@PrivatePansy Don't forget to replace all "..." ellipses with "................................"
 
@Yuuki ..............................
@PrivatePansy ..............................
 
@gnome how do you even play this game?
I can't get above 2 meters
 
@fredley You don't
 
I just fall over
 
2:05 PM
@Unionhawk ...............................................
 
Serious note though, I remember one fanfiction that I dropped about half a paragraph in when I saw that every third or fourth word or so had a super-long ellipses after it.
 
Just I can't even... the "said" replacements are just... what in the fuck
I can't
Nope
 
@Unionhawk "Wow, that's amazing," she ejaculated
 
NOPE
NOPEQUIT
 
@Yuuki ".......... it's nothing" ejaculated the character who could explain the whole plot but chooses not to
 
2:08 PM
@originaluser 10/10 would fanfic again
 
@originaluser Needs more "........................"
 
The scary thing to me is
People actually write like that
I can't even
 
@fredley don't try to run too fast
 
Can you write in an awesome Scottish accent? No? Then you cannot fanfic!
 
My example isn't really a fair criticism of fanfiction, since actual real writers do it too
 
2:11 PM
@originaluser I would love to see an ellipsis with 8 periods in it survive past any editor
Or someone using ejaculated in that manner
 
@PrivatePansy Those are now my goals in life
 
@originaluser No. Get out.
 
Programming? Fuck it. I've got to sneak goofy stuff into writing.
 
GET OUT OF MY OFFICE
 
Developer accused of unreadable code refuses to comment
 
2:13 PM
@GnomeSlice Still hilarious
 
Hey all, is there a way to join this chat through an IRC client..?
 
You can probably sneak almost anything past an editor if you claim it was generated by Markov Chain
and you're submitting it to a journal
 
@Akselmo not that I'm aware of. Maybe though, I think it's based on IRCA
IRC*
 
Gotta do some googling then heh
 
I don't think so... hang on let me look into it real fast
 
2:14 PM
I'm trying really hard not to burst out laughing at work while thinking about a scientific journal doing all this fanfiction stuff
 
@Akselmo No
 
@GnomeSlice ... no it is not based on IRC why would you think it is based on IRC?
 
I thought it was
Shrug
 
looks at shiny websockets Nope, no IRC here
 
Ah well
 
2:15 PM
What's a web socket
 
@KevinvanderVelden You're a web socket
 
Pinkie's mane in the latest episode is completely ridiculous and amazing gfycat.com/ThoughtfulAffectionateIndianpangolin
 
Would've just been handy to have this chat open in my IRC client :P
 
Seriously: IRC does not have 90% of the things this chat has
 
@Akselmo A read-only IRC interface is probably possible
 
2:16 PM
(Also, this chat does not have 90% of the things IRC has)
 
I am aware of that
 
@PrivatePansy read-write might be possible as well, it just has not been made
 
@PrivatePansy Yeah probably
 
> WebSockets is an advanced technology that makes it possible to open an interactive communication session between the user's browser and a server. With this API, you can send messages to a server and receive event-driven responses without having to poll the server for a reply.
@KevinvanderVelden Write is probably a few order of magnitude more difficult.
Read is pretty trivial since chat is mostly public
 
Don't have any problem with this webchat tho so I guess I'll just start idling here from time to time :P
 
2:18 PM
Here's as close as I can find but it looks like it only works on chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/77, specifically, last commit in 2010... so yeah
That wouldn't really work at all
 
@Unionhawk Don't think chat was using WebSockets in 2010
But then again you can probably force it to go back to polling
 
@PrivatePansy doesn't have to be. You could just create an application that has a hidden browser and an IRC server and interact that way
 
@PrivatePansy Possibly not
Dunno

Q: Are horses slower with armor?

AlagarosRecently I was watching a Minecraft stream and it looked like horses with armor where slower then the one's without. Is this a thing or are some horses just faster then the others?

