@Arperum you still have to get kind of lucky: no headless horseman and no conquest
 
Wikiwand is wonderful
 
@SaintWacko Go post on meta.se and make them inbox it properly, and maybe I'll think about changing my mind on it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Wow, that's special

Q: Please Onebox Wikiwand

GnomeSliceWikiwand is a really nice plugin that beautifies wikipedia, but it does so by automatically converting wikipedia URLs to wikiwand URLs. These don't onebox. It's possible to get the unaltered wikipedia URL from the wikiwand page, but it's a pain. Everybody should use wikiwand anyway, so somebod...

 
12:02 AM
@SaintWacko Okay then, I revert to my previous sentiment, that this is all @GnomeSlice's fault.
 
What the fuck SE? I was logged in...
@murgatroid99 True, but even if this happens I'm just unlocking other stuff anyway.
 
@fredley Would you be able to make a userscript that, when I post a wikiwand link in chat, converts it to a wikipedia link before it posts?
 
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/203112/what-is-the-best-way-to-farm-monkey-kings-garb-sunwuko-set

DH statement, I want to nuke it
 
@Arperum sometimes that happens just because of connectivity flakiness
 
I also just acciudentally went to the chest instead of dark room. And two hitted blue baby... and I already had that unlock, and dark room not yet...
 
12:05 AM
I have an AHK script that does it, but AHK doesn't work on Linux
 
user15026
@Virusboy ????
 
@murgatroid99 Not on my side, I've been streaming music the whole time.
 
I'm getting a lot of connection issues with chat today
 
@AshleyNunn He says he has a Demon Hunter on D3 doing 900k running T3.
 
@Virusboy Go ahead
IT doesn't add anything to the question
 
12:06 AM
@Virusboy Why? It's relevant.
 
user15026
@Virusboy I have no idea what those words even mean :P
 
only if it inflates egos
 
@Arperum What?
How is talking about an unrelated character relevant?
 
@SaintWacko It means that he can farm T3 basically.
 
Which I still havent seen Monkey Garb. I have innra and Storm sets
 
12:07 AM
I have no complete set at all. Except for the ones you can craft.
 
ewww
At least I have the most sought out ring
 
The DH would be relevant if he weren't looking for a monk only set
 
@Virusboy That edit is actually invalid.
That info is super important.
@OrigamiRobot It will drop, still. Not nearly with as high a chance, but it can still drop.
 
12:29 AM
BANDAGE GIRL GET. Without infinite book of minion spamming stuff.
 
@Arperum wow, that was fast
 
@murgatroid99 Meh, my run is at 28 minutes now at it lives.
Not that fast.
 
@Arperum I mean overall. It seems like you just started going for that half an hour ago
 
@Frank Idk i still call bs
 
@Arperum It took me a ton of runs followed by abusing the Monster Manual to actually get it
 
12:36 AM
@murgatroid99 Nah, I'm trying to complete my last 20 (now 19) achievements, which is to say, 17 unlocks for beating stuff with different characters, and the two plat gods.
i got no runs on hard left though. And the lost is completely finished.
This run could have gone a lot better even, I decided against picking up guppys head in the first devil room, to see if I could by sheer luck get godhead in an angelroom. Except I got mor devilrooms. I've purchased two other guppy items since then...
 
A friend of mine changed both his avatar and name on steam. What a monster.
This is almost as bad that time that jerk Wipqozn changed his avatar from a Turtle.
 
@Arperum I don't think I'm ever going to get True Platinum God. Every time I start a game with The Lost, I remember how terribly frustrating it is and go do something else instead.
 
@murgatroid99 Heh, I got into some kind of a stubborn mode and just pushed through. I'm way better then before now though, so it doesn't feel like a stupid idea.
Hell, a run has to go seriously sour now before I lose all hope.
 
@Arperum For me, the whole "one mistake kills the run" thing is too nerve-wracking
 
@murgatroid99 I don't mind a game being stupid hard, I tend to look for stupid hard anyway. I did get murdered probably around 1k times as the lost.
or something around that anyway.
 
