02:26 <rjo> i just commited this morning. the code is a few months old.

02:26 <rjo> it's -- like the lda -- from another project.

10:39 <sb0> rjo, why do you prefer nosetests over unittest that python ships with?

14:23 <sb0> has anyone done some research on the fairphone?

14:24 <sb0> there isn't a lot of in-depth information on their website. basically the story what people want to hear. and no one in the project seems to have technical expertise, even though making a phone is a royal pain in the ass as everyone from openmoko here can confirm

14:25 <sb0> I wonder if they are legit, or if it's just marketing bollocks to sell smartphones to the ethically-conscious consumer

14:28 <sb0> if you go to the design information page on their website, it tells you how to 3d-print a case mockup - but 3d printers are incapable of manufacturing any serious part, and a fortiori the fairphone case. it just sounds like jumping on the 3d printing bandwagon to me...

14:29 <sb0> no machining data, no detailed CAD files, no assembly information, etc.

14:31 <sb0> electronics schematics are nowhere to be found

14:47 <sb0> ah, it seems they farmed out a lot of the work to http://www.kwamecorp.com/

15:04 <mumptai> the organizational side of how to achieve and stay true with their ethical goals would be interesting

15:14 <sb0> I suspect their organizational side is: take an existing phone design and mfg process, team up with the original manufacturer, change a couple things, and do a crapload of PR

15:16 <mumptai> yep, feels pr heavy

15:23 <mumptai> i wonder what happens if they are aware of hexafluoride emissions from the fabs producing their chips and displays

17:53 <davidc__> sb0: nosetests just acts as a discovery agent for unittest

17:53 <davidc__> sb0: or can, at least

23:30 <rjo> sb0: i use it for convenience on top of unittest. it finds your non-canonically named tests, does useful stdout suppression if tests succeed etc.
