@arda (puke)
 
I don't think I understand the touchbar. I have a touch screen, and I barely use it.
 
(apple store is down atm, but yeah, you can see it when it's back)
 
@Arperum dude it's like bar overflow
 
6:01 PM
@Yuuki Ooo, a loading screen for your store
How nice
 
we've lost track of how much more number per unit of barness you get
 
basically this, plus a tiny usb part
 
@badp THE LENGTHS ARE INCONSISTENT. AND THE PERCENTAGES MEAN NOTHING
 
@arda NOT EVEN A HUB
 
@PrivatePansy It's very courageous.
 
6:04 PM
On an unrelated note, CBS has a new show about how millennials don't know about outside and I hate the entire concept
 
@Arperum DUDE YOU GET 130% POLYGON PER POLYGON
you ask the macbook to draw you a triangle
boom you get a rhombus
future
so many more pixels per pixels
 
@Unionhawk You mean that MMORPG where they're picking the next guild leader in two week's time?
 
> I've been doing all of this painting and cutting completely fearlessly, because I know I can use the Touch Bar to scroll all the way through my visual history without losing any of my work.
F E A R L E S S N E S S
it's the new courage
 
@PrivatePansy No I mean specifically relating to camping
 
Nah, courage is acting in spite of fear, stupidity is acting without fear
 
6:06 PM
Oh, I thought r/outside is leaking again
 
As an Eagle Scout, Divemaster, and Rope Captain
 
@Unionhawk Are those Prestige Classes?
 
OOHOOOOHOOH
I knew I saw it in one of the pictures too
 
I'm going to pretend that question was never asked
 
@Unionhawk yeah i only ever made rope sergeant
but if you were pro much you could get Rope General
 
6:09 PM
There's a puppy at this brewery. He's an excited little guy
 
@Unionhawk pls rate this pupper
 
@GodEmperorDune 13/10

> MS is working to bring Office to MacBook Pro with Touch Bar support.
 
 
6:11 PM
> Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, and even Skype for Business.
can you imagine
Microsoft Office
with a toolbar
liek
it's the future men
 
@GodEmperorDune 12/10 would pet
 
Ask toolbar for macbook pro touch thingy confirmed?
 
OFFICE TOOLBARS ARE THE FUTURE
 
@Unionhawk noice. i expect regular pupdates
 
PEOPLE WHINED ABOUT THE RIBBON
NOW YOU CAN HAVE THE RIBBON AND THE TOOLBARS
 
6:13 PM
wut?! the ribbon is invading the keyboard
 
I still don't understand, is that really bezel that prevents the esc key from being in the right place?
And if so...srsly?
 
No esc key
 
@TimStone why are you so stuck in the past
this is the future now
 
@Unionhawk The virtual one :P
 
people in the past used windows that would only take a fraction of the screen and like an F19 button or whatnot and they thought they were happy
 
6:14 PM
Like I think they couldn't take the time to figure out how to avoid side bezels on the touchbar
 
but this is the future
and the future is toolbars and maximized windows and hunting and pecking
 
@GodEmperorDune there is another doggo here also
 
@badp I want an F19 button, I only have an G18
 
fuck your muscle memory
my laptop has an airhorn button
 
this is @Wipqozn level of worst
 
6:16 PM
@badp I'm sure someone responsible like you will only use such a power for good
 
@PrivatePansy I WILL BIND ALL OF MY KEYBOARD TO "AIRHORN"
AIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIR‌​HORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORNAIRHORN

First off, half arrow keys are the devil
 
seriously, why did they move escape?

Q: Is there a way to "fight back" against l337ist users on here?

King of NESSeriously, some of you need to chill yourself out. You are NOT special, you just waste your time and ours.

 
THEY MADE IT BIGGER
 
6:19 PM
 
"We knew you might miss the physical escape key on this model so on this other model we gave you extra escape key!"
 
emacs users are going to be pissed
 
the pleb 13" model still has your precious function keys
pleb
$300 for the touch bar and two ports
 
these are pro muchn't
 
$1800 for 8GB RAM can GTFO
 
6:20 PM
@badp Ports and bars don't grow on trees, you know
 
@SepiaLazers That's not going to end well.
 
