Yay (not really), I get to fight the city/province on my property assessment over the next couple of months.
 
> "Why is requirejs not getting the init function from this module?"
> "Oh. I forgot to return the function mappings in the module."
Spent half an hour on that.
 
@Yuuki yay, javascript
 
I'm a smart guy.
 
the more I think about it
the more the NSfw is Apple design paradise
think about it
you have a console
most of the time it's going to be sitting in the tv connection and charging dongle
the rest of the time it's probably going to be connected directly to the controller dongles
 
GUREATO DAYS
 
9:05 PM
when you're using the tv connection dongle then the controller dongles go on the dog dongle
 
speaking of "bad hombres"
 
the dog dongle might recharge the controller dongles
but when who charges the dog dongle
 
@badp well the head dongle connects to the neck dongle, the neck dongle connects to the shoulder dongle, the shoulder dongle connects to the chest dongle
 
Nintendo even showed off a car dongle
which is probably incompatible with the controller dongles
 
@badp Man, the your mom joke there is way too easy
 
9:07 PM
but then you don't use your dog dongle
 
@Yuuki Even after a couple of years of working with Node, I still managed to recently do exports = function() { ... }. Instead of module.exports, which would have actually done something useful.

Q: I've been hacked!

LonelyElfSome guy (or girl) hacked me in geometry dash! I woke up to check G.D. and I noticed most of my posts were gone, and There was a new one, posted around mid-night, that said "Hacked"! I went to load my data and it said "Sync failed please try again" so I refresh my login, and it says "Login failed...

 
@badp Apple?
 
@Yuuki sure. Courage. Vision. Future. Dongles. Apple.
I mean
Have you seen macbook people give presentations?
You first need to put the VGA dongle in the minidp port or whatever it is that they have
Then you plug in the clicker dongle
Say they don't trust the WiFi, then they need Ethernet, and that's another dongle
but hey Macbooks are perfect and you just gotta live the dongle life
ask @fredley for further details
He's a dongle enthusiast
He has many dongles, the best dongles, terrific dongles, and I have to make use of this meme while it's still relevant
 
@badp THE CHAIN JUST GOT 5 DONGLES LONGER
 
9:20 PM
So you just know
The "new Macbooks"
They're probably just dock dongles for your ipads
The iPad slides right in
Boom, instant laptop
Magic
 
Except it's not at all like the surface because that'd be silly who'd buy just a tablet
 
So, interesting update. You know how I said that I may have accidentally deleted my last two weeks of work?
 
@Yuuki No, but go on
 
I just found that I had a tab of it open.
So I went into the dev console and am now copying the scripts over.
 
Oh snap
 
9:23 PM
@Yuuki version control bruh
 
:D
 
yeah seriously
use version control
 
multiple tabs is not a version control system
 
Poor little @Yuuki
SO YOUNG
 
shaking at his lack of version control
 
9:23 PM
I was screwing around with version control and that's what deleted my two weeks of work originally.
 
Have you never used SVN or git before?
 
@Yuuki if committing your code deletes it, you are doing it wrong
 
@Yuuki wat
What were you using
 
@GodEmperorDune well yes I think he realized that
 
@GodEmperorDune It's a bit annoying to explain, but my code isn't supposed to be in the codebase because it's just me messing around with the libraries so I can learn them.
 
9:25 PM
@Yuuki are you on git? If so just create a new branch called YuukiBranch
 
And I needed to get the new master to learn the new stuff.
 
@Yuuki what version control tool are you using? most let you have privatish repos and things
 
@Wipqozn has the right idea
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, kinda learning that now.
 
git is great and does all tings
 
9:25 PM
Do you know what a rebase is?
 
I'll never go voluntarily go back to svn
 
No that's jQuery
 
@Wipqozn until you mess up the cli args and nuke stuff
 
You want a rebase
 
@Wipqozn no one likes svn
 
9:26 PM
@Unionhawk Your mom's a jQuery
@GodEmperorDune Not even svn
Honestly svn is fine until you start using it
 
@Yuuki If it's git, odds are that the stuff is still there
 
@Wipqozn svn is ehhhh as long as you never need to merge anything or have any branches or do any tagging or have more than one person working on the code
 
@MadScientist I hadn't committed and just reset the file/directory changes.
 
