Serg

@KazWolfe Hey, I've been single for way too long, let me boast around a little !

Ahmed Al-attar

Kaz wolfie , yeah cross breed

Kaz Wolfe

wow. you can handle that dog?

Ahmed Al-attar

Kaz Wolfe

8:02 PM

50/50 wolf splits are hard enough to manage. 90/10 is... wow.

Andy K

Ahmed Al-attar

Kaz Wolfe , i dont i love her spoild

Serg

@edwinksl can I haz matlab question ? general idea only, not asking for solution

Andy K

@Serg if you pass by Hong Kong, your gf and you need to go to that restaurant lungwahhotel.hk/culture.php?lang=eng

edwinksl

@Serg yeah sure

Andy K

8:03 PM

one of the oldest in HK : pidgeon

Serg

@edwinksl ^

edwinksl

btw if you do have a specific matlab question, SO is definitely the place to ask. the matlab people there are top-notch

Kaz Wolfe

i've looked at a 25%, but that would be too much to manage, even with 600+ acres of space.

Andy K

@KazWolfe can you tell more about ifw, please?

Kaz Wolfe

@AndyK ufw is just simple persistent iptables.

Less annoying firewall, basically.

edwinksl

8:05 PM

@Serg the plotting part or the finding part?

Serg

BRB AFK

Andy K

cool

Kaz Wolfe

like ufw allow incoming port is: ufw allow 80 or something

Andy K

found that digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/…

Kaz Wolfe

yeah. digitalocean is an amazing resource, actually.

Andy K

8:09 PM

good stuff. I made a good choice to buy a box there

Serg

8:21 PM

@edwinksl sorry, mom decided to wash her windshield before going to work

i need the plotting part

Q: Shold post in Meta be required before closing a question?

When a question is closed votes where casted before. Sometimes the voters can learn from this closed questions. While it is possible to ask on meta I'm considering if it will be possitive to require some sort of documentation of what the voters have learned from the closed question. Mainly to av...

William

and when I click on it it directs me to this page

askubuntu.com/help/bounty

Serg

@William what's the question ?

William

8:24 PM

@Serg it won't let me add a bounty on this question

... askubuntu.com/questions/651188/single-click-expose

Serg

@William how much are you adding ?

William

it doesn't matter it won't let me add any

Serg

@William I've added bounty to your question perfectly fine.

Kaz Wolfe

oh, i see why.

Serg

You only have 150 reputation

William

8:26 PM

Why?

edwinksl

@Serg hmm, just use plot? i can be more specific if you give more details about what data you have

William

so why can't i add 50 bounty

Kaz Wolfe

You set a bounty of 100 on your question already.

I believe that means you can only add more bounty to your question.

William

hmm that is dissappointing

Serg

@William that's the rule , nothing to be disappointed about

Kaz Wolfe

8:27 PM

> Additionally, if you offer multiple bounties on the same question, the minimum spend doubles with each subsequent bounty (50 reputation on the first bounty, 100 reputation on the second, 200 on the third, and so on).

William

well I need to either transfer stackoverflow points here or get more bounty then

Kaz Wolfe

You only have 151 rep right now, and you need 200 to be able to place a bounty here.

Serg

That ^

Since I've not set a bounty on your question before, i can set 100 , it seems

@William by the way, i mentioned that I did find a shortcut, but it's not a clicking action. Would it be acceptable if i posted that as answer ?

William

@Serg certainly although I have messed with ubuntu some and concluded the behavior has been very much changed

Serg

actually . . . i might have another idea too

well, i can't award bounty to myself though . . . dammit

Kaz Wolfe

8:31 PM

gg serg

William

hahahah you can award it to me and I can give back to you

on another question

Kaz Wolfe

and that, kids, is how you get moderators on your tail.

Serg

Yay for underground rep swinging

Kaz Wolfe

brb getting shog again, @Serg

William

its stupid imo you can't award the bounty to yourself I guess to many people were gaming the system

Kaz Wolfe

8:33 PM

you can't really game the system with self-awarding.

Serg

@KazWolfe call him in, i missed the guy

William

you used to be able to. Added a bounty get good answers reward bounty back to yourself

Kaz Wolfe

You just get your rep back, which is avoided with bounties. It's a permanent forfeiture of reputation, save for very rare circumstances

and then that. you lure in the best with a promise of a bounty, and snatch it away from them.

Serg

@William if I may ask, where is your launcher set ? On the right ? or the bottom ?

