mafintosh: https://github.com/mafintosh/hyperdrive/pull/92 preserving utimes

juliangruber: nice

mafintosh: totally not sure if this is a good way to solve this :D

feels a bit hackish in the control flow

juliangruber: ok, i'll take a look

juliangruber: do you have any ideas on how to make it non-hackish?

mafintosh: the changes to storage.js are where i'm to must unsure

mafintosh: also i wasn't sure if `start`is always the correct argument to pass as the offset

mafintosh: it also feels weird that storage#open reads the buf for you although in this case you don't need it, you just need to create the file object

juliangruber: good points

juliangruber: i'm gonna refactor all the storage crap into a new module

i think thats the best way to approach it

juliangruber: do you wanna take a stab at an abstract-storage module perhaps?

so we don't have to assume all these methods might not exist

mafintosh: gotcha, will do :)

mafintosh: are we both now going to write abstract storage modules? :P

oh i guess yours is like a multi-storage

mafintosh: what would be a good name? abstract-storage? or rather something like abstract-random-access? also , how will this be different from abstract-chunk-store?

questions over questions

juliangruber: abstract-random-access sounds good to me. diff is variable chunk sizes

and yea mine is a multi storage thing :)

ah, true

ok

the abstract one should just make sure to call ._open before any other methods

and provide stubs for the other methods

lie abstract-leveldown

yea

brb, finding breakfest

mafintosh: abstract-chunk-store doesn't have an index.js?

juliangruber: hmm no i dont think so

i think its mainly test cases

ah ok

mafintosh: https://github.com/mafintosh/random-access-file...

juliangruber: could you add me to abstract-random-access?

mafintosh: done

juliangruber: awesome thanks. just have some minor perf stuff i wanna add

looking great though!

ok, cool!

juliangruber: should i call this module, multi-random-access or multi-storage?

mafintosh: remember my question about, race conditions between hyperdrive and a FS watcher?

mafintosh: I figure you should see/witness what Im doing https://github.com/pfraze/beaker/blob/master/ap...

mafintosh: the first

ogd: hey, are you around to give me a tip on using yoyo?

pfraze: on my phone. but if you ask in #choo you might get another answer

ogd: ok thanks
