[01:18:17] bahaha [01:18:20] halfak, guess what? [02:18:31] Ironholds: around? [02:18:38] YuviPanda, I deny everything [02:18:41] yeah, I'm writing a web scraper [02:18:42] wassup [02:20:06] Ironholds: so… is there a thing in UA Parser where I can feed it a UA and it will tell me ‘yeah, probably bot’ and ‘nah, not bot' [02:20:10] at least for the legit ones? [02:20:25] which implementation? [02:20:39] anything, preferably python [02:20:45] well, yeah [02:20:51] the device family will be "Spider" if it's a spider. [02:21:04] aaaah [02:21:05] cool :D [02:21:24] Magnus’s WikiDataQuery tool seems to be getting 100,000 hits a day on the API, so I want to graph that... [02:21:29] into graphite [02:21:31] with logster [02:21:36] this should be a fun christmas project [02:21:45] cool! [02:21:57] I'm spending my christmas day dealing with bot activity too, actually [02:22:02] my christmas eve is spent visualising the IETF [02:22:49] heh, nice [02:23:05] my christmas eve was spent being locked out of the house for 3h [02:23:10] when they say Postel is the god of the internet they ain't fucking around [02:23:17] you know he's been the author on 198 RfCs? [02:23:24] the next most prominent author has written 68. [02:23:38] oh wow [02:23:40] that’s a big gap [02:23:52] yuuup [02:24:27] I spent a few hours learning processing the other day [02:24:29] it was fun [02:24:34] learning processing? ;p [02:24:34] should spend more time over the next week [02:25:21] yeah [02:25:44] creative coding, is the book name, I believe [02:27:51] huh! [02:27:58] Dan got me an awesome book on automata for christmas :D [02:28:24] nice [02:28:52] I'm thinking of building some kind of cellular automata library [02:28:58] the only R one was last updated in August 2013 [02:29:06] heh, nice [02:29:54] so your christmas is API graphing? [02:30:04] I've got some fun Java projects you could work on ;) [02:30:13] fun *and* Java? tch tch :D [02:30:26] I like Java so far! [02:31:14] you also like C++ [02:31:24] also, don’t you live in Massechusets? [02:31:29] (or however that is spelt) [02:31:35] * YuviPanda has been listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvUMV1N7eGM [02:34:31] Ironholds: so I’ll be building a poor man’s kafka / hadoop of sorts, which essentially tails the log files and counts them every minute into graphite or something [02:34:37] purple link [02:34:42] Emufarmers: hahaha :D [02:37:34] I do! What's wrong with me living in MA? [02:37:39] I mean, I have a list of reasons, but. [02:37:46] and yeah, I do like C++. It's a great language. [02:38:00] Java is C++ without the legacy C stupid. C++ is Java but with a proper API in R. [02:38:13] I write Java for production and C++ for really, really fucking fast open-source libs. [02:39:01] Ironholds: no, that song is the only thing I know about MA [02:39:34] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmOmAuhAQbE is MA music! [02:39:56] Ironholds: no, that song is the only thing I know about MAs [02:39:59] err [02:40:00] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvUMV1N7eGMs [02:40:14] stupid keyboard [02:41:29] that's 3 times you've sent it :D [02:41:44] I'd be interested to see what you think of the Bosstones, actually [02:51:55] dagnabit. [02:51:59] The IETF need an API. [02:52:07] evening fhocutt :) [02:52:22] hey, Ironholds [02:52:32] how goes? [02:53:11] goes well! Writing a screen-scraper for IETF RfCs and trying to introduce YuviPanda to ska [02:53:13] yourself? [02:54:50] also goes well! Starting to settle in to a new city. [02:54:59] ooh, where? [02:55:22] Oakland, right now, will probably be somewhere near once I find a less temporary place [02:55:57] cool :D. I have no idea what to recommend because I have no idea what you're into, but the city has a lot of fun stuff. [02:56:13] Just: work out when the Raiders are playing and stay home that day. [02:56:25] that's what it seems like! [02:56:44] and heh, probably [02:57:13] ooh. Wait. [02:57:36] Your API-work: are you generally interested in automata, or was it just a useful project that was around? Because we happen to know the world's only robot ethnographer, and they live in Berkeley. [02:58:02] (To clarify, they are an ethnographer of robots. Although at some point I expect them to build an ethnographer from robots. And then write about it, and what it means for anthropology.) [02:58:47] fascinating! It was mostly a useful project that was around, though. [02:58:52] I like making tools. [02:59:19] ditto! I love the "you know, the thing I hacked together for this is probably generalisable if I clean it up..." realisation. [02:59:37] Most of my spare time in the last couple of months has been packaging stuff I wrote for This One Thing At Work and releasing it. Feels good to give back. [02:59:59] but cool. You'll probably meet Stu at some point anyway because (1) he's a Wikimedian and (2) he's neat. [03:00:38] just: if you see anyone who looks like they have a Van der Graff generator somewhere about that person, that's Stuart. [03:00:43] *their [03:00:49] * fhocutt grins [03:13:33] YuviPanda, no reaction to the Bosstones? Hmph ;p [03:39:17] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B5q-bI1IgAEHyiY.png Jon Postel needs to get out more. [04:52:13] JFYI, I accidentally got us blacklisted by google [04:52:17] so, if something blows up: that. [15:02:37] is there work on the research newsletter? [15:16:39] it's christmas day. so...no. [15:18:55] xmas what's that ? [15:19:48] any how wassup ? [15:20:02] done anything interesting with R lately? [15:20:29] Uhm [15:20:30] * Ironholds thinks [15:20:42] a package for session reconstruction algorithms, a package containing vectorised URL handling tools [15:20:54] ported openssl to R to offer vectorised cryptographic hashing [15:21:06] and this weekend I wrote a web-scraper for IETF RfCs [15:21:07] that's about it [15:21:25] did you port it or wrte a wraper ? [15:21:43] of open ssl [15:22:11] I'm working on a scraper on and off [15:23:13] I thought there was already a signiture library [15:24:20] the latter [15:24:23] and yeah, there's rvest [15:24:49] oop. ANd I just created the world's most dense network graph [15:28:29] Hey Ironholds. [15:28:41] hey halfak [15:28:49] Just packing up my laptop to travel to my sisters. Just thought I'd say "Hi" while I'm here :) [15:29:51] ...and find out the bz2 gets me an order of magnitude of compression over snappy. [15:30:05] neat! [15:32:10] Off I go. Have a good one Ironholds [15:32:17] et al.! [15:32:20] o/ [15:32:51] take care [15:40:05] I think I'm back [15:43:03] session reconstruction is that for tracking user session on wikis etc ? [15:55:28] Ironholds: you've been busy :-) [15:55:48] yeah, although it should be generalisable to any event stream [15:55:56] if you have timestamps and a UUID, good news: you can sessionise. [17:13:59] ello [17:14:11] could anyone provide me a link to the gamification thing in labs? [17:14:33] oh hello Ironholds [17:14:37] good to see you :) [17:16:20] sounds interesting [17:16:31] I'd like to have a look [20:10:39] evening
