@RPiAwesomeness no she isnt great now because she isnt finished

RPi Awesomeness

12:13 AM

@Virusboy Obviously :)

I don't like the new min/max/close buttons. They're too big.

That's what she said

And I like the previous start menu design - this new one is again, too big

The display's not acting correctly in Vbox either. Resolutions are all weird

lol

Nice one MS

Nathan Osman

I'm still on build 9841.

Which one are you on?

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman 9926

Seth

you might have to re-download :/

Nathan Osman

When was that released?

RPi Awesomeness

2 days ago?

I think?

It now says Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview...I thought they were doing away with the different levels of Windows

Nathan Osman

12:28 AM

Argh... I had better not need to redownload a 4.5 GB ISO...

There's something about that in Windows Update, let me see...

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman There should be an option to download new builds in the same area as updates

Virusboy

I got it updated from 8.1

Nathan Osman

@RPiAwesomeness Oh, now I see it.

But how big is the download? It doesn't tell you?

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah. :P

That's gonna suck for capped connections...

And no progress bar either

That's something MS needs to work on, the lack of progress bars.

Yeah it's prettier, but I need to see progress.

That's why I downloaded the new ISO separately.

Nathan Osman

If only I could spin up a cloud server with the ISO...

RPi Awesomeness

12:43 AM

Another thing I've noticed between this build and the last is that this build won't play correctly with Virtualbox & resolutions - no full screen

The other build of Windows 10 I've got installed does that just fine.

Bwahaha

Who is Siri?

I have to say, I do prefer build 9841 (the first I downloaded) over the new one (9926)

No Time

1:04 AM

so I am back to trying to figure out how to do a command

could I do something to append to stdout to make 2 commands with filters (ls) go into one screen output?

Mateo

can you append the output to a file, then output the file?

No Time

I am supposed to do it all in one command.. i am not sure if it matters if i pipe it though

list all files in the current directory that have names with alternating upper and lower-case letters only. The name may start with either an upper or lower-case letter.

Mateo

oh, interesting

No Time

yeah.. its really hard for me to figure out how to do it

Seth

@NoTime So just files that have both cases and none that have only one case?

Mateo

1:18 AM

alternating

No Time

they need to look like this

aAaAaAaAa
and/or
AaAaAaAaA

Seth

ahh

what about AbAbAbAb?

No Time

yeah that too

or BaBaBaAbBaB

just case matters

Mateo

so, it would not do ABabAAABBB

No Time

correct

CoUld EvEn Be ThIS

if each word was different file

i have half of it working..

ls [![:upper:][:upper:]*

but it misses the ones starting with uppercase

and honestly... it's only dependent on the filenames I have

AaAA AaAa AAAAaA aAaAaAaA aaAA aAaA aaaa
aaaaAAA AAAaaa aAaAa AAaa AAAA

can i do like an array?

ls -f [![:upper:]][[:upper:]]* 0>> ls -f [![:lower:]][[:lower:]]*

did that.. seems interesting.. but didn't work

ByteCommander

1:37 AM

Hmpf. This crappy router needed 75 minutes to refresh its connection. I already grew a beard in that time...

RPi Awesomeness

Aaand...Windows 10 Tech Preview #2 has decidedly gone to crap

Just a black screen.

Third reinstall, here we come

I get the feeling that this build isn't as good as the previous...

Cortana...did you break something?

Virusboy

there's a third build?

I have 9962

RPi Awesomeness

That one

Virusboy

I havent run into an issue yet

I have run all the Blizzard games no issue

RPi Awesomeness

Had it working, was having resolution issues, reinstalled, just flat out froze on first boot. reinstalled again, booted, froze when installing Guest additions then wouldn't boot.

Virusboy

1:43 AM

I have Intel IvyBridge that I also Upgraded from 8.1

Nathan Osman

> "Note: This function may fail randomly on Windows."

Just great.

RPi Awesomeness

#Windows

Virusboy

I over intalled on my Dual boot

RPi Awesomeness

@Virusboy Did you ever have a build prior to this?

Nathan Osman

You mean: #WindowsGate.

Virusboy

1:44 AM

no

That

Lol.

Okay.

I did the 10(9962) from 8.1

RPi Awesomeness

kk

@NathanOsman Has yours finished upgrading itself yet?

ByteCommander

1:45 AM

@RPiAwesomeness Should we ever suspect anything else from Microsoft than BSODs and any problems solvable only by reinstalling?

RPi Awesomeness

@ByteCommander .. not really :)

Virusboy

Its so it doesnt break in VM

no

Nathan Osman

@RPiAwesomeness I cancelled it.

ByteCommander

Saying/writing this, my Firefox starts to randomly gray out! :P

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman Why?

Well, anyways. I'm much preferring the previous build

ByteCommander

1:46 AM

Why the hell is Ubuntu now sawing my disk?