 
Again, it also looks from the little description that it only works(ed?) for one particular room on chat.SO
 
2:20 PM
@Unionhawk If it worked for one room I don't see how it wouldn't work for the others
 
@Lazers2.0 I know I didn't get enough sleep last night, but when I tabbed back to this window, at a glance I thought that said something about horses showering with armor.
 
@PrivatePansy I don't know
 
Wow, it really is proof of concept
It relies on you copying over your login cookie to the application
 
hahaha wut
 
I never realized until now, but the flag for my hometown is atrocious. And what's worse is that a design used on the coat of arms would make for a pretty awesome flag.
 
$5 says Apple will not allow it
 
@Unionhawk I dunno, that could cause legal issues (anti-trust and such)
 
@KevinvanderVelden Apple has literally and figuratively never cared about that
 
@Rapitor Eh, there's even a vending machine for pizza.
 
2:33 PM
@Rapitor Wasn't there something about a chili vending machine?
 
@Unionhawk well yeah, but microsoft is quite a bit bigger than most app-makers
 
@Rapitor I'm slightly worried by their "happines...sand a side" line. If they can't get the website right, can they really get robo burritos right?
 
They can actually afford the lawyers
 
They've been rejecting pebble stuff since apple watch
And they automatically reject things with "android" in the description
So...
 
Apple did have that "Apple maps" thing, where they tried to stamp out iOS Google maps, but it ended pretty poorly. They already have a working Siri, though, so it'll be interesting to see how they respond to Cortana

Q: Where can I find heavy armor?

cbirdsongI'm a dozen or so hours into the second region and I still haven't found a single piece of heavy armor. I was hoping to specialize in that, but I haven't found any. Where should I go to get some early on?

 
@Unionhawk I bet microsoft's lawyers are salivating at the thought of the lawsuits
 
Also damn you @Rapitor, I guess I'm heading to Chipotle for lunch today
 
@originaluser Siri works? It must be my Canadian accent, because I can never get it to understand a thing I say.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Hopefully!
That would be fantastic
And maybe end (some) of the App Store's dickish rejection rules
 
@JasonBerkan I've never used it myself, but my friends and family are obsessed with it. We're midwesterners, which as far as accents go is supposed to be the most "mild". I love that voice processing has gotten so much better but only for specific dialects.
 
2:37 PM
@originaluser Midwestern is how they teach radio broadcasters to speak.
Ohioan, more specifically
 
@originaluser This reminds me of that episode of Better Off Ted with the people sensor that could only detect white people.
 
Personally, never used Siri. Have had good results with google voice matching though
 
@Unionhawk I kinda want Google to collaborate with Valve so Android can get GlaDOS as the official "assistant".
 
Holy shit
I didn't know I wanted this until just now
Like, right just now
 
@originaluser I suck at language type stuff, but my accent should be fairly close to that (with the exception of the entire a-boat thing).
 
2:41 PM
> "GlaDOS, find me a restaurant."
> "I'm not sure consuming more food is appropriate given your enormous weight. Fatty. Fatty fatty no-parents."
 
@JasonBerkan That's weird, then. It might have something to do with the pitch of your voice or the quality of your microphone.
 
God dammit @Rapitor
 
I definitely wouldn't want driving directions from GlaDOS
 
I didn't want to walk to chipotle
But now I'm required by law to
God. Dammit.
AND THE WEATHER IS NICE SO I CAN'T USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE
 
2:43 PM
Is this real life
What
 
No, someone did a spoof.
 
Oh
So it's fake life then
:(
 
It's just fantasy
 
But it's kinda what I want.
 
NO ESCAPE FROM REALITY
Also: like a crazy person, I reinstalled Payday 2 BUT! For reasons.
Apparently, they've been doing some work. Example: sensor mines mark guards in stealth
(and special units in loud)
Does reinstalling that game constitute masochism? Probably.
 
2:48 PM
If you did not enjoy playing it, then yes.
 
