@AbrahamVanHelpsing So that one --^ x2

documentation? who does that?

@Mochan The docstrings are never read by the autograder.

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Oh. Your not in context? (Or are you?) I'm doing an assignment. Ah...

@kan So it doesn't matter?

@Mochan: no, its good practice tho ;p

@Mochan No. :-). But, for a discipline in programming, I suggest you go through the painful thingy...

@JourneymanGeek Huh...

But if what you said @JourneymanGeek, (time_2-time_2) is correct. Does that mean mine will be marked wrong without the parentheses?

@Mochan: brackets keep things near

I think it works without that

Do you mind if I add them just in case?

code is usually read more often than written, so better invest some time in make it readable (for everyone, not just yourself). ;-)

@kan ?

@jokerdino I was asked to do that... I don't understand what that's supposed to do.

@kan it creates a directory in /usr/local/.... and copies foo.sty to that place

you should be in home for that to work

@jokerdino But, how'll the bash know where is foo.sty?

@kan where is your foo.sty?

cd to that place and try

Oh, OK.

@Mochan It is right. Why do you think it is improper?

Anybody who likes hex editing here?

@AmithKK nope

Nyaaaaa. I have to go, folks. I'll see y'all tomorrow.

@Mochan good night.

11pm says hi

@kan My answer was a structured guess. I tested it, but the way I got it was by just think "Hm... will this work"?

@jokerdino Night~ ^O^

stratos delayed again :(

2:30h

See you everyone. Thanks @kan and @JourneymanGeek for your help ~ ^^

@Mochan Oh, OK. It's right.

I'm out~

@AmithKK i dont dislike it.

forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=27437

I want to unlock everything

i have absolutely no idea what that is about

yay, did the finite state machines lecture for networking

which was bloody hard

@AmithKK and? sudo apt-get install hexed and get started...

BBL

hi @RolandTaylor and @OliveTwist

hi everyone

o/ Anwar

hi @AbrahamVanHelpsing

A reminder @jokerdino, please link me to a copy of the pdf from U1... :)

@kan oh oops.

i totally forgot

we should all clean our profiles to nothing and change either our uname OR our gravatar. that way it's like a complex game of memory to carry on a conversation...

@kan sourceforge.net/projects/linuxcommand/files/TLCL/09.12/…

that's the download link

but not both?

@jokerdino dl is not starting...

it does for me o.O

I removed an email. i wanted to comment it to the op. should I?

@jokerdino hey

@jokerdino From a different mirror now!

hi @Roland

@kan if it doesn't work, i'll link you to u1

I was afk

@OliveTwist hihi

Liked that one →

@AmithKK + sonic == obsession of the sick kind

we have 5 greenish gravatar on the room \o/

once upon a time, we all were oli

Downloaded. :-) @jokerdino

@kan neat

@jokerdino what? we were oli?

@OliveTwist 11 months ago

I've been on this site for only ~5 months

My keyboard layout has completely changed.

change it back

Oh, i think you were saying we all had same gravatar , 11 months ago

I used to have the backslash key but it has become <

o/ fossfreedom

@OliveTwist yeah

\o/

green for win!

Where do I see what key is mapped to which?

@kan open dash, keyboard layout,

...do I really need to do A1?

@jokerdino LOL

@Mochan i thought you were sleeping.

(I was a noob this time last year)

though, i don't know the back story for this

@Mochan I would say so... if you're stuck, we can discuss that...

his birthday is on 11-11

@jokerdino But, it does not tell me specifically key-wise...

let me see

@kan, alright. When we were discussing the get_minutes, get_seconds and get_hours thing before - and I just copied and pasted what I had already written, but the handout makes it out to be something completely different. In other words, I don't know what I'm doing.

OK. Do you understand what you need to do? As in, the end goal?

@jokerdino, I couldn't sleep...

@Mochan you poor thing.

@kan my knowledge so far is: I need to write a function to output the amount if seconds, minutes and hours have elapsed since midnight. That's all I understand.

@Mochan perfect. You're right.

@jokerdino are you being sarcastic...?

@Mochan hm no o.O

i am just a bit busy

writing code

@kan I'm relieved. But I don't understand how I would do that. Like... I don't know.

So, you see, we are allowed to input any whole number as the number of seconds elapsed.

Ok...

So, there are a couple of problems that arise out of this.

you on mobile..

@jokerdino yes

that wasn't a question.

For instance, if someone input 108000 as that number, what is the number of hours, number of minutes and number of seconds elapsed?

but thank you anyway

@kan... I don't know, 1,800 hours?

@Mochan the input is: number of seconds elapsed. :-)

And then you must add that to midnight? -dies-

@Mochan you added me on G+?

@Mochan Noooooooooo~. :-)

Oh. So 3

@Mochan 30 hours, no?

@RolandTaylor did I? :S

fries

I was checking

Cause I saw someone that looked a little like you add me (and a lot of people add me daily)

Roland is a popular figure in G+

Yeah

@kan right. Forgot a zero in the equation continue.

e_e he is?