12:45 AM
I'm OK with games that are really hard. The problem is that it is utterly unforgiving, which is not exactly the same thing
 
that's some good metal
 
ANd that's dark room as lazarus done too.
 
@Arperum plus, too many of my game seem to be: finally get an item that's not useless, then I get that first floor ghost boss and just die
 
@murgatroid99 That one took me a lot of tries to get to a kill/death ratio of 70-80% wins. But now I don't really mind him.
 
@Arperum I mean with The Lost. With starting stats the little ghosts are impossible to kill
before they touch you once
 
12:50 AM
@murgatroid99 Not impossible, just quite hard. Especially the two together.
The one alone is not an issue, that's easy, it's the two who end up driving you into a corner between them and the big ghost.
 
Even the single ghost is faster than you, takes like 6 hits to kill, shoots at you, and moves to cut you off
 
@murgatroid99 But you can outmaneuver them, they are terrible at braking if you dodge their charge. never allow them to get up to full speed by making them turn.
I generally stay pretty damn close to nearly everything I shoot, doesn't help with dodging death explosions, but helps with teaching you good dodging.
I barely ever walk in a straight line through a room, always some sidestepping
 
Sometimes if you do it right, both ghosts can get hung up on a bomb. I find that the most reliable way to get rid of them. But even then, The big guy kills me half the time. Usually when/if he lazors right against the wall. gets me every time.
 
@Virusboy How is that BS? There's not really much else to say.
 
@TrentHawkins I usually have less of a problem with the big guy. Basically, I don't follow him all the way to either side, and instead try to leave at least half the room to maneuver if he fires the beam
 
1:10 AM
I had an interesting issue on my last The Lost run through the chest: There was a Gurdy room, and the only entrance was from the top. Normally the game teleports you down to the bottom, but I had Isaac's Heart - which wasn't teleported with me. So it attempted to travel through Gurdy, took damage, and killed me.

How can I test my Eve launcher design on Kerbin to see that it has sufficient delta-v for the job? I'm looking for an un-modded solution, something that works in K...

Q: Looks through game reports in Battlefield 4

With Battlelog it is very cumbersome to go through each report and see how many kills, death, points, etc etc. I'd like to see a list like in bf4stats.

Yeah, at this point, vaccinations are clearly the "yelling fire in a crowded theatre" exception to parental rights.
If that's not obvious to everyone now, they should not be a parent.
 
@Yuuki Don't you know, parents are automatically right about anything even remotely related to raising their children
 
1:55 AM
She has a very valid point
 
@Virusboy Are you talking about the fictitious author of the Onion article?
 
/trolling

@Virusboy Saying something that just makes you sound ignorant is kind of the low-hanging fruit of trolling

Of course I know better

Q: How do I reprocess items in Vindictus?

SchwernSome items such as "Shadow Fang Helm" say "Kirstie may be able to reprocess it". I've gone to Kirstie but I can't find an option to reprocess.

 
@Virusboy I am not sure if we are genuinely having some difficulty communicating here or if you're just trying to make me think that we are
 
CHOCOLATE MILKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
 
@Yuuki Salt?
 
No vaccanate, why would you even think its ok not to.
 
2:02 AM
@Virusboy How about we just say that we agree on the main point here, and leave it at that?
 
Which is what
 
44 newly discovered astronomical objects in this system, c'mon Elite
 
> It’s [yellow fever] pretty much non-existent in the U.S.
So is was measles.
 
Bridge, I need help. I need you to choose which model to build (and paint!) next.
 
2:06 AM
@Frank Oh, found a shop that sells more Gundam/Gunpla model set thingies.
 
@Yuuki Yes, but Yellow Fever is generally not transmitted between humans. We also don't generally bother with antimalarials in North America because they aren't required here.
 
Choice #1: 00 QAN[T]
Choice #2: Nu Gundam
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I understand. It's just the whole "it's non-existent in the US" justification is part of why I assume the Disneyland measles outbreak occurred.
The other, of course, being that stupid vaccinations -> autism thing.
 
@Yuuki No, definitely not.
 
user15026
@Yuuki seethes quietly
 
2:08 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz nice
 
Choice #3: Build Strike
 
user15026
1 or 3
 
And lastly, choice #4: Exia Ignition
 
user15026
I stick with my choices
 
Okay, so half a vote each for 1 and 3.
 