William

@Serg same as the picture although I didn't take the picture myself

Serg

8:37 PM

good

William

I contacted enterprise support the other day and the say they don't provide support for user experience issues

Kaz Wolfe

???

Serg

I have an idea for script

but there is a bit of an issue

Also, I am lately quite busy , so it might take me some time to write it

Kaz Wolfe

hm?

Serg

maybe a week

William

8:40 PM

@KazWolfe are the ? marks directed at me?

Kaz Wolfe

yep.

canonical enterprise support

William

yeah talked to the Boston base said they don't help with user experience issues. Funny I just want to revert the behavior that was before the update

still said no

I would pay hansomly for just a little bit of support sometimes

for how much money that has been put into ubuntu(still hasn't tured a profit) I don't understand what is going on sometimes

Serg

@William Good news ! I have an idea. Expect a script some time next week

Nathan Osman

Google is rumored to be making a bid for Twitter.

Serg

You're gonna have your single click expose back

Nathan Osman

8:47 PM

Now that would be interesting.

Kaz Wolfe

+witter?

edwinksl

lmao

William

@Serg you are a genius if you can do it

Nathan Osman

twitter.com <--- this thing

William

Twitter is stupid

edwinksl

8:48 PM

@William why?

William

they still haven't turned a profit

its like RSS feeds but worse

Google needs to bring back google reader

edwinksl

@William this i can agree with

Kaz Wolfe

RSS is an amazing technology. It's a shame it's neve rreally used

Nathan Osman

Yes, it is.

stack2rss.quickmediasolutions.com

Kaz Wolfe

the majority of people don't know RSS

Nathan Osman

8:51 PM

And don't forget my SE Inbox => RSS Feed tool.

William

Google just worried because google+ didn't really work like facebook

Kaz Wolfe

well nobody's using RSS because mobile.

And everyone moved over to proprietary push/APIs.

TheXed

Why are my desktop icons so freaking big

Nathan Osman

@William I'm using it.

And lots of people I know are using it.

I will be extremely annoyed if they kill G+.

William

@NathanOsman they won't but it just doesn't have any of my friends like facebook

Kaz Wolfe

8:54 PM

who else but google employees use plus?

i mean the G+ platform is pretty nice, but it just never took off.

Nathan Osman

@William Then it isn't G+ that's the problem - it's your friends :D

@KazWolfe *cough* *cough*

Kaz Wolfe

everybody stayed on facebook

TheXed

I don't use social networks...they use me...

Nathan Osman

@Seth github.com/AskUbuntu/tbot \o/

Still a bit more code to write, but getting there.

edwinksl

@NathanOsman one star for the project!

Kaz Wolfe

8:58 PM

on bots... WolfBot-SE is doing well

it may even be ready to move to prod?

and then get itself and me banned.

Nathan Osman

I tend to think of Facebook users like:

edwinksl

@NathanOsman yeah pretty much

the only thing in the entire fb ecosystem that i do need is the messenger app

just because it is used by others :/

any decent whole-home ideas compared to me making my own?

Aside from storage, is there anything else that can be done with cloud ?

Kaz Wolfe

10:21 PM

compute

basically anything you can do locally can be done on the cloud

Serg

Mkay . . .

Kaz Wolfe

really the cloud is compute and storage.

once we hit low-latency widespread in the US, the majority of computers will just be screens and keyboards connected to some remote server

and you'll pay $19.99/mo for computer capability.

Machines on your desk and non-"hyperthin" is going to go the way of dial-up when that happens.

Serg

I was thinking to set up a cloud on my raspberry pi for fun at home. Just simple storage doesn't sound that exciting

Kaz Wolfe

you can do some remote compute, or have a thin-client setup.

I have a couple boxes at home for CIs.

Serg

what does thin client do ?

Kaz Wolfe

10:26 PM

just a screen and keyboard

essentially, you'd just X remote to that server.

Q: Changing Ownership: "Operation not permitted" - even as root!

While trying to help a user solve an issue with a bootable USB drive, there seems to be a file that is set so its ownership cannot be edited. I do realize that it should be able to be done with: sudo chown (user) ldlinux.sys But when that is executed it gives this error: Operation not...

You can see where you voted but the system exposes votes to nobody but staff

David Cole - Grammar Police

Yeah you can't see their actions

Edity

I guess so :P

chaskes

@Serg Thanks. It was the kind of problem I had trouble letting go of. 'Course, when it's me, I just make a new partition for anything so specific.

@NathanOsman We need a mod in that room.