Nathan Osman

@RPiAwesomeness Too much to download.

Virusboy

Skype works

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman Oh, do you have a cap?

Virusboy

@NathanOsman yea the 5 GB was intense

ByteCommander

Bad karma because I complained about Windows???

Virusboy

1:47 AM

You mean Winblows?

RPi Awesomeness

@Virusboy Why would Ubuntu be upset if you were complaining about Windows??

ByteCommander

Don't ask me!!!!

Virusboy

Because WINe is not happy

ByteCommander

I never used Wine...

but for any reason, I have installed it.

But I think it already calmed down again.

;)

Virusboy

asshats now compile everything with QT

Nathan Osman

1:50 AM

Hey...

ByteCommander

@Virusboy May I ask whom you are accusing of wearing hats on the wrong body part?

Journeyman Geek

>_>
What's wrong with QT?

Virusboy

I'm sorry be cause of QT5 I had to recompile Mesa

Which still has broken compentants

No Time

can you append from both ends like

command >> text << other command

Nathan Osman

Which components?

RPi Awesomeness

1:51 AM

Like heck I do!

At least you can set up a local account without using your live account :P

Virusboy

GFX API
WINE API

RPi Awesomeness

and having to deal with those stupid code things

Virusboy

anything dealing with rendering under Hardware OpenGL

No Time

ok I got this to work... but it seems like way too much work
http://paste.ubuntu.com/9890636/

Virusboy

you spent a whole day on that

No Time

1:57 AM

I wasn't here the whole day

Virusboy

stilll

No Time

yeah..

and it still isn't optimal

Virusboy

I love this task view

no more alt+tab

hahahahahaha

RPi Awesomeness

@Virusboy Windows?

Virusboy

yea

RPi Awesomeness

2:00 AM

What task view?

Multiple desktops?

Virusboy

its next to Cortana

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah, multiple desktops

Mateo

@NoTime how about something like this:

ls -f | grep -P '^(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])|^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])'

RPi Awesomeness

@RPiAwesomeness Oh, did not see this. Sorry for duplicating...

No Time

2:10 AM

@Mateo more concise.. but I am not sure how to make it work right.. like if I could use brackets to repeat that whole thing..

Mateo

yeah... It's using "lookaheads" if you want to look those up

No Time

what I have actually works for 4+ characters up to 100 matches :) even though it's ugly

Mateo

oh, this is better

ls -f | grep -P '^(?=.[a-z][A-Z])|^(?=.[A-Z][a-z])'

it matches 3+ I think

hmmm, nope not working.

oh well

No Time

it's getting things that start with Uu then does uU

it's mind boggling that it is that hard to do

Mateo

ByteCommander

2:18 AM

;D

No Time

i'm the goalie

Virusboy

2:50 AM

No Time

shouldn't this look ahead check for double caps?

How can somebody use a photo of a child-working kid as profile picture?!? askubuntu.com/users/372665/v%C4%83n-d%C5%A9ng-tr%E1%BA%A7n

Virusboy

because wrong is defined by opinion

ByteCommander

3:06 AM

This is not about definition!

ByteCommander

3:18 AM

Neither it is about opinion. It is just wrong!

I feel ashamed to use the same OS. >:P

Nathan Osman

You can flag his question if you feel that his Gravatar is offensive.

ByteCommander

@NathanOsman Don't you feel so? But as you said, it is not his question.

Nathan Osman

What do you mean it is not his question?

ByteCommander

There is nothing to complain about his question. Short, clear, clean, on-topic, fine.

It is just his profile picture that I think should not be like it is. You took a closer look? (link above)

So I think flagging the question would not be right... ?

No Time

shorter version for people who care:

ls -f |grep -P '([a-z][A-Z])\1'>list |ls -f |grep -P '([A-Z][a-z])\1'>>list;cat list;rm list

ByteCommander

3:34 AM

Okay, I finally left a flag explaining my thoughts. Now it's up to the mods and I can find some sleep without having to think about this.

Q: The administrator has banned my IP address. What is problem

I am not a very experienced Ubuntu user, so I have to look up some information on the internet. Most of the links lead to http://ubuntuforums.org. But each time I try to open a page on this site, it says "Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here...

ip

And with leaving that poor help-seeking guy to you, I also leave now and go to bed, finally.

Good night to everyone around!

No Time

WHOOO
Got it after only... idk almost 12 hours

ls -f |grep -P '([A-Z][a-z]|[a-z][A-Z])\1'

Virusboy

4:00 AM

looks complicated

No Time

its not as much as I though

@Virusboy unix.stackexchange.com/questions/181246/… check out that see if it explains it

Nathan Osman

My Site Monitor gave me a bit of a scare:

http://quickmediasolutions.com is down!