I have never met him, I guess he doesn't like small fry like me...

he is

@RolandTaylor lucky~

:P

@Mochan I guess I just have that effect on people

I'm a popular figure on nowhere

"ADD ME OR DIE"

@Mochan OK. Now, this is weird. Because, there are only 24 hours in a day and 30 hours could not have elapsed since any given midnight. This happens because a certain number of days has passed.

@Mochan you're one now

@Mochan which place is that?

she is popular on Minecraft.

Everyone in the AU chatroom who is active - is popular

i checked her background.

@jokerdino D:

yuck

I need to scrub

lolz

@RolandTaylor also scrubber

:P

@kan alright. That makes sense. So is there a limitation in place (do I have to add it?)

need to say more weird creepy stuff

yeah

@Mochan So, there are preconditions:

@jokerdino I'm noob on minecraft.

if not I'm going to divide by zero

and get a value...

1. 0<=num_hours<23

2. 0<=num_min<60

@Mochan LIEs

3. 0<=num_secs<60

@Mochan oh yeah?

4. they are all integers.

lol afk

~40mins

cya

@kan that also makes sense, but do they expect me to be able to so that with mere two weeks assumed experience?

@Mochan Yup. Not hard :-) So, we can do it.

@kan I hope. Your being such a help, really, thank you.

you are being such a help. thank you

@jokerdino I'm depressed, tired and angry, not now. Please.

@Mochan good night.

you are cute when angry

@jokerdino I'm not sleeping. I have I get this assignment done.

but you are on mobile?

Yes

I'm doing it through text. It's a last resort.

hm okay

~_~

@kan I'll try my best. I have to do the preconditions now, right? How are they applied?

@Mochan Hint: %. Use modular arithmetic.

(Remember that floats can be operands of %. )

Apparently this // is also useful because its....

It makes the answer an integer!!

Yep. :-))

Also, for the seconds_difference or hours/minutes there are preconditions, do I put them in or do they stay as stings?

@kan am I allowed to ask for an extension...? It's 12AM and I can't do anything until 6 PM tomorrow, and deadline is at 4.

@Mochan you just need to ensure that you're returning outputs that are sensible...

@Mochan unfortunately, no. they give no extensions. :(

I don't know what to do... Damn. If only I knew there was a deadline after the duedate afterwards.

I'll see if Google can be useful. Ugh. This is awful...!

See, do you want to look at my code?

That's cheating. Right?

that's referencing

See, I am not asking you to cheat... see how it's done.

Perhaps just a little more than a starter code.

Alright. I am liable for all damages ;)

Ty. You have no idea.

Do I post some bits to assist you here? I'll be here for a couple more hours.

(with a small break in between)

Ty. That would be so unbelievably helpful. Hopefully I won't be here for that long, it's already 12:13.

@mochan and @kan, i'll setup a new chatroom.

you guys are too "noisy"

Sorry.

@kan no problem.

Objective in sight.

:>

Status?

still in progress

I'm on it.

Thanks

(yes, it is possible to converse with Urban Terror radio commands :D)

Where's the enemy?

Near the sea base

askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/37970

omg! Enemy spotted! ^

Yay! attack from the south

i'll cover the east and the north

he'll fall into the water in west

xD

askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/37967

-_-

this guy...

ugh

wasting our time

:O

askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/37968

a useful edit at last!

surprise

Which proves he can do better, but chooses not to.

But, he should use common sense and realize that if he's doing junk, it will be rejected and he won't get the rep he seeks.

Also, when you've got to go to church in an hour, it's annoying to have to deal with such stupidity... :)

yeah -.-

yo, you should not be on internet then

(Point? Less :D)

@jokerdino lol it's okay

;D

I can't actually do anything but eat at this point, have to wait till the shower is free

oh

morning

o/ mistrfu

@RolandTaylor That is not spam. Most people are not familiar with the term "track stick." With that said, it's not the best edit to provide that information, as it doesn't help people who cannot view images due to technical limitations or disabilities. I've edited it to add an inline link to the Wikipedia article on "Pointing stick." As far as I have seen--which is admittedly limited--all of that user's edits as well-intended, and almost all can either be accepted or approved upon.

@RolandTaylor you taught him

@EliahKagan I rejected with that reason for the second half of the edit reason.

(That is, defaces the post in some way).

@OliveTwist :P

victory \o/

@mistrfu o|

@jokerdino for what sir?

we taught him?

Oh. indeed. it is

afk - food

@RolandTaylor That makes sense; I suppose it's reasonable to see it as defacing the post as it introduces unnecessary text in parentheses in the middle of a sentence. I usually just inline such links into the original text itself, so reading flow is no longer interrupted.

Does gconf still work in 12.10?

most default are using dconf

what happened to amith's script?

can i have it?

he dropboxed me

oh

@jrg Sounds fantastic, I don't really need anything, I can get a 20+4 Pin PSU online for ~$30, so I think Andrew and I can put together everything he needs. Let me put it this way. He needs everything. He has an old HP workstation from 2000 with red hat on it, bios is locked, OS is locked, and it won't boot externally. Simply replace the hard drive right? Well, he's adamant that it's a crappy computer. Repairing it would be less than advantageous.