@GodEmperorDune unless you use git checkout or reset --hard and you didn't commit, everything you commit is in your git reflog
 
i mean it beats RCS and VSS but that's not saying much
 
9:27 PM
@GodEmperorDune yeah, that is my non-serious thoughts
 
The git reflog literally is your undo dropdown from Office
 
@Yuuki commit more often. I don't like to have anything more than a few hours worth of changes uncommited. It's hard to lose commited changes, but uncommited ones aren't well protected
 
git is nice in that you can also squash previous commits before pushing to the shared repo
 
@MadScientist Yeah, they really need to teach more source control. I was still fuzzy on the difference between committing and pushing.
But as long as I don't push this branch, no one should see it, right?
 
@Yuuki My college didn't teach source control at all.
 
9:31 PM
@Yuuki Yes. Without pushing all changes are local
 
@Frank yeah mine might have breifly touched on it, but not much
 
@MadScientist And then everytime the master updates and I need to update my branch, I just rebase my branch?
 
@Wipqozn They also didn't touch things like refactoring.
 
Given that I'm working only in test folders that I create, I shouldn't be running into any merge conflicts.
 
They taught project management and application architecture, but, hey, you don't need to know about these other tools that are kind of critical to the job.
 
9:32 PM
@Yuuki If you're on the same branch, git pull --rebase. Otherwise you just merge the branch once you're ready
 
my college version control was emailing project.timestamp.tar.gz around
 
@MadScientist Merge master into my branch? Because, IIRC, I shouldn't ever be merging my branch into master until I start working on more meaningful stuff.
 
@Yuuki try playing doom bots level 100
 
@Dragonrage Oh, doom bots is out?
 
yea
level 100 doom bots start with like 1-2k hp and 100 ad or ap
 
9:34 PM
Ugh, I hate only having 3 hours of Internet time to play games.
Getting through WQs on WoW and I'm already like halfway through my time.
 
@Yuuki Merge your branch into master. (there are endless variations of git workflows, so I'm making some assumptions here). But typically you develop a larger feature on a separate branch, and then merge once it is finished
 
@Yuuki welcome to adulting
 
@MadScientist But that means all the work I've done on my branch is now in master, right?
At this point in time, I don't want that.
If I want the changes in master to be reflected in my branch, then I merge master into my branch, right?
 
@GodEmperorDune No, adulting would be me moving out and actually having more time because right now, there's an Internet curfew in my house.
 
9:37 PM
fog creek had a decent tutorial on using DVCS but i can't find it
@Yuuki wat
 
@GodEmperorDune Someone in my household can't control their Internet usage.
And ends up staying up laaaaate into the night and can't wake up to go to school the next day.
 
well i dunno what the housing market in texas is, but if it's anything like southern california, bear the pain and soak up that rent free living as long as you can
 
@GodEmperorDune It's been getting worse, IIRC.
There's been talk that the renting market may collapse soon.
Prices are still rising despite the slow-down due to the oil/gas bust.
 
if you can save up enough to buy something instead of jumping from rental to rental, you will be at a huge financial advantage
 
@GodEmperorDune or, better yet, move to Nova Scotia and live in my closet
I'll only charge you $300 a month
I'll even let you program in PHP
 
9:43 PM
@Wipqozn is there enough room in there for something other than hipster bowties?
 
@GodEmperorDune +My bedroom closet is basically empty
It's on the opposite side of my bed so I'm too lazy to use it
I just hang up all my shirts in the closet next to my main entryway
@fredley you should do this to protest Brexit
 
> “family-size jar of low-sodium, creamy natural Jif” peanut butter
 
@Wipqozn except marmite, obv
 
@fredley I've never heard of this until now
 
@GodEmperorDune I'm pretty sure I have exactly that in my apartment
 
9:57 PM
> 'Fortunately it wasn’t chunky peanut butter, so vehicles didn’t get scratched,' said police
> When officers from Portage Co. Sheriff Department questioned Ms Ferguson, she claimed she hadn’t left her apartment that night, while allegedly licking her fingers repeatedly, according to the complaint.
This reads like an onion article

Q: No damage to my hero after installing Diablo 3 Reaper of souls

IgorAfter I installed a Diablo 3 Reaper of souls expansion, I created a new character and decided to restart from the beginning. But my character is not getting any damage and can not die. Anybody knows why? It renders game very easy and boring...

 
@fredley yeah figured that's where it was going before it even started
 
@Wipqozn make beer, then scrape out the black gunk from the bottom of the vat into a jar: marmite
 
cc @GodEmperorDune
Nice joke there @murgatroid99 and @StrixVaria
 
@Wipqozn Oh yeah I've been fooling around with Google Assistant too.
It's really weird.
 