@badp uhmm
did they name both models "macbook pro"?
 
Yes
 
COURAGE
 
@Frank ah, that user
 
6:22 PM
@SepiaLazers OH YESSSSSSSSS DRAMAAAAAAA
 
@arda I called the new MackBook the MacBook MacBook.
This one can the the Pro MacBook Pro
 
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat wherein fredley is a pretty rad guy [+murder] [+pedantry] [+wrong] [-drama] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [-popcorn]
 
(I like drama, but yeah, I act seriously against them)
 
this drama is weak, there are no details
 
(Drama meta vs other meta difference is well, I engage more on drama meta)
 
6:24 PM
Don’t sell your company!
Heh
@badp Does the 15" model also have half arrow keys?
trololololol
 
@TimStone context?
 
@GodEmperorDune he's the user who posted the same game id twice, except the second one had an image
 
@GodEmperorDune he's the founder of vine
he sold it to twitter afaik
 
^ that
 
and twitter is now stopping supporting it.
 
6:26 PM
@Unionhawk And he posted that opinionated question about the video game market crashing, which got heavily downvoted.
 
Oh I didn't realize that was also him
 
@arda ouch
 
so twitter is dying... i am only concerned about what will happen to dog_rates and the war with everythinggoats
 
6:29 PM
@TimStone I guess it's partly the angle but it seems like the touchpad is obnoxiously big and the keyboard could have not been squashed all to hell
BUT WHO TYPES AM I RIGHT?
 
> We have the best watches, best tablets, and best smartphones.
 
Oh shit
 
Apple is going to build an iWall next
 
@TimStone keyboard seems weird
 
I didn't realize that a stipulation of the AB/Miller deal was that it AB would stop buying crafts
 
6:30 PM
Like, would that even have haptic feedback or whatever it's called
 
looooooooool
What is this nonsense?
 
OH OH OH MYO GOD
OH MY HOD
IM HEARING GUNFIRES
 
o_o
 
Apple can't compare their laptop to a Surface so they're putting it next to 25-year-old briefcase computer #appleevent
 
Stay safe, @arda :(
 
6:35 PM
(LIKELY SOMETHING ELSE BUT IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE FIREwORKS AND THE SKY DOESN'T GET LIT)
 
@TimStone What the hell.
 
You should just feel lucky they made it PCIe-based and extra thin for you even though you asked and your wallet pleaded for them not to
Also the Razor Blade Stealth is thinner still, so that's not even really a good gimmick
 
I hadn't even realized PCIe SSDs were a thing.
 
The real question with the touchbar is if you can make it marquee
 
@TimStone Oh, the good old days of <marquee>
 
6:46 PM
ok ok ok ok it seems that they fired huge fireworks for 29oct (hence the different sound, but I have no idea why the sky didn't get whatever it's called). Still, a govt shouldn't allow terrorism to get to a level where people can get scared as hell, confusing it with gunfire.
 
And don't forget <blink>
 
@arda keeping the populace scared is unfortunately often a feature, not a bug
 
7:02 PM
> "Password."
"datapicardwesleyworfrikerlaforge"
"Wow, that's long..."
"Not really, 6 characters minimum."
cc @Wipqozn @Ash @Frank
 
Would a real fan actually pick Wesley?
 
@Yuuki More secure than many others I know.
 
@StrixVaria See, that's the catch! He knows that you know that he's a real fan.
 
@Yuuki HUE
cc @Dragonrage @fredley on that pun
 
> "datapicardwesleyworfrikerlaforgelondon"
> "6 characters and a capital."
 
7:04 PM
Is the Enterprise not a capital ship?
 
In [9]: "\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE}"
Out[9]: 'Ä°'

In [10]: "\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE}".lower()
Out[10]: 'i̇'
@arda pls
 
@StrixVaria IIRC, it's an expeditionary vessel and usually not part of an active fleet.
 