2:10 AM
Build Strike does look kinda cool.
Although that may be in part because that pose is super-awesome.
 
I only recognize 1 of those Gundams. What am I doing with my life?
 
@Ktash That's probably a good thing.
 
@Frank Hmmm.... 5
 
@TrentHawkins Remind me to hit you when I get downstairs.
 
2:13 AM
@Frank Considering how into Gundam I was for years, maybe not :P
 
@Frank will do.
 
To be fair, the one I do is from Char's Counterattack, so at least I'm good on that front
 
Still need a choice! Build Strike is currently winning.
I think I've had the Build Strike the longest out of all of these, so I guess that's the one!
 
user15026
yay look we were helpful
 
My motivation for work is dwindling as my hunger grows

2:18 AM
@Ktash I am having a similar problem, but replace hunger for sleepiness
 
@Ktash food time :D
I suggest pizza
 
user15026
I did make a blog post today, and got a couple pages of my book in
 
user15026
so that counts
 
because I want pizza but I had tacos instead
 
@AshleyNunn Totally counts
@spugsley Nowhere delivers to me

2:19 AM
@Ktash that is sadness
 
@Ktash D:
@JasonBerkan Oh. My. God. My mom had to have her gall bladder removed about ten years back and I swear to god, we ate KFC like two days before that happened. Holy. Fucking. Shit.
 
I could get one from up the street, but they are expensive
 
@Ktash Same, but replace hunger with rage at the instructor.
And work for homework, I guess.
 
@Yuuki What homework?
 
Look at this UML class diagram I just made in Word/MS Paint!
 
2:22 AM
Hahaha, UML diagrams are always a great indication :)
 
I did not type any of that text myself.
It was all copy-pasted from the homework document, as required.
I also made the dashed arrows myself.
 
That's what I've been working on today
Well, implementation. The diagram is old at this point lol
 
@Ktash At least you're using dedicated software, I assume.
I'm cutting parts from the Word document with the Snipping Tool, pasting and rearrange on MS Paint, and then copy-pasting it back into Word.
 
@Yuuki Yeah, why would ever try and do a UML without the software lol. So much easier, and most of them are free
 
5 mins ago, by Yuuki
@Ktash Same, but replace hunger with rage at the instructor.
 
2:27 AM
heh, what, they won't let you?
 
@Ktash -30 points if we type anything ourselves.
 
Hand drawn? That's how all my UML diagrams start
 
I get the feeling that I wouldn't hate UML so much if it wasn't for this instructor.
 
Also, generate it with a tool?
 
@Ktash Can't draw anything either.
@Ktash Has to be cut/copy/paste from Word.
 
2:29 AM
Your instructor is a monster.
 
Your instructor seems to hate you all, and not want you to learn anything useful
 
 
You should report them for dumbassery.
 
Looking the homework specification makes me want to tear my face off just because of the terrible formatting.
 
@Yuuki Print it out, and literally cut and paste with scissors and glue :P
 
2:30 AM
@Ktash I'm so f--kin' tempted.
 
Seriously, you should
 
@Ktash I'd need to find a scanner since this has to be turned in online.
 
Because doing that would be far more useful than doing it the way you've been doing it now
 
And in person.
 
@Yuuki Picture with a camera or cellphone :)
 
2:31 AM
@Ktash I think she rejects anything that isn't a .docx. Although I could paste the resultant picture into a Word document...
 
DOIT
(I'm a bad influence)
 
I'm fairly certain that my MS Paint workaround isn't intended. If I get full marks on it, I'll push the envelope on the second homework assignment.
 
@Yuuki Is your professor trying to teach you to work in a Chart Brut style or something?
 
@Yuuki Your professor isn't a new faculty member is she?
 
@TimStone Considering I've seen her name as instructor on half the courses offered, I think she has tenure.
 
2:34 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz did someone say brut
 
Zero points for not plaugerizing?
 
@Yuuki If she's teaching half the courses offered, she probably doesn't have Tenure, and is probably an adjunct desperate to pick up literally any and all work to make ends meet.
 
