Yeah but when I went to school it one advanced class was called "Assemblers and Compilers" it wasn't called "Assembling and Compiling".
 
Because Assemblers are what compile assembly into machine code.
That's the proper use of that word.
 
We didn't walk around saying "Assembly and Compily" the program.
 
Except in South Carolina.....
 
And you don't call it "Cs and Javas"
 
We only assembled at assembly in grade school.
 
11:02 PM
this isn't a debate lol
 
I think it is...
 
you write assembly code, which is compiled into machine code using an assembler.
 
it is after 4 beers...lmao
 
zee and zed are the same thing
assembly and assembler are different concepts
 
just call it ASM
 
11:07 PM
@KazWolfe We were taught Assembler in school and we always called it that... I could say I need to breath some fresh air and you could say "no it's 85% nitrogen don't call it oxygen" and technically you could be right but I will always have my layman terms.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix you were taught how to write code for a certain assembler (8086?).
 
@KazWolfe mainframes... IBM S/360, Cybrer Total 720.
 
you said "assemblers and compilers". that's the proper use. the assembler is a type of compiler, and vice versa.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix air isn't synonymous with oxygen, it's synonymous with the mixture of gasses in our atmosphere which we breath
 
@KazWolfe the course was about setting up symbolic tables and parsing language... don't remember it that well.
 
11:09 PM
Or, you've learned "Writing code for the S/360 Assembler"
 
@Zacharee1 is that a tag synonym I can use with my new 2500 point powers?...HeHe
 
sigh
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix no.
unless you have 5 points in the synonym.
and you don't want to just use meta
 
well you could ask some air questions in AU and I can answer and propose tags?
"How does a wolfe get more air in a couped up den whilst upgrading Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10?"
 
opening the window
 
11:12 PM
Every time I do that the people downstairs spark a joint and I get a headache.
So I can just do a sudo cp /dev/sdc3 /dev/sda2 to clone my Ubuntu 16.04 to a new partition for 16.10 upgrading?
 
no
you cant copy block devices
you need to use dd
 
dd = disk destroyer right?
 
If used incorrectly, yes.
 
only if you don't know what you're doing
 
ok so dd /dev/sdc3 /dev/sda2... what about length? sdc3 will be 30gb, sda2 will be 100 GB
 
11:16 PM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix for the love of god do man dd
 
of course I know what i'm doing I've programmed in Assember before!
 
think of dd as a Hindu god/des
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix with what you're currently doing with that command you're gonna lose your entire computer.
 
It can build things up, renew life, etc, but it also destroys
 
pfft.... i'm not going to dd into BIOS so I can't destroy my WHOLE computer, just the target drive... which only has Windows 7 non-genuine on it anyway.
 
11:19 PM
your username is somewhat ironic right now
 
I have three drives with three broken Windows 7 on this laptop
plus an external USB drive with broken vista I think.
@Zacharee1 my username was created a couple of years ago when I was angry and I never changed it.
 
well change it then :p
 
or something a little less.... derogatory
 
A name like that could make a Panda Paranoid
WE2U=WinEuunucks2Unix (however you spell it).
derogatory you mean as in putting Microsoft down?
 
11:26 PM
I need some more pull requests if I'm going to get my t-shirt.
 
What does your t-shirt say? "I got pulled and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"
@KazWolfe ok, I found something... When you google "Assembler Program" the first thing comes up and you click and it says "What does an assembler do in a computer?
An assembler is a program that takes basic computer instructions and converts them into a pattern of bits that the computer's processor can use to perform its basic operations. Some people call these instructions assembler language and others use the term assembly language."
@KazWolfe So there is your link that says "some people" call it "assembler" and some people call it "assembly".
 
and where's the source that makes it correct?
i can say cats cause cancer in humans, and that doesn't make it correct.
 
@KazWolfe ...even if it is true:
 
@KazWolfe bad example because I don't believe in cancer. If you said cats cause headaches I would agree.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix o.O
 
11:38 PM
Why is <pre> tag not working ?
 
you... don't believe in cancer?
 
@KazWolfe no
 
i...
um...
er
 
The word is probably said a billion times around the world every day.... just today Al-Jazeera aired a story on how in Africa they can cheaply diagnose breast cancer from female in-patient tears.

[Writing C code ](askubuntu.com/a/837251/295286) because all bash and python answers are taken T_T
 
@Serg... haha nicely done... I was reading that Q&A this morning or yesterday afternoon.
let me be your first plus one
 
wow. i just rubbing alcohol'd my phone, and it looks perfectly new
 
@KazWolfe yeah I'm totally in support of screen protectors and alcohol wipe towelletes.
 
like out-of-the-box new.
and t-mobile gave me a dropped piece of junk.
the salt is real
 
@Serg I should complete the challenge with a Go program :D
 
11:46 PM
When I plug my phone in and do a lsusb I get "Bus 003 Device 013: ID 1bbb:af00 T & A Mobile Phones Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 - 5.5""... Is T & A "T-Mobile"... it has a different meaning in Canada.
 
@NathanOsman yes, do it !
 
@Serg Java time!
 
@KazWolfe yes !!! Bring it in !!!
Perl , anyone ?
 
I heard "Perl" is a language for making websites.
 
you heard wrong
 
11:47 PM
Eh . . . maybe in past . . .
 
Oh... well I heard from a student taking "Perl" in school... I'm sure she wasn't intentionally lying.
 
Perl and PHP , used to be good CGI programming languages. But time's gone, and nowadays Python and Ruby are far better that the early two
Oh, Ruby ! Anyone wanna add an answer in Ruby ?
 
jQuery, anyone?

A: How to display the paths in $PATH separately

Nathan OsmanHere's the equivalent in Go: $ cat path.go package main import ( "fmt" "os" "strings" ) func main() { for _, p := range strings.Split(os.Getenv("PATH"), ":") { fmt.Println(p) } } $ go run path.go /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /usr/gam...

There we go :)
 
11:51 PM
So, unless anyone wanna take ruby , I'll add that to my answer
 
@NathanOsman good job +1.
Hey @KazWolfe won't send me a bill for voting up Serg and Nathan I hope :(

Q: Disable inverse scrolling on trackpad?

TheXedI just can't get use to inverse/natural scrolling or whatever it is. How do I disable the system wide inverse scrolling and go back to the more traditional scrolling? Any help would be appreciated!

 
I was wondering last week what "natural scrolling" means????
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix it translates to "piss TheXed off"
 
@TheXed actually it says "Jul 21, 2011 - Apple big wigs have been touting natural scrolling as the "right way" to be ... is oriented almost perpendicularly to the trackpad, it doesn't work.
"
 
11:55 PM
If it is the right way then why does my brain reject it?
 
@NathanOsman for _, p :=
 
@TheXed but at the end it says "it doesn't work"... I didn't read the whole link
 
What's that do ?
 
my brain really rejects it when I am on multiple devices, some do it and some don't...I am so confused...
 
I hate to tell you guys but before your posts I already voted for echo "${PATH//:/$'\n'}" I'm a shameful sucker for good one-liners.
 
11:58 PM
But I suppose most people don't have this problem because they don't use 5 devices at various times throughout the day...
