@Rahul2001 COME TO THE LINUX SIDE WE HAVE KEYBOARD-BASED SCREENSHOTTING HERE
 
scrot.
 
The Snipping Tool is helpful
 
yup
I like PDN and that, snipping tool for precise screenshots, PDN for neat arrows
 
@JourneymanGeek That's a... peculiar choice for a name
 
tho I've taken to literal free---paw--- hand circules on my touchscreen
Scrot is a minimalistic command line screen capturing application. It allows substantial degree of flexibility by specifying parameters on command line, including the ability to invoke a third-party utility to manipulate the resulting screenshot. == Description == Features of the program include the ability to limit the scope of capturing to a specific screen area, to set the delay (if needed to capture some menu or another UI element which is shown only when focused) and to specify the filename template using wildcards (including those of the strftime function from the C standard library). Other...

@ThatREDACTEDGuy yeah?
check out escrotum.
 
Also, (Alt+)PrintScreen
 
Who the hell puts a "loading" gif on a page where nothing is being loaded at all?
The purpose of the red button is opening a PDF. The purpose of the green bar is confusing the user.

Getting ready to ship @AMDRyzen #Threadripper... super excited! More details on @Radeon Vega and Threadripper at… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/889471703696498688

Bob
oh yay, packaging. awesome. woohoo. amazing. (read in a monotone)
 
Yeah. It's really just hype but I'm eager to see some benchmarks.
 
Bob
just chuck the damn thing in an antistatic bag and I'd be happy
 
Also, what use is 32 hardware threads when you don't have the software to leverage them?
There are emerging consumer workloads that use more threads, but most games are not really built for more than 4 to 8. (Granted, most newer AAA games need 4 hardware threads to run smoothly, but more than 8 isn't expected because processors with more than 4C/8T have not been prevalent.
At least not until Ryzen was launched.
AotS is an exception, capable of fully utilizing at least 16 threads, but most games are not that amenable to parallelization. RTS games, because of the large number of individual actors to process, are inherently easier to parallelize, so the kinds of optimizations featured in AotS won't necessarily adapt well to other games.
New low-level APIs like DirectX 12 help, but only if developers can properly utilize them. There are still lots of things that just can't be parallelized.
 
4:17 PM
Awkward situation... Happened to me once.
 
4:27 PM
on my corporate laptop I installed virtualbox and installed a guest os, however, from within it I can not able to connect to the internet...what could be the issue?

I'm staying inside today. @RobNelsonABC7 https://t.co/UF552AxAoQ

WTF

5:59 PM
can you run multiple rich copy instances at the same time?
 
@acoder People seriously still use rich copy?
Haven't used that in ages
And IIRC, it doesn't allow you to open multiple instances.
 
@Rahul2001 what should I use as a data archivest then?
i work with our externals
 
@acoder rich copy hasn't been updated since 2009
Use robocopy from cmd straight up?
 
link?
 
rich copy is basically a GUI for rich copy
@acoder Built into windows
 
6:04 PM
so it's drag and drop?
 
> cmd
 
i'd rather use a gui
 
@acoder Uhm
Rich copy should be ok then, I guess?
It does have known bugs though
 
just use drag-n-drop
 
@acoder What're you trying to do exactly?
Is it something automated?
 
6:07 PM
data archivest with external drives
so not really
 
@acoder See, if it's manual, and you want a GUI, just use Windows Explorer?
 
i have 250 TB of satalite images we work with
putting all of them on external drives
 
@DavidPostill Hasn't been updated since Win7 anyway
 
Hi what's going on here? :)
 
@FelixDombek Not a lot, atm
 
6:16 PM
@Rahul2001 telegram
 
I'm setting up my server
 
I have a question but I'm not sure if its on topic or a good question
 
@Avery can't, atm
Don't have phone, or telegram web on this PC
@FelixDombek Hm, ask us here and we'll let you know :)
 
So, when chrome has a lot of tabs open, and specifically if several of them are tumblr tabs (which looots of images) it fequently happens that all tumblr tabs crash at once. And the others don't crash. How is this even possible if each tab is its own process and isolated from whats going on in the others?
 
@Avery gossipmonger?
 
6:19 PM
I'm in
 
I first thought this might have to do sth with LocalStorage being restricted to a certain amount per domain, but then again, it seems to be coupled more to RAM usage so not sure about this
 
they need to update the windows data transfer module
 
@FelixDombek Hm, if you cannot find an existing question related to it, go ahead and ask
 
OK thx
 
 
1 hour later…
7:32 PM
Yeah my guess would be local storage also
 
 
2 hours later…
9:02 PM
@ThatREDACTEDGuy windows has that too (printscreen)
 
Mar 16 at 2:11, by Bob
@bwDraco Chrome (and probably Edge) are actually process-per-site-instance by default
 
9:22 PM
23 hours ago, by Burgi
if you remind me tomorrow evening i'll write a canonical Q/A
 
9:37 PM
Guys, calm down about Paint. It's not being removed just yet. It's been deprecated. I suppose it will still be available, but not part of the base install (e.g. you need to specifically add it as a Windows feature, as with the Telnet client).
 
@Burgi Yeah, but on Linux you press prtsrc and it saves to disk, you press ctrl + prtscr and you crop a region and it's saved to disk
TOPIC OF THE DAY: PAINTGATE
 
i'm more upset about paint than anything else ever!
hey... wait a minute... do you remember that guy from MS that popped in here a few months back? do you think this is his revenge for us asking him to fix the niggles in Windows?
 
10:10 PM
This is a really interesting read:
24
Q: Why did the percentage of CS bachelor's degrees going to women peak in 1984?

Ellen SpertusAs shown by the following graph, the percentage of bachelor's degrees going to women in the US has increased over time in almost every major, with the dramatic exception of CS, which peaked in 1984 at 37%, then fell drastically, never to rise again above 20%. Why are the numbers for CS so diff...

 
10:47 PM
i call babies
 
@Burgi jelly babies? yes, please.
 
heh
i had a silly theory that it was something to do with women having babies but i can't find the right words and its probably nonsense
 
@Burgi You could be right, but then the question is what happened in 1984 to cause women to have more babies?
 
well i was born the year before...
i have no idea tbh, like i said a silly theory
 
Bob
11:03 PM
