00:05:52 <Taneb> Tanebot: df iiisso
00:06:24 <Taneb> I have a bot now, for the first time in a long time
00:06:34 <hppavilion[1]> Quiz: What temperature is twice as hot as 300 Fahrenheit?
00:07:23 <shachaf> Taneb: your cheeky answer has been logged hth
00:07:41 <Taneb> hppavilion[1], Farhenheit measures log_2 heat
00:08:09 <hppavilion[1]> Taneb: Is the fact that I didn't say 'degrees' significant or something?
00:08:22 <Taneb> hppavilion[1], no, I'm talking out my arse
00:08:40 <hppavilion[1]> Taneb: Because the answer is 1059.67 Fahrenheit. hth.
00:08:51 <Taneb> hppavilion[1], explain why
00:08:59 <Taneb> myname, nah, just something I made
00:09:21 <hppavilion[1]> Taneb: You have to first convert to Rankine (the Fahrenheit equivalent of Celsius's Kelvin) for it to make sense
00:09:33 <shachaf> temperatures go down forever
00:09:37 <shachaf> you gotta pick where to put the 0
00:09:58 <shachaf> see Taneb's comment above hth
00:10:17 <hppavilion[1]> So you convert to Rankine (add 459.67 degrees), THEN multiply by the factor, then convert back by subtracting 459.67
00:10:42 <myname> Taneb didn't say anything about absolute zero?
00:10:54 <boily> can Taneb reach absolute zero?
00:11:08 <hppavilion[1]> You can get arbitrarily close to absolute 0 without ever reaching it
00:11:19 <hppavilion[1]> (Which, truth be told, makes a little sense physically speaking)
00:11:20 <myname> the value of this unit, yeah
00:11:23 <izalove> on linux is there any way to force syncing for any write of a certain process?
00:11:25 <hppavilion[1]> (Otherwise you're incorporating the arbitrary basis for 0 Fahrenheit implicitly)
00:11:39 <myname> but it does not say anything about not having an absolut zero
00:13:02 <hppavilion[1]> Logarithms have a limit at 0 iirc (assuming you don't shift the argument)
00:14:01 <hppavilion[1]> (Also, there's a 180 degree separation between freezing and boiling for water in fahrenheit, so saying 'degrees' makes some sense... if we shift fahrenheit down by 32 degrees (Farenheight), then saying the temperature is pi radians farenheight makes perfect sense- it's just boiling)

00:34:21 <oerjan> <Taneb> hppavilion[1], no, I'm talking out my arse <-- you can argue that entropy is a logarithmic scale, and iirc temperature is its integral over energy. don't know if you can get quite to temperature being logarithmic, though.
00:35:15 <shachaf> the integral of a logarithm is not a logarithm hth
00:36:53 <oerjan> wait, i've got that backwards.
00:39:03 <oerjan> the derivative of entropy is the derivative of energy divided by temperature. unless i remember that too wrong.
00:39:30 <oerjan> * (the derivative of energy) divided by temperature
00:40:07 <oerjan> for entropy given by adding heat, anyway.

00:59:03 <oerjan> yep, it needed capitalization
01:00:03 <oerjan> ybden: it's ok they're mostly around the mapole and you wouldn't want to go too close to that anyway.
01:00:21 <boily> as a Notable Capitalist, I approve.
01:00:34 <HackEgo> A mapole is a thwackamacallit built from maple according to Canadian standards. The army version includes a spork, a corkscrew and a moose whistle. A regulatory mapole measures 6’ by 12 kg, ±0.5 inHg.

01:01:16 <ybden> Excellent. I feel my sanity decreasing already
01:01:25 <ybden> oerjan: thanks for the advice
01:01:55 <ybden> This is a good definition, for something that doesn't exist
01:02:35 <ybden> Did Taneb invent the mapole?

04:48:24 <\oren\> http://www.orenwatson.be/neoletters-16.bdf
04:48:52 <zzo38> You should to add it the link there too
04:50:51 <ybden> I should rewrite my bdf parser in c
04:50:58 <ybden> well, I say 'parser'
04:51:24 <ybden> What I really mean is something which converted a bdf file into a c array for convenient usage
04:52:20 <ybden> You're creating the font in fontforge, not writing the bdf by hand?
04:53:29 <\oren\> yeah. the first housand or so characters were made on a font making web program, however
04:53:58 <\oren\> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/630397/neoletters
04:54:11 <\oren\> but that version is now far far out of date
04:54:46 <ybden> I used fontstruct in the past
04:55:51 <ybden> \oren\: how do you do the red stuff, in a bdf?
04:57:05 <oerjan> @tell b_jonas <wob_jonas> how about sweet corn (maize) on pizza? <-- hm my usual restaurant has a pizza with chicken, pesto and maize. it's quite interesting...
04:57:17 <\oren\> it's red on the web page, not in the actual font
04:58:24 <\oren\> anyway you just name it like uniNNNN and, there's nothing reall special that you do
04:58:44 <ybden> \oren\: how does that work?
04:59:04 <ybden> \oren\: I thought that you'd got part of the font coloured, and some of it not
04:59:19 <\oren\> no, the web page just uses css to make it red
04:59:53 <\oren\> pre > span.m91, :not(span) > span.m91 {color:red;}

