Jon
Just found a brand new s7
No lock belongs to Louis
 
@Tyyppi_77 Did you even say anything flaggable.. ?
 
Pip
@MickLH ooh good idea
 
Was it that game "Hatred" where the developers got bad feedback and freaked the shit out lmao?
 
user92578
2:04 PM
@ShaunWild Apparently I did, I'm assuming that your puberty got you to flag one of my messages.
 
@Tyyppi_77 I don't flag messsages ever
 
user92578
Riiight
 
@Tyyppi_77 good luck on the greenlight! You have my vote for sure!!
 
user92578
Well, your puberty did
 
@Tyyppi_77 Lol honestly, I haevn't flagged any messages.
 
user92578
2:04 PM
thanks a lot! all luck that is available will be surely needed
 
:D
 
user92578
@ShaunWild Do you really expect me to believe you?
 
@Tyyppi_77 Probably not, but I am telling the truth. Why would I lie? I'm not afraid of you :P
 
@Tyyppi_77 Yeah. You have no proof so either believe him or get past it.
 
DH.
Start your luck by posting the link everywhere :P
 
2:05 PM
Anyways
 
Pip
Lol DH is right
 
user92578
I will, once I have it setup
 
Pip
Sounds good
 
user92578
That'll happen when I wake up tomorrow
 
I decided to ditch DSA at the last moment to do elliptic curves
 
2:06 PM
I uploaded an instagram photo almost 3 hours ago and it's only gotten 26 likes :/
 
user92578
I got the domain already setup
 
ECDSA signatures are a lot smaller
Though they have only been studied since like the 80s
 
WOOOO
OMG I JUST NOTICED I GOT STARRED
 
(As opposed to prime numbers which have been studied since probably literally forever)
 
Look i'm on the right
 
Pip
2:07 PM
Shaun chill out
 
@Pip I've been dreaming of this moment for WEEKS
WEEKS
 
Pip
dude chill
 
I'm there too and I haven't been here in months
 
@Pip how old are you and where are you from?
 
Pip
Getting a star is literally zero deal
And you don't need to know that
 
2:08 PM
dude chill
 
Chill
 
ladies, freak out
 
Pip
@ShotgunNinja true dat
Speaking of which, what're you up to nerd?
 
Monday morning at work
not much really
Still tinkering with Dead Man's Hand
sometimes
 
@ShotgunNinja are you jealous that it's monday afternoon for me? I get to go home soon ;)
 
2:10 PM
@ShaunWild absolutely not
I will never be jealous of people in other timezones
 
That's racist?
 
@ShotgunNinja Yeah they are either stuck in the past, or can only see the future.
 
DH.
According to GMT I'm 3 hours in the past
 
I'm in the present.
Present master race.
You smelly future and past scrubs
 
I wonder if LoL is still being DDoSed
 
2:14 PM
NA or EUW?
 
It was NA last night
no idea about the others
 
DDOSers are so selfish :/
 
"Riot's at fault for using a crappy service" no, YOU'RE at fault for executing the DDoS attack.
losers
 
Jon
Selfish wtf
 
@Jon how are they not?
@Jon It is a very selfish thing to do.
 
Jon
2:17 PM
What do they have to gain? Unless you have a botnet that you rent out for the purpose of dos attacks what do you have to gain?
 
Ego
 
Satisfaction?
Ego?
 
Jon
That is not selfishness
That is just anarchism
 
Selfishness
noun
Lack of consideration for other people...
It can be both? You can describe how they're acting with more than one word..
Anarchistic Selfish Buffoons.
 
Jon
That would be a great game titel
 
2:21 PM
Hahaha
Dunno if anyone in here would know this, but if I had a client that could receive notifications and a server somewhere, how would the client realize notifications?
Would I have the client ask the server periodically?
 
@ShaunWild Checking periodically is called "polling" and it works but you should try to use a "push" architecture instead
 
Jon
@PearsonArtPhoto thanks for the shout out
 
@ShaunWild The basic premise of push is that you leave a connection open but empty all the time, and just send a packet to the client when they get a notification
 
@MickLH Using web sockets?
 
Using whatever transport
 
2:24 PM
If I have a Java application and a Web server for example
How would I open a connection between the two?
 
With web sockets it becomes even more important because you have to pay for a lot of headers on each message
You should investigate long polling if you have to work inside a stock webserver
 
@Jon I figured I might as well, after all, I did use some of your code.
 
Jon
Long polling sounds like an Olympic event
 
It's sortof a hybrid, you call-in to check, but you also leave the line open as long as it will stay and wait for notification
 
Was wondering how long it'd take someone to notice that;-)
 
2:26 PM
Then when the connection gets closed (out of your control) you just poll again
But every time you poll, you leave it open and wait for push as long as possible
 
@MickLH that's very clever.
 
Jon
Alternative Universe Olympic Games
 
So I send a web request with infinite timeout, then wait?
 
Jon
That would be a great game
 
@ShaunWild No probably not, this probably means a different timeout
 
2:27 PM
What?
 
