OK so my computer is cheaper than my keyboard.

I was gonna say Downgoat can use one, but then I remembered....

@Quill Yeah. Well, sadly, I don't have fur.... :::(((

@BaldBantha I love that video so much.

@QPaysTaxes you can try -C++ on the end of your searches

IMO this one is better:

Bald Bantha

@Quill Ok what version of chat is that b/c mine does not look like that

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ But it's not with pure VOCAL talent

Quill

@QPaysTaxes this hurts me deeply

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Sure, they're both amazing.

Bald Bantha

@QPaysTaxes My first lang....

Yeah but better than java...

12:18 AM

I actually modded my version of Undertale to play the metal version to make my sans fight that much more epic.

Q: Porkchat: A Chrome extension with lots of chat tweaks!

Install Install from the Chrome Web Store About Porkchat is a Chrome extension that bundles together a lot of scripts I have written for Stack Exchange chat over the years. It is fully configurable - each individual script can be enabled/disabled from the options page. Included Scripts ...

Maltysen

@BaldBantha ಠ_ಠ

Bald Bantha

12:20 AM

-1 no universal userscript

SHAME

Quill

the directory and project structure for Porkchat doesn't support UserScripts

I tried to refactor and convert to a userscript but I gave up because ;-; jquer

Bald Bantha

@Quill y jqur

Does anyone have a jquer-to-plain-js converter

oh and @Downgoat

I am going to write a programming lang in cheddar

Downgoat

@BaldBantha :D :D :D

Quill

I was gonna write Adynata in Cheddar, but I figured Cheddar would be even more painful than JavaScript

Bald Bantha

@Quill BOOO

A Nerd - I

12:24 AM

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ The reason that cover is better is that the guitar has birds, like a certain wrong person we all know.

Downgoat

@Quill why?

Cheddar is a real programming language unlike JS

Quill

given that the REPL and/or parser isn't even finished yet

@Downgoat There's so many things wrong with this message

Downgoat

12:26 AM

@quartata oh, since when have you become a fan on JS objects?

quartata

JS objects != objects in general

Bald Bantha

The context was js

Downgoat

^

quartata

OK, then that message is totally right. Carry on.

Downgoat

can a mod eleven in "JS " at the beginning of that message?

quartata

12:28 AM

NO

Bald Bantha

NVM that would be a bad idea

quartata

Please do not play with flags. Ever.

Downgoat

^

quartata

Something most people don't know about flags is that they get broadcast to every single mod and user with more than 10k network rep online

A Nerd - I

Flags should be used in car races and Perl and nowhere else

Quill

12:29 AM

and shell commands

Downgoat

@BaldBantha mods are for serious things. Every 10k user on chat sees them

@Quill :|

it is true for mods too

The flag of some country part of england or something

The version of Rails in the Ubuntu repos is 3.2.13. Fun.

Downgoat

why does github use svn...

it should use git

quartata

Blergh, my version of Ruby is out of date too. Crap.

Quill

12:31 AM

I don't think Banthas and Goats are valid users by the ToS of SE... we might have to report you to the internet police

quartata

@Downgoat bruh svn rocks

Downgoat

@Quill y u do dis

Bald Bantha

@Quill nononono

quartata

SVN is actually usable, whereas Git sounds amazing but no one actually knows how to use it

If that doesn't fix it, git.txt contains the phone number of a friend of mine who understands git. Just wait through a few minutes of 'It's really pretty simple, just think of branches as...' and eventually you'll learn the commands that will fix everything.

Downgoat

@QPaysTaxes can i be unignored pls

@quartata ಠ_ಠ said by a person who doesn't know about git reset --soft

Bald Bantha

12:33 AM

@Quill "Subscriber certifies to Stack Exchange that Subscriber is an individual (i.e., not a corporate entity) at least 13 years of age"

Downgoat

@quartata i never said svn was bad

Bald Bantha

@QPaysTaxes "git" shit done

quartata

@QPaysTaxes I don't see how using git would help here if every server went down

This implies that everyone in the office knows how to use Git

See above xkcd

Downgoat

@quartata git isn't that hard to learn though

quartata

@QPaysTaxes Oh, you mean the one that doesn't run on Linux right

@Downgoat Sure, but SVN is significantly easier. I don't worry about accidentally blowing something up every time I use it

Mama Fun Roll

12:38 AM

ok guys, i've waited some time for my tk domain to go up, but it still doesn't work...

Downgoat

@QPaysTaxes someone probably already has

Mama Fun Roll

wat

Downgoat

@MamaFunRoll what is your TTL?

