15:17.22romanovicOn a related note - anyone know a good git architecture for managing a common codebase (framework, core functionality) with several different kinds of sites built on top?
15:17.26captbrogersYeah, it looks to be a great replacement for CI and Cake, I'm going to giving it a shot
15:17.53romanovicI've been reading a little about git submodules, but don't quite understand them yet
15:18.13tierragit submodules is indeed what you're looking for
15:18.26tierrathink of them like SVN externals
15:18.52romanoviccool.  i'll keep on with them then.
15:21.08romanovictierra: so, my end goal is to have 3 sites, for example, all built on the same codebase, but all individually deployable (don't want to keep all customizations in subdirs of a single project).
15:21.30romanovicso, would you recommend having a git repo for each, but with the shared codebase included as a submodule?
15:21.37tierraexactly
15:21.41romanovicok
15:21.44romanovicmaking more sense now
15:22.09romanovicthanks
15:22.32tierraeach project can even pin a different SHA commit of the shared codebase so they can each be individually upgraded to new versions of the main codebase

15:30.45tierracaptbrogers: view composers is a cool idea
15:33.03captbrogerstierra: Since I worked so long with Front-End, I was happy to see a baked in template system that was similar to what ASP.net has. That was one thing I thought that ASP did really well with and blade seems to be close enough (haven't really put it through a gauntlet)
15:33.15tierranice, also has asset management which both Cake and CI are missing
15:33.31captbrogersYes, that too. I hated having to set up a .htaccess file for assets in CI

15:35.48tierrainteresting... it bundles yet another templating engine, "Blade"
15:35.56captbrogersAnd that's when supernovia walked in
15:36.06tierraI wonder if that can easily be switched out with Twig
15:36.49captbrogersThey offer it as a bundle
15:36.53captbrogershttp://bundles.laravel.com/bundle/twig
15:36.55tierraawesome
15:37.14captbrogersYou go into that app's folder, run the artisan command to install, and that seems to be it. You're switched from Blade to Twig
15:37.52captbrogersWell, looking through the docs, it is more than that. But they offer a step-by-step way of doing it
15:37.57tierrawell, I'm thoroughly impressed

16:23.29Bikerdanromanovic: I manage the base framework for our websites.  I basically treat it as an open source project.
16:24.02Bikerdanromanovic: I am using version numbers (v3.2.3) as branches with minor revisions / bug fixes as tags
16:24.13Bikerdanv3.2.3.14
16:24.45BikerdanThen each project using the framework can point to the version they need.  And it's also easy to diff the individual versions.
16:25.15BikerdanWe have different teams working on different projects that all share the same framework.
16:25.50BikerdanWe frequently need to enhance/modify the framework.  The teams will make mods and send them to me as patches.
16:26.09BikerdanI will review the patches and either send back for issues or apply.
16:26.21BikerdanThat way there is one central person reviewing all of the changes.
16:26.43BikerdanBefore we had this setup, we had people modifying the framework, then another undoing their modification cause it broke something else.
16:26.52BikerdanNobody really knew what was going on.
16:26.59BikerdanThis makes it a lot better.
16:31.13josephscottBikerdan: what happens when you go on vacation?
16:31.29josephscottdo you have a patch pumpkin step in?
16:31.32BikerdanI don't go on vacation.
16:31.37Bikerdan:)
16:31.54BikerdanActually we have someone else here that has the ability to commit to the framework.
16:31.58BikerdanSo it's fine.
16:32.10BikerdanHe would probably have to call to make sure there are no conflicts or what not.
16:32.20josephscottcool
16:32.56josephscottI just remember having nightmares of places that I worked at where they had one person as the bottleneck for all sorts of processes (not just code)
16:34.05josephscottgetting a response of 'oh she is at a conference for a week and then on vacation for 2 weeks' was the yuck, because it meant nothing could even hope to be done for 3 weeks
16:34.39BikerdanYeah.  Makes sense.
16:35.20BikerdanI'm typically the only one that makes enhancements to the framework.  Not always.  But when I'm away, we do have redundancy in that someone else can get things done.

