Any meowderators around ?
 
meow
 
Can I haz a chatroom plz ?
 
@Zanna that lasted a long time o_O
@Serg done
 
@Seth yeah... I see too many things like that. Community needs to bump more questions with no-vote answers imho
thanks a lot
 
@Zanna giving them a downvote helps clean 'em out without too much review burden.
assuming they are actually downvote worthy like that one.
 
10:06 PM
@Seth nope. If they have answers they will never be deleted.
hence me doing cleanup
 
@Zanna wat. did they change it?
 
@Seth Thanks
 
maybe I'm horribly wrong
but I think not
I have read the script actions quite carefully
and, of course, observed the effects...
here's another one that I think is unanswerable, and that's all from me until UTC tomorrow, promise askubuntu.com/questions/379759/…
 
@Zanna hm, you're right. Needs to be closed to get deleted with answers. I guess that makes sense.

Q: Enable automatic deletion of old, unanswered zero-score questions after a year?

@Seth yes that's what I understood. Since I have no hammers, and I'm doing cleanup, I have to know my tools :)
thanks for the second close :)
I've more or less decided that what I do wouldn't be possible with super powers anyway though. It would be too heavy. This way I get to push my hardest, which is my nature. Holding back isn't my style :/
thinking aloud in chat... hmm... must be time for bed :)
later all xxx
 
10:24 PM
see you later, good night @Zanna :)
 
ciao @IanC :)
 
Finally got it working :D Files indicator now has option to pin links
 
Nice wallpaper, BTW.

@Serg new indicator, or improving an older one?
 
haha, yes, that's the same one you see in my avatar
@IanC improving older one. Adding a feature that I wanted myself for some time
@NathanOsman thanks. I've an xml slideshow which i made basically out of images of server rooms
 
10:32 PM
Cool.
 
just finished cleaning and organizing stuff for moving tomorrow
 
I have new indicator ideas, but I need to get around to implementing them.
 
Goes back to Java programming...
 
shudders , the dreaded J word
 
@NathanOsman you have a go backend right? You're not having to reimplement the entire thing are you?
 
10:34 PM
For NitroShare? Well, now you've asked an interesting question.
I have to reimplement the protocol obviously.
Java sockets are... different.
 
Also obligatory: you should totally drop that and try jQuery.
 
I have a bit of an aversion for Java, and I'm not even sure why
 
It has improved a lot.
 
the syntax is good
 
10:35 PM
The nio package is worth its weight in gold.
 
ugh I hate the syntax.
@NathanOsman I like the name. Short, sweet, and to the point.
 
System.out.println("Very lengthy declarations for pretty much everything")
 
TotallyRandomThingThatYouWouldNeverThinkAboutException
 
@Serg pretty much this. I tend to prefer explicit over implicit, but Java is just so freaking explicit it drives even me crazy.
 
*cough* code completion *cough*
 
10:36 PM
@NathanOsman that's usually my argument in these conversations :P
 
P.S. I have no idea why I'm defending Java right now :P
 
also, I am not a big fan of camel-case variables. Python is far more elegant in that regard. You can have camel-case in class declarations, but other than that it's lowercase and doesn't burn the eyes
 
Go uses case to determine export characteristics.
Names that start with lowercase are private.
 
which throws you for a loop when you're just getting started. But I was surprised how quickly I picked it up.
 
@Serg Most scripting languages use underscore case (or whatever-it's-called).
Python, Perl, Bash, etc.
 
10:38 PM
@NathanOsman don't you mean whatever_it's_called? :P
 
Lol.
whateverItsCalled()
 
def whatever_it_is_called(self,*args):
 
Most C programmers use it as well.
 
for whatever reason I tend to use camel case for functions and classes and then underscore notation for variables.
No idea why. Maybe I should stop.
 
Me, personally, I'm a camelCase guy.
But I use whatever is proper for the language I'm writing.
For Python, this means following PEP8 wherever reasonably possible.
Go enforces its style so there's not much to be said there.
The Windows API does CamelCase (where the first letter is always capitalized).
I hereby call it "VisualBasic case".

Q: Command not found when running function in bash

kinxI am trying to create a basic bash script that closes a screen and then starts a new one. restart.sh #!/bin/bash set -o nounset set -o errexit trap 'echo "Aborting due to errexit on line $LINENO. Exit code: $?" >&2' ERR set -o errtrace set -o pipefail SCR="bunny" SCRIPT="/home/../run.sh" t...

 
@NathanOsman don't forget hungarian notation..
 
Yes, the Windows API does that too.
dwFlags, anyone?
 
I guess I complimented Java's syntax without knowing much about it
 
The one thing I like about Hungarian notation is prefixing member variables with m.
That is a reasonable thing to do.
Especially in Java where member variables and local variables are initialized differently.
 
But variables cases are (usually) more of a style guideline issue then language syntax
 
10:44 PM
@NathanOsman hWin for me :P
 
Except when it is enforced
 
I can sort-of see the usefulness of that - in a language with so many implicit conversions, it helps to be reminded of the variable's type.
 
@NathanOsman yeah, I never got why so many people hated on it. I think most people just don't understand how to use it properly.
 
pKey for example, reminds you that you have a pointer to an HKEY (which is itself a pointer).
C++ has its issues but one of the best pieces of advice I can give is to never allow the compiler to do implicit conversions.
Always use static_cast<T>() to make it explicit.
It helps avoid subtle integer conversion bugs and whatnot.
(The one exception to this is very simple boolean expressions such as comparing pointers to 0.)
if (pKey) is pretty hard to mess up.
 
11:02 PM
So, lets sum up everything that I've done today . . . basically nothing :p
 
user136984
Goodnight! :)
 
@ParanoidPanda good night man, sleep well!
