09:07 JBoyer I know not if 'tis donut or doughknot, but even as I do trot I know it best that I do naught.
09:09 kmlussier JBoyer++
09:21 Dyrcona heh.
09:21 Dyrcona Speaking of doughnut...
09:23 Dyrcona When I got breakfast at the local donut shop, they said it was national doughknot day and offered up a freebie. :)
09:25 yboston joined #evergreen
09:26 Dyrcona I took a bavarian cream. :)
09:31 JBoyer Truly, the king of donuts. Icing filled are pretenders to the throne.

10:03 berick dbs++
10:04 berick better than national donut day
10:04 Dyrcona heh
10:07 Dyrcona Oy! Good NVME drives start at $2,000!
10:07 Dyrcona I guess that's outside my current budget. :(
10:08 Dyrcona Just picking up a motherboard/chassis that can support them starts at $9,600.
10:08 csharp @decide new car or new computer
10:08 pinesol_green csharp: go with new computer
10:09 Dyrcona True dat!
10:10 Dyrcona I got to $30,000 without adding the NVME drives. My budget is around $25,000.
10:10 Dyrcona "Dude, you're NOT getting that Dell." ;)
10:10 kmlussier Better than national donut day? berick, that may be a bit of a stretch. ;)
10:11 kmlussier The only thing that would be better than national donut day is national ice cream day.
10:13 berick kmlussier: better yet, 'milky bun' day https://www.foodbeast.com/news/a-mil​ky-bun-is-what-happens-when-a-warm-d​onut-is-stuffed-with-cool-ice-cream/
10:13 kmlussier Oh my!
10:14 Dyrcona Oh, and that price is so far with an alleged $15,000 off.
10:14 mmorgan @decide ice cream or doughnut
10:14 pinesol_green mmorgan: go with doughnut
10:14 berick kmlussier: i trust you'll find space in the EG budget to have those at the conference.
10:14 mmorgan Hmm, I would have gone the other way.
10:15 Dyrcona So much for dreams of ZFS on NVME and blazing performance....
10:15 kmlussier I don't think I'll let my kids know that milky buns exist.
10:15 berick heh
10:15 Dyrcona :)
10:15 jeff "better than notional donut day"
10:23 csharp gplay music's "Jazz for Working" station is just the ticket this morning

11:54 berick why am i not surprised outlook.office.com uses 800M+ RAM for one Chrome tab.
11:57 berick webby hovering between 150 and 200 for me.  similar to gmail.
11:57 JBoyer The charitable explanation is that they try to cache up a bunch of messages to make things zippy. The un-charitable explanation is that it takes a lot of JS to re-implement the Win32 API.
12:09 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:14 Dyrcona JBoyer: Should I be worried? "ComCat Community – we will be updating the ComCat software"
12:17 JBoyer Dyrcona, I assumed because of the way some of those announcements have gone out that all customers get updated at or around the same time. If that's not the case I don't think you should have more trouble than usual so long as you get Dancer in line before your 2.12 upgrade.
12:18 Dyrcona JBoyer: OK. When I read that, I had a "flashback" to you saying some upgrade on the Autographics side caused issues, but I guess that must have been a dream. :)
12:20 JBoyer I think we both upgraded (and we added a lot of new libraries) around the same time, so I didn't know the Dancer problem was the root of it for a while. (They also had issues where they weren't sending LookupUser requests correctly for some libs, but that was something else)
12:23 jeff oh, we had fun with a recent "maintenance" which presumably involved an upgrade.
12:23 jeff you might be remembering that. :-)
12:23 jeff (with regard to NCIP)
12:25 jeff undisclosed and undocumented changes -- at least, they seem undocumented because the current "implementer profiles" are behind a subscription now
12:25 JBoyer I do remember some talk about duplicate messages.
12:26 JBoyer Fortunately we're using a different vendor, not that anyone's NCIP usage is what I'd call enjoyable to work with.
12:37 dbs rebased bug 1681095 to keep it fresh
12:37 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1681095 in Evergreen "Extend browser cache-busting support for all stylesheets, JavaScript, and images in default public catalogue" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1681095
12:50 Dyrcona I missed it earlier, but another, less expensive, Dell model has NVMe.
13:32 Dyrcona Hmm.. Mixed Use, Read Intensive, or Write Intensive SSDs for an Evergreen DB server?
13:37 JBoyer How much RAM?
