@bwDraco I'll say it again "It's not something you research. That is distancing yourself. It is something you do. Take actions."

bwDraco

@DavidPostill Some of the solutions described in the earlier chat require substantial commitments.

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi supposedly those are good money

Burgi

15:08

@bwDraco my suggestions let you get PAID for learning!

bwDraco

Burgi suggested taking on a customer service job.

Journeyman Geek

yup

tech support isn't bad

teaches you patience

bwDraco

@JourneymanGeek ...which requires self-control.

Journeyman Geek

@bwDraco chicken and egg

Burgi

you'll learn that on the job

Journeyman Geek

15:10

yup

bwDraco

I'm hoping to implement something that doesn't require any major commitments such as a job outside my compsci field (beyond a bit of time and effort needed to do the work)

Burgi

especially if you tell the CEO to f-off

well you need a job..... so....

bwDraco

I'll see if I can practice these skills in day-to-day activities such as housekeeping tasks and shopping trips.

I don't want this to derail my career plans.

@bwDraco You can learn a martial art by dedicating just 3 hours a week. Find something less important in your life to give up.

Rahul2001

@bwDraco I know that I'm really young and all that, but I'll tell you what I think anyways... not so long ago, I used to be a really awkward person- i used to take all the wrong decisions, not be empathetic when I should've, and used I not understand other people.
I used to worry too much about things that didn't matter and too less about things which did. How the condition improved is actually very interesting... this may come off as cheesy, but I swear it's the truth. last year, I started watching this particular TV show, and was awestruck by the protagonist - he was everything I wanted t…

Hi ! I am absolute Linux beginner, and have a short question.
I have installed Open R on my machine (statistical analysis software), it is Running fedora.

https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/installation/#tab-71ZvQby6Z-1

However, after install and trying to run it, I am getting the following error:

/usr/lib64/MRO-3.2.5/R-3.2.5/lib64/R/bin/exec/R: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.50: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Would appreciate if someone could give me a hand

qwertyuiop

Rahul2001

@newprint hey...

Did you check stackoverflow.com/a/480786/4037639

Bob

@newprint try asking on Super User, and double-check you didn't skip a step. You're following CentOS/RHEL instructions, make sure you actually have the correct OS (and supported version) installed.

qwertyuiop

@Rahul2001 Fedora is upstream Redhat which is basically upstream CentOS

Bob

Oh, missed the bit where he mentioned Fedora. *shrug*

qwertyuiop

Or more succinctly, Fedora is Red Hat Beta and CentOS is Red Hat Free Edition

Rahul2001

hm...

Microsoft stuff doesn't work on linux... big surprise

qwertyuiop

15:57

@Rahul2001 I was more surprised when they made Windows come with built-in Linux

Burgi

@qwertyuiop this is acceptable

as long as i don't say it outloud

qwertyuiop

So mute your shutter sound then

djsmiley2k

fedora is pre-redhat, and centos is post-redhead

Bob

@Rahul2001 I'm sure it works fine when installed on an actually supported version, y'know.

newprint

@Rahul2001 I have followed all the directions carefully (For Fedora/CentOS)
Installation seems to be fine (had no errors during install)

@DavidPostill I don't know what you are talking about... ;p

FWIW I've found immense use in my Macbook Pro as a means of doing proof-of-concept work on a cross-platform thingy at work

even though it's a personal Macbook Pro, I can now say "X is possible" with authority because I've tested it

That Brazilian Guy

16:06

@allquixotic I pictured you as a PC and Android person

allquixotic

instead of being another useless guy who goes "I don't know...."

DavidPostill

@ThatBrazilianGuy You added the same sequence as I did ... before you sneakily changed it ...

That Brazilian Guy

@allquixotic aaaaah

allquixotic

@ThatBrazilianGuy Let's see: I have a server running SmartOS with a Windows VM and an emulated Linux container (LX branded zone); I have an iPhone and an Android KitKat cheapo phone (though I mostly use the iPhone); I have a Windows 10 Micro ATX desktop that dual-boots Ubuntu; I have a Macbook Pro; a Windows tablet that's broken; an outdated Windows laptop that dual boots Windows 10 and Ubuntu; a FireOS Amazon tablet; and my work machines run Windows 7.

so that's Solaris-based OS, Windows Server, Windows client, Linux on the server, Linux on the desktop, iOS, Mac OS X, and Android - am I missing anything?