I mean, I enjoyed it at the time but it got stale
But now it's like a whole new game
 
@Unionhawk But is that whole new game fun?
 
Hooooooooooooooooooooooomeeeeeeeee tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
Cya chat!
 
@Yuuki That's what I'm going to attempt to find out.
Eventually
 
@Unionhawk The slew of DLC is outrageous, though.
 
2:51 PM
@5pike Yes
I agree
I can handle heists as DLC, weapon packs not as much. I agree.
 
I played the Hotline Miami mission a bunch (because the new music is baller as hell), but I lost interest soon after.
 
Part of the thing is they eliminated assassin style gameplay. Like, completely.
 
The DLC tend to get dirt cheap during specials sales. I think I got 4 packs for ~ 3 €.
 
You could probably do it for like, jewelry store I guess
And I think even diamond store
 
Eh, I don't really want to go back to payday 2, except I find some peeps which I can play it.
 
2:54 PM
Not sure about the small banks, but like, how we did framing frame? Right out.
 
@Unionhawk So... we can't do the whole "kill everyone and stash them in the guard room and still stealth the entire mission" thing anymore?
 
@Yuuki Negative. Generally there are more than 4 to take care of.
 
@Unionhawk :(
 
You got to be real sneaky now
Which is hard when moving gold
 
whoops
 
2:55 PM
It was so funny seeing the room littered with body bags.
 
just broke my box at home
now I have no ssh tunnel :(
 
@Yuuki There's a skill now made just for @kalina that reduces cleaner costs by 75%
 
@Unionhawk ... Cleaner costs?
 
The sniper weapons in payday 2 are OP as all hell. Even the standard one kills pretty much everything (except dosers) with 1 headshot.
 
The cash penalty for killing civilians
 
2:57 PM
Ah.
 
@5pike I am personally extremely interested in the double barrel shotgun buffs and additions
 
Ugh, I can't find my FE: Awakening so I'm kinda tempted to buy the digital version.
Or... I could just wait for the next FE to come out.
But that's next year, I think.
 
@Unionhawk The normal double barrel?
 
The only one in the game, plus they added one in the shotgun DLC iirc
I used that thing all the time
Because I enjoy just shooting a dude once and he ded
or just shooting once into a crowd and they ded
 
@Unionhawk Alright, I can tell you this - do NOT add the short barrel and short stock attachments - both make the gun absolutely terrible
Short barrel = no range
short stock = no recoil control
 
3:00 PM
Short stock = take your time with the shots then
 
@Unionhawk Sometimes you can't. Like when dozers surround you.
 
True
 
And that happens quite a lot on harder difficulties
Well, g2g.
later
 
3:20 PM
hmm...
I think
I need more caffeine
zzz
 
Morning, Bridge
How was everyone's long weekend?

@SaintWacko Full of doing nothing. It was everything I expected.
 
I spent mine in New Orleans!
So much good food
 
@SaintWacko Terrible.
 
3:29 PM
@fredley Oh?
 
@SaintWacko allergic reacting to my meds.
 
@fredley Oh geez
Are you okay?
 
@SaintWacko I'm covered in a awful rash, but apart from that, and my surgical wounds, I guess so.
 
@fredley Well, that's good. At least you didn't end up in the hospital in shock
 
@SaintWacko Yeah! Silver lining and all that.
 
3:37 PM
@originaluser you are welcome.
 
I suppose I should walk over and get my lunch before there are a bajillion people there

Q: Up arrow key gets stuck while playing NFS Hot Pursuit

motiurhello, so I am playing NFS Hot Pursuit, it was initially fine and dandy, unfortunately after couple of days of playing, my uparrow/accelerate key started getting stuck while racing. I do press a lot the uparrow key, almost the entire time, and the left and right key occasionally to move sideways....

 
4:12 PM
Do we have any Californians here?
 
Here, in general, yes. Here, currently, probably not

Q: Why am I getting an error with 'throw new Error'?