You want to make the connection quickly, the connection handshake should have a short timeout
Sometimes your handshake packet will get lost in the internet
You don't want to sit around waiting forever when that happens
 
Make it into a sport, like tennis?
 
So let's say I want to get a notification, I do

bla.com/poll.php

Then poll.php will wait around until it has something for me?
 
That's regular push
 
Lol
 
2:30 PM
It should be fine on almost any reasonable connection and software
 
Okay, I'll give it a try when I get round to making my app
I'm gonna make an app :) I had a cool idea
Is there any way you can make iPhone apps in Java and without a mac? lol
 
DH.
No
 
You can pretend you made the app and just skip straight to rewarding yourself?
I think that's as close as you're gonna get?
I wasn't referring to what you said, I was referring to what you meant.
 
By indulging in fudge cakes :)
@MickLH What's your favourite chat- up line?
 
> ;)
 
2:33 PM
LOL
 
Also, I was joking. The joke is that I think mostly we inverse-masturbate about our system designs
 
I program horrible. Systems things I make are horrible.
 
Jon
Lol oculus dropped game locks?
 
oculus has had some sort of locks? That sounds awful.
 
Jon
Yeah look at revive project
 
DH.
2:35 PM
Yup, they wanted to make their games working only on Oculus
 
Jon
It's the same as locking a game to a monitor brand
That is how fucken stupid it is
 
still talks about Dominion mode... they retired that a few months ago
 
omg What about Siege though
I'm so excited
Flash circle
 
I hate always having to be the "that guy" in the situation... But if any VR company plays the "exclusive titles" game then I'm boycotting them.
 
Jon
2:36 PM
Too late now for me
Oculus is dead
 
Did they ever release their thing?
 
Jon
Fuck them. Also fuck their always on always tracking privacy policy
 
DH.
Partially, yes
They were the first to release the Dev Kit
 
Is it ready for gamers?
 
DH.
But to deliver the final version, they are in trouble
They aren't shipping all the orders
 
2:38 PM
People these days are all about the hype and have no substance, I'm pretty much expecting that they don't even have it figured out properly yet
 
Jon
They are currently paying off game companies for rift exclusives
 
But I think I understand though. They are treating it like a console, perceive it as a source of "huge income" So they are treating it like one.
 
Jon
Paying people to lock their game to a monitor brand
 
Yeah all that debt they went into in development lol, that's some huge income
People fucking count their birds before they catch them...
 
Jon
Facebook owns it
That should be enough to convince you
 
2:39 PM
It's disgusting, it makes the world difficult for anybody who considers analytic theories
You can't just say, no look. Math. It will happen.
 
DH.
Don't worry, everybody is moving to HTC Vive
 
If I'm a studio which will go under if my game doesn't sell, and Oculus says "here's enough money so you stay open even if you sell 0 copies, make it an exclusive" it's pretty hard to say no
 
DH.
It's already happening
 
Jon
No shit
It is a gross business practice regardless.
When it's not even a platform
 
@Almo That's fine with me, I'm not necessarily even boycotting the game. I'm definitely boycotting the hardware though.
 
2:40 PM
if one is financially supportive enough to go for extra layer of gaming, then I think HTC Vive will be the to go since price is less of a concern.
 
Jon
It is a fucken monitor
 
DH.
Wait a minute
Weren't you suppose to make GORB Oculus exclusive?
 
I don't have a problem with people saying "I won't buy Oculus and I don't like people making oculus exclusives" it's pretty annoying (them making exclusives)
I just understand why people might make the exclusives :/
 
DH.
I won't buy Oculus because they aren't even shipping pre orders lol
 
Jon
Just let revive port it for you
 
Jon
And by port I mean remove the lock
 
yes some other stuff shows up around 2:00
 
I mean it is only 200 bucks more and you will not only the eyes but also hands with Vive.
 
Jon
And room tracking
 
does oculus require a whole fucking room though?
I can't even consider vive because of the space requirement :/
 
Jon
2:43 PM
It doesn't do room tracking
 
ok so it's a very different product
I'm doing PS VR
 
Jon
A shittier product
They are going for business vr
 
^sounds awful.
 
Jon
Gaming vr is just for sales
It's where it is now
 
sounds like EA. But EA sells well.
 
Jon
2:44 PM
5 years from now business vr will be everywhere
Whoa a woman won a 10k$ court case against ms for forced windows 10 update
 
uh oh, class-action ahoy
 
Are there any alternatives to making money on a free app taht's not advertisements?
 
DH.
IAP
 
There are always ways...
 
I can't use IAP
 
2:53 PM
It's just a matter of how creative you want to get.
 
The app will be used by two people
General public
and businesses
So maybe I cold charge for the business side
 
DH.
Or be like WhatsApp
Make no profit, but sell your company
 
You make the app for contract and sell it to a company?
 
No
I like @DH. 's idea though
IF I make something very popular but non profit
 
It's what a lot of companies do, but it's hard.
 
