@LessPop_MoreFizz How do I know if the guy on the bus that sweated on me might have Ebola?
 
12:13 AM
We're about to roll out a configuration change to our load balancers to make them happier; hoping for no visible impact.
 
my power is going to be out for 8 hours tomorrow, apparently
 
That change has been rolled out. Let us know if you're seeing any problems.
 
12:28 AM
Shadows of Mordor is 36GB. I started the download like 2 hours ago and it's not done. Ugh.
 
@StrixVaria Ian loves it
he has been playing foreeeever
 
Yeah it looks awesome. I'd just like to be able to try it before I have to go to sleep tonight.
 
user15026
Recently someone in here recommended a show to me and I can't remember who or what :(
 
@AshleyNunn It wasn't me, but Breaking Bad was good.
 
Technology is wonderful.
 
user15026
12:38 AM
@StrixVaria I can't watch that show because it is basically just everything bad happening forever
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice sigh
 
@AshleyNunn This is true, although the last 8ish episodes made up for the entire struggle.
@GnomeSlice Explain why you posted this. Your answer determines whether you get banned.
 
sheesh
I was being sarcastic
was that seriously nsfw
 
@GnomeSlice Context is important.
 
Not for determining if something is nsfw
 
12:41 AM
An animated gif of boobs is always wrong, but if you posted it initially as a link to kotaku with a relevant description of "this dumb industry" or something then it's not a problem.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Considering you only posted it in an exercise of objectification, glorifying the fact that they made her damn boobs wobble.....
 
> Of note, they have also said they took some tech from Dead or Alive, including Fatal Frame's new boob physics.
there's your damn context
I just found that funny.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice All you needed to do was link the article with a quote or whatever and not just throw the gif in here with a remark about how tech is wonderful
 
user15026
remember, on the internet, no one can see your sarcasm
 
So I'm really enjoying Shadow of Mordor.
 
12:49 AM
Launching now!
Bye.
 
1:00 AM
We broke the mobile apps there for a moment, but everything should be good now. Let us know if you see any issues!
 
1:21 AM
Winrar
 
Hello all you wonderful people!
And @Wipqozn.
 
That was my second win ever
 
@Fluttershy Shadow fo Mordor is a lot of fun.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Hey you
 
@Fluttershy hihi :)
@Wipqozn Ian is loving it
he was mad he had to go out tonight
 
1:33 AM
@spugsley How annoying.
Speaking of not playing, I'm off to bed.
Later all.
 
@Wipqozn I'm picking it up on Friday! :D
 
I'm really glad they executed the nemesis system in that game well, and completely paranoid that the game is intentionally putting a nemesis right in my path on purpose.
 
@Unionhawk Ian got up and did a dance after he killed....someone painsomething
he hated that guy
 
@Fluttershy HI

Q: How to kill 20 Uruks in 2 minutes?

GaryIn Shadow of Mordor, to kill one of the War Chiefs, you have to kill 20 Uruks in 2 minutes. I have trouble with this one. The first time I tried it, there weren't enough Uruks to kill, so I had trouble reaching the limit. The second time I tried it, I managed to wait for an Uruk to call for rei...

Q: Can I stay at same level of greater rift?

hvgotcodesIt seems i can either upgrade my keystone or upgrade my gem. Is there a way to get my current keystone back at the end of the greater rift?

 
Well. Clicker slowed down a lot in the 90+ish range
so maybe just two ascensions today afterall :D
 
2:26 AM
@OrigamiRobot do you get 1 paragon per kitten after 70?
 
All hail the free return trajectory!
 
@GnomeSlice How do you hyper lik your own sentence to a link so that people can click on it?
@GnomeSlice Aren't you a game dev? I recall you being in the game dev chat a while ago.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice People find a way to ruin everything :(
 
@SaintWacko Hiya there?
 
@7Blue_Beast7 [message](link)
@7Blue_Beast7 Nope, I just go there sometimes.
 
2:54 AM
@GnomeSlice This is literally and figuratively why we can't have nice things.
 
@GnomeSlice I was thinking about that job but then its to much for me.
 
@GnomeSlice None of these are real actual products that exist.
 
Not yet.
They're still super cool.
It's all about the clickbait man.
 