10:37 PM
I haven't gotten Allo yet because I don't want another app just to talk to one chatbot
But I am getting a Pixel and a Google Home, so I'll be able to talk to it then
 
When you want your car to return, tap Summon on your phone. It will eventually find you even if you are on the other side of the country
 
Yeah Google making three chat apps is kind of frustrating.
I want to doodle and shout at people in hangouts, not get them to use another chat app.
 
The future is going to be amazing
This is literally shit out of like, Arkham City and Saints Row 4
 
@Unionhawk Once in Arkham City, the car screwed up its pathing and ended up running into a wall 15 feet away from me. I hope the Tesla doesn't do that
 
Yeah hopefully
Too bad we're probably never going to get to "your car phases into reality when you press summon" Saints Row 4 style
 
10:48 PM
@RedRiderX waitr what
 
@Unionhawk Didn't Saints Row 4 take place in virtual reality or something? I'm sure you'll be able to do that in real virtual reality too.
 
II thoguht it was pixel only?
 
@murgatroid99 that's true
 
@Wipqozn You can talk to it with Allo
 
@murgatroid99 ah okay
 
10:56 PM
@Unionhawk Can't wait for digistructed cars.
 
RIGHT
CATCH A RIIIIIIIIIIDE
 
@Wipqozn hue
 
user15026
@Unionhawk wait what how is that even
 
@Ash self driving cars are basically the best
 
@Ash well it knows where you are by subtracting where it isn't
 
11:01 PM
@GodEmperorDune lololol
but actually @Ash it just uses the GPS on your phone then kicks into self driving modfe
 
wait isn't tesla the one that killed people while on it's not quite autopilot?
 
I just read a Battlefield 1 review and now I want it
thank god it's only on origin
 
You'll be busy mocking @Wipqozn by playing Civ anyway

Q: Minecraft PE Update

PercyWhen does the Minecraft PE update start? Will there be Guardians? It says in the Xbox Live Achievements that you can spawn the Wither but it's not completely ready yet.

Q: Is it more beneficial to just kill everyone?

BenIn Fallout Shelter, there is a regular quest called the "Game Show", where you travel through a dwelling populated with Bandits asking you trivia about Fallout 3 and 4. If you get a question right, you get a prize (caps). If you get it wrong, they attack you, and when you kill them all, you get ...

 
11:19 PM
@GodEmperorDune Yes, but they just had a blog post about how they're transitioning to fully self-driving cars
 
@murgatroid99 so this is a future thing, not current functionality
 
And as I understand (about the two incidents I heard about), one involved a guy trying to shift blame when autopilot wasn't actually running, and the other involved the driver not paying attention to the road when they should have been (and a very difficult to see obstacle).
 
@TimStone That's true
 
@GodEmperorDune If you look at the tweet, it's in response to one linking to that blog post
Actually, it's linking to a video of a Tesla driving itself
 
@murgatroid99 that blog post was a video with no transcript
 
11:22 PM
@GodEmperorDune Here's the blog post
So, they already have working cars with that technology, but they're only just starting to put it into mass production
 
@murgatroid99 ah that makes more sense
i still trust google's self driving cars more than tesla's
 
that feel when you install a game that is 14 years old
 
@GodEmperorDune Why, exactly?
 
@murgatroid99 google's stuff comes with a certain polish, beta or no
plus they tend to send stuff out with a decent price point for what you're getting
and i've had good experiences with their myriad other products
 
@GodEmperorDune On the other hand, you can't actually get a Google self driving car
 
11:26 PM
@murgatroid99 well yeah there is that
 
Actually being available for purchase is generally a pretty good selling point
And honestly, if the Tesla car actually works well in adverse weather conditions like the blog post says, I might actually trust it more
 
also i haven't really forgiven elon musk for paypal and all the shadiness it had back in the day
 
On the other hand, Google has a lot of training data from driving around, and has published a lot of data about accident rates and such
 
11:43 PM
Guys I made two tweets in a row
I'm basically super popular now
 
i don't think that's how twitter works
 
@GodEmperorDune It probably is
 
user15026
@Wipqozn well arent you fancty
 
three tweets!
yeah I'm basically the @badp of twitter now
 
@Wipqozn soon twitter will change its logo to a turtle
 
11:53 PM
I bet I'll now go another 3 years without tweeting