2:57 PM
A big company may contact me about it
 
VS can't copy all "Find All References" results from the result box to paste elsewhere :(

Q: Find All References list and export it

WencesbcI need to get a list of the references to a specific class (usually inherits) and be able to manage it, I mean, export or simply copy all. The VS Find all References is not usefull as I can not copy the list to elsewhere. Do someone know a trick/tool for that. Thanks

 
I almost poured my drink on my laptop while holding my cup. For an instant my brain activated my innate super human respond speed and then traced the flying fluid then moved my hand holding the cup according to predicted trajectory of the fluid to collect it back into the cup.
I am impressed by what my brain just did. It never does such a miraculous aim when I try to play FPS games though.

lol
Ninja
@BlueBug Maybe if you put your laptop at risk, it would trigger your inner ninja to defend it.
Have you tried playing against a friend and betting your laptops on the game?
 
I think that will surely increase my performance. But I can almost hear my brain "you stupid pile of fat is making another stupid mistake. Do I have to take care of it myself again?"
 
3:05 PM
Liar
 
then he goes "fck this. fck your laptop. I am not gona help you this time."
 
lol well don't piss your brain off
My brain kept saying "Hey! Get up and get water!" the other day and I ignored it and pissed it off
It started beating the shit out of me from the inside of my head
 
wtf
 
Jon
So you shat yourself the other day?
 
Jon
3:15 PM
So you are not into me
 
@Jon No I just eventually couldn't program because of the pain and had to smack my head with ice and cry angrily into late hours of the night trying to sleep lol
 
Jon
Sounds awesome
 
It's kindof awesome, if by awesome you mean the opposite of awesome
 
Jon
Just drink some fucken water next time
 
"I need to rest"-other dudes "screw you. I need to do sit and do this cuz of reasons"-you the reason

Q: Match the circles

andre3wapI have decided to create a game "Match the circles" as a way to get more familiar with android game development. Thus far, I am not using an Engine. I am using android core classes; So I created a custom View + TableLayout to create a grid and used onDraw method to draw my circles on a canvas s...

 
@JoshPetrie anything to be done about bad questions with open bounty?
 
What is he even asking
 
Jon
Man that is a shit question
 
Can someone send me a tutorial for libgdx?
lol
 
Jon
How do I do a game in libgdx is his question
 
3:22 PM
Not exactly
How do I do a pointless lame game in gdx?
 
Jon
Ok he is asking how to draw sprites in a grid in libgdx
 
I think the fundamental concept of his post is the funny part
 
Jon
Basically I'm fucken lazy and ignorant please just show me how to do this
 
"I have decided to do this to get familiar... can you do it for me so I can be familiar already?"
Fucking stop right there buddy. You're doing it wrong.
 
Jon
Hahaha
 
3:24 PM
hohohaha
 
hahehihohuhy!
 
hnnnnngh
 
@NaCl I always do this to my friend's songs... He writes some long consistent melody and I find one point where it has a shift and go "oooo" and isolate that sub-pattern and extrapolate along that shift direction continuously
 
Jon
Commented a piece of my mind
 
//my brain
my /*m*/ind
 
3:29 PM
lol
 
Jon
Out with the old, in with the nucleus
 
@WilliamMariager If C# is life, then C++ is physics.
and if C++ were physics, I think that would mean that C is chemistry
 
Jon
And bitcode is DNA
 
If we downvote stormed that guy down to zero rep, can we start eating away at his bounty?
 
from interview between two guys who work on music together:
“I think if we worked separately on tracks Steve’s would be really, really ultra musical, like a soundtrack, and mine would just probably be a track with no beginning or end. And a 909 and a couple of sound effects with delay. I think sometimes I freak Steve out a bit with my minimal static.”
“Oh, he does,” says Hitchell into his cappuccino.
“He’ll be working on a track,” Modell continues, “And he’ll have it all mixed up in the mixer and I’ll come up to the mixer and take two thirds out.”
“He deletes everything.”
 
3:34 PM
lol I'm always the deleter of the pair
 
Jon
I'm the guy that codes their music software
 
@Jon Oh really? In that case I've sworn to deliver some things to you. Do you need your life for anything?
 
Jon
For GORB
 
Music programs are in the worst position to make the user happy lol. At their peak, you can forget they exist. But on average you're angry at them :P
They never catch a break
 
Jon
3:39 PM
Yeah and people that make music apparently love ridiculous UI
 
It's just like, "FINALLY!! That wave was only 64 terabytes, stupid slow ass program."
 
Jon
So stupid. Can't it parse 64tb instantly
 
And then you input data from your keyboard over a 30 year old protocol, assuming that the keyboard running the 30 year old protocol is definitely not the problem, and demand extremely complicated mathematics evaluated in realtime.
(At which point you complain, OMG 8 milliseconds ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING?)
 
Every millisecond matters
 
What does 1L mean to you?
 
3:43 PM
@ShaunWild 0x0000000000000001
 
@MickLH Excellent answer
Tyypi just left
nooo
 
Hey @BlueBug if I mail you some books will you implement a set of the algorithms for me?
It just hit me that you like making tools, and I like having projects finished without doing the work, this could be a good relationship
 
user4704
3:58 PM
@Almo Show me.
 
user4704
I can refund the bounty and close the question if it is really egregiously off-topic.
 
What do you guys think of that article?
