so what is new in 4.4.3

The 3.

a lot

@jrg yes to?

did they finally do the application control thing?

Nathan Osman

1:20 AM

They fixed a whack of bugs.

A lot of them are related to the camera and battery.

But seriously, I didn't spend hundreds of $$$ buying a Nexus device so that Sprint users could be the first to benefit from updates.

Mateo

@NathanOsman so... I thought that google rolled out the updates... but it is carrier based?

Q: How do I implement pidgin hide groups feature

what is the appropriate IDE to develop such apps as Pidgin? Vim? Emacs?

Nathan Osman

4:39 AM

It depends on the programming language.

Danatela

haha I was right pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2012-January/022079.html

I'm used to Visual Studio

Braiam

Danatela

and the language is pure C

Braiam

just use what you feel accustomed with

Minato Namikaze

@NathanOsman Remember the thing about the "Best Windows IDE for python"?

I think i've decided it's ninja

Nathan Osman

4:41 AM

I do not recommend new programmers start in C.

Minato Namikaze

It has PEP analysis and stuff :P

Danatela

@NathanOsman well, I'm experienced enough

Nathan Osman

@Danatela In what?

Danatela

but Pidgin sources are weird

@Nathan Delphi, C++, C#, Java

and I'm a programmer since 2006

Nathan Osman

Ah, okay. My apologies.

In that case, C is C++ without classes and type safety in a number of places.

You lose quite a bit, sadly - typed enums, templates, C++ casts, RTTI, etc.

Danatela

4:47 AM

and without overloading functions =)

Nathan Osman

Yeah, that too.

I tend to avoid it unless I'm doing low level systems or embedded programming.

But even Arduino's compiler supports a C++-like language.

Danatela

@NathanOsman and what languages do you know?

Nathan Osman

Python and C++ are my specialities.

I learned enough Java to write a couple Android apps.

one question

I have zpanel installed on ubuntu , which manages all hosting on my ubuntu server

I am installing NTOP application on same server

which will have address server-ip:port to access user Interface

will this cause any issue with my existing Hosting , because same IP address is usedfor all websites

I mean NTOP installation should not have any effect on running of zpanel(hosting )

terdon

@D_Vaibhavツ It shouldn't. All websites served by a given server generally have the same IP. If you are using a different port, there will be no conflict.

There are literally hundreds of emacs commands. The ones you show are one way of moving around. You can do that in code or prose, no they are not specific to code. Other commands are.

Danatela

Oliver Salzburg

Is github.com/AskUbuntu/ProFormaComments/blob/master/… working for any of you in Chrome?

The instructions posted in the repo don't work for me "because its MIME type ('text/plain') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled."

Seth

Yep, works for me. I'm using Chromium.

What are you trying to do @OliverSalzburg?

Oliver Salzburg

@Seth I'm trying to import that set of comments into my fork of the extensions. I'm working on a new feature and the set seems good for testing

Seth

Ah, your fork of the pro forma comment extension? And you're importing this link right? https://raw.github.com/askubuntu/ProFormaComments/master/comments.jsonp

Oliver Salzburg

@Seth Correct

Refused to execute script from 'https://raw.github.com/askubuntu/ProFormaComments/master/comments.jsonp?jsonp=callback&_=1397680700309' because its MIME type ('text/plain') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

That's what I get in the devtools console when I try to retrieve the data

Seth

8:39 PM

That's odd.

It is clearly a jsonp file.

What happens if you remove the callback?

Braiam

I just imported https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AskUbuntu/ProFormaComments/master/comments.js‌onp and worked fine, where's yours @OliverSalzburg? maybe a bug introduced

Oliver Salzburg

@Seth I would have to fiddle with that part of the extension to remove that first

Seth

@OliverSalzburg That probably has something to do with it :-/

Hm, in my dev console I get this when I retrieve it:

Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/plain: "https://raw.github.com/askubuntu/ProFormaComments/master/comments.jsonp?jsonp=callback&_=1397680872601".

But it works properly.

Oliver Salzburg

Oliver Salzburg

@Braiam Yeah

> As nosniff support is added to Chrome and Firefox, hotlinking will stop working in those browsers, and we wanted our beloved users, human and otherwise, to know why.

From: github.com/blog/1482-

Which I got from:

A: Link and execute external JavaScript file hosted on GitHub

This is no longer possible. GitHub has explicitly disabled JavaScript hotlinking, and newer versions of browsers respect that setting. https://github.com/blog/1482-

So I assumed this is no longer possible. I'm actually confused that it works fine for you guys :\

This is the branch I'm working on right now: github.com/oliversalzburg/SE-AutoReviewComments/tree/…

Maybe you'd even come up with some great defaults to put in the script ;)

I currently have these for testing:

###[C] Too localized
This question appears to be off-topic because it is too localized.