07:35:10 <imode> you have an orange oompa loompa that's either playing dumb or legitimately dumb (either way, he gets press)

07:39:23 <imode> we're fanatic about this election year because the press is invested in both parties, and 24 hour news networks get your views regardless of which side you are.

07:42:11 <imode> you might as well be a segregated peoples who hate eachother based on what two corporations tell them.

15:55:29 <izalove> trying to use a frame buffer ioctl on a pts sets errno to ENOTTY
15:56:08 <izalove> wouldn't EINVAL be more appropriate?
15:57:33 <ais523> izalove: ioctl's documentation says that it uses ENOTTY whenever you have a request that could be valid but you do it on the wrong sort of file descriptor
15:57:36 <ais523> so that matches the docs

16:02:35 -!- `^_^v has joined.
16:05:34 <b_jonas> izalove: maybe you're trying to call the ioctl on the wrong side of the pts? as in, the master when you need to call it on the slave, or backwards?
16:05:41 <b_jonas> izalove: or maybe you're using the wrong ioctl number?
16:05:56 <izalove> open("/dev/pts/2", O_RDWR) = 3
16:05:58 <izalove> ioctl(3, FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO, 0x170b090) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
16:06:16 <b_jonas> izalove: what operating system?
16:06:39 <ais523> izalove: the stringisation of ENOTTY looks correct to me
16:06:47 <ais523> I think the only thing you're objecting to is the abbreviation
16:07:03 -!- Cale has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
16:09:06 <b_jonas> izalove: um, what ioctl is that even? I don't see it in http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man4/tty_ioctl.4.html (which should have all the ioctls you can call on a pts in linux), nor in http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man4/console_ioctl.4.html or http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioctl_list.2.html
16:09:26 <b_jonas> is it one of those undocumented things you only find by reading the kernel source code or the source code of kbd or something?
16:09:37 <b_jonas> besides, doesn't FB stand for frame buffer?
16:09:56 <ais523> b_jonas: izalove's calling a frame buffer ioctl on a virtual terminal
16:10:19 <ais523> then complaining that the error code ENOTTY implies that the fd isn't a terminal, but it is
16:10:25 <b_jonas> ah, I see, he did say "trying to use a frame buffer ioctl"
16:11:01 <b_jonas> well http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man4/console_ioctl.4.html says ENOTTY is the right errno code for that
16:12:28 <ais523> I think izalove's just complaining about the name ENOTTY
16:12:42 -!- MoALTz_ has changed nick to MoALTz.
16:14:39 <ais523> that said, I was reading the list of errno codes
16:14:45 <ais523> some are really obscure, aren't defined in the docs
16:14:58 <ais523> and when grepping the Linux kernel for uses of them, it becomes clear that the kernel devs aren't sure what they're for either
16:15:28 <b_jonas> I get EINVAL from trying to call GIO_FONT on a pts though
16:15:45 <ais523> izalove: out of interest, /why/ were you trying to use a framebuffer ioctl on a VT?
16:16:40 <b_jonas> ais523: well, there's a disclaimer in http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man4/console_ioctl.4.html saying "Warning: Do not regard this man page as documentation of the Linux console ioctls. This is provided for the curious only, as an \
16:17:01 <b_jonas> alternative to reading the source. Ioctl's are undocumented Linux internals, liable to be changed without warning. (And indeed, this page more or less describes the situation as of kernel version 1.1.94; there are many minor and not-so-minor differences with earlier versions.)"
16:17:09 <ais523> that's pretty much how I found a security exploit in xterm
16:17:12 <b_jonas> it seriously says "1.1.94"
16:17:14 <ais523> I'm waiting for the fix to be released before I disclose what it is
16:17:47 <izalove> all the cool kids use urxvt anyway
16:17:58 <ais523> b_jonas: this is why NH4 has a list of all the uses of version numbers
16:18:01 <ais523> so that I can go around updating them
16:18:14 <b_jonas> ais523: no, that one is probably actually true
16:18:14 <ais523> izalove: I don't normally use xterm
16:18:20 <ais523> but I was writing a terminal test suite