17:11.57influxI'm trying to do a string replace on instances of double-quotes where each instance is a multiple of two (i.e. two double-quotes, four, six, eight, so on)
17:12.18utahconok
17:12.34influxWhat I would like to do is take that instance and cut it in half, so two double quotes ("") would become one, eight would become four, etc.
17:15.00utahconstr_replace('""', '"', $string);
17:15.15utahconHowever, that will catch """ and make it ""
17:15.21utahconso it isn't perfect
17:15.27utahconotherwise you are going to place with regex
17:15.35utahconbut it wouldn't be all that hard either
17:15.44influxI'm just trying to account for the multiples of two.
17:15.52influxso regex sounds like the way to go.
17:16.27influxI guess I'm trying to figure out how to access the match, determine what I need to determine, and then feed the result to the second argument.
17:18.10ninnypantsI would assume that if you wanted to do multiples of 2 you could do something like preg_replace('#"{2}#', '"', $string)
17:19.36utahconninnypants: that makes three """ a "" as well
17:19.38ninnypantsthough I guess that would depend on how you wanted to handle odd numbers
17:19.53influxOdd numbers won't occur, I believe.
17:20.11utahconinflux: I bet they will :D
17:20.16influxThe reason I'm working on this probelm at all is becasue of how Open Office handles quotes in a CSV.
17:20.23influxutahcon: haha. I'm doomed!
17:20.24ninnypants"{2,3}[^"] or something like that might work

19:31.44mgearyhey, i'm trying to see where my current memory allocation is really at
19:31.47ninnypantsmahelious: you should check out the zatab http://zareason.com/shop/zatab.html
19:32.02mgearyi'm looking at my "ps" output, and the numbers don't work
19:32.42mgearythey % numbers add up to maybe 45%, but my stats are: Mem:   2068024k total,  1989444k used,    78580k free,    31660k buffers

19:33.21mgearyi suspect something on the server has a memory leak. Does this appear to be further evidence of that?
19:43.06mgearyfungus: any insights?
19:48.21mgearyhmm. reading more suggests that a memory leak should be apparent in the "ps" output in the form of increasing consumption. What i'm experiencing is that the apparently available memory just shrinks over time.

19:51.04fungusmgeary, look at the rss column in ps
19:51.19fungusthat is the resident (non-swapped) memory usage for a process
19:52.03fungusbut the %mem is just this value expressed as a percent of total mem.
19:52.42mgearycan i easily sort by rss?
19:52.46fungussure

19:55.01mgearywell
19:55.20mgearyis that number not in kbytes?
19:55.45fungusyeah should be kbytes
19:56.11mgearystill seems weird: http://dpaste.com/780911/
19:56.39fungusi don't see much of a problem there
19:56.49fungusyou still have almost half your mem free
19:57.30mgearyi believe there is a leak in the uwsgi+nginx setup on this machine
19:57.53mgearyover time the "used" goes up and up. Eventually uploads to the machine fail. Rebooting seems to fix the problem
19:58.41fungus"used" should go up and up
19:58.52fungus"used" includes buffers and cached
19:59.37mgearyhmm. so is there a better number i should be looking at to get a feel for how much memory is really available at a given time?
19:59.57fungusyes, "used" - "buffers" - "cached"
20:00.10fungusor "free"
20:00.59fungusalso, the VIRT or RES at a per process level
20:01.21fungusIf a process has a memory leak, it's RES or VIRT will increase overtime
20:01.57mgearyhmm. okay
20:02.49fungusIn your paste you will notice that "cached" is up to a gig.  That's not bad, it makes disk reads faster.  But it counts against the used number.
20:03.09mgearyis it a good idea to flush that at times?
20:03.10fungusBut "cached" memory will be given up if "free" drops too low, and a process needs more
20:03.13mgearyis there a way to do that?
20:03.15mgearyaha
20:03.22fungusNope, kernel handles that for you
20:03.28mgearyso free + cached = how much is *really* available
20:03.35fungusyup

20:04.17fungusThough having not enough memory for cache can be bad too,  less caching of disk io, means slower disk io

20:37.10TuxToasterhere we try to keep code around 80 columns
20:37.48TuxToasterI typically don't like { } being on the same line unless it's a quick thing like setting a default value on a variable or something
20:38.30mahelious80? ugh, i cant work with that small of a line
20:38.44TuxToasterromanovic: at least it was automatic
20:38.49TuxToasterinteresting thought
20:39.03maheliousi have my widescreen monitor hung portrait and i still keep columns at 140 without running off the screen
20:39.32TuxToastermahelious: yeah, it can be tight sometimes. macnewbold likes 80 because it's easy to read code in a terminal if needed
20:40.01TuxToasterthough I wouldn't say we are hard set at 80... I don't count columns or anything, I just try to make it reasonable
20:40.47fungusKeeping code close to 80, is part of the Linux Kenel coding style guidelines.
20:41.08fungusIt has lots of other benefits besides fitting on skinny screens
20:41.09maheliousmy team is too loose though...i would prefer we at least had some whitespace conventions.  i use spaces exclusively and my co-worker has a 2 space tab
20:41.35mgearyspaces--
20:41.49mgeary4 space tab FTW

