[00:38:00] nooo. [00:38:02] lzia [00:38:09] they are in the categorylinks table. [00:38:23] Come baaack [00:46:28] nooo! [00:46:44] they're most easily read from the categorylinks table, yes [00:47:32] * Nettrom was away squashing [00:47:35] and now I gots to go [03:08:54] Ironholds: I sometimes feel like Python is a cult, but it's not half the cult that R is. [03:09:24] NETTROM [03:13:11] harej, R is a cult? [03:13:25] is it? [03:15:00] I mean, you said it was [03:15:05] [03:09:01] Ironholds: I sometimes feel like Python is a cult, but it's not half the cult that R is [03:15:39] I am open to being told otherwise! [03:23:17] I am full of Gaffes and Stupid Words to-night. [03:32:53] harej, I don't think either is a cult [03:33:14] in fact, I've spent a lot of time recently being intensely annoyed at people who try to fanatically proselytize either. [03:34:17] So there are some obsessive people but they aren't defining [03:36:59] well, see https://twitter.com/analyticbridge/status/595357239621222400 [03:37:14] that's a major open source conference. It's not defining, but there are people who want a fight because fights are /interesting/ [03:37:45] I'm currently using Python to compare all the WikiProjects to each other. Not because it's the best tool, though it is a powerful tool, but because it's what I know. [03:38:03] see? exactly [03:38:13] and if I said OMG YOU SHOULD USE R well, one, why do I know your use case better than you? [03:38:21] I don't want to teach myself R and I don't know what a Sass is. [03:38:22] and two, why is it worth dropping everything to learn an entirely new environment? [03:38:33] SASS is...don't. [03:39:18] hell, I was looking into using some number crunching modules for Python... then I thought "too much work" and stuck with good old fashioned set comparisons [03:39:56] and >4.4 million comparisons don't take all that much time! [03:42:25] heh [03:43:55] the number of comparisons is n^2 - n, where n is the number of wikiprojects and task forces being compared [03:44:02] which at the present moment is 2,108 [03:50:26] nice [03:50:31] all possible tuples [16:14:21] well, today got off to a great start [16:14:25] the UK government thinks I owe them money [16:16:51] Goddamn [16:17:06] (they're wrong, but now I have to deal with them) [16:17:19] Indeed. Now you owe them at least time. [16:17:40] exactly [16:47:21] Ironholds: Take out your finest fountain pen, write "Ed Balls" on a sheet of fine parchment, and mail it to Her Majesty's Revenue. [16:47:53] hah [16:49:36] * halfak misses the joke in "Ed Balls" [16:49:58] This guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Balls [16:52:16] yes, the shadow chancellor [16:52:47] he is famous for this tweet: https://twitter.com/edballsmp/status/63623585020915713?lang=en [16:53:17] wut [16:53:24] He wrote a tweet consisting entirely of his name, which is funny by itself, but also his name is Ed Balls. [16:53:28] Come on! What kind of name is that! [16:53:28] * halfak goes to tweet "Aaron Halfaker" and get famous [16:53:38] lol [16:53:53] If you do, Wikimedia DC will favorite it. [16:54:18] Unfortunately, "Aaron Halfaker" is not nearly as funny a name Ed Balls is. [16:54:49] I'm going to go with "Fortunately" for that one. [18:11:43] hey Ironholds, for the Inspire particpations-by-geo report you sent me: did those counts include registered only, or registered + unregistered? [18:11:52] J-Mo, unregistered too [18:11:56] danke [18:12:04] (sorry I haven't got to your email. Hectic morning! Just finishing up a thing and then I will have comments :)) [18:12:15] np. it'll keep. [21:08:52] Can someone throw something at DarTar for me? [21:09:02] * halfak looks through the list.

[21:12:00] :D [21:12:13] halfak: Your life size portrait could do it may be [21:12:17] If he's not at his desk, could you put my cardboard cutout in his chair? [21:12:23] :D [21:12:33] +halfak in a mtg, but will find DarTar for you afterwards [21:12:48] halfak: ha ha he is at his desk. right behind me [21:14:28] Wut.