Seems legit
 
@TimStone @Unionhawk I just got interdiced by a sidewinder with no shields...
 
That happened to me earlier :D
 
2:35 AM
The only viable reason I could see would be to encourage speed as opposed to fidelity. But that's the opposite of what it is accomplishing
 
I was like "srsly?" and killed him and continued on my way.
 
It happened .5 Ls fromt he station
how annoying
 
@GnomeSlice Which is in turn, a pun on Art Brut, which is what the French call...
The term outsider art was coined by art critic Roger Cardinal in 1972 as an English synonym for art brut (French: [aʁ bʁyt], "raw art" or "rough art"), a label created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture; Dubuffet focused particularly on art by those on the outside of the established art scene, such as psychiatric hospital patients and children. While Dubuffet's term is quite specific, the English term "outsider art" is often applied more broadly, to include certain self-taught or naïve art makers who were never institutionalized...
 
@Ktash The only thing this is accomplishing is making me hate UML.
 
2:36 AM
And of course, there's also:
Brut (French pronunciation: ​[bʁyt]) is the brand name for a line of men's grooming and fragrance products first launched in 1964 by Fabergé. The Brut line would grow to include aftershave, balms, and deodorant. Packaged in a green glass bottle with a silver-coloured medallion, it is still sold as of 2014. == History == In 1968, a budget range was marketed as Brut 33 because it contained 33% of the fragrance of the original product. Packaged in cheaper plastic bottles, it was described by the company as a "lighter fragrance." Fabergé was taken over by Unilever in 1989, and transferred to ...
 
@Yuuki I only ask because my university recently fired a professor who had come from Texas and she was a certain kind of...entertaining...in her teaching methods.
Incidentally I actually ended up teaching most of the classes, but y'know >_>
 
I think she has some kind of eastern European accent.
If that helps.
 
@Yuuki Diagrams like UML are awesome and save your life. Especially when you have to sit someone down and explain it. If you can just give them a UML, half your job is done. That's not what seems to be happening with your course
UMLs are also great mind maps
 
@Yuuki Ah, then not an incredibly unlikely coincidence :P
 
@OrigamiRobot How rude
 
2:38 AM
@Ktash Oh yes, I'm entirely certain that I would love UML if not for the asinine way we have to construct them in this class.
 
But I feel your pain. Well, sort of. I had enough pull that it didn't matter.
 
I should just get a Bachelor's in Computer Science from the Bridge School of Programming.
 
@Yuuki It would be infinitely more practical.
 
I swear I've learned more from you guys (and the guys in the A&M chat room) than I have in my classes.
 
user15026
I wonder what that course calendar would look like.
 
user15026
2:39 AM
I'd be the cafeteria lady giving everyone tasty food because I am not so useful otherwise
 
@Yuuki I had a class taught in XML and XSLT. And I don't mean that it was about XML and XSLT, I mean that's how it was taught. The entire site for the class, including the online homework, was built in XSLT
 
@AshleyNunn MW 7p-9p: BEARSCAPE (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying And Just Buy Games)
 
Parts all washed, and drying!
 
@Yuuki I'm a pretty tough grader, I wouldn't recommend signing up for my courses
 
user15026
@Ktash bribes you with cookies
 
2:40 AM
@Ktash bribes you with @spugsley
 
@AshleyNunn I do take bribes. Especially cookie bribes
 
So, Amazon has The Man In The High Castle pilot up now, and holy shit it's good and all of you should go watch it so that Amazon picks up the series.
 
@Yuuki :O
 
@Yuuki Well, I would take a @spugsley bribe from @spugsley in a heartbeat. But I don't think you can bribe with that
 
Also, just saw the ninja episode in Castle.
That was hilarious.
 
2:41 AM
@spugsley You're my ticket to getting an A in Professor @Ktash's class!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, @PrivatePansy was talking about how it was good the other day too
 
(TV Series based on an old Philip K Dick novel, kind of the progenitor of modern alternate history, set in Japanese Occupied California in the 60's, 20 years after the Axis won WWII)
 
@Yuuki pssssh I'll take the class and flaunt my wiles and get my OWN A. You gotta figure something else out
 
@TimStone watch it watch it watch it
 
MAYHAPS I SHALL
 
2:42 AM
@spugsley :O YES PLEASE
Though I might fail you just so you have to take it again and again and again...
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds intriguing
 
It's okay @Yuuki, you can take my class. I'm easily bribed with food.
 