###[EQ] Improper tagging
The tags you were using are not appropritate for this question. Please review [What are tags, and how should I use them?](http://$SITEURL$/help/tagging)

@searchfgold6789 until?

Braiam

@Mateo I presume this

Mateo

hm

Braiam

10:03 PM

@OliverSalzburg wait, it detects Q's being closed and presents the comment, or what?

Just kidding all, we're not really splitting. This was the most elaborate hoax for a rep-cap EVAR.

Oliver Salzburg

@Braiam When you close a question and select "other" as the close reason, you get an "auto" link next to the textbox, which allows for the known functionality

Same goes for the summary box when you edit a post

Braiam

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

@searchfgold6789 cool

searchfgold6789

@Mateo yes.

terdon

@OliverSalzburg Oooooh! I want that too! Where can we get it?

Oliver Salzburg

@terdon github.com/oliversalzburg/SE-AutoReviewComments/tree/…

terdon

@OliverSalzburg Cool, thanks :)

Oliver Salzburg

@terdon Be sure to refer to github.com/Benjol/SE-AutoReviewComments/wiki/Building

terdon

10:45 PM

@OliverSalzburg Ah thanks, but I already have the autoreview comments script so presumably I've done that. Yours is a branch of that right?

Oliver Salzburg

@terdon Right. Check the new prefixes github.com/oliversalzburg/SE-AutoReviewComments/blob/…

...for that branch

terdon

That looks really cool, I'll test it and let you know if I have any problems.

Oliver Salzburg

@terdon Awesome

hey

11:01 PM

hi guys

Oliver Salzburg

Mateo

@OliverSalzburg the [A] and [Q] work wonderfully! My script is all cleared up now. I would, however, make the doc a bit more explicit. You say they need to be prepended to the comments, it took me a little while to understand that they need to be prepended to the comment title.

How do the C EA and EQ work @Oliver? I thought that adding a C to one of my comments should bring up the auto button in the close->off topic -> other. That doesn't happen for me.

hbdgaf

@Mateo heh. I don't understand why people don't get the ISO the day before final or the week after. I mean if you REALLY need Ubuntu next, it's always available...

Braiam

meh, actually downloading the disk before time just delay the release process

hbdgaf

The only possible motivation I can think of for that is isolating any changes that were in prev-day daily and stable landing. It could be an interesting blog article twice a year I guess... but probably not. It could be titled "Smart but procrastinator developers/packagers" unless you find some killer feature they didn't get the community to alpha/beta.

Jorge Castro

the archive has been frozen for a while, getting the ISO and just zsyncing it the day of is a good trick

Mateo

@hbdgaf yeah, that is what I did a few weeks back when I wanted to try it out, sure it didn't have the tahr logo yet... but oh well

hbdgaf

11:37 PM

@JorgeCastro good call. Didn't know daily builds froze that far ahead of time. It does seem... "only logical" in his best spock voice.

Mateo

that and this netbook isn't important ;)

Braiam

another close vote askubuntu.com/q/304732/169736

hbdgaf

i need to check the black-screen question for something...

rel1k indicated in a facebook post that he had an issue with Ubu 14.04 LTS black-screening during install on a UEFI box with a SATA optical drive... is this a known issue... something for the black-screen qa... something for a bugtracker... or just an oddball hardware case?

Braiam

and just one more askubuntu.com/q/448128/169736

Mateo

@hbdgaf what type of graphics?

Braiam

11:42 PM

remove from kernel parameters quiet and splash

hbdgaf

he said he did that and it didn't provide any output. no hw list disclosure, but here comes a shot of the rig if anyone cares to identify this swathe of video cards...

Jorge Castro

that's some serious SLI, what's up with the drives though

hbdgaf

hash grinding rig. loads of precompute and loads of gpu.

Mateo

wow, it has a blubber!

Jorge Castro

oh

hbdgaf

11:48 PM

anyway, said it was trial and errored out to SATA optical... then it worked like a champ. don't know how easy it will be to reproduce without using the same mobo. if anyone has a set to try and do that uefi enabled on... give it a shot. otherwise, i'm just going to chalk it up to a bios stall.

Mateo

@hbdgaf bet it is all out like titans or something

hbdgaf

no idea. you want the keys per second from ocl-hashcat?

Mateo

so not attached in sli?

hbdgaf

no. not at all. the thing @JorgeCastro thought was sli was the heatsink. They're independent GPUs

Mateo

yeah on the far left side

hbdgaf

11:54 PM

or i could be mistaken and sli could not require cables like crossfire does. i don't buy that brand, so i don't know. that's how i would read it that way.

Jorge Castro

so that plate there is just for physical stability?

hbdgaf

The plate is the scaffold for the heatsinks between the video cards and the liquid runs through it as I understand my perception of the rig looking at where hoses are going.
