SE Chess

Arch Linux (or Arch /ˈɑrtʃ/) is a Linux distribution for i686 and x86-64 computers. It is composed predominantly of free and open-source software, and supports community involvement. The design approach of the development team focuses on elegance, code correctness, minimalism, and simplicity, and expects the user to be willing to make some effort to understand the system's operation. A package manager written specifically for Arch Linux, pacman, is used to install, remove and update software packages. Arch Linux uses a rolling release model, such that a regular system update is all that is needed...

Oh.

12:55 AM

Anyway, I'll be done eating in a jiffy and then I should be able to play some more.

Hosch250

I'm thinking about running Ubuntu in Hyper-V this summer.

Not decided yet, might not.

Unihedro

Ubuntu yay!

Hosch250

I'm a .NET Windows Store developer (for fun, not by trade yet), so I'm staying with Windows for now.

I've designed my own OS from scratch, but I've not written a single line of it yet.

Unihedro

Dual boot might be for you.

Hosch250

I'm going to run a VM for now.

Once .NET gets going on Linux more, I'm going to port my app if possible.

Otherwise, I might create a desktop WPF app, and try porting that.

Unihedro

12:57 AM

Awesome!

Hosch250

Not sure if that is an option, since WPF runs on Active-X.

I don't have a Mac, and I won't use Java for Android, so...

Unihedro

Macs are expensive!

Also, use Android NDK over SDK, SDK sucks

Hosch250

My computer (with a 3-year full warranty and Office Pro 2010) was about $2k.

I got a top-of-the-line system, though.

Unihedro

O_o

Specs pls?

Hosch250

But, because I bought it within the Office upgrade timeframe, I have Office 2013 Pro too.

Quad-core, 150GB at 7200RPM, 8GB RAM.

Seth

12:59 AM

I wouldn't use Hyper-V unless you're very familiar with it.

Hosch250

Big SSD cache, I believe 250GB.

Seth

I tried to setup a Linux VM in Hyper-V and couldn't for the life of me get the network working.

Hosch250

@Seth I'm running Windows 10 Preview in a Hyper-V VM.

@Seth Same problem at first, but I got it up after a couple days.

Seth

Oh?

Hosch250

Not sure what I did, but it involved creating new Ethernet ports and connecting them to my main internet.

Seth

1:01 AM

@Hosch250 That cost 2k?

Hosch250

@Seth Yeah, HP Envy laptop.

Seth

O_O

Hosch250

The warranty and Office were a good part of it.

Seth

Ah

that explains it.

Hosch250

The only thing I have to complain about is that it doesn't have a touchscreen.

But, we have a Surface 1 Pro that I use to test my app on.

That is my sister's main computer.

My mom and another sister have a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air, respectively.

The Mac Pro locks up regularly.

Seth

1:04 AM

What do you think of OSX?

Hosch250

That was the first computer I used, because my mom was afraid Windows would crash.

I'm not sure.

Seth

lol

Hosch250

We weren't really allowed to use it much.

Seth

Apple has good advertising.

Hosch250

My Windows has crashed 4 times in about 2 years, with one/two known viruses.

Seth

1:06 AM

Although I can't say Windows doesn't crash very often.

Hosch250

The Mac locks up every time we open iPhoto.

Seth

haha

Hosch250

It has a Dual core with 4GB RAM.

Seth

I use Ubuntu personally, but I have Windows for some things that still require it.

Hosch250

So, half the spec of my computer, but the Surface with its SSD is the fastest, and I think her computer has more power than it.

I really hate the way iWorks is going.

They are really dumbing it down.

My sister is artsy, and she was trying to use iWorks to create a poster with a curved header or something.

It took her all day to get it pretty good.

I went up to my system with Office, and did the same thing, with a rainbow gradient to boot, in about 1 minute.

I did several different styles, and impressed my mom so much she bought Office for Mac.

Unfortunately, she never uses it - she insists on staying with iWorks!

Hosch250

1:32 AM

@Seth You around?

Want to play?

Oh, @Doorknob came in.

Hi!

Doorknob

2:17 AM

hello!

Hosch250

@Doorknob Hi!

Coming to have your code reviewed?

Doorknob

Erm, this isn't CR chat :P

Hosch250

Whoops.

I have both windows open.

Doorknob

hahaha

Now we need Chess Review

Hosch250

I should pin that as a joke.

JK.

Anyway, want to play?

Doorknob

2:19 AM

Sure

Hosch250

Horde?

Doorknob

heh, never tried that

I guess

Hosch250

Bullet, normal?

Doorknob

You decide

Hosch250

lichess.org/1nis03z4

We'll do normal next, how about?

Doorknob

2:20 AM

Ahahaha, bullet horde?

Why not

hahahaha

That was... fun

Hosch250

I could have beat you, but my time ran out.

I think that is why I lost.

Doorknob

yup

Hosch250

How did you still have half a minute?

lichess.org/XUfPTC4R

That is non-bullet.

Doorknob

alright

Hosch250

And, it randomly gave me black.

Seth

2:34 AM

Anyone wanna try three-check or king of the hill?

Doorknob

I'm battling Hosch's Horde right now.

I think I'm starting to develop a strategy.

Hosch250

I think I'm starting to make mistakes.

Seth

cool, I'll watch then.

I see a good move for white.

Doorknob

aha!

got your back row

Hosch250

I've lost now.

Doorknob

2:40 AM

:D

Good game!

Hosch250

I knew I couldn't win with you munching my back row like that.

Seth

Haven't lost 'till you do :/

personally @Doorknob made a bad mistake with that dark bishop.

Hosch250

lichess.org/FjzV4a5n

Seth

He left the edge of the back end unguarded.

Doorknob

@Seth I could have just captured the A pawn if it moved another space forwards.

Seth

2:43 AM

bah, misclick again.

Doorknob

black could have captured that rook -_-

and again there

Seth

I was running out of time @Doorknob :P

Doorknob

:P

Hosch250

Pre-move is handy when you are playing timed.

Doorknob

What's that?

Seth

2:45 AM

lichess.org/F2jmGzPZ

Doorknob

Oh, is that how you manage to move immediately after I do?

Hosch250

Yah.

Seth

whoops

need to get these move instantly mentalities out of my head :p

fatal mistake D:

Hosch250

Sorry, dishes time.

Seth

Good game!

Hosch250

2:49 AM

Play you later.

Seth

Up @Doorknob?

three check is interesting.

Doorknob

Sure, any variant, you decide

Seth

lichess.org/w1dunCw2

Doorknob

One down, two to go!

Seth

interesting strategy.

Doorknob

2:55 AM

Fork!

hmmm

eh, worth it

hmmm... to queen sac, or not to queen sac

ahhhhh

Seth

fork

kinda

you could have won right there :P

Doorknob

Really? O_o

ah, I see

I think

Seth

Well, it wasn't definite I guess, but pretty close.

Doorknob

Well hurry up, you only have 23 hours and 57 minutes to move. :P

If only I still had that white bishop...

uh oh

Seth

wait

totally didn't see that sigh

Doorknob

3:09 AM

as long as I keep the king on a white square, I should be good now

:D

Good game!

Seth

Good game though!

Unihedro