(you might not see it but that's a small letter i with TWO dots on it)
...I think chrome has disbelieved the double-dotted i
 
That's the capital i/I in turkish
I don't have turkish keyboard so can't post it but yeah it's the thingy you posted
 
you guys should just have gotten ı/I and i/İ as completely different codepoints
instead of piggybacking on the latin i/I and causing mayhem everywhere
 
7:11 PM
There's many problems with turkish language and stuff, that's hardly the biggest issue
But yeah that's also a big issue
 
@Yuuki Excellentr
 
I've made a big mistake: I started to read the comments.
I'm no longer reading the comments, but the damage has been done.

Q: How do medals work in Battlefield 1?

BaronGrivetI've been playing Battlefield 1 since it's launch and have yet to win a single medal, or show progress towards any medal. There are some medals which I should be showing progress on. For example the first checkbox for the "Order of the Iron Star" is "Get 20 kills as Assault". I've made over 200 ...

 
7:31 PM
Arstechnica has a westworld podcast?
Well I know how I'm spending the rest of today
 
> $AB: Did you forget your passphrase?
$Caller: No... It's just... Is it good enough to tell you there is an f-bomb in it?
$AB Did you forget your passphrase?
$Caller: Why, yes, yes I did forget my passphrase.
 
@Unionhawk yussssss
 
@GodEmperorDune (it's actually a TV podcast but they're covering Westworld until season end)
 
@Unionhawk They probably have a podcast about your mom too
OH WHAAAAT
 
Probably not tbh
My mom isn't that famous
 
7:40 PM
@Unionhawk unlike @Wipqozn's mom, who everyone is VERY familiar with
cc @Wipqozn on that sick burn
 
Everyone really does like my mom though. She's pretty rad, and makes people delicious baked goods.
 
@Wipqozn that's pretty cool, not gonna lie
 
@GodEmperorDune It is
 
Someday I want to be as cool as @Wipqozn's mum.
It's my life goal.
Since just now I guess.

Q: Why can't I move?

yash kushwahI recently installed Quantum Break on my machine and there were no errors. However, once I started playing, I was unable to move the character anywhere. How do I fix this?

 
7:47 PM
@Ronan well @Wipqozn's mom never voted to brexit, so there's that
 
@Wipqozn My mom doesn't bake that often, what with being celiac. But she does make fantastic gluten free deserts every now and then
 
I want some dessert now.
 
My mother makes gluten free desserts as well, since she had a gluten sensitive coworker
 
jeez, @Wipqozn's mom is a superhero
 
Although I think most deserts are gluten free anyway.
 
7:50 PM
You know, I think @Wipqozn is skipping out on the worst thing his mom ever did. She is responsible for @Wipqozn
 
@Ronan Cookies and cakes are typically not
 
@Unionhawk It's really difficult to grow wheat in a desert.
 
@KevinvanderVelden i retract my previous compliments
 
@Unionhawk Not much water you see.
 
Fuck
 
7:51 PM
@GodEmperorDune indeed, she is clearly some kind of super villain
 
Also, my mother recently broke her arm, so my coworkers all signed a card for her, since he's baked the office goodies quite a few times before. When she got the card she told me to apologize to them that she's not able to bake them anything until her arm is better. My mother is pretty ridiculous and awesome at the same time.
There @Unionhawk, I bolded your typo so it's more obvious to everyone
 
@KevinvanderVelden not quite a @badp level supervillian... unless her master plan is to kill them with kindness
 
I'm pretty sure chrome just corrects desert to dessert. Although not that time. I wonder how I knew.
 
It shouldn't
 
@Ronan soon you'll get your just deserts
 
7:53 PM
They're both words
 
@Unionhawk It does in the phrase "Bake a desert".
@GodEmperorDune Finally! I hate finding plains in my deserts.
 
What the hell charges.
There is also a percentual payment type fee.
This is just ridiculous.
 
> Visit exotic and erotic locations like the desert! A bus depot!
Turned gay by the enormous amount of time it takes to score a single point in the game 'Desert Bus'.
 
How have I only just found out about this?
 
@KevinvanderVelden This is why she is an otherwise awesome person, she is attempting to atone for the sins of her past.

@Yuuki makes sense

Q: How big are the digital updates for a physical copy of GTA V?

jamesI was wondering if I were to buy a physical copy of the game GTA V for Xbox One, how big would all the downloads (e.g. updates) be? Please try to be specific.