@GnomeSlice Not yet - as in soon to be released?
 
@7Blue_Beast7 No. Not yet as in 'some designer made this in photoshop and it sounds cool.'
 
user15026
I was hoping it would be actual things like the Myo armband Thalmic Labs made
 
3:17 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz jaja
@LessPop_MoreFizz Does stack exchange allow different language sites?
 
@7Blue_Beast7 There are a few; mostly StackOverflow in $language, and the various sites for Q&A about a specific language and it's usage.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No.. no... I mean Languages like English, Filipino, that type of stuff?
 
@7Blue_Beast7 Yes, there are several.
 
I see 9 sites regarding language and usage (including english), plus StackOverflow in Portuguese
 
user15026
And there are various SO in language x site proposals
 
3:23 AM
I'm pretty sure there's several other proposals of other sites in other languages
 
Nice
 
Today in People Who Know People That I Know on Social Media, But Who Honestly, Shouldn't Be Allowed To Use Computers:
> Well considering that the only organization with the authority to possess the ebola strain is the CDC since they are the ones that own the patent to it. The ones that store it. the ones that experiment with it. How do you explain an outbreak like this occuring in the first place? Was it stolen from their disease banks by a terrorist or did they just include it in a few vaccines for shits and giggles. They do refer to themselves as the center for disease control after all.
> They have control of the dieases because they stockpile them and experiment with them. Then they inject them into you an tell you its good for you. Who would have guessed that the lab grown ebola strain would ever get out? Or what about the enterovurus68." Hmm only vaccinated kids get it. Thats queer.
> Whats a placebo? I dont get it. I'm gonna call my dr. ". Just like the whooping cough outbreaks and the measles outbreaks its the vaccinated kids that get sick. Anyone remember the lab born H1N1. " hmm where are these diseases coming from? only the cdc has the rights to these. maybe placing all authority and control over disease into a single beurocratic entity wasnt the best idea. Who would have ever guessed? " Ill tell you who. Anyone that actually cared to look at the data.
THEY HAVE CONTROL OF THE DIEASES
 
it all makes sense now
 
user15026
Oh my god what
 
user15026
people why
 
3:30 AM
HOW WAS I SUCH A FOOL?
Of course the Center for Disease Control is Controlling all of the Diseases and is spreading them into populations at whim.
 
user15026
"only the cdc has the rights to these"
 
user15026
what
 
user15026
MY LIFE IS A LIE
 
@AshleyNunn THEY. CONTROL. THE. DIEASES.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz of course they do they have the patents
 
3:36 AM
it's so obvious too! why else would they call themselves the center for disease control?
 
user15026
I see the light now
 
I have a question
Say if I wanted to make a payment. One payment says: pay $35/year; what does that mean?
Does it mean I pay $35 every year?
 
@7Blue_Beast7 yes
 
my words just italisized themselves????
eh....?

3:50 AM
nvm

sorry for yelling
I must have pressed a button :/
anyways:

@Unionhawk ahh yes
 
@Unionhawk Do you like Shadow?
 
3:51 AM
@OrigamiRobot I'm enjoying it a lot.
 
Shadow Run?
 
Have you encountered the spear guys yet?
They fuck my day up.
 
@OrigamiRobot I reset my kittens and I'm attempting Iron Will mode
 
You guys need to listen to that music I hyper linker
 
How do you iron Will?
 
3:52 AM
linked*.
 
@OrigamiRobot no housing
i.e no kittens
 
Yep. Those guys are... yeeah
 
@OrigamiRobot What is Shadow?
 
@Chippies I mean how do you enable that mode?
@7Blue_Beast7 Shadow of Mordor
 
@OrigamiRobot oh you just don't build the hut, instead you build a library
and then uhh, lemme screenshot..
 
3:53 AM
@Unionhawk My captain list is going to be 100% hunters pretty soon :/
 
@OrigamiRobot That's no good
 
oh fss, puu.sh is not working...
 
But now it's bedtime
 
@OrigamiRobot Ahh...
 
3:55 AM
They don't kill me, usually what happens is I get overwhelmed by things, or mauled or something
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot I have an hour of work yet :(
 
it basically just doesn't show housing so you don't accidentally click on them
I haven't yet figured out how to build up science without kittens...
 
