavia and most other parts of Europe that use the metric system, the measures are 20ml and 40ml. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | A typical British "jigger" measures 50ml on the larger side, and 25ml on the smaller side. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | ^-- There's the ole Dunkurk Sprit chap! |
|---|
| jordanb_ | spirit |
|---|
| jordanb_ | The Brits need stronger drinks so they can get drunk faster. |
|---|
| offby1 | do they have more to get drunk about? |
|---|
| rgr | Dunkirk |
|---|
| dim | you mean "Drunk! ik..." |
|---|
| jordanb_ | offby1: The pubs in britian are only open til 7PM so they have to be very efficient if they are to get drunk enough to go hooliganing. |
|---|
| ned | are pubs really only open till 7pm? |
|---|
| dim | 11pm is more like it I think |
|---|
| bremner_ | most people don't go to the bar here until then, and I live in a small conservative town in Canada |
|---|
| offby1 | jordanb_: that can't be right. |
|---|
| hacim | pubs in britian do not close at 7pm |
|---|
| webben | We have 24 hour licencing nowadays. |
|---|
| webben | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4464284.stm |
|---|
| webben | But /pubs/ will typically take last orders at 11pm. |

| thatdavidmiller | hi, am trying to get newsticker working, seems like exactly what I want from the screenshots, but I can't seem to get the feeds to show up in the treeview |
|---|
| jordanb_ | Are you talking about emacs? |
|---|
| thatdavidmiller | It's downloading feeds, but just not displaying them in the treeview |
|---|
| jordanb_ | This is a channel for emacs -- the text editor. |
|---|
| thatdavidmiller | Yeah, I'm in emacs - http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/NewsTicker |
|---|
| thatdavidmiller | newsticker.el first appeared in GNU Emacs version 22." |
|---|
| jordanb_ | They should seriously quit adding stupid random shit to emacs. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | Just because some freshman college student made a half-working plugin that does something lame doesn't mean it needs to be folded into the distribution. |
|---|
| dim | gnus rss support ain't good, that said |
|---|
| offby1 | thatdavidmiller: did you type "M-x newsticker-show-news"? That worked for me |
|---|
| thatdavidmiller | offby1: I |
|---|
| offby1 | thatdavidmiller: J |
|---|
| thatdavidmiller | offby1: I get the three windows, but no feeds shown in the left-hand one. when I try newsticker-plainview The items I'd expect are there, so it's definately wgett'ing fine, just not displaying in the tree |
|---|
| offby1 | hm |
|---|
| offby1 | no idea :-| |
|---|
| offby1 | .oO("oh, _that_ David Miller") |
|---|
| offby1 | Grr, journalists are always talking about hardware "running on" software. |
|---|
| offby1 | that's EXACTLY WRONG |
|---|
| offby1 | grr |
|---|
| Xantoz | journalists don't know shit |
|---|
| Xantoz | today they declared 4chan the official forum of the swedish Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) |
|---|
| shabble | they must know something, even if it's just enough to get it consistently wrong. |
|---|
| shabble | you'd expect them to be accidentally right occasionally otherwise |
|---|
| Xantoz | in the context och some dude on 4chan threatening KTH |
|---|
| Xantoz | s/och/of/ |
|---|
| dim | they should know what it is people want to read |
|---|
| hylje | Xantoz: haha oh wow |
|---|
| Xantoz | seems they've patched it now though, meh |
|---|
| rgr | newsticker is horrible. |
|---|
| rgr | I ende dup using the excellent newbeuter in a screen session. |

| rgr | newsbeuter |
|---|
| offby1 | I just use Google Reader for everything. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | The full documentation for yes is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and yes programs are properly installed at your site, the command |
|---|
| jordanb_ | info coreutils 'yes invocation' |
|---|
| jordanb_ | should give you access to the complete manual. |
|---|
| offby1 | that's just like "hello" too :) |
|---|
| rgr | using the emacs interface to g-reader? |

| offby1 | it's OK, the pilots aren't letting him steer |
|---|
| jordanb_ | If William Shatner was on a plane with me, it wouldn't be the gremlin who was scary. |
|---|
| fledermaus | That would be awesome. |
|---|
| fledermaus | You could get him to do his version of "I'm slim shady" |
|---|
| jordanb_ | By the way, I tried watching a few twilight zone episodes on cbs.com |
|---|
| jordanb_ | But the experiecne was terrible. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | In addition to general flakiness and requireing you to watch commercials during the show (which would cause the player to flip from fullscreen-mode) |
|---|
| jordanb_ | They made you watch a commercial between every *action*. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | Flip to the next show, or try to browse the archives -- you gotta watch a 30 second commerical for every click. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | And also the commercials were way way way louder than the show. |
|---|
| jordanb_ | So now I"m going to get them from the pirate bay. |
