I hope I didn't build up an addiction to caffeine

last few days I stopped drinking tea, coffee and coke

and felt more and more depressed

now that I resumed the coke, I feel better

MickLH

lol

Alex M.

here's some more cheesy oldie music

►

MickLH

@AlexM. A friend of mine binged on starbucks while doing a project for 2 or 3 days

I'll call it 3 because he didn't sleep lol

Alex M.

I went to starbucks a few times but had tea each time

Lasse

binged what does that mean

MickLH

18:03

In that 3 day period he developed a severe enough addiction that he had to miss school while recovering from the withdrawal symptoms

Alex M.

@Lasse he went crazy

Lasse

oh, okay

Alex M.

on stuff

anyway for me starbucks is that place where I can order huge earl greys

MickLH

Google Images "binge"

close enough

Lasse

obsessed

Alex M.

18:04

not really

MickLH

The previously referenced FatBitch is in the act of "Binging" on donuts

Oliver Schöning

Hello

Alex M.

during an exam you can drink a shitload of coffee and not be obsessed by it

you can also eat a lot of chocolate without knowing it

MickLH

ok I've got a better way to explain it

Lasse

right

MickLH

18:05

There are lifestyle alcoholics, and binge alcoholics

Lasse

yeah

MickLH

I'm a binge alcoholic because I don't even thinking about drinking on a daily basis

Alex M.

I binged on coffee at the last party with the company employees

I promised myself I'll only have a beer

and instead of leaving it at that

I actually had ~8 coffees

MickLH

But when I do drink, it's about half a liter of pure ethanol, which is a binge

Lasse

sounds familiar

Alex M.

18:07

I drink a beer every two days or so

Lasse

so it's uncontrollable if you don't pay attention

Alex M.

yeah exactly

MickLH

Well you can consciously decide to binge

Alex M.

you do a lot of stuff in very short bursts

speaking of doing everything at once

►

that is one badass track

Lasse

my ears are ringing again

not because of that track

damn this tinnitus

it's never quiet in my head :(

Alex M.

18:09

uh right so I thought getting fat was my only problem but uh

last time I had to go to the store and it was raining

so naturally I started running

but I ran for like 30 seconds

then felt like stopping

if I don't do something I'll become a ruin lol

Lasse

8 years ago I could run 10km straight

now I can't run for 30 seconds

Alex M.

shit

I must work out

otherwise I'll become a Lasse

Ali.S

@Lasse run?

Alex M.

thanks for the motivation :P

Ali.S

as in how fast?

I could speed walk about any distance.

almost 6km/h

Lasse

18:12

not sprinting speed of course

but run, not walk

I don't know how fast that is

Ali.S

but running is a whole different level :|

Alex M.

it's usain bolt fast

Ali.S

6km/h is as fast almost no one can walk besides me ...

Lasse

►

running is little bit faster than that

Ali.S

that's why I was shocked

Lasse

18:13

that's just speed walking

Alex M.

what a retarded sport

Almo

I wouldn't put it that way, but I think I share the sentiment.

Alex M.

it's especially funny because of the women

they look like they're trying to sprint with a cock up their ass

MickLH

lol

Almo

it does require really weird leg/hip motion to speedwalk

so who is checking to disqualify anyone who does a "run step"

Alex M.

18:16

no one speedwalks faster than me when I'm late for an exam

jk

Almo

or do the shoes have sensors, and if at one point both aren't firing, they lose?

Alex M.

my secret is actually that I don't wait at red lights

MickLH

@Almo that seems like a legit definition

They should just call it high stability running though

Almo

:D

Ali.S

(silently changing the topic)

I'm wondering how are we able to ping @pip, if he's not in room, and autocomplete doesn't suggest his name?

Lasse

18:19

I think it works, just use @Pip

MickLH

Yeah I think you just did lol

Ali.S

@pip, are you pinged?

MickLH

But maybe you can reply to his starred message

That's gotta do it

Alex M.

he is not pinged like that

you have to reply to an existing message

MickLH

Dragon

Lasse

18:20

well that's weird

Ali.S

@AlexM. I thought so

Alex M.

I am so efficient sometimes

Noctrine

@Pip is gonna be confused with all these pings he's probably getting

Alex M.

don't worry, I'll make sure he won't bother checking them out

@Pip let's engage in hot steamy sex

Ali.S

@Noctrine I'm pretty sure @pip won't get any pings

MickLH

18:34

Man everything counts now, it's such a close race

Ali.S

@MickLH which race?