@Unionhawk I get swarmed by melee guys who I can mostly handle and one of those fuckers kills me from the sidelines.
 
you can get zebras instead of kittens later though
 
So it slow-mo zooms on him and I'm like "Oh, another capta...OH GOD QUICKTIME EVENT"
 
3:57 AM
Yeeeeeah, those are not fun. Though I guess technically the alternative is no chance at all.
 
I like the mechanic, it just sucks that with hunters I mistake it for a captain encounter
Because it zooms so far away from me vs when a melee enemy is about to kill me
4 mins ago, by Origami Robot
But now it's bedtime
 
I think i only got a star once for my comments jaja
 
I kind of need to break bad habits from other games. This "mash x until victory" habit is way too deeply ingrained, that I have a feeling it's going to continue to kill me.
 
I do'd it.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy What?
 
4:06 AM
LOL
 
@AshleyNunn Got Shadow of Mordor. :3
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Nice :)
 
O.O is it free or paid?
 
@7Blue_Beast7 It costs moneys.
 
I hope it was browser game :(
 
4:08 AM
Hooray, WTNV/TAH crossover is queued for work time listening tomorrow.
 
What the frack-alumpa?
 
@Fluttershy yay :D have fun
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I should listen to more TAH, I liked it, I just always forget about it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz What is WTNV?
 
Cherokee in 2 days! :D
I can't wait!
 
4:11 AM
@spugsley I will! But not tonight! Tonight, I sleep!
 
@AshleyNunn You should! It is good! And funny! And good!

Yes it is! I just am bad at things that need my ears

Something like that :P
 
4:59 AM
In!
 
user15026
I think this party girl is going to sleep though
 
Ah, sad day. Pillow fight though?
 
user15026
If you can convince my cat to give up any pillows
 
hits @Ktash with a pillow and giggles
 
PILLOW FIGHT!!!!
@Mana hits with big fluffy pillow, ninja style

Q: How do I make sure a captain stays dead after I defeated him?

Uruk-HaiI just tried to kill a captain that was already difficult enough, and suddenly another captain appears that I already had killed. He taunts me, telling me that I should have made sure to kill him and swears revenge. The appearance of that guy made an already far too hard fight impossible, and I...

 
6:34 AM
ffs
 
Running out of space?
 
No, I tried to do system updates, they failed, and the restore point was never cleaned up.
That HP_TOOLS partition isn't normally there
sigh
 
Oh, I see.
 
I really need to start clean on this thing. I'll probably do that this winter.
 
6:48 AM

Q: Making a Starcraft 2 tower defense map

Kobus MyburghHas anyone some information about making a Starcraft 2 Tower Defense map similar to Gem Tower Defense? I want to make one that mimics the Gem Tower Defense, but change some items in it. I can build the "environment" most likely with the map editor, but what language is it programmed in?

 
8:29 AM
@5pike Breakfast
 
@fredley ಠ_ಠ
 
I ate granola. Normally breakfast is more exciting, but I ran to work and had breakfast there.
 
@fredley Oh, I had hoped you had a (stereo)typical English breakfast.
 
@5pike was hoping the same thing :P nothing beats English breakfast
 
I only have English breakfast when I am in a hotel, i.e. not in England
 
8:35 AM
@fredley Haha, yeah, the "Continental" breakfast.
 
And even then I usually have continental
(i.e. croissant/pastry + jam)
Due to the complexities of preparing an english breakfast, the quality of ingredients is usually very low, and they have usually been sitting around somewhat luke-warm for an hour or so
 
Mhh...whenever there was a continental breakfast option, it was always English breakfast.
 
@5pike Where are you? If you get far enough away the UK and EU sort of blur into one.
Ironically
 
@fredley Let me think...
Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, China and South Korea.
 
@5pike You are not from all those places. In fact, given where you are you should know better.
 
8:39 AM
@fredley Oh sorry. Those were the places I got the english breakfast. I'm from Austria.
 
@5pike Oh right. Acceptable.
Austrian breakfast (assuming it's like breakfasts of nearby countries) is weird. Meat? Cheese? Chocolate sprinkles?
 