13:38 JBoyer (i.e. how much reading will they be doing)
13:41 Dyrcona JBoyer: I'd like to get 768GB of RAM, but I may have to drop back to 521GB.
13:42 JBoyer I'd probably aim for Mixed use in that case.
13:42 Dyrcona The current DB server shows 504GB with 500GB used: 484GB in cache, 96MB in buffers, 4.7GB free.
13:43 Dyrcona That's partly why I want to get 768GB.... We're getting close to using it all.
13:43 Dyrcona Also, 84MB of swap used, but I don't worry about such a low number. :)
13:43 Dyrcona JBoywer: Thanks!
13:43 Dyrcona JBoyer, even. :)
13:44 Dyrcona Well, guess I'll do my fourth or fifth code installation on my test vm this week, and I haven't even really started testing it.
13:44 Dyrcona Looks like that won't happen until next week.
13:45 * Dyrcona is getting tired of looking at server specs and selecting options.
13:45 JBoyer Though when I've seen that in the past it was just a controller setting that could be changed whenever, are there really different disks for these types? (I've not dealt with NVMe yet)
13:45 Dyrcona Well, this is for regular SATA SSDs.
13:46 Dyrcona Intel S series, mainly.
13:46 Dyrcona S35xx S36xx and S37xx.
13:46 JBoyer Huh. I didn't realize they tuned them that way.
13:46 * JBoyer is still a spinning rust dinosaur.
13:46 Dyrcona Apparently, they do.
13:48 Dyrcona The NVMe SSDs and Flash don't mention being tuned.
13:48 Dyrcona They are expensive, too. "Cheap" ones start around $2,200.
13:50 Dyrcona Guess I don't have to do the web browser steps again if none of that changed...
13:51 Dyrcona Think I'll just start with make install see what happens. It should call configure again if it has to.
13:53 Dyrcona Well, the new file got installed properly, so looks like all is well.
13:53 Dyrcona or good.
13:57 gmcharlt Dyrcona++
13:58 Dyrcona Did anyone else get an email from HackerEarth to participate in some hackathon?
13:59 JBoyer I guess the rest of us just have to click on the pi symbol on Mozart's Ghost like it's the 90's.
14:00 Dyrcona Well, it looked legit, and I was just curious if anyone else got it, i.e. why did I get one?
14:02 Dyrcona gmcharlt: We had a ticket about the download history just this morning, so I'll use that patron to test.

14:11 abneiman JBoyer++ # investigations :)
14:12 dbs JBoyer++
14:12 Dyrcona I say, JBoyer++
14:12 Dyrcona :)
14:14 JBoyer I like to learn things. :)
14:14 dbs (I'll be totally honest, I really don't want to immerse myself in AngularJS weirdness given Angular 4 has been stable since March)
14:14 dbs so thank you and major karma to everyone who is!
14:16 berick JBoyer: ugh, didn't realize ng-if did that.  thought it was just nested controllers.
14:17 csharp JBoyer++
14:17 JBoyer berick, I got the impression that it might not always have acted that way, I'm not sure now.
14:19 Dyrcona Bleh.....
14:19 JBoyer That's why I called it a "semi-official" best practice too, references to this and other things are spread around on a github wiki, youtube, and prettymuch everywhere except the actual docs themselves. (there's an oblique reference to using "." in model names with a link OUT of the docs to the wiki...)
14:19 yboston JBoyer++
14:19 Dyrcona Trying to find a decent article about the difference between Angular and AngularJS, and so far, it's all a lot of gibberish.
14:20 Dyrcona Most of it apparently written by non-native speakers of English.
14:21 Dyrcona Or did they just drop the JS when they upped the framework version?
14:22 Dyrcona This is why I hate web development.... Always, always the framework du jour.
14:22 JBoyer Dyrcona, I can't say for certain but I think I've gotten the impression it was just a branding change from X.Y to W.Z.
14:22 JBoyer My research done, my week has finally ended. Time to grab another donut on my way out the door.
14:23 Dyrcona "License number X1WZ"
14:23 dbs Dyrcona: they majorly revised the framework from AngularJS (1.x) to Angular (2.x and up)
14:23 dbs pretty much a complete rewrite
14:23 Dyrcona OK. Thanks. I was gleaning that from all the mumbo jumbo.
14:24 dbs angularjs.org vs angular.io
14:24 Dyrcona I think every just assumed you knew that already.