Tweeted by my_site_monitor on January 27, 2015 at 3:29 AM

Thankfully it was a false alarm.

Virusboy

makes sense

I need one @NathanOsman

No Time

I am not sure that command will ever be needed.. but if it helps anyone

Nathan Osman

@Virusboy A false alarm?

Virusboy

4:10 AM

no a site monitor

Nathan Osman

Mine is powered by a Raspberry Pi with a wireless network adapter and a script I wrote.

You can get the script here: gist.github.com/nathan-osman/7191607

No Time

flak overstow is quite weird @NathanOsman

Virusboy

at is it written in?

Nathan Osman

@Virusboy It's a Python script.

No Time

I can read it!

where is the website though in there?

is it input?

Nathan Osman

4:17 AM

The list of websites are specified as command-line arguments.

So something like this:

./sitemonitor.py --interval 60 something.com something-else.com

No Time

ok so it checks 60 seconds (list of sites)

Nathan Osman

It won't do anything when there is a problem though unless you provide API credentials for Twitter.

No Time

you need to be logged in?

Nathan Osman

...or if you have a USB-connected LED light.

@NoTime Unfortunately, it's a bit more difficult than that.

Virusboy

I could run that on Driod

No Time

4:19 AM

do you have to use a python script to import twitter, and somehow do something from there?

Nathan Osman

No, you'll need to visit this page and register a new "application".

No Time

@NathanOsman did Roland ever recover?

Nathan Osman

From?

No Time

like when he was having a bad night a while ago

Nathan Osman

Yeah, he's alright.

No Time

4:24 AM

ok I just was looking on 2buntu and saw he was on for 2 months.. just was wondering

Nathan Osman

No, he's taken a bit of a break from 2buntu.

But he's active on Google+.

No Time

I am wondering if I will ever get bored of linux

Nathan Osman

Probably not.

Virusboy

no such thing

No Time

I hope I don't

I've put a lot into it

I think I have only been using Linux for about 1 year technically? almost same time as AU

Seth

4:41 AM

@NathanOsman haha.

Nathan Osman

6:32 AM

Whew... I've just finished what is probably the most complicated piece of code I've written in a very long time.

Multi-threading, event loops, exceptions, signals/slots... so much stuff buzzing around in my head. I just hope it all works.

Do you people know what a yawn actually is?

user136984

:D

RPi Awesomeness

1:16 PM

@blade19899 That's not Unity...

Or at least it's a very modded version of Unity

@blade19899 What're your thoughts on it?

ByteCommander

@blade19899 I used to have Zorin OS 9 core installed on my laptop

I chose it because they stated it feels pretty much like good old Win XP those few months ago...

But it did not please me that much, so I went to Ubuntu! ;D

RPi Awesomeness

Yay Ubuntu :D

ByteCommander

It was my first contact with Linux anyway

RPi Awesomeness

Ugh. Google has this stupid new redirect notice when clicking on either of the links on Google Images.

Honestly Google. If I've searched for something and then clicked on the image and then clicked on a specific button, I'm sure I want to go that page...

Or this one:

I saw the first one a while back, so I went searching for it, and came across the second one :D

ByteCommander

@RPiAwesomeness You know this PR spot of a coffee company? Just sit comfortably in your armchair, lean back, relax, and watch!

blade19899

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 Yeah, I figured. It's definitely not Unity though, the sizing's all off for the bars

blade19899

1:37 PM

@RPiAwesomeness I knows! but still they got it working.

I got a project called NewOS, its to help people to choose their new OS. Might give zorin a try and post it there.

Code on github: NewOS

RPi Awesomeness

Nice!

I wish I had the internet speeds to do that stuff

blade19899

Firefox on Windows makes the font there look way to choppy!

@RPiAwesomeness You don't have to. Create a virtual host. Work on a project till you get it stable, and at night , push it online. Wait till morning, and your all set.

Fabby

@abhi : you cannot become a system's analyst without having been a programmer first...

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 True, that is a thought :) However, I was referring to the downloading of these ISOs. It takes me at least 12 hours of not using the internet at all to download a 4GB+ ISO

Fabby

@ByteCommander: thank you for putting the videos in-line... @blade19899: after the first kitten, it got boring... :P

blade19899

1:48 PM

@Fabby I was bored, so I posts boring stuff.

@RPiAwesomeness You can order CD's?

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 But that costs money (especially for Ubuntu - the shipping...O.O) and takes even longer.

@ByteCommander HOLY CRAP. The Heck was that all about? O.O

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness TOUGH LIFE BRO:(

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 Yeah, it sucks. I think I just need to move to England or Sweden when I get out of college.

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness Good luck!

Better shipping for Ubuntu stuff, closer to official RPi stuff (Jams and whatnot), cool accents, Tea, far superior internet... :D