@fredley More like, bread, butter, jam, different cheeses and sausages (in slices), hard-boiled egg, coffee, granola...
We have many different bread rolls.
 
@5pike Toast/spread or cereal here
 
i think the most common breakfast is Coffee + Cigarettes
and that's worldwide

Q: Use PC as Console - start PC remotely and automatically close launchers

DvporgI'm a happy console user, despite of available skills to build and manage gaming PC, I highly prefer games on console mostly because of I'm sitting in front of PC through whole day with keyboard and mouse, thus prefer to relax on couch having only joystick and not seeing PC OS. With new consoles...

 
8:43 AM
Smoking in the UK is reasonably rare now. I don't think I know anyone who smokes.
 
@fredley Isn't that because it got freaking expensive over the years? Do you know, per chance, what a pack of smokes costs?
 
In switzerland I think about 40% of the population are smokers. but we're working on that lol^^
 
@5pike Partly. Massive government campaign to cut smoking. It worked. Smoking is also banned in any indoor public space including offices, pubs and bars etc. and many outdoor ones too.
Which is a big step up from when I was at school where there was a staff smoking room.
 
@fredley we still have this today in switzerland
 
@Jutschge Yeah. Not a great thing.
 
8:46 AM
@Jutschge I'm reading that Austria is number 2 (after Greece) for rate of smoking - 42%
 
However I imagine rates are rising again due to ecigs. Adverts for them everywhere as there's no regulation yet, so the companies are taking the chance while they can to push their addictive product as hard as possible.
 
yeah most People I know in austria smoke. But it's also pretty cheap there compared to the rest of europe (or the world)
 
@Jutschge It's €10 a pack here.
 
@fredley We have that too...partially. For example: if a restaurant/bar is over 50², they have to have a closed off smoking area,
 
In India you bought (and presumably buy) cigarettes for a rupee each (1 cent) one at a time.
@5pike Can they not have one and just have no smoking?
 
8:49 AM
@fredley 10 €? Damn. A pack of smokes costs ~4€ here.
@fredley Or that, yes.
 
Does anyone know any quick way to check if this thing is a Fibonacci number?
 
In switzerland a pack is about 8 CHF (roughly 6.50-7 Euros) but it's ok-ish for swiss prices
 
@5pike Middle and Upper classes have ~10% smokers. Lower class has ~25% by 2013 stats
 
I'll compile it if you don't have one set up
 
@fredley Wow, that's hella cheap. China also is pretty cheap. A pack costs 1€.
 
8:50 AM
OR wait uuh that won't work with standard ints I think
 
@3ventic Work your way up
 
That won't fit in an int
 
I bought 200 Cigarettes for like 2 Euros in Egypt
 
@3ventic Use a bigger int
 
@Jutschge Official, or street vendor?
 
8:51 AM
I'm trying to see if my own number variable (which should work up to int digits) is working...
 
there are no official vendors in egypt... even in the supermarket you have to bargain
 
@3ventic bleh, wolfram alpha doesn't want to do it either
And google just gives an error =[
 
Well it is 2286 digits...
 
@Jutschge I see. Well, Croatia is also pretty cheap. 2€ for a pack. I saw so many people running around with carton of cigarettes.
 
I only buy cartons when I'm at an airport they're so much cheaper there (but i usually smoke too much if i have a carton)
 
8:54 AM
@3ventic It is a fibonacci number
 
It is?
 
@3ventic It is the 10939th Fibonacci number
 
Okay
 
@Jutschge Yeah, I know. I usually smoke rolling tobacco, and very few of those, but when I buy a carton, they are gone pretty fast.

Q: Wasteland 2 hangs when trying to enter the world map

DarkDustIn Wasteland 2, I'm trying to leave an area to enter the world map. The load screen appears and the progress bar starts updating but then stops. I can wait as long as I want, loading does not continue. The progress is not always the same, it can go up to about 95% but still never completes.

 
Python handles numbers that large without problems?
 
@3ventic yarp
 
Cool.
 