Agent ZebraWhy am I getting the following error with this simple code below when testing on a node server? code/app2/i.js:35 throw new Error("here") ^ Error: here I'm actually expecting to see a stack trace (as per the book 'Smashing node.js'), but that's not happening. Here's the ...

Just got a literal f--kton of rain last night.
A couple major highways were flooded.
Looks to be more rain tonight and perhaps all week, so as a Texan:
 
Word on the street is that MS Spartan's version string looks like this

Gee thanks Microsoft.
 
4:22 PM
The edit history is pretty gold
 
@Yuuki time to invest in a canoe
 
@StrixVaria I've watched 2 seasons of AD in the last 2 days
Highly recommended binge material
 
@Powerlord wat
 
@Unionhawk It's claiming to be Firefox, Safari, and Chrome in addition to itself.
 
43 secs ago, by Unionhawk
@Powerlord wat
 
4:24 PM
@fredley I stupidly never finished watching the 3rd season.
 
@StrixVaria uwot m8
 
I feel like I should just start over at this point since I've heard so much about its re-watch glory.
 
@StrixVaria The glory is real
 
It's a great series. I never saw season 4 because I don't have netflix and I heard it's not as good
 
@Powerlord Still surprisingly long

Q: FTB Server Error: CONSTRUCTING

UltimatetlyATwatAfter a long time to trying and figure out how to launch the server from my recentlty new pc, i keep on seeing the same error everytime i am trying to install the server. ---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- // Oh - I know what I did wrong! Time: 26/05/15 18:04 Description: Exception in ...

 
@Lazers2.0 that username just what
 
@Unionhawk The title does not match the question. Fixed.
 
u fucking wot m8
@fredley You're the hero this user deserves
 
As far as I understand, I don't think that question deserved that many downvotes.
Just had a poorly-worded title.
 
4:32 PM
@Unionhawk I'm the hero this user doesn't deserve
 
@fredley But you're the hero this user needs then
 
@Yuuki Yeah. A lot of people only reading the first few lines.
 
@PrivatePansy Aaaand now I'm reminded of that xkcd comic about the flower with the special pattern for a bee that is now extinct.
Silly https
Although apparently it has since been debunked in that there are bees that pollinate that orchid.
It's just that it prefers self-pollination.
 
...was just looking at a function someone posted on SO for detecting various IE versions
It returns the IE version.... or false.
Not 0, false.
 
4:41 PM
what why how
who
 
Where'd my cluebat go...
 
I mean, technically can be interpreted as 0? Or as in it returns the string "false"?
Actually, no. false+1=NaN, probably
 
@Unionhawk false probably is 0 in JavaScript, but it's still a bad idea to mix types like that.
 
But I wouldn't put it past js to be something stupider than that
Like false+1==true
I guess in js you don't declare a return type at function declaration. That's right. I forgot.
 
Urgh. UX for the app I'm working on is getting confusing
I have it set up right now so there's a left sidebar which is used for main navigation and interaction
a top toolbar as well was requested
and now the possibility of a bottom toolbar is being floated as well

Q: Need help on /kill command an usage of @e

Lord_StarkenHi everybody I need some help on minecraft. I made a command : /kill @e[type=!Player,ArmorStand] and it didn't worked What I want : A command that kill every entity except ArmorStand and Players I am not a boss in command so please help me fast I really need it

 
@originaluser lol someoen needs to go back to the spec
 
@djsmiley2k Yeah, I really don't want to implement another toolbar. Two already feels like we're pushing the limits, but I guess the concern was just one toolbar was becoming too cluttered
 
pagination
of the toolbar :<
 
Put a toolbar on the toolbar.
 
4:57 PM
The toolbar that shows what other toolbars you can download.
 
Put a toolbar in the toolbar
 
Yo dawg
 
I'm going to hand in a wireframe that is just toolbars and nothing else
 
Perfect
 
@Unionhawk "i have it how i like it"