I made a moon cookie!
 
@Chippies Was that entirely tonight? How many exposures in total?
 
2:49 AM
@MBraedley I don't have a tripod and I was just trying to get a nice picture of the moon, took a whole bunch, two looked okay
so I turned one around and stuck it with the other one
it's not full moon tonight :P
if you look at the patterns, they're the same on both sides
it looks quite awesome though, imho
we'll probably get a tripod sometime this week, that could result in some fun pictures
 
@Chippies Ha, didn't even notice that. But an interesting thing you can do is increase the exposure and capture earth-shine from the dark side of the moon.
 
@Sterno Archmages don't get the Staff of Recall, so they can't use the fortress. At least, my Archmage didn't get it.
It's okay; I'll be dead soon anyway.
 
@StrixVaria What? That doesn't sound right
 
They get a spell that works the same way but teleports them to mage-town instead.
 
You can then combine multiple exposures and get good detail on both the lit and unlit sides.
 
2:58 AM
Then when you leave mage-town you're at the entrance of the dungeon you were in instead of at the normal entrance.
 
Huh. I could have sworn mine had a rod of recall
 
(From the photo.SE weekly cover image challenge.)
 
@Sterno Maybe I just did something wrong.
 
@MBraedley I think you have to have some thingamajig that allows your camera to follow the movement of the moon
 
3:00 AM
So I did that elven ruins dungeon. Killed the level 38 boss of it, hoping to get some useful artifact. What'd I get? Ammo.
 
because after a certain while it the slight movement of the moon will create a blur
 
You sure it didn't just drop in a weird spot?
 
@Chippies Nope, you only need a second or so, which won't make much of a blur.
 
@MBraedley it does look awesome though :) Gonna do more long exposure shots when I get a tripod
I still need to learn about combining exposures and what not, I'm pretty much a novice with the camera
 
@Chippies I can't take the credit, it was this guy who should get it.
 
3:03 AM
@MBraedley yeah, I figured it's not your photo (since you took it from photo.se), but it still does look awesome :P
 
@StrixVaria I think I'm going to have to do a farportal or two for levels and gear hoping to get something to kill The Master
I'm going to be sad when I invest 3 hours into beefing up just to die anyway
 
we should totally do a D&D game in here
 
@Sterno Oh I probably missed it because the boss also spawns the exit or something.
Or maybe I died and never actually finished that dungeon.
 
Whoo, done with the gorram UMLs.
Now to write some code, take a screenshot of the code, and then paste that into a Word document.
 
Your professor might be a terrorist.
 
3:08 AM
So might Christains
 
@TimStone Or just completely obsessed with Word.
 
That's just cruel and unusual punishment though
 
Well, she does seem to be Eastern European, so she might be Russian.
 
@strixvaria I just unlocked Necromancer. Maybe I'll do that next.
 
@Sterno Ooh. Isn't that one tough to unlock?
 
3:14 AM
@StrixVaria Honestly, I don't know. I got it for killing the graveyard boss, but I'd done that before.
So I'm not sure what changed.
 
> Kill the necromancer Celia in the Last Hope Graveyard after reading all 4 necromancer lore.
 
Ah
I'm considering attempting Spellblaze
I SHOULD ABORT
 
@Sterno - I used a lifehack on my kid today!
 
@JasonBerkan Sounds illegal
 
I changed the iPad password to his name, so that he'll learn to spell it.
 
3:23 AM
Sneaky
 
... I miss declaring properties like public string foo { get; set; } already.
 
@Yuuki Properties are pretty unnecessary in school assignments. 'public string foo' is good enough.
 
@JasonBerkan Yeah, but the assignment is to write getters and setters.
 
So I'm writing lines of code that I could just accomplish with one in C#.
 