Python is cool
 
It is
I'm messing with C#
 
9:00 AM
@3ventic euch
 
Python is a lot simpler
 
yeah, but c# is a lot more corporate ;)
(I write c# and python for a living)
 
Python is more magic
 
C# is more magic than Python once you understand the reflection and attribute systems :D
 
@James Python can do those things!
Python calls it introspection
 
9:14 AM
Python is way more magic
monkey patching is far easier in python than c#
 
It's even easier in python, though I don't think there's a way to get all the classes from a module (including submodule) without a lot of manual work
 
Attributes are pretty cool, but properties are way cooler

Q: How do Captains get promoted to Warcheif?

DjorgeI know that captains respawn simply by passing time, or "allowing" a random Uruk to kill you will get them promoted to Captain. But how do Captains get promoted to Warchief? I spend a while using the "Pass Time" function and while lots of captains were generated, none ever got promoted to Warchi...

 
Is diablo 3 Playable cross-platform? Especially PC-PS4
 
@Jutschge doesn't look like it
as far as I can tell PC uses battle.net and PS4 uses playstation network, so they don't chat
 
@Jutschge Nope, they are different games. There are even some concepts that are different between the two. Can't tell about any specific differencenow though.
Because I don't even own a console.
 
@Jutschge rule of thumb: Unless it is a much advertised feature, you can't play cross platform

Malbolge is a public domain esoteric programming language invented by Ben Olmstead in 1998, named after the eighth circle of hell in Dante's Inferno, the Malebolge. Malbolge was specifically designed to be nearly impossible to program in. It builds on the difficulty of earlier, challenging esolangs (such as brainfuck and Befunge), but takes this aspect to the extreme, playing on the entangled histories of computer science and encryption. Weaknesses in the design have been found that make it possible (though still very difficult) to write useful Malbolge programs. == Programming in Malbolg...
 
@Wipqozn <3
I love how someone was able to write a program in Malbolge only after finding a 'weakness'
 
@Wipqozn name seems about accurate
 
> Weaknesses in the design have been found that make it possible (though still very difficult) to write useful Malbolge programs.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yeha, it really does

Q: Level up gear before dismantling?

icebatI heard an advice once to level up your gear before dismantling to produce more parts and materials. From my subjective experience this seems to work more or less with rare items, though I can't say for sure. As I care most for Ascendant Shards and other top-level materials, the question is main...

 
> It took allot of patience
 
@MattЭллен yes, that's worse than the alot
 
It makes me smile :D such dedication to pennies, but not to spelling
 
@KevinvanderVelden [x for x in dir(logging) if type(logging.__dict__[x]) == type(logging)]
 
10:32 AM
@badp and also in its submodules I meant, I don't think that does so
 
@KevinvanderVelden that finds the submodules
 
Aah right
Sorry, my python is a bit rusty =p
 
you need it for the recursive search you want to get for free :P
 
@badp I the python equivalent of finding all the classes in a certain DLL.
 
@KevinvanderVelden but classes are arranged hierarchically so you have to make a tree search.
 
10:37 AM
@badp you can use reflection to get a list of all the classes in a DLL in C# I believe
Yeah, Assembly.LoadFile and then dll.GetExportedTypes()
 
@KevinvanderVelden Okay, and Python has dir() that does the same, only you get the hierarchical view because Python modules are hierarchical.
 
@badp yup, which is the manual work I was talking about =p
Manual was probably the wrong word, true
 
@KevinvanderVelden you probably don't want the flat list to begin with.
 
@badp I dunno, if I just want to create an instance of anything that extends a certain interface I wouldn't care about the precise hierarchical location
 
"just"
that seems like a pretty weird and dangerous request to make
 
10:41 AM
I'm thinking of a plugin system, implement a certain interface and it will be loaded
 
but then you don't need the flat list
 
Though that isn't as necessary in python as code will be ran anyway on loading the egg
 
if each plugin imports its own modules and has it own submodules, that's none of your concern
 
@KevinvanderVelden That looks so ugly.
@Fluttershy I thought you already owned it.
I sometimes forget that an answer need to be -1 before I can delete it.
 
@badp meh, you could specify any class in the root module will be loaded, or just any class
 
10:45 AM
"why can't I delete this?! bah, I guess I'll need to flagit then :/"
and then I remember "oh, right...fuck"
 
@KevinvanderVelden why use any class? You should check if they're subclassing your base plugin class
 
@badp any class referring to the location of that class, the subclassing constraint still applies*