 
@Lazers2.0 why are so many people playing this terrible game?
 
@fredley Pounded in the butt by the monotony of Desert Bus sounds like a Chuck Tingle novel
A 5200 word novel!
Oh, good, there's a Brexit Chuck Tingle novel!
 
@Sterno i think that introduced the bridge to chuck tingle
 
Well, good. Brexit jokes will never get old
 
8:19 PM
@KevinvanderVelden we have to find it in our heart to forgive Marie for what she's done
@KevinvanderVelden Having a good relationship with urmom is very important
 
@badp nuhhuh, I'm an atheist. I don't need to do any of that forgiveness shit
 
@badp i have a good relationship with urmom
 
@GodEmperorDune don't we all have a good relationship with our collective urmom
moms are like the best
 
@badp no i meant specifically urmom
 
@GodEmperorDune yes Marie
mom to youn't all
I guess what I'm saying is
CHECKMATE ATHEISTS
 
8:27 PM
BUT WHAT IF ATHEISTS WERE PLAYING GO ALL ALONG?
 
oooooooooooooohhhh I bet you didn't see this one coming, MONTHS IN THE MAKING
with a classic last minute misdirection with negative pronouns
before delivering the final punchline
you just got owned you might want to sit down
 
@badp is the punchline your face? I think it'd make a good one
 
@KevinvanderVelden no, it's urmom
@Yuuki then it'd be the moral equivalent of
 
They're shutting down vine?
I guess Twitter really is struggling...
 
@RedRiderX eventually
@RedRiderX not really
 
8:33 PM
I heard they recently lost two big investments for not doing anything about toxicity or something.
Disney and Salesforce apparently.
 
@badp I feel like they are shutting it down not because they failed at monetizing but because they are reaching the end of their vc rope.
 
Blizzard really showed them up with the "ggez" text replacement.

Q: In Pokemon Go gym battles, how is Power, Energy, DPS related?

太極者無極而生In short, how is Power related to Energy and DPS and how does it matter? It seems Energy can be quite simple: fast move charge up energy level, and charge move requires a certain energy level, and once you use that charge move, will deplete that much energy. (Example, Hydro Pump require 100% Ene...

 
Which does show that not dealing with harassment does actually lose you money.
 
I'm not sure but it seems like they didn't even try to monetize Vine.
 
8:34 PM
@RedRiderX I think they're stopping it because they want people to upload videos directly to Twitter
though it'll destroy the culture of Vines
 
you technically can vine on twitter
 
@badp Help. I need to stop.
 
@Arperum still 8 to go, slacker
 
@Arperum if the stupid shop boy can't stop you nothing can
 
8:36 PM
@Yuuki It's amazing how far something will go.
 
All you can bank on is that some of achievements will be easier to complete in AB+
 
@Ronan like brexit
 
That however doesn't appear to have gone anywhere yet.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Most of them are for beat the game on "EverythingIsUnfair Hard" difficulty with character X.
 
@GodEmperorDune I think @Ronan doesn't like brexit jokes as much as @fredley
 
8:38 PM
'like'
 
I'm fine with actual brexit jokes.
 
@fredley Yes. Because you actually like misery.
 
@Ronan don't worry you won't find any here
 
the joke is that you guys actually voted to leave the EU
 
@Arperum just because he has a lot of misery with the surgery on the crotch area you don't want to think off, doesn't mean he likes it
 
8:39 PM
Our main export is sadness and memes
 
@KevinvanderVelden he also got multiple people to watch misery horse
 
@KevinvanderVelden we're helping him think of something else
 
Dammit, my power bill is already over $200, and I still have a week and a half left, plus base charges. Staying warm is expensive.

IT COULD BE WORSE THAT AT LEAST WE'RE NOT THURROCK
 
WE'RE NOT THURROCK
 
for the new gwent card game
should it be gwent or gwent-the-witcher-card-game
 
@Fredy31 Is it a computer card game or a physical card game?
 
Computer game
 
8:43 PM
Just should be fine.
 
I mean, I guess if I had my old thermostats installed, I'd be at $300 by now, so the new ones are paying for themselves.

Q: What happens if 2 scoiatel players play each other?