Mama Fun Roll

oh god

Bald Bantha

@QPaysTaxes No, can confirm that it is glitchy AF. Takes 50 min to open then has to sync for 4 hours for a 60 byte project before I can start commiting, which takes another 15 minutes

Mama Fun Roll

12:39 AM

@Downgoat 14440

idk why

it was default

Quill

Yeah, depending on your TTL and the DNS providers TTL, it can take a while

@MamaFunRoll TTL = Time To Live

Mama Fun Roll

@Quill oh :P

Downgoat

@MamaFunRoll that's like 4 hours

@QPaysTaxes ;_; y u do dis

Bald Bantha

@QPaysTaxes Im on a computer that is cheaper than my keyboard, nope, aint hapening

Quill

Usually the DNS provider has like a 5~10 min TTL, so your TTL doesn't matter too much if it's under that

Downgoat

12:40 AM

quartata

@ArtOfCode Hey, can you do me a massive favor? Can you generate a controller for me? I'm too lazy to install the latest versions of Ruby and Rails

Quill

But 4 hours is a bit much while you're setting stuff up

quartata

If you're feeling really generous you could do all this for me

> I'm too lazy to install the latest versions of Ruby and Rails

Downgoat

@Quill do you know istanbul?

Quill

@Downgoat I've heard of the place, I can't say it's on my bucket list to visit though

(jk) no, I haven't used the framework and when I read your code I couldn't figure out how it worked

Downgoat

12:43 AM

@Quill I meant the node testing thing

@Quill I can't figure out how it works either

Quill

you had the command name in the package.json scripts but not in the dependencies or a config file for it in the files

much confuse very tear

quartata

I think Art is asleep so I guess I'll just try and remember how to Rails myself

Quill

He's on UK time (UTC+1 IIRC), if that helps

Downgoat

@Quill github.com/cheddar-lang/Cheesecloth/blob/master/.travis.yml#L15

oh shit I should encrypt my repo token

trichoplax

@Quill Yes, we're absurdly on +1 time until we go back to UTC after summer

Mama Fun Roll

12:46 AM

also, do i need A records for my domain?

@MamaFunRoll not in this case

in game dev, whats the proper defenition of a particle.

can an entire (1 pixel thickness) line be a particle?

@QPaysTaxes sorry, typo!

@QPaysTaxes yeah, but not for everything.

On ms word and stuff...

lol

holy sh*t, this bluebery has a 15/16 inch diameter...

thats freeking giant.

Ok anyway, sorry, go on.

oh ok cool

so its basically developer defined?

Quill

lol

Ashwin Gupta

@Quill what the blueberry? I was serious. Its huge.

oh okay.

Quill

1:00 AM

@AshwinGupta the conversation was funny is all

Ashwin Gupta

well yeah thats what I'm talking about, the real def.

@Quill fair enuf.

@QPaysTaxes thats pretty much what I'm doing, using a bunch of small lines to render fire.

OFC, I don't actually know how to make this work, so it will look like shit when I'm done.

but ya know.

live and learn right?

xD

hopefully

um.

Thats a bit dark.

Oh yeah, I found a funny programming joke, but its not really appropriate...

should I link it? Or just forget it?

Quill

@Downgoat does istanbul work for you?

Downgoat

@Quill kind of

Ashwin Gupta

@Quill the city?

Downgoat

@QPaysTaxes :D you unignored me

whatever, my geography is crap.

damn, that's good

Ashwin Gupta

@Downgoat oh, btw, I figured out a different way to link my js files.

Mama Fun Roll

Downgoat

does anyone know how to codecov

Ashwin Gupta

1:06 AM

I didn't realize I can include multiple <script> tags and acess data from each.

Downgoat

@MamaFunRoll is your RH-cloud pointing to your freenom?

@QPaysTaxes where?

Mama Fun Roll

@Downgoat you mean like an alias?

Ashwin Gupta

woah I can write right to left*.

Downgoat

@MamaFunRoll uh, no?

Mama Fun Roll

@Downgoat then idk

how would i do that?

Downgoat

1:07 AM

El'endia Starman

"freenom" == "free food"?

Mama Fun Roll

@Downgoat I did that

Downgoat

@El'endiaStarman no, it's a service that gives free top-level domains

El'endia Starman

Well, I guess that would more properly be "freenomnom".

Downgoat

@MamaFunRoll also, reduce your TTL to like 16

Mama Fun Roll

1:08 AM

@Downgoat ok

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta that's a very bad way to do it imo, but whatever floats your goat/js files

Mama Fun Roll

@Downgoat wait i can't do that :P

you realise that a lot

@ArtOfCode All right, pushed the very first IRC stuff.

@Geobits Any European country or maybe Canada would be a solid choice

Oh shit, I forgot to add the new site settings to seeds.rb

PSA for everyone on QPixel: please don't mess with the IRC settings in the Admin panel (once it's deployed). I know messing with site settings is fun but please

You could really break things in this case