I guess I don't run BSD anywhere, but meh

Bob

Depends whether you want to count OS X as a BSD...

allquixotic

16:09

I'm not a fanboy; I run everything

except GNU Hurd - I haven't installed that or tried it in almost a decade

oh and equipment I originally purchased for myself that has been handed down to family and still in use: a Windows 10 Surface Pro "1", and a second-generation Nexus 7.

Bob

@allquixotic Don't know if you look at past pings -- I tried out advent, it was interesting :P

Very different playstyle from TEC

allquixotic

@Bob yeah, they're basically the culture faction

though their mobile starbases gives them an interesting advantage in defense

Bob

@allquixotic Even ignoring culture, they have a lot more attack power

their bombers are especially devastating

@allquixotic Mobile starbase is vasari

allquixotic

also I think some of their capital ship abilities are OP - it might be the Discord-class battleship/dreadnought that has some kind of ridiculous shield buff

I've learned to focus fire Discord ships first

Bob

Advent is basically very very strong strike craft

allquixotic

16:13

that's why I never fire at titans first in a battle against the Advent... I always fire at the Advent capital ships

their abilities are very powerful and they're fragile and easy to kill with a few dozen kodiaks, a titan and a few capital ships of my own

Bob

20-30 drone hosts will wipe out a fairly heavily defended gravity well without intervention

allquixotic

heh, I imagine the vasari mobile starbase is very powerful drone host counter... just move to where the drone hosts are and shoot them

Bob

wile staying completely out of range of any static defences, TEC starbases included

Oh, Advent has a lot of multi-target ships too...

allquixotic

also, gravity wells come in different sizes; really small gravity wells can literally be coated in point defense, gauss cannon and starbase firing arcs where you can't move your drone hosts anywhere to escape the static defenses

Bob

Illuminator and Solanus, fly them right into the middle of the enemy fleet/defences respectively and they'll spew fire in all directions

allquixotic

16:15

big gravity wells are harder to defend because you'll inevitably have holes

I hate the Solanus - granted, its individual projectiles are WAY weaker than Ogrov torpedoes, but it can take out many smaller defensive structures at the same time

Solanus is a counter to my strategy of 3 repair platforms backing 2 starbases

because they can fire on the starbases and the repair platforms at once

Bob

@allquixotic It smashes up gauss platforms pretty well. Ogrovs (or drone hosts) are better against starbases

allquixotic

when the AI hit me with Solanus I had to bring my fleet back to shoot them down

yeah, Ogrovs are the best anti-starbase ship in the game obviously

but probably weaker against gauss spam, or at least it'd take them a lot longer to kill 20 gauss platforms than solanus adjudicators

Bob

Actually, Solanus has a really hard time taking out a fully upgraded starbase backed by hangers

Need a lot and lose a lot of them

Drone hosts work better there

allquixotic

yeah, bombers are probably the correct counter against solanus if you don't have a fleet there

obviously if you have a fleet you roll heavy cruisers and pop them easily

or Marzas

Bob

Speaking of, the Advent starbase is pretty amazing for culture spread but not much good for planetary defence :P

allquixotic

16:18

Advent starbase? yeah

Bob

I do like the auto names though

Purity, Divinity, Sanctuary, Vindication

allquixotic

TEC have the best starbases in terms of sheer stats and durability (and income); Advent have the best culture starbases; and Vasari can move

Bob

@allquixotic I need to figure out a good counter to those strike craft when playing as TEC

Gardas don't cut it

lol. Vasari: "we can move!"

allquixotic

@Bob you might want to try the Dunov's magnetize ability; it will literally crash multiple squads of strike craft into an enemy frigate/structure/cruiser/capship/titan and deal damage to both, mostly hurting the strike craft

you can outright destroy a frigate with its shields down with Magnetize if a lot of bombers hit it

but it only tickles titans and starbases

you can't use Magnetize if the enemy has no targetable non-strike-craft units in the gravity well, though -- and it can't target planets

it can only target actual ships and structures

Rahul2001

@allquixotic Macs are really overpriced, which is the only reason I don't buy one

qwertyuiop

16:22

They're not quite as bad anymore

allquixotic

@Rahul2001 I hear that a lot, but it's not very true

Bob

@allquixotic o.o

I generally don't use abilities much because they aren't much good unless you micro them

