my bot is not responding :(

ahwww

@Cavil

@ChatBotJohnCavil ^^

maybe it's dinner time for the bot haha

he's on his way back; I had to restart him

when using PhantomJS you can't rely on it

mhm I'm going to grab a coffee, come and join me xD

!! s/c#/Vala/

@allquixotic !! s/Vala/Vala/ (source)

..........

it's replacing in my previous replace statement -____-

!!s/c# code/Vala code/

@allquixotic I'm in C-readin mode, readin Vala code, now you see how wrong it can go xd (source)

there!

back with my coffee :P

@ChatBotJohnCavil show your beautifull naked insides!

xD

github.com/allquixotic/SO-ChatBot & github.com/allquixotic/so-chatbot-driver

former is a fork of /Zirak/...; latter is my own work

^.^

ever worked on multiplayer games? :P

I have, in fact; but the only one where I did any serious work was on a closed source project that we licensed from the original devs who had shut down their service

so that's in a private bitbucket repo

Mind telling the name of the game?

I'll check the credits >:)

to give you a taste of what it was like; there was a 2,000 line switch statement that basically translated inbound packet data (on the client-side) into Win32 window messages, internal state updates, sending packets back on the outbound queue, draw commands to DirectDraw, and x86 assembler that I still have no idea what it does

poor you xD

not in the credits of the original game since I had nothing to do with that, and I'm no longer involved in the 'revival' of the game

2K line switch.. some design decisions are seriouslsy off

I know, it was awful

they drew their GUI with CreateWindowEx and blitting of some on-disk bitmaps onto the screen lol

sounds bad, though I myself have almost no experience in the graphiucakl side of C++

it's completely another world

this is Doom 1 style "2.5d" rendering with sprites

ah :P

well Qt GUIs are fairly easy in C++

but Qt didn't exist, or was proprietary at best, at the time of original dev

I don't think it existed

yeah I know, but I don't feel like redistributing 100MB's of dll's for a 300kb app xd

I thought they were trying to come up with smaller libs for Qt if you don't need the entire kitchen sink

maybe they have, but I was so shocked by it that I just drew a big line though 'QT' and never touch it again

though boost was somehting in the beginning I wouldn't touch too, but then I was a complete noobie, now I use it in almost every project

you can certainly build your own versions of the libs and supply 100 build flags, like --without-sqlite --without-postgresql --without-mysql --without-firefox --without-windows --without-office --without-nuclear-reactor-code --without-kitchen-sink --without-'fun'-bloat --without-holodeck ...

like that's productive xD

too bad there's no --with-only-the-shit-i-need

at this point if someone were to introduce it it would start a revolution

i wonder how big Qt is when compiled with emscripten

So... forgot the password to my ReadyNAS last night. That was mildly frightening!

@allquixotic it was in that output somewhere

> Command line used: /root/iozone3_430/src/current/iozone -O -s 100g -r 4k -r 128k -r 4m -b /root/results.xls

You can drop the b, that just dumps to an Excel xls

(and dumps a different format to screen, but the part I pasted is near the beginning and should happen without that param)

Better to create a new dataset to test on

I used a compressed one. I'll probably re-test with an uncompressed one soon

@allquixotic so hard to get a job without school tho.