3:29 AM
@StrixVaria Well, I ran down the stairs, sprinted past the master deeper into the dungeon, and seem to have lost him. Now I'm digging tunnels everywhere and hoping I can separate him from that rare I can't hurt
 
I'm so sad.
 
I'm also building an escape tunnel that runs adjacent to the room I'll fight in, that I can phase door to and they can't follow
 
@Sterno Isn't phase door an arcane thing?
 
@StrixVaria Nope. Dwarven Racial
 
Oh nice.
 
3:33 AM
I guess it's not phase door. It's Stone Walk
I'm thinking Phase Door from Bard's Tale
 
... Why on earth is Disc derived from Track?
@TimStone Save me.
 
His annoying sidekick is dead!
 
@Sterno You should probably be able to take him now.
 
Dropped him once. One to go!

    return null;
}
Please tell me there's some devastating problem with my code that's handled in the first block.
Or I just might go insane.
 
@Yuuki What in the actual fuck?
 
@TimStone The other ridiculous problem I see is why on earth found is an int and not a bool.
 
Meh, that's not completely ridiculous

It's pretty ridiculous.
 
You're ridiculous
 
It would make sense if you're finding multiple artists in this search, but we're not. Just returning the first one found.
 
@Yuuki No it wouldn't
 
@Unionhawk Sue me, this code is making me go insane.
I can't think straight.

Please tell me there's some devastating problem with my code that's handled in the first block.
 
Using an int instead of a boolean, using compareTo() instead of equals()...the flag isn't needed at all and the loop could be a foreach instead, but that I'd agree is more pedantic than ridiculous. Those first bits though, ugh.

@TimStone I haven't used Java in awhile, so I didn't bother with looking at documentation and just copied what I needed from the first block.
 
Also is numberOfArtists really a member variable? |:
 
equals() would make things simpler.
@TimStone Yes, I want to cry.
I should've replaced it with artists.length in my implementation, but again, I can't think straight right now.
 
    private Artist getArtist(String name) {
        for (Artist artist : this.artists) {
            if (artist.getName().equals(name)) {
                return artist;
            }
        }

        return null;
    }

Yeah, I forgot how foreach works in Java.
 
I should learn java...

You could be a real smartass and use Java 8 lambdas
 
Not sure if we're using Java 8.
I know I had to install an old version of Netbeans.
6.9.1?
 
That's trolls
Your professor is a troll
 
Libraries -> JDK 1.6
Yeah, we're not using Java 8.
Someone. Someone please save me.
Well, I guess I'll stop by office hours and present my (and your) shorter code.
See if I can at least wrangle some bonus points for dealing with this insanity.
 
private Artist getArtist(String name) {
    return Arrays.asList(this.artists).stream().filter((a) -> a.getName().equals(name)).findFirst().orElse(null);
}
...is probably the lambda way but too lazy to verify
 
wat
 
5:08 AM
...Unclear why findFirst() has no equivalent that doesn't require a filter first but whatever.
 
I'd just use Ctrl+F
 
^ That, that is what you should tell your professor.
I mean, probably not if you want to pass the class, but otherwise it's hilarious.

Q: The minimal path to build all Warframes?

Code ClownIn regard of planet unlocking and ease of part building and resource collecting. From the starting Warframes not picking Mag is best (what I did) as she becomes accessible early. The beginning would be: Exaclibur Rhino Mag Nyx Ember Which one next...? Hydroid blueprints can be farmed on eart...

@Yuuki Anyone who even thinks about doing this should not be allowed to even think about teaching people how to program.
@Yuuki Your professor is completely terrible. Like for real.

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Riddles.SE?
 
@StrixVaria Heya. about the thingy, I asked in my answer on Meta when it is 'approved' and the tag can be applied. So far there have been 5 upvotes, and no downvotes nor negative comments.

@Chippies Just noticed this, I'm on the fence, I'm giving it a couple more listens to see if I like it or not.
@AshleyNunn @StrixVaria Alestorm is starting a tour today in the US/Canada, if they play near you: go watch them, their shows are always a ton of fun.

@Arperum Seriously. His professor is dumb.
@Yuuki should ask his professor why he's so dumb.
