#ossasepia Logs for 30 Sep 2019

April 20th, 2020
thimbronion: diana_coman: Also is there a specified format for weekly reviews? I have one in draft form here: http://younghands.club/?p=102&preview=true [00:52]
diana_coman: thimbronion: the format is up to you but every Sunday there should be 1. a review of the previous week 2. a plan for the new week [03:35]
diana_coman: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-29-Sep-2019#1004279 - hmmm, so you figured it out the next day but would have kept quiet and not update re deadline nor anything until when exactly? And why? [03:37]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 20:08:59 whaack_travel: diana_coman: yes, i figured out the adapter problem the next day - i discovered my friend-of-friend had brought the same charger that did not have a third prong for ground. [03:37]
whaack_travel: diana_coman: i can't say how long i would have gone without giving an update on connection status and deadline had i not seen the "where's whaack?" question in chan, hopefully i would have given it yesterday anyways. i was out ~all day both Saturday and Sunday and went to bed shortly after i got home. but i should have popped in chan for a second and said that i had a connection and given a deadline update for you to appr [04:47]
whaack_travel: ove, i see it looks suspect saying "i have no power to my comp" and then not updating as soon as i did get power back. [04:47]
whaack_travel: and if i analyze my internal thought process there was an 'oh shit, i failed to my 2nd task by my deadline already, which seemed so simple - all i had to do was lay out my interests -, and my first one just "scraped by" i hope it's alright for it to sit on an indefinite deadline for a bit, although i know that is probably not okay' [04:57]
diana_coman: whaack_travel: aha; and don't do this stupid shit with "if I got this barely right, might as well screw the next"; the opposite should apply "if I barely got away with this, should really do more on the next one" [06:28]
diana_coman: whaack_travel: you know, there's a reason why I had initially set deadlines only for after you are back from the trip; your trouble with 2nd task is more related to your very poor evaluation of both effort required and time available, not as much with the task itself. [06:34]
diana_coman: but I'm always all for giving a man all the rope he needs to hang himself with, if that's his goal, anyways, sure. [06:35]
diana_coman: whaack_travel: moving forward: 1. your new deadline for http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-29-Sep-2019#1004282 is 13th of October; I'd rather you take your time and write it as detailed as it gets since it will do you good anyway. 2.do you still plan to post travel writings while you are there? [06:43]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 20:34:04 whaack_travel: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/ossasepia/2019-09-27#1004110 << my updated deadline for this is 08/10/19. (two days after I leave JP) but i will try to get it out sooner should I get a chunk of downtime. [06:43]
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-27 09:21:42 whaack_travel: greetings from Japan. I am delayed with http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/ossasepia/2019-09-25#1003859 . I have two main problems (1) my laptop battery is about to die. they do not have holes for the 3rd ground plug here, so i have to resolve this issue. (2) I struggled to figure out how to structure my blog post. I came up with 5 main interests and then went into i) history of my involvement with that interest i [06:43]
diana_coman: thimbronion: your blog strips away html tags, ugh; see the known php-version issue + fix [08:03]
diana_coman: shrysr: that analysis v2 seems incomplete/cut out in places, what happened there? [08:14]
diana_coman: jfw: where are you with exposing & doing something (any direction) about those lingering doubts? [08:16]
diana_coman: shrysr, whaack_travel, thimbronion - I've updated the ratings for all of you; you should be able to see them with /msg deedbot !!reputation [10:52]
diana_coman: you can all use feedbot now and I suggest you do use it to subscribe to RSS (posts+comments) at least for younghands.club if for nothing else; feedbot's manual is at http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/081-feedbot-manual.html and you can pm it anyway; commands for it start with !1 eg !1 help [10:54]
diana_coman: it might be still the case that you can self-voice in #trilema as well (until the new voice model is deployed) but I suggest caution re talking there as it's way *less* permissive than talking in here. [10:55]
diana_coman: whaack_travel and thimbronion : logically speaking you should make up your minds and rate me whatever you consider appropriate but since I'm not yet sure you even really get what the WoT is and how it works, this can still wait. [10:57]
thimbronion: diana_coman: thanks for the rating. I notice it says "pagebody." Is that a typo? I'm not complaining either way. [11:27]
diana_coman: thimbronion: it is a typo indeed, sorry. [11:30]
diana_coman: thimbronion: the numbering of weeks is not very helpful by itself really; you can number them if you want to but use also the dates eg week 1 23-29 Sept 2019 [11:54]
diana_coman: thimbronion: will you get to publish today the concrete plan for this week? [11:54]
thimbronion: diana_coman: Ok. Is dates only fine then? [11:54]
diana_coman: thimbronion: dates only works, sure [11:54]
thimbronion: diana_coman: yes re: concrete plan. [11:55]
diana_coman: good [11:55]
shrysr: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-30-Sep-2019#1004300 << iirc was going to add something along the lines of 'I'm not yet as good as I wd like to be', or there is room to improve and forgot to complete the line. The only other issue I see is that the points are not numbered right, lost in export from emacs to WP - both are now updated. [14:22]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 08:14:59 diana_coman: shrysr: that analysis v2 seems incomplete/cut out in places, what happened there? [14:22]
diana_coman: shrysr: ah, ok; then I'll read it if you say it's complete. [14:23]
shrysr: re: http://younghands.club/2019/09/30/week-12-plan-sep-30-oct-6/#comment-35 :- the focus split problem was discussed and also established that job search is urgent. Also mentioned (among other things) were [http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-18-Sep-2019#1003038][plans and [14:33]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-04 17:47:01 shrysr: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/ossasepia/2019-09-04#1001234 << yea. the crisis is averted. However, as we've been discussing, or i've been ranting since yesterday ...focus split (1) (2) (3) is the problem. one sec, i will share a litttle diag to show you example. [14:33]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 13:44:27 diana_coman: shrysr: that sounds like "more urgent", not necessarily "worse", ahem. [14:33]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-18 18:22:32 shrysr: well - as such it is a continuous process sure, but once the baseline profile + company + contact list is established - then its not gonna be terribly time consuming per se is my thought... The point was more that - i push to establish above base - and use the lul period of pre-christmas to work on projects instead, ...continue shooting out apps, but only spend extra time on interesting [14:33]
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-04 17:18:20 diana_coman: shrysr: anyways, meanwhile there's still neither answer to http://younghands.club/2019/09/02/week-7-review/#comment-18 nor the task list ; I gather the mine-work is at least out of crisis but that's about it. [14:33]
shrysr: potential timelines] of crystallizing the skill deficit list and to figure out how to align a project that is useful to me and related to tmsr to begin with; and I thought it was clear that V comes in at the point after establishing the same because it is mandatory for anything related to tmsr. I believe it has been sufficiently explained that getting outta current mine is my primary goal atm, and is [14:33]
shrysr: unfortunately not as simple as shooting out applications due to a change in line and that without the latter and all this groundwork being done - it would be quite different. Also considering: i have not been absent in chan, have done tasks assigned and have been paying attention to the discussions etc - I'm unable to see how 'totally focused on job search and nothing else' is being viewed as 'entirely my [14:33]
shrysr: way' in light of the established urgency; that with the time available - I need to do all I can to get out - at the cost of repetition - so that I can make better time to work with you. And yes fwiw - I am well aware of not being chained by you, though I don't understand the bits of 'worked out so well until now' etc. [14:33]
diana_coman: shrysr: ok; so you'll get to v and anything tmsr-related around Christmas, is this correct? [14:35]
diana_coman: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-30-Sep-2019#1004322 - no, it wasn't clear, because it's a prerequisite if anything and because (by your own words eg http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/19/ossasepia-logs-for-16-Aug-2019#1000227 and http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-18-Sep-2019#1003057) you already did some work on it anyway [14:38]