20:42.03funguschapter 2
20:42.36mahelious80 characters max AND an 8 char tab!?
20:43.04fungusYup, keeps each line concise and easy to read/maintain
20:43.12TuxToasteractually 8 char used to be considered a standard tab
20:43.38TuxToasterI've noticed many people prefer 4 now, but years ago a tab == 8 spaces
20:44.03TuxToasterI think different fonts and resolutions changed that
20:44.30maheliousheresy must have hit early.  my first ide was turbo C++ and tabs were 4 spaces oob
20:45.34fungusthe 8 space tab came from typewriter days
20:45.35TuxToastereh, possibly could have been a debate then as well.
20:45.52josephscottI like to keep things around 80 columns, and definitely NOT 8 space tab
20:45.57josephscott4 is good
20:46.17TuxToasterI think that'd annoy everyone in the office quickly

22:09.07josephscottI've been in a lart mood this week
22:20.34jsmith~lart josephscott
22:20.34ibotholds josephscott to the floor and spanks him with a cat-o-nine-tails
22:20.43jsmithjosephscott: Feeling any better now?
22:20.53josephscottnope, still feel like lart'ing
22:20.58josephscott$lart jsmith
22:20.58raifbotburns jsmith to a crisp with a laser.
22:24.09jsmithHey, I didn't say I was in a larting mood :-p
22:26.33influx$lart {jsmith,josephscott}
22:26.33raifbotresizes {jsmith,josephscott}'s terminal to 40x24.

22:26.56josephscott$lart influx
22:26.57raifbotsqueezes influx till influx turns blue like papa smurf.
22:29.52mindjuju_wow, some people have an issue with presenting an ID before voting, have they seen this app? http://www.propublica.org/article/is-your-neighbor-a-democrat-obama-has-an-app-for-that
22:31.23josephscottthat reminds me, need to register as an independent again
22:31.31mindjuju_yup
22:32.08mindjuju_mgeary mentioned that i could hang with the dems as an independant
22:32.09mindjuju_but i didn't wind up going
22:33.43mgearymindjuju_: just between us girls, i registered as a republican a few weeks ago so i could vote in their primary
22:33.59mindjuju_yeah, i remember you mentioning that strategy
22:34.01josephscotthttps://secure.utah.gov/voterreg/index.html
22:34.03mgearyi'll go back to being independent sometime
22:34.14josephscottthat is what I do
22:34.33influxYou're making a mockery of our system.
22:34.35josephscottif I want to vote repub a fill out their form at the poll center, then file back as independent a few weeks later
22:34.50mgearyyep
22:34.58mindjuju_you do what mgeary does or you vote repub in the caucus and switch independant
22:34.59influxlol
22:35.28mgearyinflux: yeah, because congress and the polarized parties SURELY haven't already made a mockery of the system
22:35.44mindjuju_touche
22:35.57mindjuju_but i still think it is dishonest to the intent of the operation
22:36.19mindjuju_like my mom always said, if one kid goes jumping off a cliff, does that mean you have to too?
22:36.22mindjuju_;)
22:36.25mgearywell, living in utah makes being a registered democrat pointless
22:36.33mindjuju_true
22:36.40mgearyit's the only way my voice can be heard
22:36.53mindjuju_because talking to friends and neighbors doesn't work?
22:36.59mindjuju_canvasing is outlawed?
22:37.02josephscottI do it because I don't always vote for just one people in just one party
22:37.14mgearyjosephscott: well, that doesn't have anything to do with your registration
22:37.18josephscotthmm, that didn't come out right
22:37.26mgearyand the dems have an open primary
22:37.56josephscottmy default is independent, but if I want to vote for a repub I can't do that, have to switch
22:38.06josephscottthen I return back to the default position :_)
22:38.08josephscott:-)
22:38.26mgearyright. and given that in most of utah, the republican primary winner is the de facto winner of the general election...
22:39.10josephscottyeah, that is a different issue, macro vs. micro
22:40.00mgearyyes, but your party affiliation only affects which primary you can vote in
22:40.15mindjuju_any way thought, this isn't pick on mgeary day, that's Monday
22:40.56mindjuju_oh well shoot, in that case...!
22:41.30josephscott$lart mgeary until he feels picked on
22:41.30raifbotexplains, ever so gently, that if mgeary until he feels picked on doesn't give the channel more information, they can't help.
22:42.59mindjuju_i need to find out when the cut off is for registering to vote
22:43.09mindjuju_i want to put up a sign in my lawn to remind others
22:45.50mindjuju_wow, this just drips snarky-ness
22:45.51mindjuju_"We have no comment to make on the purchase decision by Silkair. However, Boeing has clearly made an extremely aggressive offer to win this deal in an attempt to catch up with the huge success worldwide of the A320 family," said Airbus spokesman Stefan Schaffrath.