Fredy31In the new game from CD Projekt Red, the Scoiatel players can decide who goes first on the first turn. But if 2 scoiatel players play each other, does one choose? What happens?

 
Apple: there is no escape

So I'm looking at easing functions and I'm little confused as to how the assignment operator works in this case.
 
8:54 PM
 
-c * ((t = t / d - 1) * t * t * t - 1) + b;
What does (t = t / d - 1) evaluate to assuming that all variable are numbers?
 
@Yuuki = binds weakest? So true / false?
 
@fredley can't stop waatching
 
Messing with JSFiddle, it seems that it evaluates to the value being assigned.
So if t = 1, (t = t / 2 - 1) evaluates to -1.5.
 
@Yuuki Oh wait, it's = not ==
It's been a long day
 
8:58 PM
I'm wondering that assignment accomplishes though.
 
@Yuuki In some languages assignment will return the value, in others it won't. I'm assuming though, for this example it doesn't make sense if it doesn't

Q: What Would Happen to my Minecraft Pocket Edition Worlds if the Level Chunk Format were Changed in version 0.17

Robert LaneI read one of Tommaso's Twitter posts asking how much people would hate it if he changed the Level Chunk Format in version 0.17. What exactly does that mean? Would my current worlds be corrupted? Or will it automatically convert to the new format like on version 0.9.0?

 
@fredley those other languages make me a bit sad
@Yuuki but the question is, will the t's outside of the parens be the old or the new value
is evaluation order in that language well defined?
(if it is you can't do optimizations!)
 
@badp It's JavaScript?
 
@Yuuki ew
 
@Yuuki I dunno about javascript in particular
> x = 3
3
> x += x + (x += 1)
10
so um x went up by 7...
which is 3 + 4...
so I guess in this case x += 1 was evaluated after x
and x += x + (x += 1) was evaluated after (x += 1)
 
@Sterno Of course this is Zoe Quinn, lol
 
9:16 PM
but will all other versions of all other browsers do the same? iunno
 
> Our exquisitely handcrafted smut puts the anal in artisanal
hahahaha
 
@badp Stepping through the algorithm some more, it seems like the assignment doesn't actually do anything in this regard.
Which is making me question why it's there.
 
@Yuuki maybe making you wonder is the point!
 
Followed the white Github rabbit and ended up here.
Maybe this'll help.
 
so I spent last 15 minutes going crazy over why I couldn't set permissions of a file
...turns out I was ssh'd into my server
 
9:26 PM
speaking of things getting acquired by other things
which wasn't the topic at all
Vessel got bought by Verizon
(and shut down)
that's another one for ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com
 
@badp that's a depressing blog
 
@arda getting acquired is like a startup founder's ultimate victory condition
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
if your thing gets shut down in the progress, ehhh
at least the people that worked for you aren't in the middle of a street
probably
 
Creating a startup is more than $$$
It's about creating something that's truly your own, that helps people. At least that's what I stand by.
well, I guess that you're already at a victory state by my standards when you get acquired
 
@arda There's a certain amount of money that trumps idealism.
How much money that is varies depending on various factors.
 
A startup is a very money-negative activity. You either get funded, get acquired, or go broke
 
9:41 PM
Also, being acquired doesn't necessarily mean you stop doing what you're doing.
 
Or, in the very unusual case, turn a profit, do an IPO, and become a significant company
 
@murgatroid99 And then be dogged constantly about how you're actually going to monetize.
 
@Yuuki see also: Twitter
 
Okay, I think I have a better understanding of how these easing functions work.
 
@Yuuki Some companies that Google has acquired definitely still do what they used to do
 
Didn't @arda have a coupon for that?
 
I have +%15 off coupon (can be combined) if anyone is interested, yeah.
 
@arda I'll have to remember when I get home.
Forgot to ask last night.
 
I can send a trade right now if you want
 
@arda At work and haven't installed Steam Mobile on my phone yet.
Also, I don't remember if I've added you on Steam. I think I have, but I'm not certain.
 
9:55 PM
You do have me added + I just sent you the coupon. Accept whenever you get time.
 
@arda how would you combine a coupon with IG purchase?
Hm, nevermind, it's 40% off on steam as well