@jrg I would give him my old G5 or Dell desktop, yet, I kind of need the Dell for a new media server, and the G5 to pay for my new PSU and whatever else the desktop may need.

back

welcome back

nice Avatar in good well known style \o/

I lost... a torx screwdriver bit.

And I needed it.

It's always those we need most that get lost soon. The ones we never touch are left over.

thanks

Yearling finally came - I was already wondering.

yay

wait whoa

So now I can make a break ;P

@Takkat someone has a page-check bash script

:P

Well - I cant no more - too much used to being here.

@AbrahamVanHelpsing well that would be cheating, woudn't it?

"half of winning is to rig the game" -- johnny depp in some movie

:)

There was one day when it was hard. I was abroad and the place I was had no WiFi, GSM was poor too.

oh well...off to the bookstore - "I'm always looking for a future ex-Mrs Malcolm" -- Jurassic Park

in bookstores?

good luck then

yep. you can gauge a lot about a person by what they read...

Or not read :P

lol

In book stores I only hang out in the IT section and have never seen a girl there

Not once

Then I go pick up my gf and always find some guy, his hopes crazy hight, trying to chat her up :)

They are around the corner on a different floor. They hide the IT books from them.

in fantasy section

patio ... where you drink coffee and read. if they're reading graphic novels...no. if they're reading political pundits or something intellectual talk to them. just saying.

It's actually funny, every other section in bookstore when people meet in front of a shelf they chat. We, in IT shelf, avoid each other.

inner hipster is screaming aloud

I found my Lojbanic IronKey back! :D

@Takkat I think, you don't need to login for every days in the whole year

@mistrfu over here its more like eeek someone made a noise - better go.

@OliveTwist you have - ask htorque. He had to start all over some time ago

merge acc plzzz askubuntu.com/questions/200795/…

@penreturn ping a mod or post it on meta

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I just find it too personal I guess, to interrupt someone from reading. On the other hand I would love to be interrupted.

check your watch. if they do the same, they're subconsciously paying attention to you

@mistrfu by a shop assistant (male) asking "Can I help you?"?

Fanatic is a Gold badge for only 100 days consecutive. So, I thought, yearling being a Silver means you don't need consecutiveness there

it seems i'm wrong

@OliveTwist yeah not for yearling, you only need 200 rep

@Takkat Oh. i was talking about the yearling

^thought we were talking about the consecutiveness

@mistrfu the Haskell one is of no harm - he will nevva talk to you.

@Takkat Yeah, cause in my head "How can YOU help me? This is such a specific problem and I'm afraid you know less about it than me"

@Takkat he doesn't need to he can probably kill with a single thought.

lol

lol

Also, the fun thing is I go there to "socialize". And look for new books. Both attempt fail every SINGLE time, without exception. I then go home and order the book on Amazon

what's this? askubuntu.com/a/48711/61218

(10k+ users)

<-- is dizzy from the A B A C B A B C question

joke

Every so many visits to a bookstore I buy something smallm like bash pocket reference, or javascript pocket reference, just to not steal their air.

why he deleted that?

@OliveTwist check rev history

BBL

@jokerdino 2 upvotes

@jokerdino checked already. i guess there was an error

yes, confirmed

ok, marco gave a better answer.

@jokerdino he was 3 min. earlier.

oh heh

i am just not in the right mind

Hi guys!

o/

o/ \o

boid!

zoid

coid

loid

So, I havea Ubuntu question! Can I shoot?

@mistrfu Please do:D

@mistrfu sure

no

pew pew pew

@OliveTwist what?

aaaaaaarrrgh

DON'T SHOOT

@OliveTwist AH LOL

@jorge, we are making some progress on the unity reset script.

Is there a way to stop app center from loading all that content when I open it? It takes way too long, all I want is to get to visual repo search.

use aptitude search

<-- uses synaptic

+1 for synaptic

aptitude is awesome

I use apt-cache search, but when I am in a clicky mood

synaptic is just gui of aptitude ;p

that made it awesomer

It tells you what dependencies it will grab in addition before you go.

(or what needs to be removed)

I especially like the bottom bar with all 5 tabs

Alright installing synaptic, will check it out. Haven't see it in years :)

> 2256 installed.

I like ^this one

> 2710 installed

That's 12.10...

It's 12.04

I was wondering how come I has no tabs

you have to enable this from preference

ooooh - synaptic haz prefrences????

Preference -> General tab -> "Show package properties in main window"

\o/

<-- never checked preferences from synaptic because I thought it was good the way it is

But these tabs are better

scroll the dependencies

lolz

also the "installed files"

"versions"

0 is not much

See? No tabs

Sorrry for quality, I have old CRT monitor.

huahhahaha

You can resolve dependencies very good with synaptic. Though aptitude is better in this case

say wha??

why is it weirdish

Haz ultra-wide screen

how do you guys do this?

thanks

----> LOL!

can i restrict a process to use only 50% cpu share?

I'm not interested in priority

can both be same?

ooooooh, this Aptitude is awesome. Especially with the tabs on. It's like another dmension.
