08:33:05 <sbp> nsh: yo
08:34:30 <nsh> yo man
08:34:42 <nsh> how be le tings?
08:35:25 <nsh> also, how2b returnings multiline outputs from phenny-ws pls
08:46:51 <nsh> What?!?... What's wrong with this: podhtml += fetchhtml(JSPOD_URI + pod + query) for pod in jspod
08:46:55 <nsh> stupid python, be moar better
08:49:34 <nsh> apparantly: podhtml = ''.join(fetchhtml(JSPOD_URI + pod + query) for pod in jspod)

08:56:05 <sbp> busy writing emails and stuffs
08:56:14 <sbp> or email; it should be a mass noun here
08:56:39 <sbp> I don't know how phenny-ws works, but phenny only uses the first line of any output
08:56:39 <nsh> wrt
08:56:45 <nsh> oh ok
08:56:47 <sbp> because most .o services suck enormous amounts of arse
08:56:58 <sbp> so it wouldn't be a good idea to allow people multiple lines of output
08:57:13 <sbp> so if you want to fold in multiple lines, you'll have to join them with some kind of delimiter or just be creative
08:57:26 <sbp> consider for example how I format .thesaurus:
08:57:30 <sbp> .thesaurus set
08:57:32 <phenny> sbp: established, usual, customary, traditional, conventional, agreed, fixed, regular, arranged, prearranged, normal / inflexible, obstinate, determined, resolute, resolved, rigid, stubborn, unbending, hardheaded, unyielding, set in your ways / ready, prepared, fit, primed, organized, geared up / firm...

13:03:59 <Monty> Thank goodness, JibbyBot is back!
13:04:00 <sbp> with some official looking numbers printed on the back
13:04:10 <sbp> had to fold it up loads of times to get it in the ballot box
13:04:28 <sbp> asked the three polling station people how turnout had been
13:04:39 <sbp> apparently there's been a "steady trickle"
13:05:36 <[bjoern]> yo
13:06:21 <[bjoern]> You mean unicode general category?
13:06:40 <[bjoern]> Use your regex impls special syntax, or join them all from the ucd in a char class?
13:08:47 <sbp> unicode: yeah
13:08:54 <sbp> no special syntax. I did just join them all
13:09:02 <sbp> but I was wondering if there was some easy way of making the ranges
13:09:11 <sbp> I suppose it wouldn't be hard to add it myself
13:09:30 <[bjoern]> I use CPAN's Set::IntSpan and its ilk, that does it automatically
13:09:40 <sbp> ah...
13:09:57 <[bjoern]> (alexander has its own code of course...)
13:11:06 <[bjoern]> if you do not need it to be fast, make a table with a bit for each code point, then iterate over...
13:11:31 <sbp> yeah, I want it to be fast
13:11:38 <sbp> I already tried the iterative method
13:11:48 <sbp> oddly enough, it's only twice as slow as the regexp method
13:12:05 *** MacTed (n=Thud@63.119.36.36) has joined #swhack
13:12:10 <[bjoern]> you also want the assoc fast?
13:12:21 <[bjoern]> like print the cat for each cp?
13:12:36 <sbp> assoc? ah, yes, very probably at some point
13:12:42 <sbp> not right now, but most likely
13:12:51 <sbp> you can do that using named captures in regexp of course
13:13:14 <[bjoern]> my mouse is making vomiting sounds
13:13:30 <sbp> what did you feed it?
13:13:56 <[bjoern]> it did that yesterday, after going through battery repository to find working ones
13:14:43 <[bjoern]> it better not explode, it's only five years old
13:14:52 <[bjoern]> and i only have ten year old replacements
13:15:02 <[bjoern]> serial port mice
13:24:15 <sbp> this one is just about young enough to be a newfangled usb?
13:25:02 <[bjoern]> Wireless. Bought a keyboard + mouse for cheap in the Microsoft store.
13:25:10 <[bjoern]> By cheap I mean didn't cost me anything.