14:24 Dyrcona s/(every)/\1one/
14:24 dbs (doesn't help that they vacillated on the renaming a few times!)
14:24 Dyrcona Uh-huh....Web framework du jour.... :)
14:25 gmcharlt du heure, surely?
14:25 gmcharlt ;)
14:26 Dyrcona Ben... oui! De l'heure....
14:27 Dyrcona Du moment....

15:20 Freddy_Enrique Hi world
15:21 hbrennan joined #evergreen
15:22 kmlussier Freddy_Enrique: Hello!
15:23 Freddy_Enrique Trump is making news these days
15:23 Freddy_Enrique In my country, news normally put in the cover local stuff
15:24 Freddy_Enrique Now he is being mentioned a lot
15:29 jonadab A major politician making the news, what will they think of next?
15:30 kmlussier Yeah, we try not to talk politics too much in here because we like things to be peaceful. :)
15:32 Freddy_Enrique You are right, politics is normally the first one in the list when it comes to death battle. Sorry guys
15:32 jonadab I don't mind discussing abstract political theory, from an historical perspective, but yeah, I don't want to argue current political hot topics.
15:35 kmlussier Yeah, politics and the doughnuts vs. ice cream question. They all have that death battle potential.
15:35 Freddy_Enrique doughnuts vs ice cream what the ..... jajajaja
15:36 hbrennan I'm setting up patron self password reset, and don't really see a reason to require both barcode ID and username to get an email for the reset (since they are one in the same for 99% of our patrons)
15:37 kmlussier I was ready to start fighting pinesol_green today when it picked doughnuts.
15:37 jeff hbrennan: it's an either/or thing, not both. the default templates are very unclear there.
15:37 hbrennan jeff: Oh, ok
15:37 jeff hbrennan: we tweaked ours heavily, but i think we then made those obsolete.
15:37 hbrennan Can I remove the chunk in request-form.tt2 about username?
15:38 hbrennan jeff: This is inspired after your Protecting Patron Privacy session!
15:38 hbrennan Or, I guess I could just change the language to say enter one or the other
15:38 jonadab kmlussier: donuts _and_ ice cream, that one's easy.
15:39 jonadab With hot fudge sauce.
15:39 bshum And some sprinkles
15:39 bshum Don't forget the sprinkles
15:40 hbrennan *sigh* Must be late afternoon on the East Coast... :)
15:40 jeff hbrennan: should be safe to remove the username input, yes. if that doesn't work for some reason i'd fall back to setting it to type="hidden"
15:40 kmlussier hbrennan: We've been talking about doughnuts all day today. It doesn't need to be late afternoon. :)
15:40 hbrennan kmlussier: Ha
15:40 jonadab hbrennan: mid-to-late, but it's late in the week.
15:40 hbrennan kmlussier: Glad I missed most of it, as I still have 2 hours until lunch
15:41 Freddy_Enrique You guys...must really love donuts
15:41 jeff jonadab: hbrennan isn't THAT far West... :-)
15:41 kmlussier It's National Doughnut Day!
15:41 Freddy_Enrique really?
15:42 Dyrcona That's what they said when they gave me a free donut this morning.
15:42 kmlussier Freddy_Enrique: Yes, it's a real thing and it's today. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/w​iki/National_Doughnut_Day
15:46 jeffdavis Offer not valid in Canada, alas.
15:46 jeffdavis OTOH, on our provincial election day last month there was a local donut shop giving free donuts to people who voted...
15:47 Freddy_Enrique hey! good for you. No donuts  here :(
15:50 jvwoolf Hey, is there any interest in a secondary message for the catalog, like an additional maintenance message in a different color?
15:52 jvwoolf We had a need for one in our catalog and I just added it. Just trying to gauge if that would be something useful to contribute to the community.
15:53 Dyrcona jvwoolf: What is the purpose of this secondary message and why a different color?
15:54 jvwoolf Our state delivery service is shutting down for a little while over the summer. Our libraries wanted an easy way to let the patrons know.
15:55 jvwoolf (We're also doing some stuff with holds but that's a different story...)
15:55 Dyrcona I see. We use the normal maintenance notice for our own, and don't usually put up a notice about other service down times.
15:56 Dyrcona I think it could be useful, just the same.
15:56 jvwoolf Dyrcona: Thanks for the feedback. :)
16:37 berick aww, concerto has a patron street address "Cheerful Animal Valley"
16:37 berick so much better than "Spotty Chemical Stravenue"