But I might have to look into that

allquixotic

obviously they cost more than it'd cost if you went to Shenzhen, China and bought the raw components and soldered them and glued them together manually

Burgi

they are VERY expensive for laptops but the build quality is excellent

allquixotic

but the premium is only like, $100 on the low end, and $200 - $250 on the high end

Rahul2001

16:22

@allquixotic in India, they cost like 3 times an HP with the same specs

allquixotic

@Rahul2001 I don't think HP has the same specs as a Macbook Pro anymore, because of the PCIe SSD... will have to check on that though

Bob

@Rahul2001 Depends if you're looking for raw specs or for the build as well.

allquixotic

last I checked the latest MBP SSD is the king of speed in the laptop arena, short of multi-thousand-dollar PCIe add-in cards

Bob

Macs are still more expensive, though. There are many non-Mac laptops with similar build quality for cheaper.

allquixotic

I benched ~1400 MB/s

qwertyuiop

16:24

There are many non-Mac laptops with similar or worse build quality and cost more

Rahul2001

@Bob actually, I only care about the battery, display, and performance while coding

allquixotic

you want to know what's a ripoff? fucking Alienware

Macs cost a bit more, are almost never on sale, but have very low depreciation. They can be resold for a good chunk of the purchase price many years later.

allquixotic

btw, my GTX 1080 is coming \o/

as far as software goes, though, purely going on what's actually available and not paying any mind to things that aren't available on the platform, I FAR prefer OS X over Windows... it just looks so much nicer... and it's extremely fast and never have to worry about drivers

the only reason I ever use Windows is that (1) OS X doesn't run on high-end PC hardware (or at all, legally), and (2) it runs a lot of software that will not run on OS X

Rahul2001

@qwertyuiop me want too

Bob

shrug I've not had to worry about drivers on Windows for ... quite a while

Though, the custom drivers tend to include additional controls that aren't always built-in.

It always comes back to the GPU and printers.

allquixotic

@Bob when I got my new motherboard I had to manually update the Skylake Z170 chipset drivers to get USB fully working, and SMbios for temperature monitoring was a custom gigabyte.com download

Bob

But there's decent generic printer drivers as of... Win8?

I didn't change out the GPU though so thankfully it booted right up and basically worked out of the box, even though the OS was a block level copy from an Ivy Bridge box

Bob

I literally just installed Windows (7|10) and off I go. Except Win7 didn't have USB 3.0 support at all.

allquixotic

I had to reboot like 3 times to get Windows to activate and stay activated on the new CPU though :P

now my new CPU is registered as a Windows 10 licensee, yay

should make it easy to upgrade if and when they go to a subscription based model or some shit

I'm sure Microsoft is just salivating at the prospect of getting $9.99/month out of every Windows 11 Pro PC and $7.99/month out of every Windows 11 Home PC

or, if Windows literally becomes freeware in the future, then your personal data and habits becomes your payment method

Bob

16:33

*shrug* I'll worry more about that if it actually happens.

Meanwhile Google is already actively and openly using private data to serve personalised ads.

they should just have a menu when you install...

Rahul2001

@allquixotic You'll never achieve 100% switchover either... there'll always be the odd person/service that still has the old address :\

So permanent redirect it is!

Funnily enough, I think SE's the only place I've done that, and it might be the only site that lets me associate alternative login methods.

@allquixotic You can't add other login methods on most sites, so it's either keep the Google login or make a new account

2007, I created a MapleStory account w/ a bugmenot email address. ~2009, they implemented email verification and I discovered bugmenot email was discontinued. ~2011 they finally implemented email changing, but you needed access to the old address (of course). This was after I spent the last two years asking them every few months. ~2012 I finally got them to let me change the email address.

Nexon support had response times measured in months. Seasons, even.