16:20:40 <ais523> fwiw xterm implements more codes than most other terminals do
16:20:46 <ais523> just most of them are really obscure and not very useful
16:21:11 <b_jonas> most of the terminal codes are for compatibility with history
16:22:15 -!- Cale has joined.
16:23:07 <b_jonas> there are a lot of redundant escape codes that come from history, like "\e[10,20H" and "\e[10,20f" are the same in many terminals
16:23:48 <ais523> xterm is the only software-based terminal emulator I'm aware of that aims to emulate specific physical terminals

20:28:50 <ais523> hppavilion[2]: you do know that ssh password prompts don't echo, right?
20:29:01 <ais523> so you wouldn't expect any visible output until you press return
20:29:17 <ais523> this is usual for passwords in UNIXy software

20:30:55 -!- LKoen has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
20:31:12 <ais523> that'd require setting the terminal to raw mode

21:50:49 <wob_jonas> I have a dumb question. I have two directories on the same filesystem, $a and $b. I want to recursively move all files from $a to under $b in the same relative path, creating directories if necessary. However, if a file with the same relative pathname exists under both dirs and they aren't both directories, then those files and their recursive con
21:50:49 <wob_jonas> tents should be left alone with a warning. No file should be copied, this should use rename to move the files.
21:51:03 <wob_jonas> This is on linux. Is there an easy command to do this?
21:53:04 <DHeadshot> If it was Windows, I'd recommend XXCopy, but with Linux, you'll need some form of fancy scrfipt...
21:54:01 <ais523> wob_jonas: if you don't mind GUI programs, that's the default behaviour of Nautilus when you move files
21:54:24 <ais523> there's probably also some combination of options to rsync that does that
21:54:51 <wob_jonas> ais523: I was wondering on rsync, but I don't think it has options for this
21:55:23 <wob_jonas> I can write a script of course, I'm just wondering if there's some easy option I'm missing
21:55:25 <ais523> right, you can set rsync to do it as a copy-and-delete, but probably not a rename
21:55:57 <ais523> mv -n would work if you didn't care about keeping relative path
21:55:59 <wob_jonas> Yes, in this case the tree is rather large in total size, so I'd prefer not to copy
21:56:19 <wob_jonas> I definitely want to keep the relative path
21:56:32 <ais523> right, I was hoping there was such a thing as mv -r but apparently not
21:56:44 <ais523> are there any weird characters in the filenames?
21:56:57 <ais523> you could probably rig up something with find and mv
21:57:45 <ais523> ooh, what about find and rename?
21:58:39 <wob_jonas> weird characters => there are spaces and commas and non-ascii characters.
21:59:09 <ais523> oh, that's not a dealbreaker
21:59:17 <wob_jonas> find might help, or I was thinking maybe shell's recursive globbing could help (either zsh's or modern bash's)
21:59:45 <ais523> huh, find | xargs rename does actually work
21:59:50 <ais523> I thought it wouldn't create directories
21:59:56 <ais523> but it does, it actually renames the entire directory tree
22:00:11 <ais523> then fails to move the files inside the directory tree because there's already a file at the target
22:00:14 <wob_jonas> yes, renaming the directory tree is the best
22:01:10 <ais523> here's the command I'm using to test:
22:01:25 <ais523> find a -print0 | xargs -0 rename 's/^a/b/'
22:01:48 <ais523> how good are your backups
22:01:56 <ais523> (as in, can you recover if something goes horribly wrong?)
22:02:29 <wob_jonas> backups of $a are good, because I just copied it from a slower medum and they're still there, backups of $b aren't recent
22:02:38 <wob_jonas> I've already done the move in this case though
22:02:43 <wob_jonas> I'm asking in case this comes up in the future
22:03:17 <ais523> now I'm wondering what caused the problem; you're basically doing an orelse on directory trees
22:03:19 <wob_jonas> $a had around 30 GB of data, and there were no clashing files between the two, but I wasn't sure of that in advance
22:03:58 -!- DHeadshot has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
22:04:10 <wob_jonas> "what caused the problem" => as in why it wasn't obvious how, or what the use case was?
22:04:13 <ais523> mv --backup would be the more common solution to the "don't lose data if there's a clash" issue
22:06:11 <wob_jonas> I have a directory where I store photos. It has a particular mostly reasonable directory structure to sort the photos by year at first level and location/topic/author at second and sometimes third level. but I only had the new photos in this hard drive, and I just copied 30GB of old photos (in the same structure) from another hard drive
22:06:51 <ais523> oh, I guess the "correct" thing to do would be to rsync the old drive to the new drive directly
22:06:57 <ais523> rather than copy and try to reorganize the copy
22:07:27 <wob_jonas> ais523: but how do I make rsync not overwrite photos if there happens to be a name clash? there probably isn't, or only with identical files, but I wanted to be sure
22:08:28 <ais523> if you try to copy over an existing file, the existing file gets renamed to safety

22:08:51 <ais523> (there are other options that describe how, e.g. you can rename them into a directory specifically for holding rebaned files)