MickLH

Does @Pip immediately abort because of @AlexM.'s message

or does he see the one above it explaining why, and become even more curious about what they are trying to hide

Alex M.

he'll have an abortion for sure

ba dum tschh

uh there was this neat 3D house maker on linux

I forgot its name

basically it let you place walls and furniture in a 3D world

MickLH

I had one of those a long ass time ago for windows called Punch Pro

Alex M.

I was wondering if there's anything that runs in a browser

and does the same thing

Ali.S

18:38

@AlexM. sweethome3d?

Alex M.

yeah that's the one

Ali.S

viva google!

Alex M.

found roomsketcher

but it's not exactly the same thing, seems to be 2D only

nvm

it's actually good

Ali.S

@AlexM. this room is awesome

Alex M.

of course it is

I talk in it

Ali.S

18:40

I did something a year ago, and explained it here

I've been trying to do the same thing for about a month, without any success.

and today, I just found out this: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/10909032#10909032

magically everything started working, without me doing anything special

I guess my computer just remembered it had done the same thing, so it could do it again :P

Alex M.

wat?

oh

so this was some sort of history

okay

Ali.S

history? it just happened an hour ago :|

Alex M.

you lost me then

Ali.S

okay let me start over

about a year ago, I fooled nokia, to think I was downloading maps from netherlands.

fooling was the important part, since I can't download them from iran

downloading from iran, will result in "error 403:forbidden"

Alex M.

and today you wanted to do the same thing

Almo

18:47

do you guys look at the keyboard when typing?

I've noticed a lot of programmers do

I don't

Alex M.

and the fact that you explained it a year ago here made the chatroom act like some kind of history

Ali.S

I hard-reseted my cellphone, so I needed to download the maps again

MickLH

@Almo sometimes I look at the keyboard in between long periods of typing lol

John McDonald

@Almo I used to, but I've been working hard to stop myself from looking

Ali.S

@Almo sometimes, but sometimes I don't even look at monitor

Almo

18:48

hahahah

MickLH

never while actually typing though, if I even notice the keyboard while typing it slows me down

Almo

heh

John McDonald

I even scrambled my keys for ~ a month so that looking at the keyboard would be useless

MickLH

It's like gaming to me lol, I have to forget my body and just put character codes directly into the computer

At least, to achieve beast mode anyways

Ali.S

@JohnMcDonald I remember once I sat behind a keyboard with scrambled keys

I couldn't type, until I turned off the lights

MickLH

18:49

Also, the specific sequences you type often in C++ are burned in about 100x harder for me

John McDonald

I just scrambled the caps

Almo

:D

MickLH

I have superhuman WPM at typing int main() {}

Almo

hahha

Ali.S

@MickLH nope, I don't

but I've got super human power, almost typing everything with same speed after I first think about the code design

let's say it takes about 5 minutes to first figure out what I want to type, and then I type 100 lines non-stop

maybe with constant speed of 50-60 wpm

MickLH

18:52

That's a good solid way to do it, some of the best programmers I know do that

Jovito

@Lasse which x and y were you referring to before?

Lasse

the ball's x and y

Jovito

the vector components?

Lasse

it's position yes

Jovito

but it's position is calculated like rect.move(self.velocity.x * dt, self.velocity.y * dt)

Lasse

18:54

you wanted it to circle around a point

Ali.S

@MickLH well, but it kinda depends on what I'm going to write too

Jovito

yes?

Ali.S

if it's the hard problem solving type of code, I do erase a word or two after typing each line

Lasse

that's what it does

MickLH

@Ali.S The way I put code on the screen is super non-linear

Alex M.

18:55

Lasse

if you want to move the point you can do that by adding some vector to it

Alex M.

man an office like this would be pretty badass

MickLH

I probably press as many arrow keys as I press letters :P

Jovito

@Lasse ok, but is x and y the components of a new vector or what?

Alex M.

with stuff placed in containers placed on the tables

MickLH

18:56

and I'm probably holding shift 1/4th of the total time I spend coding

Alex M.

and an arduino minion programmed to bring you stuff you ask for

Lasse

it's the new position of the ball in relation to the point of which it rotates around

Ali.S

@MickLH yep, copy-pasting is just way too convenient to forget

Jovito

@Lasse that's what I don't understand, what's the point? you only gave me totadistance which is the lenght of a straight line between the ball's past pos and next pos

Lasse

no

Ali.S

18:59

@MickLH the one thing I really enjoy while typing is when I type persian.