ossabot: Logged on 2019-08-16 20:44:13 shrysr: I got going with v.py and as mentioned in the task list - i will publish whatever has been done so far so that it can be reviewed more frequently. [14:38]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-18 19:26:25 shrysr: diana_coman: re:V - i'll do it. and no not 'train me for them'... its as you just said - useful for me and tmsr related. useful for me i.e that cover only major skill/proj exp deficits. to illustrate: work with 'large data' on remote sql server and applied text analysis to do XXX. Re: apps now, yes, already sent, and more down the line def. [14:38]
diana_coman: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-30-Sep-2019#1004324 - let me spell it out for you then if you don't understand it: you did precisely and exactly what you wanted and you thought was needed etc until coming here, right? so you have plenty of experience as to how well that works. [14:41]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 14:33:07 shrysr: way' in light of the established urgency; that with the time available - I need to do all I can to get out - at the cost of repetition - so that I can make better time to work with you.

whaack_pura_vida: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/ossasepia/2019-09-30#1004296 << ack and ty for the new due date. yes i still plan to do the travel postings while here, but i haven't done one before so idk how long it will take me. [14:41]

diana_coman: based on that experience, decide if you want to continue doing precisely and exactly what you decide or not. [14:41]
whaack_travel: i did not mean to message from that handle...deleted it from my irc client. anyways, greetings from Seoul [14:43]
diana_coman: whaack_travel: good to hear re travel posts, but hopefully it doesn't take longer than the trip to actually write at least one, lolz [14:44]
diana_coman: shrysr: once you decide re http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-30-Sep-2019#1004336 let me know. [14:45]

whaack_travel: lol [14:48]
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you have coupla min, would like to hear your thoughts re this item. i'd like to fix, but need proper scheme. [14:55]
snsabot: (trilema) 2019-09-28 asciilifeform: 'tape' knob i realized is unusable shortly after cut patch, it needs to be rewritten so as to give 'last N' , rather than using start/end index from the earlier raw-log knob [14:55]
asciilifeform: considered 'fetch by index of all items' but these will differ b/w different installations if they have diff sets of channels being logged. it may in fact be impossible to have global 'tape' knob as contemplated. [14:55]
asciilifeform: can't reliably use timestamps, either, as (already discussed) these are guaranteed to differ substantially. [14:59]
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I didn't yet get to press the new patches and see the thing/readme so I'm not yet sure what are you trying to do there/what's the problem [16:39]
